PART I
ITEM 1. Business.
--------
Tower Park Marina Investors, L.P. (formerly PS Marina Investors I), a
California Limited Partnership ("Registrant"), is a publicly held limited
partnership organized on January 6, 1988 under the California Revised Limited
Partnership Act. Commencing August 4, 1988, Registrant offered 12,000 units
(including options) of limited partnership interest (the "Units") to the public
at $5,000 per Unit in an interstate offering. The offering was terminated on
November 27, 1989, with limited partners purchasing 4,508 Units for an aggregate
purchase price of $22,540,000.
Registrant's general partners (the "General Partners") were originally
Westrec Investors, Inc., (formerly PS Marina Investors, Inc.) a California
corporation (the "Corporate General Partner") and B. Wayne Hughes ("Mr.
Hughes"). Effective March 1, 1997 Tower Park Marina Operating Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Westrec Financial, Inc., a California corporation
("Westrec Financial") was substituted for Mr. Hughes. The Corporate General
Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westrec Properties, Inc., a California
corporation ("Westrec Properties"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Westrec Financial. The limited partners of Registrant have no right to
participate in the management or conduct of Registrant's business and affairs.
Registrant has entered into management agreements with Westrec Marina
Management, Inc. ("WMMI"), a California corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Westrec Financial, whereby WMMI has agreed to manage Registrant's
properties for monthly fees generally equal to 6% of gross revenues from the
operation of Tower Park Marina. The management agreement is cancelable on 60
days' notice by either party with or without cause. WMMI also manages marina
properties for other entities affiliated with the General Partners and for
unaffiliated third parties.
Registrant was formed to acquire and improve existing marinas and
related facilities and, to a lesser extent, to develop marina facilities.
Marina facilities typically contain wet and/or dry boat storage facilities,
gasoline sales facilities and may contain one or more related facilities such as
a recreational vehicle ("R.V.") or campground facilities, boat trailer storage
facilities, boat rental and sales facilities, restaurants or similar facilities,
and boat supply and sundries stores. Substantially all of the Registrant's
income is derived from the rental of wet and/or dry boat storage facilities and
related facilities such as R.V.
2
<PAGE>
facilities and boat trailer storage facilities, and from the receipt of rental
payments under leases or subleases.
Registrant's principal investment objectives are to (1) preserve and
protect Registrant's invested capital; (2) provide cash distributions from
property operations; (3) maximize the potential for appreciation in value of
Registrant's property; and (4) build up equity through the reduction of the
mortgage loan on Registrant's property.
The General Partners or an affiliate supervise the construction of
improvements to Registrant's property.
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, Registrant owned one property, known
as Tower Park Marina. Reference is made to Item 2 for a summary of information
about this property. On September 30, 1996, the Registrant's ThunderBoat and
Banyan Bay Marinas were foreclosed on by the lender on the properties. On
February 6, 1996, the Registrant's Chandlers Landing Yacht Club was sold at a
foreclosure sale to the lender on the property.
Registrant competes in the operation of its property with other
entities, some of which may have greater resources than Registrant. The primary
factors upon which competition is based are location, the manner in which the
property is managed and marketed, the nature and quality of facilities and
rental rates. Registrant's property may encounter competition from other
marinas which are located near it, and no assurance can be given that additional
competing marinas will not be developed in the vicinity of the property.
Affiliates of the General Partners operate a marina in the vicinity of
Registrant's marina, and the General Partners or their affiliates may organize
future partnerships or other entities to own and operate marinas which may
compete with Registrant's property. The General Partners and their affiliates,
including in particular WMMI, may also manage marinas owned by unaffiliated
third parties which may compete with Registrant's property.
A portion of the Registrant's Tower Park Marina is operated under a
lease with the California State Lands Commission ("CSLC"). Registrant's
assignment or sublease of its rights under this agreement would require the
consent of the CSLC. An uncured breach of any of the conditions of the CSLC
lease would constitute grounds for revocation of the lease. Effective January
1, 1999 the CSLC lease was extended until December 31, 2023.
3
<PAGE>
Marinas are subject to numerous governmental regulations, particularly
environmental regulations, such as water pollution and water quality control
regulations, and other miscellaneous regulatory requirements. Failure to comply
with those regulations would constitute grounds for revocation of the CSLC lease
when such failure affects the leased property. Any licensee or subtenant of
Registrant is also required to comply with such regulations.
