Item 1. Business - ----------------
Balcor Realty Investors-83 (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1981 under the laws of the State of Illinois. The Registrant raised $75,005,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests. The Registrant's operations consist exclusively of investment in and operation of real properties, and all financial information included in this report relates to this industry segment.
The Registrant utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire eleven real property investments and a minority joint venture interest in an additional property. The Registrant has since disposed of five of these properties, including the property in which the Registrant held a minority joint venture interest. As of December 31, 1995, the Registrant owns the seven properties described under "Properties" (Item 2). The Partnership Agreement provides that the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of the Registrant's properties will not be reinvested in new acquisitions.
Overall, the investment real estate market saw gradual improvement over the last year. This improvement has taken place in an environment of generally low interest rates and little or no new supply, parameters which may not exist in the next few years. Demand for real estate space, while projected to improve in line with the overall economy, is also vulnerable to external forces. The major challenges facing the real estate industry today include increased international competition, corporate restructurings, new computer and communications technologies, an aging population and potential revisions of the tax code. In addition, the increased flow of capital to real estate through new vehicles such as commercial mortgage-backed securities and REITs could spur new construction at unsupportable levels, as well as impact existing property values.
Operationally, existing apartment properties continued to register occupancy percentages in the 90s, with average rents rising at an annual rate of between 3 and 4 percent. Apartments are still considered one of the top real estate asset classes in terms of performance. However, some markets are experiencing new construction of rental units which, if unrestrained, could impact the performance of existing properties. Most of the new construction is aimed at the two segments of the rental market which are growing the fastest: low-income households and upper-income households who prefer to rent rather than own. Of all the major asset classes, apartments typically display the least volatility in terms of property values.
The General Partner had previously advised the Limited Partners that its strategy was to sell the Registrant's remaining assets over the next two to three years. The General Partner also stated that the timing of the liquidation could be lengthened or shortened due to changes in market conditions, economic factors, interest rates and unforeseen events. Since November 1995, the General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties has become increasingly favorable to sellers of these properties. This belief is based on the results of the sales and marketing activities of the Registrant as described below and based upon the similar results of such activities by various other partnerships affiliated with the Registrant. These favorable market conditions are in part attributable to the increasing strength of the capital markets and the reentry of REITs into the acquisition market. Since
November 1995, the Registrant has entered into a letter of intent to sell one of its seven properties, and, if the market remains favorable, intends to begin actively marketing more of the properties for sale. If the current market conditions for sales remain favorable and the General Partner can obtain appropriate sales prices, the Registrant's liquidation strategy may be accelerated.
The Registrant received notice of an unsolicited offer for the purchase of limited partnership interests ("tender offer") in November 1995. The tender offer was made by Walton Street Capital Acquisition Co., L.L.C. ("Walton Street"). Walton Street stated that their primary motive in making the offer was to make a profit from the purchase of the interests. Walton Street acquired 7.70% of the total interests outstanding in the Registrant and assigned the interests to its affiliate, WIG 83 Partners. The Registrant incurred administrative costs in responding to the tender offer.
The Registrant received notice of an unsolicited offer for the purchase of limited partnership interests ("tender offer") on March 11, 1996. The tender offer was made by Metropolitan Acquisition VII, L.L.C. ("Metropolitan"). Metropolitan is an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc., which provides property management services to all of the Registrant's properties. Metropolitan has stated that their primary motive in making the offer is to make a profit from the purchase of the interests. Metropolitan is seeking to acquire up to 30% of the total interests outstanding in the Registrant. The Registrant will incur administrative costs in responding to the tender offer and may incur additional costs if additional tender offers are made in the future. The General Partner cannot predict with any certainty what the impact of this tender offer or any future tender offers will have on the operations or management of the Registrant.
The Registrant completed the refinancings of two mortgage notes payable in 1995. See "Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources," for additional information.
During 1995, the Registrant sold the North Cove apartment complex. See "Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources," for additional information.
The Registrant, by virtue of its ownership of real estate, is subject to federal and state laws and regulations covering various environmental issues. Management of the Registrant utilizes the services of environmental consultants to assess a wide range of environmental issues and to conduct tests for environmental contamination as appropriate. The General Partner is not aware of any potential liability due to environmental issues or conditions that would be material to the Registrant.
