Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993

Item 1. Business
Balcor Realty Investors-84 (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1982 under the laws of the State of Illinois. The Registrant raised $140,000,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests. The Registrant's operations consist exclusively of investment in and operation of real property, and all information included in this report relates to this industry segment.
The Registrant utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire twenty-three real property investments and a minority joint venture interest in one additional property. Two properties have been sold and titles to five properties, including the property in which the Registrant had a minority joint venture interest, have been relinquished through foreclosure. As of December 31, 1993, the Registrant owned the seventeen properties described under "Properties" (Item 2). The Partnership Agreement provides that the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of the Registrant's properties will not be reinvested in new acquisitions.
During 1993, the multi-family residential real estate industry in certain cities and regions of the country experienced improvements in occupancy levels and rental rates. These improvements are due in part to recoveries in local economies along with low levels of new construction of rental units in recent years, which has led to higher occupancies and increased rental revenues for existing properties. Of the Registrant's seventeen properties, during 1993, ten generated positive cash flow while seven generated marginal cash flow deficits. Many rental markets continue to remain extremely competitive; therefore, the General Partner's goals are to maintain high occupancy levels, while increasing rents where possible, and to monitor and control operating expenses and capital improvement requirements at the properties.
Historically, real estate investments have experienced the same cyclical characteristics affecting most other types of long-term investments. While real estate values have generally risen over time, the cyclical character of real estate investments, together with local, regional and national market conditions, has resulted in periodic devaluations of real estate in particular markets, as has been experienced in the last few years. As a result of these factors, it has become necessary for the Registrant to retain ownership of many of its properties for longer than the holding period for the assets originally described in the prospectus. The General Partner examines the operations of each property and each local market individually when determining the optimal time to sell each of the Registrant's properties.
Although investors have received certain tax benefits, the Registrant has not commenced distributions. Future distributions will depend on improved cash flow from the Registrant's remaining properties and proceeds from future property sales, as to which there can be no assurances. In light of results to date and the current market conditions, the General Partner does not anticipate that investors will recover a substantial portion of their original investment.
The Registrant is largely dependent on loans from the General Partner and owed approximately $11,166,000 to the General Partner at December 31, 1993, in connection with funds advanced for working capital purposes. These loans are expected to be repaid from available cash flow from future property operations, or from proceeds received from the disposition of the Registrant's real estate investments prior to any distributions to the Limited Partners from these sources.
Although an affiliate of the General Partner has, in certain circumstances, provided mortgage loans for certain properties of the Registrant, there can be no assurance that loans of this type will be available from either an affiliate or the General Partner in the future. The General Partner may continue to provide additional short-term loans to the Registrant or to fund working capital needs or property operating deficits, although there is no assurance that such loans will be available. Should such short-term loans not be available, the General Partner will seek alternative third party sources of financing working capital. However, the current economic environment and its impact on the real estate industry make it unlikely that the Registrant would be able to secure financing from third parties to fund working capital needs or operating deficits. Should additional borrowings be needed and not be available either through the General Partner or third parties, the Registrant may be required to dispose of some of its properties to satisfy these obligations.
In instances where the General Partner concludes that the Registrant's investment objectives cannot be met by continuing to own a particular property and fund operating deficits, the Registrant has suspended and may in the future suspend debt service payments or sell the property at a price less than its original cost. Suspension of debt service payments may lead to a renegotiation of terms with lenders which would permit the Registrant to continue to own properties or may lead to foreclosure or other action by lenders which would result in the relinquishment of title to properties in satisfaction of the outstanding mortgage loan balances. In the case of each property, the General Partner will pursue modification of underlying debt, consider suspending debt service payments and/or deferring non-critical repair and maintenance costs and analyze present and projected market conditions and projections for operations prior to determining the disposition of a property.
In April 1992, the terms of the modification of the mortgage loan payable collateralized by the Highland Glen apartment complex expired and the loan returned to its original terms, signficantly increasing the monthly debt service requirements. The Registrant suspended debt service payments while attempting to negotiate a further modification of the loan terms. In July 1992, the lender filed foreclosure proceedings against the property. A receiver was appointed and took possession of the property in September 1992. The Registrant relinquished title to the property through foreclosure during May 1993. See Note 13 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
The Pinebrook apartment complex is owned by a joint venture consisting of the Registrant and an affiliated partnership. The $5,185,000 wrap-around mortgage payable collateralized by the property matured in July 1993. The joint venture reviewed its options, among which were a sale of the property and a refinancing or modification of the purchase money wrap-around mortgage. However, the loan amount expected to be available on a refinancing was less than the current debt outstanding, and the joint venture partners did not have the cash reserves needed to fund the difference. Accordingly, the joint venture suspended debt service payments and began negotiations with the lender for a discounted buy-out of the $5,185,000 purchase money wrap-around mortgage note. In response, the lender filed foreclosure proceedings and in December 1992, the joint venture filed for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In January 1994, a plan of reorganization was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings and Note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
During April 1993, the Registrant completed a refinancing of the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Ridgetree - Phase I apartment complex. The refinancing resulted in new first and second mortgage loans from an unaffiliated lender. The Registrant recognized an extraordinary gain from debt forgiveness in connection with the refinancing. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
During May 1993, the Registrant completed a refinancing of the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Woodland Hills apartment complex. The refinancing resulted in a new first mortgage loan from an unaffiliated lender and a reduction of the second mortgage loan payable to an affiliate of the General Partner, as a requirement of the first mortgage loan. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
During June 1993, the Registrant obtained a first mortgage loan collateralized by the Chesapeake apartment complex. This first mortgage loan replaces the bonds collateralized by the property, which the Registrant had purchased in 1991. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
During July 1993 and March 1994, the Registrant completed modifications of the mortgage notes payable collateralized by the Antlers and Quail Lakes apartment complexes, respectively. The modifications extended the maturity dates and adjusted the interest rates. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
During October 1993, the Registrant completed a refinancing of the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Chimney Ridge apartment complex. The refinancing resulted in a new first mortgage loan from an unaffiliated lender. The Registrant recognized an extraordinary gain from debt forgiveness in connection with the refinancing. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
The officers and employees of Balcor Partners-XV, the General Partner of the Registrant, and its affiliates perform services for the Registrant. The Registrant currently has 103 full-time and 64 part-time employees engaged in its operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
(a & b) Pinebrook Apartments
Pinebrook Apartments was originally acquired by a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") consisting of the Registrant and an affiliate (the "Affiliate"). The property is encumbered by a purchase money note and wrap-around mortgage note payable to Lexington Associates ("Lexington"). The Lexington Note wrapped around two mortgage notes payable to First Equities Corporation ("First Equities"), a mortgage note payable to Tates Creek Place ("Tates Creek"), and a first mortgage note payable to Travelers Insurance Company ("Travelers"). In January 1992, Pinebrook Limited Partnership, another joint venture consisting of the Registrant and the Affiliate purchased both of First Equities' notes.
