The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 5 ------ AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION ----------------------------------- The financial statements presented herein are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and the instructions for preparing Form 10-Q under Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are unaudited. As such, these financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the footnotes presented in the 2000 Annual Report. Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change to the information presented in the footnotes to the 2000 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 have been made and are reflected. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. NOTE 2 - CASH ---------------- At June 30, 2001, American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") had $1,041,403 invested in federal agency discount notes, repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U.S. Government securities, or other highly liquid overnight investments. NOTE 3 - REVENUE RECOGNITION -------------------------------- Rents are payable to the Partnership monthly or quarterly and no significant amounts are calculated on factors other than the passage of time. The leases are accounted for as operating leases and are noncancellable. Rents received prior to their due dates are deferred. In certain instances, the Partnership may enter renewal or re-lease agreements which expire beyond the Partnership's anticipated dissolution date. This circumstance is not expected to prevent the orderly wind-up of the Partnership's business activities as the General Partner and Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG") would seek to sell the then-remaining equipment assets either to the lessee or to a third party, taking into consideration the amount of future noncancellable rental payments associated with the attendant lease agreements. See also Note 7 to the financial statements regarding the Class Action Lawsuit. Future minimum rents of $31,750 are due as follows:
For the year ending June 30, 2002 $16,280 2003 14,280 2004 1,190 ------- . Total $31,750 =======
6 ------ AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 4 - EQUIPMENT --------------------- The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Partnership at June 30, 2001. Remaining Lease Term (Months), as used below, represents the number of months remaining from June 30, 2001 under contracted lease terms and is presented as a range when more than one lease agreement is contained in the stated equipment category. A Remaining Lease Term equal to zero reflects equipment either held for sale or re-lease or being leased on a month-to-month basis. In the opinion of EFG, the acquisition cost of the equipment did not exceed its fair market value.
Remaining Lease Term Equipment Equipment Type (Months) at Cost ------------------------------------------- ---------- ----------- Trailers/intermodal containers 0-1 $ 323,542 Materials handling 0-6 267,667 Research and test 0 105,805 Manufacturing 25 95,460 Communications 0 80,063 Motor vehicles 25 64,367 Tractors and heavy duty trucks 25 46,921 Construction and mining 0 31,282 Computers and peripherals 0 1,146 ----------- Total equipment cost . 1,016,253 Accumulated depreciation . (974,382) ----------- Equipment, net of accumulated depreciation . $ 41,871 ===========
At June 30, 2001, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included equipment having a proportionate original cost of $106,000, representing approximately 10% of total equipment cost. The summary above includes fully depreciated equipment held for re-lease or sale with an original cost of approximately $106,000. The General Partner is actively seeking the sale or re-lease of all equipment not on lease. NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE VENTURE ------------------------------------------------- On March 8, 2000, the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (the ''Exchange Partnerships'') collectively loaned $32 million to Echelon Residential Holdings LLC (''Echelon Residential Holdings''), a newly formed real estate company. Echelon Residential Holdings is owned by several investors, including James A. Coyne, Executive Vice President of EFG. In addition, certain affiliates of the General Partner made loans to Echelon Residential Holdings in their individual capacities. The Partnership's original loan was $2,730,000. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential LLC), used the loan proceeds to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon International Corporation, a Florida-based real estate company. The loan has a term of 30 months, maturing on September 8, 2002, and an annual interest rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months. 7 Interest accrues and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity. In connection with the transaction, Echelon Residential Holdings has pledged a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to its membership interests in Echelon Residential LLC to the Exchange Partnerships as collateral. The loan is presented, in accordance with the guidance set forth in the Third Notice to Practitioners by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in February 1986 entitled "ADC Arrangements", as an investment in real estate venture and is presented net of the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings. The Partnership is allocated its proportionate share of the unconsolidated real estate venture's net income or loss, adjusted for interest on the ADC arrangements, based on the balance of its ADC arrangement in relation to the real estate venture's total equity and notes payable, including the ADC arrangements. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings was $118,882 and $17,502, respectively, and are reflected on the Statement of Operations as ''Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate venture's loss." The Partnership took into consideration the following characteristics of the loan in determining that the loan should be accounted for as an investment in a real estate venture: (i) the Exchange Partnerships who made the loans collectively have provided substantially all of the necessary funds to acquire the underlying properties without taking title to such properties, (ii) by virtue of a pledged security interest in the wholly owned subsidiary of Echelon Residential Holdings that holds title to the properties, the Partnership's loan is secured only by the underlying properties, (iii) Echelon Residential Holdings will only repay the Partnership at maturity, including all interest accrued on the loan through maturity, (iv) it is expected that Echelon Residential Holdings can only repay the loan through sales of undeveloped and developed property; and (v) the structure of the loan (i.e. no payments due until maturity) makes it unlikely that the properties will be taken in foreclosure as a result of delinquency. The summarized financial information for Echelon Residential Holdings as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, is as follows: (Unaudited) As of and for the periods ended June 30,
