Item 1. Business
a. General Development of Business
Diversified Historic Investors III ("Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1986 under the Pennsylvania Uniform Limited Partnership Act. As of December 31, 1995, Registrant had outstanding 13,981.5 units of limited partnership interest (the "Units").
Registrant is presently in its operating stage. It originally owned five properties or interests therein. One property has been lost through foreclosure. See Item 2.

Item 2. Properties
As of the date hereof, Registrant owned four properties, or interests therein. A summary description of each property held at December 31, 1995 is given below.
a. Lincoln Court - consists of 58 apartment units in three buildings located at 5351 Overbrook Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In March 1987, the Registrant acquired the buildings and is the 100% equity owner of this property. Registrant acquired and rehabilitated the Property for $3,417,640 ($64 per sf) (such amount is exclusive of $158,985 of capitalized fees incurred, which were funded by Registrant's equity contributions), including mortgage financing of $1,730,000, (total balance due of $2,172,415 at December 31, 1995 including $143,518 of accrued interest) and a note payable of $10,000 (total balance due of $10,000 at December 31, 1995). The first mortgage loan bears interest at prime plus 1.25% with a minimum of 9.5% and a maximum of 14.5%, therefore 9.75% at December 31, 1995 and 1994. The other mortgage loan bears interest at prime plus 1%, therefore 9.5% at December 31, 1995 and 1994. Such mortgage is payable interest only in monthly installments, and was due in 1994. The note payable bears interest at 10% payable interest only on a quarterly basis, principal was due in 1994. In 1988, a $95,000 second mortgage loan (total balance due of $110,538 at December 31, 1995 including $10,260 of accrued interest) was obtained which bears interest at prime plus 1.25%, therefore 9.75% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and was due in 1994. In 1991, an $100,000 third mortgage loan (total balance due of $119,885 at December 31, 1995 including $12,765 of accrued interest) was made which bears interest at 11%, principal and interest payable monthly, and was due in 1994. Due to decreased cash flow, the Registrant stopped making scheduled debt service payments to the holder of the first, second and third mortgages. Notice of default was received from the lender on November 29, 1993. The Registrant pursued settlement discussions with the lender; however, in December 1994 the mortgage notes were sold. The Registrant entered into an agreement with the new holder of the mortgages whereby the maturities of the notes were extended to 1999 and monthly payments of interest are to be made to the new note holder in an amount equal to net operating income, with a minimum of $7,000 per month, increasing to $9,000 per month in January 1996 and to $11,000 per month in January 1997. The property is managed by BCMI. As of December 31, 1995, 53 of 58 residential units were under lease (91%) at monthly rents ranging from $425 to $1,768.
All leases are renewable, one-year leases. The occupancy for the previous four years was 58% for 1994, 63% for 1993, 79% for 1992 and 84% for 1991. The monthly rental range has been approximately the same since 1991. For tax purposes, this property has a federal tax basis of $3,618,113 and is depreciated using the straight-line method with a useful life of 27.5 years. The
annual real estate taxes are $30,226 which is based on assessed value of $365,760 taxed at a rate of $8.264 per $100. No one tenant occupies ten percent or more of the building. It is the opinion of the management of the Registrant that the property is adequately covered by insurance.
b. The Green Street Apartments - consists of 18 apartment units in three adjoining buildings located at 1826-1828-1830 Green Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In July 1987, Registrant acquired its interest in this property by purchasing a 99% general partnership interest in 18th & Green Associates General Partnership ("18th & Green"), a Pennsylvania general partnership, for $800,000. 18th & Green contracted to acquire and rehabilitate the Property for $1,600,000 ($100 per sf). Additionally, $100,000 of cash/marketing reserves were provided. The total cost of the project was funded by Registrant's equity contribution and mortgage financing of $900,000 (total balance due of $1,427,998 at December 31, 1995 including $118,196 of accrued interest) which has been added to principal) which bears interest at 12%. During 1990, Registrant defaulted on its mortgage loan and the lender obtained a confession of judgment pursuant to the loan documents. Registrant petitioned the court to open the judgment and negotiated a settlement with the lender. The settlement required the Registrant to make payments toward delinquent interest in December 1990 and April 1991. Registrant did not make the April 1991 payment, however, no notice of default was received from the lender. In 1992, the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") took over control of the lender. The Registrant received notice in 1993 that the RTC had sold the loan. The purchaser of the note contacted the Registrant who attempted to negotiate a loan modification. In September 1994, the mortgage note was sold again. The Registrant entered into an agreement with the new holder of the mortgage whereby the note maturity is extended to 1999 and monthly payments of interest are to be made in an amount equal to net operating income, with a minimum of $5,750 per month. The property is managed by BCMI. As of December 31, 1994, 16 apartments were under lease (89%) at monthly rents ranging from $495 to $795.
