YAGER/KUESTER PUBLIC FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Nature of Business:
The Partnership was formed in July 1986 to acquire, operate, hold for
investment and sell real estate. The Partnership currently owns the
EastPark Executive Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. On April 24, 1998,
the Partnership sold its only other real property holding, the BB&T
building facilities (formerly the UCB building) located in Greenville,
South Carolina.
2. Opinion of Management:
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which were normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation. The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results which may be expected for an entire year.
3. Statement of Cash Flows:
For purposes of reporting the statements of cash flows, the Partnership
includes all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal
restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash and cash
equivalents on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
4. Priority Return:
At December 31, 2001, the cumulative unpaid priority return to the unit
holders was $3,137,969 compared to $2,895,185 one year prior. This
increase resulted from no distributions being made to partners during the
year. Based on the current and projected commercial real estate market
conditions, the General Partners believe that it is reasonably unlikely
that a sale of the remaining Partnership property would produce net sale
proceeds sufficient to pay any of such priority return. Furthermore, the
General Partners believe that it is reasonably unlikely that the
Partnership's operating income or any refinancing of Partnership debt
would generate sufficient funds to pay any portion of the priority return.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Changes in Financial Condition
- ------------------------------
There have not been any significant changes in financial condition from December
31, 2001 to September 30, 2002. Accrued expenses have increased from year-end
due to the monthly accrual of the 2002 real property taxes. The tenant, General
Services Administration ("GSA"), historically pays rent in arrears and therefore
an account receivable is established. In September, the GSA paid its rent early
thereby reducing the receivable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership operations
continued to meet working capital requirements and working capital was increased
by approximately $5,000. The working capital as of September 30, 2002 was
$106,820. On June 4, 2002 the General Partners refinanced the existing loan with
Wachovia Bank, NA (formerly First Union National Bank). The new loan matures on
December 31, 2004 with interest at the bank's prime rate (currently 4.75%).
Monthly principal payments of $7,000 commenced on August 31, 2002. The new
principal payment is $2,000 higher than the $5,000 previously required.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are comparable to
the same period of the prior year. Rental income is up approximately 2% due to
escalation increases for the current tenants and increased occupancy. Operating
expenses are up approximately 3% as compared to the same period of the prior
year primarily due to the increase in utilities. Interest expense continues to
be down from the prior year due to the decrease in interest rates on the
floating rate loan. Interest expense is currently down approximately 39% from
the prior year.
Status of EastPark Executive Center
- -----------------------------------
The General Partners remain committed to selling the EastPark facility and
continue to have it listed with a commercial real estate broker. At this time,
the facility is not under contract with any potential buyers. The General
Partners are also working towards extending the leases with the current tenants.
Although the facility is 91% leased, all current tenants have the option to
terminate their leases currently or within the next year. GSA has the election
to terminate its lease as of November 2002. The GSA lease accounts for 86% of
the total rental income at East Park; accordingly, the General Partners will
focus their lease extension efforts towards the GSA lease. However, no
assurances can be given that a replacement tenant could be found if GSA decides
to terminate its lease. The General Partners will continue to search for the
best offer for the property and manage it at acceptable standards until such
time as it can sell the property to a qualified buyer.
Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------
This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the
financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future
performance and business of the Partnership. These forward-looking statements
involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially
from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
