Item 1. Business
The Partnership is a California limited partnership organized on June 14, 1984, which invests in first, second, third, wraparound and construction mortgage loans and loans on leasehold interest mortgages. In June 1985, the Partnership became the successor-in-interest to Owens Mortgage Investment Fund I, a California limited partnership formed in June 1983 with the same policies and objectives as the Partnership. In October 1992, the Partnership changed its name from Owens Mortgage Investment Partnership II to Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership. The address of the Partnership is P.O. Box 2400, 2221 Olympic Blvd., Walnut Creek, CA 94595. Its telephone number is (925) 935-3840.
Owens Financial Group, Inc. (the General Partner) makes, arranges or purchases all of the loans invested in by the Partnership. The Partnerships mortgage loans are secured by mortgages on unimproved, improved, income-producing and non-income-producing real property, such as apartments, shopping centers, office buildings, and other commercial or industrial properties. No single Partnership loan may exceed 10% of the total Partnership assets as of the date the loan is made.
The following table shows the total Partnership capital, mortgage investments and net income as of and for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

(1) | Approximately $19,979,000 was past maturity as of December 31, 2003. |
The average loan balance of the mortgage loan portfolio of $2,804,000 as of December 31, 2003 is considered by the General Partner to be a reasonable diversification of investments concentrated in mortgages secured by commercial properties. Of such investments, 11.3% earn a variable rate of interest and 88.7% earn a fixed rate of interest. All were negotiated according to the Partnerships investment standards.
As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership was invested in construction loans in the amount of approximately $22,044,000 and in loans secured by leasehold interests of $31,884,000. As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership has commitments to advance additional funds to borrowers of construction and other loans in the total amount of $23,182,000.
The Partnership has other assets in addition to its mortgage investments, comprised principally of the following:
o | $6,633,000 in cash and cash equivalents held for investment, required to transact the business of the Partnership and/or in conjunction with contingency reserve requirements; |
o | $28,558,000 in real estate held for sale and investment; and |
o | $3,952,000 in interest and other receivables. |
Delinquencies
The General Partner does not regularly examine the existing loan portfolio to see if acceptable loan-to-value ratios are being maintained because the majority of loans mature in a period of only 1-3 years. The General Partner will perform an internal review on a loan secured by property in the following circumstances:
o | payments on the loan become delinquent; |
o | the loan is past maturity; |
o | it learns of physical changes to the property securing the loan or to the area in which the property is located; or |
o | it learns of changes to the economic condition of the borrower or of leasing activity of the property securing the loan. |
A review includes a physical evaluation of the property securing the loan and the area in which the property is located, the financial stability of the borrower, and the propertys occupancy.
As of December 31, 2003, the Partnerships portfolio included $22,828,000 (compared with $26,327,000 as of December 31, 2002) of loans delinquent in payment greater than 90 days, representing 8.6% of the Partnerships investment in mortgage loans. Loans delinquent more than 90 days have historically represented between 3% to 10% of the total loans outstanding at any given time. The balance of delinquent loans at December 31, 2003 includes $4,363,000 (compared with $6,503,000 as of December 31, 2002) in the process of foreclosure and $1,600,000 (compared with $4,300,000 as of December 31, 2002) involving loans to borrowers who are in bankruptcy. The General Partner believes that these loans may result in a loss of principal and foregone interest. However, the General Partner believes that the $4,100,000 allowance for losses on loans which is maintained in the financial statements of the Partnership as of December 31, 2003 is sufficient to cover any potential losses of principal.
There was a $353,000 loss realized upon write-off of a Partnership loan and a $1,011,000 loss realized upon the foreclosure and subsequent sale of a property securing a loan during the year ended December 31, 2003 (allowances had been previously established for $1,353,000 of these losses). There was a $1,235,000 loss recognized on a motel property located in Phoenix, Arizona at the time of foreclosure in 2002 and an additional $175,000 upon the sale of the property in 2003. There was a total loss of $614,000 realized on two Partnership loans during the year ended December 31, 2001. There were no actual losses incurred on loans by the Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. However, the Partnership realized a loss on real estate in the amount of $712,000 from the sale of a foreclosed property to the General Partner at its fair market value during 1998.
Of the $26,327,000 that was delinquent as of December 31, 2002, $18,224,000 remained delinquent as of December 31, 2003, $1,100,000 was paid off, $4,300,000 became real estate acquired through foreclosure of the Partnership, $353,000 was written off as uncollectible and $2,350,000 was brought current.
Following is a table representing the Partnerships delinquency experience (over 90 days) as of December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and foreclosures by the Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003:

If the delinquency rate increases on loans held by the Partnership, the interest income of the Partnership will be reduced by a proportionate amount. For example, if an additional 10% of the Partnership loans become delinquent, the mortgage interest income of the Partnership would be reduced by approximately 10%. If a mortgage loan held by the Partnership is foreclosed on, the Partnership will acquire ownership of real property and the inherent benefits and detriments of such ownership.
Compensation to the General Partner
The General Partner receives various forms of compensation and reimbursement of expenses from the Partnership and compensation from borrowers under mortgage loans held by the Partnership.
Compensation and Reimbursement from the Partnership
Management Fees
Management fees to the General Partner are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and are determined at the sole discretion of the General Partner. The management fee is paid monthly and cannot exceed 2¾% annually of the average unpaid balance of the Partnerships mortgage loans at the end of each of the 12 months in the calendar year. Since this fee is paid monthly, it could exceed 2¾% in one or more months, but the total fee in any one year is limited to a maximum of 2¾%, and any amount paid above this must be repaid by the General Partner to the Partnership. The General Partner is entitled to receive a management fee on all loans, including those that are delinquent. The General Partner believes this is justified by the added effort associated with such loans. In order to maintain a competitive yield for the Partnership, the General Partner in the past has chosen not to take the maximum allowable compensation. A number of factors are considered in the General Partners monthly meeting to determine the yield to pay to partners. These factors include:
o | Interest rate environment and recent trends in interest rates on loans and similar investment vehicles; |
o | Delinquencies on Partnership loans; |
o | Level of cash held pending investment in mortgage loans; and |
o | Real estate activity, including net operating income from real estate and gains/losses from sales. |
Once the yield is set and all other items of tax basis income and expense are determined for a particular month, the management fees are also set for that month. Large fluctuations in the management fees paid to the General Partner are normally a result of extraordinary items of income or expense within the Partnership (such as gains or losses from sales of real estate, etc.) or fluctuations in the level of delinquent loans, since the majority of the Partnerships assets are invested in mortgage loans.
If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the year ended December 31, 2003, the management fees would have been $6,992,000 (increase of $1,863,000), which would have reduced net income allocated to limited partners by approximately 8.5%, and net income allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to $.07.
If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the management fees would have been $6,724,000 (increase of $3,108,000) and $6,287,000 (increase of $2,849,000), respectively, which would have reduced net income allocated to limited partners by approximately 14.3% and 13.0%, respectively, and net income allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentages to $.07 and $.07, respectively.
The maximum management fee permitted under the Partnership Agreement is 2¾% per year of the average upaid balance of mortgage loans. For the years 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003, the management fees were 1.85%, 1.48%, 1.46% and 2.01% of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans, respectively.
Servicing Fees
The General Partner has serviced all of the mortgage loans held by the Partnership and expects to continue this policy. The Partnership Agreement permits the General Partner to receive from the Partnership a monthly servicing fee, which, when added to all other fees paid in connection with the servicing of a particular loan, does not exceed the lesser of the customary, competitive fee in the community where the loan is placed for the provision of such mortgage services on that type of loan or up to 0.25% per annum of the unpaid balance of mortgage loans held by the Partnership. The General Partner has historically been paid the maximum servicing fee allowable.
Carried Interest
Based upon the Partnerships investment in mortgages of a minimum of 86.5% of capital contributions, the General Partner receives a carried interest of ½ of 1% of the aggregate capital accounts of the limited partners, which is additional compensation to the General Partner. The carried interest is increased each month by ½ of 1% of the net increase in the capital accounts of the limited partners. If there is a net decrease in the capital accounts for a particular month, no carried interest is allocated for that month and the allocation to carried interest is trued-up to the correct 0.5% amount in the next month that there is an increase in the net change in capital accounts. Thus, if the Partnership generates an annual yield on capital of the limited partners of 10%, the General Partner would receive additional distributions on its carried interest of approximately $150,000 per year if $300,000,000 of Units were outstanding. In addition, if the Partnership were liquidated, the General Partner could receive up to $1,500,000 in capital distributions without having made equivalent cash contributions as a result of its carried interest. These capital distributions, however, will be made only after the limited partners have received capital distributions equaling 100% of their capital contributions.
Reimbursement of Other Expenses
The General Partner is reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities and the actual cost of services of non-management and non-supervisory personnel related to the administration of the Partnership (subject to certain limitations contained in the Partnership Agreement).
Compensation from Borrowers
In addition to compensation from the Partnership, the General Partner also receives compensation from borrowers under the Partnerships mortgage loans arranged by the General Partner.
Loan Origination Fees
Loan origination fees, also called mortgage placement fees or points, are paid to the General Partner by the borrowers of loans held by the Partnership, with the exception of certain loans not originated by the General Partner. These fees are compensation for the evaluation, origination, extension and refinancing of loans for the borrowers and may be paid at the placement, extension or refinancing of the loan or at the time of final repayment of the loan. The amount of these fees is determined by competitive conditions and the General Partner and may have a direct effect on the interest rate borrowers are willing to pay the Partnership.
Late Payment Charges
All late payment charges paid by borrowers of delinquent mortgage loans, including additional interest and late payment fees, are retained by the General Partner. Generally, on the majority of the Partnerships loans, the late payment fee charged to the borrower for late payments is 10% of the payment amount. In addition, on the majority of the Partnerships loans, the additional interest charge required to be paid by borrowers once a loan is past maturity is in the range of 3%-5% (paid in addition to the pre-default interest rate).

The following table summarizes the compensation and reimbursed expenses paid to the General Partner or its affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, showing actual amounts and the maximum allowable amounts for management and servicing fees. No other compensation was paid to the General Partner during these periods. The fees were established by the General Partner and were not determined by arms-length negotiation.

