(1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
BRAUVIN HIGH YIELD FUND L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Delaware
limited partnership which was organized for the purpose of
acquiring debt-free ownership of existing, free-standing, income-
producing retail, office and industrial real estate properties
predominantly subject to "triple-net" leases. The General Partners
of the Partnership are Brauvin Realty Advisors, Inc. and Jerome J.
Brault. Brauvin Realty Advisors, Inc. is owned primarily by
Messrs. Brault (beneficially) (44%) and Cezar M. Froelich (44%).
Mr. Froelich resigned as a director of the Corporate General
Partner in December 1994 and as an individual General Partner
effective as of September 17, 1996. Brauvin Securities, Inc., an
affiliate of the General Partners, was the selling agent of the
Partnership. The Partnership is managed by an affiliate of the
General Partners.
The Partnership was formed on January 6, 1987 and filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission which became effective on September 4, 1987.
The sale of the minimum of $1,200,000 of depository units
representing beneficial assignments of limited partnership
interests of the Partnership (the "Units") necessary for the
Partnership to commence operations was achieved on November 18,
1987. The Partnership's offering closed on May 19, 1988. A total
of $25,000,000 of Units were subscribed for and issued between
September 4, 1987 and May 19, 1988, pursuant to the Partnership's
public offering. Through September 30, 2003 the Partnership had
sold $27,922,102 of Units. This total includes $2,922,102 of Units
purchased by Interest Holders who utilized their distributions of
Operating Cash Flow to purchase additional Units through the
distribution reinvestment plan (the "Plan"). Units valued at
$1,647,070 have been repurchased by the Partnership from Interest
Holders liquidating their investment in the Partnership and have
been retired as of September 30, 2003. As of September 30, 2003,
the Plan participants have acquired Units under the Plan which
approximate 10% of total Units outstanding.
The Partnership acquired the land and buildings underlying 20
Taco Bell restaurants, 11 Ponderosa restaurants and two Children's
World Learning Centers. The Partnership also acquired 1%, 49%,
23.4% and 16% equity interests in four joint ventures with three
entities affiliated with the Partnership. These ventures owned the
land and buildings underlying six Ponderosa restaurants, a
Scandinavian Health Spa, a CompUSA store and a Blockbuster Video
store, respectively.
Prior to 1999, the Partnership sold its interest in one Ponderosa
owned through a Joint Venture. In 1999, the Partnership sold one
of its Taco Bell units. In addition, two Ponderosa restaurants
were sold in 1999 by the Partnership, and the Partnership also sold
its joint venture interests in the CompUSA store and the
Blockbuster Video Store.
Pursuant to the approval of the "Special Master" and the United
States District Court, on August 7, 2000, an affiliated entity
purchased all but one of the Partnership's remaining properties
resulting in net proceeds to the Partnership of approximately
$11,681,000. The Partnership sold its sole remaining property to
an affiliate in January 2001 for a contract price of $175,000.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management's Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Basis of Accounting
As a result of the settlement agreement (see Note 5), which was
approved by the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois on June 18, 1999, the Partnership began the
liquidation process and, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, the Partnership's financial statements for
periods subsequent to June 18, 1999 have been prepared on the
liquidation basis of accounting. Accordingly, the carrying values
of assets are presented at estimated net realizable amounts and
liabilities are presented at estimated settlement amounts,
including estimated costs associated with carrying out the
liquidation. Preparation of the financial statements on a
liquidation basis requires significant assumptions by management,
including the estimate of liquidation costs and the resolution of
any contingent liabilities. There may be differences between the
assumptions and the actual results because events and circumstances
frequently do not occur as expected. Those differences, if any,
could result in a change in the net assets recorded in the
statement of net assets as of September 30, 2003.
Accounting Method
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using
the accrual method of accounting.
Federal Income Taxes
Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the
Partnership's income and losses are reportable by the partners on
their respective income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision is
made for Federal income taxes in the financial statements.
However, in certain instances, the Partnership has been required
under applicable state law to remit directly to the tax authorities
amounts representing withholding from distributions paid to
partners.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt
instruments with an original maturity within three months of
purchase.
