1.  Nature of Operations

On May 17, 1979, the stockholders of Reeves Telecom Corporation (the “Corporation”) approved a plan of liquidation (the “Plan”) for the Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The Plan, which was determined by the Internal Revenue Service to qualify as a Section 337 liquidation, authorized the Corporation’s Board of Directors to sell the Corporation’s assets and distribute any remaining unsold assets to its stockholders and/or a liquidation trust.  On May 8, 1980, stockholders at a special meeting approved an amendment to the Plan whereby assets not sold within one year of the date the Plan was approved could be transferred, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, from the Corporation to a South Carolina limited partnership which would undertake to sell the remaining assets on behalf of the stockholders.  Pursuant to the Plan, the Corporation sold all of its broadcasting assets and substantially all of the land held for development and sale at one of its two land development locations and distributed to its stockholders cash of $0.90 per share on February 29, 1980 and $2.30 per share on May 14, 1980.  On May 15, 1980, the Corporation was liquidated and all of its unsold assets and liabilities were transferred to Reeves Telecom Associates, a South Carolina limited partnership (the “Partnership”).  Stockholders of the Corporation received one partnership unit in exchange for each share of common stock.  The units are not listed on any national securities exchange.  In January 1987, pursuant to a change in South Carolina law, the Partnership’s legal name was changed from Reeves Telecom Associates to Reeves Telecom Limited Partnership.

The remaining assets of the Partnership are primarily land held for sale, investments in the form of certificates of deposit, and cash.  The cash was generated primarily from real estate sales, including the sale of a golf club during the first quarter of 2001.  From the liquidation of the remaining assets, the Partnership may acquire additional properties or make distributions to the partners.  The Partnership currently has no intent to acquire additional properties but is not precluded from doing so.

The Partnership intends to continue to sell land in the normal course of business and, while no assurances can be given, the Partnership believes the carrying value of the remaining land is less than its net realizable value.  Should the Partnership elect to effect a bulk sale and/or abandonment, the net amount realized could be less than the carrying value.

The Partnership’s General Partner is Grace Property Management, Inc.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    a.
Basis of accounting - The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s results of operations and financial condition have been included.  Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2010.

REEVES TELECOM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.  The Partnership’s assets have been written down, from time to time, to reflect their fair values based upon appraisals.

     b.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount 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.
Property sales - Property sales represent individual building lots and other undeveloped land sold for cash and the gross sales price of residential houses built or acquired by the Partnership for resale.  The revenue from these sales is recognized at the closing date unless a deferral is required pursuant to The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-20, “Real Estate Sales.”  Land cost included in direct costs of property sold represents the proportionate amount of the total initial project costs, after recorded valuation allowances, based on the sales value of the land sold to the total estimated project sales value plus the value of any capital improvements made subsequent to the initial project costs.

     d.
Properties held for sale and property and equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 8 to 40 years for buildings and 5 to 20 years for equipment and land improvements.

 
Properties held for sale generally represent undeveloped lots for which depreciation expense is not recorded.  The Partnership assesses the realizability of the carrying value of its properties held for sale and related buildings and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that impairment may have occurred in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-21, “When to Test a Long-Lived Asset for Recoverability.”  The Partnership’s assets have been written down, from time to time, to reflect their fair values based upon appraisals.

e.  
Significant concentrations of credit risk – From time to time during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership maintained at its bank cash balances and/or held a certificate of deposit in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured amounts.  The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 provides for a temporary increase until December 31, 2013 in the basic limit on federal deposit insurance coverage per depositor from $100,000 to $250,000.  Unless the temporary increase is extended further or made permanent, the basic deposit insurance limit will return to $100,000 after December 31, 2013.  In the event that a bank where the Partnership maintains its accounts becomes insolvent at a time when the Partnership’s accounts have balances in excess of insured amounts, the Partnership may lose some or all of such excess.