In November 1992, the Joint Venture suspended debt service payments on the Lexington Note and subsequently filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, In re Pinebrook Investors, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of Kentucky, Case #92-52183.
In January 1994, a plan of reorganization (the "Plan") was approved which is expected to be effective during the second quarter of 1994. Under the Plan, the wrap-around feature of each of the notes will be terminated and the notes will become first, second, third and fourth mortgage notes. Travelers' allowed claim is expected to be equal to the outstanding principal amount under its loan, plus accrued interest, and each of Tates Creek, Pinebrook and Lexington are expected to be allowed claims equal to the equity balance in their respective notes, plus accrued interest, including the debt service payments that have been withheld since November 1992.
Under the Plan, the Joint Venture will make monthly payments as follows: first, to Travelers of principal and interest, with interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum and based upon a 30 year amortization schedule, and next to Tates Creek, interest only, with interest at a rate of 8.875% per annum. Thereafter, any excess net cash flow from the property will be paid monthly as follows: (1) first, to Pinebrook, interest only at a rate of 10% per annum; (2) next to Lexington, interest only at an interest rate of 10% per annum; (3)and finally to holders of unsecured claims against the Joint Venture. Any deficiency in the payments to Pinebrook and Lexington will accrue and be paid in future months as net cash flow from property operations are available or from the proceeds of a sale of the property.
If the Joint Venture is in default of any of its obligations under the Plan to Travelers or Tates Creek, the Bankruptcy Court may conduct an auction of the property upon Travelers or Tates Creek's request no later than 90 days after such request.
Under the Plan, the Joint Venture must attempt to sell the property within two years after the effective date of the plan. In the event that the property is not sold by such date, the property will be put up for auction no later than 90 days thereafter.
The debt service payments withheld by the Joint Venture since November 1992 have been placed in a segregated account; the Joint Venture will be required to use these funds for property operations. To the extent any of these funds remain upon the sale of the property, the funds will be distributed along with the sale proceeds in order of priority as described below.
Net proceeds from a disposition of the property will be payable as follows: (1) first, to pay tax claims against the Joint Venture, if any; (2) next, to pay amounts outstanding under Travelers' note (3) next, to pay amounts outstanding under Tates Creek's note; (4) next, to pay amounts outstanding under Pinebrook's notes; (5) next, to pay amounts outstanding under Lexington's note; (6) next, to pay any unsecured claims; and (7) any remaining amount will be paid to the Joint Venture.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Balcor Realty Investors-84 (the "Partnership") was formed in 1982 to invest in and operate income-producing real property. The Partnership raised $140,000,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to acquire twenty-three real property investments and a minority joint venture interest in one additional property. To date, two properties have been sold and titles to five properties, including the property in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture interest, have been relinquished through foreclosure. The Partnership continues to operate the seventeen remaining properties.
Operations
Summary of Operations
As discussed below, operations of the Highland Glen apartment complex, which had generated a net loss during 1992, were recognized only through September 1992, the date the property was placed in receivership. Title to this property was subsequently relinquished through foreclosure in May 1993 and the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain in connection with the transaction. In addition, the Ridgetree Phase I first mortgage loan was repaid at a discount in April 1993 which resulted in an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt. As a result of these transactions, the Partnership generated net income during 1993 as compared to a net loss during 1992.
In 1991, title to the Canyon Creek apartment complex was relinquished through foreclosure and the Partnership sold the Sunrise Village apartment complex. For financial statement purposes, the gains recognized by the Partnership as a result of these dispositions resulted in an increase in the net loss of the Partnership during 1992 as compared to 1991. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.
1993 Compared to 1992
After the Partnership suspended debt service payments on the Highland Glen apartment complex and the lender filed foreclosure proceedings, a receiver was appointed and took possession of the property in September 1992. In accordance with the Partnership's accounting policies, the financial statements do not reflect the operations of the property subsequent to the date the receiver was appointed. This caused decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on purchase price, promissory and mortgage notes payable, depreciation expense, property operating expenses, maintenance and repair expenses, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1993 as compared to 1992. These decreases were partially or, in certain cases, fully offset by the events described below. During May 1993, title to the Highland Glen apartment complex was relinquished to the mortgage holder through foreclosure. As a result, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on foreclosure during 1993.
Fourteen of the Partnership's remaining properties experienced improved occupancy levels and/or higher rental rates in 1993, partially offsetting the previously discussed decreases in rental and service income and property management fees during 1993 as compared to 1992.
The Partnership reached a settlement with the seller of the Ridgetree Phase I apartment complex in June 1992. Prorations due from the seller pursuant to the terms of the original management and guarantee agreement on this property were previously written off due to uncertain collectibility. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the parties have released all claims and causes of action against one another, and the Partnership received cash of $208,000 and was relieved of certain other liabilities by the seller. Other income of $259,174 was recognized in connection with this transaction and resulted in a decrease in other income during 1993 as compared to 1992.
The interest rate on the Creekwood Phase I apartment complex mortgage note payable adjusts monthly based on a market rate while the interest rates on the Briarwood, Canyon Sands, Somerset Pointe and Sunnyoak Village apartment complex mortgage notes payable adjusted in 1993 based on market rates. Lower interest rates during 1993 resulted in a decrease in interest expense on these loans. In April 1993, the Ridgetree Phase I apartment complex mortgage note payable was refinanced and the original loan was repaid at a discount. As a result of a lower principal balance and interest rate on the new loan, interest expense decreased for this property. In May 1993, the first mortgage note payable on the Woodland Hills apartment complex was refinanced and the second mortgage was partially repaid. As a result of the reduced total principal balances and a lower interest rate on the new first mortgage loan, interest expense decreased for this property. These items contributed to the decrease in interest expense on purchase price, promissory and mortgage notes payable during 1993 as compared to 1992. The decreases in interest expense discussed above were partially offset during 1993 by interest expense recognized on the Chesapeake apartment complex mortgage note payable, which was obtained during June 1993, and on the Quail Lakes apartment complex loan, which had principal-only payments until June 1993.
