PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Three and six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the three and
six months ended June 30, 1994:
Overview
As an equipment leasing partnership, the Partnership was
organized to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment
subject to lease agreements with third parties. The Partnership
was designed to progress through three principal phases:
acquisitions, 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.
Initially, all equipment will generate rental revenues under
primary term lease agreements. During the life of the
Partnership, these agreements will expire on an intermittent basis
and equipment held pursuant to the related leases will be renewed,
re-leased or sold, depending on prevailing market conditions and
the assessment of such conditions by AFG to obtain the most
advantageous economic benefit. Over time, a greater portion of
the Partnership's original equipment portfolio will become
available for remarketing and cash generated from operations and
from sales or refinancings will begin to fluctuate. Ultimately,
all equipment will be sold and the Partnership will be dissolved.
The Partnership's operations commenced in 1987.
Results of Operations
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, the
Partnership recognized lease revenue of $195,127 and $436,122,
respectively, compared to $531,566 and $998,108 for the same
periods in 1994. The decrease in lease revenue between 1994 and
1995 was expected and resulted principally from primary lease term
expirations and the sale of equipment.
The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets
in which the Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest.
In such cases, the remaining interests are owned by AFG or an
affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored by AFG.
Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Partnership to
further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the
ownership of selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels
of risk which could result from a concentration in any single
equipment type, industry or lessee. The Partnership and each
affiliate individually report, in proportion to their respective
ownership interests, their respective shares of assets,
liabilities, revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.
At March 31, 1995, the Managing General Partner lowered the
amount reserved against potentially uncollectable rents to $20,000
resulting in an increase in lease revenue of $30,000. 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 six months ended June 30,
1995 was $11,902 and $22,781, respectively, compared to $8,462 and
$16,098 for the same periods in 1994. Interest income is
generated from temporary investment of rental receipts and
equipment sale proceeds in short-term instruments. The increase
in interest income from 1994 to 1995 is principally attributable
to an increase in interest rates. The amount of future interest
income is expected to fluctuate in relation to prevailing interest
rates and the collection of lease revenue and equipment sale
proceeds.
For the three months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership sold
equipment which had been fully depreciated to existing lessees and
third parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial
statement purposes, of $69,890 compared to a net gain of $37,071
on equipment having a net book value of $350 for the same period
in 1994.
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS III-C LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
FORM 10-Q
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership sold
equipment which had been fully depreciated to existing lessees and
third parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial
statement purposes, of $303,078 compared to a net gain of $48,241
on equipment having a net book value of $350 for the same period
in 1994.
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 six months ended June
30, 1995 was $110,172 and $221,613 compared to $290,604 and
$610,316 for the same periods in 1994. For financial reporting
purposes, to the extent that an asset is held on primary lease
term, the Partnership depreciates the difference between (i)
the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual value of the
asset on a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of
this policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of
equipment values at the date of primary lease expiration. To the
extent that an asset is held beyond its primary lease term, the
Partnership continues to depreciate the remaining net book value
of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining
economic life.
Interest expense was $861 and $2,407 or less than 1% of lease
revenue for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1995, respectively, compared to $6,008 and $17,035 or 1.1% and
1.7% of lease revenue for the same periods in 1994. 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 during each of the
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 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 14.2% and 12.8% of
lease revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995,
respectively, compared to 3.1% and 3.8% of lease revenue for the
same periods in 1994. The increase in operating expenses from
1994 to 1995 was due primarily to higher premiums in connection
with supplemental insurance policies carried by the Partnership on
certain aircraft and an increase in professional service costs.
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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity which
was established for specific purposes described in the preceding
"Overview". As an equipment leasing program, the Partnership's
principal operating activities derive from asset rental
transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's principal source of
cash from operations is provided by the collection of periodic
rents. These cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service
obligations associated with leveraged leases, and to pay
management fees and operating costs. Operating activities
generated net cash inflows of $711,689 during the six months ended
June 30, 1995 compared to $838,412 for the same period in 1994.
Future renewal, re-lease and equipment sale activities will cause
a gradual decline in the Partnership's lease revenues and
corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses
associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and
net cash flow from operating activities will decline as the
Partnership experiences a higher frequency of remarketing events.
Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under
lease. This will occur principally through sale transactions
whereby each asset will be sold to the existing lessee or to a
third party. Generally, this will occur upon expiration of each
asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term. In certain instances,
casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of
an asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in
the collection of stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms
and conditions contained in the underlying lease agreements.
Cash realized from asset disposal transactions is reported
under investing activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash
Flows. During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership
realized $303,078 in equipment sale proceeds compared to $48,591
for the same period in 1994. Future inflows of cash from asset
disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by
many factors including, but not limited to, the frequency and
timing of lease expirations, the type of equipment being sold, its
condition and age, and future market conditions.
The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection
with certain equipment leases. The repayments of principal
related to such indebtedness are reported as a component of
financing activities. Each note payable is recourse only to the
specific equipment financed and to the minimum rental payments
contracted to be received during the debt amortization period
(which period generally coincides with the lease rental term). As
rental payments are collected, a portion or all of the rental
payment is used to repay the associated indebtedness. In future
periods, the amount of cash used to repay debt obligations will
decline as the principal balance of notes payable is reduced
through the collection and application of rents.
Cash distributions to the Recognized Owners and General
Partners are declared and generally paid within fifteen days
following the end of each calendar quarter. The payment of such
distributions is presented as a component of financing activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership declared
total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $488,718. In
accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate
of Limited Partnership, the Recognized Owners were allocated 99%
of these distributions, or $483,831, and the General Partners were
allocated 1%, or $4,887. The second quarter 1995 cash distribution
was paid on July 14, 1995.
Cash distributions paid 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. Cash distributions do not represent and are
not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment
cannot be determined with any certainty until conclusion of the
Partnership and will be dependent upon the collection of all
future contracted rents, the generation of renewal and/or re-lease
rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at its
disposal date. Future market conditions, technological changes,
the ability of AFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many
other events and circumstances, could enhance or detract from
individual asset yields and the collective performance of the
Partnership's equipment portfolio.
The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by
the foregoing and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of
contractual rents and the outcome of residual activities. The
Managing General Partner anticipates that cash proceeds resulting
from these sources will satisfy the Partnership's future expense
obligations. However, the amount of cash available for
distribution in future periods will fluctuate. Equipment lease
expirations and asset disposals will cause the Partnership's net
cash from operating activities to diminish over time; and
equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and period of
realization. Accordingly, fluctuations in the level of quarterly
cash distributions will occur during the life of the Partnership.