At September 30, 2010, the Partnership maintained at its broker-dealer cash, investments in money market mutual funds and brokered certificates of deposit in excess of Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) insured amounts.  The SIPC provides for supplementing the recovery by customers of a failed broker-dealer by up to $500,000 per customer, including up to $100,000 for cash claims. Although, at September 30, 2010, the greatest portion of the funds were invested in brokered certificates of deposit, each of which is fully insured by the FDIC, at times significant amounts held at the broker-dealer are not invested in FDIC-insured certificates of deposit.  In the event the broker-dealer where the Partnership maintains its accounts becomes insolvent or amounts in the Partnership’s accounts are lost or go missing due to fraud or otherwise, the Partnership may lose some or all of such excess over SIPC-insured amounts.

f.  
Cash and cash equivalents – The Partnership considers cash as cash on hand, cash deposited in financial institutions (other than certificates of deposit), money market accounts, and U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of less than three months at the date of purchase.  Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

g.  
Investments – Investments as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consist of certificates of deposit held with various financial institutions.  These certificates of deposit have been designated as held to maturity.  The investments are reported at their cost.

h.  
Impairment of long-lived assets - The Partnership’s long-lived assets, primarily real estate held for sale, are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.  The Partnership obtains an appraisal periodically (typically, every two years) for the Boiling Spring Lakes property and evaluates the carrying value of the property based on such appraisal.  The Partnership does not expect to reduce the carrying value of the property in the near future based on the most recent appraisal as of December 31, 2009.

The Partnership applies a valuation allowance to land if such land is unsuitable for the installation of an individual septic system as determined by testing conducted by the local health department or, in the absence of such testing, as determined by the Partnership based upon topography.  Land that the Partnership believes to be suitable for the installation of an individual septic system based upon topography may, by subsequent testing, be determined to be unsuitable.  More typically, land that the Partnership believes to be unsuitable for septic based upon topography may, by subsequent testing, be determined to be suitable.  The valuation allowance is allocated among the land held for sale only following each periodic appraisal, while the determination of a particular lot or parcel of land as being suitable or unsuitable for septic may be made at any time prior to the sale of such land.  Since the direct cost of land sold is net of the applicable valuation allowance, the direct cost of a lot or parcel of land that the Partnership believes to be suitable for septic that, on the basis of testing, is subsequently determined to be unsuitable may, therefore, exceed the sales price of such land, in which case the Partnership would realize a loss on the sale of such land.  To the best of management’s knowledge, the Partnership has never realized such a loss, and if such a loss or losses were to occur, management believes that the aggregate amount of such losses would not materially affect the Partnership’s financial condition or results from operations.
 
i.  
Fair value measurements - Effective January 1, 2008, the Partnership adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”.  FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements.  The statement indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability based upon an exit price model.
 
j.  
Recent accounting pronouncementsRecently Adopted/Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. In October 2009, the FASB issued new U.S. GAAP guidance that requires an entity to allocate revenue arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices (the relative-selling-price method). The guidance eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation, in which the undelivered element is measured at its estimated selling price and the delivered element is measured as the residual of the arrangement consideration, and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables. The new guidance must be adopted no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after September 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted through either prospective application for revenue arrangements entered into, or materially modified, after the effective date or through retrospective application to all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an effect on its financial statements.

(Unaudited)
 
Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements. In January 2010, the FASB issued new U.S. GAAP guidance to enhance the usefulness of fair value measurements that requires both the disaggregation of information in certain existing disclosures, as well as the inclusion of more robust disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements.

All other new and recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not relevant to the Partnership and therefore are not expected to have any impact once adopted.

3.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
 
Dam Repairs

The Partnership is responsible for the maintenance and repair of an earthen dam designed to retain water in one of the lakes.  The dam was breeched in 1996 and the Partnership has spent approximately $185,000 in repairs since 2001.  The Partnership intends to deed the dam to the City of Boiling Spring Lakes, but the city has required additional repairs before accepting ownership.  The Partnership believes that damage to the dam, such as could occur during a hurricane or a flood, before the transfer of title could result in significant additional repair costs.

