Item 1. Business.
MRI Business Properties Fund, Ltd. II ("Registrant") was organized in 1984 as a California limited partnership under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The managing general partner of Registrant is Montgomery Realty Company-84, a California general partnership of which Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a California general partnership, is the managing general partner and Montgomery Realty Corporation, a California corporation, and Montgomery Partners-84, a California general partnership, are the co-general partners. The associate general partner of Registrant is MRI Associates, Ltd. II, a California limited partnership, of which Fox Realty Investors is the general partner, and Two Broadway Associates III, an affiliate of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, is the limited partner.
Registrant's Registration Statement, filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (No. 2-90792), was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 19, 1984. Registrant marketed its securities pursuant to its Prospectus dated October 19, 1984 which was thereafter supplemented (the "Prospectus"). This Prospectus was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 and such Prospectus as supplemented is incorporated by reference herein.
During fiscal 1995 and the first quarter of fiscal 1996, Registrant's remaining Properties were sold. See "Sales" and "Subsequent Events." Registrant's principal business was to acquire (either directly or through joint ventures), hold for investment, and ultimately sell hotels. Registrant is a "closed" limited partnership real estate syndicate of the unspecified asset type. For a further description of Registrant's business, see the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Investment Objectives and Policies" in the Prospectus.
Beginning in November 1984 through June 24, 1985, Registrant offered and sold $91,083,000 in Limited Partnership Assignee Units. The net proceeds of this offering were used to purchase interests in four income-producing real properties. Registrant's property portfolio, when acquired, was geographically diversified with properties acquired in four states. The acquisition activities of Registrant were completed on March 13, 1986, and since that time the principal activity of Registrant was to merge managing its portfolio. As a result of an enhanced market for hotel properties, Registrant sold its Marriott Riverwalk property in the third quarter of 1995 (see "Sales" below for information with respect to this sale) and its Marriott Somerset and Radisson South properties in the first fiscal quarter of 1996 (see "Subsequent Events" for information with respect to these sales). In addition, the Joint Venture in which Registrant held an interest sold its only asset, the Holiday Inn - Crowne Plaza, in the first quarter of 1996. (See, "Subsequent Events"). Item 2, "Properties" sets forth a description of Registrant's properties.
Registrant anticipates that in fiscal 1996 Registrant will be dissolved and, after establishing sufficient reserves, the net assets of Registrant will be distributed to its partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
During fiscal 1995, Registrant was involved in only one industry segment, as described above. Registrant does not engage in any foreign operations or derive revenues from foreign sources.
During fiscal 1995, Registrant's Radisson South property required an asbestos abatement cleanup. The cost of this cleanup was approximately $3,000,000. Registrant funded this cleanup through working capital reserve.
Registrant maintained property and liability insurance on the properties and believes such coverage to be adequate.
Registrant's original investment objective of capital growth was not attained. Accordingly, a portion of invested capital may not be returned to limited partners. Upon termination of Registrant the general partners may be required to contribute up to approximately $1,250,000 to Registrant in accordance with the partnership agreement.
Employees/Management
Registrant has no employees. Registrant's properties were managed by unaffiliated third party management companies pursuant to management agreements with such third parties.
Registrant's affairs were managed by Metric Management Inc., ("MMI") or a predecessor from March 1988 to December 1993. On December 16, 1993, the services agreement with MMI was modified and, as a result thereof, Registrant's general partner assumed responsibility for cash management of Registrant as of December 23, 1993 and assumed responsibility for day-to-day management of Registrant's affairs, including portfolio management, accounting and investor relations services as of April 1, 1994.
On December 6, 1993, NPI Equity Investment II, Inc. ("NPI Equity II" or the "Managing General Partner") became the managing partner of FRI. As a result, NPI Equity II became responsible for the operation and management of the business and affairs of Registrant and the other investment partnerships sponsored by FRI and its affiliates. The individuals who had served previously as partners of FRI contributed their general partnership interests in FRI to a newly formed limited partnership, Portfolio Realty Associates, L.P. ("PRA"), in exchange for limited partnership interests in PRA. In the foregoing capacity, such parties continue to hold indirectly certain economic interests in Registrant and such other investment limited partnerships, but have ceased to be responsible for the operation and management of Registrant and such other partnerships. NPI Equity II is a wholly-owned subsidiary of National Property Investors, Inc. ("NPI"), a diversified real estate management company with offices in Jericho, New York and Atlanta, Georgia.
Sales/Refinancings
In December, 1994, Registrant refinanced its existing mortgages encumbering the Marriott Riverwalk property. Registrant obtained a $19,400,000 loan which bears interest at 9.85% per annum. On June 16, 1995, Registrant sold the hotel to an unaffiliated third party for $49,268,000. The sale proceeds were comprised of cash of $30,000,000 and the mortgage note of $19,268,000 which was assumed by the buyer. The sale resulted in a gain of $18,749,000, which is net of selling expenses of $256,000. The net proceeds from this sale were distributed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. See Item 5, "Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters" for additional information with respect to the distribution.
Subsequent Events
On October 5, 1995, Registrant's Somerset Marriott Hotel was sold to an unaffiliated third party for $24,950,000. After satisfaction of notes payable of approximately $22,530,000 (including accrued interest and a prepayment premium of $500,000), closing costs, credits and adjustments, the Partnership received approximately $2,580,000. At the date of the sale the net carrying value of the property was approximately $22,625,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $1,550,000 which is net of selling expenses of approximately $275,000 and will be recognized in fiscal 1996. Registrant had previously recorded a $10,948,000 provision for impairment of value in 1992 and 1993.