Registrant and its sublessees are subject to certain reporting
requirements relating to any water pollution caused by their operations, such as
the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986
("California Proposition 65"). California Proposition 65 contains a prohibition
on discharging specified toxic chemicals into water or land where such chemicals
pass (or probably will pass) into any source of drinking water. Civil penalties
have been established for violations of California Proposition 65 and actions
may also be brought. Registrant and its sublessees must comply with applicable
laws concerning the lawful handling and disposal of certain products used in and
generated by the operation of its marinas, such as oil, paint, sewage and fuel.
Registrant and its sublessees must also comply with applicable federal, state
and local laws concerning underground storage tanks. The Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") has issued a number of regulations relating to
underground storage tanks which include a reporting requirement for a specified
level of soil contamination. Moreover, at all times, owners of tanks are
responsible for the cost of cleaning up any leaks and for compensating injured
parties. Registrant may also be subject to state laws regarding underground
storage tanks that have requirements more stringent than those under the EPA.
If any leaks from storage tanks or spillage or disposal from other operations
(such as the loading of gasoline into boats by Registrant or its sublessees or
the disposal of paint, oil and other products used in the repair of boats)
causes or has caused contamination of the soil or the water, Registrant and its
sublessees will be required to comply with federal, state and local laws
relating to "hazardous waste" clean-up and Registrant and its sublessees may
have to incur expenses to dispose of the hazardous waste in a lawful manner. If
other parties contribute or have contributed to water or soil contamination at
Tower Park Marina, Registrant would be able to seek reimbursement from such
other parties in connection with the payment by Registrant of any expenses to
comply with such regulations.
4
<PAGE>
In November 1991, contamination was discovered in the area surrounding a
fuel storage tank at Tower Park Marina. Currently, the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board has required groundwater sampling and monitoring on a
quarterly basis. The Registrant continues to engage environmental consultants
to perform the monitoring. At this time, it is not possible to determine the
extent of contamination that exists and as such the cost of remediation cannot
be estimated.
Tower Park Marina is also subject to a variety of federal, state and
local laws affecting the development or improvement, including laws and
regulations relating to environmental factors. Difficulties or failures in
obtaining required approvals could delay or prevent any future improvement at
the property.
The operations at Tower Park Marina are influenced by factors that
affect the boating industry both locally and nationally, with activity at Tower
Park Marina increasing seasonally during the period April through October of
each year.
There are 25 persons who render service on behalf of Registrant on a
full-time basis, and 22 persons who render services on a part-time basis. These
persons include managers, assistant managers, relief managers, area managers,
restaurant personnel, accounting, administrative and clerical personnel,
construction, dock personnel and development and supervision personnel. The
persons rendering services on a part-time basis may also render services on
behalf of one or more of WMMI, Westrec Financial, other partnerships organized
by Westrec Financial and other persons or entities owning properties managed by
WMMI.
The term of Registrant is until the property has been sold and, in any
event, not later than December 31, 2038.

ITEM 2. Property.
--------
As of December 31, 1999, the Registrant owned Tower Park Marina, which
is located in San Joaquin County, California. The property was acquired on
February 1, 1988. Tower Park Marina is situated on 44.5 acres, of which 14
acres are leased from the California State Lands Commission (the "CSLC Lease").
Tower Park Marina improvements and operations currently consist of the
following: (a) 188 covered slips contained in 17 covered sheds; (b) 135 open
slips; (c) end ties for approximately 18 boats; (d) an R.V. facility containing
approximately 388 existing spaces; (e) a gas dock facility; (f) three warehouse
buildings utilized as a restaurant and bar, store, boat sales offices, and
maintenance shop containing three covered dry boat storage areas with capacity
for approximately 75 boats; and (g) additional dry storage areas with capacity
for approximately 43 boats. Registrant operates the wet and dry boat storage
facilities, the R.V. facility and the gas dock facility. The covered boat slips
at Tower Park Marina are typically rented on a month to month basis. Most of
the open boat slips and the lineal boat dockage at Tower Park Marina are rented
on a monthly, weekly or daily basis. The R.V. facility consists of permanent
(rented on an annual basis) R.V. camping and transient R.V. camping. As of
February 21, 2000, the permanent wet slip facilities (consisting of 238 slips)
were approximately 74.4% leased and the permanent R.V. spaces (consisting of 136
spaces) were approximately 87.5% leased.
The CSLC Lease provides for annual rent based on gross receipts, with
minimum annual rent of $40,000. For the year ended December 31, 1999, rent
expense for the CSLC Lease was $40,000.