Commitment for Municipal Water Service

Most of the land owned by the Partnership lacks municipal water service.  The City of Boiling Spring Lakes began to phase in municipal water service to certain portions of the development in 2004.  A significant portion of the costs of water distribution to land owned by the Partnership must be borne by the Partnership or by subsequent purchasers of the land.  In 2009, the City of Boiling Spring Lakes began work on an expansion of the municipal water system.   The Partnership believes that such work should be completed by the summer of 2011.  The cost of the expansion is to be borne by owners of land directly passed by new water mains by the payment of an assessment of $500 per lot plus a tap fee of $860 per lot containing a dwelling.  The Partnership’s total assessment was determined to be $49,500 based upon a formula that allows adjoining lots to be aggregated into a group and counted as one lot for assessment purposes.  Should the Partnership sell some, but not all of the lots that were aggregated into a group, an additional assessment may have to be paid by the Partnership with respect to such lots at the time the sale of such lots is closed.  The Partnership capitalized $49,500 of assessments in 2009 by increasing the cost basis of land affected.  In May 2010, the City of Boiling Spring Lakes transferred ownership of the municipal water system to Brunswick County.

Commitment for Municipal Sewer Service

The land owned by the Partnership lacks municipal sewer service.  In May 2010, the City of Boiling Spring Lakes transferred ownership of the municipal water system to Brunswick County in exchange for the County’s construction of a wastewater collection system within a portion of Boiling Spring Lakes and an associated sewer treatment and transmission system.  Brunswick County’s plans for the first phase of municipal sewer service involve sewer lines for the business district that runs along a stretch of State Road 87, the main road into and out of the development, including land owned by the Partnership.  A significant portion of the costs of the sewer lines for that land, and other land owned by the Partnership for which sewer lines may be placed in the future, must be borne by the Partnership or by subsequent purchasers of the land.  The Partnership believes that the first phase should be completed by the end of 2012.  At this time the Partnership has not been notified of the amount of any assessment relating to the sewer lines nor of the date when any such assessment will be due.  If any land subject to such assessment were to be sold prior to the Partnership being assessed, of which there can be no assurance, the selling price would likely be reduced by the anticipated amount of such assessment.
 
Environmental Matters

The Partnership is subject to various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations regarding environmental matters.  The Partnership may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases on land currently or formerly owned by it, and may be liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and the cost of investigation, removal, and decontamination incurred by such parties.  The penalty may be imposed whether or not the Partnership was aware of, or responsible for, the hazardous or toxic substances, and the liability under such laws has been interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is divisible and there is a reasonable basis for allocation of responsibility.  The cost of investigation, removal, and decontamination of substances could be substantial.  If such substances are found on the land currently owned by the Partnership, or there is a failure to properly remove or decontaminate the area, the property could be difficult to sell, rent, or develop.  Some environmental laws create a lien on a contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with such contamination.  The Partnership may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from a site.  As of the date of this report, the Partnership is not aware of any environmental matters that would have a material effect on the financial statements and, accordingly, the Partnership has accrued no liabilities in these financial statements.  However, it is at least reasonably possible that such matters may exist at the date of this report, and the effect on the Partnership and these financial statements could be substantial.

Endangered / Protected Species

Portions of Boiling Spring Lakes and the surrounding area are known as or believed to be the habitat of various species of flora and fauna which have been identified as endangered or protected species.  Development of the Partnership’s land is subject to various laws and regulations intended to limit disturbance of endangered and protected species.

The red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) is one endangered species known to inhabit portions of Boiling Spring Lakes.  During 2006, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service undertook certain initiatives to preserve the habitat of the endangered woodpecker, and for a portion of 2006 the City of Boiling Spring Lakes temporarily ceased issuing building permits altogether for land in the proximity of a known or suspected nesting site.  The Partnership believes that not more than approximately 200 acres, or approximately 24%, of the Partnership’s land may be affected by restrictions relating to the red-cockaded woodpecker, although the amount of land affected could increase under certain circumstances. Management believes that the Partnership’s land sales will continue to be reduced compared to prior years until the City of Boiling Spring Lakes has developed and implemented a conservation plan to protect the habitat of the red-cockaded woodpecker or until other means of addressing the concerns of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can be implemented.

