Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
<PAGE>
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to the Six Months Ended
June 30, 1996 -
Net assets decreased from $33,545,476 at December 31, 1996 to $32,061,955 at
June 30, 1997. During this same time period, the accumulation unit value
increased from .98 at December 31, 1996 to 1.01 at June 30, 1997. The Account
experienced net terminations amounting to $2,551,145 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to net terminations of $445,621 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996. The net terminations for the six months ended June 30, 1996
include approximately $1,800,000 for accumulation units purchased by IDS Life,
which has been used to pay for contract surrenders, as discussed more fully
below. In the six months ended June 30, 1997, IDS Life had not purchased any
accumulation units.
Recorded net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $1,088,559
compared to $291,845 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Interest income represents income earned in 1997 on the Account's investment in
short-term securities. Interest generated from short-term investments of
$279,853 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 is due primarily to an increase
in short-term investments. The increase in short-term investments is due
primarily to cash received as a result of (i) the payoff of the Riverpoint
mortgage loan receivable in December 1996 and (ii) the sale of the West
Springfield apartments in September 1996.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily represented
income earned on the Account's investment in the participation in a mortgage
loan (Riverpoint Shopping Center). For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the
Account recognized net unrealized depreciation of participation in mortgage loan
of $127,844 as a result of lower effective rents achieved upon releasing the
center.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Account recognized net unrealized
depreciation of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately
$507,511, primarily due to a decrease in current assets at Monmouth Associates.
A portion of the decrease was a result of a $4,000,000 cash distribution in
which the Account's share was $278,800, and the payment of certain capital and
tenant improvements.
Distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures increased from $1,322,170 at
the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $957,153 at the six months ended
June 30, 1996. The increase in distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures
is due primarily to increased distributions from Monmouth Associates in the
first quarter of 1997. The increased distribution was the result of previously
undistributed cash flow earned in prior quarters.
Due to the sale of its wholly-owned real estate investment, West Springfield
Terrace Apartments, in September 1996, the Account had $0 rental income for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $1,241,144 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996. Also, expenses related to the wholly-owned real estate investment
totaled $0 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $875,627 for the
corresponding period in 1996.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Account's recorded equity in
earnings of its unconsolidated joint ventures (N/S Associates, Monmouth
Associates and 1225 Connecticut) was $1,190,864 compared to $1,004,262 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase is due primarily to an increase in
interest income earned by Monmouth Associates. The increase in earnings was
partially offset by lower rental income achieved at Southridge and Northridge
Malls due to lower effective rents.
Northridge Mall continues to be adversely affected by the perception that it is
an unsafe place to shop. This perception has resulted in declining sales and
occupancy over a three-year period. Compounding the problem of declining sales
are the high operating costs for tenants at the mall. Occupancy has also been
affected by tenant bankruptcies over the past years. As of June 30, 1997,
occupancy of the mall shops was approximately 72%, including temporary tenants
under short term leases. During the second quarter of 1997 occupancy decreased
1%. However, the mall shops at Northridge Mall is 75% leased.
To counter the negative perception of Northridge Mall, N/S Associates has
implemented certain capital improvements and operational programs to improve the
shopping center's safety and appearance, as well as instituted certain marketing
efforts to enhance its image. Certain recent positive sales trends appear to
indicate a modest improvement; however, elimination of the negative perception
is expected to take some time. In addition, N/S Associates is seeking to
increase occupancy at the shopping center by aggressively marketing space for
new and renewal tenants through leasing incentives, as well as continuing to
cooperate with existing tenants who need short-term rent reductions in order to
retain occupancy of their space. Part of the leasing strategy includes targeting
certain well-recognized retailers as a group that would become tenants at the
shopping center. It is expected that the draw of this group of tenants would
help the shopping center gain leasing momentum and aid in future leasing
efforts.
As of June 30, 1997, leasing and occupancy of the portion of Southridge Mall
owned by N/S Associates were approximately 91% and 89%, respectively, including
temporary tenants under short-term leases.
The Account paid asset management and mortality expense risk fees of $409,066
and $526,934 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to the Three Months Ended
June 30, 1996 -
Recorded net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $525,670
compared to $(51,302) for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in
recorded net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 is due primarily to
the recognition in 1996 of unrealized depreciation of $507,511 on investments in
unconsolidated joint ventures.
During the three months ended June 30, 1997, $592,603 of income was attributable
to the Account's recorded equity in earnings of its unconsolidated joint
ventures (N/S Associates, Monmouth Associates, and 1225 Connecticut) compared to
$497,491 for the corresponding three months in 1996. The increase in income is
primarily due to (i) an increase in interest income earned by Monmouth
Associates and (ii) an increase in rental income earned at 1225 Connecticut. The
increase was partially offset by lower rental income achieved at Southridge and
Northridge Malls due to lower effective rents.
Due to the sale of its wholly-owned real estate investment, West Springfield
Terrace Apartments, in September 1996, the Account had $0 rental income for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $599,606 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. Also, the expenses related to the wholly-owned real estate
investment totaled $0 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to
$433,266 for the corresponding period in 1996.
The Account paid total asset management and mortality expense risk fees for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 of $204,920 compared to $263,711 for the
corresponding period in 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to the Six Months Ended
June 30, 1996 -
At June 30, 1997, the Account had cash and investments of
short-term securities of approximately $8,920,000 as compared to approximately
$10,357,000 at December 31, 1996. The Account had experienced net contract
terminations in 4 consecutive quarters.