On December 1, 1995 the joint venture (in which Registrant has a controlling interest) sold the Radisson South Hotel to an unaffiliated third party for $31,840,000. After satisfaction of mortgage notes of approximately $14,452,000 (including accrued interest), closing costs and adjustments, the joint venture received approximately $17,000,000. In accordance with the joint venture agreement, Registrant was entitled to all of the net proceeds. In addition, Registrant expects to receive approximately $990,000 of cash from operations and to collect approximately $1,300,000 in outstanding receivables. At the date of the sale, the carrying value of the property was $20,730,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $10,950,000 which includes selling expenses of approximately $300,000 and $140,000 of net liabilities assumed by the purchaser.
As of July 7, 1995, MRI Business Properties Combined Fund No. 1, a joint venture with MRI Business Properties Fund, Ltd. III (the "Combined Fund"), entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner in the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza pursuant to which the parties agreed to sell the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza. The agreement provided that the net proceeds to the Combined Fund from any such sale must be at least $5,000,000. On December 1, 1995, the Combined Fund sold the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza property to an unaffiliated third party for $44,000,000. After satisfaction of the mortgage note of $34,000,000, closing costs and other expenses, the joint venture received approximately $8,900,000. The Combined Fund received $5,000,000 of net proceeds (of which Registrant's share is $2,500,000) in accordance with the July 7, 1995 agreement. Registrant will recognize a gain on disposition of approximately $3,000,000 during the
first quarter of fiscal 1996. The Combined Fund had previously recorded an approximate $12,000,000 provision for impairment of value in 1991 and 1992. A former joint venture partner may be required to contribute certain funds to Registrant in accordance with the joint venture agreement. The amount of contribution, if any, is not determinable at this time.
Material Events/Change in Control
On October 12, 1994, NPI sold one-third of the stock of NPI to an affiliate ("Apollo") of Apollo Real Estate Advisors, L.P. Apollo is entitled to designate three of the seven directors of NPI Equity II. In addition, the approval of certain major actions on behalf of Registrant requires the affirmative vote of at least five directors of NPI Equity II.
On October 12, 1994, affiliates of Apollo acquired for aggregate consideration of approximately $14,800,000 (i) one-third of the stock of the respective general partners of DeForest Ventures I L.P. ("DeForest I") and DeForest Ventures II L.P. ("DeForest II") and (ii) an additional equity interest in NPI-AP Management, L.P. ("NPI-AP"), an affiliate of NPI (bringing its total equity interest in such entity to one-third). NPI-AP is the sole limited partner of DeForest II and one of the limited partners of DeForest I. DeForest I was formed for the purpose of making tender offers (the "Tender Offers") for limited partnership interests in Registrant as well as 11 affiliated limited partnerships. DeForest II was formed for the purpose of making tender offers for limited partnership interest in 7 affiliated limited partnerships.
Pursuant to DeForest I's Form 13-D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, DeForest I owns 26,615 limited partnership units or 29.24% of the total limited partnership units of Registrant. (See Item 12, "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.")
On August 17, 1995, the stockholders of NPI, the sole shareholder of NPI Equity II, entered into an agreement to sell to IFGP Corporation, an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"), all of the issued and outstanding stock of NPI. The sale of the stock is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (including, third party consents and other conditions not within the control of the parties to the agreement) and is scheduled to closed in January 1996. Upon closing, it is expected that the current officers and directors of NPI Equity II will resign and Insignia will elect new officers and directors.
Insignia together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, is a fully integrated real estate service company specializing in the ownership and operation of securitized real estate assets. Insignia's principal offices are located in Greenville, South Carolina and its stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol IFS. According to Commercial Property News and the National Multi-Housing Council, Insignia is the largest property manager in the United States, has been the largest manager of residential properties since 1992, and is among the largest managers of commercial properties. As a full service real estate management organization, Insignia
performs property management, asset management, investor services, partnership administrations, real estate investment banking, mortgage banking, and real estate brokerage services for various types of property owners.
Competition
Registrant was affected by and subject to the general competitive conditions of the lodging industry. In addition, each of Registrant's properties competed in an area which normally contained numerous other properties which may be considered competitive. However, in 1995 the market for hotel properties improved significantly due to the creation of a number of Hotel REITS and numerous acquisitions by hotel
franchisers (i.e., Marriott, Radisson, etc.). As a result, Registrant was able to liquidate its portfolio as contemplated by the Prospectus at competitive prices.

James Andrews, et al., on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated v. Fox Capital Management Corporation, et al., United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, Case No. 1-94-CV-3351-JEC. ("Andrews")
In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, limited partners in certain limited partnerships affiliated with Registrant, commenced actions in against, among others, the Managing General Partner. The actions alleged, among other things, that the tender offers made by DeForest Ventures I L.P. ("DeForest I") and DeForest Ventures II L.P. ("DeForest II") in October 1994 constituted (a) breach of the fiduciary duty owed by the Managing General Partner to the limited partners of Registrant, and (b) a breach of, and an inducement to breach, the provisions of the Partnership Agreement of Registrant. The actions, which had been brought as class actions on behalf of limited partners sought monetary
damages in an unspecified amount and, in the Whiteside action, to enjoin the tender offers. The temporary restraining order was
sought in the Whiteside action was denied by the court on November 3, 1994 and on November 18, 1994, the court denied Whiteside a preliminary injunction.