* The management fees paid to the General Partner are determined by the General Partner within the limits set by the Partnership Agreement. An increase or decrease in the management fees paid directly impacts the yield paid to the partners.
Aggregate actual compensation paid by the Partnership and by borrowers to the General Partner during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, exclusive of expense reimbursement, was $12,960,000 and $10,731,000, respectively, or 4.6% and 3.8%, respectively, of partners capital. If the maximum amounts had been paid to the General Partner during these periods, the compensation, excluding reimbursements, would have been $14,823,000 and $13,839,000, respectively, or 5.2% and 4.9%, respectively, of partners capital, which would have reduced net income allocated to limited partners by approximately 8.5% and 14.3%, respectively.
Loan origination fees as a percentage of loans purchased by the Partnership were 4.0%, 4.2% and 4.3% for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Of the $6,829,000 in loan origination fees accrued during the year ended December 31, 2003, approximately $2,257,000 were back-end fees earned as of December 31, 2003 but will not be collected until the related loans are paid in full. Of the $5,815,000 in loan origination fees accrued during the year ended December 31, 2002, approximately $2,142,000 were back-end fees earned as of December 31, 2002 but will not be collected until the related loans are paid off in full. Of the $6,990,000 in loan origination fees accrued during the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately $225,000 were back-end fees earned as of December 31, 2001 but will not be collected until the related loans are paid off in full.
The General Partner believes that the maximum allowable compensation payable to the General Partner is commensurate with the services provided. However, in order to maintain a competitive yield for the Partnership, the General Partner in the past has chosen not to take the maximum allowable compensation. If it chooses to take the maximum allowable, the amount of net income available for distribution to limited partners would be reduced during each such year.
Principal Investment Objectives
The Partnership invests primarily in mortgage loans on commercial, industrial and residential income-producing real property and land. The General Partner arranges, makes and/or purchases all loans, which are then either made or purchased by the Partnership, on a loan-by-loan basis. Normally, when the Partnership has sufficient funds available to make or invest in a specific loan, the General Partner will give the Partnership priority in making or purchasing the loan over other persons to whom the General Partner may sell loans as a part of its business. However, there may be limited instances when another investor may be given priority over the Partnership to purchase a particular loan, such as when the particular loan does not meet all of the investment criteria of the Partnership or when the General Partner does not want to add more of a particular loan type to the Partnerships portfolio. Factors that further influence the General Partner in determining whether the Partnership has priority over other investors include the following:
o | All loans arranged by the General Partner which are secured by property located outside the State of California and that satisfy investment criteria of the Partnership will be acquired by the Partnership; and |
o | All hypothecation loans (also called wrap-around loans or all-inclusive deeds of trust) will be made or acquired by the Partnership. A hypothecation loan is one in which the security for the loan is the assignment of another secured promissory note. |
In December 2001, the Partnership obtained its California Finance Lender (CFL) license to enable it to fund loans directly to borrowers. Obtaining this license has not changed the business of the Partnership in any way or changed the duties of or fees paid to the General Partner. The main benefit of the Partnership receiving its CFL license is the quicker investment of proceeds from capital contributions and loan payoffs into new loans, which may increase the income earned by the Partnership.
The Partnerships two principal investment objectives are to preserve the capital of the Partnership and provide monthly cash distributions to the limited partners. It is not an objective of the Partnership to provide tax-sheltered income. Under the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner would be permitted to modify these investment objectives without the vote of limited partners but has no authority to do anything that would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business as a mortgage investment limited partnership.
The General Partner locates and identifies virtually all mortgages the Partnership invests in and makes all investment decisions on behalf of the Partnership in its sole discretion. The limited partners are not entitled to act on any proposed investment. In evaluating prospective investments, the General Partner considers such factors as the following:
o | the ratio of the amount of the investment to the value of the property by which it is secured; |
o | the propertys potential for capital appreciation; |
o | expected levels of rental and occupancy rates; |
o | current and projected cash flow generated by the property; |
o | potential for rental rate increases; |
o | the marketability of the investment; |
o | geographic location of the property; |
o | the condition and use of the property; |
o | the propertys income-producing capacity; |
o | the quality, experience and creditworthiness of the borrower; |
o | general economic conditions in the area where the property is located; and |
o | any other factors that the General Partner believes are relevant. |
Substantially all investment loans of the Partnership are arranged or originated by the General Partner, which is licensed by the State of California as a real estate broker and California Finance Lender. During the course of its business, the General Partner is continuously evaluating prospective investments. The General Partner originates loans from mortgage brokers, previous borrowers, and by personal solicitations of new borrowers. The Partnership may purchase or participate in existing loans that were originated by other lenders. Such a loan might be obtained by the General Partner from a third party and sold to the Partnership at an amount equal to or less than its face value. The General Partner evaluates all potential mortgage loan investments to determine if the security for the loan and the loan-to-value ratio meet the standards established for the Partnership, and if the loan can meet the Partnerships investment criteria and objectives. An appraisal will be ordered on the property securing the loan, and an officer, director, agent or employee of the General Partner will inspect the property during the loan approval process.
The Partnership requires that each borrower obtain a title insurance policy as to the priority of the mortgage and the condition of title. The Partnership obtains an independent appraisal from a qualified appraiser for each property in which it invests. Appraisals will ordinarily take into account factors such as property location, age, condition, estimated replacement cost, community and site data, valuation of land, valuation by cost, valuation by income, economic market analysis, and correlation of the foregoing valuation methods. The General Partner additionally relies on its own independent analysis in determining whether or not to make a particular mortgage loan.
The General Partner has the power to cause the Partnership to become a joint venturer, partner or member of an entity formed to own, develop, operate and/or dispose of properties owned or co-owned by the Partnership acquired through foreclosure of a loan. To date, the Partnership has entered into four such ventures for purposes of developing and disposing of properties acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure. The General Partner may enter into such ventures in the future.
Types of Mortgage Loans
The Partnership invests in first, second, and third mortgage loans, wraparound mortgage loans, construction mortgage loans on real property, and loans on leasehold interest mortgages. The Partnership does not ordinarily make or invest in mortgage loans with a maturity of more than 15 years, and most loans have terms of 1-3 years. Virtually all loans provide for monthly payments of interest and some also provide for principal amortization. Most Partnership loans provide for payments of interest only and a payment of principal in full at the end of the loan term. The General Partner does not generally originate loans with negative amortization provisions. The Partnership does not have any policies directing the portion of its assets that may be invested in construction loans, loans secured by leasehold interests and second, third and wrap-around mortgage loans. However, the General Partner recognizes that these types of loans are riskier than first deeds of trust on income-producing, fee simple properties and will seek to minimize the amount of these types of loans in the Partnerships portfolio. Additionally, the General Partner will consider that these loans are riskier when determining the rate of interest on the loans.
First Mortgage Loans
First mortgage loans are secured by first deeds of trust on real property. Such loans are generally for terms of 1-3 years. In addition, such loans do not usually exceed 80% of the appraised value of improved residential real property, 50% of the appraised value of unimproved real property, and 75% of the appraised value of commercial property.
Second and Wraparound Mortgage Loans
Second and wraparound mortgage loans are secured by second or wraparound deeds of trust on real property which is already subject to prior mortgage indebtedness, in an amount which, when added to the existing indebtedness, does not generally exceed 75% of the appraised value of the mortgaged property. A wraparound loan is one or more junior mortgage loans having a principal amount equal to the outstanding balance under the existing mortgage loans, plus the amount actually to be advanced under the wraparound mortgage loan. Under a wraparound loan, the Partnership generally makes principal and interest payments on behalf of the borrower to the holders of the prior mortgage loans.
Third Mortgage Loans
Third mortgage loans are secured by third deeds of trust on real property which is already subject to prior first and second mortgage indebtedness, in an amount which, when added to the existing indebtedness, does not generally exceed 75% of the appraised value of the mortgaged property.
Construction Loans
Construction loans are loans made for both original development and renovation of property. Construction loans invested in by the Partnership are generally secured by first deeds of trust on real property for terms of six months to two years. In addition, if the mortgaged property is being developed, the amount of such loans generally will not exceed 75% of the post-development appraised value.
The Partnership will not usually disburse funds on a construction loan until work in the previous phase of the project has been completed, and an independent inspector has verified completion of work to be paid for. In addition, the Partnership requires the submission of signed labor and material lien releases by the contractor in connection with each completed phase of the project prior to making any periodic disbursements of loan proceeds.
Leasehold Interest Loans
Loans on leasehold interests are secured by an assignment of the borrowers leasehold interest in the particular real property. Such loans are generally for terms of from six months to 15 years. Leasehold interest loans generally do not exceed 75% of the value of the leasehold interest. The leasehold interest loans are either amortized over a period that is shorter than the lease term or have a maturity date prior to the date the lease terminates. These loans permit the General Partner to cure any default under the lease.
Variable Rate Loans
Approximately 11.3% ($30,184,000) of the Partnerships loans as of December 31, 2003 bear interest at a variable rate. Variable rate loans originated by the General Partner may use as indices the one and five year Treasury Constant Maturity Index, the Prime Rate Index or the Monthly Weighted Average Cost of Funds Index for Eleventh or Twelfth District Savings Institutions (Federal Home Loan Bank Board).
The General Partner may negotiate spreads over these indices of from 2.5% to 6.5%, depending upon market conditions at the time the loan is made.
The following is a summary of the various indices described above as of December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002:
December 31, 2003 |
December 31, 2002 | |||||||
One-year Treasury Constant Maturity Index | 1.26 | % | 1.41 | % | ||||
Five-year Treasury Constant Maturity Index |
3.25 | % | 2.89 | % | ||||
Prime Rate Index |
4.00 | % | 4.25 | % | ||||
Monthly Weighted Average Cost of Funds for |
||||||||
Eleventh District Savings Institutions | 1.82 | % | 2.54 | % | ||||
Monthly Weighted Average Cost of Funds for |
||||||||
Twelfth District Savings Institutions | 2.30 | % | 3.04 | % |
The majority of the Partnerships variable rate loans use the five-year Treasury Constant Maturity Index. This index tends to be less sensitive to fluctuations in market rates. Thus, it is possible that the rates on the Partnerships variable rate loans will rise slower than the rates of other loan investments available to the Partnership. However, most variable rate loans arranged by the General Partner contain provisions whereby the interest rate cannot fall below the starting rate (the floor rate). Thus, for variable rate loans, the Partnership is generally protected against declines in general market interest rates.
Interest Rate Caps
All of the Partnerships variable rate loans have interest rate caps. The interest rate cap is generally a ceiling that is 2-4% above the starting rate with a floor rate equal to the starting rate. The inherent risk in interest rate caps occurs when general market interest rates exceed the cap rate.
Assumability
Variable rate loans of 5 to 10 year maturities are generally not assumable without the prior consent of the General Partner. The Partnership does not typically make or invest in other assumable loans. To minimize risk to the Partnership, any borrower assuming a loan is subject to the same stringent underwriting criteria as the original borrower.
Prepayment Penalties
The Partnerships loans typically do not contain prepayment penalties. If the Partnerships loans are at a high rate of interest in a market of falling interest rates, the failure to have a prepayment penalty provision in the loan allows the borrower to refinance the loan at a lower rate of interest, thus providing a lower yield to the Partnership on the reinvestment of the prepayment proceeds.
Balloon Payment
A majority of the loans made or invested in by the Partnership require the borrower to make a balloon payment on the principal amount upon maturity of the loan. To the extent that a borrower has an obligation to pay mortgage loan principal in a large lump sum payment, its ability to satisfy this obligation may be dependent upon its ability to sell the property, obtain suitable refinancing or otherwise raise a substantial cash amount. As a result, these loans involve a higher risk of default than fully amortizing loans.
Equity Interests and Participation in Real Property
As part of investing in or making a mortgage loan the Partnership may acquire an equity interest in the real property securing the loan in the form of a shared appreciation interest or other equity participation.
Debt Coverage Standard for Mortgage Loans
Loans on commercial property require the net annual estimated cash flow to equal or exceed the annual payments required on the mortgage loan.
Loan Limit Amount
The Partnership limits the amount of its investment in any single mortgage loan, and the amount of its investment in mortgage loans to any one borrower, to 10% of the total Partnership assets as of the date the loan is made.
Loans to Affiliates
The Partnership will not provide loans to the General Partner, affiliates of the General Partner, or any limited partnership or entity affiliated with or organized by the General Partner except for cash advances made to the General Partner, its affiliates, agents or attorneys (Indemnified Party) for reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action or proceeding if:
o | such suit, action or proceeding relates to or arises out of any action or inaction on the part of the Indemnified Party in the performance of its duties or provision of its services on behalf of the Partnership; |
