Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Total revenues for the first nine months decreased $636,000 (29.8%) when
compared to the same period in 1997. The majority of the decrease ($640,000) is
due to the loss of rental revenue caused by the foreclosure of the KC Club
Apartments. Rental revenue for the first nine months at the Greenhills Bicycle
Club Apartments increased $53,000 (3.5%) when compared to the same period in
1997. This increase is due to a strong rental market, which allowed the
Partnership to increase rental rates upon lease renewals. These higher market
rates are being achieved with fewer rent concessions. Interest revenue decreased
$49,000 (80.6%) from 1997. The decrease in interest revenue was caused by the
August 1997 sale of the Treasury certificate of accrual held by the partnership
as collateral for the KC Club Apartments.
Operating expenses for the first nine months of 1998 decreased $390,000 (46.0%)
compared to the same period in 1997. Of the total decrease, $362,000 relates to
the foreclosure of the KC Club Apartments. Operating expenses at the Greenhills
Bicycle Club decreased by $28,000. The decrease is due primarily to a reduction
in payroll, utilities and insurance expenses. There was not a full-time manager
salary for the entire year, resulting in a decrease in payroll expense. Utility
expenses decreased primarily due to lower usage of utilities in vacant units.
Nichols Resources entered into a new insurance contract in August 1998. The new
contract is at a lower rate, resulting in a decrease in insurance expense in
1998.
Professional service expense increased $66,000 (113,5%) compared to the first
nine months of 1997. The majority of the increase is due to legal fees in
connection with the foreclosure of the KC Club Apartments and other partnership
related matters.
Management fee expense for the first nine months decreased by $31,000 (30.0%)
compared to the same period in 1997. The decrease is due to the foreclosure of
the KC Club Apartments. Management fees for the Greenhills Bicycle Club
Apartments increased slightly from 1997 due to the increase in rental revenue.
General and administrative property operating expenses decreased $11,000 (27.6%)
when compared to the first nine months of last year. General and administrative
expenses for the first nine months of 1998 decreased $20,000 due to the
foreclosure of the KC Club Apartments. General and administrative expenses at
the Greenhills Bicycle Club Apartments increased $9,000 for the same period. The
increase was due primarily to an increase in screening expense and collection
fees. The increase in screening expense is offset by an increase reported in
application income. The increase in collection fees is due to increased
collection efforts. License fees also increased due to zoning requirements for
directional signage for the Greenhills Bicycle Club Apartments.
Interest expense decreased $291,000 (34.2%) and depreciation and amortization
expense decreased $133,000 (29.5%) when compared to the first nine months of
last year. The decrease in interest expense and depreciation and amortization
expense due to the foreclosure of the KC Club Apartments is $278,000 and
$137,000 respectively.
The Partnership anticipates that the operating results for the first nine months
will be representative of the results for the remaining portion of the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first nine months of 1998, $258,172 of working capital was provided
by operations, $138,415 was consumed in investing activities and $227,673 was
used for financing activities.
As a result of the foreclosure of the KC Club Apartments, the liquidity and
financial condition of the Partnership is expected to improve. The cash
generated from operations for the KC Club Apartments was insufficient to service
the mortgage on the property. The 1997 Net Operating Income after interest
expense of the the remaining property, the Greenhill Bicycle Club Apartments,
was $395,000.
11
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources - cont'd
Based upon the above, the General Partners feel that adequate working capital is
available to maintain the solvency of this entity. In addition, the General
Partners also anticipate that 1998 cash flow from operations will continue to
improve because of strong occupancy, rental rate increases and stabilized
expenses.
The General Partners have determined it prudent to discontinue cash
distributions until such time that adequate working capital and capital
improvements reserves are in place.