The Partnership has not made any representations or warranties to buyers of land as to the red-cockaded woodpecker or to protected or endangered species generally.  Nevertheless, it is reasonably possible that one or more such buyers may seek compensation from the Partnership or seek rescission of their purchase of land from the Partnership, owing to the presence of protected or endangered species on or near the land or to restrictions on issuing building permits designed to preserve the habitat of protected or endangered species, preventing such buyer from utilizing the land in the manner intended.  If any litigation is instituted seeking compensation or rescission due to endangered and protected species, the Partnership believes that it would prevail on the merits, although no such assurances can be given, but the cost of defending such litigation could be substantial.  As of the date of this report, there is no pending litigation, and the Partnership is not aware of any potential claims or actions relating to these matters.  The Partnership has made no provision in the financial statements related to this contingent liability.

The Partnership believes that the lakes within the City of Boiling Spring Lakes are recreational and scenic attractions to potential buyers of land from the Partnership.  The Partnership’s ability to sell land at its asking prices would be adversely affected if the water level in the lakes was to be substantially below normal for any length of time.  Due to drought or near drought conditions for much of 2007, nearly all the lakes within the City of Boiling Spring Lakes had a water level substantially below normal.   These conditions resulted in a lowering of the water level, and sinkholes developed in the bed of Boiling Spring Lake, the largest lake in the community.  Remedial measures taken by the city solved the issue of the sinkholes; however, the lack of normal rainfall prevented the lakes, including Boiling Spring Lake, from returning to approximately normal levels for some time after the remedial measures were taken.  The water level of most of the lakes, including Boiling Spring Lake, has since returned to approximately normal.  The Partnership has not made any representations or warranties to buyers of land as to the water level in the lakes.  Nevertheless, it is reasonably possible that one or more of such buyers may seek compensation from the Partnership or seek rescission of their purchase of land from the Partnership, owing to the water level of the lakes being substantially below normal, whether due to damage to the dam, protracted drought conditions or otherwise.  If any litigation is instituted seeking compensation or rescission, the Partnership believes that it would prevail on the merits, although no such assurances can be given, but the cost of defending such litigation could be substantial.  As of the date of this report, there is no pending litigation, and the Partnership is not aware of any potential claims or actions in these matters.  The Partnership has made no provision in the financial statements related to this contingent liability.

Building and Maintaining Roads

The Partnership is responsible for maintaining certain roads, most of which are unpaved, and certain road rights-of-way within the City of Boiling Spring Lakes. The Partnership may complete some or all of the roads, but there is no contractual obligation to do so.  The Partnership has not set aside any money or entered into any bond, escrow, or trust agreement to assure completion of the roads.  It may be difficult or impossible for the Partnership to sell lots located on uncompleted roads.  The City of Boiling Spring Lakes will not assume any road that is not paved with asphalt, and the City of Boiling Spring Lakes need not assume any paved road.  Accordingly, unless and until the Partnership completes a road and has it paved with asphalt, and the road has been assumed by the City of Boiling Spring Lakes, the Partnership will be responsible for maintaining such road and the right-of-way.  Since 2001, the Partnership has spent approximately $193,000 for rocking and paving roads.  The failure by the Partnership to provide proper maintenance of the roads and rights-of-way which have not been assumed by the City of Boiling Spring Lakes may subject the Partnership to substantially greater risk of litigation from persons adversely affected by such failure.  If such litigation were to be initiated, the Partnership believes that it would prevail, but that the cost of defending the case could be substantial, and should the Partnership not prevail, the cost of building any such road could be substantial.