The officers and employees of Balcor Partners-XIII, the General Partner of the Registrant, and its affiliates perform services for the Registrant. The Registrant currently has no employees engaged in its operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings - --------------------------
Deer Oaks Apartments - ---------------------
In 1983, a joint venture consisting of the Registrant as general partner and the seller as limited partner (the "Joint Venture") acquired the Deer Oaks Apartments. In 1981, an affiliate of the seller (together, the "Seller") sold another property to a joint venture affiliated with the Registrant (the "Affiliate"). In 1987, the Joint Venture and the Affiliate filed suit against the Seller, two principals of the Seller and other parties in the 285th District Court, Bexar County, Texas, Case No.: 87-CI-11919, DO Associates, et al. vs. ADC Development Co., et al. seeking to recover amounts from the Seller under the management and guarantee agreements and for construction defects at the properties.
The case went to trial in April 1992 and the jury found for the Joint Venture and the Affiliate on certain counts and against them on other counts. The jury awarded the Joint Venture $195,654 and the Affiliate $205,860, which was less than requested. The Joint Venture and the Affiliate filed a notice of appeal in October 1993, in the Fourth Court of Appeals, State of Texas, San Antonio (Appeal No.: 04-93-00718-CV). In January 1995, a motion was filed in the Appellate Court to stay the appeal so that settlement discussions could proceed. In February 1996, a settlement was completed pursuant to which the Seller has paid the Joint Venture and the Affiliate $208,250 and $216,750, respectively.
Proposed class action - ----------------------
On February 29, 1996, a proposed class action complaint was filed, Raymond Masri vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al., Case No. 96/103727 (Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York). The Registrant, additional limited partnerships which were sponsored by The Balcor Company, three limited partnerships sponsored by the predecessor of Lehman Brothers, Inc. (together with the Registrant and the affiliated partnerships, the "Defendant Partnerships"), Lehman Brothers, Inc. and Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. are defendants. The complaint alleges, among other things, common law fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty relating to the disclosure of information in the offering of limited partnership interests in the Defendant Partnerships. The complaint seeks judgment for compensatory damages equal to the amount invested in the Defendant Partnerships by the proposed class plus interest accrued thereon; general damages for injuries arising from the defendants' actions; recovery from the defendants of all profits received by them as a result of their actions relating to the Defendant Partnerships; exemplary damages; attorneys' fees and other costs.
The defendants intend to vigorously contest this action. No class has been certified as of this date. Management of each of the defendants believes they have meritorious defenses to contest the claims. It is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this action would have a material adverse impact on the Registrant.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations - -------------
Operations - ----------
Summary of Operations - ---------------------
Balcor Realty Investors-83 (the "Partnership") recognized gains on the sales of the North Cove Apartments during 1995 and the Sunset Place Apartments during 1993. In addition, in connection with the 1994 refinancing of the North Cove Apartments mortgage loan, the lender forgave deferred interest and a portion of the principal due on the loan resulting in the recognition of an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt. These gains are the primary reasons the Partnership generated net income during 1995, 1994 and 1993. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.
1995 Compared to 1994 - ---------------------
The sale of North Cove Apartments in June 1995 resulted in decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation, property operating expenses, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1995 as compared to 1994. Certain of these decreases were also affected by the events described below. In connection with this sale, the Partnership recognized a gain of $2,711,565 during 1995.
Higher rental rates at most of the Partnership's remaining properties during 1995 were offset by the above-mentioned sale. As a result, rental and service income and, correspondingly, property management fees decreased during 1995 as compared to 1994.
Due to higher interest rates, interest income on short-term investments increased during 1995 as compared to 1994.
Amortization expense decreased during 1995 as compared to 1994 as a result of lower deferred expenses relating to the Eagle Crest - Phase I new mortgage loan.
The Partnership incurred higher legal, consulting, printing and postage costs in connection with a tender offer during the fourth quarter of 1995. As a result, administrative expenses increased during 1995 as compared to 1994.
During 1995, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt in connection with the settlement reached with the seller of the Springs Pointe and Desert Sands apartment complexes. In February 1994, the first mortgage loan collateralized by North Cove Apartments was refinanced, and the lender forgave deferred interest and a portion of the principal. In connection with this transaction, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt.
