PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Consolidated Capital Properties III (the "Registrant" or "Partnership") was
organized on May 22, 1980, as a limited partnership under the California Uniform
Limited Partnership Act. On November 25, 1980, the Partnership registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of
1933 (File No. 2-68018) and commenced a public offering for sale of $60,000,000
of Units, with the general partner's right to increase the offering to
$120,000,000. The Units represent equity interests in the Partnership and
entitle the holders thereof to participate in certain allocations and
distributions of the Partnership. The Partnership subsequently filed a Form 8-A
Registration Statement with the SEC and registered its units under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (File No. 0-10273) in March 1982. The sale of
Limited Partnership Units closed on December 17, 1981, with 158,945 Units sold
at $500 each, or gross proceeds of $79,473,000 to the Partnership. At the
request of certain Limited Partners and in accordance with its Partnership
Agreement (herein so called), the Partnership has retired a total of 363 Units.
The Partnership gave no consideration for these units.
By the end of fiscal year 1985, approximately 71% of the proceeds raised had
been invested in twenty-eight properties. Of the remaining 29%, 11% was required
for organizational and offering expenses, sales commissions and acquisition
fees, and 18% was retained in Partnership reserves for project improvements and
working capital as required by the Partnership Agreement.
The general partner of the Partnership is ConCap Equities, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "General Partner" or "CEI"). The principal place of business
for the Partnership and for the General Partner is One Insignia Financial Plaza,
Greenville, South Carolina 29602.
The Partnership's primary business and only industry segment is real estate
related operations. The Partnership was formed to acquire, own, operate and
ultimately dispose of income-producing real properties for the benefit of its
partners. At December 31, 1997, the Partnership owns four properties as
described in "Item 2 - Description of Property". Prior to 1997, the Partnership
disposed of twenty-six properties, two of which were reacquired through
foreclosure.
The real estate business is highly competitive. The Registrant's real property
investments are subject to competition from similar types of properties in the
vicinities in which they are located, and the Partnership is not a significant
factor in its industry. In addition, various limited partnerships have been
formed by related parties to engage in businesses which may be competitive with
the Registrant.
The Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services are
performed by affiliates of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"), an
affiliate of the General Partner. The property manager is responsible for the
day-to-day operations of each property. The General Partner has also selected
affiliates of Insignia to provide real estate advisory and asset management
services to the Partnership. As advisor, such affiliates provide all
partnership accounting and administrative services, investment management, and
supervisory services over property management and leasing. For further
discussion of property and partnership management, see "Item 12".
There have been, and it is possible there may be other, Federal, state and local
legislation and regulations enacted relating to the protection of the
environment. The Partnership is unable to predict the extent, if any, to which
such new legislation or regulations might occur and the degree to which such
existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties
owned by the Partnership.
The Partnership monitors its properties for evidence of pollutants, toxins and
other dangerous substances, including the presence of asbestos. In certain
cases environmental testing has been performed, which resulted in no material
adverse conditions or liabilities. In no case has the Partnership received
notice that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to an
environmental clean up site.
Upon the Partnership's formation in 1980, Consolidated Capital Equities
Corporation ("CCEC"), a Colorado corporation, was the corporate general partner.
In 1988, through a series of transactions, Southmark Corporation ("Southmark")
acquired controlling interest in CCEC. In December 1988, CCEC filed for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In 1990,
as part of CCEC's reorganization plan, CEI acquired CCEC's general partner
interests in the Partnership and in 15 other affiliated public limited
partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships") and CEI replaced CCEC as managing
general partner in all 16 partnerships. The selection of CEI as the sole
managing general partner was approved by a majority of the Limited Partners in
the Partnership and in each of the Affiliated Partnerships pursuant to a
solicitation of the Limited Partners dated August 10, 1990. As part of this
solicitation, the Limited Partners also approved an amendment to the Partnership
Agreement to limit changes of control of the Partnership.
Prior to December 1994, all of CEI's outstanding stock was owned by GII Realty,
Inc. In December 1994, the parent of GII Realty, Inc., entered into a
transaction (the "Insignia Transaction") in which an affiliate of Insignia
acquired an option (exercisable in whole or in part from time to time) to
purchase all of the stock of GII Realty, Inc. and, pursuant to a partial
exercise of such option, acquired 50.5% of that stock. As a part of the
Insignia Transaction, the Insignia affiliate also acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Partnership Services, Inc., an asset management entity, and
Insignia acquired all of the outstanding stock of Coventry
Properties, Inc., a property management entity. In addition, confidentiality,
non-competition, and standstill arrangements were entered into between certain
of the parties. Those arrangements, among other things, prohibit GII Realty's
former sole shareholder from purchasing Partnership Units for a period of three
years. On October 24, 1995, the Insignia affiliate exercised the remaining
portion of its option to purchase all of the remaining outstanding capital stock
of GII Realty, Inc. As of December 31, 1997, Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT")
owns 100% of the outstanding stock of CEI. At December 31, 1997, Insignia
Properties L.P., an affiliate of Insignia, owned 39,644 Units of the
Partnership.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Partnership originally acquired twenty-eight properties, of which twenty-
five were disposed of in years prior to 1996, and subsequently reacquired two of
these properties through foreclosure on notes receivable. One property was
relinquished through a foreclosure during 1996, thus, at December 31, 1997, the
Partnership held four income-producing properties, including one office building
and three apartment complexes.
The following table sets forth the Partnership's remaining investments in
properties:

Totals $ 4,200 $4,200
(1) Interest only payments
During the second quarter of 1996, the Partnership entered into an interim
financing arrangement for both Ventura Landing and Village Green for $2,200,000
and $2,000,000, respectively. The previous Ventura Landing note of $3,200,000
was repaid at that time. The interest rate was 250 basis points over the 30-day
LIBOR, resulting in a total note rate of 8.00%. The loans matured on August 1,
1996, with a 60-day extension option. The Partnership exercised this option to
convert the interim loans to fixed rate amortizing loans with an interest rate
equal to the Treasury Rate, as defined in the financing agreement, plus 2.15%.
Such converted loans would mature in ten years with monthly payments of
principal and interest based on a schedule which would fully amortize the loans
over a thirty year term. The Partnership, however, continued seeking
alternative long-term financing to obtain a lower interest rate. In November of
1996, these two properties obtained long-term refinancing. Proceeds from this
transaction totaled $4,200,000. The debt accrues interest at a rate of 7.33%
per year, matures on November 1, 2003, and requires balloon payments at maturity
for the full principal amount. Throughout the mortgage term, interest only
payments are required. As a result of the refinancings, the Partnership spent
approximately $20,000 and $201,000 on loan costs during the years ended December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The mortgage notes payable are nonrecourse and are secured by pledge of the
Partnership's properties and by pledge of revenues from the respective rental
properties.
SCHEDULE OF RENTAL RATES AND OCCUPANCY:

West Chase 6,254 6,046 88% 93%
(1) The average annual rental rate for Professional Plaza is per square foot.
The rate is per unit for the apartment properties.
The decrease in occupancy at West Chase Apartments is attributable to
competition from recently built apartment complexes in the Lexington, Kentucky
area.
As noted under "Item 1. Description of Business," the real estate industry is
highly competitive. The Partnership's properties are subject to competition
from other properties in their area. The General Partner believes that the
Partnership's properties are adequately insured. The multifamily residential
properties' lease terms are one year or less. No residential tenant leases 10%
or more of the available rental space.
The following is a schedule of lease expirations at Professional Plaza for the
years 1998-2007:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

of a routine nature. The General Partner of the Partnership believes that all
such pending or outstanding litigation will be resolved without a material
adverse effect upon the business, financial condition, or operations of the
Partnership.