On March 16, 1995 the United States Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta, Division, entered an order which granted preliminary approval to a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") in the Ruben and Andrews actions, conditionally certified two classes for purpose of settlement, and authorized the parties to give notice to the classes of the terms of the proposed settlement. Plaintiffs counsel in the Vernon and Whiteside action joined in the Settlement Agreement as well. The Settlement Agreement received final approval on May 19, 1995 and the actions were dismissed subject to satisfaction of the terms of the Settlement Agreement. The two certified classes constituted all limited partners of Registrant and the eighteen other affiliated partnerships who either tendered their units in connection with the October tender offers or continued to hold their units in Registrant and the other affiliated partnerships. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, which were described in the notice sent to the class members in March 1995, (and more fully described in the Amended Stipulation of Settlement submitted in the court on March 14, 1995) all claims which either were made or could have been asserted in any of the class actions would be dismissed with prejudice and/or released. In consideration for the dismissal and/or release of such claims, among other things, DeForest I paid to each unit holder who tendered their units in Registrant an amount equal to 15% of the original tender offer price less attorney's fees and expenses. In addition, DeForest I commenced a second tender offer on June 2, 1995 for an aggregate number of units of Registrant (including the units purchased in the initial tender) constituting up to 49% of the total number of units of Registrant at a price equal to the initial tender price plus 15% less attorney's fees and expenses. Furthermore, under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Managing General Partner agreed, among other things, to provide Registrant a credit line of $150,000 per property which would bear interest at the lesser of prime rate plus 1% and the rate permitted under the partnership agreement of Registrant. The second tender offer closed on June 30, 1995.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This Item should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and other Items contained elsewhere in this Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As described in Item 1, "Business" and Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Notes 10 and 12", Registrant sold its remaining properties during the second half of fiscal 1995 and the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The aggregate sales prices for these properties was $150,058,000. After satisfaction of existing mortgages, closing costs and amounts distributed to Registrant's joint venture partners in the Radisson South and Holiday Inn-Crowne Plaza properties, net proceeds received by Registrant were approximately $52,080,000. In addition, with respect to the sale of its Radisson South hotel, Registrant expects to receive approximately $990,000 of cash from operations and approximately $1,300,000 in outstanding receivables. As a result of these sales, Registrant will record a gain of $18,749,000 for fiscal 1995 and a gain of approximately $15,500,000 for fiscal 1996.
Since these were Registrant's last remaining properties, Registrant expects to be terminated in 1996 after collection of receivables, payment of outstanding liabilities and a final distribution to the partners. Registrant expects to distribute a substantial portion of these proceeds in January 1996, with the remaining amount to be distributed upon termination of Registrant.
Registrant uses working capital reserves provided from any undistributed cash flow from operations and sales of properties as its primary source of liquidity. During the year ended September 30, 1995, the Radisson South generated positive cash flow while the Somerset Marriott Hotel generated negative cash flow due to significant property improvements. The Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza, owned by the unconsolidated joint venture, experienced positive cash flow during the year ended September 30, 1995. Working capital reserves are usually invested in United States Treasury obligations, money market accounts and repurchase agreements secured by United States Treasury obligations.
Registrant distributed $32,334,000 to the limited partners ($354.99 per limited partnership unit) and $660,000 to the General Partners on July 26, 1995. The distributions were from the sale proceeds from Registrant's Marriott Riverwalk Hotel and working capital reserves.
The level of liquidity based upon cash and cash equivalents experienced a $4,533,000 decrease at September 30, 1995, as compared to September 30, 1994. Registrant's $6,086,000 of net cash from operating activities was more than offset by $9,398,000 of net cash used in investing activities and $1,221,000 of net cash used in financing activities. Investing activities consisted of $32,994,000 of distributions to partners and property improvements of $7,868,000 which was partially offset by $30,000,000 of net sale proceeds and a decrease in restricted cash of $1,464,000. The decrease in restricted cash is primarily the result of the lender releasing $823,000 of restricted cash relating to completed renovations at Registrant's Marriott Somerset property. Financing activities
consisted of $19,874,000 paid in satisfaction of the mortgages encumbering Registrant's Marriott
Riverwalk property, $747,000 of notes payable principal payments and proceeds of $19,400,000 from refinancing the mortgages encumbering Registrant's Marriott Riverwalk property. A prepayment premium of approximately $640,000 was paid to the former mortgagee. Mortgage costs of $212,000 (operating activities) paid during the year ended September 30, 1995 and $194,000 paid in the prior year were incurred in connection with the refinancing. All other increases (decreases) in certain assets and liabilities are the result of the timing of receipt and payment of various operating activities.
As required by the terms of the settlement of the actions brought against, among others, DeForest Ventures I L.P. ("DeForest") relating to the tender offer made by DeForest in October 1994 (the "First Tender Offer") for units of limited partnership interest in Registrant and certain affiliated partnerships, DeForest commenced a second tender offer (the "Second Tender Offer") on June 2, 1995 for units of limited partnership interest in Registrant. Pursuant to the Second Tender Offer, DeForest acquired an additional 339 units of Registrant which, when added to the units acquired during the First Tender Offer, represents approximately 29% of the total number of outstanding units of Registrant (see Item 3, "Legal Proceedings"). The Managing General Partner believes that the tender will not have a significant impact on future operations or liquidity of Registrant. Also in connection with the settlement, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner has made available to Registrant a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by Registrant. Registrant has no outstanding amounts due under this line of credit. This line of credit was Registrant's only unused source of liquidity.