Local Real Estate Market Conditions

In April 2006, the market for undeveloped land within the City of Boiling Spring Lakes slowed considerably, primarily due to efforts by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“Fish and Wildlife”) to protect the habitat of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis).  We believe that certain restrictions that went into effect in 2006 on building within proximity to known or suspected nesting or foraging areas of the red-cockaded woodpecker has had the effect of reducing our real estate sales since 2006, and will likely have the effect of reducing our real estate sales in the future from what might otherwise have been realized in the absence of such restrictions.  In 2007, we began a program to study tree density in known foraging areas to determine the potential for coexistence where sufficient tree density exists, that is, that houses can be built on lots now owned by us while retaining a sufficiently vibrant foraging area for the woodpeckers.  Work on this program was paused during 2010 while we reviewed the progress and the program costs, and we may resume the program in 2011.  We believe that this program may reduce the amount of our land that is subject to restrictions on development because of the red-cockaded woodpecker, although there can be no assurance that any such reduction will occur or, if it occurs, that such reduction will have a material affect on our business.  We are also participating in a program to study the possibility of relocating the nests of the red-cockaded woodpecker to nearby lands.  During 2009, the State of North Carolina allocated resources to a community board to fund the development of this citywide habitat conservation plan; however, the City of Boiling Spring Lakes has, at least temporarily, put any such conservation plan on hold and, in any event, there can be no assurance that relocation of nests will, in fact, occur as a result of this study or otherwise.

Local financial institutions generally tightened credit requirements since 2008, in part due to concerns over the subprime lending market, that is, real estate loans extended to borrowers with poor credit.  We believe that these more restrictive lending practices by area banks have contributed, in part, to a sluggish local real estate market.

Residential

The National Bureau of Economic Research declared recently that the worst recession to have hit the United States since World War II ended in June 2009.  While there are many indications of economic growth across the country, the real estate market in Brunswick County remains significantly slower than in 2007 and 2008, as evidenced by the following:
 
14

 
REEVES TELECOM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

       •
City-data.com, an Internet-based source for information on real estate, reports that the number of homes in Brunswick County sold during the third quarter of 2010 was lower than for any quarter since 2004; and

       •
Data from the North Carolina Association of Realtors for the Brunswick County Multiple Listing Service region (which region includes, in North Carolina, all of Bladen, Brunswick, and Columbus Counties and a portion of New Hanover County, and, in South Carolina, a portion of Horry County) shows that, for the first nine months of 2010, the number of existing homes sold was 1,098, less than for the same periods of 2009 and 2008, and only marginally higher than for the same period of 2007.

 The local real estate market continues to see short sales, that is, sales of houses at prices less than the amount of debt on the property, as well as foreclosures, both of which have the effect of increasing the supply of homes for sale and thereby reducing the selling prices of such homes.  In addition, the real estate market in the City of Boiling Spring Lakes continues to be adversely affected by efforts, beginning in April 2006, by Fish and Wildlife to protect the habitat of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker.  We believe that certain restrictions that went into effect in 2006 on building within proximity to known or suspected nesting or foraging areas of the red-cockaded woodpecker have contributed to our lack of real estate sales in the first nine months of 2010 by limiting new construction in the community.

It is unclear at this time when the market in Brunswick County and, more particularly, in the City of Boiling Spring Lakes will see any significant improvement.  Until the market for existing homes improves significantly, the market for buildable lots, such as those we sell, will continue to be sluggish, at best.  During 2010, we dropped our asking price on most residential lots by 40% to come into line with the prices asked by other sellers of lots in the City of Boiling Spring Lakes; however, there remains a large inventory of lots available for sale in the City of Boiling Spring Lakes, and relatively few transactions are being completed.  Notwithstanding the drop in our asking prices, we expect to have no significant real estate sales until the number of short sales and foreclosures in the local market moderates, economic conditions improve, and financial institutions loosen credit requirements.

  Commercial

Historically, our sales of commercial land have been sporadic, and often we record no sales of commercial land in a year.  Commercial development in the City of Boiling Spring Lakes has largely been concentrated along a stretch of State Road 87, the main road into and out of the development.  The local commercial real estate market has traditionally not been very strong, due to the city’s relatively small population, the lack of sewer service, and the availability of shopping and services in nearby towns, especially Southport, and large regional shopping centers in Wilmington.  Construction of commercial buildings along State Road 87 was active during 2006, declined in 2007 and 2008, and was very slow in 2009 and the first nine months of 2010.  We believe that if construction of commercial buildings along State Road 87 increased, it could have a positive effect on the sale of commercial land by the Partnership, but the timing and amount of revenue generated from such sales cannot be accurately projected.

