Item 1. Business - ----------------
Balcor Realty Investors Ltd.-82 (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1981 under the laws of the State of Illinois. The Registrant raised $74,133,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests. The Registrant's operations currently consist exclusively of investment in and operation of real property, and all financial information included in this report relates to this industry segment.
The Registrant utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire fourteen real property investments. The Registrant has since disposed of eleven of these properties. As of December 31, 1995, the Registrant owned the three 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 Registrants remaining assets over the next two 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 various other Registrants affiliated with the Registrant. These favorable market conditions are in part attributable to the increasing strength of the capital markets and the re-entry of REITs into the acquisition market. The General Partner intends to begin marketing the Registrants remaining 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 8.71 % of the total interests outstanding in the Registrant and assigned the interests to its affiliate, WIG 82 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 Acquistition VII, L.L.C. ("Metropolitan"). Metropolitan is an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc., which provides property management services to all of of the Registrant's properties. Metropolitan 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.
During 1995, the wrap-around note received in connection with the sale of the Meridian Hills Court Apartments was repaid in full. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements 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-XI, 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.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings - -------------------------
In 1981, a joint venture consisting of the Registrant as general partner and the seller as limited partner (the "Joint Venture") acquired the Balcones Woods Apartments. In 1983, 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 $205,860 and the Affiliate $195,654, 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 $216,750 and $208,250, respectively.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations - ---------------------
Operations - ----------
Summary of Operations - ---------------------
Balcor Realty Investors Ltd.-82 (the "Partnership") recognized net gains on sales of properties during 1993, 1994, 1995 and recognized an extraordinary gain during 1993 in connection with the forgiveness of debt related to a property sale. The timing of these transactions, resulted in a decrease in net income in 1995 as compared to 1994 and an increase in net income in 1994 as compared to 1993. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.
1995 Compared to 1994 - ---------------------
The sales of the Bemis Square Shopping Center and the Via El Camino Apartments in February and May 1994, respectively, resulted in decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation, amortization, property operating expenses, and property management fees during 1995 as compared to 1994. The Partnership also recognized gains in connection with the sales of these properties during 1994.
An increase in rental revenue at the three remaining properties due to higher rental and occupancy rates partially offset the above decrease in rental and service income during 1995 as compared to 1994.
Interest on short-term investments increased during 1995 as compared to 1994 due to an increase in interest rates earned on short-term investments.
During 1994, a liability related to tenant improvements at one of the disposed properties was written-off and recognized as other income in the financial statements.
The February 1995 repayment of the Meridian Hills Court Apartments wrap-around note caused a decrease in interest income on wrap-around note receivable during 1995 when compared to 1994. In addition during 1995, the Partnership recognized the final portion of the deferred gain related to this installment sale. This gain had been deferred from 1986, when the property had been sold for a cash down payment plus the wrap-around note.
The repayment by the Partnership of the mortgage note payable related to the Songbird Phases I and II Apartments in June 1994 and the assumption by the borrower of the mortgage note payable related to the Meridian Hills Court Apartments wrap-around note in February 1995, further contributed to the decrease in interest expense on mortgage notes payable.
Decreased expenditures at the Eagles Pointe and Balcones Woods Apartments relating to roof repairs and interior improvements further contributed to the decrease in property operating expenses in 1995.
1994 Compared to 1993 - ---------------------
The sales of the Southgate and Bemis Square shopping centers and the Via El Camino Apartments in June 1993, February 1994 and May 1994, respectively, 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 1994 as compared to 1993. The Partnership recognized gains in connection with these property dispositions and recognized a loss from the May 1993 sale of the 1400 North Lake Shore Drive Apartment Building, which had been in receivership since June 1992. The Partnership also recognized an extraordinary gain in 1993 due to the forgiveness of debt on the 1400 North Lake Shore Drive Apartment Building.
An increase in rental revenue during 1994 at the Eagles Pointe Apartments due to higher rental rates partially offset the above decrease in rental and service income.
The proceeds received from the October 1993 refinancings of the Balcones Woods and Songbird Phases I and II apartment complexes and the above-mentioned property sales, resulted in an increase in funds available during 1994 for short-term investments. This increase in available funds, combined with higher interest rates, resulted in an increase in interest income on short-term investments during 1994 when compared to 1993.
An increase in the interest rate in accordance with the terms of the Meridian Hills Court Apartments wrap-around note resulted in an increase in interest income on wrap-around note receivable during 1994 when compared to 1993.
