Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

Item 1 - Business
The Registrant, John Hancock Properties Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), is a Limited Partnership organized on May 17, 1984, under the provisions of the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act. As of December 31, 1994, the partners in the Partnership consisted of a sole Managing General Partner, John Hancock Realty Equities, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner"), an Associate General Partner, JH Associates Limited Partnership (the "Associate General Partner") and 2,048 Limited Partners owning 21,954 Units of Limited Partnership Interests (the "Units"). The Managing General Partner is the general partner of the Associate General Partner. Two Broadway Associates III, an affiliate of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"), is the limited partner of the Associate General Partner. The Managing General Partner and the Associate General Partner are collectively referred to as the "General Partners". The initial capital of the Partnership was $6,000, representing capital contributions of $800 from the Managing General Partner, $200 from the Associate General Partner and $5,000 from the initial Limited Partner (a former director of the Managing General Partner). The Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") authorized the issuance of up to 35,000 Units at $1,000 per Unit. There have been no changes in the number of Units outstanding subsequent to the termination of the offering period.
The Units were offered and sold to the public during the period from September 21, 1984 to August 31, 1985 pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership sold the Units for $1,000 per Unit. No established public market exists on which the Units may be traded.
The Partnership is engaged solely in the acquisition, operation and disposition of investment real estate. The latest date on which the Partnership is due to terminate is December 31, 2020, unless it is sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. It is expected that, in the ordinary course of the Partnership's business, the properties of the Partnership will be disposed of, and the Partnership terminated, before December 31, 2020. As initially stated in its Prospectus, it was expected that the Partnership would be dissolved upon the sale of its last remaining property, which at that time was expected to be within five to eight years following the date such property was acquired by the Partnership. As of December 31, 1994, and the date hereof, the Partnership has two properties remaining in its portfolio; one of the properties is currently listed for sale and the other property is expected to be listed for sale in 1995. Upon the sale of the last remaining property, the operations of the Partnership will terminate, and the Partnership will be dissolved, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
The Partnership's real estate investments have been subject to various risk factors including the fact that certain of the investments in its portfolio have not generated income sufficient to meet operating expenses and debt service, and to fund adequate reserves for repair, replacements and contingencies. The income received from the Partnership's properties have been affected by many factors, including fluctuations in occupancy rates and operating expenses and variations in rental rates, which in turn have been adversely affected by general economic conditions and local conditions, such as competitive over-building.
Item 1 - Business (continued)
Since its inception, the Partnership's liquidity has been adversely affected by declining income and the level of expenditures required to fund operating expenses. As a result, some of the properties in the Partnership's portfolio were unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet both operating expenses and debt service obligations. Therefore, the Partnership has had to utilize funds from other sources in order to protect its investments and has had to dispose of certain properties at a loss. The Partnership has not generated any Distributable Cash from Operations, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, since its inception.
On February 28, 1985, the Partnership acquired the Delta Grove Apartments, a 65-unit garden apartment complex located in Eugene, Oregon. Given the cash flow constraints of the Partnership, the property's consistent and favorable income performance and the relative strength of the Eugene real estate market, the Partnership sold the Delta Grove Apartments on February 28, 1990 for a net sales price of $2,755,559 and retired the related mortgage indebtedness of $1,472,218. The Partnership received net cash proceeds of $1,283,341 from this sale. Of this amount, $852,913 was distributed to the Limited Partners on June 27, 1990. The remaining funds were used to retire outstanding debts and to pay operating expenses of the Partnership.
On December 17, 1985, the Partnership acquired 300 Ramsey Place, an office/warehouse complex located in San Antonio, Texas. Subsequently, weakening market conditions in the San Antonio real estate market resulted in the property's inability to generate sufficient cash to meet both operating expenses and debt service obligations. In addition, the market value of the property was estimated to be less than the outstanding balance of the non-recourse mortgage. On November 7, 1990, the Partnership conveyed the Ramsey Place office/warehouse to the mortgagee by a deed-in- lieu of foreclosure in exchange for a release of the outstanding indebtedness.
On August 9, 1984, the Partnership acquired the Waterford Apartments, a 256- unit garden apartment complex located in Little Rock, Arkansas. Subsequently, weakening market conditions in the Little Rock real estate market resulted in the property's inability to generate sufficient cash to meet both operating expenses and debt service requirements. During 1990, the Partnership was unable to make the requisite mortgage payments on the property, thereby placing the loan in default. In addition, the market value of the property was estimated to be less than the outstanding balance of the non-recourse mortgage. On August 9, 1991, the Partnership conveyed the Waterford Apartments to the mortgagee by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in exchange for a release of the outstanding indebtedness.
On September 24, 1984, the Partnership acquired the Huntington Park Apartments, a 212-unit garden apartment complex located in Tucson, Arizona. Subsequent to the Partnership's acquisition of the property, market conditions weakened in the Tucson real estate market and resulted in the property's inability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet both operating expenses and debt service requirements. During 1990, the Partnership was unable to make the requisite mortgage payments on the property, thereby placing the loan in default. In March 1992, the Partnership secured a reduced payoff amount from the mortgagee for the related mortgage indebtedness and accrued interest thereon from $5,525,028 to $3,800,000. On March 31, 1992, the Partnership sold the Huntington Park Apartments to a non-affiliated buyer for a net sales price of $4,072,442. The Partnership received net cash proceeds of $272,442 from the sale and extinguishment of the related mortgage indebtedness. These proceeds were used in 1992 to pay operating expenses of the Partnership.
Item 1 - Business (continued)
On November 29, 1984, the Partnership acquired the Fisherman's Village Apartments, a 280-unit garden apartment complex located in Orlando, Florida. Real estate market conditions in the Orlando, Florida area have recovered from the overbuilding of multi-family residential units which occurred during the late 1980's and early 1990's. However, market conditions remain competitive due to new construction of multi-family housing units. Fisherman's Village Apartments was successful in increasing occupancy levels during 1993 through the use of leasing incentives and capital improvements made at the property. During 1994, Fisherman's Village Apartments reduced the level of leasing incentives offered as market conditions improved and occupancy stabilized. Due to current market conditions and the stabilized operations of the property, the Managing General Partner expects that the Fisherman's Village Apartments will be listed for sale during 1995. The full amount of the mortgage loan on the Fisherman's Village Apartments is due on November 1, 1995. At that time, a balloon payment equal to the entire outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest in the amount of $8,747,314 will be due. It is anticipated that the Partnership will obtain the funds to pay off the mortgage loan from the sale of the property. This property is also discussed in Items 2 and 7 of this Report and Note 5 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report.
On February 28, 1985, the Partnership acquired the Northgreen Apartments, a 222-unit garden apartment complex located in Eugene, Oregon. Since early 1992, new apartment construction has declined in the Eugene, Oregon area, where the Northgreen Apartments are located, and absorption of vacant units has continued. With the gradual improvement in market conditions, the property has sustained a stabilized occupancy rate and improved its income and cash flow performance over recent years. Given these market conditions and the current income performance of the property, the Managing General Partner listed the Northgreen Apartments for sale during the second quarter of 1994. Efforts to sell Northgreen are discussed in Item 7 of this Report. This property is also discussed in Item 2



