Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations ---------------------
Summary of Operations ---------------------
During 1993, Balcor Realty Investors 85-Series II (the "Partnership") recognized a gain in connection with the sale of the Playa Palms Apartments. This caused the Partnership to recognize net income during 1993 as compared to a net loss during 1994 and 1992. In addition, aggregate property operations for the remaining properties improved from 1992 to 1993 and 1993 to 1994.
Operations ----------
1994 Compared to 1993 ---------------------
The July 1993 sale of Playa Palms Apartments caused decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation expense, amortization expense, property operating expense, maintenance and repairs, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1994 as compared to 1993. These decreases were offset by, or were in addition to, other activity as described below.
The Partnership was able to achieve higher occupancy levels and/or rental rates at all of the Partnership's eight remaining properties. As a result, rental and service income, as well as the related property management fees, increased at these properties during 1994, which partially offset the decreases due to the sale of Playa Palms Apartments.
During the latter half of 1993, restricted investments of $1,995,000 were released and the proceeds were used to repay the respective loans from the General Partner relating to these cash collateral pledges. As a result of these funds no longer being available for short-term investments, interest income on short-term investments decreased during 1994 as compared to 1993.
During 1993, the Partnership reached a settlement with one of the defendants in the litigation related to the Park Crossing Apartments and recognized settlement income of $113,870 in connection with this transaction. The Partnership reached a settlement with the remaining defendants during 1994 and received $300,000 in settlement of all claims due to the Partnership.
In connection with the 1994 refinancings of the properties' mortgage loans, the Partnership retired and replaced $4,215,546 of affiliated mortgage notes payable related to the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Forest Ridge - Phase II apartment complexes with General Partner loans. As a result, interest expense on mortgage notes payable decreased and interest expense on short-term loans from affiliates increased during 1994 as compared to 1993. Also contributing to the decrease in interest expense on mortgage notes payable were lower interest rates due to the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I refinancing in 1994 and the Hunter's Glen, Marbrisa, Park Crossing and Steeplechase refinancings in 1993.
Due to the 1994 refinancings of the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Forest Ridge - Phase II mortgage loans, deferred expenses related to the previous loans were fully amortized. As a result, amortization of deferred expenses increased during 1994 as compared to 1993.
Increased insurance premiums at all of the Partnership's properties during 1994 offset the decrease in property operating expense due to the sale of Playa Palms Apartments.
During 1994, the Partnership incurred significantly higher maintenance and
repairs expenses at the Marbrisa Apartments in connection with exterior painting and wood replacement as required by the 1993 mortgage refinancing. These expenses were partially offset by the Playa Palms sale and exterior painting and parking lot repairs during 1993 at the Hunter's Glen Apartments.
Real estate tax rates increased during 1994 at Park Crossing and Willow Bend Lake apartment complexes and the assessed value of Park Crossing Apartments also increased during 1994. This resulted in an increase in real estate tax expense at these properties, during 1994 as compared to 1993, which partially offset the decrease in real estate tax expense due to the Playa Palms sale.
Higher legal fees incurred due to the Park Crossing Apartments settlement along with higher accounting, data processing and portfolio management expenses during 1994 resulted in an increase in administrative expenses during 1994 as compared to 1993.
The Partnership holds a minority joint venture interest in the Rosehill Pointe Apartments, which realized a decrease in interest expense during 1994 due to a reduction of the interest rate on the property's first mortgage loan during the third quarter of 1993. This decrease was partially offset by increased expenditures for insurance, utilities, payroll and advertising during 1994 as compared to 1993. As a result of the combined effect of these events, participation in loss of joint venture with an affiliate decreased during 1994 as compared to 1993.
The Partnership recognized a gain on sale of property of $3,648,559 during 1993 in connection with the sale of Playa Palms Apartments.
1993 Compared to 1992 ---------------------
The July 1993 sale of Playa Palms Apartments caused decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation expense, amortization expense, property operating expense, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1993 as compared to 1992. These decreases were offset by, or were in addition to, other activity as described below. The Partnership also recognized a gain on sale of property during 1993.
The Partnership was able to achieve higher occupancy levels and/or rental rates at seven of the Partnership's eight remaining properties, most significantly at the Marbrisa and Park Crossing apartment complexes. As a result, rental and service income increased at these properties for 1993 and partially offset the decreases in rental and service income discussed above.