A reduction in the interest rate in October 1993 on the note payable related to the Songbird Phases I and II Apartments, and the subsequent repayment of this note in June 1994, further contributed to the decrease in interest expense on mortgage notes payable.
A decrease in expenditures for painting and floor and wall covering upgrades at the Eagles Pointe Apartments during 1994 further contributed to the decrease in property operating expense. An increase in landscaping, painting, insurance and leasing costs at the Balcones Woods Apartments and higher insurance expense, and real estate tax consulting fees at the Songbird Phases I and II Apartments during 1994 substantially offset the decrease in property operating expenses due to the above mentioned property disposition.
Higher accounting costs resulted in an increase in administrative expenses during 1994 when 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. The operating activities of the Partnership include the cash flow from operations of the properties as discussed below, and interest income received on the wrap-around note receivable and short-term investments, partially offset by administrative costs. The net cash flow provided by investing activities represents the net proceeds from the repayment of the Meridian Hills Court Apartments wrap-around note receivable. Financing activities included quarterly distributions to Limited Partners including
special distributions in April and October 1995, principal payments on mortgage notes payable, and capital improvement escrow activity.
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, the Balcones Woods and Songbird Phases I and II apartment complexes generated positive cash flow. The Eagles Pointe Apartments generated positive cash flow during 1995 and a marginal cash flow deficit during 1994. The improvement in cash flow at Eagles Pointe was due primarily to a decrease in repair and maintenance expenditures. The Bemis Square Shopping Center generated positive cash flow and the Via El Camino Apartment Complex generated a marginal cash flow deficit prior to their respective sales in 1994. As of December 31, 1995, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's properties ranged from 91% to 99%.
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 improving property 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 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 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 re-entry of REITs into the acquisition market. The General Partner intends to begin marketing the remaining properties in the Partnership 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.
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. The Partnership has no third party financing which matures prior to 1998.
Distributions to Limited Partners were reinstated beginning with the second quarter 1994 distribution. The Partnership made two distributions in 1994 totaling $3.45 and four distributions in 1995 totaling $72.95. Distributions were comprised of $9.45 of Net Cash Receipts and $63.50 of Net Cash Proceeds in 1995, and $3.45 of Net Cash Receipts in 1994. The quarterly distributions from Net Cash Receipts increased in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to improved operations of the Partnership's properties. In addition, the Partnership made special distributions of $63.50 per Interest in 1995 from the Meridian Hills wrap-around note repayment and from Net Cash Proceed reserves.
In January 1996, the Partnership made a distribution of $296,532 ($4.00 per Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests representing a regular quarterly distribution of Net Cash Receipts of $3.00 per Interest for the fourth quarter of 1995, and Net Cash Proceeds of $1.00 per Interest from Net Cash Proceed reserves. Including the January 1996 distribution, investors have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts of $30.90 and Net Cash Proceeds of $374.50, totaling $405.40 per $1,000 Interest, as well as certain tax benefits. The General Partner expects to continue making quarterly distributions to Limited Partners based on the current performance of the Partnership's properties. However, continued distributions will depend on cash flow from the Partnership's properties, the maintenance of adequate reserves 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 capital.
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 and/or sales prices, depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead to increased rental revenues and real estate values.

BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS LTD.-82 (An Illinois Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of the Partnership's Business:
Balcor Realty Investors Ltd.-82 is engaged principally in the operation of residential real estate located in Austin, Texas, San Antonio, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia.
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 reporting 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
Depreciation expense for tenant improvements was computed using a straight-line method over the term of the lease.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are charged to the related asset account.
Interest incurred while properties were under construction was capitalized.
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. Deferred gains on sales of properties result from prior year sales being recorded under the installment method. Gains are recognized (based on the gross profit percentage) as future sales proceeds are collected.
(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 financing fees which are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.
(f) 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.
(g) 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.
(h) Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(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 and 1993 results.
3. Partnership Agreement:
The Partnership was organized during June 1981. The Partnership Agreement provides for Balcor Partners-XI to be the General Partner and for the admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 75,000 Limited Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Interest, 74,133 of which were sold on or prior to May 29, 1982, the termination date of the offering.
