Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 1994
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements presented herein are prepared in conformity with
enerally accepted accounting principles and the instructions for preparing
Form 10-Q under Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and are unaudited. As such, these financial statements do not
include all information and footnote disclosures required under generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and,
accordingly, the accompanying financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the footnotes presented in the 1993 Annual Report. Except
as disclosed herein, there has been no material change to the information
presented in the footnotes to the 1993 Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and
recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial
position at September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 and results of operations
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 have
been made and are reflected.
NOTE 2 - CASH
The Partnership invests excess cash with large institutional banks in
reverse repurchase agreements with overnight securities. The reverse
repurchase agreements are secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U.S.
Government securities.
NOTE 3 - REVENUE RECOGNITION
Rents are payable to the Partnership monthly, quarterly or semi-annually
and no significant amounts are calculated on factors other than the passage of
time. The leases are accounted for as operating leases and are noncancellable.
Rents received prior to their due dates are deferred. Future minimum rents of
$1,722,352 are due as follows:
For the year ending September 30, 1995 $ 970,835
1996 488,352
1997 263,165
Total $ 1,722,352
The Managing General Partner lowered the aggregate amount reserved against
potentially uncollectable rents to $60,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1994. This caused an increase in lease revenue of $53,000 or
$0.05 per limited partnership unit. It cannot be determined whether the
Partnership will recover any past due rents in the future; however, the
Managing General Partner will pursue the collection of all such items.
During 1994, the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships, executed a
renewal lease agreement in connection with an MD-82 aircraft leased by
Northwest Airlines, Inc. ("Northwest"). Pursuant to the agreement, Northwest
will continue to lease the aircraft until July 31, 1997. The Partnership,
which owns a 16% interest in this aircraft, will receive an aggregate of
$962,529 in lease revenue during the thirty-eight month renewal period. Such
rents are included in the future minimum rents above.
NOTE 4 - EQUIPMENT
At September 30, 1994, the Partnership owned equipment with an original
cost of $16,320,739 as summarized below. In the opinion of American Finance
Group ("AFG"), the carrying value of the equipment does not exceed its fair
market value. The equipment is summarized as follows:
<TABLE>

Total equipment cost 16,320,739
Accumulated depreciation (10,910,014)
Equipment, net of accumulated depreciation $ 5,410,725
</TABLE>
The summary above includes equipment held for sale or re-lease which was
fully depreciated and had an original cost of approximately $276,000 at
September 30, 1994.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by AFG on
behalf of the Partnership and AFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such
expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during each of the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, which were paid or accrued by the
Partnership to AFG or its Affiliates, are as follows:
1994 1993
Equipment management fees $ 76,191 $ 79,971
Administrative charges 9,000 11,955
Reimbursable operating expenses
due to third parties 122,760 68,421
Total $ 207,951 $ 160,347
All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to
either AFG or to a lender. AFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a
separate interest bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the
Partnership. At September 30, 1994, the Partnership was owed $122,802 by AFG
for such funds and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the
Partnership in October 1994.
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
Notes payable at September 30, 1994 consisted of installment notes of
$237,226 payable to banks and institutional lenders. All of the installment
notes are non-recourse, with interest rates ranging between 6.25% and 10.3% and
are collateralized by the equipment and assignment of the related lease
payments. The installment notes will be fully amortized by noncancellable
rents. All of the outstanding notes are payable in the year ended
September 30, 1995.
NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 1991, a lessee of the Partnership, Healthcare Financial Services, Inc.
and Healthcare International, Inc., the guarantor of certain lease obligations
of Healthcare Financial Services, Inc., (collectively, the "Debtors") filed for
bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Partnership
and other AFG-sponsored programs filed a proof of claim in this case. The
affected equipment, having a cost of $116,689 and representing 1% of the
Partnership's aggregate equipment portfolio at September 30, 1994, was assumed
by a successor sub-lessee which has communicated interest in purchasing the
equipment. The Chapter 11 proceeding of the Debtors was dismissed on July 21,
1994. This bankruptcy is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
financial position of the Partnership.
In July 1993, Fred Meyer, Inc. (the "plaintiff"), in anticipation of a
declaration of lease default by AFG, filed a complaint against AFG (the
"defendant") in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon as a result of a
dispute which arose between the plaintiff and the defendant concerning holdover
rents due to the Partnership with respect to certain equipment and the fair
market value of such equipment leased by the Partnership to the plaintiff. AFG
filed an answer to the plaintiff's complaint and asserted a counterclaim
seeking monetary damages. A Settlement Agreement, including dismissal of
this case, was executed on June 22, 1994 and resulted in the plaintiff's
payment of $194,988 to the Partnership for rent and residual proceeds. The
equipment dispositions resulted in a net gain of $44,597, for financial
statement purposes, which the Partnership recorded in June 1994. This
settlement did not have a material adverse effect on the financial position
of the Partnership.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In connection with the indebtedness of AFG Holdings (Massachusetts)
Limited Partnership ("Holdings Massachusetts") to its senior lender (the
"Senior Lender"), referred to in Note 1 of the Partnership's 1993 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which was incurred by Holdings Massachusetts in 1990 to
acquire AFG and which is scheduled to mature on August 1, 1995, the
management of AFG and the Senior Lender have agreed to the following actions:
(i) the Senior Lender will foreclose on its security interests in AFG
Holdings (Illinois) Limited Partnership and other affiliated parties thereby
causing a change in control of AFG, and (ii) the Senior Lender will sell all
of the interests it acquires in foreclosure to GDE Acquisitions Limited
Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership entirely owned and
controlled by Gary D. Engle, President and Executive Committee Member of AFG.
