MCCOMBS REALTY PARTNERS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A - Going Concern
Under the Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"; see "Note C" below) McCombs Realty
Partners (the "Partnership" or "Registrant"), a California limited partnership,
was required to pay claims to limited partners and creditors of approximately
$11,000,000 on October 20, 1998. These claims have not been paid as of June 30,
2000. This raises substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue
as a going concern. In order to attempt to satisfy the remaining claims under
the Plan, the Partnership would be required to sell the investment property. As
an alternative to the sale of the property, the Partnership could attempt to
obtain authorization from the Court and the limited partners to extend the
settlement date of October 20, 1998, to a future period. The limited partners
were approached in August 1998 and asked to either approve a sale of the
Partnership's sole investment property or for CRPTEX, Inc. ("the General
Partner") to petition the Bankruptcy Court for an extension of the settlement
date. The required fifty-one percent response was not received. As a result, the
Partnership defaulted on its obligations which were due on October 20, 1998. The
General Partner continues to operate the Partnership's business in the ordinary
course while it evaluates the best course of action to follow. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Note B - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Partnership
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the General Partner, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 for the Partnership.
Principles of Consolidation:
The Partnership's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Pelham Place, L.P., a South Carolina limited partnership. Pelham Place, L.P. is
the limited partnership which holds title to Lakewood at Pelham (formerly known
as Pelham Place Apartments). Pelham Place, L.P. is wholly-owned by the
Partnership. All interpartnership transactions have been eliminated.
Change in Accounting Principle:
Effective January 1, 1999, the Partnership changed its method of accounting to
capitalize the cost of exterior painting and major landscaping. The Partnership
believes that this accounting principle change is preferable because it provides
a better matching of expenses with the related benefit of the expenditures and
it is consistent with industry practice and the policies of the General Partner.
This accounting change was first reported during the fourth quarter of 1999.
Accordingly, net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 has
been restated to reflect the accounting change as if it were reported then. This
adjustment decreased net income before the cumulative effect of the accounting
change for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 by approximately $4,000
($0.23 per limited partnership unit) and $7,000 ($0.40 per limited partnership
unit), respectively. The cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $25,000
is the result of applying the aforementioned change in accounting principle
retroactively and is included in income for 1999. The accounting principle
change will not have an effect on cash flow, funds available for distribution or
fees payable to the General Partner and affiliates.
Note C - Plan of Reorganization
On March 9, 1987, the original general partners of the Partnership, on behalf of
the Partnership, filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District Court of California
("Court"). The Partnership continued as Debtor-In-Possession to operate its
business in the ordinary course subject to control of the Court until the Court
confirmed the Partnership's Plan effective October 25, 1988. The Plan was
approved by all required classes of creditors.
The Plan required that the Partnership make the following payments on October
20, 1998:
1) First, all existing creditors, except prebankruptcy Class 12 creditors
($23,100), would be satisfied;
2) Limited Partners, both original and substitute, who made additional capital
contributions under the plan would receive a repayment of the additional
contributions totaling approximately $730,000;
3) Class 12 creditors would be paid claims aggregating $23,100;
4) Limited Partners who made additional capital contributions and were
original Limited Partners would receive a repayment of their original
capital contributions totaling approximately $9,818,000;
5) Limited Partners who did not make additional capital contributions would
receive a repayment of one-third of their original capital contributions
(i.e., one-third of $1,200,000).
Additionally, the Plan required CRPTEX, Inc. to make a capital contribution of
$14,500 and loan or expend an additional $117,500 on behalf of the Partnership
on an as-needed basis. The Partnership received the $14,500 capital contribution
but has not required the additional $117,500.
The payments required by numbers 1 and 3 above were timely satisfied. In
addition, all other claims provided for in the Plan then outstanding were
settled on June 25, 1995 when the Partnership refinanced the then outstanding
mortgages encumbering the property. However, the Partnership was unable to
satisfy the amounts due to the limited partners indicated in numbers 2, 4, and 5
above and is in default on these obligations.
<PAGE>
Note D - Transfer of Control
Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and
February 26, 1999, Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia Properties Trust
merged into Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly
traded real estate investment trust, with AIMCO being the surviving corporation.
As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership interest in the General Partner. The
General Partner does not believe that this transaction has had or will have a
material effect on the affairs and operations of the Partnership.
