Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary source of liquidity has been
funds from operations, proceeds from the initial capitalization,
and the exercise of warrants in 1986 and 1987. With the
completion of the 1987 warrant offering, the Partnership is
fully capitalized. Future capital requirements are expected
to be primarily provided by operations.
On November 10, 1986, the Partnership obtained a new loan of
$12,750,000 from an institutional third-party lender. The
note bears interest at a variable rate of 225 basis points
over the 11th District Federal Home Loan Bank cost of funds,
with a floor of 10%.
In May 1992, the Partnership completed a modification of the
payment terms of the loan for a one year period commencing with
the payment due January 1, 1992. Under the terms of the
modification, monthly interest only payments were made at the
reduced rate of 5%, with the difference between interest at the
full rate and the reduced payment rate added to the principal
amount of the loan. In addition, payments for property taxes
were impounded by the lender on a monthly basis. After the end
of the modification period, the partnership made partial monthly
payments until April 6, 1993 when payment in full of past due
amounts was made and the loan reverted to its unmodified terms.
In May 1994, the Partnership completed a second modification of
the loan payment terms for a one year period commencing on
November 1, 1993. Under the terms of the second modification,
monthly interest only payments were paid at the reduced rate of
9%, with the difference between interest at the full rate of 10%
and the reduced payment rate added to the principal amount of the
loan. In addition, payments for property taxes were impounded by
the lender on a monthly basis. In March 1995, the modification
was extended for a one year period commencing on November 1, 1994.
Starting with the payment due on November 1, 1995, the modification
expired and monthly payments at the full rate of 10% per annum
plus principal amortization were required under the original terms
of the note. However, the lender continued to bill the Partnership
under the terms of the modification and the Partnership paid the
amounts as billed. The Partnership contacted the lender in
September 1996 to initiate negotiations to resolve the billing
disparity which had accumulated to $281,000 and the problems of the
property taxes due starting in September 1996 and the deferred
maintenance of the property. In November 1996, the Partnership
and the lender entered into a forbearance agreement under which
the Partnership agreed to make full monthly payments of $124,031
beginning November 1, 1996 and the lender agreed to forestall
any foreclosure proceedings while negotiations continued.
In December 1996, the lender agreed to accept $11,800,000 as
payment in full on its loan under the conditions, among others,
that payment be received before April 15, 1997, that the property
taxes be paid, and that the loan be purchased by a third party
independent of the Partnership. The purchase price was reduced
by the principal portion of the monthly payments made from
January 1, 1997 through the purchase date. The property taxes
were paid by the Partnership in December 1996.
On February 28, 1997, the Partnership completed the refinancing
of the property and paid off the existing loan which had a
balance at closing of $13,245,725 with a cash payment of
$11,767,496 for a gain of $1,481,229. The Partnership paid a
fee of $50,000 to a third party to purchase the existing loan
from the lender and subsequently sell the loan to the Partnership
and a fee of $25,213 to a consultant for assistance in making the
initial contact with the appropriate lender representative. In
addition, the partnership paid a fee of $140,602 to the general
partner, LMH Realty, Inc., equal to 10% of the net gain of
$1,406,016 for success in the negotiating of the loan discount
and arranging the third party purchase of the loan. The
Partnership will recognize the remaining gain of $1,265,414 in 1997.
The loan was purchased and the refinancing completed with funds
from a new loan to the Partnership of $14,000,000 at 8.20% per
annum maturing on March 1, 2007 with monthly principal and
interest payments of $104,686. The Partnership paid fees to the
lender and loan broker of $280,000, loan costs, title insurance,
transfer taxes and recording fees of $50,996, and estimated
legal fees of $25,000. The new loan provided for reserves for
the initial two monthly payments, property taxes and insurance.
In addition, the new lender held a reserve of $493,000 for
deferred property maintenance items. After the payment
of $11,767,496 to the prior lender, the Partnership received
net proceeds from the refinancing of $1,316,015.
In September 1997, the Partnership completed the pay off of
advances due to an affiliate of the general partner of $664,596
plus accrued interest of $430,295.
As of the date of this Report, the Partnership does not foresee
any trends, demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties which
are reasonably likely to result in a material increase or decrease
in the Partnership's liquidity.

Results of Operations
Rental income decreased by $105,794, or 4.3%, to $2,334,826 in the
first nine months of 1998 compared with $2,440,620 in the comparable
quarter of 1997. This decrease was caused by several factors,
including lower occupancy related to a change in terms of
tenancy wherein all tenants are now responsible for an
allocation of gas utility costs.
Another factor in the decreased rental revenue was the disruption
to the property caused by the County's widening of the street
leading to the property. This street improvement, which was
completed in February 1998, will be a benefit in the long run
by improving access to the property with the installation of a
traffic signal and greater visibility for the property signage.
Rental delinquencies increased starting in the third quarter
of 1997 as a result of a slowdown by the County Sheriff in
processing evictions in the entire area which also had a
negative impact on rental revenue. The Sheriff has caught
up on the backlog and evictions in March 1998 are now processed
on the normal timetable. Rental delinquencies have started
to decline in 1998.
A substantial increase in billing for water consumption has
more than offset the savings in gas utility costs. The water
billings are currently being contested with the utility company.
The utility expense for the period reflects the full amount billed
by the water utility company.
In 1995, the county enacted a solid waste service charge on property
tax bills. However the county did not bill the charge for 1996,
1997, and 1998 until May 1998. The property tax expense reflects
this three year charge of $81,530 that was paid in July 1998. An
affiliate of the general partner advanced $80,000 to the Partnership
to provide the funds for payment of these property tax bills.
Interest expense declined in 1998 from 1997 as a result of the
lower interest rate on the partnership's new financing which
was obtained on February 28, 1997 and the payment of the
advances due to an affiliate of the general partner in
September 1997. Amortization expense includes the expense
of writing off the remaining balance of loan fees originating
from the partnership's prior financing.
As a part of the financing, funds were provided for the
rehabilitation of the property. Work was initiated on this
project during the second quarter of 1997, including street,
driveway, and parking lot pavement, additional parking spaces,
concrete and brick repairs, hallway carpeting and painting,
and gutter and downspout repairs. This phase of the property
rehabilitation was substantially completed by the end of 1997.