o | such suit, action or proceeding is initiated by a third party who is not a Limited Partner; and |
o | the Indemnified Party undertakes by written agreement to repay any funds advanced in the cases in which such Indemnified Party would not be entitled to indemnification under Article IV. 5(a) of the Partnership Agreement. |
Purchase of Loans from Affiliates
The Partnership may purchase loans deemed suitable for acquisition from the General Partner or its Affiliates only if the General Partner makes or purchases such loans in its own name and temporarily holds title thereto for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of such loans, and provided that such loans are purchased by the Partnership for a price no greater than the cost of such loans to the General Partner (except compensation in accordance with Article IX of the Partnership Agreement), there is no other benefit arising out of such transactions to the General Partner, such loans are not in default, and otherwise satisfy all requirements of Article VI. of the Partnership Agreement, including:
o | The Partnership shall not make or invest in mortgage loans on any one property if at the time of acquisition of the loan the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including loans by the Partnership, would exceed an amount equal to 80% of the appraised value of the property as determined by independent appraisal, unless substantial justification exists because of the presence of other documented underwriting criteria. |
o | The Partnership will limit any single mortgage loan and limit its mortgage loans to any one borrower to not more than 10% of the total Partnership assets as of the date the loan is made or purchased. |
o | The Partnership may not invest in or make mortgage loans on unimproved real property is an amount in excess of 25% of the total Partnership assets. |
At times when there is a decline in mortgage originations by the General Partner and the Partnership has funds to invest in new loans, the General Partner may purchase loans from other lending institutions such as banks or mortgage bankers.
Borrowing
The Partnership may incur indebtedness for the purpose of:
o | investing in mortgage loans; |
o | to prevent default under mortgage loans that are senior to the Partnerships mortgage loans; |
o | to discharge senior mortgage loans if this becomes necessary to protect the Partnerships investment in mortgage loans; or |
o | to operate or develop a property that the Partnership acquires under a defaulted loan. |
The total amount of indebtedness incurred by the Partnership cannot exceed the sum of 50% of the aggregate fair market value of all Partnership loans. The Partnership has executed a line of credit agreement with a bank, which provides interim financing on mortgage loans invested in by the Partnership. The amount of credit available under this line of credit is $40,000,000. The balance outstanding on the line of credit was $6,000,000 as of December 31, 2003.
Repayment of Mortgages on Sales of Properties
The Partnership invests in mortgage loans and does not normally acquire real estate or engage in real estate operations or development (other than when the Partnership forecloses on a loan and takes over management of such foreclosed property). The Partnership also does not invest in mortgage loans primarily for sale or other disposition in the ordinary course of business.
The Partnership may require a borrower to repay a mortgage loan upon the sale of the mortgaged property rather than allow the buyer to assume the existing loan. This may be done if the General Partner determines that repayment appears to be advantageous to the Partnership based upon then-current interest rates, the length of time that the loan has been held by the Partnership, the credit-worthiness of the buyer and the objectives of the Partnership. The net proceeds to the Partnership from any sale or repayment are invested in new mortgage loans, held as cash or distributed to the partners at such times and in such intervals as the General Partner in its sole discretion determines.
No Trust or Investment Company Activities
The Partnership has not qualified as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, therefore, is not subject to the restrictions on its activities that are imposed on real estate investment trusts. The Partnership conducts its business so that it is not an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. It is the intention of the Partnership to conduct its business in such manner as not to be deemed a dealer in mortgage loans for federal income tax purposes.
Miscellaneous Policies and Procedures
The Partnership will not:
o | issue securities senior to the Units or issue any Units or other securities for other than cash; |
o | invest in the securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control, except in connection with the exercise of its rights as a secured lender; |
o | underwrite securities of other issuers; or |
o | offer securities in exchange for property. |
Competition and General Economic Conditions
The Partnerships major competitors in providing mortgage loans are banks, savings and loan associations, thrifts, conduit lenders, and other entities both larger and smaller than the Partnership. The Partnership is competitive in large part because the General Partner generates all of its loans. The General Partner has been in the business of making or investing in mortgage loans in Northern California since 1951 and has developed a quality reputation and recognition within the field.
The Partnerships sole business, making loans secured by real estate, is particularly vulnerable to changes in macroeconomic conditions. Any significant decline in economic activity, particularly in the geographical markets in which the loans are concentrated, could result in a decline in the demand for real estate acquisition and development loans. Declines in economic activity are often accompanied by a decline in prevailing interest rates. Although the Partnerships lending rates are not directly tied to the Federal Reserve Boards discount rate, a sustained and widespread decline in interest rates will impact the interest rates the Partnership is able to obtain on loans. Since the Partnerships loans generally do not have prepayment penalties, declining interest rates may also cause borrowers to prepay their loans and the Partnership may not be able to reinvest the amounts prepaid in loans generating a comparable yield. Moreover, any significant decline in economic activity could adversely impact the ability of borrowers to complete their projects and obtain take out financing. This in turn could increase the level of defaults the Partnership may experience.
In general, mortgage interest rates continued to fall slightly during 2003. This has been partially due to actions by the Federal Reserve Bank to reduce the discount rate on borrowings charged to member banks, a continuing poor economy and low threat of inflation. Many lenders have tightened their credit and reduced their lending exposure in various markets and property types. This credit tightening from competing lenders would normally provide the Partnership with additional lending opportunities at above-market rates. However, as a result of the poor economy, there are now fewer transactions in the marketplace, which has reduced the number of lending opportunities to the Partnership. Continued rate reductions by the Federal Reserve Bank, a continuing poor economy and low threat of inflation could have the effect of reducing mortgage yields in the future. Current loans with relatively high yields could be replaced with loans with lower yields, which in turn could reduce the net yield paid to the limited partners.
With the exception of the reinvestment of distributions, the Partnership has been closed to most new limited partner investments since September 2001. The Partnership has remained closed during this time because there have not been enough suitable mortgage investments for the Partnership to invest in to allow the Partnership to remain fully invested in loans. Remaining closed to most new limited partner investments reduces the Partnerships excess cash that would be invested in lower yielding investments, which could have the effect of decreasing the yield paid to existing limited partners.
Item 2. Properties
Between 1993 and 2003, the Partnership foreclosed on $34,145,000 of delinquent mortgage loans and acquired title to 31 properties securing the loans. As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership still holds title to 10 of these properties (either solely or through its investments in the limited liability companies discussed below) and one property that was purchased and is held within a corporate joint venture. As of December 31, 2003, the total carrying amount of these properties was $28,558,000, net of an allowance for losses of $660,000. Three of the properties are being held for long-term investment and the remaining eight properties are being marketed for sale or will be marketed for sale in the foreseeable future. All of the properties individually have a book value less than 2% of total Partnership assets as of December 31, 2003, other than the property within the corporate joint venture, which was not acquired through foreclosure. See Investment in Corporate Joint Venture below.
o | The Partnerships (or related LLCs) title to all properties is held as fee simple. |
o | There are no mortgages or encumbrances to third parties on any of the Partnerships real estate properties acquired through foreclosure (other than within the corporate joint venture- see below). |
o | Of the eleven properties held, seven of the properties are either partially or fully leased to various tenants. Only minor renovations and repairs to the properties are currently being made or planned (other than continued tenant improvements on the property within the corporate joint venture- see below). |
o | Management of the General Partner believes that all properties owned by the Partnership are adequately covered by customary casualty insurance. |
o | The Partnership maintains an allowance for losses on real estate held for sale in its financial statements of $660,000 as of December 31, 2003. |
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is typically held for a number of years before ultimate disposition primarily because the Partnership has the intent and ability to dispose of the properties for the highest possible price (such as when market conditions improve). During the time that the real estate is held, the Partnership may earn less income on these properties than could be earned on mortgage loans and may have negative cash flow on these properties.
Investment in Limited Liability Companies
Oregon Leisure Homes, LLC
Oregon Leisure Homes, LLC (OLH) was formed in 2001 between the Partnership and an unrelated developer for the purpose of developing and selling eight condominium units located in Lincoln City, Oregon, which were acquired by the Partnership via a deed in lieu of foreclosure. OLH also purchased two houses located on the ocean in Lincoln City for renovation and ultimate sale.
The Partnership is co-manager of OLH and is to receive 70% of the profits after payment of all interest on the original loan is made to the Partnership and priority return on partner contributions is allocated at the rate of 11% per annum. The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of OLH have been consolidated into the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and income statement of the Partnership.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership advanced an additional $1,037,000 to OLH for continued development and marketing of the condominium units and houses that have been for sale and received repayment of advances of $1,008,000 from sales and collections on notes receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2003, OLH sold the remaining one interest in the first ocean house and seven interests in the second ocean house for total cash proceeds of $670,000 and notes taken back in the amount of $420,000, resulting in gains in the total amount of $329,000. Both ocean houses have been fully sold as of December 31, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, OLH bought back the interests in three of the condominium units previously sold in 2002 for a total of $74,000 to allow OLH to sell the condominiums individually. As a result of an analysis performed based on projected sales proceeds, OLH recorded an allowance for losses in the amount of $410,000 on the condominium units during the year ended December 31, 2003. The net loss to the Partnership was approximately $373,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Partnerships investment in OLH real property was approximately $1,137,000 as of December 31, 2003.
Dation, LLC
Dation, LLC (Dation) was formed in 2001 between the Partnership and an unrelated developer for the purpose of developing and selling lots in a mobile home park located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which were acquired by the Partnership via a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Certain of these lots are currently being rented to tenants. The Partnership is advancing funds to Dation as needed under the terms of the loan to the original borrower and as additional capital contributions. The Partnership is co-manager of Dation and is to receive 50% of the profits and losses after payment of all interest on the original loan is made to the Partnership and priority return on partner contributions is allocated at the rate of 12% per annum.
The net operating loss to the Partnership was approximately $149,000 and $184,000 during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Partnership also recognized $64,000 and $128,000 in interest income from its loan to Dation during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Partnership advanced an additional $136,000 and $140,000, respectively, to Dation and received repayments from sales of lots in the amount of $74,000 and $60,000, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. The Partnerships total investment in Dation was approximately $1,845,000 and $1,931,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Investment in Real Estate Joint Venture
The Partnership had a construction loan on a housing development located in Hayward, California. The loan was reported in the financial statements as an investment in a real estate joint venture to account for the investment pursuant to accounting guidelines for acquisition, development and construction arrangements. The Partnership received interest on its advances to the joint venture at the rate of 10.25% per annum and 30% of the net profits from the sale of each house after payment of a 10% loan fee was made to OFG. As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership has received all interest payments due on the loan and has received $426,000 in payments of residual profits. The Partnership advanced an additional $1,350,000 to the joint venture and received repayment of all remaining advances in the amount of $2,681,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003. The joint venture has been terminated as of December 31, 2003.
Investment in Corporate Joint Venture
The Partnership has an investment in a limited liability company, 720 University, LLC (720 University), which owns a commercial retail property located in Greeley, Colorado. The Partnership receives 65% of the profits and losses in 720 University after priority return on partner contributions is allocated at the rate of 10% per annum. The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of 720 University have been consolidated into the balance sheet and income statement of the Partnership.
The net income to the Partnership was approximately $418,000, $291,000 and $186,000 during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The minority interest of the joint venture partner was approximately $124,000 and $132,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Partnerships investment in the real property within 720 University was approximately $13,063,000 and $11,912,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Partnership has a note payable with a bank through its investment in 720 University, which is secured by the property. The balance on the note was $8,877,000 and $8,190,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. 720 University continues to make tenant improvements on the property as required.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
Some of the information in this Form 10-K may contain forward-looking statements. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as may, will, expect, anticipate, estimate,continue or other similar words.

