Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters

 

 

 

Description of the Partnership

 

 

 

Tower Park Marina Investors L.P., (formerly PS Marina Investors I),a California Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), was organized under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act, pursuant to a Certificate of Limited Partnership filed on January 6, 1988 to acquire, own, and operate and to a lesser extent, develop marina facilities.

 

 

 

The General Partners in the Partnership are Westrec Investors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westrec Properties, Inc. (“Westrec”), and B. Wayne Hughes, a shareholder of Westrec until June 1990.  Effective March 1, 1997, the limited partners approved the substitution of Tower Park Marina Operating Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Westrec Financial, Inc., for Mr. Hughes.

 

 

 

The Partnership was formed to sell a maximum of 12,000 units of limited partnership interest at $5,000 per unit ($60,000,000).  The General Partners have contributed a total of $1,000.  On November 27, 1989, the Partnership’s offering was terminated with 4,508 units issued resulting in $22,540,000 of limited partner funds being raised (before commission discount of $3,000 granted to an investor).  Half of each Limited Partner’s total capital contribution was deferred.  The final installment was due on August 1, 1990 and $76,000 of such deferrals remain outstanding.

 

 

 

Basis for Presentation

 

 

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments and normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

 

 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tower Park Marina Investors, L.P. and its majority-owned subsidiary, Little Potato Slough Mutual Water Company (“LPSMWC”).  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters (continued)

 

 

 

Principles of Consolidation (continued)

 

 

 

Tower Park Marina Investors, L.P. was organized on January 6, 1988 and elected a December 31 year end for tax reporting and financial reporting purposes.  Little Potato Slough Mutual Water Company (the “Subsidiary”) was organized on March 8, 1982 and elected a February 28 year end for tax reporting and financial reporting purposes.  The Company acquired a majority interest in Little Potato Slough Mutual Water Company.  The Subsidiary’s February 28 financial statements are consolidated with the December 31 financial statements of the Company since the difference in reporting periods is not more than 93 days.  There are no intervening events which may materially affect the financial position or results of operations.

 

 

 

Reserve Fund

 

 

 

The bylaws of LPSMWC require a reserve fund to be established for the replacement of its existing facilities and any expansion.  This reserve is funded by monthly water and sewer charges assessed to all the shareholders.  At March 31, 2003 the reserve fund balance was $259,000.  The reserve fund is composed of cash in bank, money market funds and certificates of deposit.

 

 

 

Use of 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

 

 

Revenue from slip rentals and RV Parking are recognized over the length of the contract term.  Retail and fuel service revenues are recognized at point of sale.

 

 

 

In 2000, the Partnership adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, which establishes guidelines for applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.  The adoption of SAB No. 101 did not affect the results of operations or financial position of the Partnership.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters (continued)

 

 

 

As of March 31, 2003 the Partnership owns Tower Park Marina.  A net realizable value reserve of $2,193,000 was established at December 31, 1995 to reduce the carrying value of Tower Park Marina to its then estimated net realizable value.  No addition to this reserve has been considered necessary since the Partnership has determined that, based on current cash flows, estimated future cash flows will be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the marina.  The reserve represents an aggregate cost adjustment to individual assets and no restoration of this previously recognized reserve is permitted.

 

 

 

Offering and Organization Costs

 

 

 

Costs incurred in preparing Partnership documents, prospectuses and any other sales literature, costs incurred in qualifying the units for sale under federal and state securities laws and costs incurred in marketing the units have been charged to the limited partners’ equity to the extent the total does not exceed 5% of the gross proceeds of the offering.  The amount by which these organization and registration costs exceeded 5% of the gross proceeds of the offering were borne by Westrec Investors, Inc.

 

 

 

Cash Distributions

 

 

 

The General Partners have an interest in Cash Flow from Operations (as defined) and Cash from Sales or Refinancings (as defined).  No distributions have been made since 1991.

 

 

 

Allocations of Net Income or Loss

 

 

 

As set forth in the Partnership Agreement, net loss shall be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.  Net income shall generally be allocated to Partners in proportion to their cash distributions.

 

 

 

Earnings Per Unit

 

 

 

Per unit data is based on the weighted average number of the Limited Partnership units outstanding during the period; 4,508.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters (continued)

 

 

 

Tower Park Marina

 

 

 

Tower Park Marina is stated at cost to the Partnership less net realizable value reserve.  Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis.  Depreciable lives for the major asset categories are as follows:

Taxes Based on Income

 

 

 

Taxes based on income are the responsibility of the individual partners and, accordingly, are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.  The difference between the tax basis and the reported amounts of the Partnership’s assets and liabilities is attributable to the net realizable value reserve of $2,193,000 and accumulated depreciation of $744,000.

 

 

 

Segment Reporting

 

 

 

Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.  SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports and requires restatement of prior year information.  Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers in assessing performance.  SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.  The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not affect the results of operations or financial position but did affect the disclosure of segment information, as presented in Note 8.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

 

FASB issued on June 2001, SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.  This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  This Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.  The effect of SFAS 143 on the Partnership’s financial statements is not yet known.

 

 

 

FASB issued on August 2001, SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  This Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  This Statement requires the Partnership to test its marina facilities for recoverability because of current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses.  An impairment loss shall be recognized if the carrying amount is greater than the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of its marina facilities.  The Partnership reduced the carrying value of its marina facilities to its net realizable value in 1995 in accordance with SFAS 121.  This Statement did not affect the Partnership’s financial statements.

 

 

 

FASB issued on April 2002, SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.  This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.  The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of Statement 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.  The extinguishment of debt in Item 6 Selected Financial Data in the 1999 column will no longer be captioned as an extraordinary item.

