NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements 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 NPI Equity Investments, Inc. ("NPI Equity" or the "Managing
General Partner"), a Florida corporation, 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, 1997,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in National Property
Investors 8's (the "Partnership") annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1996.
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 Managing General
Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all
partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to
affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by
affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed during the first half of 1996,
affiliates of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") acquired all of the
issued and outstanding shares of stock of NPI Equity and National Property
Investors, Inc. ("NPI"). NPI Equity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NPI. In
connection with these transactions, affiliates of Insignia appointed new
officers and directors of NPI Equity.
The following transactions with Insignia, NPI and affiliates were charged to
expense in 1997 and 1996:
For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
(in thousands)
1997 1996
Property management fees (included in operating
expenses) $ 49 $ 53
Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included
in general and administrative expenses) 29 60
The Partnership insures its properties under a master policy through an agency
and insurer unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner. An affiliate of the
Managing 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 current year's master policy. The current agent assumed
the financial obligations to the affiliate of the Managing 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
Managing General Partner, by virtue of the agent's obligations, is not
significant.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The Partnership's investment properties consist of two apartment complexes. The
following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996:
Average
Occupancy
Property 1997 1996
Williamsburg on the Lake Apartments
Indianapolis, Indiana (1) 85% 92%
Huntington Athletic Club Apartments
Morrisville, North Carolina 91% 92%
1)The Managing General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at the
Williamsburg on the Lake Apartments property to increasing qualifying
standards for residents and an overall decrease in occupancy in the
Indianapolis market.
The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was
$24,000 versus $46,000 for the comparable period of 1996. The decrease in net
loss is primarily due to an increase in other income and decreases in general
and administrative expenses. Other income increased due to increases in
interest income and lease cancellation fees. General and administrative
expenses decreased due primarily to non-recurring expenses, which were incurred
in the first quarter of 1996, relating to the relocation of the partnership
administration offices.
Included in maintenance expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997, is
$17,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised of major landscaping and
small equipment purchases. Included in maintenance expense for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, is $10,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised of
exterior and interior building improvements.
As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment 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 Managing 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
Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.
At March 31, 1997, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $2,218,000, as
compared to $2,689,000 at March 31, 1996. Net cash provided by operating
activities increased primarily as a result of a decrease in other assets. This
was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Other assets decreased due to a decrease in escrow accounts, as reserves
required by HUD are no longer necessary after the refinancing of the mortgage
secured by the Williamsburg on the Lake Apartments property (see discussion
below). Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased due to the timing of
payments of accrued expenses. Net cash used in investing activities increased
due primarily to the construction of a new recreation center at the Williamsburg
on the Lake Apartments property. Net cash used in financing activities
decreased due to the refinancing of the mortgage debt secured by the
Williamsburg on the Lake Apartments property (see discussion below).
In November 1996, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage debt secured by the
Williamsburg on the Lake Apartments property from a HUD insured loan, which
required principal and interest payments, to a conventional loan, which requires
interest only payments.
The Managing General Partner has extended to the Partnership a $500,000 line of
credit. At the present time, the Partnership has no outstanding amounts due
under this line of credit. Based on present plans, the Managing General Partner
does not anticipate the need to borrow against the line of credit in the near
future. Other than cash and cash equivalents, the line of credit is the
Partnership's only unused source of liquidity.
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 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 $10,969,000 is amortized over varying periods. The
mortgage encumbering the Huntington Athletic Club Apartments property requires a
balloon payment of $3,211,000 in February 2002. The mortgage encumbering the
Williamsburg on the Lake Apartments property is interest only with the principal
balance of $7,400,000 due November 2003. Future cash distributions will depend
on the levels of cash generated from operations, property sales, and the
availability of cash reserves. The Managing General Partner is evaluating the
economic position of the Partnership and the Partnership's ability to make a
distribution. No cash distributions were paid during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 or March 31, 1996.