Although management of the Partnership believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are certain factors, in addition to these risk factors and cautioning statements, such as general economic conditions, local real estate conditions, adequacy of reserves, or weather and other natural occurrences that might cause a difference between actual results and those forward-looking statements.
Results of Operations
Overview
The Partnerships primary objective is to generate monthly income from its investment in mortgage loans. There is a significant market opportunity to make mortgage loans to owners and developers of real property whose financing needs are not met by traditional mortgage lenders. The loan underwriting standards the General Partner utilizes are less strict than traditional mortgage lenders. One of the Partnerships competitive advantages is the ability to approve loan applications quicker than traditional lenders.
The Partnership will originate loans secured by very diverse property types. In addition, the Partnership will occasionally lend to borrowers whom traditional lenders will not normally lend to because of a variety of factors including their credit ratings and/or experience. Due to these factors and also because the General Partner is not an expert in all of the diverse property types and geographic locations that the Partnerships loans are located, the Partnership may make mortgage loans that are riskier than mortgage loans made by commercial banks and other institutional lenders. However, in return, the Partnership seeks higher interest rates and the General Partner attempts to mitigate potentially increased lending risks such as by imposing lower loan to value ratios than traditional mortgage lenders.
The Partnerships operating results are affected primarily by: (1) the amount of capital and/or borrowings available to invest in mortgage loans; (2) the level of real estate lending activity in the markets serviced; (3) the ability to identify and work with suitable borrowers; (4) the interest rates the Partnership is able to charge on loans; (5) the level of delinquencies on mortgage loans; (6) the level of foreclosures and related loan and real estate losses experienced; and (7) the operating income or losses from foreclosed properties prior to the time of disposal.
The United States economy has suffered from a mild recession over the past few years. A prolonged recession may continue to dampen real estate development activity, thereby decreasing the market for the Partnerships loans. In addition, a continuing decline in interest rates, which has been largely attributable to the weak economy, may be expected to decrease the interest rates that can be charged on Partnership loans. The average interest rate on the Partnerships loans at December 31, 2003 was 11.1% as compared to 11.7% at December 31, 2002. To the extent that the efforts of borrowers to develop and sell commercial real estate projects are adversely impacted by the economy, the Partnership may experience an increase in loan defaults which may reduce the amount of income available for distribution to partners. As a result of increased management fees paid to the General Partner in 2003 and the decrease in the weighted average interest rate on mortgage loans, the annualized rate of return to partners for 2003 was 7.4% as compared to 7.9% in 2002.
Although Partnership lending activity in 2003 has kept pace with lending activity in prior years, the level of loan payoffs has increased substantially in 2003. This has required the Partnership to remain closed to additional partner investments since September 2001.
Adverse economic conditions during the next year could have a material impact on the collectibility of loans. Recognizing this risk, the General Partner seeks to maintain a low loan-to-value ratio which, as of December 31, 2003, was 54% on a weighted average basis. In this manner, the Partnership hopes to retain sufficient cushion in the underlying equity position to protect the value of loans in the event of a default. Nevertheless, no assurances can be given that a marked increase in loan defaults accompanied by a rapid decline in real estate values will not have a material adverse effect upon the Partnerships financial condition and operating results.
Historically, the General Partner has focused its operations on California and certain Western states. Because the General Partner has a significant degree of knowledge with respect to the real estate markets in such states, it is likely most of the Partnerships loans will be concentrated in such states. As of December 31, 2003, 45.8% of the principal amount of loans were secured by real estate in Northern California, while 13.5% and 8.0% were secured by real estate in Nevada and Southern California, respectively. Such geographical concentration creates greater risk that any downturn in such local real estate markets could have a significant adverse effect upon results of operations. Commercial real estate markets in segmented areas of California have continued to prosper, with significant borrowing activity, throughout the current recession. However, there is no assurance that the rate of growth will continue to increase in the future. As noted above, if the recession continues for an extended period or deepens, particularly in any of the identified states, the Partnerships operating results could be adversely affected.
2003 Compared to 2002
The net income increase of $172,000 (0.79%) for 2003 compared to 2002 was due to:
o | an increase in interest income secured by trust deeds of $1,393,000; |
o | an increase in gain on sale of real estate of $452,000; |
o | a decrease in legal and accounting expenses of $32,000; |
o | a decrease in rental and other expenses on real estate properties of $399,000; |
o | a decrease in interest expense of $53,000; and |
o | a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $905,000. |
The net income increase in 2003 as compared to 2002 was offset by:
o | a decrease in rental and other income from real estate properties of $520,000; |
o | a decrease in other income of $168,000; |
o | an increase in management fees to the general partner of $1,513,000; and |
o | an increase in the provision for losses on real estate held for sale of $898,000. |
Interest income on loans secured by trust deeds increased $1,393,000 (5.3%) for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002. This increase was a result of a 4.0% growth in the average loan portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to 2002 and the collection of interest on certain delinquent loans during the year. The increase in the loan portfolio was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield of the loan portfolio from 11.9% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to 11.4% for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Gain on sale of real estate increased by $452,000 (33.1%) for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002 due to increased sales at the manufactured home subdivision development located in Ione, California, increased sales of the interests in the ocean houses in OLH, and gains from the sales of the commercial property in Monterey, California and the land in Reno, Nevada during the year ended December 31, 2003. See further discussion under Real Estate Properties Acquired Through Foreclosure and Held for Sale and Investment below.
The decrease in legal and accounting expenses of $32,000 (15.8%) was due to professional fees incurred in the first quarter of 2002 as a result of a new S-11 filing (registration of new units) with the Securities and Exchange Commission in January 2002 and the S-11 Post-Effective Amendment filing in April 2002. No registration of new units was made during the year ended December 31, 2003.
The decrease in rental and other expenses on real estate properties of $399,000 (12.9%) between the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was primarily the result of the following:
o | a decrease in rental expenses of approximately $272,000 as a result of the sales of the commercial building located in Monterey, California and the hotel property located in Phoenix, Arizona during 2003; |
o | a decrease in expenses of approximately $60,000 from the manufactured home subdivision development in Ione, California due to the continued sale of lots and houses in the development; and |
o | a decrease in expenses of approximately $60,000 from the Partnerships investment in Oregon Leisure Homes, LLC as a result of the final sales of the ocean houses during 2003 and the subsequent winding down of operations. |
The decrease in interest expense of $53,000 (12.5%) was due to decreased usage of the Partnerships line of credit during 2003 compared to 2002 and also due to a decline in the average interest rate on borrowings during 2003.
The decrease in the provision for loan losses of $905,000 (57.1%) was due to specific reserves that were established on two loans in the total amount of $679,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2002, there were specific and general reserves in the total amount of $1,584,000 established. See Financial Condition Loan Portfolio below.
The decrease in rental and other income from real estate properties of $520,000 (16.1%) was due primarily to the sale of the commercial building located in Monterey, California and the sale of the hotel property located in Phoenix, Arizona during 2003.
Interest income on investments (other income) decreased by $168,000 (50.3%) for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 due to a decrease of approximately $11,000,000 in the average amount of cash and equivalents held by the Partnership during the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to 2002, and a decrease in the weighted average yield of the Partnerships money market investments from approximately 2.1% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to approximately 1.2% for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Management fees to the General Partner are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and are determined at the sole discretion of the General Partner. The increase in management fees of $1,513,000 (41.8%) during the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to 2002 was partially a result of an increase in interest income collected on delinquent loans during the year and the growth in the loan portfolio of approximately 4.0%.
The maximum management fee permitted under the Partnership Agreement is 2¾% per year of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans. For the years 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003, the management fees were 1.85%, 1.48%, 1.46% and 2.01% of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans, respectively.
In determining the management fees and hence the yield to the partners, the General Partner may consider a number of factors, including current market yields, delinquency experience, uninvested cash and real estate activities. The General Partner expects that the management fees that it receives from the Partnership will vary in amount and percentage from period to period, and it is highly likely that the General Partner will again receive less than the maximum management fees in the future. However, if the General Partner chooses to take the maximum allowable management fees in the future, the yield paid to limited partners may be reduced.
If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the year ended December 31, 2003, the management fees would have been $6,992,000 (increase of $1,863,000), which would have reduced net income allocated to limited partners by approximately 8.5%, and net income allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to $.07.
The increase in the provision for losses on real estate held for sale of $898,000 was due to the creation of reserves on two properties in the total amount of $585,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2002, an allowance established on the manufactured home subdivision development located in Ione, California was reversed resulting in a net recovery of losses on real estate held for sale of $314,000.
2002 Compared to 2001
The net income decrease of $219,000 (1.0%) for 2002 compared to 2001, was due to:
o | a decrease in other income of $345,000; |
o | an increase in management fees to the general partner of $178,000; |
o | an increase in rental and other expenses of $1,544,000; and |
o | an increase in provision for loan losses of $544,000. |
The net income decrease in 2002 as compared to 2001, was offset by:
o | an increase in interest income on loans secured by trust deeds of $1,382,000; |
o | an increase in rental and other income on real estate properties of $637,000; |
o | a decrease in carried interest to the general partner of $133,000; |
o | a decrease in other expenses of $113,000; and |
o | the net recovery of losses on real estate held for sale of $314,000. |
Interest income on investments (other income) decreased by $345,000 (50.8%) for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001 due primarily to a decrease in the average yield on the Partnerships investments from 4.0% to 2.1% due to a decrease in general market interest rates.
Management fees to the General Partner are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and are determined at the sole discretion of the General Partner. The increase in management fees of $178,000 (5.2%) during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to 2001 was primarily a result of an increase in the average loan portfolio of 7.0% during the year.
The maximum management fee permitted under the Partnership Agreement is 2¾% per year of the average upaid balance of mortgage loans. For the years 2000, 2001 and 2002, the management fees were 1.85%, 1.48% and 1.46% of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans, respecitvely.
In determining the management fees and hence the yield to the partners, the General Partner may consider a number of factors, including current market yields, delinquency experience, uninvested cash and real estate activities. The General Partner expects that the management fees that it receives from the Partnership will vary in amount and percentage from period to period, and it is highly likely that the General Partner will again receive less than the maximum management fees in the future. However, if the General Partner chooses to take the maximum allowable management fees in the future, the yield paid to limited partners may be reduced.
If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the year ended December 31, 2002, the management fees would have been $6,724,000 (increase of $3,108,000), which would have reduced net income allocated to limited partners by approximately 14.3%, and net income allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to $.07.
The increase in rental and other expenses on real estate properties of $1,544,000 (99.8%) and the increase in rental and other income on real estate properties of $637,000 (24.5%) was primarily the result of the foreclosure on a hotel located in Phoenix, Arizona during the year ended December 31, 2002 and its subsequent operation, the acquisition of a commercial building through foreclosure in the last half of 2001, the losses incurred from the Partnerships investments in OLH and Dation of $366,000 during the year ended December 31, 2002, and delinquent property taxes and other expenses incurred in the total amount of $410,000 on three non-operating properties that were obtained via foreclosure during 2002. See further discussion under Real Estate Properties Acquired Through Foreclosure and Held for Sale and Investment below.
The provision for loan losses of $1,584,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 was based on an analysis performed on the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2002. See Financial Condition Loan Portfoliobelow.
Interest income on loans secured by trust deeds increased $1,382,000 (5.6%) for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001. This increase was a result of an increase in the average loan portfolio of 7.0% during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to 2001 and an increase in the weighted average yield of the loan portfolio from 11.75% for the year ended December 31, 2001 to 11.86% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was partially offset by the increase in loans delinquent greater than ninety days during the year ended December 31, 2002. See Financial Condition Loan Portfolio below.
The decrease in carried interest to the general partner of $133,000 (76.9%) is a result of decreased limited partner contributions to the Partnership during the year ended December 31, 2002 as the Partnership has been closed to most new investments since September 1, 2001. On a monthly basis, the General Partner receives an additional carried interest in the Partnership equal to ½ of 1% of the net increase in the capital accounts of the limited partners pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.
The decrease in other expenses of $113,000 (60.5%) was due primarily to registration fees paid to the Securities and Exchange Commission, National Association of Securities Dealers and various states related to a new Partnership registration statement originally filed in September 2001. No filings requiring the payment of fees occurred in 2002.
The net recovery of losses on real estate held for sale of $314,000 was the result of the reversal of an allowance in the amount of $384,000 previously established on the manufactured home subdivision development located in Ione, California, due to managements evaluation of the propertys fair market value based on recent sales. This recovery was offset by an allowance in the amount of $70,000 established on the commercial building located in Gresham, Oregon in June 2002, which was sold by the Partnership in July 2002.
Financial Condition
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001
Loan Portfolio
At the end of 2001 and 2002 the number of Partnership mortgage investments was 97 and 100, respectively, and decreased to 95 by December 31, 2003. The average loan balance was $2,203,000 and $2,602,000 at the end of 2001 and 2002 respectively, and increased to $2,804,000 as of December 31, 2003. The average loan balance in the Partnerships portfolio has been steadily increasing for several years. This is due to the fact that there are more lenders competing for short-term bridge financing at loan levels of $1,000,000 and less, and many of these lenders have the financial capability of funding these loans at more competitive rates. The current opportunities for maximizing the return to the Partnership are greater for larger loan amounts.
Approximately $22,828,000 (8.6%) and $26,327,000 (10.1%) of the loans invested in by the Partnership were more than 90 days delinquent in monthly payments as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $4,363,000 (1.6%) and $6,503,000 (2.5%) were in the process of non-judicial foreclosure and approximately $1,600,000 (0.6%) and $4,300,000 (1.7%), respectively, involved loans to borrowers who were in bankruptcy. In addition, the Partnerships investment in loans that were past maturity (delinquent in principal) but current in monthly payments was approximately $12,279,000 as of December 31, 2003. Of the total past maturity loans as of December 31, 2003, $2,750,000 was paid off and $2,350,000 were rewritten subsequent to year end.
The General Partner does not expect the delinquency rate on the Partnerships loan portfolio to continue to increase in the forseeable future. However, there is no precise method used by the General Partner to predict delinquency rates or losses on specific loans.
Loans in the process of foreclosure decreased by $2,140,000 (32.9%) from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003. Loans in the process of foreclosure as of December 31, 2002 consisted of five loans, of which one loan in the amount of $353,000 was written off by the Partnership during the year ended December 31, 2003, the borrower of one loan in the amount of $1,600,000 entered into bankruptcy, two loans in the total amount of $3,450,000 became current and are no longer in foreclosure, and one loan in the total amount of $1,100,000 is still delinquent and in foreclosure. In addition, two new loans with a total principal balance of $3,263,000 entered into foreclosure during the year ended December 31, 2003.
Loans to borrowers who were in bankruptcy decreased by $2,700,000 (62.8%) from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003. Loans to borrowers who were in bankruptcy as of December 31, 2002 consisted of two loans, both of which were foreclosed upon during the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition, one loan in the amount of $1,600,000 was reclassified from a loan in the process of foreclosure to a loan subject to bankruptcy during the year ended December 31, 2003.
As of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership held the following types of mortgages:

As of December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, approximately 46%, 43% and 54% of the Partnerships mortgage loans were secured by real property in Northern California.
The Partnerships investment in construction loans increased by $9,374,000 (74.0%) since December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily due to increased advances on existing construction loans and the origination of three new construction loans during the year ended December 31, 2003.
The Partnerships investment in loans on unimproved land decreased by $2,629,000 (15.5%) since December 31, 2002. This decrease was due to the origination of $11,660,000 in new loans, net of repayments of loans received in the amount of $14,400,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003.
In June 2003, the borrower of a participated loan, with a principal balance outstanding to the Partnership of $12,500,000 (which represents a 62.5% pari pasu interest in a first trust deed of $20,000,000), filed bankruptcy. In July 2003, a stipulation of the bankruptcy court was executed, whereby the terms of the original loan were modified and the Partnership advanced an additional $1,375,000 as part of the stipulation. In February 2004 (subsequent to year end), the property (a casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada) was obtained via foreclosure sale, due to default of the court stipulation by the borrower. The Partnership had accrued $339,000 of interest on this loan as of December 31, 2003. No specific reserve has been provided for this loan based on the underlying collateral value.
Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were as follows:

Real Estate Properties Acquired Through Foreclosure and Held for Sale and Investment
The Partnership currently holds title to 11 properties that were foreclosed on or purchased from January 1, 1993 through December 31, 2003 in the amount of $28,558,000, net of allowance for losses of $660,000. Prior to foreclosure, these properties secured Partnership loans aggregating $15,771,000. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership acquired certain properties through foreclosure on which it had trust deeds totaling $4,300,000. As of December 31, 2003, properties held for sale total $13,164,000 (including the properties held in two limited liability companies) and properties held for investment total $15,394,000 (including the property held in the corporate joint venture - see below). When the Partnership acquires property by foreclosure, it typically earns less income on those properties than could be earned on mortgage loans and may not be able to sell the properties in a timely manner.
Four of the Partnerships eleven properties do not currently generate revenue. Expenses from rental properties (including expenses from the Corporate Joint Venture see below) have decreased from approximately $3,090,000 to $2,692,000 (12.9%) for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively, and revenues associated with these properties (including revenues from the Corporate Joint Venture see below) have decreased from $3,233,000 to $2,713,000 (16.1%), thus generating a net income from real estate of $21,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003 (compared to $143,000 during 2002). The decreases in income and expenses were primarily the result of the sale of the commercial building located in Monterey, California in March 2003 and the sale of the hotel property located in Phoenix, Arizona in June 2003.
As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership owned fifteen and eleven properties, respectively. Prior to foreclosure, these properties secured Partnership loans aggregating $18,855,000 and $10,509,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership acquired certain properties through foreclosure on which it had trust deed investments totaling $9,370,000 and $3,369,000, respectively.