In effect, GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership will acquire all of the
assets, rights and obligations of AFG from the Senior Lender and assume
control of AFG. Purchase and sale agreements to effect this transfer were
executed on October 17, 1994. The acquisition of AFG by GDE Acquisitions
Limited Partnership will occur only after the foreclosure event by the Senior
Lender has been concluded. In this regard, the Senior Lender provided notice
on October 21, 1994 to Holdings Massachusetts and certain other affiliates of
its intent to foreclose. The foreclosure event is expected to occur on or
after November 11, 1994. The sale of AFG to GDE Acquisitions Limited
Partnership is expected to occur on or before December 31, 1994.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, AFG's executive management views the foreclosure
and restructuring events favorably and looks forward to their timely
conclusion. AFG will continue to be managed by its current executive group
after the restructuring.

FORM 10-Q
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1993:
Overview
As an equipment leasing partnership, the Partnership was designed to
progress through four major phases: development, acquisition, operations, and
liquidation. During the operations phase, a period of approximately six years,
all equipment in the Partnership's portfolio will progress through various
stages. At first, all equipment will generate rental revenues under lease
agreements identified as primary term. As the Partnership ages, these primary
term lease agreements will expire on an intermittent basis. Equipment held
under expired leases may be renewed, re-leased or sold, depending on prevailing
market conditions and AFG's assessment of such conditions, to obtain the most
advantageous economic benefit. Over time, the frequency of primary lease term
expirations will increase and a greater portion of the Partnership's original
equipment portfolio will become available for remarketing. Cash generated from
operations and from sales or refinancings will begin to fluctuate as a result,
until all equipment is sold and the Partnership is liquidated. The
Partnership's operations commenced in 1987. Currently, the Partnership is in
the latter stages of its operations phase.
Results of Operations
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Partnership
recognized lease revenue of $423,582 and $1,523,819, respectively, compared to
$530,537 and $1,599,429 for the same periods in 1993. The decrease in lease
revenue from 1993 to 1994 was expected and resulted principally from primary
lease term expirations and the sale of equipment. In addition, during May
1994, the Partnership re-leased an L1011-100 aircraft, in which it owns a
26.21% interest, to a third party. This re-lease will generate approximately
$157,000 in additional lease revenue through November 1994.
The Managing General Partner lowered the aggregate amount reserved against
potentially uncollectable rents to $60,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1994. This caused an increase in lease revenue of $53,000 or
$0.05 per limited partnership unit. It cannot be determined whether the
Partnership will recover any past due rents in the future; however, the
Managing General Partner will pursue the collection of all such items.
Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994
was $14,515 and $39,260, respectively, compared to $5,496 and $22,504 for the
same periods in 1993. Interest income is generated from temporary investment
of rental receipts and equipment sale proceeds in short-term instruments. The
increase in interest income from 1993 to 1994 is attributable to a greater
availability of cash used for investment prior to distribution to the
Partners. The amount of future interest income is expected to fluctuate in
relation to prevailing interest rates, collection of lease revenue and the
proceeds from equipment sales.
For the three months ended September 30, 1994, the Partnership sold
equipment having a net book value of $324 to existing lessees and third
parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement
purposes, of $41,878 compared to a net gain of $298,685 on equipment having a
net book value of $1,632 for the same period in 1993.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Partnership sold
equipment having a net book value of $1,307 to existing lessees and third
parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes,
of $103,730 compared to a net gain of $462,967 on equipment having a net book
value of $415,812 for the same period in 1993.
It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a
net gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be
dependent upon the condition and type of equipment being sold and its
marketability at the time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss
reported for financial statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of
accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.
The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent upon many factors, including AFG's ability to sell and re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological
advances, and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from
asset values at any given time. AFG attempts to monitor these changes in
order to identify opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership
and which will maximize total cash returns for each asset.
The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is
comprised of all primary lease term revenues generated from that asset,
together with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds
realized upon the asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts
obtained from renting the asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month
basis. The Partnership classifies such residual rental payments as lease
revenue. Consequently, the amount of gain or loss reported in the financial
statements is not necessarily indicative of the total residual value the
Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment.
Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1994 was $273,725 and $874,181, respectively, compared to
$457,751 and $1,565,490 for the same periods in 1993. The Partnership
depreciates its equipment, on a straight-line basis, to an amount equal to
its estimated residual value at the end of its useful life. Typically,
useful life corresponds to the primary lease term period associated with each
asset. To the extent that equipment is held longer than its expected useful
life (beyond the primary lease term period), the Partnership continues to
depreciate the equipment on a straight-line basis over its remaining economic
life.