As a result of the payoff of restricted investments described above and due to interest rates being lower in 1993 than in 1992, interest income on short-term investments decreased during 1993 as compared to 1992.
During 1992, the Partnership reached a settlement with the seller of the Forest Ridge - Phase II and Highpoint - Phase I apartment complexes and recognized settlement income of $486,000 in connection with this transaction.
Lower interest rates on short-term loans, as well as a reduction in the amount of debt outstanding during 1993 as compared to 1992, resulted in a decrease in interest expense on short-term loans from the General Partner during 1993 as compared to 1992.
As a result of the refinancing of the Hunter's Glen, Marbrisa, Park Crossing, Steeplechase and Willow Bend Lake apartment complexes mortgage loans during 1993, deferred expenses related to the previous loans were fully amortized. In addition, the Partnership recognized amortization expense during 1993 on the new mortgage loans. As a result, amortization of deferred expenses increased during 1993 as compared to 1992, fully offsetting the decrease discussed above.
The Partnership incurred increased parking lot repairs and exterior painting
costs at the Hunter's Glen Apartments and increased roof repairs and parking lot repairs at the Steeplechase Apartments. As a result, maintenance and repair expenses increased during 1993 as compared to 1992. These increases were partially offset by the sale of the Playa Palms Apartments and the absence of exterior painting costs at the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I Apartments in 1993.
During 1992, the Partnership reached a settlement with the seller of the Pleasant Lake Village and Playa Palms apartment complexes. The Partnership recognized a loss of $221,827 as a result of the write-off of the remaining portion of the receivable from the seller which was forgiven as part of the settlement.
The Partnership holds a minority joint venture interest in the Rosehill Pointe Apartments, which realized increased rental and service income at the property due to increases in rental rates and/or occupancy levels during 1993 and a decrease in interest expense due to a reduction of the interest rate on the property's first mortgage loan. Additionally, the property also incurred increased payroll expenditures during 1993. As a result of these events, the Partnership recognized a decrease in its participation in the loss from the joint venture with an affiliate during 1993 as compared to 1992.
Liquidity and Capital Resources -------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership decreased as of December 31, 1994 when compared to December 31, 1993. The Partnership's operating activities consisted primarily of cash flow generated from property operations, which was partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses, short-term interest expense and deferred interest expense upon the refinancing of the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Forest Ridge - Phase II mortgage loans. The Partnership's financing activities included the refinancing of these mortgage loans. From the proceeds of the new first mortgage loans, the Partnership repaid the previous first mortgage loans and a portion of the loans payable from affiliates relating to each property. The Partnership also funded required repair escrows and paid related financing costs. Additional financing activities included payment of principal on mortgage notes payable.
The Partnership owes approximately $12,296,000 to the General Partner at December 31, 1994 in connection with the funding of operating deficits and other working capital requirements. These loans are expected to be repaid from available cash flow from future property operations, or from proceeds received from the disposition of the Partnership's real estate investments prior to any distributions to Limited Partners.
Although affiliates of the General Partner have, in certain circumstances, provided mortgage loans for certain properties of the Partnership, there can be no assurance that loans of this type will be available from either affiliates or the General Partner in the future. The General Partner may continue to provide additional short-term loans to the Partnership 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 from the General Partner 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 through the General Partner, its affiliates or third parties, the Partnership may be required to dispose of some of its properties in order to satisfy Partnership 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. The Partnership defines cash flow generated from its properties as an amount equal to the property's revenue receipts less property related expenditures, which include debt service payments. During 1994, six of the Partnership's eight remaining properties generated positive cash flow compared to five properties for the same period in 1993. In addition, the property in which the Partnership holds a minority joint venture interest generated positive cash flow during 1994 and 1993. The Hunter's Glen and Forest Ridge - Phase II apartment complexes generated positive cash flow during 1994 as compared to a marginal deficit during 1993 due to decreased expenditures for parking lot repairs, and the absence of expenditures for exterior painting and higher rental income, respectively. The Chestnut Ridge - Phase I Apartments operated at a marginal cash flow deficit during 1994 and 1993. The Marbrisa Apartments, which generated positive cash flow during 1993, operated at a marginal deficit during 1994 primarily due to higher repairs and maintenance costs.
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. As of December 31, 1994, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's properties ranged from 90% to 97%. Despite improvements during 1993 and 1994 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.