2001 2000 ------------ ------------ Total assets $79,159,776 $54,704,360 Total liabilities $85,455,528 $48,386,270 Minority interest $ 1,782,982 $ 2,527,750 Total equity (deficit) $(8,078,734) $ 3,790,340 Total revenues $ 1,705,679 $ 905,751 Total expenses, minority interest and equity in loss of unconsolidated joint venture $ 5,924,774 $ 2,593,700 Net loss $(4,219,095) $(1,687,949)
8 NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS ---------------------------------------- All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by EFG on behalf of the Partnership and EFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, which were paid or accrued by the Partnership to EFG or its Affiliates, are as follows:
2001 2000 -------- ------- Equipment management fees $ 2,251 $ 3,870 Administrative charges 38,430 34,527 Reimbursable operating expenses due to third parties 148,457 38,857 -------- ------- Total $189,138 $77,254 ======== =======
All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to EFG. EFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership. At June 30, 2001, the Partnership was owed $18,566 by EFG for such funds and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in July 2001. The discussion of the loan to Echelon Residential Holdings in Note 5 above is incorporated herein by reference. NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ------------------------------ As described more fully in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit, the outcome of which could significantly alter the nature of the Partnership's organization and its future business operations. On March 12, 2001, after a status conference and hearing, the Court issued an order that required the parties, no later than May 15, 2001, to advise the Court on (a) whether the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") had completed its review of the solicitation statement and related materials submitted to the SEC in connection with the proposed settlement, and (b) whether the parties requested the Court to schedule a hearing for final approval of the proposed settlement or were withdrawing the proposed settlement from judicial consideration and resuming the litigation of the Plaintiffs' claims. On May 11, 2001, the general partners of the partnerships that are nominal defendants in the Class Action Lawsuit received a letter dated May 10, 2001 from the Associate Director and Chief Counsel of the Division of Investment Management of the SEC informing the general partners that the staff of the Division believes that American Income Partners V-A Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-B Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-C Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership, American Income Fund I-A, American Income Fund I-B, American Income Fund I-E and AIRFUND II International Limited Partnership (the "Designated Partnerships") are investment companies as defined in Section 3(a)(1)(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The SEC staff noted that Section 7 of the 9 1940 Act makes it unlawful for an unregistered investment company to offer or sell or purchase any security or engage in any business in interstate commerce. Accordingly, Section 7 would prohibit any partnership that is an unregistered investment company from engaging in any business in interstate commerce, except transactions that are merely incidental to its dissolution. The letter also stated that the Division is considering enforcement action with respect to this matter. Noting that the parties to the Class Action Lawsuit were scheduled to appear before the court in the near future to consider a proposed settlement, and that the SEC staff's views, as expressed in the letter, are relevant to the specific matters that will be considered by the court at the hearing, the SEC staff submitted the letter to the court for its consideration. The general partners have consulted with counsel who specializes in the 1940 Act and, based on counsel's advice, do not believe that the Partnership or the other Designated Partnerships are investment companies within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Counsel has corresponded and met with the SEC staff to address the issues concerning the Designated Partnerships' status under the 1940 Act. However, their status is unresolved and there is a risk that the Division of Investment Management may commence enforcement action against the Partnership and the other Designated Partnerships with respect to this matter. Plaintiffs' Counsel and Defendants' Counsel each filed status reports in response to the Court's order on May 15, 2001. The Court held a hearing on May 28, 2001 at which Plaintiffs' Counsel requested that the case be put back on a litigation track anticipating his filing a motion for class certification and discovery leading to the setting of a trial date. Defendants' Counsel requested that the Court address the issue of whether or not the 1940 Act applies to the Designated Partnerships and the consolidation under the proposed settlement. The Court permitted Plaintiffs' Counsel to submit a timetable for discovery and trial and at the same time encouraged the parties to continue to work together with the SEC in an effort to consummate the proposed settlement. Subsequently, the Court scheduled a status conference for February 22, 2002 and a trial date of March 4, 2002. 10 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations. --------------- Certain statements in this quarterly report of American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") that are not historical fact constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These factors include, but are not limited to, the outcome of the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 7 to the accompanying financial statements, the remarketing of the Partnership's equipment and the performance of the Partnership's non-equipment assets. The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") places restrictions on the capital structure and business activities of companies registered thereunder. The Partnership has active business operations in the financial services industry, including equipment leasing and the loan to Echelon Residential Holdings LLC ("Echelon Residential Holdings"). The Partnership does not intend to engage in investment activities in a manner or to an extent that would require the Partnership to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act. However, it is possible that the Partnership may unintentionally engage in an activity or activities that may be construed to fall within the scope of the 1940 Act. If the Partnership were determined to be an unregistered investment company, its business would be adversely affected. The 1940 Act, among other things, prohibits an unregistered investment company from offering securities for sale