As a result of the full amortization of the deferred expenses related to prior mortgages on the Highland Glen apartment complex, which was foreclosed in 1993, and the Woodland Hills, Chesapeake and Chimney Ridge apartment complexes, which were refinanced in 1993, amortization of deferred expenses increased during 1993 as compared to 1992.
Slightly higher property operating expenses at most of the remaining properties resulted in an increase in property operating expenses during 1993 as compared to 1992.
During 1993, the Partnership recognized extraordinary gains on forgiveness of debt in connection with the refinancings of the Ridgetree - Phase I and Chimney Ridge apartment complex mortgage loans.
1992 Compared to 1991
As noted above, a receiver took possession of the Highland Glen apartment complex during September 1992 and the financial statements do not reflect the operations of the property subsequent to the date the receiver was appointed. In addition, the Partnership sold the Sunrise Village apartment complex in August 1991, and relinquished title to the Canyon Creek apartment complex to the first mortgage lender through foreclosure in October 1991 and recognized gains related to these property dispositions during 1991. These transactions caused decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on purchase price, promissory and mortgage notes payable, depreciation expense, amortization expense, property operating expenses, maintenance and repair expenses, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1992 as compared to 1991. These decreases were partially or, in certain cases, fully offset by the increases described below.
All seventeen of the Partnership's remaining properties, excluding the Highland Glen apartment complex, experienced improved occupancy and/or higher rental rates, which partially offset the previously discussed decreases in rental and service income and property management fees during 1992 as compared to 1991.
In August 1991, the Partnership secured the release of restricted investments totaling $8,530,000, which had been pledged as collateral for the Chesapeake apartment complex loan, and used these proceeds to purchase the underlying revenue bonds which finance the property. This decrease in short-term investments, along with lower interest rates during 1992, caused interest income on short-term investments to decrease during 1992 as compared to 1991. In addition, this transaction contributed to the decrease in interest expense on purchase price, promissory and mortgage notes payable during 1992 as compared to 1991.
As previously discussed, the Partnership reached a settlement with the seller of the Ridgetree Phase I apartment complex in June 1992, and recognized other income of $259,174 in connection with this. The Partnership also recognized other income in 1992 in the amount of $120,513 in connection with the purchase of a note investment relating to the Pinebrook apartment complex. As a result, other income increased in 1992 as compared to 1991.
Interest rates decreased significantly during 1991 and 1992. This caused interest expense on short-term loans to decrease during 1992 as compared to 1991.
The interest rate on the Creekwood apartment complex mortgage note payable adjusts monthly based on a market rate. A lower market rate during 1992 resulted in a decrease in interest expense on this loan. This also contributed to the decrease in interest expense on purchase price, promissory and mortgage notes payable during 1992 as compared to 1991.
Deferred expenses related to the mortgage note payable collateralized by the Courtyards of Kendall apartment complex became fully amortized upon maturity of the loan in 1991. This caused amortization expense to decrease, in addition to the previously discussed decreases, during 1992 as compared to 1991.
During 1992, the Partnership incurred expenses for painting the exteriors of the Chestnut Ridge, Pinebrook, Quail Lakes, Ridgepoint View, Sunnyoak Village and Woodland Hills apartment complexes, and also incurred expenses for upgrading selected unit interiors at the Ridgepoint Hill apartment complex. During 1991, the Partnership incurred expenses for painting the exterior of the Antlers and Ridgetree apartment complexes. The timing of these transactions caused maintenance and repair expenses to increase overall, fully offsetting the decreases previously discussed, during 1992 as compared to 1991.
The Pinebrook apartment complex is owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliated partnership. During 1992, the exterior of the property was painted, causing an increase in total expenses and the overall loss generated by the property. This increased the affiliate's participation in loss from joint venture during 1992 as compared to 1991.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The cash or near cash position of the Partnership was relatively unchanged during the year ended December 31, 1993. During 1993, the Partnership's financing activities included the receipt of net proceeds of approximately $2,550,000 from loan refinancings and modifications, net of costs and escrows, and a net loan repayment of approximately $1,246,000 to the General Partner, as well as principal payments on mortgage notes payable. Operating activities consist primarily of cash flow generated from property operations and the payment of administrative expenses and short-term interest expense. The operating cash flow includes expenditures of approximately $1,160,000 for hurricane damage at the Courtyards of Kendall apartment complex, located in Dade County, Florida, for which the Partnership expects to be reimbursed through insurance proceeds during 1994.
The Partnership is largely dependent on loans from the General Partner and owes approximately $11,166,000 to the General Partner at December 31, 1993 in connection with the funding of operating deficits, the 1991 purchase of the bonds on the Chesapeake apartment complex, which borrowings were partially repaid from the proceeds of the new first mortgage loan on the property, and additional borrowings needed for the 1993 refinancings. These loans are expected to be repaid from available cash flow from future property operations, or from proceeds received from the disposition or refinancing of the Partnership's real estate investments, prior to any distributions to Limited Partners from these sources.
Although an affiliate of the General Partner has, in certain circumstances, provided mortgage loans for certain properties to the Partnership, there can be no assurance that loans of this type will be available from either an affiliate or the General Partner in the future. The General Partner may continue to provide additional short-term loans to the Partnership or to fund working capital needs or property operating deficits, although there is no assurance that such loans will be available. Should such short-term loans not be available, the General Partner will seek alternative third party sources of financing working capital. However, the current economic environment and its impact on the real estate industry make it unlikely that the Partnership would be able to secure financing from third parties to fund working capital needs or operating deficits. Should additional borrowings be needed and not be available either through the General Partner or third parties, the Partnership may be required to dispose of some of its properties to satisfy these obligations.
The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of its properties as either positive, a marginal deficit or a significant deficit, each after consideration of debt service payments unless otherwise indicated. A deficit is considered to be significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the property's rental and service income. For each of the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, ten of the remaining seventeen properties owned by the Partnership generated positive cash flow and seven generated marginal cash flow deficits.