2003 Foreclosure and Sales Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by an industrial building located in Santa Clara, California in the amount of $2,000,000 and obtained the property via the trustees sale.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by a retail/commercial building located in Norfolk, Virginia in the amount of $2,300,000 and obtained the property via the trustees sale. The property was transferred to real estate held for sale net of a $1,000,000 specific allowance previously established. The Partnership sold the property for $1,289,000, resulting in an additional loss of $11,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003.
During the year ended December 31, 2003 the hotel property located in Phoenix, Arizona that was acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure in 2002 was sold for cash of $370,000 and a note in the amount of $1,480,000, resulting in no gain or loss. An additional allowance in the amount of $174,532 had been established during the year ended December 31, 2003.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the parcel of land located in Reno, Nevada (that was acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure in 1996) was sold for $475,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $106,000.

o | an increase in deferred interest accrued on one loan in the amount of $339,000 pursuant to the stipulation of the bankruptcy court (see Financial Condition Loan Portfolio above); |
o | an increase in accrued interest receivable due to an increase in the outstanding balance of trust deeds of $6,163,000 (2.4%) between December 31, 2002 and 2003; and |
o | an increase in notes receivable from the sales of the ocean houses within OLH of approximately $125,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003. |
The increases above were offset by the collection of a receivable in the amount of $188,000 from the Partnerships investment in 720 University during the year ended December 31, 2003.
Due to General Partner
Due to General Partner increased from approximately $957,000 as of December 31, 2002 to $1,167,000 as of December 31, 2003 ($210,000 or 21.9%), due primarily to higher accrued management fees for the months of November and December 2003 as compared to November and December 2002. These fees are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement (see Results of Operations above).
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased from approximately $117,000 as of December 31, 2002 to $211,000 as of December 31, 2003 ($94,000 or 80.3%), due primarily to $123,000 collected from the homeowners association of the Partnerships manufactured home subdivision development that will be used to pay for repairs of certain of the retaining walls in the development during 2004.
Note Payable
Note payable increased from approximately $8,190,000 as of December 31, 2002 to $8,877,000 as of December 31, 2003 ($687,000 or 8.4%), due to advances made on the loan held within the Corporate Joint Venture for the commercial development in Greeley, Colorado (see above) to pay for building and tenant improvements during 2003.
Line of Credit Payable
Line of credit payable decreased from $6,867,000 as of December 31, 2002 to $6,000,000 as of December 31, 2003 ($867,000 or 12.6%) due to repayments made as a result of excess cash from loan payoffs. There is an additional $34,000,000 available to be advanced from the line of credit as of December 31, 2003.
Asset Quality
Some losses are normal when lending money and the amounts of losses vary as the loan portfolio is affected by changing economic conditions and financial experiences of borrowers. There is no precise method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged off on particular segments of the loan portfolio.
The conclusion that a Partnership loan may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. Although lenders such as banks and savings and loans are subject to regulations that require them to perform ongoing analyses of their loan portfolios (including analyses of loan to value ratios, reserves, etc.), and to obtain current information regarding its borrowers and the securing properties, the Partnership is not subject to these regulations and has not adopted these practices. Rather, management of the General Partner, in connection with the quarterly closing of the accounting records of the Partnership and the preparation of the financial statements, evaluates the Partnerships mortgage loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on the General Partners evaluation of the risk inherent in the Partnerships loan portfolio and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters:
o | prevailing economic conditions; |
o | historical experience; |
o | the types and dollar amounts of the loans in the portfolio; |
o | borrowers financial condition and adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to pay; |
o | evaluation of industry trends; |
o | review and evaluation of loans identified as having loss potential; and |
o | estimated net realizable value or fair value of the underlying collateral. |
Based upon this evaluation, a determination is made as to whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover potential losses of the Partnership. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for loan losses. Loan losses deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses.
There was a $353,000 loss realized upon write-off of a Partnership loan and a $1,011,000 loss upon the foreclosure and subsequent sale of a property securing a loan during the year ended December 31, 2003 (allowances had been previously established for $1,353,000 of these losses). There was a $1,235,000 loss recognized on a motel property located in Phoenix, Arizona at the time of foreclosure in 2002 and an additional $175,000 upon the sale of the property in 2003. There was a total loss of $614,000 realized on two Partnership loans during the year ended December 31, 2001. There were no actual losses incurred on loans by the Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. However, the Partnership realized a loss on real estate in the amount of $712,000 from the sale of a foreclosed property to the General Partner at its fair market value during 1998. As of December 31, 2003, management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $4,100,000 is adequate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sales of Units to investors and portfolio loan payoffs provide the capital for new mortgage investments. If general market interest rates were to rise substantially, investors might turn to interest-yielding investments other than Partnership Units, which would reduce the liquidity of the Partnership and its ability to make additional mortgage investments to take advantage of the generally higher interest rates. In contrast, a significant increase in the dollar amount of loan payoffs and additional limited partner investments without the origination of new loans of the same amount would increase the liquidity of the Partnership. This increase in liquidity could result in a decrease in the yield paid to limited partners as the Partnership would be required to invest the additional funds in lower yielding, short term investments.
There was a steady decrease in the percentage of capital withdrawals to total capital invested by limited partners between 1999 and 2002, excluding regular distributions of net income to limited partner. Withdrawal percentages have been 7.99%, 6.64%, 5.45%, 3.32% and 4.42% for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. These percentages are the annual average of the limited partnerscapital withdrawals in each calendar quarter divided by the total limited partner capital as of the end of each quarter.
The limited partners may withdraw, or partially withdraw, from the Partnership and obtain the return of their outstanding capital accounts at $1.00 per Unit within 61 to 91 days after written notices are delivered to the General Partner, subject to the following limitations, among others:
o | No withdrawal of Units can be requested or made until at least one year from the date of purchase of those Units, other than Units received under the Partnerships Reinvested Distribution Plan. |
o | Any such payments are required to be made only from net proceeds and capital contributions (as defined) during said 91-day period. |
o | A maximum of $100,000 per partner may be withdrawn during any calendar quarter. |
o | The General Partner is not required to establish a reserve fund for the purpose of funding such payments. |
o | No more than 10% of the total outstanding limited partnership interests may be withdrawn during any calendar year except upon a plan of dissolution of the Partnership. |
In March 2001, the Partnership amended its Limited Partnership Agreement, with the consent of a majority of limited partners, to allow the Partnership to incur indebtedness for the purpose of investing in mortgage loans. The total amount of indebtedness incurred by the Partnership cannot exceed the sum of 50% of the aggregate fair market value of all Partnership loans. The Partnership finalized a line of credit agreement with a bank in August 2001, which provides interim financing on mortgage loans invested in by the Partnership. The amount of credit available under this line of credit is $40,000,000 (pursuant to an amendment in August 2002). The balance outstanding on the line of credit was $6,000,000 as of December 31, 2003.
Contingency Reserves
The Partnership maintains cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as contingency reserves in an aggregate amount of 2% of the limited partners capital accounts to cover expenses in excess of revenues or other unforeseen obligations of the Partnership. Although the General Partner believes that contingency reserves are adequate, it could become necessary for the Partnership to sell or otherwise liquidate certain of its investments to cover such contingencies on terms which might not be favorable to the Partnership.
Current Economic Conditions
The Partnerships sole business, making loans secured by real estate, is particularly vulnerable to changes in macroeconomic conditions. Any significant decline in economic activity, particularly in the geographical markets in which the loans are concentrated, could result in a decline in the demand for real estate acquisition and development loans. Declines in economic activity are often accompanied by a decline in prevailing interest rates. Although the Partnerships lending rates are not directly tied to the Federal Reserve Boards discount rate, a sustained and widespread decline in interest rates will impact the interest rates the Partnership is able to obtain on loans. Since the Partnerships loans generally do not have prepayment penalties, declining interest rates may also cause borrowers to prepay their loans and the Partnership may not be able to reinvest the amounts prepaid in loans generating a comparable yield. Moreover, any significant decline in economic activity could adversely impact the ability of borrowers to complete their projects and obtain take out financing. This in turn could increase the level of defaults the Partnership may experience.
In general, mortgage interest rates continued to fall slightly during 2003. This has been partially due to actions by the Federal Reserve Bank to reduce the discount rate on borrowings charged to member banks, a continuing poor economy and low threat of inflation. Many lenders have tightened their credit and reduced their lending exposure in various markets and property types. This credit tightening from competing lenders would normally provide the Partnership with additional lending opportunities at above-market rates. However, as a result of the poor economy, there are now fewer transactions in the marketplace, which has reduced the number of lending opportunities to the Partnership. Continued rate reductions by the Federal Reserve Bank, a continuing poor economy and low threat of inflation could have the effect of reducing mortgage yields in the future. Current loans with relatively high yields could be replaced with loans with lower yields, which in turn could reduce the net yield paid to the limited partners.
With the exception of the reinvestment of distributions, the Partnership has been closed to most new limited partner investments since September 2001. The Partnership has remained closed during this time because there have not been enough suitable mortgage investments for the Partnership to invest in to allow the Partnership to remain fully invested in loans. Remaining closed to most new limited partner investments reduces the Partnerships excess cash that would be invested in lower yielding investments, which could have the effect of decreasing the yield paid to existing limited partners.

Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, equity prices and real estate values. The Partnerships note payable bears interest at a variable rate, tied to the LIBOR rate of interest. As a result, the Partnerships primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates, which will affect the interest cost of outstanding amounts on the note payable.
The majority of the Partnerships mortgage loans (88.7% as of December 31, 2003) earn interest at fixed rates. Changes in interest rates may also affect the value of the Partnerships investment in mortgage loans and the rates at which the Partnership reinvests funds obtained from loan repayments and new capital contributions from limited partners. As interest rates increase, although the interest rates the Partnership obtains from reinvested funds will generally increase, the value of the Partnerships existing loans at fixed rates will generally tend to decrease. As interest rates decrease, the amounts becoming available to the Partnership for investment due to repayment of Partnership loans may be invested at lower rates than the Partnership had been able to obtain in prior investments, or than the rates on the repaid loans.
The Partnership does not hedge or otherwise seek to manage interest rate risk. The Partnership does not enter into risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