All leases are renewable, one-year leases. The occupancy for the previous four years was 99% for 1994, 98% for 1993, 91% for 1992 and 94% for 1991. The monthly rental range has been approximately the same since 1991. For tax purposes, this property has a federal tax basis of $1,480,897 and is depreciated using the straight-line method with a useful life of 27.5 years. The annual real estate taxes are $15,470 which is based on assessed value of $187,200 taxed at a rate of $8.264 per $100. No one tenant occupies ten percent or more of the building. It is the opinion of the management of the Registrant that the property is adequately covered by insurance.
c. The Loewy Building - consists of two adjoining buildings located at 505 West Fourth Street in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The buildings consist of 63,300 sf of commercial space. In November 1986, the Registrant acquired its interest in this Property by purchasing a 99% interest in Triad Properties General Partnership ("Triad"), a Pennsylvania general partnership, for a cash contribution of $2,250,000. Triad contracted to acquire and rehabilitate the Property for $5,690,000 ($88 per sf). Additionally, $560,000 of
working capital/marketing reserves were provided. The total cost of the project was funded by Registrant's equity contribution, mortgage financing of $3,560,000 (total balance due of $4,190,591 at December 31, 1995 including $405,691 of accrued interest) and a $500,000 note payable to the Developer (Cwood Properties, Inc., Thomas L. Kummer and Gail R. Citron; all of whom are general partners of Triad). The first mortgage bears interest at 11.5%. Triad obtained $200,000 (total balance due of $265,160 at December 31, 1995 including $65,160 of accrued interest) and interest at prime with a minimum of 6% and a maximum of 8% adjusting annually on January 2, therefore 8% and 6% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively) of additional financing in 1987 to fund cost overruns resulting from delays and changes in rehabilitation and construction plans, and the Registrant advanced an additional $1,098,000. The property is managed by BCMI. As of December 31, 1995, 59,845 sf were rented (95%) at annual rates ranging from $6.00 sf to $12.93 sf.
The occupancy for the previous four years has been 93% for 1994, 93% for 1993, 79% for 1992 and 80% for 1991. The range for annual rents has been $6.95 to $14.08 per sf for 1994, $6.95 to $13.41 per sf for 1993, $7.08 to $13.08 per sf for 1992 and $7.08 to $13.44 per sf for 1991. There are three tenants who each occupy ten percent or more of the rentable square footage. They operate principally as a bank, a law firm and a retail store.
The following is a table showing commercial lease expirations at Loewy Building for the next five years.
Total annual % of gross Number of Total sf of rental covered annual rental Years leases expiring expiring leases by expiring leases from property
1996 2 21,047 $270,752 37% 1997 2 10,495 127,757 17% 1998 1 1,457 13,113 2% 1999 2 8,100 98,999 13% 2000 1 3,200 45,312 6%
One commercial tenant at the building which occupies 15,546 sf has a lease which expired in October 1995. This lease has not been renewed but the tenant is still occupying the space under the terms of the expired lease. The total annual rental covered by this lease is $110,426 which represents 7% of the total gross annual rental. The Registrant is in the process of negotiating a new lease with the tenant which would increase the annual rental rate by 30% and extend the lease for at least three years. There are two commercial leases which expire in 1996. The first lease is for 200 sf and although no negotiations have taken place, the Registrant expects the tenant to renew. The other lease, which expires in December 1996, is for 20,847 sf and no negotiations regarding renewal have taken place. For tax purposes of depreciation, this property has federal tax basis of $6,116,065 and is depreciated using the straight-line method with a useful life of 27.5 years. The annual real estate taxes are $21,967 which is based on an assessed value of $1,657,900 taxed at a rate of $1.325 per $100. It
is of the opinion of the management of the Registrant that the property is adequately covered by insurance.