Item 2 - Properties
As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership held the following two properties in its portfolio:
The Fisherman's Village Apartments ---------------------------------- On November 29, 1984, the Partnership purchased the Fisherman's Village Apartments, located in Orlando, Florida, from a non-affiliated seller. The property, completed in 1984, is located on approximately 24.4 acres of land and consists of 26 two-story stucco buildings containing 280 rental units, a clubhouse and an office. The average occupancy rate at the Fisherman's Village Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1994 was 94%. See Note 6 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of the status of the non- recourse mortgage indebtedness relating to this property.
The Northgreen Apartments ------------------------- On February 28, 1985, the Partnership purchased the Northgreen Apartments, located in Eugene, Oregon, from a non-affiliated seller. The property, completed in 1978, is located on 12.5 acres of land and consists of 22 two-story wood frame buildings containing a total of 222 rental units. The average occupancy rate at the Northgreen Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1994 was 96%. See Note 6 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report for a discussion of the status of the non-recourse mortgage indebtedness relating to this property.
Both of these properties are further described in Item 7 of this Report.

Part II
Item 5

Item 5 - Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Security Holder Matters
(a) Market Information
The Partnership's outstanding securities consist of 21,954 Units originally sold for $1,000 per Unit. The Units were offered and sold to the public during the period from September 21, 1984 to August 31, 1985. No established public market exists on which the Units may be traded. Consequently, holders of Units may not be able to liquidate their investments in the event of an emergency, or for any other reason. Additionally, the assignment or other transfer of Units would be subject to compliance with the minimum investment and suitability standards imposed by the Partnership or by applicable law, including state "Blue Sky" laws.
(b) Number of Security Holders Number of Record holders Number of Units as of outstanding as of Title of Class December 31, 1994 December 31, 1994 -------------- ----------------- ----------------- Units of Limited Partnership Interests 2,048 21,954
(c) Dividend History and Restrictions
Since its inception, the Partnership has not generated any Distributable Cash from Operations, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. Unfavorable economic conditions, caused by excess supply and weak absorption in the real estate markets in which the Partnership has invested, have adversely affected the Partnership's income and cash flows. Based on current information, it is not anticipated that the Partnership will generate any Distributable Cash from Operations during 1995 and, accordingly, it is not anticipated that the Partnership will make any cash distributions from operations during that period. For a further discussion on the financial condition and results of operations of the Partnership, see Item 7 of this Report.