Interest expense was $5,506 and $21,783 or 1.3% and 1.4% of lease revenue
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively, compared
to $12,854 and $45,030 or 2.4% and 2.8% of lease revenue for the same periods
in 1993. Interest expense in future periods will continue to decline in amount
and as a percentage of lease revenue as the principal balance of notes payable
is reduced through the application of rent receipts to outstanding debt.
Management fees were 5% of lease revenue in each of the periods ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993 and will not change as a percentage of lease
revenue in future periods.
Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges,
professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment storage or
repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment
being remarketed. Collectively, operating expenses represented 20.2% and
8.6% of lease revenue for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively, compared to 4.1% and 5% of lease
revenue for the same periods in 1993. The increase in operating expenses in
1994 is due primarily to repair, maintenance, legal, and other costs incurred
in connection with the re-lease of an L1011-100 aircraft to a third-party.
The amount of future operating expenses cannot be predicted with certainty;
however, such expenses are usually higher during the acquisition and
liquidation phases of a partnership. Other fluctuations typically occur in
relation to the volume and timing of remarketing activities.
The relatively low inflation rates in 1994 and 1993 and the economic
recession may have caused some re-lease and sale proceeds to be lower than that
which may have been achieved in a stronger economic environment. In other
cases, the economic recession may have had an adverse effect on the ability of
certain lessees to fulfill all of their financial obligations under the leases.
These factors will result in the investors achieving a rate-of-return lower
than that anticipated at the Partnership's commencement date.
Discussion of Cash Flows
The statement of cash flows summarizes the cash inflows and outflows from
the Partnership's operating, investing and financing activities. The
Partnership's largest source of cash is that provided by operating activities.
The Partnership's operating activities generated net cash of $1,335,991 and
$1,680,392 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Partnership reflects cash expended for equipment acquisitions and cash
provided from equipment sale proceeds under investing activities. In 1994, the
Partnership capitalized $18,346 in connection with the upgrade of an L1011-100
aircraft. During the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Partnership
realized $105,037 in equipment sale proceeds compared to $878,779 for the same
period in 1993.
Financing activities reflect a net cash outflow of $2,062,805 and
$2,039,174 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
For the period ended September 30, 1993, the Partnership reflected cash inflows
from leveraging a portion of the Partnership's equipment portfolio with
third-party lending institutions in the amount of $125,631. During both
periods, a significant cash outflow for the Partnership resulted from the
repayment of notes payable. All long-term financing was provided by
third-party lending institutions.
All of the Partnership's notes payable are secured by designated equipment
and the rental payments received in connection with that equipment. As rental
payments are collected, a portion or all of the rental payment is used to repay
the associated debt. All debt is structured such that it is fully amortized
over the lease term underlying the secured equipment. Principal payments on
long-term notes payable for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
were $354,728 and $599,069, respectively.
A major outflow of cash is attributable to quarterly cash distributions
paid to the General Partners and Recognized Owners. Aggregate cash
distributions paid during the nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and
1993 were $1,708,077 and $1,565,736, respectively.
Cash distributions to the Partners consist of both a return of and a
return on capital. To the extent that cash distributions consist of Cash
From Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions
should be viewed as a return of capital.
Overall, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $640,123 and increased by
$519,997 during the nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's operations are expected to generate a positive cash flow
each year through the final disposition of equipment. However, the future
liquidity of the Partnership is greatly dependent upon the collection of
noncancellable rents and the residual values realized from remarketing the
Partnership's equipment. It is anticipated that cash proceeds resulting from
these sources will satisfy the Partnership's future expense obligations.
Lease revenues may drop significantly in the final stages of the
Partnership's operations phase due to equipment sales and lower rental revenues
generated from renewal and re-lease activities. Therefore, as the Partnership
approaches its liquidation phase and the final stages of its remarketing
activities, it is expected that the level of quarterly cash distributions will
fluctuate.
Further, the Partnership's future cash distributions will be negatively
affected by the bankruptcy of certain lessees referred to in Note 7 to the
financial statements in the 1993 Annual Report. The bankruptcy of Affiliated
Land Corporation ("Affiliated") will result in the Partnership's loss of any
future interest in the residual value of the equipment Affiliated leased from
the Partnership. Aggregate program performance will be dependent upon many
factors, including the outcome of all legal proceedings, the collection of all
future noncancellable rents, and the results of remarketing the Partnership's
remaining equipment.
During 1994, the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships, executed a
renewal lease agreement in connection with an MD-82 aircraft leased by
Northwest. Pursuant to the agreement, Northwest will continue to lease the
aircraft until July 31, 1997. The Partnership, which owns a 16% interest in
this aircraft, will receive an aggregate of $962,529 in lease revenue during
the thirty-eight month renewal period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Partnership declared
total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $1,708,077. In accordance
with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited
Partnership, the Recognized Owners were allocated 99% of these distributions,
or $1,690,995 and the General Partners were allocated 1%, or $17,082. The
third quarter 1994 cash distribution occurred on October 14, 1994.