d. Magazine Place - is a four story building consisting of 57 apartment units located at 730 Magazine Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. In October 1986, the Registrant was admitted with a 60% general partnership interest in Magazine Place Limited Partnership ("MPP"), a Louisiana partnership, for a cash contribution of $600,000. Registrant believes that its acquisition of a majority general partnership interest in MPP, though technically non-compliant with the provisions of Registrant's partnership agreement disapproving of investments in limited partnerships, will have no adverse impact on Registrant's limited partners. Registrant subsequently made an additional equity contribution of $142,393 to fund certain fees incurred by MPP. MPP acquired and rehabilitated the property for $4,091,393 ($51 per sf), including mortgage financing of $3,050,000 (principal balance of $2,912,697 at December 31, 1995) and cash contributions by limited partners of $344,000. The mortgage note bears interest at 10%, is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $26,766, and is due in 1999. The excess proceeds from equity investments and mortgage financing over the acquisition and rehabilitation costs were utilized to provide working capital reserves. In 1987, Registrant made an equity contribution of $7,000 (MPP's other partners contributed cash in the amount of $28,000 in 1987) to fund operating deficits incurred during the lease-up period. According to the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, the Registrant's interest in MPP will be reduced from 60% to 40% as of the First Conversion Date. The First Conversion Date is the date on which the Registrant will have received a return of its initial capital contribution. For purposes of determining the First Conversion Date, the Registrant will be deemed to have received a return of its initial capital contribution when the sum of the following amounts equals $600,000: (i) cash distributions from MPP; (ii) investment tax credit allocable to the Registrant; and (iii) 50% of the aggregate of MPP's net losses and deductions allocable to the Registrant. As of December 31, 1994, the Registrant had received a return of its initial capital and the Registrant's interest in the MPP was reduced to 40%. Since that date, the Registrant has accounted for its investment in MPP on the equity basis. The property is managed by an independent property management firm. As of December 31, 1995, 52 residential units were under lease (91%) at monthly rents ranging from $610 to $1,240.
All leases are renewable, one-year leases. The occupancy for the previous four years was 89% for 1994, 97% for 1993, 90% for 1992 and 95% for 1991. The monthly rental range has been approximately the same since 1991. For tax purposes, this property has a federal tax basis of $2,586,532 and is depreciated using the straight-line method with a useful life of 27.5 years. The annual real estate taxes are $14,077 which is based on assessed value of $79,000 taxed at a rate of $17.819 per $100. No one tenant occupies ten percent or more of the building. It is the opinion of the management of the Registrant that the property is adequately covered by insurance.

Note: See Part II. Item 7.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
(1) Liquidity
At December 31, 1995, Registrant had cash of approximately $10,685. Such funds are expected to be used to pay liabilities and general and administrative expenses of Registrant and to fund cash deficits of the properties. Cash generated from operations is used primarily to fund operating expenses and debt service. If cash flow proves to be insufficient, the Registrant will attempt to negotiate with the various lenders in order to remain current on all obligations. The Registrant is not aware of any additional sources of liquidity.
As of December 31, 1995, Registrant had restricted cash of $108,288 consisting primarily of funds held as security deposits, replacement reserves and escrows for taxes. As a consequence of these restrictions as to use, Registrant does not deem these funds to be a source of liquidity.
In recent years the Registrant has realized significant losses, including the foreclosure of one property, due to the properties' inability to generate sufficient cash flow to pay their operating expenses and debt service. At the present time, with the exception of the Magazine Place, where the Registrant does not receive any of the distributable cash (see page 7), the Registrant has feasible loan modifications in place. However, in all three cases, the mortgages are basically "cash-flow" mortgages, requiring all available cash after payment of operating expenses to be paid to the first mortgage holder. Therefore, it is unlikely that any cash will be available to the Registrant to pay its general and administrative expenses.