(B) Title of Class Number of Unit Holders of Record
Limited Partnership Units 7,423 as of December 31, 1997
(C) In September of 1997, the Partnership paid distributions totaling
approximately $1,112,000 to the partners, of which approximately $435,000
was attributable to cash flow from operations and $677,000 represented a
return of capital. In April of 1997, the Partnership paid distributions
to the partners representing a return of capital totaling approximately
$1,150,000. In September of 1996, the Partnership paid distributions
attributable to cash flow from operations totaling approximately $368,000
to the partners. In April of 1996, the Partnership paid state withholding
taxes of $12,000 for non-resident limited partners. This payment is
reflected as a distribution to the Limited Partners. See also "Item 6 -
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations".
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
This item should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report.
Results of Operations
The Partnership realized net income of $491,000 for the year ended December 31,
1997, compared to net income of $2,842,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The decrease in net income is due primarily to the foreclosure of the Mountain
Plaza property during the third quarter of 1996. This foreclosure resulted in
an extraordinary gain on foreclosure in 1996 of $1,149,000, as well as a gain
recorded to increase the carrying value of Mountain Plaza assets to their
estimated market value of $1,820,000 (see "Note E" in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).
Total revenues and expenses decreased primarily due to the foreclosure of
Mountain Plaza Apartments. Rental income for the remaining properties increased
primarily as a result of an increase in rental rates. Other income decreased
due to the foreclosure of Mountain Plaza and due to a decrease in interest
income. Interest income decreased as a result of lower average cash balances in
1997 compared to 1996. Depreciation expense decreased due to certain assets at
the remaining properties becoming fully depreciated in 1996. Interest expense
decreased due to the refinancing of the Ventura Landing note payable in 1996
which resulted in a lower interest rate and principal balance. This decrease was
partially offset by a new mortgage at Village Green (see "Note F" in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements). The property taxes decreased due to the
payoff of a 1990 tax liability in 1996, of which approximately $45,000 was
unaccrued, in order to secure the new note payable at Village Green. General and
administrative expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared
to the year ended December 31, 1996, due to a decrease in professional fees and
expense reimbursements.
With respect to the remaining properties, operating expenses also decreased due
to a reduction in maintenance costs primarily due to a painting project
completed during 1996 at Ventura Landing. Included in maintenance expense for
the year ended December 31, 1997 is approximately $102,000 of major repairs and
maintenance comprised primarily of exterior building, tennis court, and parking
lot repairs. For the year ended December 31, 1996, approximately $222,000 of
major repairs and maintenance, comprised primarily of interior and exterior
building repairs, were included in maintenance expense.
As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner
monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment properties to
assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy
levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of
this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the
burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and
maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market
conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental
reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the
General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of
$2,038,000 compared to $3,603,000 at December 31, 1996. The net decrease in
cash and cash equivalents for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $1,565,000
compared to a net increase of $749,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to the
foreclosure of Mountain Plaza in 1996. During the year ended December 31, 1996,
the property had negative operating cash flow of approximately $79,000. Also
contributing to the increase in cash provided by operating activities was an
increase in rental income at the remaining properties and a decrease in cash
used for accounts payable due to the timing of payments. Net cash used in
investing activities decreased due to increased receipts from and fewer deposits
to restricted escrows as a result of the completion of capital projects required
by the 1996 refinancing. This decrease was partially offset by increased
property improvements and replacements. Net cash used in financing activities
increased primarily due to higher distributions to the partners in 1997 than in
1996. In addition, included in net cash provided by financing activities in 1996
were net proceeds received from the mortgage refinancings.
The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the various properties to adequately maintain the
physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. Such assets are
currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.
The mortgage indebtedness of $4,200,000 matures November 1, 2003 with balloon
payments due at maturity, at which time the properties will either be refinanced
or sold. Distributions of approximately $2,262,000 and $380,000 were made to
the partners during 1997 and 1996, respectively. Future cash distributions will
depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, capital expenditure
requirements, property sales and the availability of cash reserves.
Year 2000
The Partnership is dependent upon the General Partner and Insignia for
management and administrative services. Insignia has completed an assessment
and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter (the "Year 2000 Issue"). The project is estimated to be completed
not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on
its operating systems. The General Partner believes that with modifications
to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will
not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However,
if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed
timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of
the Partnership.