The Highland Glen apartment complex would have operated at a significant cash flow deficit during 1992 had the Partnership paid all contractual obligations due under the terms of the mortgage note payable. The modification of the note expired in April 1992, and the note returned to its original terms, significantly increasing the monthly debt service requirements. The Partnership suspended debt service payments in an effort to obtain additional debt service relief. After unsuccessful negotiations, the lender filed foreclosure proceedings and a receiver was appointed to manage the property. In May 1993, title to this property was relinquished through foreclosure. See Note 13 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
The terms of the loans on the Chestnut Ridge Phase II, Ridgepoint Hill and Ridgepoint View apartment complexes provide for deferral of certain portions of the respective interest payments. Had the Partnership been obligated to pay the deferred amounts for the current period, the properties would have generated significant cash flow deficits during 1993 and 1992. At December 31, 1993, the cumulative interest deferred and outstanding on these loans totaled approximately $1,848,622. The deferred interest amounts are payable from proceeds received upon the sale or refinancing of the properties or, in certain cases, from current property cash flow if available.
While the cash flow of certain of the Partnership's properties has improved, the General Partner continues to pursue a number of actions aimed at improving the cash flow of the Partnership's properties including refinancing of mortgage loans, improving property operating performance, and seeking rent increases where market conditions allow. Despite improvements during 1993 in the local economies and rental markets where certain of the Partnership's properties are located, the General Partner believes that continued ownership of many of the properties is in the best interests of the Partnership in order to maximize potential returns to Limited Partners. As a result, the Partnership will continue to own these properties for longer than the holding period for the assets originally described in the prospectus.
Each of the Partnership's properties is owned through the use of third-party mortgage loan financing and, therefore, the Partnership is subject to the financial obligations required by such loans. See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements for information concerning outstanding balances, maturity dates, interest rates, and other terms related to each of these mortgage loans. During 1994 and 1995, approximately $24,362,000 and $11,529,000, respectively, of mortgage loans collateralized by the Creekwood Phase I, Ridgepoint Hill, Ridgepoint View, Drayton Quarter and Quail Lakes apartment complexes mature. Of the 1994 amount, approximately $6,634,000 represents mortgage loan financing from an affiliate of the General Partner which the Partnership expects to be able to extend if not paid prior to maturity. As a result of the downturn experienced by the real estate industry over the last few years, many banks, savings and loans and other lending institutions have tightened mortgage lending criteria and are generally willing to advance less funds with respect to a property than many lenders were willing to advance during the 1980's. As a result, in certain instances it may be difficult for the Partnership to refinance a property in an amount sufficient to retire in full the current mortgage financing with respect to the property. In the event negotiations with the existing lender for a loan modification or with new lenders for a refinancing are unsuccessful, the Partnership may sell the collateral property or other properties to satisfy an obligation or may relinquish title to the collateral property in satisfaction of the outstanding mortgage loan balance.
Suspension of debt service payments may lead to a renegotiation of terms with lenders which would permit the Partnership to continue to own properties or may lead to foreclosure or other action by lenders which would result in the relinquishment of title to the properties in satisfaction of the outstanding mortgage loan balances.
The Pinebrook apartment complex is owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliated partnership, and is financed with a $5,185,000 wrap-around mortgage payable collateralized by the property, which matured in July 1993. The joint venture reviewed its options, among which were a sale of the property and a refinancing or modification of the purchase money wrap-around mortgage. However, the loan amount available on a refinancing was less than the current debt outstanding, and the joint venture partners did not have the cash reserves needed to fund the difference. Accordingly, the joint venture suspended debt service payments and began negotiations with the lender for a discounted buy-out of the $5,185,000 purchase money wrap-around mortgage note. In response, the lender filed foreclosure proceedings, and in December 1992, the joint venture filed for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In January 1994, a plan of reorganization was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings for additional information. All cash flow generated by the property had been used to pay debt service on the underlying first and second mortgage loans.
In May 1993, the interest rate on the mortgage note payable collateralized by the Sunnyoak Village apartment complex adjusted to 7.33% from 9.75%, through May 1998. In October 1993, the interest rates on the mortgage notes payable collateralized by the Briarwood, Canyon Sands and Somerset Pointe apartment complexes adjusted to 6.498% from 9.75%, through maturity in October 1998.
In April 1993, the first mortgage loan collateralized by Ridgetree Phase I Apartments was refinanced with new first and second mortgage loans. Simultaneously, other first mortgage loans collateralized by properties owned by partnerships affiliated with the General Partner were also refinanced. All of these loans had been held directly or indirectly by the Resolution Trust Corporation and have been purchased by Lexington Mortgage Company, an independent third party. While the mortgage loan collateralized by Ridgetree Phase I Apartments was current, many of the other mortgage loans were in default either with respect to monthly debt service requirements or the loan had matured and the properties were unable to repay the balloon payments that were due. The new loans were deposited into a trust, the beneficial interests of which were sold to unaffiliated investors. Lehman Brothers, an affiliate of the General Partner, acted as firm underwriter for the sale of the beneficial interests in the trust and received underwriting compensation in accordance with market practices. A subordinated portion of the beneficial interests in the trust continues to be owned by Lehman Brothers.
The new loans include, among other things, principal balance or mortgage rate reductions, or maturity extensions, or a combination thereof. The terms of the new loans on Ridgetree Phase I Apartments decreased the interest rate from 11% to 10.05%, extended the maturity date from September 1, 1996 to May 1, 2000, and required a principal reduction which was partially funded by a principal payment by the Partnership and partially due to forgiveness of debt by the lender or a voluntary contribution from an affiliate of the General Partner. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
In May 1993, the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Woodland Hills Apartments was refinanced. The proceeds of the new loan of $5,054,563 were used to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $4,941,615 as well as $112,948 of the BREHI second mortgage loan. The Partnership also funded capital and operating reserves as well as related closing costs. The balance of the BREHI second mortgage loan of $2,498,119, including accrued interest of $390,396, was reduced to $585,171 as a requirement of the first mortgage loan. The General Partner provided short-term loans to the Partnership to fund the closing costs and the BREHI paydown. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
In June 1993, the Partnership obtained a first mortgage loan in the amount of $5,185,000 collateralized by the Chesapeake Apartments. This first mortgage loan replaces the bonds collateralized by the property, which the Partnership had purchased in 1991. The Partnership also funded capital and operating reserves as well as related closing costs. The Partnership used $4,000,000 of proceeds available from the financing to partially repay funds borrowed from the General Partner to purchase the bonds. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
In July 1993, the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Antlers Apartments was modified. In connection with the modification, the loan balance was increased by $232,334 to $10,500,000, the interest rate was reduced and the maturity date was extended. The Partnership paid fees and closing costs in connection with the modification. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
In October 1993, the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Chimney Ridge Apartments was refinanced. The proceeds of the new loan of $7,400,000 were used to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $6,023,757 at a $180,599 discount. The Partnership also funded capital and operating reserves as well as related closing costs. Proceeds of approximately $1,000,000 available from the refinancing were used to partially repay General Partner loans. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
In March 1994, the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Quail Lakes Apartments was modified. In connection with the modification, the interest rate was adjusted and the maturity date was extended. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
In connection with the May 1993 Woodland Hills refinancing, $100,000 of cash pledged as additional collateral related to the Partnership's obligation under the terms of the prior mortgage loan was released. An affiliate of the General Partner is providing a guarantee against a letter of credit in the amount of $250,000 posted as additional collateral for the funding of capital improvements on the Courtyards of Kendall apartment complex. In addition, a certificate of deposit of $700,000 is pledged as additional collateral for the mortgage loan relating to the Canyon Sands apartment complex.