Item 6 - Selected Financial Data
The following table sets forth selected financial information regarding the Partnership's financial position and operating results during the five year period ended December 31, 1994. This information should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the related Financial Statements and Notes thereto, which are included in Items 7 and 8, respectively, of this Report.
Item 7

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) ------------------------------- As of December 31, 1993, the Partnership established a reserve against the entire outstanding balance of the note receivable relating to the unconditional guaranty obligation for operating deficits granted by the seller of the Waterford Apartments. The Managing General Partner believed, based on information obtained with respect to the obligor's financial condition, that it was probable that the Partnership would be unable to collect all amounts due from the obligor according to the contractual terms of the note. Accordingly, the Partnership established a provision against the entire outstanding balance of the note in the amount of $298,058. The provision has since been reduced by $13,903 as a result of payments made by the obligor. In June 1994, the obligor notified the Partnership that he would be unable to pay both the outstanding balance of the note upon its maturity on August 1, 1994 and the minimum monthly payments on the note. As of December 31, 1994, and as of the date hereof, the obligor is in default on the note for failure to pay the minimum required payments due since June 1, 1994 and for failure to pay the outstanding balance of the note, which was due on August 1, 1994. The Managing General Partner issued a default notice to the obligor and demand for payment and filed a complaint demanding full payment of the note. On December 7, 1994 the Partnership received a summary judgment in response to the complaint filed against the obligor in the amount of the note plus accrued interest thereon. As of the date hereof, the Partnership has not received payment from the obligor and the Managing General Partner continues to pursue collection of the judgment amount.
During 1994, the Partnership made $186,647 of principal payments on its long-term mortgage debt. A balloon payment equal to the entire outstanding principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Fisherman's Village Apartments' mortgage loan in the amount of $8,747,314 will be due on November 1, 1995. It is anticipated that the Partnership will obtain the funds necessary to repay such amount at maturity through either a sale of the property or through short-term loans.
Real estate market conditions in the Orlando, Florida area, where the Fisherman's Village Apartments are located, have recovered from the overbuilding of multi-family residential units which occurred during the late 1980's and early 1990's. However, real estate market conditions remain competitive due to the construction of new multi-family housing units. Fisherman's Village Apartments was successful in increasing occupancy levels during 1993 through the use of leasing incentives and capital improvements made during that year at the property. During 1994, Fisherman's Village Apartments reduced the level of leasing incentives offered as market conditions improved and occupancy stabilized. Due to current market conditions and the stabilized operations of the property, the Managing General Partner expects that the Fisherman's Village Apartments will be listed for sale during 1995.
Since early 1992, new apartment construction has declined in the Eugene, Oregon area, where the Northgreen Apartments are located, and absorption of vacant units has continued. With the gradual improvement in market conditions in Eugene Oregon, the property has sustained a stabilized occupancy rate and improved its income performance over recent years. Given these market conditions and the current income performance of the property, the Managing General Partner listed the Northgreen Apartments for sale during the second quarter of 1994.
Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) ------------------------------- On September 6, 1994, the Managing General Partner entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement on behalf of the Partnership (the "First Agreement") for the sale of the Northgreen Apartments property to a non-affiliated buyer for a gross sales price of $8,950,000. However, the prospective buyer exercised its right to terminate the First Agreement and to terminate the proposed transaction prior to the scheduled date of sale. Accordingly, the Managing General Partner resumed its efforts to locate another buyer for the property.
On November 4, 1994, the Managing General Partner entered into a second Purchase and Sale Agreement on behalf of the Partnership (the "Second Agreement") for the sale of the Northgreen Apartments property to another non-affiliated buyer for a gross sales price of $8,950,000. However, the prospective buyer exercised its right to terminate the Second Agreement and to terminate the proposed transaction prior to the scheduled date of sale. Accordingly, the Managing General Partner resumed its efforts to locate another buyer for the property.
Effective March 13, 1995, the Managing General Partner entered into a third Purchase and Sale Agreement on behalf of the Partnership (the "Third Agreement") for the sale of the Northgreen Apartments property to another non-affiliated buyer for a gross sales price of $9,200,000. The sale is subject to certain conditions which, if not satisfied prior to the scheduled date of sale, may result in the termination of the Third Agreement. If this potential transaction does not result in the sale of the property, then the Managing General Partner will resume its efforts to locate another buyer for the Northgreen Apartments.
Upon the sale of the Partnership's last remaining property, the operations of the Partnership will terminate, and the Partnership will be dissolved, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
During the second quarter of 1994, the Managing General Partner had the Fisherman's Village Apartments property independently appraised. Based upon the appraiser's investigation and analysis, the property's market value was estimated to be approximately $10,750,000, compared to the Partnership's cumulative investment in the property of approximately $13,463,000. The net book value of the Fisherman's Village Apartments property in the amount of $8,937,371 at December 31, 1994 was evaluated in comparison to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the independent appraisal and, based upon such evaluation, the Managing General Partner determined that no permanent impairment in value exists and that a write-down in value is not required as of December 31, 1994.