The acquisition of Tower Park Marinas was financed through a note
secured by a deed of trust secured by the property. This note was purchased by
an affiliate of Mr. Hughes, formerly a general partner of the Registrant, in
January 1995. The Registrant has entered into an option agreement (which
expired on April 10, 1996) to purchase the note from the affiliate at its cost
($1,700,000) plus carrying costs. The Registrant entered into a new option
agreement effective March 1, 1997, which expired on February 28, 1998. The
Registrant paid $50,000 in February 1998 to extend the option period until
February 28, 1999, and an additional $50,000 in February 1999 to extend the
maturity date until February 28, 2000. The extension payments are applied as a
reduction in the principal amount due. The principal and interest outstanding
on the note at December 31, 1998 totaled $9,869,000. On July 1, 1999 the
Registrant
6
<PAGE>
completed the refinancing of Tower Park and exercised its option to repay the
note payable for $1,600,000. As a result, the Registrant recognized a gain of
$8,515,000 from the forgiveness of debt. For additional details see Note (3) of
the Notes to Financial Statements included in Item 14(a).
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings.
-----------------
Leaman vs. PS Marina Investors I, et al.
----------------------------------------
In September 1995, Mr. Leaman, the prior owner of ThunderBoat and Banyan
Bay Marinas filed suit in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and
for Broward County, Florida, alleging that the Registrant had failed to pay him
$1,100,000 of additional compensation relating to the Registrant's purchase of
ThunderBoat and Banyan Bay Marinas. In connection with the purchase of these
properties from Mr. Leaman in 1989, the Registrant entered into an employment
agreement that provided that Mr. Leaman would be entitled to earn a bonus,
payable over three years. The maximum bonus that Mr. Leaman could have earned
was $1,100,000. Mr. Leaman resigned from his employment in less than one year.
Mr. Leaman alleged that the bonus is actually just deferred compensation due
from his sale of the properties to Registrant. The case was settled in October
1998, with the Registrant incurring legal fees and settlement costs totaling
$261,000.
ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
---------------------------------------------------
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of 1999.
PART II
ITEM 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Registrant has no common stock.
The Units are not listed on any national securities exchange or quoted
on the NASDAQ System, and there is no established public trading market for the
Units. Secondary sales activity for the Units has been limited and sporadic.
The General Partners monitor transfers of the Units because the admission of the
transferee as a substitute limited partner requires the consent of the General
Partners under the Partnership Agreement. However, the General Partners do not
monitor or regularly receive or maintain information regarding the prices at
which secondary sales transactions in the Units have been effectuated. Various
organizations offer to purchase and sell limited partnership interests
(including securities of the
7
<PAGE>
type such as the Units) in secondary sales transactions. Various publications
such as Investment Advisor summarize and report information (on a monthly, bi-
monthly or less frequent basis) regarding secondary sales transactions in
certain limited partnership interests, including the prices at which such
secondary sales transactions are effected.
During 1997, 1998 and 1999, WMMI acquired 158 units in the Registrant,
representing 3.5% of the outstanding units at an average price of $156 per unit.
Exclusive of the General Partners' interest in Registrant, as of
December 31, 1999, there were approximately 996 Unit holders of record.
Registrant makes quarterly distributions of all "Cash Flow from
Operations" and of all "Cash from Sales or Refinancing", subject to the
provisions enumerated below. Cash Flow from Operations is the total cash
receipts of the Registrant from the operations of the Registrant's business,
which includes, but is not limited to, cash receipts from the rental of the
Registrant's properties, and which excludes Cash from Sales or Refinancing,
less: (i) all operating expenses other than non-cash expenses such as
depreciation and amortization; (ii) all principal and interest payments on any
loans or advances; (iii) any sums expended for capital improvements or
replacements (excluding amounts paid from funds provided by capital
contributions); and (iv) a cash reserve for working capital or other purposes,
the amount of which shall be determined by the General Partners. Cash from
Sales or Refinancing is the net proceeds to Registrant from all sales, exchanges
and refinancing of Registrant's properties, less payment of indebtedness
relating to such properties and adequate cash reserves from such net proceeds
for other obligations of Registrant for which there is no provision; however,
Cash from Sales or Refinancing does not include any proceeds reinvested in
properties.
As a result of Registrant's continued operating deficits, distributions
have been suspended since June 30, 1991. See Item 6 and 7 for a more detailed
discussion of the Registrant's operating results.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations.
-------------
In August 1988 the Registrant commenced an offering of up to 12,000
units of limited partnership interest to the public. The offering was
terminated on November 27, 1989 after the sale of 4,508 units.
Tower Park Marina was purchased in February 1988 and as of December 31,
1999, $10,373,000 had been incurred in capital costs associated with its
acquisition and subsequent improvement.
The operations of the Registrant's marina are influenced by factors
affecting the marina and boating industries nationally, as well as by local
market and weather conditions.