In June 1995, the first mortgage loan collateralized by Deer Oaks Apartments was refinanced, and a prepayment penalty of $43,153 was incurred. Also in June 1995, the North Cove Apartments was sold and the remaining unamortized deferred expenses in the amount of $56,000 were recognized. These two amounts have been recognized as extraordinary items and classified as debt extinguishment expenses.
1994 Compared to 1993 - ---------------------
The sale of Sunset Place Apartments in August 1993 resulted in decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation, amortization of deferred expenses, property operating expenses, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1994 as compared to 1993.
These decreases were affected by the events described below. In connection with the sale, the Partnership recognized a gain of $3,768,358 during 1993.
Higher rental rates at most of the Partnership's remaining properties during 1994 resulted in increases in rental and service income, and correspondingly property management fees, which partially offset the decrease from the Sunset Place Apartments sale.
Due to higher interest rates and larger average cash balances available for investment during 1994 as a result of the net proceeds from the 1993 property sale and refinancings, interest income on short-term investments increased in 1994 as compared to 1993.
Interest expense decreased for 1994 as compared to 1993 as a result of the sale of Sunset Place Apartments, lower interest rates on the Desert Sands and Springs Pointe mortgage loans effective in 1993 when the interest rates were adjusted downward based on a market index in accordance with the loan agreements, lower interest expense relating to the North Cove mortgage loan refinancing in February 1994, and a prepayment penalty (which was classified as interest expense) in connection with the July 1993 refinancing of the Walnut Ridge - Phase II Apartment's mortgage loan. These decreases were partially offset by higher interest expense due to an increase in debt resulting from the 1993 refinancings on Walnut Ridge Phases - I and II apartment complexes.
Primarily due to higher insurance costs at each of the Partnership's properties, higher roof repair expenditures at the Deer Oaks, Desert Sands, and Sandridge-Phase II apartment complexes, higher exterior painting expenditures at the Desert Sands and Springs Pointe apartment complexes and higher carpet replacement costs at the Eagle Crest - Phase I apartment complex, property operating expenses increased during 1994 as compared to 1993. These expenditures fully offset the decrease from the property sale and a decrease resulting from lower painting costs at the Walnut Ridge - Phase I and II apartment complexes.
As a result of higher accounting and data processing fees combined with legal expenses incurred related to the North Cove bankruptcy proceedings, administrative expenses increased during 1994 as compared to 1993.
Liquidity and Capital Resources - -------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership decreased as of December 31, 1995 as compared to December 31, 1994 primarily due to a special distribution to Limited Partners in October 1995 of $5,025,335 from Net Cash Proceeds. The Partnership's operating activities consisted primarily of cash flow generated from the operation of the properties and interest income on short-term investments, which were partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses. Investing activities consisted of the release of the cash collateral related to Desert Sands Apartments and proceeds from the sale of North Cove Apartments. Financing activities consisted of distributions to Limited Partners, principal payments on mortgage notes payable and activity associated with the refinancings of the Eagle Crest-Phase I and Deer Oaks Apartments mortgage loans.
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 1995 and 1994, all of the Partnership's seven remaining properties generated positive cash flow. The North Cove Apartments, which was sold in June 1995, generated a marginal cash flow deficit during 1994 and 1995 prior to its sale. As of December 31, 1995, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's properties ranged from 93% to 97%.
While certain of the Partnership's properties have improved, the General Partner continues to pursue a number of actions aimed at improving the cash flow of the Partnership's properties including the refinancing of mortgage loans, improving operating performance and seeking rent increases where market conditions allow.
The General Partner had previously advised the Limited Partners that its strategy was to sell the Partnership's remaining assets over the next two to three years. The General Partner also stated that the timing of the liquidation could be lengthened or shortened due to changes in market conditions, economic factors, interest rates and unforeseen events. Since November 1995, the General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties has become increasingly favorable to sellers of these properties. This belief is based on the results of the sales and marketing activities of the Partnership as described below and based upon the similar results of such activities by various other partnerships affiliated with the Partnership. These favorable market conditions are in part attributable to the increasing strength of the capital markets and the reentry of REITs into the acquisition market. Since November 1995, the Partnership has entered into a letter of intent to sell one of its seven properties, and, if the market remains favorable, intends to begin actively marketing more of the properties for sale. If the current market conditions for sales remain favorable and the General Partner can obtain appropriate sales prices, the Partnership's liquidation strategy may be accelerated.