During 1994, the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Forest Ridge - Phase II mortgage loans were refinanced. See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
In October 1994, the Partnership reached a settlement with the remaining defendants in litigation on the Park Crossing Apartments and received $300,000 in settlement of all claims due to the Partnership. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
The Partnership's properties are owned through the use of third-party and affiliate mortgage loan financings 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 1995, the Country Oaks Apartments mortgage loan of approximately $5,462,000 matures. The General Partner expects to refinance this loan prior to maturity. No mortgage loans mature during 1996. In certain instances it may be difficult for the Partnership to refinance a property in an amount sufficient to retire in full the current third-party 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.
The General Partner has recently completed the outsourcing of the financial reporting and accounting services, transfer agent and investor records services, and computer operations and systems development functions that provided services to the Partnership. All of these functions are now being provided by independent third parties. Additionally, Allegiance Realty Group, Inc., which has provided property management services to the Partnership's property, was sold to a third party. Each of these transactions occurred after extensive due diligence and competitive bidding processes. The General Partner does not believe that the cost of providing these services to the Partnership, in the aggregate, will be materially different to the Partnership during 1995 when compared to 1994.
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 and/or sales prices, depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead to increased rental revenues and real estate values.

BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS 85-SERIES II A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (An Illinois Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Accounting Policies:
(a) Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Rates used in the determination of depreciation are based upon the following estimated useful lives:
Years -----
Buildings and improvements 30 Furniture and fixtures 5
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are charged to the related asset account.
When properties are sold, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts. Any gain or loss on disposition will be recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Partnership records its investments in real estate at cost, and periodically assesses possible impairment to the value of its properties. In the event that the General Partner determines that a permanent impairment in value has occurred, the carrying basis of the property is reduced to its estimated fair value.
(b) Deferred expenses consist principally of loan financing fees which are being amortized over the terms of the respective agreements.
(c) Investment in joint venture with an affiliate represents the recording of the Partnership's 38.38% interest, under the equity method of accounting, in a joint venture with an affiliated partnership. Under the equity method of accounting, the Partnership records its initial investment at cost and adjusts its investment account for additional capital contributions, distributions and its share of joint venture income or loss. Depreciation recognized in connection with the ownership of real estate by the joint venture has resulted in the Partnership's share of cumulative losses exceeding the net amounts invested in the joint venture. This has resulted in the classification of the investment as "Loss in excess of investment in joint venture with an affiliate" in the accompanying financial statements.
(d) Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
(e) 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 October 1984. The Partnership Agreement provides for Balcor Partners-XVII to be the General Partner and for the admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 84,000 Limited Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Interest, 83,936 of which were sold through August 22, 1985, the termination date of the offering.
The Partnership Agreement generally provides that the General Partner will be allocated 1% and the Limited Partners will be allocated 99% of the profits and losses from operations. 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 as a part of the General Partner's share of Net Cash Proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the General Partner may participate in the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale or refinancing of Partnership properties. The General Partner's participation is equal to 15% of further Net Cash Proceeds distributed after holders of Interests have received a return of Original Capital plus any deficiency in a Cumulative Distribution of 6% on Adjusted Original Capital, as defined in the Partnership Agreement.
3. Mortgage Notes Payable:
Mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consisted of the following:

(a) In March 1994, the Partnership completed the refinancing of these mortgage loans. The original loans consisted of a $3,029,731 first mortgage loan from an unaffiliated lender and a junior mortgage loan and an unsecured loan from affiliates of the Partnership totaling $3,983,484, including deferred interest of $450,185. The proceeds from the new first mortgage loan of $3,694,000 from an unaffiliated lender were used to repay the previous first mortgage loan, the deferred interest on the affiliated loans and a portion of the outstanding loans from affiliates. The new first mortgage loan interest rate decreased from 9.75% to 9.02%, the maturity date was changed from February 2002 to April 2001 and the monthly payments increased from $25,667 to $29,776. As required by the unaffiliated lender, $1,646,000 of the remaining balance of the affiliate loans was retired and replaced with a General Partner loan and the remainder was recharacterized as a subordinate non-recourse loan of $1,473,215 and a preferred limited partnership interest of $200,000 in the subsidiary partnership which holds title to the property, both of which are included in mortgage notes payable - affiliates in the balance sheet. The contract interest rate on the subordinate non-recourse loan remains unchanged at 10.50%, which is the rate of return earned on the preferred limited partnership interest as well. The interest pay rate on the subordinate non-recourse loan is the lower of the contract rate or the net cash from the property after payment of debt service on the first mortgage. The Limited Partners' position is unaffected by this conversion of a portion of the affiliated loan to an equity position, as Limited Partners' equity is subordinate to the preferred interest just as it was subordinated to the affiliate loans prior to the recharacterization.