1999 Compared to 1998
---------------------
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Registrant incurred a cash
flow deficit of $434,000 (net loss before forgiveness of debt plus depreciation
and amortization), an improvement of $553,000 over the $987,000 deficit incurred
in 1998. The improvement is due to the elimination of legal fees and settlement
costs associated with the Leaman litigation which was settled in 1998 (see Item
3 above) and a $200,000 decline in interest expense due to the refinancing of
Tower Park Marina in July 1999. Included in the cash flow deficit was $301,000
of interest on the Tower Park note payable which was accrued but not paid, and
was forgiven when the option agreement with Mr. Hughes was exercised on July 1,
1999. The balance of the cash flow deficit was covered through operating cash
flow generated by Tower Park Marina and through advances from the General
Partner.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the net operating cash flow (cash
flow before debt service) for Tower Park was $309,000 compared to $312,000 in
1998. Tower Park Marina's slip rental and dry storage revenues declined $10,000
to $678,000 in 1999, which management believes is attributable to the
stabilizing of the rental market.
During 1999, in response to numerous customer complaints, management
implemented a program to increase the operating hours of the restaurant and bar
at Tower Park Marina. The increased level of operations resulted in a $99,000
increase in revenues in 1999 to $490,000, with net operating income from the
restaurant declining $38,000 to a deficit of $17,000.
RV park revenues increased $82,000 to $707,000 in 1999, due to higher
occupancies and a
10
<PAGE>
slight increase in rates.
Retail store revenues increased $57,000 to $401,000, with, net operating
income from retail sales increasing $12,000 to $88,000 in 1999.
Lease and other income increased $90,000, due primarily to a $16,000
increase in special event revenue, a $7,000 gain on the sale of assets, and a
$47,000 increase in lease income.
Cost of operations declined only $44,000. However, this decline
includes $261,000 paid in legal fees and settlement costs in 1998 on the Leaman
litigation. Excluding this item, operating costs increased $217,000. The
increase in Tower Park's operating costs is comprised of $136,000 in increased
costs associated with the higher level of activity at the restaurant and a
$65,000 increase in administrative costs.
Interest expense declined $200,000, which was primarily the net result
of a $301,000 decline in interest on the note secured by Tower Park, offset in
part by a $71,000 increase in interest paid to affiliates because of higher
outstanding balances and increased interest rates.
Depreciation and amortization increased $31,000 in 1999 due to the
amortization of new improvements at Tower Park Marina and the amortization of
capitalized financing costs.
Management fees increased $9,000 in 1999 due to the increased revenues
at Tower Park Marina.
1998 Compared to 1997
- ---------------------
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Registrant incurred a cash
flow deficit of $987,000 (net loss plus depreciation and amortization), a
decline of $243,000 over the $744,000 deficit incurred in 1997. The decline is
attributable to the legal fees and settlement costs associated with the Leaman
litigation (see Item 3 above). Included in the cash flow deficit was $601,000
of interest on the Tower Park note payable which was accrued but not paid, and
would be forgiven, if and when, the option agreement with Mr. Hughes is
exercised. The balance of the cash flow deficit was covered through operating
cash flow generated by Tower Park Marina and to a greater extent through
advances from the General Partner.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the net operating cash flow (cash
flow before debt
11
<PAGE>
service) for Tower Park was $312,000 compared to $160,000 in 1997. Tower Park
Marina's slip rental revenues declined $52,000 to $688,000 in 1998, which
management believes is attributable to the very wet spring caused by El Nino.
During late 1997, management implemented a program to reduce the
operating hours of the restaurant at Tower Park Marina in order to increase its
overall profitability. The reduced level of operations resulted in a $164,000
decline in revenues in 1998 to $391,000, with net operating income from the
restaurant improving $49,000 to $21,000.
RV park revenues increased $11,000 to $625,000 in 1998, due to a slight
increase in rates.
Retail store revenues declined $19,000 to $344,000, however, net
operating income from retail sales increased $8,000 to $76,000 in 1998.
Lease and other income remained relatively stable in 1998.
Cost of operations declined only $4,000. However, this decline reflects
$261,000 paid in legal fees and settlement costs on the Leaman litigation.
Excluding this item, operating costs declined $265,000. The decline in Tower
Park's operating costs is comprised of $213,000 in cost reductions associated
with the reduced hours of operation at the restaurant and $74,000 of
administrative cost reductions.
Interest expense increased $32,000, as a result of higher balances being
due to affiliates. The effect of the higher balances being payable to
affiliates were partially offset by lower interest rates.
Depreciation and amortization increased slightly in 1998 due to the
amortization of new improvements at Tower Park Marina.
