Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(1) Liquidity
As of September 30, 2003, Registrant had cash of
approximately $260,841. The Registrant expects that those funds plus
the cash generated from operations at each property will be sufficient
to fund the operating expenses of the properties. The Registrant is
not aware of any additional sources of liquidity.
As of September 30, 2003, Registrant had restricted cash
of $27,902 consisting primarily of funds held as security deposits,
replacement reserves and escrows for taxes and insurance. As a
consequence of the restrictions as to use, Registrant does not deem
these funds to be a source of liquidity.
(2) Capital Resources
Any capital expenditures needed are generally replacement
items and are funded out of cash from operations. The Registrant is
not aware of any factors which would cause historical capital
expenditure levels not to be indicative of capital requirements in the
future and accordingly does not believe that it will have to commit
material resources to capital investment for the foreseeable future.
(3) Results of Operations
During the third quarter of 2003, Registrant incurred a
loss of $27,943 ($3.34 per limited partnership unit) compared to a
loss of $29,366 ($3.51 per limited partnership unit) for the same
period in 2002. For the first nine months of 2003, the Registrant
incurred a loss of $106,933 ($12.78 per limited partnership unit)
compared to a loss of $99,074 ($11.84 per limited partnership unit)
for the same period in 2002.
Rental income increased $5,352 from $45,313 in the third
quarter of 2002 to $50,665 in the same period of 2003 and increased
$5,690 from $148,480 for the first nine months of 2002 to $154,170 in
the same period of 2003. The increase in rental income from the third
quarter of 2002, compared to the same period in 2003, is due to an
increase in average occupancy at the Brass Works (90% to 97%) and
Locke Mill Plaza (66% to 90%). The increase in rental income from the
first nine months of 2002, compared to the same period in 2003 is due
to an increase in average occupancy at the Brass Works (92% to 96%),
partially offset by a decrease in average occupancy at Locke Mille
Plaza (84% to 82%).
Interest income decreased $885 from $1,401 in the third
quarter of 2002 to $516 in the same period in 2003, and decreased
$2,016 from $4,321 for the first nine months of 2002 to $2,305 in the
same period of 2003. The decrease in interest income for both the
third quarter and the first nine months of 2002, compared to the same
periods in 2003, is due to a decrease in money market interest rates.
Rental operations expense decreased $3,336 from $34,574
in the third quarter of 2002 to $31,238 in the same period in 2003.
The decrease from the third quarter of 2002, compared to the same
period in 2003, is due to a decrease in leasing commissions and wages
and salaries expense at Locke Mill, partially offset by an increase in
maintenance expense at the Brass Works. The decrease in leasing
commissions at Locke Mill is due to a decrease in turnover of
apartment units. The decrease in wages and salaries expense at Locke
Mill is due to a decrease in payroll taxes and maintenance salaries.
The increase in maintenance expense at Brass Works is due to an
increase in apartment preparation expenses.
Rental operations expense increased $7,120 from
$130,495 for the first nine months of 2002 to $137,615 in the same
period in 2003. The increase from the first nine months 2002,
compared to the same period in 2003, is due to an increase in
maintenance expense and miscellaneous operating expense at the Brass
Works and an increase in condominium fees at Locke Mill. The increase
in maintenance expense at Brass Works is due to an increase in snow
removal, maintenance service and apartment preparation expenses. The
increase in miscellaneous operating expense at Brass Works is due to
an increase in collection fees and office expense. The increase in
condominium fees at Locke Mill is due to an increase in budgeted
operating expenses.
During the third quarter of 2003, the Registrant's two
properties broke even, compared to a loss of approximately $8,000 for
the same period in 2002. For the first nine months of 2002, the
Registrant's two properties incurred a loss of approximately $28,000
compared to a loss of approximately $20,000 for the same period in
2002.
In the third quarter of 2003, Registrant recognized
income of $8,000 at the Brass Works, including $13,000 of depreciation
expense, compared to income of $8,000 including $13,000 of
depreciation expense in the third quarter of 2002. Rental income
increased, offset by an increase in maintenance expense. The increase
in rental income is due to an increase in average occupancy (90% to
97%). The increase in maintenance expense is due to an increase in
apartment preparation expenses.
In the first nine months of 2003, Registrant incurred a
loss of $3,000 at the Brass Works, including $38,000 of depreciation
expense, compared to income of $3,000, including $38,000 of
depreciation expense for the same period in 2002. The decrease in net
income from the first nine months of 2002, compared to the same period
in 2003, is due to increases in maintenance expense and miscellaneous
operating expense, partially offset by an increase in rental income.
The increase in maintenance expense is due to an increase in snow
removal, maintenance service and apartment preparation expenses. The
increase in miscellaneous operating expense is due to an increase in
collection fees and office expense. The increase in rental income is
due to an increase in average occupancy (92% to 96%).
In the third quarter of 2003, Registrant incurred a loss
of $8,000 at Locke Mill Plaza, including $7,000 of depreciation
expense, compared to a loss of $16,000, including $7,000 of
depreciation expense, in the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in
loss from the third quarter of 2002, compared to the same period in
2003, is due to an increase in rental income, a decrease in leasing
commissions and a decrease in wages and salaries. The increase in
rental income is due to an increase in average occupancy (66% to 90%).
The decrease in leasing commission is due to a decrease in turnover of
apartment units during the third quarter of 2003. The decrease in
wages and salaries expense is due to a decrease in payroll taxes and
maintenance salaries.
In the first nine months of 2003, Registrant incurred a
loss of $25,000 at Locke Mill Plaza, including $21,000 of depreciation
expense, compared to a loss of $23,000 including $21,000 of
depreciation expense for the same period in 2002. The increase in loss
from the third quarter of 2002, compared to the same period in 2003,
is due to a decrease in rental income and an increase in condominium
fees. The decrease in rental income is due to a decrease in average
occupancy for the first nine months (84% to 82%). The increase in
condominium fees is due to an increase in budgeted operating expenses.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our managing partner's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance
of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-
benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision of our managing partner's principal
executive officer and principal financial officer we have carried out
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our adopted disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based upon that evaluation, our managing partner's president and
treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.
There have been no significant changes in our internal
controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter.