Woodland Hills Apartments is located near the Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport. As previously reported, the airport board is pursuing an expansion plan with the Federal Aviation Authority to build two additional runways on airport property. A proposed plan provides for varying levels of compensation to single family homeowners for the expected loss in value to their homes as a result of increased air traffic and heightened noise levels. However, no similar compensation is planned for the majority of apartment complex owners in the area, including the Partnership. In July 1993, the Partnership, certain affiliates of the General Partner which also own affected properties and other unaffiliated property owners jointly filed a lawsuit to obtain equitable compensation. The plaintiffs expect to file a motion for summary judgement with a hearing expected to be held during the first half of 1994.
The Briarwood apartment complex is located in the path of the planned expansion of Price Road which is adjacent to the property. Discussions for this project have been ongoing, and the General Partner has been attending the public hearings due to its opposition to this expansion. If the current plans are approved, approximately 68 of the complex's 268 units would be condemned, which would have a significant impact on the property's value. Currently it is unclear whether the future approvals and funding for the project will be obtained and, if obtained, what compensation the Partnership would receive for the units or when the work would begin.
Although investors have received certain tax benefits, the Partnership has not commenced distributions. Future distributions to investors will depend on improved cash flow from the Partnership's remaining properties and proceeds from future property sales, as to both of which there can be no assurances. In light of results to date and current market conditions, the General Partner does not anticipate that investors will recover a substantial portion of their original investment.
Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real estate investments. Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating costs which may or may not be recovered through increased rents depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation will increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead to increased rental revenues and real estate values.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Accounting Policies:
(a) Depreciation expense is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods. Rates used in the determination of depreciation are based upon the following estimated useful lives:
Years
Buildings and improvements 20 to 30 Furniture and fixtures 5 to 7
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are charged to the related asset account.
Interest incurred while properties were under construction was capitalized.
(b) Deferred expenses consist of financing fees which are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements.
(c) When debt service payments are suspended on a mortgage loan which is collateralized by one of the Partnership's properties, the lender may commence foreclosure proceedings and a receiver may be appointed for the property by the bankruptcy court while the proceedings are in progress. In such a case, the Partnership will not reflect the operations of a property in the financial statements while in receivership.
(d) Properties are classified in substantive foreclosure when the lender has taken actions that result in the Partnership relinquishing control of the operations of the property, and/or the General Partner anticipates the property may be lost through foreclosure. When a property has been classified in substantive foreclosure, expenses which are not general obligations of the Partnership, but rather are liabilities collateralized by an interest in the property (such as mortgage interest expense and real estate taxes), are recorded only to the extent such items are paid.
(e) Cash equivalents include all unrestricted highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less.
(f) The Partnership is not liable for Federal income taxes and each partner recognizes his proportionate share of the Partnership income or loss in his tax return; therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the Partnership.
2. Partnership Agreement:
The Partnership was organized in September 1982. The Partnership Agreement provides for Balcor Partners-XV to be the General Partner and for the admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 150,000 Limited Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Interest, 140,000 of which were sold on or prior to June 27, 1984, the termination date of the offering.
The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner will be allocated 99% of the profits and losses for the period prior to January 1, 1984, and 1% of the profits and losses thereafter. One hundred percent of "Net Cash Receipts" available for distribution shall be distributed to the holders of Interests in proportion to their participating percentages as of the record date for such distributions. In addition, there shall be accrued for the benefit of the General Partner as its distributive share from operations an amount equivalent to approximately 1% of the total Net Cash Receipts being distributed, which will be paid only out of Net Cash Proceeds.
Under certain circumstances, the General Partner may also participate in the Net Cash Proceeds of the sale or refinancing of Partnership properties. When and as the Partnership sells or refinances its properties, the Net Cash Proceeds resulting therefrom, which are available for distribution, will be distributed only to holders of Interests until such time as holders of Interests have received an amount equal to their Original Capital plus certain levels of return as specified by the Partnership Agreement. Only after such returns are made to the Limited Partners will the General Partner receive 15% of further distributed Net Cash Proceeds, which will include the accrued distributive share of Net Cash Receipts, subject to increase by an amount equal to certain acquisition fees the General Partner would otherwise have been entitled to pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.

(A) This note was modified or refinanced in 1993. The interest rate, periodic payment terms, estimated balloon payment and final maturity date reflect the terms of the new modified loan. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
(B) Represents monthly principal and interest payments through maturity, unless otherwise indicated.
(C) The balloon payment will require the sale or refinancing of the property, unless otherwise indicated.
(D) The difference between the balloon payments on previously outstanding interim financing and the assumed balance on the permanent loan is payable in accordance with a non-interest bearing promissory note. These amounts on an individual basis do not exceed $49,000, and are reflected in the "Carrying Amount of Notes" at December 31, 1993 and 1992.
(E) At December 31, 1993, a $700,000 certificate of deposit was posted by the Partnership as additional collateral required under the mortgage note collateralized by the Canyon Sands apartment complex.
(F) An affiliate of the General Partner ("Affiliate") provided a $10,000,000 letter of credit as additional collateral related to a pool of loans in the aggregate amount of $32,336,100 collateralized by the Chestnut Ridge apartment complex and eight other properties owned by partnerships affiliated with the General Partner. A guaranty of the letter of credit by the Affiliate was required under the terms of the refinancing. Such Affiliate's guaranty shall not affect the obligations or actual liabilities of the Partnership under the mortgage note payable or the related letter of credit.