Management fees declined $11,000 in 1998 due to the decline in Tower
Park Marina's revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Since its inception in 1988 the Registrant has operated at a deficit.
These deficits have been partially covered by advances from the General Partners
($3,162,000 through December 31, 1999) and cash reserves. In addition, the
Registrant discontinued making debt service payments on substantially all of its
12
<PAGE>
notes payable.
Between September 1991 and June 1999, no payments were made on the note
payable secured by Tower Park Marina. During 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the
Partnership was involved in various negotiations with the lender, a financial
institution, and its successor, Resolution Trust Corporation ("the RTC"), to
restructure or otherwise settle the note. In February 1994, the RTC foreclosed
on Chandlers Landing Marina (also collateral for the note) by bidding $2,038,000
of its note at the foreclosure sale. In January 1995, the RTC sold the note to
a third party. The note was then purchased by an affiliate of Mr. Hughes. The
Registrant entered into an option agreement to purchase the note from the
affiliate at its cost ($1,700,000) plus carrying costs, which expired on April
10, 1996. In connection with the substitution of a new general partner for Mr.
Hughes, the option agreement was extended until February 28, 1998. Registrant
paid $50,000 in February 1998 to extend the option period until February 28,
1999 and an additional $50,000 in February 1999 to extend the option period
until February 28, 2000 (see Item 3 above for additional details). Both
extension payments have been applied as a reduction to the principal amounts
due.
On July 1, 1999 the Registrant completed the refinancing of Tower Park
and exercised its option to repay the note payable for $1,600,000. As a result,
the Registrant recognized a gain of $8,515,000 from the forgiveness of debt.
The refinancing allowed the Partnership to repay a significant portion
of their liabilities. The new note also provides up to $500,000 ($2,100,000
less $1,600,000 to buy out the original note) for improvements to the property.
These improvements are planned for completion by December 31, 2000.
Registrant's ability to continue to operate through 2000 and beyond is
contingent on, among other factors, the improvement in Tower Park Marina
operations and continued advances from the general partners. There can be no
assurance that these conditions will be met or that the Registrant will be able
to continue as a going concern.
Impact of Year 2000
-------------------
In prior years, the Partnership discussed the nature and progress of its
plans to become Year 2000 ready. In late 1999, the Partnership completed its
remediation and testing of systems. As a result of
13
<PAGE>
those planning and implementation efforts, the Partnership experienced no
significant disruptions in mission critical information technology and non-
information technology systems and believes those systems successfully responded
to the Year 2000 date change. The Partnership expensed approximately $13,000
during 1999 in connection with remediating its systems. The Partnership is not
aware of any material problems resulting from Year 2000 issues, either with its
products, its internal systems, or the products and services of third parties.
The Partnership will continue to monitor its mission critical computer

ensure that any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are addressed promptly.

Pursuant to Articles 16 and 17 of Registrant's Partnership Agreement, a
copy of which is included in Registrant's prospectus included in SEC
Registration No. 33-21021, each of the general partners continues to serve until
(i) death, insanity, insolvency, bankruptcy or dissolution, (ii) withdrawal with
the consent of the other general partner and a majority vote of the limited
partners, or (iii) removal by a majority vote of the limited partners.

<PAGE>
Each director of the General Partners serves until he resigns or is
removed from office by Westrec Properties or Westrec Financial, and may resign
or be removed from office at any time with or without cause. Each officer of
the General Partner serves until he resigns or is removed by the board of
directors of the Corporate General Partner. Any such officer may resign or be
removed from office at any time with or without cause. No such officer was
selected as such pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between such
officer and any other person.
During 1995 two partnerships with which the Corporate General Partner is
affiliated filed petitions under the United States Bankruptcy Code. First, on
May 22, 1995, Washington, D.C. Associates, a general partnership ("WDCA"), filed
a petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Columbia.
WDCA is a partnership of two limited partnerships of which the Corporate General
Partner is the managing general partner. Second, on June 28, 1995, Westrec
Skipjack Partners, L.P., a limited partnership ("Skipjack"), filed a petition in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland. A subsidiary
of Westrec Financial, Inc., the parent corporation of the Corporate General
Partner, is the general partner of a limited partnership which in turn is the
general partner of Skipjack. Both of these cases were concluded in 1996 with
the properties being transferred to their respective lenders.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Registrant's General Partners, and the directors and executive officers of the
Corporate General Partner, and persons who own more than ten percent of the
Registrant's Units, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial
reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Units. General
Partners, officers, directors and greater than ten-percent Unitholders are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Registrant with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file.