The Managing General Partner also evaluated the carrying value of the Northgreen Apartments as of December 31, 1994 by comparing it to the future undiscounted cash flows and a recent internal appraisal. Based on such evaluation, the Managing General Partner determined that no permanent impairment in value exists and that no write-down in value is required. The Managing General Partner will continue to conduct property valuations on an on-going basis, using internal or independent appraisals, in order to determine whether future write-downs, if any, are required.
No capital expenditures were made during 1994, and the Partnership does not anticipate incurring any significant capital expenditures during 1995.
Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Results of Operations --------------------- The net loss for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $43,962 as compared to a net loss of $667,686 in 1993 and a net loss of $834,469 in 1992. Included in the 1993 results is an allowance for the doubtful collection of the note receivable relating to the unconditional guaranty obligation granted by the seller of the Waterford Apartments in the amount of $298,058. Included in the 1992 results is a loss on the sale of the Huntington Park Apartments of $1,721,075 and an extraordinary gain on the extinguishment of the related mortgage indebtedness in the amount of $1,725,028.
Average occupancy for the Partnership's properties was as follows: Years ended December 31, 1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ---- Fisherman's Village Apartments 94% 94% 89% Northgreen Apartments 96% 94% 95%
Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased by $152,727, or 5%, as compared to 1993 and $66,712, or 2%, as compared to 1992. Rental income at the Fisherman's Village Apartments increased by approximately 5% and 14% during 1994 as compared to 1993 and 1992, respectively, primarily due to an increase in rental rates and a decrease in rental concessions offered at the property. In addition, an increase in average occupancy at Fisherman's Village from 89% in 1992 to 94% in 1994 also contributed to the increase in rental income between periods. Rental income at the Northgreen Apartments increased by approximately 5% and 7% during 1994 as compared to 1993 and 1992, respectively, primarily due to increases in rental rates. Included in rental income for 1992 is approximately $235,000 from the Huntington Park Apartments, which were sold on March 31, 1992.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1994 decreased by $18,242, or 38%, as compared to 1993, and by $20,027, or 40%, as compared to 1992. These decreases were primarily due to the fact that as of December 31, 1993, the Partnership established a provision, reflected in the Partnership's Balance Sheets, against the entire outstanding balance of the note receivable from the seller of the Waterford Apartments. As such, the interest payments received on the note during the year ended December 31, 1994 have been included as a recovery against the loss recorded in 1993. The decreases in interest income were partially offset by an increase in the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents and the interest earned on such amounts.
Interest expense decreased in 1994 by $50,901, or 4%, as compared to 1993, and by $531,721, or 32%, as compared to 1992. Interest expense at the Fisherman's Village Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1994 was consistent with that incurred during 1993 and decreased by approximately 33% as compared to 1992 due to a reduction in the interest rate on the mortgage loan from 11.5% to 7.39%, effective November 1992. Interest expense at the Northgreen Apartments decreased by approximately 10% and 13% during 1994 as compared to 1993 and 1992, respectively, as a result of the interest rate reduction on the mortgage loan from 9.75% to 8.75%, effective October 1993. Included in interest expense in 1992 is approximately $130,000 relating to interest payments made with respect to the mortgage loan on the Huntington Park Apartments, which were sold during that year.
Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Results of Operations (continued) --------------------- Property operating expenses in 1994 decreased by $105,077, or 7%, as compared to 1993 and by $105,599, or 7%, as compared to 1992. Property operating expenses at the Fisherman's Village Apartments decreased in 1994 by approximately 6% as compared to 1993 due to a decrease in maintenance and repair expenses incurred at the property. During the year ended December 31, 1993, a significant amount of maintenance and repair costs were incurred at the Fisherman's Village Apartments in order to maintain the property's occupancy rate and its competitive position within the Orlando market. Fisherman's Village continued to incur such maintenance and repair costs during 1994, although at a reduced level as compared to 1993. Property operating expenses at the Fisherman's Village Apartments increased by approximately 11% in 1994 as compared to 1992 due to an increase in maintenance and repair expenses as described above. This increase from 1992 was partially offset by a decrease in real estate taxes. Property operating expenses at the Northgreen Apartments decreased in 1994 by approximately 9% and 12% as compared to 1993 and 1992, respectively. These decreases were due to decreases in maintenance and repair expenses and real estate taxes incurred at the property. In addition, the local governmental authorities changed their method of assessing water and sewer charges in 1994 resulting in a decrease in such expenses at the Northgreen Apartments. Included in property operating expenses for 1992 is approximately $116,000 of expenses incurred at the Huntington Park Apartments, which were sold during that year.
Depreciation decreased in 1994 by $21,447, or 3%, as compared to 1993 and $94,888, or 13%, as compared to 1992. This decrease in 1994 as compared to 1992 is primarily due to the disposition of the Huntington Park Apartments.
The provision for/(recovery of) uncollectible note receivable during 1993 reflects the Managing General Partner's decision to establish an allowance against the then entire outstanding balance of the note receivable of $298,058 as of December 31, 1993, relating to the unconditional guaranty obligation granted by the seller of the Waterford Apartments. Based on the obligor's financial condition at December 31, 1993, the Managing General Partner believed that it was probable that the Partnership would not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note. During 1994, the Partnership received payments on the note totaling $13,903. However, the obligor is in default on the note for failure to make the minimum required payments due since June 1, 1994 and for failure to pay the outstanding balance of the note, which was due on August 1, 1994. (This note receivable is also discussed in Note 7 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8