(G) The Partnership is obligated to pay the lender (upon the earlier of maturity or the sale or refinancing of the property) additional interest equal to the lesser of: (i) 25% of the amount by which the agreed upon value of the property at maturity or upon sale or refinancing exceeds $10,100,000, or (ii) interest which would have accrued on the loan from June 1, 1992 through the earlier of maturity or the sale or refinancing of the property at 15% per annum.
(H) The contract interest rate floats at 2.5% over the Federal Home Loan Bank System 11th District Cost of Funds. At December 31, 1993, the contract interest rate was 6.44%, and the average rate for 1993 was 6.77%. The pay rate is 10% per annum on outstanding principal with the difference between the contract and pay rates applied monthly to principal.
(I) The Partnership relinquished title to the property through foreclosure on May 7, 1993. See Note 13 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
(J) In December 1992, the joint venture which owns the property filed for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. See Note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. In January 1994, a plan of reorganization was approved by the Bankruptcy Court which is expected to be effective during the second quarter of 1994. Under the plan, the wrap-around feature of each of the notes collateralized by the property will be terminated and will become first, second, third and fourth mortgage notes, and the joint venture is to make payments as follows: first, monthly payments of principal and interest, with interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum to the first mortgage holder, next as interest-only payments, with interest at a rate of 8.875% per annum to the second mortgage holder, next as interest-only payments at a rate of 10% per annum to the third mortgage holder and then interest-only payments at an interest rate of 10% per annum to the fourth mortgage holder. Any deficiency in the payments to the third and fourth mortgage holders will accrue and be paid in future months as net cash flow from property operations are available or from the proceeds of a sale of the property.
(K) Represents monthly interest-only payments through maturity.
(L) During March 1994, this loan was modified. Effective February 1, 1994, the interest rate increased from 6.745% to 8.25%, the maturity date was extended from March 1995 to March 2001 and the monthly payment of principal and interest increased from $44,612 to $51,295.
(M) The interest rate is subject to adjustment in May 1998 and every 5 years thereafter based on a market index fixed at 3.0% above the Federal Home Loan Bank Board Eleventh District cost of funds rate.
(N) The balance at December 31, 1993 is comprised of a second mortgage loan in the amount of $393,025 payable to National Express Company and an unsecured loan in the amount of $2,436,216, payable to Balcor Real Estate Holdings, Inc. ("BREHI"), both of which are affiliates of the General Partner. Both loans have a contract interest rate of 10.5%. The interest pay rate on the second mortgage loan is the lower of the contract rate or the net cash flow from the property after payment of interest on the first mortgage loan. The interest pay rate on the unsecured loan is the lower of the contract rate or the net cash flow from the property limited to a maximum annual deficit of $40,000. To the extent that cash flow remains or the maximum annual deficit has not been incurred after payment of all current interest on both loans, such excess will be applied as a principal reduction on the unsecured loan. Deferred interest on the second mortgage loan is accumulated on a non-interest bearing basis while deferred interest on the unsecured loan is added to the principal balance outstanding and interest is accumulated thereon at the contract rate.
(O) This balance is comprised of a second mortgage loan in the amount of $3,000,000 and an unsecured loan in the amount of $288,870, both of which are payable to BREHI. Both loans have a contract interest rate of 10.25%. The interest pay rate on the second mortgage loan is the lower of the contract rate or the net cash flow from the property after payment of interest on the first mortgage loan. The interest pay rate on the unsecured loan is the lower of the contract rate or the net cash flow from the property limited to a maximum annual deficit of $77,238. To the extent that cash flow remains or the maximum annual deficit has not been incurred, after payment of all current interest on both loans, such excess will be applied as a principal reduction on the unsecured loan. During 1993 and 1992, $7,675 and $43,837, respectively, of cash flow was applied as a principal reduction on the unsecured loan. Deferred interest on the second mortgage loan is accumulated on a non-interest bearing basis while deferred interest on the unsecured loan is added to the principal balance outstanding and interest is accumulated thereon at the contract rate. This loan matures during 1994 and the General Partner expects to extend the maturity date of the loan if it is not repaid prior to maturity.
(P) This loan represents a second mortgage loan payable to BREHI. The loan has a contract interest rate of 10.25% with a pay rate equal to the lower of the contract rate or the net cash flow from the property, limited to a maximum annual deficit of $78,487. Deferred interest on the second mortgage loan is accumulated on a non-interest bearing basis. This loan matures during 1994 and the General Partner expects to extend the maturity date of the loan if it is not repaid prior to maturity.
(Q) This note represents a second mortgage loan payable to BREHI. During 1993, the balance of the BREHI loan of $2,498,119, including accrued interest, was reduced to $585,171 as a requirement of the first mortgage loan. The partial repayment was conditioned upon BREHI agreeing to subordinate repayment of the remaining portion of the BREHI loan to a payment to the Partnership from sale or refinancing proceeds from this property of $1,800,000. See Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. The interest pay rate is the lower of the contract rate or the net cash flow from the property, after payment of interest on the first mortgage loan, limited to a maximum annual deficit of $62,500. Deferred interest on the second mortgage loan is accumulated and bears interest at the contract rate.
During the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, the Partnership incurred interest expense on mortgage notes payable to non-affiliates of $10,882,258, $12,561,221 and $13,588,013, respectively. The Partnership paid interest expense of $10,655,057 in 1993, $11,830,225 in 1992 and $12,893,968 in 1991. See Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements for interest paid and incurred on loans payable to affiliates.
Maturities of the purchase price, promissory and mortgage notes payable and mortgage note payable - affiliates in each of the next five years are approximately as follows:
1994 $31,032,000 1995 12,886,000 1996 1,423,000 1997 10,463,000 1998 40,298,000
4. Loan Modifications and Refinancings:
The General Partner completed the refinancing or modification of loans on five properties during 1993 and on three properties during 1992.
(a) In April 1993, the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Ridgetree Phase I Apartments was refinanced. The original loan, which had an outstanding balance of $12,298,669, including accrued interest of $253,759, was repaid for $10,421,190 which represents a discount to the Partnership of $1,877,479. The Partnership used proceeds from the new loans of $9,661,000, and made a principal payment of $760,190 to repay the loan. Lehman Brothers, an affiliate of the General Partner, acted as firm underwriter for the sale of the securities representing ownership of the new loans, and earned underwriting compensation in accordance with market practices. The Partnership funded capital and operating reserves of $238,000 and paid related closing costs of $168,516.