It is the Registrant's intention to continue to hold the properties until they can no longer meet the debt service requirements and the properties are foreclosed, or the market value of the properties increases to a point where they can be sold at a price which is sufficient to repay the underlying indebtedness (principal plus accrued interest).
Since the lenders have agreed to forebear from taking any foreclosure action as long as cash flow payments are made, the Registrant believes it is appropriate to continue presenting the financial statements on a going concern basis.
(2) Capital Resources
Due to the relatively recent rehabilitations of the properties, any capital expenditures needed are generally replacement items and are funded out of cash from operations or replacement reserves, if any. The Registrant is not aware of any factors which would cause historical capital expenditures levels not to be indicative of capital requirements in the future and accordingly does not believe that it will have to commit material resources to capital investment in the foreseeable future. If the need for capital expenditures does arise, the first mortgage holder for Lincoln Court and 18th and Green has agreed to fund capital expenditures at terms similar to the first
mortgage. The mortgagee funded $169,445 during 1995 at Lincoln Court.
Results of Operations
During 1995, Registrant incurred a net loss of $533,993 ($37.80 per limited partnership unit), compared to a net loss of $1,756,104 ($124.35 per limited partnership unit) in 1994 and a net loss of $1,719,611 ($121.76 per limited partnership unit), in 1993. Included in the 1995 loss was an extraordinary gain of $1,316,188 due to the foreclosure of Cathedral Court.
Rental income increased from $1,971,274 in 1993 to $2,016,023 in 1994 and decreased to $1,658,031 in 1995. The decrease from 1994 to 1995 is due to a decrease in rental income recognized by the Registrant at Magazine Place, due to the reduction in the Registrant's ownership interest in MPP (See Item 2.d. Magazine Place) partially offset by increases in rental income at Lincoln Court and Loewy Building due to higher average occupancy rates. The increase from 1993 to 1994 is due mainly to an increase in rental income at Loewy Building which resulted from the billing of prior years' common area charges.
Other income increased from $0 in 1993 to $81,870 and decreased to $0 in 1995. The increase from 1993 to 1994 and the decrease from 1994 to 1995 was the result of insurance proceeds resulting from a claim for water damage to several units in 1994 at Cathedral Court.
As a result of a decrease in the average amount of cash held by the Registrant, interest income declined from $3,365 in 1993 to $1,005 in 1994 to $840 in 1995.
Rental operations expenses increased from $1,173,645 in 1993 to $1,335,727 in 1994 and decreased to $1,088,752 in 1995. The decrease from 1994 to 1995 is due to change in accounting method as a result of the change in ownership at one of the properties (Magazine Place) partially offset by the overall increase in operating expenses such as utilities, maintenance, management fees, commissions and advertising, at Lincoln Court and Loewy Building, due to the higher occupancy. The overall increase from 1993 to 1994 results from the increase of several operating expenses items at the various properties such as utilities, commissions, legal, maintenance, insurance, and wages and salaries, partially offset by a decrease in real estate taxes at one of the properties.
Interest expense increased from $1,376,400 in 1993 to $1,478,380 in 1994 to $1,447,420 in 1995. The decrease from 1994 to 1995 is the result an increase in interest expense at Lincoln Court and Cathedral Court partially offset by a decrease at 18th and Green and the change in accounting method as a result of the change in ownership at one of the properties (Magazine Place). Interest expense increased at Lincoln Court due to an increase in the principal balance upon which interest is accrued along with an increase in the interest rate. Cathedral Court interest expense increased due to an increase in
the interest rate from 6% to 12% due to the expiration of a loan modification. Interest expense decreased at 18th and Green due to the accrual of interest in 1994 on amounts owed to an affiliate of the Registrant upon which interest had not been accrued in prior years. The increase in interest expense from 1993 to 1994 is due to the additional accrual of interest on the notes which were restructured pursuant to the agreements reached with the new note holders (See Part I. Item 2. Properties - Lincoln Court and Green Street Apartments) combined with the accrual of additional interest in 1994 of interest that should have been accrued in prior years.