Note E - 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 Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for
services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on
behalf of the Partnership. The following transactions with the General Partner
and its affiliates were incurred during each of the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999:
2000 1999
(in thousands)
Property management fees (included in operating expenses) $ 39 $ 38
Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included in
general and administrative expenses) 24 20
During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, affiliates of the General
Partner were entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership's
investment property as compensation for providing property management services.
The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $39,000 and $38,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Affiliates of the General Partner received reimbursements of accountable
administrative expenses amounting to approximately $24,000 and $20,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 794 limited partnership units in the
Partnership representing approximately 4.62% of the outstanding units. A number
of these units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its
affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will make one or more
additional offers to acquire additional limited partnership interests in the
Partnership for cash or in exchange for units in the operating partnership of
AIMCO. Under the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the
Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters. When
voting on matters, AIMCO would in all likelihood vote the Units it acquired in a
manner favorable to the interest of the General Partner because of their
affiliation with the General Partner.
Note F - Segment Information
Description of the types of products and services from which the reportable
segment derives its revenues: The Partnership has one reportable segment:
residential properties. The Partnership's residential segment consists of one
apartment complex located in Greenville, South Carolina. The Partnership rents
apartment units to tenants for terms that are typically twelve months or less.
Measurement of segment profit or loss: The Partnership evaluates performance
based on segment profit (loss) before depreciation. The accounting policies of
the reportable segment are the same as those of the Partnership as described in
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Segment information for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, is shown in the tables below. The "Other" column includes Partnership
administration related items and income and expense not allocated to the

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The matters discussed in this Form 10-QSB contain certain forward-looking
statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market
conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the
disclosures contained in this Form 10-QSB and the other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Partnership from time to time.
The discussions of the Partnership's business and results of operations,
including forward-looking statements pertaining to such matters, does not take
into account the effects of any changes to the Partnership's business and
results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of
factors, including those identified herein.
The Partnership's investment property consists of one apartment complex. The
following table sets forth the average occupancy of the property for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999:
Average Occupancy
Property 2000 1999
Lakewood at Pelham 97% 95%
Greenville, South Carolina
Results of Operations
The Partnership reported a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000, of
approximately $101,000 as compared to net income of approximately $20,000 for
the corresponding period in 1999. The Partnership reported a net loss for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, of approximately $74,000 as compared to net
income of approximately $9,000 for the corresponding period of 1999. The net
loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the net
income for the same periods of 1999 was primarily due to an increase in total
expenses, as well as the recognition in 1999 of the cumulative effect on prior
years of a change in accounting principle, which was partially offset by an
increase in total revenues. Total expenses for the three and six month periods
increased primarily due to increases in general and administrative expenses,
depreciation expense, and operating expenses. Depreciation expense increased due
to an increase in depreciable assets due to property improvements and
replacements completed in the last twelve months. Operating expense increased
primarily due to an increase in employee bonuses, and an increase in insurance
expense. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an
increase in professional expenses necessary to operate the Partnership. Included
in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999, are reimbursements to the General Partner allowed under the
Partnership Agreement associated with its management of the Partnership. In
addition, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with
investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the
Partnership Agreement are also included.
Total revenues for the three and six month periods increased due to an increase
in rental income, which was partially offset by a decrease in other income.
Rental income increased as a result of the improved occupancy at the property,
an increase in the average rental rate, as well as a decrease in concessions.
Other income decreased primarily due to decreases in corporate unit income and
tenant charges.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Partnership changed its method of accounting to
capitalize the cost of exterior painting and major landscaping. The Partnership
believes that this accounting principle change is preferable because it provides
a better matching of expenses with the related benefit of the expenditures and
it is consistent with industry practice and the policies of the General Partner.
This accounting change was first reported during the fourth quarter of 1999.
Accordingly, net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 has
been restated to reflect the accounting change as if it were reported then. This
adjustment decreased net income before the cumulative effect of the accounting
change for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 by approximately $4,000
($0.23 per limited partnership unit) and $7,000 ($0.40 per limited partnership
unit), respectively. The cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $25,000
is the result of applying the aforementioned change in accounting principle
retroactively and is included in income for 1999. The accounting principle
change will not have an effect on cash flow, funds available for distribution or
fees payable to the General Partner and affiliates.
