SPRINGHILL LAKE INVESTORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Springhill Lake
Investors Limited Partnership (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 Three Winthrop Properties, Inc. (the
"General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1998. 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, 1997.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 balances to conform to the
1998 presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and the Operating Partnerships. Theodore N. Lerner's ownership in
the Operating Partnerships has been reflected as a minority interest in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
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 and an annual asset management fee of $100,000 and annual administration
fee of $10,000.
On October 28, 1997, Insignia Financial Group ("Insignia") acquired 100% of the
Class B stock of First Winthrop Corporation ("FWC"), the sole shareholder of the
Partnership's General Partner. In connection with this transaction, a nominee
of Insignia was elected as a director of the General Partner and has been
appointed to the board of directors of the General Partner. The nominee has the
authority to appoint members to a newly created residential committee of the
board of directors of the General Partner (the "Residential Committee"). The
Residential Committee is generally authorized to act on behalf of the General
Partner in managing the business activities of the Partnership. On October 28,
1997, the Partnership terminated Winthrop Management as the managing agent, and
appointed an affiliate of Insignia to assume management of the property. The
General Partner does not believe this transaction will have a material effect on
the affairs and operations of the Partnership. The following fees and
reimbursements were paid to affiliates of Insignia, FWC, and affiliates of FWC
during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 (in thousands):
1998 1997
Property management fees (included in
operating expenses) $182 $175
Partnership and asset management fees
(included in general and administrative
expenses) 73 64
On March 17, 1998, Insignia entered into an agreement to merge its national
residential property management operations, and its controlling interest in
Insignia Properties Trust, with Apartment Investment and Management Company
("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The closing, which
is anticipated to happen in the third quarter of 1998, is subject to customary
conditions, including government approvals and the approval of Insignia's
shareholders. If the closing occurs, AIMCO will then control the General
Partner of the Partnership.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Partnership's investment property consists of apartment and townhouse units
and an eight store shopping center. The following table sets forth the average
occupancy of the property for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997:
Average Occupancy
1998 1997
Springhill Lake Apartments 93% 94%
Greenbelt, Maryland
The Partnership realized net income of approximately $151,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to a net loss of approximately $91,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in net income is primarily
due to an increase in rental income and the recognition of a casualty gain, for
the three months ended March 31, 1998.
The increase in rental income is due to an increase in average rental rates at
Springhill Lake Apartments, despite a slight decrease in occupancy. Other
income decreased due to less purchases by tenants of apartment amenities offered
by the leasing office.
A casualty gain of approximately $168,000 has been recognized at March 31, 1998
as a result of three separate fires at Springhill Lake Apartments which occurred
late in 1997. As a result of these incidents, one building was extensively
damaged and two apartment units were completely destroyed. The estimated costs
to be incurred to rebuild the destroyed units approximates the estimated
insurance proceeds expected to be received.
While operating expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1998, bad
debt expense increased. Operating expense decreased due to a milder winter
during the first three months of 1998, as compared to the first three months of
1997, resulting in decreased utilities and fuel oil purchases. Also
contributing to the decrease in operating expense was a decrease in salaries
expense, advertising expense and repairs and maintenance expense. Bad debt
expense results from the write-off of tenant accounts receivable that were
deemed uncollectible.
Included in operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is
approximately $27,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of
exterior painting, exterior building improvements, and major landscaping.
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.
At March 31, 1998, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $2,965,000 compared to approximately $1,093,000 at March 31, 1997.
Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $579,000 and $119,000 for the
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net cash provided by
operating activities increased primarily due to an increase in net income, as
discussed above. Net cash used in investing activities decreased as a result of
the receipt of insurance proceeds from the casualty discussed above. Net cash
used in financing activities increased due to an increase in principal payments
on the mortgage note payable.
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 investment 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 $58,158,000, which carries a stated interest rate
of 9.30%, matures in May 2003, at which time the debt will either be refinanced
or the property sold. No cash distributions were declared or paid during the
three months ended March 31, 1998 or March 31, 1997. 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.