Year 2000:
Management is in the process of evaluating the risks associated with potential
Year 2000 computer problems. It is our opinion that the potential on-site Year
2000 problems at the Greenhills Bicycle Club apartments will not have a material
impact on property operations. The computer and on-site software utilized in the
day to day operations of the property have been upgraded as of January 12, 1999
at a cost of approximately $4,000 with a Year 2000 compliant software. No
additional material expenditures are planned at this time for Year 2000
compliance. There are no known non-information technology systems (elevators,
fire alarms, security systems etc.) on-site that would be impacted by a Year
2000 problem. There are no elevators, central fire alarm systems or central
security systems on the property. Management believes that the mission critical
systems are prepared for the Year 2000, and non-critical systems are being
evaluated.
Management believes the worst case scenario that could impact property
operations would be if third-party utility providers (electricity and water)
failed to provide services to the property due to a Year 2000 problem in their
systems. Management has contacted the utility providers, received and reviewed
their plans to address potential Year 2000 issues. Management believes the
likelihood of the utility companies failure to provide services is remote, and
as such, management has not developed contingency plans to deal with this
possibility. Management believes that if the utility companies fail to provide
services, the failure will be system-wide, and not confined to the property and
therefore the investment value of the property will not be impacted.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
a) Foreclosure:
As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership was in negotiations with the mortgage
holder on KC Club Apartments concerning a restructure of that debt. More
favorable interest rates and possible principal write downs were under
consideration. Due to the inability to restructure the debt, on January 7, 1998
the property was lost to foreclosure.
The assets and liabilities as of January 7, 1998 that were applicable to the
foreclosed property approximated the following:
Investment properties, net of accumulated depreciation $3,388,000
Other assets 84,000
Mortgage payable, including accrued interest (3,992,000)
Other liabilities (259,000)
Rental revenue for the KC Club Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1997
was $853,000 while operating expenses (including interest) were $1,160,000.
b) Change in control:
On July 21st, 1998, Nichols Resources Ltd., a general partner of the Partnership
("Nichols"), Bond Purchase, L.L.C. ("Bond") and David L. Johnson ("Johnson ")
and other affiliates of Johnson, along with the Partnership, SIR Partners III,
L.P., General Partner of the Partnership ("SIR Partners III"), SPECS, Inc., the
company which provides the Partnership management and investor services
("SPECS") and James R. Hoyt, Managing General Partner of the Partnership
("Hoyt"), entered into a certain Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the
"Agreement"). The Agreement settled a dispute which had arisen between Nichols,
SIR Partners III and Hoyt, general partners of the Partnership over the proper
course of action to be taken for the Partnership. This dispute resulted in the
filing of a civil action in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Nichols has agreed (i) to pay $100,000 in cash to SIR
Partners III and Hoyt, $21,751 of which will be paid by Hoyt to the Partnership
to pay a receivable owed by affiliates of the Partnership for unpaid excess
syndication costs and expenses currently shown on the Partnership=s financial
statements and (ii) to dismiss the civil actions filed. In exchange for the
$100,000 in cash and the dismissal of the civil actions, SIR Partners III and
Hoyt have agreed (i) to transfer their General Partnership interests to Nichols
and (ii) to withdraw as Managing General Partner and general partners. Under the
Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated
December 6, 1988 (the "Partnership Agreement"), such transfers and withdrawals
are subject to the majority vote of the Partnership's limited partners (the
"Limited Partners"). Hoyt and SIR Partners III have also agreed that Nichols, as
general partner of the Partnership, shall have the right to designate the
management company to manage the assets of the Partnership and to execute all
documents to effectuate the release of the current management contract.
Nichols, as a general partner of the Partnership, intends to call for a vote
without a meeting of the Limited Partners, file a proxy statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and solicit proxies from the Limited Partners
to seek approval from the Limited Partners to the transfer of the general
partnership interests, the withdrawal of Hoyt and SIR Partners III as general
partners of the Partnership and the replacement of Hoyt as Managing General
Partner in favor of Nichols. Hoyt and SIR Partners III have agreed to use their
best efforts to assist in obtaining approval from the limited partners of the
withdrawal of Hoyt and SIR Partners III as General Partners of the partnership.
In the event the majority approval is obtained, Nichols shall be the sole
general partner of the Partnership.