The Partners
Consolidated Capital Properties III
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Consolidated
Capital Properties III as of December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in partners' capital (deficit) and cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by the Partnership's management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Consolidated Capital Properties III at December 31, 1997, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITAL PROPERTIES III
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Consolidated Capital Properties III, a California limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed on May 22, 1980, to acquire and operate commercial and
residential properties. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owns three
residential properties and one commercial property located in or near major urban
areas in the United States.
At the time of the Partnership's formation, Consolidated Capital Equities
Corporation ("CCEC"), a Colorado corporation, was the corporate general partner
and Consolidated Capital Management Company ("CCMC"), a California general
partnership, was the non-corporate general partner. In 1988, through a series of
transactions, Southmark Corporation ("Southmark") acquired controlling interest
in CCEC. In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. As part of CCEC's reorganization plan, ConCap
Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner" or "CEI") acquired CCEC's general partner
interests in the Partnership and in 15 other affiliated public limited
partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships") and CEI replaced CCEC as managing
general partner in all 16 partnerships. As part of the solicitation for approval
of CEI as general partner, the limited partners also approved the conversion of
CCMC from a general partner to a limited partner, thereby leaving CEI as the sole
general partner of the Partnership.
All of CEI's outstanding stock is owned by GII Realty, Inc. In December 1994,
the parent of GII Realty, Inc., entered into a transaction (the "Insignia
Transaction") in which an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia") acquired an option (exercisable in whole or in part from time to
time) to purchase all of the stock of GII Realty, Inc. and, pursuant to a partial
exercise of such option, acquired 50.5% of that stock. As part of the Insignia
Transaction, the Insignia affiliate also acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Partnership Services, Inc., an asset management entity, and an Insignia affiliate
acquired all of the outstanding stock of Coventry Properties, Inc., a property
management entity. In addition, confidentiality, non-competition, and standstill
arrangements were entered into between certain of the parties. Those
arrangements, among other things, prohibit GII Realty's former sole
shareholder from purchasing Partnership Units for a period of three years. On
October 24, 1995, the Insignia affiliate exercised the remaining portion of its
option to purchase all of the remaining outstanding stock of GII Realty, Inc. At
December 31, 1997, Insignia and affiliates own a total of 39,644 Units of the
Partnership.
Consolidation
The Partnership's financial statements include the accounts of ConCap Mountain
Plaza Associates, Ltd. (which was dissolved in 1996, see "Note E") and ConCap
Village Green Associates, Ltd. The Partnership owns a 99% interest in each of
the partnerships, and it has the ability to control the major operating and
financial policies of these partnerships. All intercompany transactions have
been eliminated.
Investment Properties
Investment properties are stated at cost. Acquisition fees are capitalized as a
cost of real estate. In accordance with "Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", the Partnership records impairment
losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances
indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of
those assets.
Depreciation
Buildings and improvements are depreciated on the straight-line basis over an
estimated useful life of 3 to 19 years. Tenant improvements are depreciated
over the term of the lease.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity, when
purchased, of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At certain times,
the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits.
Tenant Security Deposits
The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the
lease and such deposits are included in receivables and deposits. The security
deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not
damaged its space and is current on its rental payments.
Restricted Escrows:
Capital Improvement Reserve - As a result of the refinancing of Ventura
Landing Apartments and Village Green Apartments in 1996, the properties
deposited approximately $216,000 with the mortgage company to establish a
Capital Reserve designated for certain capital improvements. At December 31,
1997, this reserve totaled approximately $61,000.
Replacement Reserve - As a result of the 1996 refinancing, each property will
make monthly deposits to establish and maintain a Replacement Reserve
designated for repairs and replacements at the properties. At December 31,
1997, this reserve totaled approximately $45,000.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
"SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", as
amended by "SFAS No. 119, Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and
Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the
balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value
is defined in the SFAS as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or
liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its
financial instruments (except for long term debt) approximates their fair value
due to the short term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the
Partnership's long term debt, after discounting the scheduled loan payments to
maturity, approximates its carrying balance.
Lease Commissions
Lease commissions are capitalized and are amortized using the straight-line
method over the terms of the applicable leases. Unamortized lease commissions
of approximately $56,000 are included in other assets at December 31, 1997.
Loan Costs
Loan costs are capitalized and are amortized by the straight-line method as
interest expense over the terms of the related notes. Unamortized loan costs of
approximately $179,000 are included in other assets at December 31, 1997.