On August 17, 1995, the stockholders of NPI, Inc., the sole shareholder of NPI Equity II, agreed to sell to Insignia all of the issued and outstanding stock of NPI, Inc. The consummation of this transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (including, third party consents and other conditions not within the control of the parties to the agreement) and is scheduled to close in January 1996. Upon closing, it is expected that Insignia will elect new officers and directors of NPI Equity II. The Managing General Partner does not believe these transactions will have a significant effect on Registrant's liquidity or results of operation.
In March 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," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This Statement will not affect the financial position or results of operations of Registrant.
Registrant's original investment objective of capital growth was not attained. Accordingly, a portion of invested capital may not be returned to limited partners. Upon termination of Registrant the general partners may be required to contribute up to approximately $1,250,000 to Registrant in accordance with the partnership agreement.
Results of Operations
Fiscal Year 1995 ("1995") Compared to Fiscal Year 1994 ("1994")
Operating results, before minority interest in joint venture's operations, improved by $18,964,000 for the year ended September 30, 1995, as compared to 1994. Revenues increased by $15,819,000 and expenses decreased by $3,145,000. Operating
results improved primarily due to the $18,749,000 gain on sale of Registrant's Marriott Riverwalk Hotel.
With respect to the remaining properties, revenues improved by $4,035,000 for the year ended September 30, 1995, as compared to September 30, 1994, due to increases in room revenues of $2,837,000, food and beverage revenue of $968,000, and other operating revenue of $230,000. Room revenue increased at Registrant's Radisson South and Somerset Marriott hotels due to increases in average daily room rates and occupancy. Food and beverage revenue increased at both of Registrant's hotels primarily due to increased occupancy. Other operating revenues increased primarily due to increases in telephone income and miscellaneous income at both of Registrant's hotels. In addition, interest income increased by $186,000 primarily due to the investment of Registrant's Marriott Riverwalk sale proceeds.
With respect to the remaining properties expenses increased by $2,375,000 due to increases in room expenses of $793,000, food and beverage expenses of $614,000, other operating expenses of $700,000 and depreciation and amortization of $419,000, which were partially offset by decreases in interest expense of $89,000 and equity in joint venture operations of $62,000. Room and food and beverage expenses increased due to increases in occupancy at both of Registrant's hotels. Other operating expenses increased at both of Registrant's hotels. Deprecation and amortization increased due to significant fixed asset improvements. Interest expense decreased due to the amortization of the mortgage principal balances. The loss from Registrant's unconsolidated joint venture (Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza) decreased due to improved operations at the hotel. In addition, general and administrative expenses increased by $13,000.
Fiscal Year 1994 ("1994") Compared to Fiscal Year 1993 ("1993")
Operating results, before minority interest in joint venture's operations improved by $2,139,000 for the year ended September 30, 1994, as compared to 1993. Revenues increased by $473,000 and expenses decreased by $1,666,000.
Revenues improved by $473,000 for the year ended September 30, 1994, as compared to September 30, 1993, due to increases in room revenues of $490,000, other operating revenue of $288,000 and interest income of $105,000, which was substantially offset by a decrease in food and beverage revenue of $410,000. Room revenue increased at Registrant's Radisson South and Marriott Riverwalk hotels and declined at the Somerset Marriott Hotel. The increase in room revenue was attributable to an increase in average daily room rates at Registrant's Radisson South Hotel and an increase in occupancy at Registrant's Marriott
Riverwalk Hotel. Other operating revenues increased primarily due to increases in telephone income and miscellaneous income at all of Registrant's hotels. Interest income increased due to an increase in average working capital reserves available for investment. Food and beverage revenue decreased at Registrant's Marriott Riverwalk and Somerset Marriott hotels.
Expenses decreased by $1,666,000 due to decreases in provision for impairment of value of $2,007,000, equity in unconsolidated joint venture operations of $720,000 and food and beverage expenses of $276,000, which were partially offset by increases in room expenses of $260,000, other operating expenses of $667,000, interest expense of $174,000, depreciation and amortization of $195,000 and general and administrative expenses of $41,000. The loss from Registrant's unconsolidated joint venture (Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza) decreased due to improved operations at the hotel. Food and beverage expense decreased primarily due to lower food and beverage revenues.
Room expenses increased primarily at Registrant's Marriott Riverwalk and Radisson South hotels, and was attributable to the increased revenue at these hotels. Other operating expenses increased at all of Registrant's properties. Interest expense increased due to a debt modification, relating to the Somerset Marriott which became effective during the fourth quarter of 1993. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to costs associated with the management transition. Depreciation expense increased due to significant fixed assets improvements.

During fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, Registrant was allocated losses from the unconsolidated joint venture which owns the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza (formerly the Hyatt Regency Ravinia Hotel). The hotel was sold on December 1, 1995. The Consolidated Financial Statements for the unconsolidated joint venture are presented in Item 8, Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules. A discussion of its Results of Operations follows:
Fiscal Year 1995 ("1995") Compared to Fiscal Year 1994 ("1994")
Operating results, prior to minority interest, improved by $257,000, for the year ended September 30, 1995, as compared to 1994, as revenues increased by $1,349,000 and expenses increased by $1,092,000. The significant increase in revenue is attributable to an increase in average room rates and a slight increase in occupancy. The increase in operating expenses is partially attributable to the increase in occupancy at the hotel. Interest expense increased due to the increased interest rate on the extension of the mortgage.