or engaging in any business in interstate commerce and, consequently, leases and contracts entered into by partnerships that are unregistered investment companies may be voidable. If necessary, the Partnership intends to avoid being deemed an investment company by disposing or acquiring certain assets that it might not otherwise dispose or acquire. On May 11, 2001, the general partners of the partnerships that are nominal defendants in the Class Action Lawsuit received a letter dated May 10, 2001 from the Associate Director and Chief Counsel of the Division of Investment Management of the SEC informing the general partners that the staff of the Division believes that American Income Partners V-A Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-B Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-C Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership, American Income Fund I-A, American Income Fund I-B, American Income Fund I-E and AIRFUND II International Limited Partnership (the "Designated Partnerships") are investment companies as defined in Section 3(a)(1)(c) of the 1940 Act. The letter also stated that the Division is considering enforcement action with respect to this matter. Noting that the parties to the Class Action Lawsuit were scheduled to appear before the court in the near future to consider a proposed settlement, and that the SEC staff's views, as expressed in the letter, are relevant to the specific matters that will be considered by the court at the hearing, the SEC staff submitted the letter to the court for its consideration. The general partners have consulted with counsel who specializes in the 1940 Act and, based on counsel's advice, do not believe that the Partnership or the other Designated Partnerships are investment companies within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Counsel has corresponded and met with the SEC staff to address the issues concerning the Designated Partnerships' status under the 1940 Act. However, their status is unresolved and there is a risk that the Division of Investment Management may commence enforcement action against the Partnership and the other Designated Partnerships with respect to this matter. Plaintiffs' Counsel and Defendants' Counsel each filed status reports in response to the Court's order on May 15, 2001. The Court held a hearing on May 28, 2001 at which Plaintiffs' Counsel requested that the case be put back on a litigation track anticipating his filing a motion for class certification and discovery leading to the setting of a trial date. Defendants' Counsel requested that the Court address the issue of whether or not the 1940 Act applies to the Designated Partnerships and the consolidation under the proposed settlement. The Court permitted 11 Plaintiffs' Counsel to submit a timetable for discovery and trial and at the same time encouraged the parties to continue to work together with the SEC in an effort to consummate the proposed settlement. See Note 7 to the financial statements for additional discussion. Three and six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the three and six months -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ended June 30, 2000: ----------------------- The Partnership was organized in 1990 as a direct-participation equipment leasing program to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements with third parties. Presently, the Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit, the outcome of which could significantly alter the nature of the Partnership's organization and its future business operations. (See Note 7 to the financial statements.) Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership ("the Restated Agreement, as amended"), the Partnership is scheduled to be dissolved by December 31, 2001. However, the General Partner does not expect that the partnership will be dissolved until such time that the Class Action Lawsuit is settled or adjudicated. Results of Operations ----------------------- For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, the Partnership recognized lease revenue of $33,156 and $68,019, respectively, compared to $51,772 and $102,837, respectively, for the same periods in 2000. The decrease in lease revenue from 2000 to 2001 resulted primarily from lease term expirations and equipment sales. In the future, lease revenue will continue to decline due to lease term expirations and the sale of equipment. The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the remaining interests are owned by an affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored by Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG"). Proportionate equipment ownership enabled the Partnership to further diversify its equipment portfolio at inception by participating in the ownership of selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk, which could have resulted from a concentration in any single equipment type, industry or lessee. The Partnership and each affiliate individually report, in proportion to their respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment. Interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was $13,478 and $25,741, respectively, compared to $18,000 and $62,660, respectively, for the same periods in 2000. Interest income is typically generated from temporary investment of rental receipts and equipment sale proceeds in short-term instruments. The amount of future interest income is expected to fluctuate as a result of changing interest rates and the amount of cash available for investment, among other factors. During the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership sold fully depreciated equipment to existing lessees and third parties resulting in net gains of $7,500 and $3,700, respectively. There were no equipment sales during either of the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a net gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be dependent upon the condition and type of equipment being sold and its marketability at the time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss reported for financial statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold. The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is dependent upon many factors, including EFG's ability to sell and re-lease equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances, and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at any given time. EFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which will maximize total cash returns for each asset. The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is comprised of all primary lease term revenue generated from that asset, together with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The Partnership classifies such residual rental payments as lease revenue. 