Rental Income
The Partnership leases its residential property under short-term operating
leases. Lease terms are generally one year or less in duration. The Partnership
expects that in the normal course of business these leases will be renewed or
replaced by other leases. Commercial property leases vary from one to five
years.
Income Taxes
No provision has been made in the financial statements for Federal income taxes.
Under current law, no Federal income taxes are paid directly by the Partnership,
however, the Partners are responsible for their respective shares of Partnership
net income or loss. The Partnership reports certain transactions differently
for tax than for financial statement purposes.
Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss
The Partnership Agreement provides for net income and net losses for both
financial and tax reporting purposes to be allocated 96% to the Limited Partners
and 4% to the General Partner.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs of approximately $48,000 in 1997 and $60,000 in 1996 were
charged to expense as incurred and are included in operating expenses.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 information to conform to
the 1997 presentation.
NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES
The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities.
The Limited Partnership Agreement ("Partnership Agreement") provides for
payments to affiliates for property management services based on a percentage of
revenue; for a partnership management fee equal to 9% of the total distributions
made to the limited partners from cash flow from operations and for
reimbursements of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the
Partnership. The following payments were paid to affiliates of the General
Partner during each of the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
(in thousands):
1997 1996
Property management fees (included in
operating expenses) $181 $207
Reimbursement for services of affiliates
including $4,000 and $10,000 of
construction service reimbursements in
1997 and 1996, respectively (included in
operating and general and administrative
expenses) 153 205
Partnership management fees (included in
general and administrative expenses) 38 32
Additionally, the Partnership paid approximately $42,000 and $33,000 during the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, to an affiliate of the
General Partner for lease commissions at the Partnership's commercial
property. These lease commissions are included in other assets and are amortized
over the terms of the respective leases. The Partnership also paid approximately
$5,000 and $34,000 during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, to affiliates of Insignia for reimbursements of costs related to
the loan refinancings in November of 1996. These costs were capitalized as loan
costs and are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans.
For the period of January 1, 1996, to August 31, 1997, the Partnership insured
its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated
with the General Partner. An affiliate of the General Partner acquired, in the
acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance
agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the master policy. The
agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the General Partner
who received payments on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the
Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the
General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.
NOTE C - COMMITMENT
The Partnership modified its Partnership Agreement during 1995 to eliminate the
requirement that the Partnership maintain reserves equal to at least 5% of
invested capital as defined in the Partnership Agreement. Reserves, including
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,038,000 at December 31, 1997, were
deemed to be sufficient by the General Partner to fund the Partnership's
liquidity requirements in 1997.
NOTE D - DISTRIBUTIONS
In September of 1997, the Partnership paid distributions totaling approximately
$1,112,000 to the partners, of which approximately $435,000 was attributable to
cash flow from operations and $677,000 represented a return of capital. In
April of 1997, the Partnership paid distributions to the partners representing a
return of capital totaling approximately $1,150,000.
In September of 1996, the Partnership paid distributions attributable to cash
flow from operations, totaling approximately $368,000 to the partners. In April
of 1996, the Partnership paid state withholding taxes of $12,000 for
non-resident limited partners. This payment is reflected as a distribution to
the Limited Partners.
NOTE E - FORECLOSURE OF MOUNTAIN PLAZA APARTMENTS
On September 3, 1996, the lender foreclosed on Mountain Plaza Apartments. The
mortgage note payable had been in default since May 13, 1996. In the General
Partner's opinion, it was not in the Partnership's best interest to contest the
foreclosure action. During the third quarter of 1996, the Partnership recorded
a gain on the disposition of property of $1,820,000, to increase the carrying
value of the Mountain Plaza assets to their estimated market value and an
extraordinary gain on the foreclosure of $1,149,000.
The following noncash investing and financing amounts were recorded in the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996 (in
thousands):
Net real estate (a) $ (544)
Net other liabilities 54
(490)
Debt discharged (b) 3,459
Total gain $ 2,969
Gain on disposition of real estate (c) $ 1,820
Extraordinary gain on foreclosure (d) 1,149
$ 2,969
(a) Amount is net of accumulated depreciation of approximately $4,400,000.
(b) Amount includes accrued interest.
(c) The gain on disposition of real estate represents the difference between
the carrying value of the real estate and the estimated fair value of
the property at disposition. The gain is included in "Gain on
disposition of property" in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
(d) The gain on extinguishment of debt represents the difference between the
estimated fair value of the property at foreclosure and the amount of
debt, including accrued interest, extinguished. The gain is reflected
as an extraordinary item in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
The 1996 results of operations for Mountain Plaza Apartments are summarized in
the following table (in thousands):
For the Period
From January 1 to
September 3, 1996