The liquidity requirements of the Account have generally been met by funds
provided from the Account's short-term investments, cash distributions from
unconsolidated joint ventures, operating cash flow, interest income, proceeds
from the sale of West Springfield Terrace apartments, the loan repayment from
Riverpoint Center, proceeds from sales of contracts and borrowings under the
line of credit from IDS Life and purchases of accumulation units by IDS Life
discussed below. The primary uses of funds currently are expected to be for
asset management and mortality and expense risk fees and payments for contract
terminations and redemption units held by IDS Life.
Effective May 1, 1995, new contract sales of the Account were discontinued.
Additional purchase payments continue to be accepted for existing contracts in
amounts specified in the Account's prospectus, whether by means of the
previously established bank authorizations or otherwise. Existing contracts also
continue to be serviced and surrender requests will be honored.
IDS Life has purchased accumulation units in order to maintain the Account and
its liquidity. IDS Life made these payments so that no contract holder would be
disadvantaged because sales of new contracts have been discontinued. The initial
payments for accumulation units that IDS Life made into the Account were used to
pay off the amount that the Account had borrowed under its revolving line of
credit. As of June 30, 1997, IDS Life had purchased approximately 24,969,872
accumulation units.
By purchasing accumulation units, IDS Life has an ownership interest in the
Account. Since IDS Life does not purchase a contract, it is not subject to
surrender charges. However, IDS Life, as holder of accumulation units,
participates in the increase or decrease in the value of the Account's
investments just as other owners of accumulation units do. IDS Life may realize
a gain or loss on its accumulation units when redeemed.
IDS Life currently expects to hold the accumulation units it purchases until the
surrender of all outstanding contracts or until the Account's liquidity improves
(through, for example, one or more sales of real estate related investments)
thereby permitting the Account to satisfy its anticipated contract obligations.
Because IDS Life may purchase a significant amount of accumulation units, IDS
Life may be subject to certain conflicts of interest it would not otherwise have
if it had not purchased such accumulation units, including, among other things,
a conflict in approving periodic valuations of real estate investments made by
the Investment Adviser.
Since the Account has experienced substantial net contract terminations over the
past several years, the Account does not intend to acquire additional real
estate related investments. Further, the Account intends to liquidate the real
estate related investments that it currently holds when it becomes advantageous
or necessary to do so. During 1996, the Account liquidated two real estate
related investments. To the extent funds of the Account are not used to pay
obligations of the Account, including those under existing contracts, or the
redemption of accumulation units purchased by IDS Life, such funds will be
invested in short-term debt instruments and possibly intermediate-term bonds
with maturities of up to five years.
Through June 30, 1997, Monmouth Associates had funded approximately $26,132,000
of the renovation loan (which excludes $1.3 million of construction loan
interest) for Monmouth Mall. Fundings of principal on the loan have been made
from cash reserves held by Monmouth Associates, cash flow from interest and
ground rent payments received from the borrower/lessee and capital contributions
made to Monmouth Associates by its partners pro rata based upon their respective
interests. The aggregate amount of capital contributions to finance the loan is
approximately $9,830,000. The Account's share of these capital contributions is
approximately $685,000. The aggregate amount of the renovation loan, including
accrued and deferred interest of approximately $1,300,000, is currently expected
to be approximately $26,989,000. Remaining fundings for the renovation loan are
expected to be made from cash flow and funds currently held by Monmouth
Associates. Monmouth Associates may also be required to make certain additional
loans to pay a portion of the costs of certain tenant improvements or other
ordinary capital expenditures. In addition, Monmouth Associates may provide
additional financing to the borrower/lessee in order to pay costs to be incurred
in connection with the replacement or expansion of a department store tenant at
Monmouth Mall. However, it is not currently expected that this would occur
during 1997.
The renovation is complete except for some tenant improvement work for one of
the larger tenants and some retainage work remaining. The occupancy of mall
shops and outparcel space at the shopping center as of June 30, 1997 was
approximately 86%. However, the mall shops and outparcel space are approximately
89% leased. Leasing and occupancy at the shopping center have been adversely
affected by tenant bankruptcies occurring over the past several years.
N/S Associates currently expects that it will incur approximately $2,090,000 in
1997 for tenant improvement, asbestos removal and other capital items at
Northridge and Southridge Malls. Actual amounts expended in 1997 may vary
depending on a number of factors, including actual leasing activity, results of
property operations, liquidity considerations and market conditions over the
course of the year. N/S Associates undertakes asbestos removal from time to time
at portions of the Northridge and Southridge Malls as tenant spaces are vacated
and prior to occupancy by new tenants. The cost of tenant improvements, asbestos
removal and other capital items generally will be provided out of cash flows
from the properties. N/S Associates expended approximately $2,236,000 for tenant
improvements, asbestos removal and other capital projects in 1996.
At June 30, 1997, real property investments (through two unconsolidated joint
ventures, N/S Associates and 1225 Connecticut), land sale-leaseback investments
(through an unconsolidated joint venture, Monmouth Associates) and short-term
investments represented 45 percent, 27 percent and 28 percent of total assets,
respectively. At June 30, 1996, real property investments, mortgage loan and
land sale-leaseback investments and short-term investments represented 71
percent, 27 percent and 2 percent of total assets, respectively.