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments
is made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts
have been determined by using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable
judgement is necessarily required in interpreting market data to
develop estimates of fair value.
The fair value estimates are based on information available to
management but may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts
that the Partnership could realize in a current market exchange.
The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies
may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The carrying amounts of the following items are a reasonable
estimate of fair value: cash and cash equivalents, due from
affiliate accounts payable and accrued expenses, and reserve for
estimated cost during the period of liquidation.
Derivatives and Hedging Instruments
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("SFAS 133"), which requires that all derivatives be recognized as
assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and be measured at fair
value. SFAS 133 also requires changes in fair value of derivatives
to be recorded each period in current earnings or comprehensive
income depending on the intended use of the derivatives. In June,
2000, the FASB issued SFAS 138, which amends the accounting and
reporting standards of SFAS 133 for certain derivatives and certain
hedging activities. SFAS 133 and SFAS 138 were adopted by the
Partnership effective January 1, 2001. The Partnership had no
derivatives in 2003 or 2002.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). SFAS 141
requires the purchase method of accounting for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the
pooling-of-interests method. In July 2001, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which was effective January
1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance
of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes
provisions for the reclassification of certain existing
intangibles, reassessment of the useful lives of existing
intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of
previously reported goodwill and the identification of reporting
units for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of
goodwill.
Application of the statements to future acquisitions, if any,
could result in the recognition, upon acquisition, of additional
intangible assets (acquired in-place lease origination costs and
acquired above market leases) and liabilities (acquired below
market leases), which would be amortized over the remaining terms
of the acquired leases.
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations"
("SFAS 143"), which is effective for years beginning after June 15,
2002. SFAS 143 requires recognition of a liability and associated
asset for the fair value of costs arising from legal obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. The
asset is to be allocated to expense over its estimated useful life.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which was effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 supersedes FASB
Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS
144 retains the recognition and measurement requirements of SFAS
121, but resolves significant SFAS 121 implementation issues. In
addition, it applies to a segment of a business accounted for as a
discontinued operation.
In April 2002, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 145, "Recession of FASB Statements No. 4, 44,
Amendment of FASB No. 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS 145").
Generally, the recission of FASB No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses
from Extinguishment of Debt" would require that debt extinguishment
costs are to no longer be treated as extraordinary items. The
amendment to FASB No. 13, "Accounting for Leases" requires sale-
leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have the
economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions.
This statement is generally effective for the year ending December
31, 2003.
In November 2002, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45,
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45).
FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in
its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations
under certain guarantees that it has issued and clarifies that a
guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of the guarantee,
a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement
provisions of FIN 45 are applicable to guarantees issued or
modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of
FIN 45 are effective for periods ending after December 15, 2002.
In January 2003, FASB issued interpretation No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). FIN 46
addresses consolidation by business enterprises of certain variable
interest entities in which the equity investors do not have the
characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have
sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other
parties. FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created
after January 31, 2003 and to such entities in which the interest
was acquired prior to February 1, 2003 commencing with financial
statements issued after December 15, 2003.
The Partnership does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 143,
144 and 145 and FIN 45 and 46, has a significant impact on its
financial statements.
(2) PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
Distributions
All Operating Cash Flow, as defined in the Partnership Agreement
(the "Agreement"), shall be distributed: (a) first, to the
Interest Holders until the Interest Holders receive an amount equal
to their 10% Current Preferred Return, as such term is defined in
the Agreement; and (b) thereafter, any remaining amounts will be
distributed 98% to the Interest Holders and 2% to the General
Partners. The net proceeds of a sale or refinancing of a
Partnership property shall be distributed as follows:
* first, to the Interest Holders until each Interest Holder has
been paid an amount equal to the 10% Cumulative Preferred
Return, as defined in the Agreement;

been paid an amount equal to his Adjusted Investment, as
defined in the Agreement;
* third, to the General Partners until they have been paid an
amount equal to a 2% preferred return; and
* fourth, 95% of any remaining Net Sale or Refinancing Proceeds,
as such term is defined in the Agreement, to the Interest
Holders and the remaining 5% to the General Partners.