To the Registrant's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of
such reports furnished to the Registrant and written representations that no
other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its General Partners, the
executive officers and directors of the Corporate General Partner and greater
than ten-percent beneficial owners of the Registrant were complied with.

<PAGE>
ITEM 11. Executive Compensation.
----------------------
Registrant has no directors or officers. See Item 13 for a description
of certain transactions between Registrant and its General Partners and their
affiliates.
ITEM 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
--------------------------------------------------------------
(a) As of the date hereof, no person is known by Registrant to own
beneficially more than 5% of the Units of limited partnership interest.
(b) Registrant has no officers or directors.
As of December 31, 1999, the General Partners have contributed $1,000
to the capital of Registrant. None of the directors and officers of the
Corporate General Partner own any Units of limited partnership interest of
Registrant. The Corporate General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Westrec Properties.
Westrec Financial (which may be deemed a parent of Registrant) has two
classes of stock outstanding, common stock and Convertible Participating
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") which votes together with the common
stock, except for the election of directors. Michael M. Sachs, an officer and
director of Westrec Financial and the Corporate General Partner owns 100% of the
common stock of Westrec Financial. As of December 31, 1999 there was no
preferred stock outstanding.
Since 1997, WMMI has acquired 186 units (158 units at December 31,
1999) in the Registrant, representing 4.13% of the outstanding units.
In addition, the Corporate General Partner and the Individual General
Partner have entered into an agreement allowing each General Partner to offer to
sell to the other its rights to receive cash and other distributions from
Registrant (such rights are referred to as the "Interest"). The offer must be
accompanied by an offer to buy the Interest of the other General Partner at the
same price. The General Partner not making the offer has the option to elect
whether to purchase the Interest of the other General Partner or to sell its
Interest in Registrant to the offering General Partner. After the sale, the
purchasing General Partner must use his or its best efforts to secure the
approval of the limited partners of Registrant to the withdrawal of the selling
General Partner.
(c) Registrant knows of no contractual arrangements, the operation of
the terms of which
18
<PAGE>
may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of Registrant, except as
described above and except for Articles 16, 17 and 21.1 of Registrant's
Partnership Agreement, a copy of which is included in Registrant's prospectus
included in SEC Registration Statement No. 33-21021. Those articles provide, in
substance, that the limited partners shall have the right, by majority vote, to
remove a general partner and that a general partner may designate a successor
with the consent of the other general partner and a majority of the limited
partners.
ITEM 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
----------------------------------------------
Registrant's prospectus included in SEC Registration Statement No. 33-
21021 provides that the General Partners and their affiliates are entitled to
the following compensation:
1. Acquisition and Development Fees to be paid to the General
Partners or their affiliates for their services in connection with the analysis,
research, negotiation, documentation, acquisition, construction and development
related to investments for Registrant, in an amount equal to 6% of the purchase
price or the cost of construction of the properties. Cumulative Acquisition and
Development Fees paid to the General Partners and their affiliates through
December 31, 1999 totaled $1,601,000, ($15,000 of which was paid in 1999).
2. Loan Brokerage Fee to be paid to the General Partners or their
affiliates for their services in negotiating and obtaining permanent financing
on properties from an unaffiliated lender, in an amount equal to 1% of the
principal amount of the financing or refinancing, which would be reduced to the
extent any other loan brokerage fee is paid to any other loan broker in
connection with the transaction. Loan Brokerage Fees paid to the General
Partners and their affiliates through December 31, 1999 totaled $96,000 ($25,000
of which was paid in 1999).
3. The Corporate General Partner made advances to Registrant during
1997, 1998 and 1999 to cover operating deficits and capital expenditures. At
December 31, 1999, these advances totaled $3,162,000 and accrue interest at
prime plus 1% (9.50% at December 31, 1999). Interest paid or accrued to the
Corporate General Partner for 1999 totaled $237,000.
4. The General Partners are entitled to receive a percentage of
distributions of Cash Flow from Operations and Cash from Sales and Refinancing
with respect to any fiscal year. The General Partners
19
<PAGE>
have agreed to reduce their share of any future distributions to 1%. No such
distributions were made during 1999 and none are expected in 2000.
Registrant and WMMI, a subsidiary of Westrec Financial, have entered
into management agreements, a copy of the form of which is included as an
exhibit to Registrant's Registration Statement, SEC Registration Statement No.