Depreciation and amortization decreased $1,007,481 in 1993 to $927,774 in 1994 to $829,265 in 1995. The decrease from 1994 to 1995 is due to the change in the accounting method as a result of the change in ownership at one of the properties (Magazine Place). The overall decrease from 1993 to 1994 is the result of an adjustment made in 1993 to correct a previous year's error which increased depreciation to a higher-than-usual level in 1993 at Loewy Building. Depreciation expense for 1994 is at the usual level.
In 1995, income of $150,230 was recognized at the Registrant's five properties compared to losses of $1,590,000 in 1994 and $1,533,000 in 1993. A discussion of property operations/activities follows:
In 1995, Registrant sustained a loss of $300,000 at Lincoln Court including $174,000 of depreciation expense compared to a loss of $285,000 including $174,000 of depreciation expense in 1994 and a loss of $236,000 including $174,000 of depreciation expense in 1993. The increase in the loss from 1994 to 1995 is the result of an increase in operating expenses such as management fees, commissions and advertising and an increase in interest expense partially offset by an increase in rental income. Operating expenses and rental income increased due to an increase in average occupancy (58% to 91%) and a corresponding increase in operating expenses. Interest expense increased due to an increase in the principal balance upon which interest is accrued along with an increase in the interest rate. The increase in the loss from 1993 to 1994 is due to an increase in certain operating expenses such as utilities, maintenance, advertising, and commissions and an increase in legal fees (incurred in connection with the loan default and subsequent loan modification which occurred in 1994. See Part I. Item 2.b). Utilities and maintenance charged to the property increased as occupancy decreased from 63% to 58% and maintenance work was done in order to attract new tenants. Advertising and commissions increased as the marketing campaign was enhanced to attract new tenants.
On June 30, 1992 DHP, Inc. assigned to D, LTD a note receivable from the Registrant in the amount of $432,103 which bears interest at 10% with the entire principal and accrued interest due on June 30, 1997. Interest accrued during 1995 was $45,703. Payments on the note are to be made from available cash flow and before any distribution can be made to the Registrant's limited partners. The balance of the note at December 31, 1995 was $533,200.
In 1995, the Green Street Apartments sustained a loss of $153,000 including $59,000 of depreciation expense compared to a loss of $281,000 in 1994 including $59,000 of depreciation expense and a loss of $89,000 in 1993 including $66,000 of depreciation expense. The decrease from 1994 to 1995 and the increase from 1993 to 1994 is due primarily to the additional accrual of interest on the modified loan (See Part I. Item 2.c.) combined with the accrual of additional interest in 1994 of interest that should have been accrued in prior years.
On June 30, 1992 DHP, Inc. assigned to D, LTD a note receivable, from 18th and Green to the Registrant, that had been assigned to it, in the amount of $63,493 which bears interest at 10% with the entire principal and accrued interest due on June 30, 1997. On December 6, 1993 D, LTD obtained a judgment in the amount of $78,171 on this note in Common Pleas Court for Philadelphia County. The judgment accrues interest at 15%. Interest accrued during 1995 was $8,001. Payments on the judgment are to be made from available cash flow from 18th and Green. The balance of the note at December 31, 1995 was $40,015.
In 1995, Cathedral Court recognized income of $636,000 including $337,000 of depreciation expense compared to a loss of $576,000 including $334,000 of depreciation expense in 1994 and a loss of $691,000 including $338,000 of depreciation expense in 1993. The 1995 loss without the effect of the foreclosure would have been $850,000. The increase in the loss from 1994 to 1995 is the result of an increase in interest expense due to an increase in the interest rate from 6% to 12% due to the expiration of a loan modification partially offset by a decrease in other income. Other income decreased due to the receipt of insurance proceeds in 1994 due to a claim for water damage in several units. . Included in operations from 1995 is an extraordinary gain of $1,316,188 representing the difference between the fair market value of the assets relinquished and the liabilities satisfied. The decreased loss from 1993 to 1994 was primarily due to the receipt of insurance proceeds of $81,000 in 1994, which resulted from a claim for water damage to several units, combined with a decrease of $23,000 in legal fees, due to legal fees paid in 1993 associated with the settlement agreement and dismissal of the bankruptcy. The remainder of the decrease is due to a decrease in other operating expenses such as insurance and real estate taxes.