To the Partnership's knowledge, no officer or director of the Managing General Partner has an ownership interest in the Partnership and no person holds more than 10% of the Units.
Item 11

Item 11 - Executive Compensation
None of the officers or directors of the Managing General Partner or any of the Real Estate Investment Committee members referred to in Item 10(c) receives any current direct remuneration in their capacities as officers, directors or Real Estate Investment Committee members, pursuant to any standard arrangements or otherwise, from the Partnership nor is any such remuneration currently proposed. In addition, the Partnership has not given and does not propose to give any options, warrants or rights, including stock appreciation rights, to any such person. No long-term incentive plan exists with such persons and no remuneration plan or arrangement exists with such persons resulting from his/her resignation, retirement or any other termination. Therefore, tables relating to these topics have been omitted.
For its activities occurring during the offering period, which terminated on August 31, 1985, the General Partners and/or their Affiliates, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, received reimbursement for certain organizational, offering, and acquisition expenses, and received certain acquisition and initial management fees, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners and/or their Affiliates, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, are entitled to the following types of compensation, fees, profits/(losses), expense reimbursements and distributions:
An Affiliate of the Managing General Partner is entitled to receive a Property Management Fee for providing property management services for Partnership properties. The Partnership is obligated to pay a fee equal to the amount customarily charged in arm's-length transactions by third parties rendering comparable services for comparable properties in the localities where such properties are located but in no event may such fee exceed 6% of the gross receipts of the property under management. No Affiliate of the Managing General Partner is providing, nor has provided, property management services to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership did not pay any such fees during 1994, 1993 and 1992.
Item 11 - Executive Compensation (continued)
The General Partners and their Affiliates are also entitled to Reimbursement for Expenses relating to the administrative services necessary to the prudent operation of the Partnership, such as legal, accounting, computer, transfer agent and other services. The amounts charged to the Partnership for such administrative services may not exceed the lesser of the General Partners' or such Affiliates' costs or 90% of those which the Partnership would be required to pay to independent parties for comparable services in the same geographic area. The Partnership incurred $79,420, $78,390 and $86,826 of such expenses during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, no such reimbursements were paid by the Partnership in order to enable it to meet its working capital needs.
Upon the disposition of any property, the General Partners are entitled to a Subordinated Real Estate Commission (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) for rendering substantial services in connection with the sale of such property in the amount of 3% of the sales price of such property. However, no such Subordinated Real Estate Commission may be paid until all Limited Partners first have received a return of their total Invested Capital plus any previously unpaid cumulative return on investment of 7% per annum as defined in Section 8.2 of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership has never paid any such Subordinated Real Estate Commission.
A Share of the Partnership's Distributable Cash from Operations (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) is distributable to the General Partners. Distributable Cash from Operations is distributable in accordance with Section 8 of the Partnership Agreement (as described more fully in Note 3 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report) . The Partnership has not generated any Distributable Cash from Operations since its inception and, as such, the General Partners have not received any such distributions.
A Share of Cash from Sales or Refinancings (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) may be distributed to the General Partners. Cash from Sales or Refinancings is distributable in accordance with Section 8 of the Partnership Agreement (as described more fully in Note 3 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report). In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners were not entitled to receive any such distributions during 1994, 1993 and 1992.
A Share of the Partnership's Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) is allocable to the General Partners. Such allocation generally approximates, insofar as practicable, their percentage share of Distributable Cash from Operations and of Cash from Sales or Refinancings. The General Partners are generally allocated 1% of Partnership Losses for tax purposes. The General Partners' Share of such Profits and Losses were losses in the amount of $2,342, $4,912 and $7,880 during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Item 11 - Executive Compensation (continued)
This table reflects all compensation, fees, profits/(losses), expense reimbursements and distributions from the Partnership to the General Partners and their Affiliates:
1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ---- Operating Expenses (a) $79,420 $78,390 $86,826 General Partners' Share of Losses (2,342) (4,912) (7,880)
(a) Represents amounts incurred for the years ending December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. During the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991 the Partnership deferred the payment of expense reimbursements in order to meet its working capital needs. During the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, the Partnership no longer deferred such payments and during the year ended December 31, 1994 the Partnership began to make payments towards these deferred amounts. As a result, amounts paid to the General Partners and their Affiliates during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 do not reflect the amounts incurred during each period.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation:
The Partnership did not have a Compensation Committee in 1994 and does not currently have such a committee. No current or former officer or employee of the Managing General Partner or its Affiliates participated during the 1994 fiscal year in deliberations regarding the Managing General Partner's compensation as it relates to the Partnership.
Item 12