The General Partner will provide a copy of the Code to any person without charge upon request.
Research and Acquisition
The General Partner considers prospective investments for the Partnership. In that regard, the General Partner evaluates the credit of prospective borrowers, analyzes the return to the Partnership of potential mortgage loan transactions, reviews property appraisals, and determines which types of transactions appear to be most favorable to the Partnership. For these services, the General Partner generally receives mortgage placement fees (points) paid by borrowers when loans are originally funded or when the Partnership extends or refinances mortgage loans. These fees may reduce the yield obtained by the Partnership from its mortgage loans.
Partnership Management
The General Partner is responsible for the Partnerships investment portfolio. Its services include:
o | the creation and implementation of Partnership investment policies; |
o | preparation and review of budgets, economic surveys, cash flow and taxable income or loss projections and working capital requirements; |
o | preparation and review of Partnership reports; |
o | communications with limited partners; |
o | supervision and review of Partnership bookkeeping, accounting, internal controls and audits; |
o | supervision and review of Partnership state and federal tax returns; and |
o | supervision of professionals employed by the Partnership in connection with any of the foregoing, including attorneys, accountants and appraisers. |
For these and certain other services the General Partner is entitled to receive a management fee of up to 2-3/4% per annum of the unpaid balance of the Partnerships mortgage loans. The management fee is payable on all loans, including nonperforming or delinquent loans. The General Partner believes that a fee payable on delinquent loans is justified because of the expense involved in the administration of such loans. See Compensation to the General PartnerManagement Fees, at page 6.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The Partnership does not pay any compensation to any persons other than the General Partner. The Partnership has not issued, awarded or otherwise paid to any General Partner, any options, SARs, securities, or any other direct or indirect form of compensation other than the management and service fees and carried interest permitted under the Partnership Agreement.
The following table summarizes the forms and amounts of compensation paid to the General Partner for the year ended December 31, 2003. Such fees were established by the General Partner and were not determined by arms-length negotiation.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Transactions with Management and Others
Management Fee
The General Partner is entitled to receive from the Partnership a management fee of up to 2.75% per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Partnerships mortgage loans at the end of each of the preceding twelve months for services rendered as manager of the Partnership. The amount of management fees to the General Partner for the year ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $5,129,000.
Servicing Fee
All of the Partnerships loans are serviced by the General Partner, in consideration for which the General Partner receives up to .25% per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loans on a monthly basis. The amount of servicing fees to the General Partner for the year ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $635,000.
Carried Interest
The General Partner is required to continue cash capital contributions to the Partnership in order to maintain its required capital balance equal to 1% of the limited partners capital accounts. The General Partner has contributed capital to the Partnership in the amount of 0.5% of the limited partners aggregate capital accounts and, together with its carried interest, the General Partner has an interest equal to 1% of the limited partners capital accounts. This carried interest of up to 1/2 of 1% is recorded as an expense of the Partnership and credited as a contribution to the General Partners capital account as additional compensation. As of December 31, 2003, the General Partner had made total cash capital contributions of $1,410,000 to the Partnership. During 2003, the Partnership incurred carried interest expense of $20,000.
Reimbursement of Other Expenses
The General Partner is reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities and the actual cost of services of non-management and non-supervisory personnel related to the administration of the Partnership (subject to certain limitations contained in the Partnership Agreement). During 2003, the Partnership reimbursed the General Partner for expenses in the amount of $134,000.
Compensation from Others
In addition to compensation from the Partnership, the General Partner also receives compensation from borrowers under the mortgage loans placed by the General Partner with the Partnership.
Loan Origination Fees
Loan origination fees, also called mortgage placement fees or points, are paid to the General Partner from the borrowers under loans held by the Partnership. These fees are compensation for the evaluation, origination, extension and refinancing of loans for the borrowers and may be paid at the placement, extension or refinancing of the loan or at the time of final repayment of the loan. The amount of these fees is determined by competitive conditions and the General Partner and may have a direct effect on the interest rate borrowers are willing to pay the Partnership. During 2003, the General Partner earned investment evaluation fees on Partnership loans in the amount of $6,829,000.
Late Payment Charges
All late payment charges paid by borrowers of delinquent mortgage loans, including additional interest and late payment fees, are retained by the General Partner. During 2003, the General Partner received late payment charges from borrowers of Partnership loans in the amount of $347,000.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
The Partners
Owens Mortgage Investment Fund
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, partners capital and cash flows for the three year period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their consolidated operations and their consolidated cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Schedules II and IV are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,
A CALIFORNIA
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001
(1) | Organization |
Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership, (the Partnership) was formed on June 14, 1984 to invest in loans secured by first, second and third trust deeds, wraparound, participating and construction mortgage loans and leasehold interest mortgages. The Partnership commenced operations on the date of formation and will continue until December 31, 2034 unless dissolved prior thereto under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. |
The general partner of the Partnership is Owens Financial Group, Inc. (OFG), a California corporation engaged in the origination of real estate mortgage loans for eventual sale and the subsequent servicing of those mortgages for the Partnership and other third-party investors. |
OFG is authorized to offer and sell units in the Partnership up to an aggregate of 500,000,000 units outstanding at $1.00 per unit, representing $500,000,000 of limited partnership interests in the Partnership. Limited partnership units outstanding were 281,854,760, 277,791,148 and 269,804,867 as of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. |
(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
(a) | Basis of Presentation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership, its majority-owned limited liability company located in Oregon (see Note 4), and its majority-owned limited liability company located in Colorado (see Note 5). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Certain reclassifications not affecting net income have been made to the 2002 and 2001 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation. |
(b) | Management Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 those estimates. |
(c) | New Accounting Pronouncements |
SFAS 143 |
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated asset retirement costs. The new rules apply to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal operation of a long-lived asset. SFAS 143 is effective at the beginning January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 143 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
SFAS 145 |
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS 145 eliminates extraordinary accounting treatment for reporting a loss on debt extinguishments, and amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, to clarify meanings, and to describe applicability under changed conditions. The provisions of SFAS 145 were implemented for the Partnership's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003. Debt extinguishments reported as extraordinary items prior to scheduled or early adoption of SFAS 145 would be reclassified in most cases following adoption. SFAS 145 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
SFAS 146 |
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS 146 requires the recording of costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued upon the Partnership's commitment to an exit plan, which is generally before an actual liability has been incurred. Adoption of SFAS 146 was implemented for the Partnership's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS 146 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
SFAS 150 |
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 specifies that instruments within its scope embody obligations of the issuer and that, therefore, the issuer must classify them as liabilities. SFAS 150 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
Interpretation No. 46 |
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("Interpretation 46") which was then revised in December 2003. Interpretation 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which 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. The recognition and measurement provisions of Interpretation 46 are effective for newly created variable interest entities formed after January 31, 2003, and for existing variable interest entities, on the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships financial position or results of operations. |
SOP 03-3 |
In October 2003, the AICPA issued SOP 03-3 Accounting for Loans or Certain Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. SOP 03-3 applies to a loan with the evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable at acquisition, that the Partnership will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2004. The Partnership does not expect SOP 03-3 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
(d) | Loans Secured by Trust Deeds |
Loans secured by trust deeds are recorded at cost. Interest income on loans is accrued by the simple interest method. The Partnership does not recognize interest income on loans once they are determined to be impaired until the interest is collected in cash. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, when the loan is past maturity, or when monthly payments are delinquent greater than 90 days. Cash receipts are allocated to interest income, except when such payments are specifically designated as principal reduction or when management does not believe the Partnerships investment in the loan is fully recoverable. |
(e) | Allowance for Loan Losses |
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. |
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon managements periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loans obtainable market price, or the fair value of the underlying collateral. |
In limited instances, OFG advances certain payments on behalf of borrowers of Partnership loans, such as property taxes, insurance and mortgage interest pursuant to senior indebtedness. Such payments made on loans by OFG during 2003, 2002 and 2001 totaled approximately $4,000, $67,000 and $136,000, respectively. Of the amounts advanced, $0, $51,000 and $52,000 had been reimbursed to OFG by the borrowers as of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The loans on which OFG has made such advances are considered impaired and are evaluated with all other impaired loans for purposes of the loan loss allowance. |
(f) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing bank deposits, money market accounts and short-term certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less. |
The Partnership maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed Federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Partnership believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. |
(g) | Marketable Securities |
At various times during the year, the Partnership may purchase marketable securities with various financial institutions with original maturities of up to one year. The Partnership classifies its debt securities as held-to-maturity, as the Partnership has the ability and intent to hold the securities until maturity. These securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. A decline in the market value of any held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Interest income is recognized when earned. |
(h) | Real Estate Held for Sale and Investment |
Real estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and an investment in a real estate joint venture. These investments are carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan or the joint venture, inclusive of any senior indebtedness, or the propertys estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. |
Real estate held for investment includes real estate purchased or acquired through foreclosure and is initially stated at the lower of cost or the recorded investment in the loan, or the propertys estimated fair value. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements of 39 years. Amortization of lease commissions is provided on the straight-line method over the lives of the related leases. |
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposition of Long-lived Assets, the Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of real estate to expected future cash flows for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds future cash flows, the assets are reduced to fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership recorded an allowance for losses in the amount of $410,000 from its investment in the Oregon limited liability company (see Note 4). During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership reduced the carrying value of a property located in Gresham, Oregon by approximately $70,000 to its fair market value and reversed a previously established reserve on a property located in Ione, California in the amount of $384,000. There were no required reductions to the carrying value of real estate held for sale or investment made for the year ended December 31, 2001. |
(i) | Income Taxes |
No provision is made for income taxes since the Partnership is not a taxable entity. Accordingly, any income or loss is included in the tax returns of the partners. |

Variable rate loans use as indices the one- and five-year Treasury Constant Maturity Index (1.26% and 3.25%, respectively, as of December 31, 2003), the prime rate (4.00% as of December 31, 2003) or the weighted average cost of funds index for Eleventh or Twelfth District savings institutions (1.82% and 2.30%, respectively, as of December 31, 2003) or include terms whereby the interest rate is increased at a later date. Premiums over these indices have varied from 250650 basis points depending upon market conditions at the time the loan is made. |
A majority of the loans made or invested in by the Partnership require the borrower to make a balloon payment on the principal amount upon maturity of the loan. To the extent that a borrower has an obligation to pay mortgage loan principal in a large lump sum payment, its ability to satisfy this obligation may be dependent upon its ability to sell the property, obtain suitable refinancing or otherwise raise a substantial cash amount. As a result, these loans involve a higher risk of default than fully amortizing loans. |
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership has commitments to advance additional funds to borrowers of construction and other loans in the total amount of approximately $23,182,000 and $25,730,000, respectively. |
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership participated in 7 and 14 separate loans, respectively, with a total principal balance of $46,375,000 and $76,050,000, respectively, with an unrelated mortgage entity that originated the loans with the borrowers. The General Partner receives the payments on these participated loans from the unrelated entity. Pursuant to inter-creditor agreements between the Partnership and the unrelated entity on 4 and 11 of the loans, respectively, with a total principal balance of $32,500,000 and $60,550,000, respectively, the Partnership is guaranteed its share of interest and principal prior to any other investors participated in such loans. |
The scheduled maturities for 2003 include approximately $19,979,000 of loans which are past maturity as of December 31, 2003, of which $7,700,000 represents loans for which interest payments are delinquent over 90 days. Of the total past maturity loans as of December 31, 2003, $2,750,000 was paid off, $2,350,000 was rewritten and $215,000 had the maturity date extended subsequent to year end. |
During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership refinanced loans totaling $37,735,000 and $21,985,000, respectively, thereby extending the maturity dates of such loans. |
The Partnerships investment in impaired loans that were delinquent in payments greater than 90 days was approximately $22,828,000 and $26,327,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, the Partnerships investment in impaired loans that were past maturity (delinquent in principal) but current in monthly payments was approximately $12,279,000 and $42,126,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Of the impaired loans, approximately $4,363,000 and $6,503,000, respectively, were in the process of foreclosure and $1,600,000 and $4,300,000, respectively, involved borrowers who were in bankruptcy as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. |
The Partnerships allowance for loan losses was $4,100,000 and $4,774,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Of the total impaired loans as of December 31, 2003, $11,617,000 has a specific related allowance for credit losses totaling $1,300,000. There is a non-specific allowance for credit losses of $2,800,000 for the remaining loans. |
The average recorded investment in impaired loans (including loans delinquent in payments greater than 90 days and past maturity loans) was $57,862,000 and $51,565,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Interest income received on impaired loans during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $4,698,000, $3,403,000, and $3,368,000, respectively. |
In June 2003, the borrower of a participated loan, with a principal balance outstanding to the Partnership of $12,500,000 (which represents a 62.5% pari pasu interest in a first trust deed of $20,000,000), filed bankruptcy. In July 2003, a stipulation of the bankruptcy court was executed, whereby the terms of the original loan were modified and the Partnership advanced an additional $1,375,000 as part of the stipulation. In February 2004 (subsequent to year end), the property (a casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada) was obtained via foreclosure sale, due to default of the court stipulation by the borrower. No specific reserve has been provided for this loan based on the underlying collateral value. |
Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were as follows: |

