Item 5. Other Items
As was previously reported in the Form 8-K filed with the Commission on December
23, 1996, the Partnership has received notice that Philip Crosby Associates,
Inc. (Crosby) does not intend to pay full rental due under its lease from and
after January 1997. Crosby leases the majority of the space in University
Business Center Phase II. The business center is owned by the
Lakeshore/University II Joint Venture of which the Partnership has an 18%
interest.
The Joint Venture will pursue legal resolution of this situation and will seek
to place new tenants in the space as quickly as possible. At this time, the
future leasing and tenant finish costs which will be required to obtain new
tenants are unknown.
In order to conserve cash, the following actions will be taken by the
Partnership. First, the repurchase of Partnership Units will be interrupted.
Second, effective December 30, 1996, distributions will be suspended. These
steps will be taken until it is clear that, in the general partner's opinion,
the Partnership has the necessary cash reserves to meet future leasing and
tenant finish costs and has rebuilt cash reserves to meet the ongoing needs of
the Partnership.
