(A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
AND CONSOLIDATED VENTURES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
GENERAL
Readers of this report should refer to the Partnership's audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995 which are
included in the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report, as certain footnote
disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such
audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported or disclosed amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 was adopted by the
Partnership on January 1, 1996.
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Partnership, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, is permitted
to engage in various transactions involving the Managing General Partner
and its affiliates including the reimbursement for direct expenses relating
to the administration of the Partnership and the operation of the
Partnership's investments. Fees, commissions and other expenses required
to be paid by the Partnership to the General Partners and their affiliates
as of March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
are as follows:

====== ====== =======
ONE WOODFIELD LAKE
One Woodfield Lake office building currently operates in a market
which is characterized by low occupancies and net effective rent levels.
The Partnership must escrow any cash flow due to the terms of the current
property indebtedness (as modified and extended in 1995). An amount of
$42,435 has been escrowed with the lender as of the date of this report.
In 1997, tenant leases representing approximately 26% of the property will
expire. There can be no assurance that the expiring tenant space will be
renewed. Any resulting vacancy and any subsequent releasing costs would
likely adversely affect property cash flows. Should the property not
produce sufficient cash flow to service its indebtedness, the joint venture
may decide not to commit any significant additional amounts of capital to
this property due to the fact that recovery of such amounts may be
unlikely. As a result, the joint venture would no longer have an ownership
interest in the property. In such event, the joint venture would recognize
a gain for financial reporting and Federal income tax reporting purposes
without any net realizable proceeds.
WESTDALE MALL
The mall continues to operate in a very competitive retail
environment. During the first quarter of 1996, occupancy has dropped to
85%. Currently, as leases expire, lease renewals and new leases are likely
to be at rental rates equal to or slightly below rates on existing leases.
In addition, new leases will likely require expenditures for lease
commission and tenant improvements prior to tenant occupancy. This
anticipated decline in rental rates, an anticipated increase in re-leasing
time and the costs upon releasing will result in a decrease in cash flow
from operations over the near term. The Partnership is also evaluating the
competitive positioning of this property in its market. The joint venture
intends to allocate the resources necessary for the manager of the mall to
continue to attract new tenants, subject to Venture working capital sources
and reserves.
ADJUSTMENTS
In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation have been made to the accompanying figures as of March 31,
1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Reference is made to the notes to the accompanying financial
statements for additional information concerning the Partnership's
investments.
At March 31, 1996, the Partnership and its consolidated ventures had
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6,923,000. Such funds are
available for distributions to partners and working capital requirements of
which approximately $1,400,000 is being held at the Westdale Mall for costs
to be incurred including capital additions and tenant improvements.
The General Partners of the Partnership expect to be able to conduct
an orderly liquidation of its remaining investment portfolio as quickly as
practicable. Therefore, the affairs of the Partnership are expected to be
wound up no later than December 31, 1999 (sooner if the properties are sold
in the near term), barring unforeseen economic developments.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The increase in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1996 as
compared to December 31, 1995 is primarily due to cash being held for
capital improvements at the Westdale investment property.
The increase in escrow deposits and the related accrued real estate
taxes at March 31, 1996 as compared to December 31, 1995 is primarily due
to the timing of payments of real estate taxes at the Partnership's
investment properties.
The decrease in mortgage and other interest for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 is primarily due to
the 1995 debt extension and modification which reduced the monthly
effective mortgage loan interest cost at the One Woodfield Lake investment
property.