As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner
monitors the rental market environment of its investment property 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
At June 30, 2000, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$483,000 as compared to approximately $347,000 at June 30, 1999. The net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents was approximately $110,000 from the year
ended December 31, 1999. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due to
approximately $169,000 of cash used in investing activities and approximately
$34,000 of cash used in financing activities partially offset by approximately
$93,000 of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing
activities consisted primarily of property improvements and replacements and, to
a lesser extent, net deposits to escrow accounts maintained by the mortgage
lender. Cash used in financing activities consisted of payments of principal
made on the mortgage encumbering the Partnership's investment property. The
Partnership invests its working capital reserves in a money market account.
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 property to adequately maintain the physical assets
and other operating needs of the Partnership including satisfaction of remaining
claims related to the Partnership's Plan of Reorganization, as described below,
and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements.
Capital improvements planned at the Partnership's investment property are
detailed below.
Approximately $88,000 has been budgeted for capital improvements at Lakewood at
Pelham for the year 2000, consisting primarily of carpet and vinyl replacement,
lighting upgrades, structural improvements, and appliance replacements. During
the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Partnership expended approximately
$64,000 of budgeted capital improvements at Lakewood at Pelham, consisting
primarily of carpet and vinyl replacement, appliance replacements, and
installing and painting handrails. Additional improvements may be considered and
will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement
reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
The additional capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available
from operations or from Partnership reserves. Partnership reserves are
sufficient to cover the estimated costs of the capital improvements planned for
the year 2000. However, the Partnership does not have sufficient assets to
fulfill its obligation under the Plan of Reorganization ("Plan") and in fact
defaulted on its obligations due October 20, 1998. See discussion below for
detail as to the Partnership's Plan with respect to meeting its short term needs
under the Plan. No distributions were declared or paid during either of the six
months ended June 30, 2000 or 1999, and none are expected in the future.
On March 9, 1987, the original general partners of the Partnership, on behalf of
the Partnership, filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California
("Court"). The Partnership continued as Debtor-In-Possession to operate its
business in the ordinary course until the Court confirmed the Partnership's Plan
effective October 25, 1988. The Plan was approved by all required classes of
creditors.
The Plan required that the Partnership make the following payments on October
20, 1998:
1) First, all existing creditors, except prebankruptcy Class 12 creditors
($23,100), would be satisfied;
2) Limited Partners, both original and substitute, who made additional capital
contributions under the plan would receive a repayment of the additional
contributions totaling approximately $730,000;
3) Class 12 creditors would be paid claims aggregating $23,100;
4) Limited Partners who made additional capital contributions and were
original Limited Partners would receive a repayment of their original
capital contributions totaling approximately $9,818,000;
5) Limited Partners who did not make additional capital contributions would
receive a repayment of one-third of their original capital contributions
(i.e., one-third of $1,200,000).
Additionally, the Plan required CRPTEX, Inc. to make a capital contribution of
$14,500 and loan or expend an additional $117,500 on behalf of the Partnership
on an as-needed basis. The Partnership received the $14,500 capital contribution
but has not required the additional $117,500.
The payments required by numbers 1 and 3 above were timely satisfied. In
addition, all other claims provided for in the Plan then outstanding were
settled on June 25, 1995 when the Partnership refinanced the then outstanding
mortgages encumbering the property. However, the Partnership was unable to
satisfy the amounts due to the limited partners indicated in numbers 2, 4, and 5
above and is in default on these obligations.
In order to satisfy these obligations, the Partnership would be required to sell
the investment property. As an alternative, the Partnership could seek
authorization from the Limited Partners to extend the payment date of October
20, 1998 to a future period. The limited partners were approached in August 1998
and asked to either approve a sale of the Partnership's sole investment property
or for the General Partner to petition the Bankruptcy Court for an extension of
the settlement date. The required fifty-one percent response was not received.
As a result, the Partnership defaulted on its obligations which were due on
October 20, 1998. The General Partner is continuing to see that the Partnership
operates its business in the ordinary course while it evaluates the best course
of action to follow. Additionally, the Partnership's mortgage indebtedness of
approximately $5,572,000 at June 30, 2000 matures in July 2005, and would
require a property sale or refinancing at that time. However, there can be no
assurance that these courses of action will be successful and that the
Partnership will have sufficient funds to meet its obligations in 2000 or
beyond.
