PART I-FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership liquidity is adequate and distributions to Limited Partners
are currently $120,000.00 per quarter. This rate of distributions is planned to
continue as reserves increase. There is no current intention to increase the
distributions until the Partnership has paid all of its outstanding debts.
Results of Operations
The Partnership continued to operate at a break-even rate in the third
quarter 1997. This result is not indicative of the results for the entire fiscal
year, due to the seasonal nature of the almond growing business. Almonds are
harvested in August through October and the crop revenues and expenses are
recognized at that time. Since the partnership's crop care has not been
completed for this growing season, it is not possible to say if cultural costs
will be higher or lower than last year's costs. At this time though, it seems
that cultural costs will be substantially the same as last year.
The 1997 California almond crop is expected to be at a near record level.
This will have an effect of the prices received for the Partnership almond crop,
but it is too early to assess the effect.