(b) In May 1993, the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Woodland Hills Apartments was refinanced with a new loan of $5,054,563. The Partnership used these proceeds to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $4,941,615 as well as $112,948 of the BREHI loan. The Partnership also funded capital reserves of $123,900 and paid related closing costs of $168,801. The balance of the BREHI second mortgage loan of $2,498,119, including accrued interest of $390,396, was reduced to $585,171 as a requirement of the first mortgage loan.
(c) In June 1993, the Partnership obtained a first mortgage loan of $5,185,000 collateralized by the Chesapeake Apartments. This first mortgage loan replaces the bonds collateralized by the property, which the Partnership had purchased in 1991. The Partnership also funded capital and operating reserves of $393,983 and paid related closing costs of $171,923.
(d) In July 1993, the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Antlers Apartments was modified. In connection with the modification, the loan balance was increased by $232,334 to $10,500,000, and the Partnership paid fees and closing costs of $265,830.
(e) In March 1994, the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Quail Lakes Apartments was modified.
(f) In October 1993, the first mortgage loan collateralized by the Chimney Ridge Apartments was refinanced with a new first mortgage loan of $7,400,000. The Partnership used these proceeds to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $6,023,757 which represents a discount to the Partnership of $180,599. The Partnership also funded capital and operating reserves of $140,200 and paid related closing costs of $261,682.
(g) The mortgage note payable collateralized by the Courtyards of Kendall apartment complex, in the approximate amount of $10,121,000, matured on October 1, 1991. The Partnership did not make the balloon payment but continued to pay monthly net cash flow from the property to the lender in lieu of debt service while negotiating an extension and modification of the loan terms. In January 1992, the lender drew upon the $313,000 certificate of deposit previously pledged as additional collateral and applied it against unpaid debt service, and filed foreclosure proceedings against the property. In May 1992, a settlement agreement and modification of the loan were executed, and the foreclosure proceedings were subsequently dismissed. Under the terms of the agreement, the Partnership paid $1,000,000 representing a principal payment of $440,344 and delinquent real estate taxes of $559,656, which had remained unpaid during the term of the negotiations. In addition, the Partnership agreed to make improvements to the property totaling $250,000, and the Partnership posted a letter of credit collateralizing payment of this amount. In connection with this modification, the Partnership incurred financing fees totaling $87,932. The Partnership is also obligated to pay the lender (upon the earlier of maturity or the sale or refinancing of the property) additional interest equal to the lesser of: (i) 25% of the amount by which the agreed upon value of the property at maturity or upon sale or refinancing exceeds $10,100,000, or (ii) interest which would have accrued on the loan from June 1, 1992 through the earlier of maturity or the sale or refinancing of the property at 15% per annum.
(h) In January 1992, the Partnership completed a refinancing of the $5,115,644 BREHI mortgage loan and deferred interest totaling $577,397 collateralized by the Chestnut Ridge apartment complex. The refinancing resulted in a $2,863,800 new first mortgage loan from an unaffiliated lender which was used to repay a portion of the BREHI loans. The remaining portion of the BREHI loans, along with deferred interest payable thereon in the amount of $577,397, were recharacterized as a $393,025 second mortgage loan, and a $2,436,216 unsecured loan.
5. Management Agreements:
As of December 31, 1993, all the properties owned by the Partnership are under management agreements with Allegiance Realty Group, Inc. (formerly Balcor Property Management, Inc.), an affiliate of the General Partner. These management agreements provide for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts.
The Brookhollow apartment complex was sold in 1988. In September 1990, a settlement was reached with the party from which the Partnership purchased the property in 1984 relating to outstanding proration and guaranteed payments due from the seller. Under the terms of the settlement, the Partnership received a note for $340,061 pursuant to which it receives cash payments in installments of principal and interest at an annual rate of 10%, over a four year period, with the final installment due May 1, 1994. Principal collections of these amounts are recognized when received as other income for financial statement purposes. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, the Partnership recognized other income totaling $54,409, $54,411 and $74,813, respectively.
In June 1992, the Partnership reached a settlement with the seller of the Ridgetree apartment complex. Under the terms of the settlement, the Partnership received cash of $208,000 and was relieved of certain liabilities by the seller. The Partnership and seller have released all claims and causes of action against one another. Other income of $259,174 was recognized during 1992 in connection with this transaction.
6. Affiliate's Participation in Joint Venture:
The Pinebrook apartment complex was purchased by a joint venture between the Partnership and an affiliated partnership. All assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint venture are included in the financial statements of the Partnership with the appropriate deduction from income or loss for the affiliate's participation in the joint venture. Profits and losses are allocated 51.57% to the Partnership and 48.43% to the affiliate.
7. Tax Accounting:
The Partnership keeps its books in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and existing interpretations thereof. The accompanying financial statements which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles will differ from the tax basis method of accounting due to the different treatment of various items as specified in the Internal Revenue Code. The net effect of these accounting differences is that the net income for 1993 in the financial statements is $91,215 more than the tax income of the Partnership for the same period.
8. Transactions with Affiliates:
Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended 12/31/93 12/31/92 12/31/91 Paid Payable Paid Payable Paid Payable

During 1993, the Partnership borrowed $3,482,525 from the General Partner in connection with the Woodland Hills and Ridgetree Phase I loan refinancings and repaid $5,020,426 from proceeds available from the Chesapeake and Chimmney Ridge refinancings. In connection with the Woodland Hills refinancing, $100,000 of cash pledged as additional collateral related to the prior mortgage loan was released and used to repay General Partner loans. In addition, the Partnership borrowed a net of $392,128 from the General Partner to fund operating deficits, financing escrows and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 1993, the Partnership had outstanding short-term loans totaling $11,166,206 from the General Partner with accrued interest payable on these loans totaling $40,749. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, the Partnership incurred interest expense of $484,932, $494,403 and $816,387 and paid interest expense of $511,973, $480,680 and $852,729 on these loans, respectively. Interest expense subsequent to June 30, 1991, was computed at the American Express Company cost of funds rate plus a spread to cover administrative costs. As of December 31, 1993, this rate was 3.93%. This rate is similar to the Shearson Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. cost of funds rate used to compute interest expense on these loans through June 30, 1991.