The affiliate loan and preferred equity interest are subordinate to the Partnership's receipt of sale or refinancing proceeds in the amount of $1,646,000.
(b) The General Partner expects to be able to refinance this loan prior to maturity.
(c) In July 1994, the Partnership completed the refinancing of these mortgage loans. The original loans consisted of a $6,360,000 first mortgage loan from an unaffiliated lender and an unsecured loan from an affiliate of the Partnership totaling $4,179,546, including deferred interest of $231,546. The proceeds from the new first mortgage loan of $7,970,000 from an unaffiliated lender were used to repay the previous first mortgage loan, the deferred interest on the affiliate loan and a portion of the outstanding affiliate loan. The interest rate on the new first mortgage loan increased from 9.025% to 9.188%, the maturity date was extended from December 1994 to August 2001 and the monthly payments increased from $47,833 to $65,209. As required by the unaffiliated lender, the remaining $2,569,546 balance of the affiliate loan was retired and replaced with a General Partner loan.
(d) In June 1993, this loan was refinanced. The interest rate decreased from 9.875% to 9.13%, the maturity date was extended from October 1993 to July 2001 and the monthly payments decreased from $37,882 to $37,851. A portion of the proceeds from the new $4,650,000 first mortgage loan were used to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $4,255,145.
(e) In November 1993, this loan was refinanced. The interest rate decreased from 9.75% to 8.23%, the maturity date was extended from October 1993 to December 2000 and the monthly payments decreased from $46,769 to $41,242. A portion of the proceeds from the new $5,500,000 first mortgage loan were used to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $5,291,523.
(f) In May 1993, this loan was refinanced. The interest rate decreased from 10.0% to 8.54%, the maturity date was extended from October 1993 to June 1998 and the monthly payments decreased from $61,977 to $56,655. A portion of the proceeds from the new $7,341,121 first mortgage loan were used to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $6,897,113.
(g) In May 1993, this loan was refinanced. The interest rate decreased from 11.0% to 9.13%, the maturity date was extended from August 1993 to June 2001 and the monthly payments increased from $60,235 to $60,643. A portion of the proceeds from the new $7,450,000 first mortgage loan were used to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $5,996,274.
(h) In May 1993, this loan was refinanced. The interest rate decreased from 10.5% to 9.33%, the maturity date was extended from November 1994 to June 2001 and the monthly payments increased from an average of $69,259 to $82,641. A portion of the proceeds from the new $9,975,000 first mortgage loan were used to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $7,807,308.
The Partnership's loans described above require current monthly payments of principal and interest except for the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I mortgage note payable-affiliate which requires payments based on the cash flow of the property.
See Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on cash collateral pledges and letters of credit.
Approximate principal maturities of the above mortgage notes payable during each of the next five years are as follows:
1995 $ 5,861,000 1996 382,000 1997 439,000 1998 7,433,000 1999 424,000
During the year ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Partnership incurred interest expense on non-affiliated mortgage notes payable of $4,680,137, $5,281,113 and $5,960,181 and paid interest expense of $4,680,137, $6,239,776 and $5,734,467, respectively.
4. Settlement Income:
(a) The Partnership had ongoing litigation with the seller and certain of its principals and affiliates on claims under terms of the original management and guarantee agreement on the Park Crossing Apartments. During July 1993, the Partnership settled with one minor defendant and received $113,870, and during 1994 the Partnership accepted $300,000 as settlement in full on all remaining amounts owed to the Partnership. In addition, $139,946 which had been held in an escrow, was released to the Partnership.
(b) In June 1992, the Partnership reached a settlement with the seller of the Forest Ridge - Phase II and Highpoint - Phase I apartment complexes. Prorations due from the seller pursuant to the original management and guarantee agreements on these properties were previously written off due to uncertain collectibility. Under the terms of the settlement, the Partnership received cash of $486,000, which was recorded as settlement income, and the Partnership and seller released all claims and causes of action against one another.
5. Write-off of Receivables from Seller:
In May 1992, the Partnership reached a settlement with the seller of the Pleasant Lake Village and Playa Palms apartment complexes for proration amounts the seller owed the Partnership pursuant to the original management and guarantee agreements. The Partnership received $130,603 from the seller during 1992 and also received a payment of $438,874 in August 1992 from the General Partner, who voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Partnership for a portion of the seller's obligations. The Partnership wrote off receivables from the seller of $221,827 in connection with this transaction.
