(4)  Real Estate Investments –

The Partnership owns a 30% interest in the Gander Mountain store in Champaign, Illinois.  The remaining interests in the property are owned by affiliates of the Partnership.  On March 10, 2017, Gander Mountain Company filed for Chapter 11 reorganization and announced it was closing the store, following a liquidation sale of its onsite assets.  In June 2017, the tenant filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to reject the lease for this store effective June 30, 2017. At this time, the tenant returned possession of the property to the owners and the Partnership became responsible for its 30% share of real estate taxes and other costs associated with maintaining the property. The tenant paid rent through June 2017.  The owners have listed the property for lease with a real estate broker in the Champaign area.  The annual rent from this property represented approximately 13% of the total annual rent of the Partnership's property portfolio.  The loss of rent and increased expenses related to this property decreased the Partnership's cash flow.  Consequently, beginning with the third quarter of 2017, the Partnership reduced its regular quarterly cash distribution rate from $13.18 per Unit to $10.51 per Unit.

As a result of the bankruptcy court terminating the lease for the Gander Mountain store, the Partnership included an additional $270,097 in Depreciation and Amortization in the second quarter of 2017, which represented the unamortized balance of the in-place lease intangible that was created when the property was purchased in 2014.

In March 2017, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the tenant of the KinderCare daycare center in Andover, Minnesota to extend the lease term five years to end on June 30, 2022.  The annual rent will remain the same throughout the remainder of the extended lease term.  As part of the agreement, the Partnership paid a tenant improvement allowance of $30,000 that was capitalized.  In addition, beginning on April 1, 2017, the tenant received free rent for three months that equaled $36,362.

In the first quarter of 2017, the Partnership decided to sell the KinderCare daycare center.  In October 2017, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the property to an unrelated third party.  On November 14, 2017, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net proceeds of $1,696,401, which resulted in a net gain of $1,043,829.  At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $1,294,207 and $641,635, respectively.

In April 2017, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the tenant of the Fresenius Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana to extend the lease term nine years to end on June 30, 2027.  The annual rent will remain the same throughout the remainder of the extended lease term.  As part of the agreement, the Partnership paid a tenant improvement allowance of $46,750 that was capitalized and will be depreciated.