NOTE F - MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

Village Green Apartments 2,000 12 7.33% 11/03 2,000
Totals $4,200 $ 25 $4,200
</TABLE>
During the second quarter of 1996, the Partnership entered into an interim
financing arrangement for both Ventura Landing and Village Green for $2,200,000
and $2,000,000, respectively. The previous Ventura Landing note of $3,200,000
was repaid at that time. The interest rate was 250 basis points over the 30-day
LIBOR, resulting in a total note rate of 8.00%. The loans matured on August 1,
1996, with a 60-day extension option. The Partnership exercised this option to
convert the interim loans to fixed rate amortizing loans with an interest rate
equal to the Treasury Rate, as defined in the financing agreement, plus 2.15%.
Such converted loans would mature in ten years with monthly payments of
principal and interest based on a schedule which would fully amortize the loans
over a thirty year term. The Partnership, however, continued seeking
alternative long-term financing to obtain a lower interest rate. In November of
1996, these two properties obtained long-term refinancing. Proceeds from this
transaction totaled $4,200,000. The debt accrues interest at a rate of 7.33%
per year, matures on November 1, 2003, and requires balloon payments at maturity
for the full principal amount. Throughout the mortgage term, interest only
payments are made. As a result of the refinancings, the Partnership spent
approximately $20,000 and $201,000 on loan costs during the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The mortgage notes payable are nonrecourse and are secured by pledge of the
Partnership's properties and by pledge of revenues from the respective rental
properties.
NOTE G - OPERATING LEASES
The Partnership leases its residential properties under short-term operating
leases. Lease terms are generally one year or less in duration. The Partnership
expects that in the normal course of business these leases will be renewed or
replaced by other leases. Commercial office property leases vary from one to
five years. The future minimum rental payments at the Partnership's commercial
property to be received under operating leases that have initial or remaining
noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 1997, are as
follows (in thousands):
1998 $ 664
1999 525
2000 287
2001 63
2002 23
$1,562
For leases with scheduled rental increases, rental income is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the life of the applicable leases. There is no
assurance that this income will continue at the same level when the leases
expire.
NOTE H - LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS
In 1996, the number of Limited Partnership Units decreased by 54 units due to
limited partners abandoning their units. In abandoning his or her Limited
Partnership Units, a limited partner relinquishes all right, title and interest
in the Partnership as of the date of abandonment. However, during the year of
abandonment, the Limited Partner will still be allocated his or her share of the
income or loss for that entire year. The loss per limited partnership unit in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is calculated based on
the number of units outstanding at the beginning of the year.
NOTE I - PARTNER TAX INFORMATION
The following is a reconciliation between net income as reported in the

The Limited Partnership Agreement ("Partnership Agreement") provides for
payments to affiliates for property management services based on a percentage of
revenue; for a partnership management fee equal to 9% of the total distributions
made to the limited partners from cash flow from operations and for
reimbursements of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the

Additionally, the Partnership paid $42,000 and $33,000 during the years ended

for lease commissions at the Partnership's commercial property. These lease
commissions are included in other assets and are amortized over the terms of the
respective leases. The Partnership also paid approximately $5,000 and $34,000

acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance
agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the master policy. The
agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the General Partner
who received payments on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the
Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the
General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.
