ITEM 2.

 

 

                              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Capital Resources

 

The capital resources of Uniprop Manufactured Housing Communities Income Fund (the “Partnership”) consists primarily of its four manufactured housing communities.  On March 25, 1997 the Partnership borrowed $33,500,000 from Nomura Asset Capital Corporation (the “Financing”).  The Partnership secured the Financing by placing liens on its four communities.  As a result of the Financing, the Partnership distributed $30,000,000 to the Limited Partners, which represented a full return of the original capital contributions of $1,000 per unit. 

 

Liquidity

 

As a result of the Financing, the Partnership’s four properties are mortgaged.  At the time of the Financing, the aggregate principal amounts due under the four mortgage notes was $33,500,000 and the aggregate fair market value of the Partnership’s mortgaged properties was $53,200,000.  The Partnership expects to meet its short-term liquidity needs generally through its working capital provided by operating activities.

 

The Partnership’s long-term liquidity is based, in part, upon its investment strategy.  The properties owned by the Partnership were expected to be sold or financed within seven to ten years after their acquisition.  All of the properties have been owned by the Partnership more than ten years, and they were financed approximately 11 years after their acquisition. The General Partner may elect to have the Partnership own the properties for as long as, in the opinion of the General Partner, it is in the best interest of the Partnership to do so.

 

The Partnership has a renewable $600,000 line of credit with National City Bank of Michigan/Illinois (formerly First of America Bank).  The interest rate on such line of credit, floats 180 basis points above 1 month LIBOR, which on September 30, 1999 was 5.66%. The sole purpose of the line of credit is to purchase new and used homes to be used as model homes and offered for sale within the Partnership’s communities.  Over the past two years, sales of the new and used model homes have been growing and the General Partner believes that continuing the model home program is in the best interest of the Partnership.  As of September 30, 1999, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $600,000.

 

Net Cash from Operations available for aggregate distributions to all Partners in the Partnership during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 amounted to $462,000.  The amount available during the same period in 1998 was $419,505.  Management considers Net Cash from Operations to be a supplemental measure of the Partnership’s operating performance.  Net Cash from Operations is defined to mean net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), plus real estate related depreciation and amortization.  Net Cash from Operations does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.  Net Cash from Operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Partnership’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

 

The quarterly Partnership Management Distribution due and paid to the General Partner for the third quarter was $143,250, or one-fourth of 1.0% of the most recent appraised value of the properties held by the Partnership.

($57,300,000 x .01 = $573,000 / 4 = $143,250)

 

The cash available, after payment of the Partnership Management Distribution of $143,250 from Net Cash from Operations, was $318,750.  From this amount, the General Partner elected to make a total distribution of $93,750 for the third quarter of 1999, 80.0% or $75,000 was paid to the Limited Partners and 20.0% or $18,750 was paid to the General Partner.  The General Partner will continue to monitor on-going Net Cash from Operations generated by the Partnership during the coming quarters.  If Net Cash from Operations is lower or higher than the amount needed to maintain the current distribution level, the General Partner may elect to reduce or increase the level of future distributions paid to the Limited Partners.

 

While the Partnership is not required to maintain a working capital reserve, the Partnership has not distributed all the cash generated from operations in order to build cash reserves. As of September 30, 1999, the Partnership cash reserves amounted to $1,202,892.  The level of cash reserves maintained is at the discretion of the General Partner.

 

Results of Operations

 

Overall, as illustrated in the tables below, the four properties enjoyed a combined average occupancy of 97.1% (1,771/1,824 sites) at the end of September 1999, versus 98.1% a year ago.  The average monthly rent in September 1999 was approximately $410, or 3.1% more than the $396 average monthly rent in September 1998.

Comparison of Quarter Ended September 30, 1999

to Quarter Ended September 30, 1998

 

Gross revenues increased $95,411, or 4.5%, to $2,230,896 in 1999, as compared to $2,135,485 in 1998.  The increase in gross revenues is the result of higher average rents at the Partnership’s four communities (see table on previous page).

 

As described in the Statements of Income, total operating expenses increased $58,716, or 3.0%, to $2,002,896 in 1999, as compared to $1,944,180 in 1998.  The increase in total operating expenses is primarily due to higher administrative expenses associated with professional fees.

 

As a result of the foregoing factors, net operating income increased to $228,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $191,305 reported for the same period in 1998.

 

MANAGEMENT EXPENSES

 

Net Partnership management expenses paid during the quarter amounted to $30,176.  Gross expenses of $46,637 (data processing, accounting and legal expenses, office supplies and wages to employees of the Partnership) were partially offset by income of $16,461 generated by interest on the Partnership's reserves and transfer fees.  The figures for last year's third quarter were $28,471, $39,620 and $11,149, respectively.