In 1995, the Loewy Building sustained a loss of $332,000 including $260,000 of depreciation expense compared to a loss of $379,000 including $260,000 of depreciation expense, in 1994 and a loss of $490,000 including $301,000 of depreciation expense in 1993. The decrease in the loss from 1994 to 1995 is the result of an increase in rental income partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Rental income increased due to an increase in average occupancy from 93% to 95% along with higher rental rates. Operating expenses such as utilities, maintenance and management fees increased due to the increase in occupancy and (with respect to management fees) the higher average rental rates. The decreased loss from 1993 to 1994 is the combination of an increase in rental income and a decrease in depreciation partially offset by an increase in other operating expenses such as utilities, management fees and real estate taxes. The increase in rental income is primarily the result of the
billing to tenants of prior years' common area charges. Depreciation decreased in 1994 due to an adjustment made in 1993 which increased depreciation to a higher-than-usual level in 1993. Depreciation expense for 1994 is at the usual level.
Summary of Minority Interests
In 1995, the Registrant incurred a net loss of $19,121 at Magazine Place compared to a loss of $69,000 including $102,000 of depreciation expense in 1994 and a loss of $27,000 including $127,000 of depreciation expense in 1993. Prior to 1995, Magazine Place was treated as a consolidated subsidiary. Pursuant to the First Conversion Date as discussed in Item 2. Properties, the Registrant's ownership interest was reduced to 40%. From January 1, 1995 forward, the investment is accounted for by the equity method. The increase in the loss from 1993 to 1994 is due to an increase in certain operating expenses such as maintenance, repairs, insurance, and wages and salaries partially offset by an increase in rental income.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Registrant adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." There was no cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 121.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Partners of Diversified Historic Investors III
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Diversified Historic Investors III (a Pennsylvania Limited Partnership) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. These consolidated statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Diversified Historic Investors III and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Schedule of Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation on page 30 is presented for the purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern. In recent years, the Partnership has incurred significant losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DIVERSIFIED HISTORIC INVESTORS III ---------------------------------- (a limited partnership)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION
Diversified Historic Investors III (the "Partnership") was formed in February 1986 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Partnership was formed to acquire, rehabilitate, and manage real properties which were certified historic structures as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), or which were eligible for designation as such, utilizing mortgage financing and the net proceeds from the sale of limited partnership units. Any rehabilitations undertaken by the Partnership are done with a view to obtaining certification of expenditures therefore as "qualified rehabilitations expenditures" as defined in the Code.
The General Partner of the Partnership is Dover Historic Advisors II (a general partnership), whose partners are Mr. Gerald Katzoff and DHP, Inc.
NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
1. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements of the Partnership include the accounts of three subsidiary partnerships (the "Ventures"), in which the Partnership has a controlling interest with appropriate elimination of inter-partnership transactions and balances. In addition, the Partnership owns a minority interest of 40% in one partnership which it accounts for on the equity method. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of the Partnership's General Partner, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for those years.
2. Depreciation
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over 25 years and furniture and fixtures over five years.
3. Costs of Issuance
Costs incurred in connection with the offering and sale of limited partnership units were charged against partners' equity as incurred.
4. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
5. Interest Payable
Interest payable includes all accrued and unpaid interest on the debt obligations, as well as interest in arrears.
6. Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit
The net loss per limited partnership unit is based on the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during the period (13,891.5 in 1995, 1994, and 1993).
7. Income Taxes
Federal and state income taxes are payable by the individual partners; accordingly, no provision or liability for income taxes is reflected in the annual financial statements.
8. Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes amounts held for tenant security deposits and real estate tax reserves.
9. Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when rental payments are due on a straight-line basis. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned.
10. Other income
Other income consists of insurance proceeds received at one of the properties resulting from a claim for water damage to several of the units.