Item 12 - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
By virtue of its organization as a limited partnership, the Partnership has no outstanding securities with traditional voting rights. However, as provided in Section 13.1 of the Partnership Agreement, 10% or more in interest of the Limited Partners may request that the Managing General Partner call a meeting of the Limited Partners, or request a vote by written consent without a meeting, as to any matter set forth in Section 13.2, which section provides that a majority in interest of the Limited Partners, without the concurrence of the General Partners and subject to certain conditions set forth in Section 13.3 of the Partnership Agreement, may:
(1) Amend the Partnership Agreement;
(2) Dissolve the Partnership;
(3) Remove any General Partner and elect a replacement therefor; and
(4) Approve or disapprove the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Partnership.
a) Security ownership of certain beneficial owners
No person or group, including the General Partners, is known to own beneficially more than 5% of the Partnership's 21,954 outstanding Units as of December 31, 1994.
Item 12 - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management (continued)
b) Security ownership of management
By virtue of its organization as a limited partnership, the Partnership has no officers or directors. Neither the Managing General Partner nor any officer or director of the Managing General Partner possesses the right to acquire a beneficial ownership of Units.
c) Changes in control
The Partnership does not know of any arrangements the operations of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Partnership.
Item 13

Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
See Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report for a description of certain transactions and related amounts paid by the Partnership to the General Partners and their Affiliates during 1994, 1993 and 1992.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Partners John Hancock Properties Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of John Hancock Properties Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of John Hancock Properties Limited Partnership at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

