RMI COVERED HOPPER RAILCAR MANAGEMENT PROGRAM 79-1
NOTES TO THE STATEMENTS OF REVENUES COLLECTED AND EXPENSES PAID
AND OTHER CHANGES IN CASH
June 30, 1996
1. Basis of Presentation
RMI Covered Hopper Railcar Management Program 79-1 (the Program) is not a legal
entity. The statements of revenues collected and expenses paid and other changes
in cash (the Statements) of the Program are presented on the cash basis of
accounting, used for reporting to investors in the Program in accordance with
the Management Agreement with PLM Investment Management, Inc. (IMI). Under the
cash basis, revenues are recognized when received, rather than when earned, and
expenses are recognized when paid, rather than when the obligation is incurred.
Accordingly, the Statements are not intended to present financial position, or
results of operations or cash flows in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
2. Operations
At June 30, 1996, 469 cars, which are owned by the investors, were being managed
by IMI under the Program, all of which were covered by lease agreements. During
the six months ending June 30, 1996, five cars were added, 31 cars were sold and
three railcars were transferred from investors to other investors and IMI
received a commission fee of $42,680 to handle the sale and transfer.
3. Equalization reserve
Under the terms of the management agreement, IMI may, at its discretion, cause
the Program to retain a certain amount of cash (the working capital reserve) to
cover future disbursements and provide for a balanced distribution of funds to
the investors each quarter. IMI has determined the working capital reserve at
June 30, 1996, to be $971,273 ($873,359 at December 31, 1995).
<PAGE>
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CASH BALANCES AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Program's capital commitments consist of paying operating expenses, and to
the extent funds are available, making cash distributions to the investors. Cash
reserves are considered sufficient to cover all known liabilities of the
equipment pool.
Comparison of the Program's Revenues Collected, Expenses Paid and Other Changes
in Cash for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
Revenues collected:
(1) Lease receipts increased to $623,070 in the second quarter of 1996 from
$574,208 in the second quarter of 1995. The increase is primarily due to the
timing of receipt of revenues during the comparable periods and higher average
lease rates.
(2) Interest and other income decreased to $17,891 in the second quarter of
1996, from $18,291 in the second quarter of 1995, due to lower interest income
resulting from a lower interest rate on the cash balances maintained by the
Program.
Expenses paid:
(1) Repairs and maintenance expense decreased to $65,952 in the second quarter
of 1996, from $68,662 in the second quarter of 1995. The decrease is due to the
timing of payments of expenses during comparable periods.
(2) Property taxes decreased to $6,648 in the second quarter of 1996, from
$11,829 in the second quarter of 1995. The decrease is due to the timing of
payments for these expenses during the comparable periods, as the tax rates
remained constant.
(3) Accounting and legal fees increased to $3,988 in the second quarter of 1996,
from $2,319 in the second quarter of 1995 due to the timing of payments for
these expenses during the comparable periods, as the service level remain the
same.
(4) Storage, repositioning and other expenses increased to $2,079 in the second
quarter of 1996, from $1,769 in the second quarter of 1995. The increase is
primarily due to the timing of payments of expenses during comparable periods.
Other changes in cash:
(1) Prepaid mileage, reimbursable repairs and other are composed primarily of
receipts of mileage credits from railroads which are due to lessees, net of
reimbursable repairs due from lessees. The funds increased by $23,508 in the
second quarter of 1996, as compared to a decrease of $30,798 in the second
quarter of 1995. The difference between comparable periods is due primarily to
the timing of net receipts and repayments of these funds by the Program.
(2) Management fees paid increased to $68,512 in the second quarter 1996, from
$63,726 in the second quarter of 1995. The increase is due to $14,970 of
incentive fees for net income over $750 per car that was paid in the second
quarter of 1996, as compared to comparable incentive fees of $7,410 that was
paid in the second quarter of 1995.
(3) During the second quarter of 1996, two cars were sold for $61,000 for which
IMI received a commission of $2,440. The net proceeds of $921,600 that was paid
to the investors in the second quarter of 1996 includes the net proceeds of
$863,040 for 29 cars sold in the first quarter of 1996.

in Cash for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
Revenues collected:
(1) Lease receipts increased to $1,257,117 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 from $1,249,641 for the comparable period in 1995. The increase is

(2) Interest and other income decreased to $38,088 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, from $42,937 for the comparable period in 1995, due to lower interest

the Program.

(1) Repairs and maintenance expense decreased to $138,340 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996, from $143,103 for the comparable period in 1995. The

(2) Property taxes decreased to $12,740 for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
from $16,452 for the comparable period in 1995. The decrease is due to the

rates remained constant.
(3) Accounting and legal fees increased to $7,311 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, from $4,442 for the comparable period in 1995 due to the timing of

receipts of mileage credits from railroads which are due to lessees, net of
reimbursable repairs due from lessees. The funds decreased by $43,513 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to an increase of $596 for the
comparable period in 1995. The difference between comparable periods is due
primarily to the timing of net receipts and repayments of these funds by the
Program.
(2) Management fees paid increased to $136,515 for the six months period ended
June 30, 1996, from $127,672 for the comparable period in 1995. The increase is
due to $26,240 of incentive fees for net income over $750 per car that was paid
for the comparable period in 1996, as compared to comparable incentive fees of
$14,850 that was paid for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
(3) During the six months ended June 30, 1996, 31 cars were sold for $960,000
for which IMI received a commission of $38,400. The net proceeds of $921,600 was
paid to the investors for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
The Program distributed $957,101 to investors for the six months ended June 30,
1996, a 14% increase from the comparable period in 1995.
The Program's performance for the six months ended June 30, 1996 is not
necessarily indicative of future periods.
Inflation and changing prices did not materially impact the Program's revenues
collected, expenses, and other changes in cash during the reported periods.