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnerships loans secured by deeds of trust on real property collateral located in Northern California totaled approximately 46% ($122,031,000) and 43% ($112,218,000), respectively, of the loan portfolio. The Northern California region (which includes the following counties and all counties north: Monterey, Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Inyo) is a large geographic area which has a diversified economic base. The ability of borrowers to repay loans is influenced by the economic strength of the region and the impact of prevailing market conditions on the value of real estate. |

The acquisition of certain of these properties and properties acquired and sold during the year (see below) resulted in non-cash increases in real estate held for sale and non-cash decreases in loans secured by trust deeds of approximately $3,300,000, $9,370,000 and $3,369,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. |
2003 Foreclosure and Sales Activity |
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by an industrial building located in Santa Clara, California in the amount of $2,000,000 and obtained the property via the trustees sale. |
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by a retail/commercial building located in Norfolk, Virginia in the amount of $2,300,000 and obtained the property via the trustees sale. The property was transferred to real estate held for sale net of a $1,000,000 specific allowance previously established. The Partnership sold the property for $1,289,000, resulting in an additional loss of $11,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003. |
During the year ended December 31, 2003 a hotel property located in Phoenix, Arizona that was acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure in 2002 was sold for cash of $370,000 and a note in the amount of $1,480,000, resulting in no gain or loss. An additional allowance in the amount of $174,532 had been established during the year ended December 31, 2003. |
During the year ended December 31, 2003, a parcel of land located in Reno, Nevada (that was acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure in 1996) was sold for $475,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $106,000. |
During the year ended December 31, 2003, 22 lots (11 including houses) located in a manufactured home subdivision development located in Ione, California (that were acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure in 1997) were sold for $1,894,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $433,000. There are 39 lots remaining to be sold on this property as of December 31, 2003. |
2002 Foreclosure and Sales Activity |
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership transferred the commercial building located in Roseville, California in the amount of $758,000 from real estate held for sale to real estate held for investment. |
During the year ended December 31, 2002, a commercial parcel located in Vallejo, California that was acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure in 1994 was sold for $1,095,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $734,000. In addition, a commercial building located in Sacramento, California that was acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure in 1998 was sold for $147,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $117,000. |

(8) | Partners Capital |
In December 1998, the limited partners voted to amend the Partnership Agreement and there were further amendments by OFG in February 1999, April 2000 and March 2001. All such changes have been incorporated into this note and elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements where applicable. |
(a) | Allocations, Distributions and Withdrawals |
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnerships profits, gains and losses are allocated to each limited partner and OFG in proportion to their respective capital accounts. |
Distributions of net income are made monthly to the partners in proportion to their weighted-average capital accounts as of the last day of the preceding calendar month. Accrued distributions payable represent amounts to be distributed to partners in January of the subsequent year based on their capital accounts as of December 31. |
The Partnership makes monthly net income distributions to those limited partners who elect to receive such distributions. Those limited partners who elect not to receive cash distributions have their distributions reinvested in additional limited partnership units. Such reinvested distributions totaled $13,855,000, $14,270,000 and $14,533,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Reinvested distributions are not shown as partners cash distributions or proceeds from sale of partnership units in the accompanying consolidated statements of partners capital and cash flows. |
The limited partners may withdraw, or partially withdraw, from the Partnership and obtain the return of their outstanding capital accounts at $1.00 per unit (book value) within 61 to 91 days after written notices are delivered to OFG, subject to the following limitations, among others: |
| No withdrawal of units can be requested or made until at least one year from the date of purchase of those units, other than units received under the Partnerships Reinvested Distribution Plan. |
| Any such payments are required to be made only from net proceeds and capital contributions (as defined) during said 91-day period. |
| A maximum of $100,000 per partner may be withdrawn during any calendar quarter. |
| The general partner is not required to establish a reserve fund for the purpose of funding such payments. |
| No more than 10% of the outstanding limited partnership interest may be withdrawn during any calendar year except upon dissolution of the Partnership. |
(b) | Carried Interest of General Partner |
OFG has contributed capital to the Partnership in the amount of 0.5% of the limited partners aggregate capital accounts and, together with its carried interest (formerly promotional interest), OFG has an interest equal to 1% of the limited partners capital accounts. This carried interest of OFG of up to 1/2 of 1% is recorded as an expense of the Partnership and credited as a contribution to OFGs capital account as additional compensation. As of December 31, 2003, OFG had made cash capital contributions of $1,410,000 to the Partnership. OFG is required to continue cash capital contributions to the Partnership in order to maintain its required capital balance. |
The carried interest expense charged to the Partnership was $20,000, $40,000 and $173,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. |
(9) | Contingency Reserves |
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement and to satisfy the Partnerships liquidity requirements, the Partnership is required to maintain contingency reserves in an aggregate amount of at least 1-1/2% of the capital accounts of the limited partners. The cash capital contribution of OFG (amounting to $1,410,000 as of December 31, 2003), up to a maximum of 1/2 of 1% of the limited partners capital accounts will be available as an additional contingency reserve, if necessary. |
The contingency reserves required as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 were approximately $5,641,000 and $5,578,000, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents as of the same dates were accordingly maintained as reserves. |

(11) | Transactions with Affiliates |
OFG is entitled to receive from the Partnership a management fee of up to 2.75% per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Partnerships mortgage loans at the end of the twelve months in the calendar year for services rendered as manager of the Partnership. |
All of the Partnerships loans are serviced by OFG, in consideration for which OFG receives up to .25% per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loans. |
OFG, at its sole discretion may, on a monthly basis, adjust the management and servicing fees as long as they do not exceed the allowable limits calculated on an annual basis. Even though the fees for a month may exceed 1/12 of the maximum limits, at the end of the calendar year the sum of the fees collected for each of the 12 months must be equal to or less than the stated limits. Management fees amounted to approximately $5,129,000, $3,616,000 and $3,438,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Service fees amounted to approximately $635,000, $611,000 and $572,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership owed management and servicing fees to OFG in the amounts of $1,162,000 and $956,000, respectively. |
The maximum servicing fees were paid to OFG during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. If the maximum management fees had been paid to OFG during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the management fees would have been $6,992,000 (increase of $1,863,000), $6,724,000 (increase of $3,108,000) and $6,287,000 (increase of $2,849,000), respectively, which would have reduced net income allocated to limited partners by approximately 8.5%, 14.3% and 13.0%, respectively, and net income allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentages to $.07, $.07 and $.07, respectively. In determining the yield to the partners and hence the management fees, OFG may consider a number of factors, including current market yields, delinquency experience, uninvested cash and real estate activities. Large fluctuations in the management fees paid to the General Partner are normally a result of extraordinary items of income or expense within the Partnership (such as gains or losses from sales of real estate, large increases or decreases in delinquent loans, etc.). Thus, OFG expects that the management fees that it receives from the Partnership will vary in amount and percentage from period to period, and OFG may again receive less than the maximum management fees in the future. However, if OFG chooses to take the maximum allowable management fees in the future, the yield paid to limited partners may be reduced. |
OFG receives all late payment charges from borrowers on loans owned by the Partnership, with the exception of those loans participated with an outside mortgage entity (see note 3), pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. These charges are collected with the normal monthly payments and are remitted to OFG monthly. The amounts collected by OFG for such charges on Partnership loans totaled approximately $347,000, $649,000 and $1,297,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In addition, the Partnership remits other miscellaneous fees to OFG, which are collected from loan payments, loan payoffs or advances from loan principal (i.e. funding, demand and partial release fees). Such fees remitted to OFG totaled approximately $111,000 and $197,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. |
OFG originates all loans the Partnership invests in and receives a loan origination fee from borrowers, with the exception of those loans participated with an outside mortgage entity (see note 3). Such fees earned by OFG amounted to approximately $6,829,000, $5,815,000 and $6,990,000 on loans originated of $169,425,000, $138,278,000 and $166,264,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Such fees as a percentage of loans purchased by the Partnership were 4.0%, 4.2% and 4.2% for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. |
OFG is reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities and the actual cost of services of non-management and non-supervisory personnel related to the administration of the Partnership (subject to certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement). The amounts reimbursed to OFG by the Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $134,000, $217,000 and $32,000, respectively. |
During 2002, property securing a Partnership loan in the amount of $13,389,000 was sold by the borrower which resulted in the Partnership receiving a partial repayment in the amount of $10,189,000 through the close of escrow. The remaining principal balance of $3,200,000 was then transferred to a new loan, secured by the same property, with the buyer as the new borrower. The Partnership was participating in the new loan with the General Partner and with the former borrower. They each had interests in the loan in the amount of $1,427,000 ($6,054,000 total loan amount). Although the terms of the new loan included interest at the rate of 3% per annum, which was deferred until maturity, per the terms of an agreement between the three lenders in the new loan, the General Partner and former borrower paid 11.5% interest per month to the Partnership on its $3,200,000 portion of the loan until it was repaid in June 2003 in exchange for its portion of the 3% deferred interest. The total amount of interest paid by the General Partner to the Partnership was $143,000 and $167,000 during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. |
(12) | Net Income per Limited Partner Unit |
Net income per limited partnership unit is computed using the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during the year. These amounts were 280,643,964, 274,891,723 and 256,208,924 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. |
(13) | Rental Income |
The Partnerships real estate properties held for investment are leased to tenants under noncancellable leases with remaining terms ranging from one to twenty eight years. Certain of the leases require the tenant to pay all or some operating expenses of the properties. The future minimum rental income from noncancellable operating leases due within the five years subsequent to December 31, 2003, and thereafter are as follows: |

(14) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The Financial Accounting Standards Boards Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires the disclosure of fair value for certain of the Partnerships assets. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the value of the financial instruments included in the following categories: |
(a) | Cash and Cash Equivalents and Commercial Paper |
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. |
(b) | Loans Secured by Trust Deeds |
The carrying value of these instruments of $266,374,000 approximates the fair value as of December 31, 2003. The fair value is estimated based upon projected cash flows discounted at the estimated current interest rates at which similar loans would be made. The allowance for loan losses of $4,100,000 as of December 31, 2003 is also considered in evaluating the fair value of loans secured by trust deeds. |
(c) | Note Payable and Line of Credit Payable |