Recent Developments in the Local Real Estate Market

In May 2010, the City of Boiling Spring Lakes transferred ownership of the municipal water system to Brunswick County in exchange for the County’s construction of a wastewater collection system within a portion of Boiling Spring Lakes and an associated sewer treatment and transmission system.  We own approximately 219 acres of land zoned or intended for commercial use, most of which land fronts on State Road 87.  We expect that the County will ultimately seek to recover the cost of installing that sewer line through assessments of those who own property along the effected route.  At this time, we cannot estimate the amount of any such assessments that the Partnership might face, nor can we predict when such assessments will be due.  Accordingly, no provision for such assessments has been made in the Partnership’s financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2009

   ■   Revenue

Property Sales

We had no revenue from property sales during the third quarter of 2010 and in the corresponding period of 2009 because we sold no land during those periods.  Management attributes the lack of sales principally to three factors:

       •
The slow pace of economic conditions generally, which has led to, among other effects, a high number of short sales and foreclosures in the local market compared to past years;

       •
The maintenance of, or in some cases an increase in, restrictive lending practices by area banks that have the effect of making it more difficult than in past years for potential borrowers to obtain financing to purchase and build on land such as that sold by us; and

       •
Efforts by Fish and Wildlife to protect the habitat of the red-cockaded woodpecker within and nearby the City of Boiling Spring Lakes, which efforts have led to certain restrictions on development in the area generally.

16

 
REEVES TELECOM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

Interest Income

Interest income decreased 27%.  The decrease is due, in part, to lower interest rates on securities that we held for investment during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, and, in part, to the average amount we had invested in securities during the three months ended September 30, 2010 being lower than for the same period of 2009.  The decrease in interest rates reflects efforts by the U.S. Federal Reserve System to stimulate the U.S. economy through lower interest rates.  The lower amounts invested reflects our lack of revenues from property sales and our consequent need to use cash received at maturity of some of our investments to pay our operating expenses.


   ■   Direct Costs of Property Sold

We sold no land during the three months ended September 30, 2010 or during the three months ended September 30, 2009.  As a result, we recorded no direct costs of property sold for such periods.


   ■   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were 1% higher than for the same period of 2009.  The significant changes among the principal components of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows:

Advertising Expenses

Advertising expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $2,314, compared to $820 for the same period of 2009.  The 182% increase is due principally to the Partnership’s efforts to spur real estate sales amid indications that the real estate market may be recovering.

Accounting Fees and Expenses

Accounting fees and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $12,109, compared to $7,500 for the same period of 2009.  The 62% increase is due, in part, to non-recurring fees we incurred during the third quarter of 2010 in connection with responding to comments issued by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding our disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which matter was resolved satisfactorily, and, in part, to an increase in accounting fees and expenses relating to our interim financial statements.
 
17

 
REEVES TELECOM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

Legal Fees

Legal fees for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $2,686, compared to $9,569 for the same period of 2009.  The 72% decrease is due, in part, to higher than anticipated legal fees incurred during 2009 in connection with the review of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which higher fees were recorded and paid during the third quarter of 2009.  The decrease is also due, in part, to our changing legal counsel during 2010, from a law firm based in Nassau County, New York to law firm based in Hartford County, Connecticut.  Typically, law firms based in or near New York City charge higher fees than law firms based elsewhere.

   ■   Depreciation

Depreciation for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was not significantly changed from that for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

   ■   Revenue

Property Sales

We had no revenue from property sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 or in the corresponding period of 2009 because we sold no land during those periods.  Management attributes the lack of sales principally to three factors:

       •
The slow pace of economic conditions generally;

       •
The maintenance of, or in some cases an increase in, more restrictive lending practices by area banks that have or have had the effect of making it more difficult than in past years for potential borrowers to obtain financing to purchase and build on land such as that sold by us; and

       •
Efforts by Fish and Wildlife to protect the habitat of the red-cockaded woodpecker within and nearby the City of Boiling Spring Lakes, which efforts have led to certain restrictions on development in the area generally.