As of December 31, 1993, the Partnership had mortgage loans outstanding from affiliates of the General Partner in the aggregate amount of $10,048,687 with accrued interest payable on these loans totaling $1,848,622. The Ridgepoint Hill, Ridgepoint View and Woodland Hills apartment complexes have mortgage loans financed through Balcor Real Estate Holdings, Inc. ("BREHI"), an affiliate of the General Partner. The Chestnut Ridge Phase II apartment complex has loans financed through BREHI and another affiliate of the General Partner. See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, the Partnership incurred interest expense of $1,165,698, $1,254,829 and $1,529,471 and paid interest expense of $770,479, $974,726 and $1,092,841 on these affiliated mortgage loans, respectively.
The General Partner may continue to provide additional short-term loans to the Partnership to fund future working capital needs or operating deficits, although there is no assurance that such loans will be available. Should such short-term loans not be available, the General Partner will seek alternative third party sources of financing working capital. However, the current economic environment and its impact on the real estate industry make it unlikely that the Partnership would be able to secure financing from third parties to fund working capital needs or operating deficits. Should additional borrowings be needed and not be available either through the General Partner or third parties, the Partnership may be required to dispose of some of its properties to satisfy these obligations.
9. Property Sale:
In August 1991, the Partnership sold the Sunrise Village apartment complex to an affiliate of the entity which originally sold the property to the Partnership, subject to the existing first mortgage loan held by a third party, for a gross sale price of $11,064,881. After adjustment for proration items of $124,822 and the existing first mortgage loan of $10,851,559, the Partnership received sales proceeds of $88,500. The basis of the property sold was $9,585,911, net of accumulated depreciation of $3,797,354, and the Partnership incurred selling costs of $20,668. The General Partner did not receive a real estate commission in connection with the sale of the property. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $1,333,480 from the sale of the property.
10. Rentals Under Operating Leases:
The Partnership receives rental income from the leasing of apartment complexes under operating leases. Minimum rentals under operating leases with lease terms of one year or less expected to be received in 1994 from its apartment complexes based on December 31, 1993 rental and occupancy rates, are approximately as follows:
Occupancy Minimum Property Rate Rentals
Antlers Apartments 91% $ 2,201,000 Briarwood Place Apartments 99% 1,399,000 Canyon Sands Village Apartments 98% 2,035,000 Chesapeake Apartments 94% 1,576,000 Chestnut Ridge Apartments (Phase II) 95% 848,000 Chimney Ridge Apartments 94% 1,637,000 Courtyards of Kendall Apartments 94% 2,130,000 Creekwood Apartments (Phase I) 87% 1,271,000 Drayton Quarter Apartments 88% 1,144,000 Pinebrook Apartments 95% 1,044,000 Quail Lakes Apartments 98% 1,704,000 Ridgepoint Hill Apartments 94% 1,692,000 Ridgepoint View Apartments 93% 1,689,000 Ridgetree Apartments (Phase I) 92% 2,288,000 Somerset Pointe Apartments 97% 2,777,000 Sunnyoak Village Apartments 93% 3,119,000 Woodland Hills Apartments 94% 1,410,000 ------------ $ 29,964,000 ============
The Partnership is subject to the usual business risks regarding the collection of these rentals.
11. Restricted Investments:
As of December 31, 1991, the Partnership had pledged cash of $1,410,000 as additional collateral relating to the mortgage loans on the Canyon Sands, Woodland Hills and Courtyards of Kendall apartment complexes. The amounts pledged as collateral were invested in short-term instruments pursuant to the terms of the pledge agreements with the respective lending institutions.
During 1992, a $313,000 certificate of deposit pledged as collateral was applied against unpaid debt service and $297,000 was released by the lenders. In connection with the May 1993 Woodland Hills refinancing, an additional $100,000 of cash collateral was released. As of December 31, 1993, $700,000 remained pledged related to the Canyon Sands mortgage loan. This amount was invested in short-term instruments pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the lending institution. Interest earned on the collateral accumulates to the benefit of the Partnership.
12. Net Investment in Note Receivable:
The Pinebrook apartment complex is owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate, and is financed with a $5,185,000 wrap-around mortgage note payable to Lexington Associates, the seller of the property ("Lexington"). Lexington's mortgage note wraps two underlying mortgage notes payable in the approximate amounts of $4,000,000 and $450,000. At December 31, 1991, these notes were payable to First Equities Corporation ("First Equities"). The First Equities notes in turn wrap a mortgage note payable to Tates Creek Place ("Tates Creek"). In January 1992, a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and the affiliate purchased First Equities' notes receivable due from Lexington for a cash payment of $220,000, (of which $106,546 was the affiliate's share), and the assumption of the mortgage note payable to Tates Creek. This purchase has been recorded by the Partnership net of a $230,000 discount, which was amortized into income over the remaining term of the note. As of December 31, 1993, the Partnership's net investment in the notes consisted of the following, including accrued interest:
Balance as Interest Maturity of 12/31/93 Rate Date Wrap-around notes receivable from Lexington Associates $4,885,918 (a) 9.8803% (b) Mortgage note payable to Tates Creek (3,971,878) 9.75% (b) Net Investment in Note ---------- Receivable $ 914,040 ==========
(a) Includes a $450,000 secondary note which is non-interest bearing.
(b) This loan matured in September 1993.
The Partnership continues to remain obligated to Lexington under the original mortgage note payable in the amount of $5,185,000. However, in November 1992, the Partnership suspended payments and began negotiations with Lexington for a discounted buy-out of the mortgage note payable. As a result, Lexington suspended payments on the note receivable to Pinebrook Limited Partnership. See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
13. Extraordinary Items:
(a) In October 1993, the mortgage note collateralized by the Chimney Ridge Apartments, which had an outstanding balance of $6,023,757, was repaid for $5,843,158.

See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
(b) In May 1993, title to the Highland Glen apartment complex was relinquished through foreclosure.

See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
(d) In May 1991, the General Partner suspended debt service payments on the mortgage loan collateralized by the Canyon Creek apartment complex. In June 1991, the lender filed foreclosure proceedings and in October 1991, title to the property was relinquished through a foreclosure sale. The basis of the property at the date of foreclosure was $10,054,309, net of accumulated depreciation of $3,972,157. The outstanding mortgage balance at the date of foreclosure was $12,128,278. In addition, accrued liabilities of $401,047 were written off in connection with the foreclosure.