Although an affiliate of the General Partner has, in certain circumstances, provided loans for certain properties of the Partnership, there can be no assurance that loans of these types will be available from either an affiliate or the General Partner in the future. During 1997, approximately $734,000 of loan financing on the Walnut Ridge - Phase II Apartments with an affiliate of the General Partner matures.
During January and June 1995, the Eagle Crest - Phase I and Deer Oaks apartment complexes' first mortgage loans, respectively, were refinanced. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
Each of the Partnership's properties is owned through the use of third-party mortgage loan financing and, therefore, the Partnership is subject to the financial obligations required by such loans. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for information concerning outstanding balances, maturity dates, interest rates, and other items related to each of these mortgage loans. As a result of the General Partner's efforts to obtain loan modifications as well as refinancings of many existing loans, the Partnership has no third party financing which matures prior to 1998.
A restricted deposit in the amount of $700,000 was pledged as additional collateral related to the mortgage loan on the Desert Sands Apartments. The amount pledged as collateral was invested in short-term instruments pursuant to the terms of the pledge agreement with the lending institution and interest earned on this amount accumulated to the benefit of the Partnership. In March 1995, this restricted deposit was released and the accumulated interest was paid to the Partnership.
During June 1995, the Partnership sold the North Cove Apartments for a sale price of $10,750,000, subject to the underlying mortgage loan, and received net proceeds of $785,831. See Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
In January 1996, the Partnership paid $337,523 ($4.50 per Interest) to Limited Partners representing the quarterly distribution for the fourth quarter of 1995. The General Partner made four distributions totaling $85.00 and $18.00 per Interest during 1995 and 1994, respectively. Distributions were comprised of $18.00 of Net Cash Receipts during each of 1995 and 1994 and $67.00 of Net Cash Proceeds during 1995. To date, investors have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts of $75.50 and Net Cash Proceeds of $167.00, totaling $242.50 per $1,000 Interest, as well as certain tax benefits. The General Partner expects to continue quarterly distributions to Limited Partners based on the current performance of the Partnership's properties. However, the level of future distributions will depend on cash flow from the Partnership's remaining properties, and proceeds from future property sales, as to all 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 all of their original investment.
In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" which establishes accounting standards for impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of. This statement has been adopted by the Partnership as of January 1, 1995 and did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership.
Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real estate investments. Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating costs which may or may not be recovered through increased rents depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead to increased rental revenues and real estate values. The timing of the long-term effects of inflation on real estate may be dictated by general or local economic conditions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of Balcor Realty Investors-83:
We have audited the financial statements and the financial statement schedule of Balcor Realty Investors-83 (An Illinois Limited Partnership) as listed in the index of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedule 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.

BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS-83 (An Illinois Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of the Partnership's Business:
Balcor Realty Investors-83 is engaged principally in the operation of residential real estate located in various markets within the United States.
2. Accounting Policies:
(a) The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could vary from those estimates.
(b) Depreciation expense is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods. Rates used in the determination of depreciation are based upon the following estimated useful lives:
Years -----
Buildings and improvements 20 to 30 Furniture and fixtures 5
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are charged to the related asset account.
As properties are sold, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts. Any gain or loss on disposition is recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(c) Effective January 1, 1995, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". Under SFAS 121, the Partnership records its investments in real estate at the lower of cost or fair value, and periodically assesses, but not less than on an annual basis, possible impairment to the value of its properties. The General Partner estimates the fair value of its properties by dividing the property's expected net operating income by a risk adjusted rate of return which considers economic and demographic conditions in the market. In the event the General Partner determines an impairment in value has occurred, and the carrying amount of the real estate asset will not be recovered, a provision is recorded to reduce the carrying basis of the property to its estimated fair value. The General Partner considers the method referred to above to result in a reasonable measurement of a property's fair value, unless other factors affecting the property's value indicate otherwise.
(d) Deferred expenses consist of loan modification and refinancing fees which are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements.
(e) The Financial Accounting Standard Board's Statement No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Since quoted market prices are not available for the Partnership's financial instruments, fair values have been based on estimates using present value techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 does not apply to all balance sheet items and excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments such as real estate and investment in joint ventures from its disclosure requirements.