6. Property Sale:
During 1993, the Partnership sold the Playa Palms Apartments in an all cash sale for $13,200,000. From the proceeds of the sale the Partnership paid $12,701,189 in full satisfaction of the property's first mortgage loan, which included $1,117,006 of accrued interest, and a second mortgage loan of $32,349 was repaid at a discount of $21,049. The basis of the property was $9,462,931, net of accumulated depreciation of $4,353,876. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $3,648,559 during 1993. The remaining proceeds from the sale were used to repay a portion of the loans from the General Partner.
7. Restricted Investments:
As of January 1, 1993, the Partnership had outstanding cash pledges totaling $2,475,000 as collateral for letters of credit relating to the mortgage loans on the Country Oaks and Marbrisa apartment complexes. In 1993 cash collateral pledges totaling $1,995,000 were released and used to reduce the principal balance of the Partnership's loans outstanding with the General Partner. As of December 31, 1994, a restricted investment of $480,000, partially collateralizing the Country Oaks mortgage loan, remained outstanding. This investment is recorded at cost which approximates market value. The amount pledged as collateral is invested in short-term instruments pursuant to the terms of the pledge agreement with the lending institution. Interest earned on the investment accumulates to the benefit of the Partnership and is payable upon expiration or termination of the letter of credit or earlier at the sole discretion of the lending institution.
8. Management Agreements:
As of December 31, 1994, all of the properties owned by the Partnership, including the property in which the Partnership holds a minority joint venture interest, are under management agreements with a third-party management company. These management agreements provide for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts.
9. Investment in Joint Venture with an Affiliate:
The Partnership owns a 38.38% joint venture interest in the Rosehill Pointe Apartments. The joint venturer is an affiliate of the General Partner. During 1994, the Partnership received distributions totaling $93,467.
10. 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 returns 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 loss for 1994 in the financial statements is $1,653,085 less than the tax loss of the Partnership for the same period.
11. Transactions with Affiliates:
Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are:

Allegiance Realty Group, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, managed all of the Partnership's properties, including the property in which the Partnership holds a minority joint venture interest, until the affiliate was sold to a third party in November 1994.
In July 1993 and July 1994, the Partnership repaid loans to Balcor Real Estate Holding, Inc. ("BREHI"), an affiliate of the General Partner, on the Hunter's Glen and Forest Ridge - Phase II apartment complexes, respectively. In March 1994, the Partnership partially repaid and refinanced the balance of the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I Apartments affiliated mortgage loans. See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on these loans.
During 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Partnership incurred interest expense on the BREHI loans of $458,215, $861,258 and $960,494 and paid interest expense of $943,347, $991,101 and $663,532, respectively. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, interest expense of $30,498 and $515,630, respectively, was payable and is included in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet.
As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership owes $12,295,605 to the General Partner in connection with the funding of additional working capital and other Partnership obligations. This amount included $480,000 which was borrowed to pledge as collateral relating to the Country Oaks mortgage loan. During 1994, the Partnership retired and replaced $1,646,000 and $2,569,546 of BREHI loans related to the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Forest Ridge - Phase II apartment complexes, respectively, with General Partner loans in connection with the 1994 refinancings of the properties' mortgage loans. The Partnership also made a net paydown of $672,026 during this period on the General Partner loans. In connection with the loans from the General Partner, the Partnership incurred interest expense of $572,915, $370,180 and $511,571 and paid interest expense
of $480,500, $366,296 and $533,620 during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, interest expense of $131,477 and $39,062, respectively, was payable. Interest expense is computed at the American Express Company cost of funds rate plus a spread to cover administrative costs. As of December 31, 1994 this rate was 6.562%.
The General Partner may continue to make arrangements with an affiliate 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 from affiliates 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 affiliates of the General Partner or third parties, the Partnership may be required to dispose of some of its properties earlier than intended in order to satisfy Partnership obligations.
The Partnership participates in an insurance deductible program with other affiliated partnerships in which the program pays claims up to the amount of the deductible under the master insurance policies for its properties. The program is administered by an affiliate of the General Partner who receives no fee for administering the program. The Partnership's premiums to the deductible insurance program were $120,176, $80,248 and $73,683 for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