11. Rental Properties
Rental properties are stated at cost. A provision for impairment of value is recorded when a decline in value of property is determined to be other than temporary as a result of one or more of the following: (1) a property is offered for sale at a price below its current carrying value, (2) a property has significant balloon payments due within the foreseeable future for which the Partnership does not have the resources to meet, and anticipates it will be unable to obtain replacement financing or debt modification sufficient to allow a continued hold of the property over a reasonable period of time, (3) a property has been, and is expected to continue, generating significant operating deficits and the Partnership is unable or unwilling to sustain such deficit results of operations, and has been unable to, or anticipates it will be unable
to, obtain debt modification, financing or refinancing sufficient to allow a continued hold of the property for a reasonable period of time or, (4) a property's value has declined based on management's expectations with respect to projected future operational cash flows and prevailing economic conditions. An impairment loss is indicated when the undiscounted sum of estimated future cash flows from an asset, including estimated sales proceeds, and assuming a reasonable period of ownership up to 5 years, is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment loss is measured as the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset. In the absence of the above circumstances, properties and improvements are stated at cost. An analysis is done on an annual basis at December 31 of each year.
12. New Accounting Pronouncement
Effective January 1, 1995, the Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." There was no cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 121.
NOTE C - GOING CONCERN
In recent years the Partnership has realized significant losses, including the foreclosure of one property, due to the properties' inability to generate sufficient cash flow to pay their operating expenses and debt service. At the present time, with the exception of the Magazine Place, where at the present time the Partnership does not receive any of the distributable cash (see page 7), the Partnership has feasible loan modifications in place. However, in all three cases, the mortgages are basically "cash-flow" mortgages, requiring all available cash after payment of operating expenses to be paid to the first mortgage holder. Therefore, it is unlikely that any cash will be available to the Partnership to pay its general and administrative expenses.
It is the Partnership's intention to continue to hold the properties until they can no longer meet the debt service requirements and the properties are foreclosed, or the market value of the properties increases to a point where they can be sold at a price which is sufficient to repay the underlying indebtedness (principal plus accrued interest).
Since the lenders have agreed to forebear from taking any foreclosure action as long as cash flow payments are made, the Partnership believes it is appropriate to continue presenting the financial statements on a going concern basis.
NOTE D - PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
The significant terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Agreement"), as they relate to the financial statements, follow:
All distributable cash from operations (as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership) will be distributed 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the General Partner.
All distributable cash from sales or dispositions (as defined) will be distributed to the limited partners up to their adjusted invested capital (as defined) plus an amount equal to the sum of the greater of a 6% cumulative, noncompounded annual return on the average after-credit invested capital, less amounts previously distributed (as defined); thereafter, after receipt by the General Partner or its affiliates of any accrued but unpaid real estate brokerage commissions, the balance will be distributed 15% to the General Partner and 85% to the limited partners.
Net income or loss from operations of the Partnership is allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the limited partners.
NOTE E - ACQUISITIONS
The Partnership acquired five controlling or limited partnership interests in Ventures during the period October 1986 to July 1987, as discussed below.
In October 1986, the Partnership was admitted, with a 60% general partnership interest, to a Louisiana limited partnership which owns a building located in Louisiana consisting of 57 residential units, for a cash capital contribution of $600,000. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, the Partnership's interest was reduced to 40% effective January 1, 1995.
In November 1986, the Partnership was admitted, with a 99% general partnership interest, to a Pennsylvania general partnership which owns a building located in North Carolina consisting of 64,000 square feet of commercial space, for a cash contribution of $2,450,000.
In December 1986, the Partnership was admitted, with a 99% general partnership interest, to a Maryland general partnership which owns a property located in Maryland consisting of 55 residential units and 14,800 square feet of commercial space, for a cash contribution of $3,508,700. The lender on the property foreclosed in January 1996.
In March 1987, the Partnership purchased a property consisting of three buildings (58 residential units) located in Pennsylvania for a cash capital contribution of $500,000.
In July 1987, the Partnership was admitted, with a 99% general partnership interest, to a Pennsylvania general partnership which owns a building located in Pennsylvania consisting of 18 residential units, for a cash capital contribution of $800,000.