12 Consequently, the amount of gain or loss reported in the financial statements is not necessarily indicative of the total residual value the Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment. Depreciation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was $14,569 and $29,138, respectively, compared to $16,140 and $32,282, respectively, for the same periods in 2000. For financial reporting purposes, to the extent that an asset is held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciates the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual value of the asset on a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of this policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment values at the date of primary lease expiration. To the extent that equipment is held beyond its primary lease term, the Partnership continues to depreciate the remaining net book value of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining economic life. Management fees were $1,083 and $2,251, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and $1,953 and $3,870, respectively for the same periods of 2000. Management fees are based on 5% of gross lease revenue generated by operating leases and 2% of gross lease revenue generated by full payout leases. Operating expense were $108,623 and $186,887, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 compared to $37,198 and $73,384, respectively, for the same periods in 2000. In 2001, operating expenses included approximately $59,000 related to the Class Action Lawsuit discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements herein. Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges, professional service costs, such as audit and other legal fees, as well as printing, distribution and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment storage or repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being remarketed. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holding were $62,855 and $118,882, respectively, compared to $14,831 and $17,502, respectively, for the same periods in 2000. The losses are reflected on the Statement of Operations as "Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate venture's loss." See further discussion below. Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity. The Partnership's principal operating activities derive from asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's principal source of cash from operations is generally provided by the collection of periodic rents. These cash inflows are used to pay management fees and operating costs. Operating activities generated net cash outflows of $92,808 during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and net cash inflows of $87,614 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. Future renewal, re-lease and equipment sale activities will cause a decline in the Partnership's lease revenues and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow from operating activities will also decline as the Partnership experiences a higher frequency of remarketing events. Cash realized from asset disposal transactions is reported under investing activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership realized equipment sale proceeds of $7,500 and $3,700, respectively. Future inflows of cash from asset disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by many factors including, but not limited to, the frequency and timing of lease expirations, the type of equipment being sold, its condition and age, and future market conditions. At June 30, 2001, the Partnership had aggregate future minimum lease payments of $31,750 from contractual lease agreements (see Note 3 to the financial statements). At the expiration of the individual lease terms underlying the Partnership's future minimum lease payments, the Partnership will sell the equipment or enter re-lease or renewal agreements when considered advantageous by the General Partner and EFG. Such future remarketing activities will result in the realization of additional cash inflows in the form of equipment sale proceeds or rents from renewals and re-leases, the timing and extent of which cannot be predicted with certainty. This is because the timing and extent of remarketing events often is dependent upon the needs and interests of the 13 existing lessees. Some lessees may choose to renew their lease contracts, while others may elect to return the equipment. In the latter instances, the equipment could be re-leased to another lessee or sold to a third party. In connection with a preliminary settlement agreement for the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 7 to the accompanying financial statements, the court permitted the Partnership to invest in any new investment, including but not limited to new equipment or other business activities, subject to certain limitations. On March 8, 2000, the Partnership loaned $2,730,000 to a newly formed real estate company, Echelon Residential Holdings, to finance the acquisition of real estate assets by that company. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly owned subsidiary ("Echelon Residential LLC"), used the loan proceeds, along with the loan proceeds from similar loans by ten affiliated partnerships, representing $32 million in the aggregate, to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon International Corporation, an independent Florida-based real estate company. Echelon Residential Holding's interest in Echelon Residential LLC is pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement to the partnerships as collateral for the loans. The loan has a term of 30 months, maturing on September 8, 2002, and an annual interest rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months. Interest accrues and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity. As discussed in Note 5 to the Partnership's financial statements, the loan is considered to be an investment in a real estate venture for accounting purposes. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position No. 78-9, "Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures", the Partnership reports its share of income or loss of Echelon Residential Holdings under the equity method of accounting. The loan made by the Partnership to Echelon Residential Holdings is, and will continue to be, subject to various risks, including the risk of default by Echelon Residential Holdings, which could require the Partnership to foreclose under the pledge agreement on its interests in Echelon Residential LLC. The ability of Echelon Residential Holdings to make loan payments and the amount the Partnership may realize after a default would be dependent upon the risks generally associated with the real estate lending business including, without limitation, the existence of senior financing or other liens on the properties, general or local economic conditions, property values, the sale of properties, interest rates, real estate taxes, other operating expenses, the supply and demand for properties involved, zoning and environmental laws and regulations, rent control laws and other governmental rules. A default by Echelon Residential Holdings could have a material adverse effect on the future cash flow and