Fiscal Year 1994 ("1994") Compared to Fiscal Year 1993 ("1993")
Operating results, prior to minority interest, improved by $1,202,000, for the year ended September 30, 1994, as compared to 1993, as revenues increased by $2,045,000 and expenses increased by $843,000. The significant increase in
revenue is attributable to both higher occupancy and average room rates. The increase in expenses is attributable to the increase in occupancy at the hotel.
In addition, under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the loss from the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza was allocated in different proportions during the year ended September 30, 1994, as compared to 1993. This combined with improved operations, resulted in a smaller loss being allocated to Registrant.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
MRI Business Properties Fund, Ltd. II (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of California to acquire, hold for investment, and ultimately sell income-producing hotel properties. At September 30, 1995, the Partnership owned a hotel property located in Somerset, N.J. (Somerset Marriott) and a controlling joint venture interest in the Radisson South Hotel (Minneapolis, Minnesota). In addition, the Partnership's unconsolidated joint venture hotel property (the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Ravinia) is located in Atlanta, Georgia. The Partnership's Marriott Riverwalk Hotel property was sold in June 1995, Somerset Marriott was sold in October 1995 and the Radisson South and the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza (owned by the unconsolidated joint venture) were sold in December 1995. The Partnership is expected to be terminated in 1996 after collection of receivables, payment of outstanding liabilities and a final distribution to the partners. The managing general partner of the Partnership is Montgomery Realty Company-84 ("Montgomery"), a general partnership, and the associate general partner is MRI Associates, Ltd. II ("MRI"), a limited partnership. Fox Realty Investors ("FRI") is the managing general partner of Montgomery and a general partner of MRI. The Partnership was organized on April 24, 1984 but did not commence operations until November 1984. The capital contributions of $91,083,000 ($1,000 per unit) were made by the limited partners.
On December 6, 1993, NPI Equity Investments II, Inc. ("MGP") became
the managing partner of FRI and assumed operational control over Fox Capital Management Corporation ("FCMC"). As a result, MGP became responsible for the operation and management of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the other investment partnerships sponsored by FRI and/or FCMC. The individuals who had served previously as partners of FRI and as officers and directors of FCMC contributed their general partnership interests in FRI to a newly formed limited partnership, Portfolio Realty Associates, L.P. ("PRA"), in exchange for limited partnership interests in PRA. In the foregoing capacity, such partners will continue to hold indirectly certain economic interests in the Partnership and such other investment partnerships, but will cease to be responsible for the operation and management of the Partnership and such other partnerships. MGP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of National Property Investors, Inc. ("NPI, Inc"), a diversified real estate management company headquartered in Jericho, New York and Atlanta, Georgia.
On October 12, 1994, NPI, Inc. sold one-third of the stock of NPI, Inc. to an affiliate of Apollo Real Estate Advisors, L.P. ("Apollo"). In addition, in October 1994 and June 1995, DeForest Ventures I L.P. ("DeForest"), an entity controlled by Apollo and affiliates of NPI Inc., commenced tender offers for limited partnership assignee units of Registrant and 11 other affiliated limited partnerships. Pursuant to the tender offers DeForest acquired approximately 29% of total limited partnership units of the Partnership.
On August 17, 1995, the stockholders of NPI, Inc., entered into an agreement to sell to IFGP Corporation, an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"), all of the issued and outstanding stock of NPI, Inc. The sale is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and is scheduled to close in January 1996.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Termination
As discussed in Note 12, the Partnership's remaining joint venture owned properties were sold on December 1, 1995. The Partnership is expected to be terminated in 1996 after collection of receivables, payment of outstanding liabilities and a final distribution to the partners.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Partnership and the remaining joint venture in which the Partnership has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The investment in an unconsolidated joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting (see Note 5).
Distributions
On July 26, 1995 the Partnership made distributions of $32,334,000 to limited partners ($354.99 per limited partnership assignee unit) and $660,000 to the general partner during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. These distributions were primarily made from the proceeds received from the sale of the Partnership's Marriott Riverwalk Hotel property.
In October 1995 the partnership made distributions of $2,802,000 ($30.76 per limited partnership assignee unit) and $57,000 to the general partners. These distributions were primarily made from the net proceeds received from sale of the Partnership's Somerset Marriott Hotel Property.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." This Statement was amended in October 1994 by FASB Statement No. 119, "Disclosures About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments." These Statements will not affect the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership but will require additional disclosure on the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Disclosures under these statements will be required in the financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1995.
In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This Statement will not affect the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers cash investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Partnership maintains cash balances at institutions insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Balances in excess of $100,000 are usually invested in money market accounts, United States Treasury bills and repurchase agreements, which are collateralized by United States Treasury obligations. At times during the year, cash balances exceeded insured levels. At September 30, 1995, the Partnership had $1,752,000 invested in overnight repurchase agreements, secured by United States Treasury obligations, which are included in cash and cash equivalents.
Inventories and Operating Supplies
Inventories and operating supplies, including linen, china and glassware, are stated generally at the lower of cost or market.