33-21021. Under the terms of those agreements, WMMI will receive as
compensation for its management services a property management fee, payable
monthly, in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 6% of the "Gross Revenue" from
operations of the properties and (ii) 6% of the Net Sales Revenue from
operations of the properties. The term "Gross Revenue" means all receipts (net
of security deposits returned to the tenants) of Registrant from the operations
of the properties, including without limitation, rental payments of lessees of
space in the marinas, vending machine or concessionaire revenues, maintenance
charges, if any, paid by the tenants of the marinas in addition to basic rent,
parking fees, if any, revenues from boat rentals or campground rentals, if any,
and rental payments received under any subleases, but excluding all revenues
from the sale of goods or merchandise (other than vending machine and
concessionaire revenues), including gasoline. The term "Net Sales Revenue"
means all receipts of Registrant from the properties from the sale of goods or
merchandise (other than vending machine and concessionaire revenues), including
gasoline, minus the direct cost of the goods sold (not including any overhead
costs of Registrant). The management fee will cover, without additional expense
to Registrant, the time WMMI's executive officers expend on project management
and WMMI's overhead costs such as its expenses for rent, utilities and servicing
of Registrant's accounts payable. During 1999, $130,000 was paid or accrued by
Registrant to WMMI pursuant to the management agreements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Partners
Tower Park Marina Investors, L.P.,
(formerly PS Marina Investors I),
a California Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tower Park Marina Investors,
L.P. (formerly PS Marina Investors I), a California Limited Partnership, as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of operations, partners'
deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1999. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in
the accompanying index at Item 14 (a). These financial statements and schedule
are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Tower Park Marina Investors,
L.P. (formerly PS Marina Investors I), a California Limited Partnership, at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in
our opinion the related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in
all material respects the information set forth thereon.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes 2 and 6,
the Partnership's property is not generating a satisfactory level of cash flow
and cash flow projections do not indicate significant improvement in the near
term. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's
ability to recover the carrying value of its assets (notwithstanding the write-
down of the marina facility to its net realizable value) and to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
possible inability of the Partnership to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters
------------------------------------------------------------------
Description of the Partnership
------------------------------
Tower Park Marina Investors, L.P. (formerly PS Marina Investors I), a
California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), was organized under the
California Revised Limited Partnership Act, pursuant to a Certificate of
Limited Partnership filed on January 6, 1988 to acquire, own, and operate
and to a lesser extent, develop marina facilities.
The General Partners in the Partnership are Westrec Investors, Inc.
(formerly PS Marina Investors, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westrec
Properties, Inc. ("Westrec"), and B. Wayne Hughes, a shareholder of Westrec
until June 1990. Effective March 1, 1997, the limited partners approved
the substitution of Tower Park Marina Operating Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Westrec Financial, Inc., for Mr. Hughes.
The Partnership was formed to sell a maximum of 12,000 units of limited
partnership interest at $5,000 per unit ($60,000,000). The General
Partners have contributed a total of $1,000. On November 27, 1989, the
Partnership's offering was terminated with 4,508 units issued, resulting in
$22,540,000 of limited partner funds being raised (before commission
discount of $3,000 granted to an investor). Half of each Limited Partner's
total capital contribution was deferred. The final installment was due on
August 1, 1990, and $76,000 of such deferrals remain outstanding.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from these estimates.
Net Realizable Value Reserve
----------------------------
As of December 31, 1999 the Partnership owns Tower Park Marina. A net
realizable value reserve of $2,193,000 was established at December 31, 1995
to reduce the carrying value of Tower Park Marina to its then estimated net
realizable value. No addition to this reserve has been considered
necessary since the Partnership has determined that, based on current cash
flows, estimated future cash flows will be sufficient to recover the
carrying value of the marina.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters
------------------------------------------------------------------
(continued)
-----------
Taxes Based on Income
---------------------
Taxes based on income are the responsibility of the individual partners
and, accordingly, are not reflected in the accompanying financial
statements.
Segment Reporting
-----------------
Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".
Statement No. 131 establishes standards for the way public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information
about operating segments in interim financial reports. Statement No. 131
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas, and major customers. As management views the
Partnership as operating in a single business segment as described in Note
1, the adoption of Statement No. 131 did not result in additional
disclosure of segment information.

2. Tower Park Marina
-----------------
Tower Park Marina, located in the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta near
Sacramento, California, includes the purchase price of the property and
related acquisition and closing costs. The Partnership pays an acquisition
fee of 6% of the contract purchase price of the marina facility, plus a
development fee of 6% of the cost of improvements made. Capitalized as a
cost of Tower Park Marina were development fees paid to Westrec of $15,000
and $6,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. At
December 31, Tower Park Marina comprised the following:

The Partnership's marina is not generating satisfactory levels of cash
flows and cash flow projections do not indicate significant improvement in
the near term. These matters raise substantial doubt about the
Partnership's ability to recover the carrying value of its assets, (not
withstanding the write-down of the marina facility to its net realizable
value) and to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability
of the Partnership to continue as a going concern.