 

 

 

FASB issued on June 2002, SFAS No 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.  This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).”  The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged.  This Statement is not expected to affect the Partnership’s financial statements.

Related Party Transactions

 

 

 

The Partnership has an agreement with Westrec Marina Management, Inc., an affiliate of Westrec, to manage the day-to-day operations of the marina for a fee equal to 6% of the marina’s monthly gross revenues (as defined).  Management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $26,000 and $25,000, respectively.

 

 

 

In connection with funding the Partnership’s operating deficits, and with the acquisition of marina facilities, funds have been borrowed from Westrec.  Total borrowings from Westrec at March 31, 2003 (including accrued interest) were $4,630,000.  These borrowings accrue interest at the prime rate plus 1% (5.25% at March 31, 2003).  Total interest paid or accrued to Westrec for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was $61,000 and $59,000, respectively.

 

 

7.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

 

 

The operations at Tower Park Marina are influenced by factors that affect the boating industry both locally and nationally, with activity at Tower Park Marina increasing seasonally during the period April through October of each year.

 

 

 

In November 1991, contamination was discovered in the area surrounding a fuel storage tank at Tower Park Marina.  Currently, the Partnership is required to perform quarterly groundwater sampling and monitoring.  Environmental consultants have been engaged to perform this sampling to determine the extent of the contamination.  Presently, sufficient data has not been obtained to estimate the cost of remediation, consequently no loss accrual has been made in the financial statements.  To date the Partnership has incurred $109,000 in monitoring fees.  Included in cost of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 is $2,000 and $4,000 of monitoring fees.

 

 

 

The Partnership operates a portion of Tower Park Marina on approximately 14 acres of waterfront property under a lease with the California State Land Commission (the “CSLC Lease”).  Effective January 1, 1999 the CSLC Lease was extended until December 31, 2023.  The CSLC Lease provides for an annual rent based on gross receipts, with a minimum annual rent of $40,000, payable in advance in quarterly installments of $10,000.  Rent expense associated with the CSLC Lease is included in cost of operations and was $10,000, for each of the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

Segment Reporting

 

 

 

The Partnership has been aggregated into four reportable business segments, (Slip rental, RV parking, Retail sales, and Fuel services):  Slip rental comprise the wet boat slip rentals and dry boat storage operations at the marina.  RV parking represents both long term and transient recreational vehicle parking at the campgrounds adjacent to the marina.  Retail sales segment consists of the operations of the retail boat supply and sundries store at the marina.  The Fuel service segment reports the operations of the fuel dock at the marina.

 

 

 

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in summary of significant accounting policies.  The Partnership evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on income from operations before depreciation and amortization.

 

 

 

Summarized financial information concerning the Partnership’s reportable segments is shown in the following table.  The “other” line item includes results of insignificant operations and as it relates to segment profit (loss), income and expenses not allocated to reportable segments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

 

 

Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for loans from affiliates and bank loans with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of payable to affiliates and notes payable to the bank approximates the carrying amount.

 

 

10.

Going Concern

 

 

 

The Partnership’s marina is not generating satisfactory levels of cash flows and cash flow projections do not indicate significant improvement in the near term.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Partnership’s ability to recover the carrying value of its assets, (not withstanding the write-down of the marina facility to its net realizable value) and to continue as a going concern.  The Partnership’s ability to continue to operate through 2003 and beyond is contingent on, among other factors, the improvement in Tower Park Marina operations and continued advances from the General Partners.  Management’s plans include the expenditure of approximately $150,000 (unaudited) in additional repairs and capital improvements during 2003, which management believes will continue to improve the operations of the property.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Partnership to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 2     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The revenues and expenses of the Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are generated from the operations of Tower Park Marina in the Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta near Sacramento, California and its majority owned subsidiary, Little Potato Slough Mutual Water Company.  As of March 31, 2003, Tower Park Marina had the following occupancies:

(1) non-transient spaces only

 

 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, revenues for Tower Park increased $10,000 to $521,000.  The increase was the net result of increases in slip rental ($11,000), lease income ($11,000), fuel service ($7,000) and water and sewer ($2,000), offset by declines in RV parking ($16,000), retail sales ($3,000), and other ($2,000).

 

 

 

The Partnership’s net loss of $112,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is $9,000 less than the loss incurred in the same period a year ago.  The improvement reflects the increased activity at the property, which resulted in higher slip rental revenues and lease income.  In addition, the Partnership successfully appealed their property tax assessment, which resulted in a $7,000 reduction for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period of a year ago.

 

 

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

 

 

Included in the Partnership’s net loss of $112,000 is $68,000 of depreciation and amortization.  Excluding these non-cash items, the Partnership incurred a cash flow deficit of $58,000.  This deficit was covered by additional advances from the General Partner and by the deferral of interest and management fee payments due to the General Partner and/or its affiliates.

 

 

 

The Partnership’s ability to continue to operate through 2003 and beyond is contingent on among other factors, the improvement in Tower Park Marina operations and continued advances (or deferral by) the General Partners.  Management’s plans include the expenditure of approximately $150,000 in additional repairs and capital improvements during 2003, which management believes will continue to improve the operating results of the property

ITEM 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Registrant is exposed to changes in interest rates from its financing arrangement with its General Partners.  The Registrant’s mortgage note payable bears interest at a fixed rate.  See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for terms, valuations, and principal maturity of the mortgage note as of March 31, 2003.  Based on the market rate of the mortgage note, its fair value at March 31, 2003 is deemed to be the carrying value, $1,961,000.

ITEM 4.     Controls and Procedures

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports.  It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.

In addition, we reviewed our internal controls, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.