Real Estate
Real estate properties and improvements are stated at cost. A provision for impairment of value is recorded when a decline in the value of a 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 over 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 five 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. Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of properties and improvements. Properties which were contributed to the joint ventures by the minority joint venture partners are stated at amounts
agreed upon among the partners at the date of acquisition or

contribution which approximated fair market value. The Partnership contributed cash to the joint ventures equal to its proportionate ownership interest in the joint ventures. Certain payments received from the joint venture partners pursuant to performance guarantee agreements in excess of the hotel's operating income are applied as a reduction of the cost of the related hotel. The cost of one property was reduced in connection with the dissolution of a joint venture partnership.
Depreciation
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 5 years to 39 years. Properties for which a provision for impairment of value has been recorded and are expected to be disposed of within the next year are not depreciated.
Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs are deferred and amortized, as interest expense, over the lives of the related loans, originally ten years, or expensed if financing is not obtained. At September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994, accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs totaled $52,000 and $41,000 respectively. Net deferred costs of $38,000 and $107,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, are included in accounts receivable and other assets.
Intangible Asset
The intangible asset which was acquired by the Partnership in connection with its Marriott Riverwalk acquisition was stated at fair value and was amortized over the estimated useful life of the respective asset which was 30 years. The asset was written off when the Marriott Riverwalk was sold (see Note 10).
Net Income (Loss) Per Limited Partnership Assignee Unit
Net income (loss) per limited partnership assignee unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) allocated to the limited partners by 91,083 assignee units outstanding.
Income Taxes
No provision for Federal and state income taxes has been made in the financial statements because income taxes are the obligation of the partners.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership may be charged by the general partner and affiliates for services provided to the Partnership. From March 1988 to December 1992 such amounts were assigned pursuant to a services agreement by the general partner and affiliates to Metric Realty Services, L.P., which performed partnership management and other services for the Partnership.
On January 1, 1993, Metric Management, Inc., ("MMI") a company which is not affiliated with the general partner, commenced providing certain property and portfolio management services to the Partnership under a new services agreement. As provided in the new services agreement effective January 1, 1993, no reimbursements were made to the general partner and affiliates after December 31, 1992. Subsequent to December 31, 1992, reimbursements were made to MMI. On December 16, 1993, the service agreement with MMI was modified and, as a result thereof, MGP assumed responsibility for cash management and other partnership services on various dates commencing December 23, 1993. Related party expenses for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:
Reimbursed expenses are included in general and administrative expenses.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the general partner is entitled to receive cash distributions from operations as follows: (1) a Partnership management incentive equal to an allocation of ten percent determined on a cumulative, noncompounded basis, of cash available for distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) which is distributed to partners, and (2) a continuing interest representing two percent of cash available for distribution distributed to partners remaining after the allocation of the Partnership management incentive. Subsequent to December 31, 1986, the Partnership management incentive is subordinated to certain cash distributions to the unit holders.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES (Continued)
The general partner is also entitled to its continuing interest of two percent of net income and net loss, taxable income and taxable loss and distribution of cash available for distribution provided, however, that 20% of realized gains from the sale or other disposition of properties is allocated to the general partners until such time as the general partners do not have deficit capital accounts. Upon termination of the Partnership the general partners may be required to contribute up to approximately $1,250,000 to the Partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement.
On July 26, 1995 the general partner received a distribution of $660,000, representing the general partners two percent interest in cash available for distribution which was primarily from the proceeds received on the sale of the Partnership's Marriott Riverwalk Hotel property. There were no cash distributions to the general partner for the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.
In October 1995 the general partner received a distribution of $57,000, representing the general partners two percent in cash available for distribution which was primarily received from the
proceeds received on the sale of the Partnership's Somerset Marriott Hotel property.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Apart from the reimbursements paid to the general partner and affiliates as set forth in Note 2 above, the Partnership has an agreement with an affiliate of a joint venture partner, an otherwise non-affiliated third party, which provides for the management and operation of the joint venture property. Management fees paid to the affiliate of such joint venture partner for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993 were $897,000, $805,000, and $762,000, respectively. In addition, $1,451,000, $1,219,000, and $2,208,000 were paid to an affiliate of the joint venture partner for franchise services and reimbursed expenses during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
4. RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash represents amounts maintained in accounts in accordance with loan agreements on the Marriott Riverwalk Hotel and Somerset Marriott Hotel in order to fund future capital requirements. The September 30, 1994 balance was composed of $1,098,000 for the Marriott Riverwalk Hotel and $823,000 for the Somerset Marriott Hotel.

5. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE
In February 1986, the Partnership acquired a 50 percent ownership interest in MRI Business Properties Combined Fund No. 1 ("Combined Fund"), a joint venture with MRI Business Properties Fund, Ltd. III, a California limited partnership affiliated with the Partnership's general partner. The Combined Fund acquired a majority interest in a joint venture, MRI Ravinia Associates, which on March 13, 1986, acquired the Hyatt Regency Ravinia Hotel. In fiscal year 1991 the Combined Fund effected a change in the joint venture ownership (see discussion below). The Partnership's interest in the Combined Fund is reported using the equity method of accounting.
In fiscal year 1990, the joint venture partner at the Hyatt Regency Ravinia Hotel indicated it would not contribute its 50 percent share to fund deficit operations at the hotel. Consequently, in fiscal year 1991, the Partnership and MRI Business Properties Fund Ltd. III, each funded $1,060,000 to the hotel, of which $530,000 from each was funded
on behalf of the joint venture partner. Accordingly, the joint venture partner was not allocated loss in fiscal year 1991.