JOHN HANCOCK PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization of Partnership --------------------------- John Hancock Properties Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act on May 17, 1984. As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership consisted of a sole Managing General Partner, John Hancock Realty Equities, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner"), an Associate General Partner, JH Associates Limited Partnership (the "Associate General Partner"), and 2,048 Limited Partners. The Managing General Partner and Associate General Partner are collectively referred to as the "General Partners" and the General Partners and the Limited Partners are collectively referred to as the "Partners". The Managing General Partner is the general partner of the Associate General Partner and is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company ("John Hancock"). The Partnership is engaged solely in the acquisition, operation, and disposition of investment real estate. The initial capital of the Partnership was $6,000, representing capital contributions of $800 from the Managing General Partner, $200 from the Associate General Partner and $5,000 from the initial Limited Partner (a former director of the Managing General Partner). The Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") authorized the issuance of up to 35,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Unit. During the offering period, which terminated on August 31, 1985, 21,954 Units of Limited Partnership Interests ("Units) were sold. There have been no changes in the number of Units outstanding subsequent to the termination of the offering period.
The latest date on which the Partnership is due to terminate is December 31, 2020, unless it is terminated sooner in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. It is expected that in the ordinary course of the Partnership's business, the properties of the Partnership will be disposed of, and the Partnership terminated, before December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 1994 and the date hereof, the Partnership has two properties remaining in its portfolio. Of the two remaining properties, one property is currently listed for sale and the other property is expected to be listed for sale during 1995. Upon the sale of the last remaining property, the operations of the Partnership will terminate, and the Partnership will be dissolved, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
2. Significant Accounting Policies ------------------------------- The Partnership maintains its accounting records and recognizes rental income on the accrual basis.
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. These investments are recorded at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Restricted cash represents funds restricted for tenant security deposits, property tax escrows and other escrows.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ------------------------------- Investments in property are recorded at cost less any property write- downs for permanent impairment of values. Cost includes the initial purchase price of the property plus the cost of significant improvements, acquisition and legal fees, and other miscellaneous acquisition costs.
Depreciation has been provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the various assets: thirty years for the buildings and five years for related improvements. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
The net loss per Unit for each year is computed by dividing the Limited Partners' share of net loss by the number of Units outstanding at the end of each year.
No provision for income taxes has been made in the Financial Statements since such taxes are the responsibility of the individual Partners rather than that of the Partnership.
3. The Partnership Agreement ------------------------- Profits from the normal operations of the Partnership for each fiscal year, or portion thereof, are allocated between the Limited Partners and the General Partners in the same proportion as Distributable Cash from Operations, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, provided that (i) in no event shall the General Partners be allocated less than 1% of any such profits from normal operations, and (ii) if there is any fiscal year which produces no Distributable Cash from Operations but which produces profits for tax purposes from normal operations, such profits are allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners.
Losses from the normal operations of the Partnership for each fiscal year or portion thereof are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners, except any such profits or losses which were based upon the Partnership's operations prior to the initial closing under the Partnership's offering of Units were allocated 99% to the General Partners and 1% to the initial Limited Partner. Distributable Cash from Operations is distributed 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners; provided, however, that in each fiscal year the General Partners will defer their receipt of any Distributable Cash from Operations to the extent necessary to provide the Limited Partners a non-cumulative return in such year equal to 4% of their Invested Capital, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. All distributions of Distributable Cash from Operations deferred by the General Partners accrue and are payable to them, to the extent possible, out of subsequent years' Distributable Cash from Operations remaining after the receipt by the Limited Partners of the aforesaid 4% return, or out of cash from sales and refinancings as specified below.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
3. The Partnership Agreement (continued) ------------------------- Cash from Sales or Refinancings, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, are distributed to the Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have received, first, a return of their total Invested Capital, and, second, such additional amount as may be necessary, after giving effect to all previous distributions of Distributable Cash from Operations and of Cash from Sales or Refinancings to the extent required to satisfy any deficiency in the Cumulative Return on Investment, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, to produce in the aggregate a Cumulative Return on Investment of 7% per annum for all fiscal quarters commencing on or after January 1, 1986, and ending prior to the date of such distribution. The General Partners are then entitled to receive an amount of Cash from Sales or Refinancings equal to any portion of the General Partners' share of Distributable Cash from Operations which was previously deferred in order to permit the payment to the Limited Partners of a non-cumulative return in each year equal to 4% of their Invested Capital. Any Cash from Sales or Refinancings remaining after the Limited Partners have received a return of their total Invested Capital plus the Cumulative Return on Investment of 7% per annum for all fiscal quarters commencing on or after January 1, 1986, and ended prior to the date of such distribution, and after the General Partners have received an amount of such cash equal to any such deferred payment of Distributable Cash from Operations, will be distributed 85% to the Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partners.
Cash from the Sale of the last of the Partnership's properties are distributed in the same manner as Cash from Sales or Refinancings, except that before any other distribution is made to the Partners, each Partner shall first receive from such cash, an amount equal to the then positive balance, if any, in such Partner's capital account after crediting or charging to such account the profits or losses for tax purposes from such sale. To the extent, if any, that a Partner is entitled to receive a distribution of cash based upon a positive balance in its capital account prior to such distribution, such distribution will be credited against the amount of such cash the Partner would have been entitled to receive based upon the manner of distribution of Cash from Sales or Refinancings as specified in the previous paragraph.
Profits from Sales or Refinancings are generally allocated in the same manner as cash from that transaction. Losses from Sales or Refinancings are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners. In connection with the sale of the last of the Partnership's properties, and therefore the dissolution of the Partnership, profits will be allocated to any Partners having a deficit balance in their capital account in an amount equal to the deficit balance. Any remaining profits will be allocated in the same order as cash from the sale would be distributed.

