ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On December 15, 1995, Banyan Strategic Realty Trust (the "Trust") modified its
line of credit (the "Modified Line") with American National Bank (the "Bank").
The line of credit was originally established on December 13, 1994 (the
"Original Line"). Under the Modified Line the Trust may borrow up to
$30,000,000, an increase of $15,000,000 when compared to the Original Line.
In addition, the availability of the line was extended from December 14, 1996
to December 14, 1997. The Trust provided the Bank additional collateral, in
order to increase the cash available for borrowing pursuant to the Modified
Line, mortgages on its Florida Power and Light Building, Newton Distribution
Center and Lexington Business Center as well as pledges of the Trust's
subsidiaries stock or partnership interest in the entities owning said
properties. The Trust had previously pledged its ownership interest in the
entities owning the Colonial Penn Office Building, Colonial Courts Apartments,
Hallmark Village Apartments and Karfad Loan Portfolio as well as providing
mortgage liens against said properties as collateral per the terms of the
Original Line. The Trust also paid a loan fee upon execution of the Modified
Line in the amount of $75,000, or .5% of the increase in the Original Line.
As further consideration for the additional collateral pledged by the Trust,
the Bank reduced the loan-to-value requirements under the Modified Line to 60%
of the fair market value of the collateral and reduced the cash reserve
requirement of the Trust from $3,000,000 to $2,000,000. All other terms as
provided for under the Original Line remain unchanged. The Modified Line
remains subject to review for renewal on an annual basis. The purpose of the
Modified Line is to provide the Trust with an additional source of cash
proceeds for the acquisition or redevelopment of income-producing properties
and general corporate needs. In addition, the Trust is required to pay the
Bank an unused facility fee of .5% per annum multiplied by the average portion
of the Modified Line that is undrawn from time-to-time. The facility fee is
required to be determined and payable monthly on a non-cumulative basis. As
of December 31, 1995, the Trust had utilized $25,750,000 of $30,000,000
available under the Modified Line. Of the $25,750,000, approximately
$5,650,000 has been utilized in conjunction with to the Bank's issuance of a
letter of credit which serves as collateral for the Trust's tax-exempt bond
financing in the amount of $5,500,000 on its Colonial Courts Apartments
property. Of the remaining $20,100,000 in cash proceeds drawn under the
Modified Line, $8,900,000 and $11,200,000 has been utilized by the Trust for
its acquisition of the Lexington Business Center/Newtown Distribution Center
and the Woodcrest Office Park, respectively. Draws under the Modified Line
require monthly payment of interest only until its maturity and currently
bears interest at a blend of thirty, ninety and one hundred and twenty-day
Libor rates plus 2.25% or approximately 8% to 8.5% per annum. The Trust
anticipates obtaining permanent long-term third party financing within the
next 12 months for its various property interests and utilizing these
financing proceeds to repay amounts drawn under the Modified Line.