REEVES TELECOM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
Interest Income

Interest income decreased 61%.  The decrease is attributable, in part, to lower interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, and, in part, to the average amount we had invested in interest-bearing securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 being lower than for the same period of 2009.  The decrease in interest rates reflects efforts by the U.S. Federal Reserve System to stimulate the U.S. economy through lower interest rates.  The lower amounts invested reflects our lack of revenues from property sales during 2010 and our consequent need to use cash received at maturity of some of our investments to pay our operating expenses.

   ■   Direct Costs of Property Sold

We sold no land during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  As a result, we recorded no direct costs of property sold for such periods.
 
   ■   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were 4% higher than for the same period of 2009.  The significant changes among the principal components of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows:

Advertising Expenses

Advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $5,810, compared to $3,594 for the same period of 2009.  The 62% increase is due principally to the Partnership’s efforts to spur real estate sales amid indications that the real estate market may be recovering.

Accounting Fees and Expenses

Accounting fees and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $30,514, compared to $25,857 for the same period of 2009.  The 18% increase is due, in part, to non-recurring fees we incurred during the third quarter of 2010 in connection with responding to comments issued by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding our disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which matter was resolved satisfactorily, and, in part, to an increase in accounting fees and expenses relating to our interim financial statements.
 
19

 
REEVES TELECOM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

Legal Fees and Filing-Related Costs

Legal fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $14,476, compared to $18,740 for the same period of 2009.  The 23% decrease reflects the net effect of non-recurring legal fees incurred during each period.  In January 2010, we filed a Form 8-K and a Form 8-K Amendment with the SEC relating to the change in our auditors.  In connection with those filings, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred non-recurring legal fees and filing-related costs totaling $8,150.  No costs were incurred on such matters during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  During the first nine months of 2009, we incurred non-recurring legal fees of $2,372 relating to a review of the process for approving the substitution of limited partners when partnership units are transferred, and for a periodic review of our standard form land sale contracts.  No legal fees were incurred for such matters during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Miscellaneous Expenses

Miscellaneous expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $7,834, compared to $5,244 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Substantially all of the increase is due to expenses incurred in connection with the periodic appraisal of our real estate assets that we obtained during the first quarter of 2010.  We did not incur similar expenses during 2009.

   ■   Depreciation

Depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was not significantly changed from that for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   ■   General

At September 30, 2010, we had $70,946 in cash and $2,365,000 invested in certificates of deposit having a maturity of less than one year.  There was no long-term debt.  Accounts payable and accrued expenses, including accrued expenses owed to affiliates, as of such date totaled $181,750.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for administrative and operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures (such as road maintenance and repair), and nonrecurring capital expenditures (such as dam repairs and assessments for municipal water and sewer).  In the past, we typically satisfied these requirements through cash generated from operations; however, because we have generated less than $18,000 in real estate sales since the second quarter of 2007, we have had to satisfy these liquidity requirements in recent years by utilizing existing cash balances.
 
20

 
REEVES TELECOM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

Our long-term liquidity requirements generally consist of funding capital expenditures associated with road maintenance and repair, rocking or paving of roads where there currently exist only graded or partially graded rights of way, assessments for municipal water and sewer, potential acquisitions of or investments in real estate development projects, and payment of principal and interest on any debt incurred to finance any of our projects.  Other than debt service payments (of which we have had none since 2006) and assessments, all of these liquidity requirements may be viewed as discretionary in that we exercise significant control over the amounts and timing of such expenditures.  In the past, we typically satisfied these requirements through cash generated from operations; however, because we have generated less than $18,000 in real estate sales since the second quarter of 2007, we have had to satisfy these liquidity requirements in recent years by utilizing existing cash balances.

Until an estimate can be made with some degree of certainty as to the costs that we will have to bear for future assessments relating to the installation of water distribution and sewer lines, the General Partner expects to continue investing a significant portion of our cash balances in securities having a maturity of less than one year to provide liquidity to meet the assessments for such costs.