4. Transactions with the General Partners and Affiliates ----------------------------------------------------- Expenses incurred or paid by the General Partners or their Affiliates and to which the General Partners and their Affiliates are entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership, and interest payable on borrowings from the Managing General Partner were as follows: Years Ended December 31, 1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ---- Operating expenses $79,420 $78,390 $86,826 Interest on note payable to affiliate 80,416 80,000 98,333 -------- -------- -------- $159,836 $158,390 $185,159 ======== ======== ========
The expenses above are included in expenses on the Statements of Operations.
Accounts payable to affiliates represents amounts due to the General Partners and their Affiliates for various services provided to the Partnership, including deferred amounts.
Note payable to affiliate represents a short-term borrowing in the principal amount of $1,000,000 from the Managing General Partner, initially made to the Partnership on December 1, 1988. Due to the cash flow constraints of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner has each year made a new short-term loan to the Partnership for the outstanding principal amount of $1,000,000 and, during 1991, began deferring payment of all accrued but unpaid interest on such loans. Interest on the current short-term note accrues monthly at a rate of 8.5%. Interest is payable monthly and the principal amount is due on November 30, 1995. The Partnership commenced making payments towards such accrued but unpaid interest during the third quarter of 1993.
From 1991 through the second quarter of 1993, payments towards the reimbursement of general and administrative expenses and the payment of interest on such short-term loans were deferred in order for the Partnership to meet working capital needs. The Managing General Partner also made short-term advances to the Partnership in order to cover operating expenses which could not be paid from the operating cash flow of the Partnership. Since the third quarter of 1993, the Partnership has made payments to the Managing General Partner towards reimbursement for such general and administrative expenses and interest expense. During the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership paid $453,853 and $116,421, respectively, to the Managing General Partner as reimbursement for the full amount of the short-term advances and towards the then outstanding balance of general and administrative expenses and interest expense incurred on behalf of the Partnership. To the extent that the Partnership generates sufficient funds from operations and sales of investment real estate in future periods, the Partnership will continue to make payments to the Managing General Partner towards the outstanding principal balance of the short-term loan and such deferred amounts. As of December 31, 1994, the cumulative total due on the short-term loan and such deferred amounts was $1,268,538.

4. Transactions with the General Partners and Affiliates (continued) ----------------------------------------------------- The Managing General Partner serves in a similar capacity for three other affiliated real estate limited partnerships.
5. Investment in Property ---------------------- Investment in property at cost consists of residential real estate as follows:
December 31, 1994 1993 ---- ---- Fisherman's Village Apartments $13,462,613 $13,462,613 Northgreen Apartments 7,331,461 7,331,461 ----------- ----------- $20,794,074 $20,794,074 =========== ===========
On March 31, 1992, the Huntington Park Apartments property was sold to a non-affiliated buyer for a net sales price of $4,072,442. In connection with the sale, the Partnership secured a reduced payoff amount from the property's lender for the related mortgage indebtedness and accrued interest thereon from $5,525,028 to $3,800,000. As such the Partnership realized an extraordinary gain for financial statement purposes of $1,725,028 related to the forgiveness of debt. The gain was offset by a loss of $1,721,075 on the transaction, which represents the difference between the net sales price of $4,072,442 and the net book value of $5,793,517.
Northgreen Apartments has been listed for sale since the second quarter of 1994. Revenues and net income for this property totaled $1,440,582 and $263,884, respectively, in 1994.

6. Long-Term Debt (continued) --------------
The aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt for the five years after December 31, 1994 are as follows:
Year Amount ---- ------ 1995 $8,865,311 1996 91,797 1997 100,159 1998 109,283 1999 119,238

Year Amount ---- ------ 1994 $1,062,340 1993 1,172,433 1992 1,577,488
7. Note Receivable --------------- Effective August 9, 1987, the unconditional guaranty obligation granted by the seller of the Waterford Apartments to the Partnership for operating deficits (including debt service) was extended until August 1, 1994. (The Waterford Apartments was conveyed to the property's mortgagee by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on August 9, 1991.) The outstanding balance due in the amount of $258,950 was restructured as a 10.5% Promissory Note due on or before August 1, 1994. In accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note, monthly installments of interest only were payable at a rate of 5.5% through July 31, 1990. The Promissory Note provided for monthly payments commencing on August 1, 1990 in the amount of $2,781 to amortize the then outstanding principal and deferred interest balance of $303,985 in accordance with a 30-year amortization at a rate of 10.5%. The Managing General Partner believed, as of December 31, 1993, based on information obtained with respect to the obligor's financial condition, that it was probable that the Partnership would be unable to collect all amounts due from the obligor according to the contractual terms of the note. Accordingly, as of December 31, 1993, the Partnership established a provision, reflected in the accompanying Balance Sheets, against the then entire outstanding balance of the note in the amount of $298,058. The provision has since been reduced to $284,155 as a result of payments received on the note during the year ended December 31, 1994.

7. Note Receivable (continued) --------------- In June 1994, the obligor notified the Partnership that he would be unable to pay both the outstanding balance of the note upon its maturity on August 1, 1994 and the minimum monthly payments on the note. As of December 31, 1994, and as of the date hereof, the obligor is in default on the Promissory Note for failure to pay the minimum required payments due since June 1, 1994 and for failure to pay the outstanding balance of the note, which was due on August 1, 1994. The Managing General Partner issued a default notice to the obligor and demand for payment and filed a complaint with the court demanding full payment of the note.
On December 7, 1994 the court granted the Partnership a summary judgment in response to the complaint filed against the obligor in the amount of the note plus accrued interest thereon in the aggregate amount of $305,489. As of the date hereof, the Partnership has not received payment from the obligor, and the Managing General Partner continues to pursue collection of the judgment amount.