Formal notice of deficiency was sent placing the joint venture partner in default. As a result of such default, in fiscal year 1991, the Combined Fund effected a change in the joint venture ownership by amending their agreement with the joint venture, partner and forming a new joint venture with an affiliate of Holiday Inns, Inc. ("Holiday"). The new joint venture entered into a new management agreement with Holiday. As consideration for a 50 percent interest in the new joint venture Holiday has agreed to pay for the costs to terminate the Hyatt Management Agreement, the conversion costs associated with the change to a Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza and the coverage of operational losses up to $5,000,000 for up to the first five years of the new joint venture. As a result of the new joint venture, which included the Combined Fund's surrender of certain priority returns, there was a reduction, through provision for impairment of value, to the book basis of the property of the Combined Fund of approximately $7,700,000 which was recognized in 1991. An additional provision for impairment of value of approximately $4,300,000 was recognized in 1992. In July 1993, the guarantee was exhausted and the Combined Fund and its joint venture partner become jointly responsible for their share of operational losses. In October 1993, the Combined Fund and Holiday each contributed $300,000 to cover operational losses. The $34,000,000 mortgage encumbering the hotel which was due to mature in July 1995 was extended to January 1, 1996 and was satisfied on December 1, 1995 on sale of the hotel (see Note 12).

6. REAL ESTATE
Hotel properties and improvements at September 30, 1995 and 1994 are summarized as follows:
7. NOTES PAYABLE
Individual properties and improvements are pledged as collateral for the related notes payable. The notes bear interest at rates from 5.1 percent to 14.5 percent. One of the notes has been discounted to yield imputed interest at 13 percent. Amortization of the discount was $285,000, $260,000 and $238,000 for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Marriott Riverwalk notes were refinanced by the partnership in December 1994 and were fully satisfied in June of 1995 in connection with the sale of the property (see Note 10).
Notes payable also includes a renovation loan of $650,000 for the Somerset Marriott Hotel to Marriott Corporation which is currently due. The Somerset Marriott Hotel and Radisson South Hotel notes payable were fully satisfied in October 1995 and December 1995, respectively, in connection with the respective sales of the properties (see Note 12). The Radisson South Hotel notes were due to mature on December 1, 1995 and the Somerset Marriott notes were due to mature on December 31, 1997 and February 1, 1998.
8. PROVISIONS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF VALUE
During fiscal years 1993 and 1992, the Partnership determined that based upon the continuing deterioration of the economic market in Somerset, New Jersey, and projected future operational cash flows, the decline in value of the Somerset Marriott Hotel was other than temporary and that recovery of its carrying value was not likely. Accordingly, provisions for impairment of value of $2,007,000 and $8,941,000 were recognized in fiscal year 1993 and 1992, respectively. Carrying value includes the cost of the property less accumulated depreciation.

At the date of the sale, the net carrying value of the property was $27,326,000 and net assets of approximately $2,937,000 were taken over by the purchaser. The sale resulted in a gain of $18,749,000, which is net of selling expenses of $256,000.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
MRI Business Properties Combined Fund No. 1 ("Partnership") is a general partnership organized February 18, 1986 under the laws of the State of California to obtain a 50 percent interest in a Joint Venture which acquired the Ravinia Hotel. The general partners of the Partnership are MRI Business Properties Fund, Ltd. II ("MRI BPF, Ltd. II") and MRI Business Properties Fund, Ltd. III ("MRI BPF, Ltd. III") which are California limited partnerships affiliated through their managing general partners.
The Partnership is a 50 percent owner in a Joint Venture with Holiday Inn Ravinia, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holiday Inn Worldwide, Inc. This Joint Venture owns a 495-room hotel operated as the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Ravinia in Atlanta, Georgia (Note 9). Losses of the Joint Venture are allocated to its owners pursuant to the venture agreement based on ownership.
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the Partnership and a Joint Venture in which the Partnership has a 50 percent interest. The Joint Venture's fiscal year ends on the Thursday prior to September 30 of each year. The year ended September 29, 1994 contained 53 weeks. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be "cash equivalents".
INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of food, beverage, and miscellaneous supplies. Inventories are recorded under the first-in,
MRI BUSINESS PROPERTIES COMBINED FUND NO.1 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
first-out method and are generally stated at the lower of cost or market.
ORGANIZATION COSTS
Organization costs are deferred and amortized over five years using the
straight-line method.
PROPERTY AND IMPROVEMENTS AND DEPRECIATION
Property and improvements are stated at cost. A provision for impairment of value was recorded for the property since the property's value had declined based on management's expectations with respect to projected future operational cash flows and prevailing economic conditions. In the absence of the above circumstances, property and improvements are stated at cost. Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of property and improvements.
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 27-40 years for building and improvements and 5-6 years for furnishings.
INCOME TAXES
MRI Business Properties Combined Fund No. 1 is not subject to income taxes because it is a Partnership. Instead, each partner is taxed on its share of the Partnership's taxable income, whether or not distributed, and is entitled to deduct on its own income tax return its share of the Partnership net losses to the extent of its tax basis in the Partnership.
RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 financial statements to conform with the 1995 and 1994 financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications have had no effect on net loss as previously reported.