   ■   Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities used $414,876 of net cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $373,133 of net cash used during the same period of 2009.  Management attributes the change primarily to a greater net loss for the first nine months of 2010 than for the same period of 2009.

   ■   Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Investing activities used $1,166,095 of net cash during the first nine months of 2010, compared to $320,000 of net cash provided during the same period of 2009.  The change is due principally to the timing of maturities of the Partnership’s investments held and the reinvestment of the proceeds during the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009.  During January 2010, we invested $1,165,000 in certificates of deposit using the proceeds of certificates of deposit that matured in December 2009, whereas in January 2009 we had no uninvested proceeds from certificates of deposit that matured in December 2008.

 
21

 
REEVES TELECOM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

   ■   Long-term Debt

The Partnership had no long-term debt outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 or the same period of 2009.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Partnership does not utilize off balance sheet arrangements, and there were none during the first nine months of 2010 or 2009.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our principal market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates, which are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control.  Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our revenue from property sales because the market for real estate in general varies to a large degree upon the level and stability of interest rates.  Generally, when interest rates are high or are increasing, the market for real estate declines, and when interest rates are low or are decreasing, the market for real estate increases.  Despite the current environment of low interest rates, however, we have generated no significant property sales since the second quarter of 2007 because of other reasons discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Management believes that the extent of such interest rate risk is neither quantifiable nor predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and because of the highly variable nature of our real estate sales due to reasons other than interest rates.

We also have exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates due primarily to the following:

       •
Cash:  A portion of our cash is deposited in accounts at a local financial institution bearing interest at variable rates.  If interest rates were to increase, we would earn more interest income on our cash balances.  If interest rates were to decrease, we would earn less interest income on our cash balances.  For the third quarter of 2010, our average cash balance, calculated as the average of the balances on the first and last days of the quarter, was $69,206, and, at September 30, 2010, we had cash of $70,946.

       •
Certificates of deposit:  We invest a substantial portion of our cash in certificates of deposit having a maturity of less than one year because we are able to earn a higher rate of interest on cash held in time deposit accounts, such as certificates of deposit, than on cash held in demand deposit accounts, such as checking and money market accounts.  All of such securities are classified as securities held to maturity; hence, we bear substantially no risk of loss due to a change in the market value of any certificate of deposit we own resulting from a change in interest rates prior to maturity of such certificate of deposit.  If interest rates were to increase, upon sale or maturity of the certificates of deposit currently held, we would earn more interest income upon reinvestment of the proceeds due to a higher interest rate on the certificates of deposit then purchased.   If interest rates were to decrease, upon sale or maturity of the certificates of deposit currently held, we would earn less interest income upon reinvestment of the proceeds due to a lower interest rate on the certificates of deposit then purchased.   For the third quarter of 2010, the average amount invested in certificates of deposit, calculated as the average of the balances on the first and last days of the quarter, was $2,432,500, and, at September 30, 2010, we held $2,365,000 in certificates of deposit having a maturity at the time of purchase of less than one year.
 
22

 
REEVES TELECOM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
Had the average level of annual interest rates earned on our cash balances and certificates of deposit during the three months ended September 30, 2010 been higher or lower by 100 basis points or one percent (1%), our net income would have been approximately $6,206 more and $3,502 less, respectively.  The foregoing estimate of the change in net income is based upon the average of the balances of cash and certificates of deposit on the first and last days of the quarter as described in the preceding two paragraphs, and assumes that the interest rate on any cash balance or certificate of deposit bearing an interest rate of one percent (1%) or less would be reduced to 0%.

We had no interest-bearing debt outstanding during the third quarter of 2010.

We do not enter into derivative contracts for our own account to hedge against the risk of changes in interest rates.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Mr. Davis P. Stowell, the president of our General Partner, carries out the functions of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and, accordingly, he is deemed to be our “management” for the purpose of evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures and the effectiveness thereof.  Mr. Stowell has, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).  Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Stowell has concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the third fiscal quarter of 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