operating results of the Partnership. The Restated Agreement, as amended, prohibits the Partnership from making loans to the General Partner or its affiliates. Since the acquisition of the several parcels of real estate from the owner had to occur prior to the admission of certain independent third parties as equity owners, Echelon Residential Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary, Echelon Residential LLC, were formed in anticipation of their admission. The General Partner agreed to an officer of the Manager serving as the initial equity holder of Echelon Residential Holdings and as an unpaid manager of Echelon Residential Holdings. The officer made a $185,465 equity investment in Echelon Residential Holdings. His return on his equity investment is restricted to the same rate of return as the partnerships realize on their loans. There is a risk that the court may object to the general partner's action in structuring the loan in this way since the officer may be deemed an affiliate and the loans in violation of the prohibition against loans to affiliates and the court's statement in its order permitting New Investments that all other provisions of the Partnership Agreements governing the investment objectives and policies of the Partnership shall remain in full force and effect. The court may require the partnerships to restructure or divest the loan. There are no formal restrictions under the Restated Agreement, as amended, that materially limit the Partnership's ability to pay cash distributions, except that the General Partner may suspend or limit cash distributions to ensure that the Partnership maintains sufficient working capital reserves to cover, among other things, operating costs and potential expenditures, such as refurbishment costs to remarket equipment upon lease expiration. In addition to the need for funds in connection with the Class Action Lawsuit, liquidity is especially important as the Partnership matures and sells equipment, because the remaining equipment base consists of fewer revenue-producing assets that are available to cover prospective cash disbursements. Insufficient liquidity could inhibit the Partnership's ability to sustain its operations or maximize the realization of proceeds from remarketing its remaining assets. 14 Cash distributions to the General Partner and Recognized Owners had been declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each calendar quarter. The payment of such distributions is reported under financing activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. No cash distributions were declared for either of the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 or 2000. In any given year, it is possible that Recognized Owners will be allocated taxable income in excess of distributed cash. This discrepancy between tax obligations and cash distributions may or may not continue in the future, and cash may or may not be available for distribution to the Recognized Owners adequate to cover any tax obligation. Cash distributions when paid to the Recognized Owners generally consist of both a return of and a return on capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Partnership and will be dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of renewal and/or re-lease rents, the residual value realized for each asset at its disposal date and the performance of the Partnership's non-equipment assets. The Partnership's capital account balances for federal income tax and for financial reporting purposes are different primarily due to differing treatments of income and expense items for income tax purposes in comparison to financial reporting purposes (generally referred to as permanent or timing differences; see Note 6 to the financial statements presented in the Partnership's 2000 Annual Report). For instance, selling commissions and organization and offering costs pertaining to syndication of the Partnership's limited partnership units are not deductible for federal income tax purposes, but are recorded as a reduction of partners' capital for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, such differences are permanent differences between capital accounts for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Other differences between the bases of capital accounts for federal income tax and financial reporting purposes occur due to timing differences. Such items consist of the cumulative difference between income or loss for tax purposes and financial statement income or loss. The principal components of the cumulative difference between financial statement income or loss and tax income or loss result from different depreciation policies for book and tax purposes and different treatments for book and tax purposes related to the real estate venture. For financial reporting purposes, the General Partner has accumulated a capital deficit at June 30, 2001. This is the result of aggregate cash distributions to the General Partner being in excess of its capital contribution of $1,000 and its allocation of financial statement net income or loss. Ultimately, the existence of a capital deficit for the General Partner for financial reporting purposes is not indicative of any further capital obligations to the Partnership by the General Partner. The Restated Agreement, as amended, requires that upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner will be required to contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to any negative balance, which may exist in the General Partner's tax capital account. At December 31, 2000, the General Partner had a positive tax capital account balance. The outcome of the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 7 to the accompanying financial statements, will be the principal factor in determining the future of the Partnership's operations. The settlement or adjudication of that lawsuit may materially change the future organizational structure and business interests of the Partnership, as well as its cash distribution policies. In addition, commencing with the first quarter of 2000, the General Partner suspended the payment of quarterly cash distributions pending final resolution of the Class Action Lawsuit. Accordingly, future cash distributions are not expected to be paid until the Class Action Lawsuit is settled or adjudicated. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Partnership's financial statements include financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risks. The Partnership's acquisition, development and construction loan to Echelon Residential Holdings matures on September 8, 2002 and earns interest at a fixed annual rate of 14% for the first 24 months and a fixed annual rate of 18% for the last 6 months of the loan. Investments earning a fixed rate of interest may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. The effect of interest rate fluctuations on the Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was not material. 15 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q PART II.