Profits and Losses
Net profits and losses from operations of the Partnership
(computed without regard to any allowance for depreciation or cost
recovery deductions under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code")) for each taxable year of the Partnership
shall be allocated 98% to the Interest Holders and 2% to the
General Partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all depreciation
and cost recovery deductions allowed under the Code shall be
allocated 2% to the General Partners and 98% to the Taxable
Interest Holders, as defined in the Agreement.
The net profit of the Partnership from any sale or other
disposition of a Partnership property shall be allocated (with
ordinary income being allocated first) as follows: (a) first, an
amount equal to the aggregate deficit balances of the Partners'
Capital Accounts, as such term is defined in the Agreement, shall
be allocated to each Partner who or which has a deficit Capital
Account balance in the same ratio as the deficit balance of such
Partner's Capital Account bears to the aggregate of the deficit
balances of all Partners' Capital Accounts; (b) second, to the
Interest Holders until the Interest Holders have been allocated
profits equal to their 10% Cumulative Preferred Return; (c) third,
to the Interest Holders until the Interest Holders have been
allocated an amount of profit equal to the amount of their Adjusted
Investment; (d) fourth, to the General Partners until such time as
they have been allocated profits equal to a 2% preferred return;
and (e) thereafter, 95% to the Interest Holders and 5% to the
General Partners. The net loss of the Partnership from any sale or
other disposition of a Partnership property shall be allocated as
follows: (a) first, an amount equal to the aggregate positive
balances in the Partners' Capital Accounts, to each Partner in the
same ratio as the positive balance in such Partner's Capital
Account bears to the aggregate of all Partners' positive Capital
Accounts balances; and(b) thereafter, 98% to the Interest Holders
and 2% to the General Partners.
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
An affiliate of the General Partners managed the Partnership's
real estate properties for an annual management fee equal to up to
1% of gross revenues derived from the properties. The property
management fee was subordinated, annually, to receipt by the
Interest Holders of an annual 10% non-cumulative, non-compounded
return on Adjusted Investment (as defined).
The Partnership paid affiliates of the General Partners selling
commissions of 8-1/2% of the capital contributions received for
Units sold by the affiliates.
An affiliate of one of the former General Partners provided
securities and real estate counsel to the Partnership.
The Partnership paid an affiliate of the General Partners an
acquisition fee in the amount of up to 4.5% of the gross proceeds
of the Partnership's offering for the services rendered in
connection with the process pertaining to the acquisition of
properties. Acquisition fees related to the properties not
ultimately purchased by the Partnership were expensed as incurred.
Fees, commissions and other expenses paid or payable to the
General Partners or its affiliates for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:
2003 2002
Reimbursable operating
expenses $59,780 $61,125
As of September 30, 2003 the Partnership was owed $7,265 from an
affiliate. The Partnership received this reimbursement in October,
2003.
(4) WORKING CAPITAL RESERVES
The Partnership had set aside 1% of the gross proceeds of its
public offering as a working capital reserve, which was
subsequently reduced to 1/2% ($125,000) which is included in cash
and cash equivalents at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.
(5) LITIGATION
Two legal actions against the Partnership, the General Partners
and affiliates of such General Partners, in connection with the
merger have been settled. On April 13, 1999, all the parties to
the litigation reached an agreement to settle the litigation and
the United States District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois approved the settlement on June 18, 1999. One additional
legal action, which was dismissed on January 28, 1998 had also been
brought against the General Partners and affiliates of such General
Partners, as well as the Partnership on a nominal basis in
connection with the merger.