MRI BUSINESS PROPERTIES COMBINED FUND NO.1 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994
NOTE 2 - RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash represents monies maintained in an account in accordance with the management agreement on the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Ravinia in order to meet future capital requirements. Pursuant to the management agreement, monthly funding is required by the property in the amount of 5 percent of monthly Adjusted Gross Revenues.
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables due the hotel from guests, corporations, associations and governments.
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND IMPROVEMENTS
Hotel property and improvements are summarized as follows:
1995 1994 ---- ---- Land $ 9,108,000 $ 9,108,000 Building and improvements 45,356,000 45,179,000 Furnishings 8,684,000 8,611,000 ----------- ----------- 63,148,000 62,898,000
Accumulated depreciation (17,952,000) (16,335,000) Allowance for impairment of value (see Note 5) (11,962,000) (11,962,000) ----------- ----------- Net property and improvements $33,234,000 $34,601,000 ============ ===========
Differences exist between financial statement and federal income tax bases as a result of accelerated depreciation methods. The depreciable property basis used for tax purposes as of September 30, 1995 and 1994 is $38,298,000 and $37,617,000 along with accumulated depreciation of
MRI BUSINESS PROPERTIES COMBINED FUND NO.1 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND IMPROVEMENTS (CONTINUED)
$9,910,000 and $7,546,000, respectively. Depreciation expense for tax purposes as of September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993 amounts to $3,638,000,
$3,617,000, and $3,317,000, respectively.
NOTE 5 - PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT OF VALUE
The impairment of value (Note 4) resulted in the reduction of the book basis of the hotel in the amounts of $4,311,000 and $7,651,000 in 1992 and 1991, respectively. For these years, the Joint Venture determined that based upon the continuing deterioration of the economic market in Atlanta, Georgia and projected operational cash flows, the decline in value of the hotel was other than temporary and that recovery of its carrying value was not likely.
NOTE 6 - DUE TO AFFILIATES
Of the $1,491,000 due to affiliates, $370,000 is due to an affiliate of the Partnership while the remainder represents an advance from Holiday Inn Worldwide, Inc. issued in 1993. These advances are unsecured and non-interest bearing.
NOTE 7 - NOTE PAYABLE
Property and improvements are pledged as collateral for the note payable of $34,000,000 which bears interest at 12.29% per annum. The note requires monthly payments of interest only with a balloon payment in January 1, 1996 of all outstanding principal and unpaid interest. The note is to be satisfied upon the sale of the collateralized property (Note 9).

Item 13.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
The Partnership Agreement provides that MRC will be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred in providing services required by Registrant. From March 1988 to December 1992 such amounts were assigned pursuant to a services agreement by the MRC and affiliates to Metric Realty Services, L.P., which performed partnership management and other services for Registrant. On January 1, 1993, Metric Management, Inc., a company which is not affiliated with the general partner, commenced providing certain property and portfolio management services to Registrant under a new services agreement. As provided in the new services agreement, effective January 1, 1993, no reimbursements were made to the general partner and affiliates after December 31, 1992. Subsequent to December 31, 1992, reimbursements were made to Metric Management, Inc. On December 16, 1993, the services agreement with Metric Management, Inc. was modified and, as a result thereof, the Managing General Partner assumed responsibility for cash management of Registrant as of December 23, 1993 and for day to day management of Registrant's affairs, including portfolio management, accounting, and investor relations services as of April 1, 1994. Related party expenses for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:
1995 1994 1993 ---------- ---------- -------
Reimbursement of expenses: Partnership accounting and investor services $102,000 $ 76,000 $ 39,000 Professional services - 11,000 7,000 -------- -------- --------
Total $102,000 $ 87,000 $ 46,000 ======== ======== ========
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the general partner is entitled to receive cash distributions from operations as follows: (1) a
Partnership management incentive equal to an allocation of ten percent determined on a cumulative, noncompounded basis, of cash available for distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) which is distributed to partners, and (2) a continuing interest representing two percent of cash available for distribution distributed to partners remaining after the allocation of the Partnership management incentive. Subsequent to December 31, 1986, the Partnership management incentive is subordinated to certain cash distributions to the unit holders.
The general partner is also entitled to its continuing interest of two percent of net income and net loss, taxable income and taxable loss and distribution of cash available for distribution provided, however, that 20% of realized gains from the sale or other disposition of properties is allocated to the general partners until such time as the general partners do not have deficit capital accounts. Upon termination of the Partnership the general partners may be required to contribute up to approximately $1,250,000 to the Partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement.
On July 26, 1995 the general partner received a distribution of $660,000, representing the general partners two percent interest in cash available for distribution which was primarily from the proceeds received on the sale of the Partnership's Marriott Riverwalk Hotel property. There were no cash distributions to the general partner for the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.
In October 1995 the general partner received a distribution of $57,000, representing the general partners two percent in cash available for distribution which was primarily received from the proceeds received on the sale of the Partnership's Somerset Marriott Hotel property.
Apart from the reimbursements paid to the general partner and affiliates as set forth above, the Partnership has an agreement with an affiliate of a joint venture partner, an otherwise non-affiliated third party, which provides for the management and operation of the joint venture property. Management fees paid to the affiliate of such joint venture partner for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $897,000, $805,000 and $762,000, respectively. In addition, $1,451,000, $1,219,000 and $2,208,000 were paid to an affiliate of the joint venture partner for franchise services and reimbursed expenses during the year ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