(A) The Partnership which owns the property that collaterizes this loan had been in bankruptcy since January 1990. Although a Plan of Reorganization was filed, it was not approved. However, pursuant to a settlement agreement reached with the first mortgage holder on July 31, 1993, the bankruptcy was dismissed. It was expected that, subsequent to the bankruptcy's dismissal, the first mortgage holder would sell the loan, however the Partnership would be given the right of first refusal. In September 1994, a receiver was appointed to take possession of the
property. The lender on the property foreclosed in January 1996.
(B) Although these obligations have matured, the lenders have not made any demand for payment.
(C) Monthly payments of interest are to be made, on all three loans combined, in an amount equal to net operating income, with a minimum of $7,000 per month, increasing to $9,000 per month in January 1996 and to $11,000 per month in January 1997.
On December 2, 1994, the terms of this loan were modified to those described above. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15, "Accounting for Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings" the effects of the modification have been and will continue to be accounted for prospectively from the date of the restructuring with no gain recognized at that time.
(D) According to the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, the Partnership's interest in the property was reduced from 60% to 40% as of December 31, 1994. Since that date, the Registrant has accounted for its investment in MPP on the equity basis. See Note G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.
(E) On September 2, 1994, the terms of this loan were modified to those described above. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15, "Accounting for Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings" the effects of the modification have been and will continue to be accounted for prospectively from the date of the restructuring with no gain recognized at that time.
Approximate maturities of the mortgage loan obligations at December 31, 1995, for each of the succeeding five years are as follows:
1996 $ 152,221 1997 4,048,751 1998 44,717 1999 3,531,004 ----------- $ 7,776,693 ===========
NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Pursuant to certain agreements, the developers of the properties and limited partners in the Ventures are entitled to share in the following:
a. 15% to 50% of net cash flow from operations above certain specified amounts (three properties)
b. 30% of the net proceeds, as defined, from the sale or refinancing of one property. The Partnership is entitled to a priority distribution of such proceeds prior to any payment to the developer.
The sellers of two of the properties (who have maintained minority interests in the ventures) have agreed to reimburse the Partnership for cash flow deficits, as defined, of the properties for a five-year period (one property) and an eight-year period (one property). No reimbursements were made by the sellers pursuant to these agreements.
According to the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, the Partnership's interest in Magazine Place Limited Partnership ("MPP") was reduced from 60% to 40% as of the First Conversion Date. The First Conversion Date is the date on which the Registrant will have received a return of its initial capital contribution. For purposes of determining the First Conversion Date, the Registrant will be deemed to have received a return of its initial capital contribution when the sum of the following amounts equals $600,000: (i) cash distributions from MPP; (ii) investment tax credit allocable to the Registrant; and (iii) 50% of the aggregate of MPP's net losses and deductions allocable to the Registrant. As of December 31, 1994, the Registrant had received a return of its initial capital and the Registrant's interest in the MPP was reduced to 40%. Since that date, the Registrant has accounted for its investment in MPP on the equity basis.
NOTE H - EXTRAORDINARY GAINS
Due to insufficient cash flow at Cathedral Court General Partnership ("CCGP") from the property owned by it, the property ceased making debt service payments in 1989. In January 1990, CCGP filed a reorganization petition pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Although a plan of reorganization was filed, it was not approved. Pursuant to a settlement agreement reached with the first mortgage holder on July 31, 1993 the bankruptcy was dismissed. The terms of the settlement agreement called for payment to the first mortgage holder by CCGP of certain monies held, and for CCGP to continue to control the property. CCGP anticipated that, subsequent to the bankruptcy's dismissal, the first mortgage holder would attempt to sell the loan, but that the Partnership would be given a right of first refusal. In September 1994, due to the inability of the first mortgage holder and CCGP to reach an agreement regarding CCGP's purchase of the loan, the first mortgage holder petitioned the Circuit Court for the City of Baltimore in the matter of Harrington v. Cathedral Court General Partnership, Case No. 89340045/CE 106281, to have a receiver appointed, and such petition was granted.