(f) Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents are held or invested primarily in one issuer of commercial paper.
(h) 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.
(i) A reclassification has been made to the previously reported 1994 and 1993 financial statements to conform with the classification used in 1995. This reclassification has not changed the 1994 or 1993 results.
3. Partnership Agreement:
The Partnership was organized in December 1981; however, operations did not commence until February 1983. The Partnership Agreement provides for Balcor Partners-XIII to be the General Partner and for the admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 75,005 Limited Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Interest, all of which were sold as of March 28, 1983, the termination date of the offering.
The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner will be allocated 5% of the operating profits and losses and 1% of capital losses and the greater of 1% of capital profits or an amount equal to Net Cash Proceeds distributed to the General Partner. The Partnership has allocated 5% of capital profits (which are mainly a result of prior depreciation deductions) to the General Partner. This method more evenly matches deductions and the gain resulting from those deductions. 100% 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 5.26% of the total Net Cash Receipts being distributed, which will be paid only out of available Net Cash Proceeds.
When and as the Partnership sells or refinances properties, the Net Cash Proceeds resulting therefrom which are available for distribution will be distributed only to the Limited Partners until such time as the Limited Partners have received an amount equal to their Original Capital plus any
deficiency in the Cumulative Distribution of 6% per annum on Adjusted Original Capital. Only after such returns are made to the Limited Partners would the General Partner receive 18% of further distributed Net Cash Proceeds including its accrued share of Net Cash Receipts, subject to certain limitations as specified in the Partnership Agreement.
4. Mortgage Notes Payable:
Mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the following: Carrying Carrying Current Final Property Amount of Amount of Inter- Matur- Current Estimated Pledged as Notes at Notes at est ity Monthly Balloon Collateral 12/31/95 12/31/94 Rate % Date Payment Payment - --------------- --------- ----------- -------- ------ ------- ----------

Total $46,407,211 $56,248,201 =========== ===========
(A) In June 1995, this loan was refinanced. The interest rate decreased from 10.00% to 7.35%, the maturity date was extended from October 1995 to July 2002 and the monthly payments decreased from $39,491 to $33,071. A portion of the proceeds from the new $4,800,000 first mortgage loan were used to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $4,315,363. In connection with the refinancing, a prepayment penalty of $43,153 was incurred and classified as debt extinguishment expense.
(B) In January 1995, this loan was refinanced. The interest rate increased from 9.025% to 9.621%, the maturity date was extended from November 1994 to February 2002 and the monthly payments increased from $52,187 to $61,008. A portion of the proceeds from the new $7,180,000 first mortgage loan were used to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $6,939,000.
(C) This property was sold to an unaffiliated party during June 1995. See Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. Prior to the sale, this loan had originally matured in June 1993 and the Partnership remitted the property's monthly cash flow as interest expense until the loan was refinanced in February 1994. Pursuant to the terms of the refinancing, the Partnership was required to remit $1,000,000 to the lender representing a principal reduction, and the lender forgave $466,926 of the principal balance and deferred interest of $933,474, reducing the principal balance from $11,366,926 to $9,900,000. This resulted in a $1,400,400 extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt in 1994.
(D) In July 1994, this loan was refinanced. The interest rate increased from 9.025% to 9.125%, the maturity date was extended from December 1994 to August 2001 and the monthly payments increased from $23,489 to $24,409. The proceeds from the new $3,000,000 first mortgage loan and cash reserves were used to repay the existing first mortgage loan of $3,123,000.
(E) Represents an unsecured loan from The Balcor Company ("TBC"), an affiliate of the General Partner, as successor to Balcor Real Estate Holdings, Inc. The pay rate is equal to the net cash flow from the property and payments are applied first to interest and then to principal. The loan matured in December 1994, and TBC extended the loan for an additional three years.
Real estate with an aggregate carrying value of $36,696,464 at December 31, 1995 was pledged as collateral for repayment of mortgage loans.
The Partnership's loans described above require current monthly payments of principal and interest, unless otherwise noted.
Five-year maturities of the mortgage notes payable are approximately as follows:
1996 $ 682,000 1997 1,467,000 1998 19,217,000 1999 275,000 2000 10,577,000
During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership incurred interest expense on mortgage notes payable to non-affiliates of $3,962,845, $4,382,118 and $5,519,514, respectively. The Partnership paid interest expense to non-affiliates of $3,962,845 in 1995, $4,382,118 in 1994 and $5,312,292 in 1993.
