Item 5. Other Events
------------
On August 28, 1997, the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York (the "Court") approved the settlement (the "Settlement") of
the class action litigation relating to Summit Preferred Equity L.P. (the
"Partnership") against Related Equity Funding and Partnership Monitoring Corp.
(the "Related General Partner") and certain of its affiliates (In re Prudential
Securities Inc. Limited Partnership Litigation, MDL No. 1005). As part of the
Settlement, the Court approved the consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the
Partnership with Summit Insured Equity L.P., Summit Insured Equity II L.P., and
Eagle Insured L.P. (collectively with the Partnership, the "Partnerships"),
three other limited partnerships co-sponsored by affiliates of the Related
General Partner and Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. (the "P-B General
Partner"). The new entity will be Aegis Realty, Inc., a Maryland real estate
investment trust, (the "REIT"). The REIT will engage an affiliate of the Related
General Partner to manage its day to day affairs (the "Advisor").
The REIT has been approved for listing subject to notice of issuance on the
American Stock Exchange under the symbol "AER". The REIT is an open-ended,
infinite life entity formed to generate distributable cash flow through the
acquisition and ownership (either directly or through subsidiary partnerships)
of a diversified portfolio of retail and residential properties and
participating FHA insured and co-insured mortgages consistent with the present
objectives of the Partnerships. The REIT will initially own direct or indirect
interests in 14 neighborhood shopping centers, two garden apartment complexes
and three participation FHA co-insured mortgage loans and will initially have a
net asset value of approximately $121,000,000.
As part of the Consolidation, the Advisor will acquire the general partner
interest of the P-B General Partner and will contribute one half of such
interest back to the Partnership.
The Consolidation and commencement of trading of shares of the REIT is
expected to occur in October of 1997, although no assurance can be given
regarding the exact timing of such events.