4. Notes Payable (continued)
-------------------------
Between September 1991 and June 1999, no payments had been made on the note
secured by Tower Park Marina. Throughout 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the
Partnership was involved in various negotiations with the lender, a
financial institution, and its successor, Resolution Trust Corporation
("RTC"), to restructure or otherwise settle the note. In January 1995, the
RTC sold the note as part of a sales initiative to a third party. The note
was immediately sold to an affiliate of the individual general partner.
The Partnership entered into an option agreement to purchase the note from
its current holder for its cost ($1,700,000) plus carrying costs which
expired on April 10, 1996. In connection with the substitution of Tower
Park Marina Operating Corporation for Mr. Hughes as General Partner, the
affiliate of Mr. Hughes which holds the note, entered into a new option
agreement with the Partnership, which allows the Partnership to purchase
the note secured by Tower Park Marina, for the affiliate's cost,
$1,700,000, plus $68,000 of accrued unpaid interest.
. As of December 31, 1998, the note was reflected on the Partnership's
balance sheet at its face value of $6,665,000 with an additional $3,199,000
being shown as accrued unpaid interest. The option was initially for a
one-year period expiring on February 28, 1998. The Partnership extended
the option agreement for one year in February 1998 by paying the affiliate
$50,000, which was applied as a reduction in the principal amount due.
The Partnership extended the option agreement for one additional year by
making an additional $50,000 principal payment in February 1999. On July
1, 1999 the Partnership completed the refinancing of Tower Park and
exercised its option to repay the note payable for $1,600,000. As a
result, the Partnership recognized a gain of $8,515,000 from the
forgiveness of debt.
The new note payable was for an initial amount of $2,000,000, with an
additional $500,000 available to make improvements to the property. As of
December 31, 1999, $100,000 had been borrowed for capital improvements.
The loan accrues interest at 9.34% and requires monthly principal and
interest payments of $23,000. The loan is due on July 1, 2004. Interest
paid on these notes for the year ended December 31, 1999, 1998, 1997 was
$147,000, $133,000, and $193,000, respectively.
In connection with the refinancing of the Partnership's note payable during
1999 the General Partner was paid $25,000 of loan brokerage fees in
accordance with the Partnership agreement.
Based on the market rate of the mortgage note, the fair value at December
31, 1999 is deemed to be the carrying value.

5. Related Party Transactions
--------------------------
The Partnership has an agreement with Westrec Marina Management, Inc., an
affiliate of Westrec, to manage the day-to-day operations of the marinas
for a fee equal to 6% of the marinas' monthly gross revenues (as defined).
Management fees for the year ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were
$130,000, $121,000 and $132,000, respectively.
In connection with funding operating deficits and with the acquisition of
marina facilities, funds have been borrowed from Westrec. These borrowings
accrue interest at the prime rate plus 1% (9.50% at December 31, 1999).
Total interest paid or accrued to Westrec for the year ended December 31,
1999, 1998, and 1997 was $237,000, $166,000 and $122,000, respectively.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
-----------------------------
In November 1991, contamination was discovered in the area surrounding a
fuel storage tank at Tower Park Marina. Environmental consultants have
been engaged to perform sampling to determine the extent of the
contamination. Presently, sufficient data has not been obtained to
estimate the cost of remediation, consequently no loss accrual has been
made in the financial statements.
The operations at Tower Park Marina are influenced by factors that affect
the boating industry both locally and nationally, with activity at Tower
Park Marina increasing seasonally during the period April through October
of each year.
The Partnership operates a portion of Tower Park Marina on approximately 14
acres of waterfront property under a lease with the California State Land
Commission (the "CSLC Lease"). Effective January 1, 1999 the CSLC Lease
was extended until December 31, 2023. The CSLC Lease provides for an
annual rent based on gross receipts, with a minimum annual rent of $40,000,
payable in advance in quarterly installments of $10,000. Rent expense
associated with the CSLC Lease is included in cost of operations and was
$40,000, $33,000 and $42,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997.

</TABLE>
$ 965,000
==========
The Partnership's ability to continue to operate through 2000 and beyond is
contingent on, among other factors, the improvement in Tower Park Marina
operations and continued advances from the General Partners. Management's plans
include the expenditure of approximately $500,000 (unaudited) in additional
repairs and capital improvements during 2000, which management believes will
continue to improve the operations of the property. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Partnership to
continue as a going concern.