5. Management Agreements:
As of December 31, 1995, all of the properties owned by the Partnership are managed by a third-party management company. These management agreements provide for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts.
6. Sellers' Participation in Joint Ventures:
The Deer Oaks and Eagle Crest - Phase I apartment complexes are owned by joint ventures between the Partnership and the respective sellers. Consequently, the sellers retain an interest in each property through their interest in each joint venture. All assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint ventures are included in the financial statements of the Partnership with the appropriate adjustment to income or loss, if any, for the sellers' participation in the joint ventures.
7. Tax Accounting:
The Partnership keeps its books in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and existing interpretations thereof. The accompanying financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, will differ from the tax returns due to the different treatment of various items as specified in the Internal Revenue Code. For 1995, the net effect of these accounting differences is that the net income in the financial statements is $3,907,697 less than the tax income of the Partnership for the same period.
8. Transactions with Affiliates:
Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are:

Allegiance Realty Group, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, managed all of the Partnership's properties until the affiliate was sold to a third party in November 1994.
As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership has a $734,154 unsecured third loan outstanding to TBC. The Partnership incurred interest expense on the affiliate loans of $74,512, $95,481 and $324,360 and paid interest expense of $81,500, $164,371 and $381,585 during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
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; however, the General Partner is reimbursed for program expenses. The Partnership paid premiums to the deductible insurance program of $97,533, $161,478 and $106,145 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
9. Property Sale:
In June 1995, the North Cove Apartments was sold for $10,750,000. In connection with the sale, the purchaser assumed the $9,795,572 third party first mortgage loan. The basis of the property was $7,869,838, which is net of accumulated depreciation of $5,731,055. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $2,711,565 from the sale of the property. In connection with the sale, the remaining unamortized deferred expenses in the amount of $56,000 were recognized as an extraordinary item and classified as debt extinguishment expense.
10. Restricted Investments:
A restricted deposit in the amount of $700,000 was pledged as additional collateral to the mortgage loan on the Desert Sands Apartments. The amount pledged as collateral was invested in short-term instruments pursuant to the terms of the pledge agreement with the lending institution and interest earned on this amount accumulated to the benefit of the Partnership. In March 1995, this restricted deposit was released and the accumulated interest was paid to the Partnership.
11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Partnership's financial instruments at December 31, 1995 are as follows:
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and accrued interest receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value.
Mortgage Notes Payable: Based on borrowing rates available to the Partnership at the end of 1995 for mortgage loans with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of the mortgage notes payable approximates the carrying value.
12. Extraordinary Items:
(a) During 1995, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt of $40,653 in connection with the settlement reached with the seller of the Springs Pointe and Desert Sands apartment complexes.
(b) During 1995, the Partnership refinanced the Deer Oaks Apartments first mortgage loan. In connection with the refinancing, a prepayment penalty of $43,153 was incurred and classified as debt extinguishment expense.

(a) In January 1996, the Partnership made a distribution of $337,523 ($4.50 per Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests for the fourth quarter of 1995.

(c) On February 29, 1996, a proposed class action complaint was filed, Raymond Masri vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al., Case No. 96/103727 (Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York). The Partnership, additional limited partnerships which were sponsored by The Balcor Company, three limited partnerships sponsored by the predecessor of Lehman Brothers, Inc. (together with the Partnership and the affiliated partnerships, the "Defendant Partnerships"), Lehman Brothers, Inc. and Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. are defendants. The complaint alleges, among other things, common law fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty relating to the disclosure of information in the offering of limited partnership interests in the Defendant Partnerships. The complaint seeks judgment for compensatory damages equal to the amount invested in the Defendant Partnerships by the proposed class plus interest accrued thereon; general damages for injuries arising from the defendants' actions; recovery from the defendants of all profits received by them as a result of their actions relating to the Defendant Partnerships; exemplary damages; attorneys' fees and other costs.
The defendants intend to vigorously contest this action. No class has been certified as of this date. Management of each of the defendants believes they have meritorious defenses to contest the claims. It is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this action would have a material adverse impact on the Partnership.