On November 8, 2001, the Magistrate Judge for the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois ruled on the
plaintiff's legal fee petition. The plaintiff's attorneys
subsequently challenged this ruling. On July 19, 2002, the
Assigned Judge for the Northern District of Illinois affirmed the
legal fee petition ruling of the Magistrate Judge. The plaintiff's
attorneys appealed this ruling. On September 24, 2002, the
plaintiff's attorneys filed a Stipulation of Dismissal of their
appeal in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois,
and accordingly, the Partnership paid total plaintiff's attorney
fees and costs of $191,978 on September 24, 2002.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
General
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report that are not
historical fact constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Discussions containing forward-looking statements may be found in
this section and in the section entitled "Business." Without
limiting the foregoing, words such as "anticipates," "expects,"
"intends," "plans" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
The Partnership undertakes no obligation to update these forward-
looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Pursuant to the approval of the Special Master and the United
States District Court, on August 7, 2000, an affiliated entity
purchased all but one of the Partnership's properties resulting in
net proceeds to the Partnership of approximately $11,681,000. The
Partnership sold its sole remaining property to an affiliate in
January 2001 for a contract price of $175,000.
The Special Master approved total reserves for the Partnership in
the amount of $4.62 million or $1.758 per Unit. These reserves
were held by the Partnership; and the length of the reserve period
and the remaining amounts that will ultimately be distributed to
investors will depend on several factors not known at this time.
The Partnership intends to make a liquidating distribution to
Interest Holders from the net sale proceeds remaining from the
Partnership's properties after payment of all legal and operating
expenses. The Partnership may make partial distributions of the
proceeds prior to the final distribution. The timing of the
liquidating distribution has not yet been determined.
In the third quarter of 2000, the Partnership distributed
$7,061,000 (or $2.687 per Unit) from the sale of the assets.
On November 1, 2002, the Partnership made a distribution to the
Interest Holders in the amount of $729,295 (or $0.278 per Unit).
On November 8, 2001, the Magistrate Judge for the United States
district Court for the Northern District of Illinois ruled on the
plaintiff's legal fee petition. The plaintiff's attorneys
subsequently challenged this ruling. On July 19, 2002, the
Assigned Judge for the Northern District of Illinois affirmed the
legal fee petition ruling of the Magistrate Judge. The plaintiff's
attorneys appealed this ruling. On September 24, 2002, the
plaintiff's attorneys filed a Stipulation of Dismissal of their
appeal in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
The Partnership paid total plaintiff's attorney fees and costs of
$191,978 on September 24, 2002.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the
General Partners and their affiliates did not earn any management
fees, and did not receive any Operating Cash Flow distributions.
Results of Operations (Liquidation Basis) - Nine months ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002
As a result of the settlement agreement that was approved by
the United States District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois on June 18, 1999 the Partnership has begun the liquidation
process and, in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, the Partnership's
financial statements for periods subsequent to June 18, 1999 have
been prepared on a liquidation basis.
The Partnership had net loss of $44,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 compared to a net loss of $58,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease in net loss of
$14,000. The decrease in net loss is primarily the result of the
change in operating income and expenses as discussed in the
following paragraphs.
Total income was $32,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2003, compared to $69,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2002, a decline of $37,000. The $37,000 decline in interest
income is associated with a decline in interest rates on the
Partnership's investments and a decline in the amount of cash
available for investment.
Total expenses were $77,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2003, compared to $127,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2002, a decrease of $50,000. The change was due to a decline
in general and administrative expense as a result of the
Partnership reclassifying certain expenses to reduce the reserve
for estimated costs during liquidation. These expenses were
reclassified since the Partnership no longer has any operating
properties and the liquidation process has begun.
Results of Operations (Liquidation Basis) - Three months ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002
The Partnership had a net loss of $29,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 compared to net loss of $37,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease in net loss of
$8,000.
Total income was $9,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2003 compared to $23,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2002, a decline of $14,000. The decline in total income relates
primarily to interest income. Interest income declined by $13,000,
which is associated with a decline in interest rates on the
Partnership's investments.
Total expenses were $38,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 compared to $59,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, a decrease of $21,000. The change was due to
a decline in general and administrative expense as a result of the
Partnership reclassifying certain expenses to reduce the reserve
for estimated costs during liquidation. These expenses were
reclassified since the Partnership no longer has any operating
properties and the liquidation process has begun.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Partnership does not engage in any hedge transactions or
derivative financial instruments.