The Partnership Agreement generally provides that the General Partner will be allocated 5% of the profits and losses. Profits and losses from property dispositions will be allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to Limited Partners. One hundred percent of Net Cash Receipts available for distribution shall be distributed to the holders of Interests. In addition, there shall be accrued for the benefit of the General Partner as its distributive share from operations, an amount equivalent to approximately 5% of the total Net Cash Receipts being distributed, which will be paid only out of Net Cash Proceeds. The payment of this amount to the General Partner is subordinated to the return to holders of Interests of their Original Capital plus a 3% per annum Cumulative Distribution on Adjusted Original Capital, as described below. Under certain circumstances, the General Partner may also participate in the Net Cash Proceeds from (i) the refinancing of Partnership properties and
(ii) the sale of Partnership properties. When and as the Partnership sells or refinances its properties, the Net Cash Proceeds resulting therefrom, which are available for distribution, will be distributed only to holders of Interests until such time as holders of Interests have received an amount equal to their Original Capital plus a 3% per annum Cumulative Distribution on Adjusted Original Capital. Thereafter, the General Partner will receive 15% of further distributed Net Cash Proceeds. Such distribution will include the accrued distributive share from operations.
4. Wrap-around Note Receivable:
In February 1995, the Partnership received $1,342,445 as payment in full on the wrap-around note that had been received in connection with the sale of the Meridian Hills Court Apartments. This note had matured in November 1994, but the Partnership granted the borrower an extension. The amount received represented the wrap-around note balance of $6,150,000, less the underlying mortgage note balance which was $4,807,555 at the time of the repayment. The liability for the underlying mortgage note was assumed by the purchaser of the property. As a result of this repayment, the Partnership recognized the remaining deferred gain of $3,244,180 from the property sale in its 1995 financial statements. The Partnership had recognized interest income related to this wrap-around note during 1995, 1994 and 1993.
5. Mortgage Notes Payable:
Mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the following:
See note (A) following.
(A) In February 1995, the note which wraps around the mortgage note payable was repaid in full. The liability for the underlying mortgage note was assumed by the purchaser of the property. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
Real estate with an aggregate carrying value of $15,849,875 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.
The Partnership incurred and paid interest expense on non-affiliated mortgage notes payable of $2,067,794, $2,792,114 and $3,551,828 during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Future annual maturities of the above mortgage notes payable during each of the next five years are approximately as follows:
1996 $ 442,000 1997 465,000 1998 7,167,000 1999 348,000 2000 376,000
6. Management Agreements:
As of December 31, 1995, all of the properties owned by the Partnership are under management agreements with a third-party management company. These management agreements provide for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts.
7. Seller's Participation in Joint Venture:
The Balcones Woods Apartments is owned by a joint venture between the Partnership and the seller. Consequently, the property seller retains an interest in the property through its interest in the joint venture. All assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint venture are included in the financial statements of the Partnership with the appropriate adjustment, if any, for the seller's participation in the joint venture.
8. Tax Accounting:
The Partnership keeps its books in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and existing interpretations thereof. The accompanying financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles will differ from the tax returns due to the different treatment of various items as specified in the Internal Revenue Code. The net effect of these accounting differences is that the net income for 1995 in the financial statements is $2,828,225 more than the tax income of the Partnership for the same period.
9. Transactions with Affiliates:
Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are:
Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended 12/31/95 12/31/94 12/31/93 ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- Paid Payable Paid Payable Paid Payable ------ --------- ------ --------- ------ --------- Property manage- ment fees None None $336,869 None $424,534 $35,260 Reimbursement of expenses to General Partner, at cost: Accounting $48,142 $4,054 66,482 $25,801 58,691 4,849 Data processing 23,877 1,627 44,605 10,907 32,306 6,148 Investor com- munications 6,608 None 20,355 5,898 18,645 1,541 Legal 21,721 2,539 10,594 8,392 15,634 1,292 Portfolio management 109,487 12,306 65,643 39,974 77,270 16,561 Other 8,284 107 12,668 6,869 15,490 1,280
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 expenses. The Partnership paid premiums to the deductible insurance program of $52,047, $66,189, and $46,181 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
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.
In June 1994, the Partnership used cash reserves to repay the $2,323,345 note payable related to the Songbird Phases I and II Apartments which was outstanding from Balcor Real Estate Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership incurred interest expense of $42,437 and $214,679 and paid interest expense of $72,120 and $206,003 on this loan during 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Partnership was required to post a $1,230,000 letter of credit as additional collateral for the Eagles Pointe Apartments mortgage note payable. An affiliate of the General Partner originally had been providing a guarantee for this letter of credit. During 1993, the Partnership pledged $1,230,000 from its cash reserves as cash collateral for the letter of credit in place of the affiliate's guarantee. The amount pledged as collateral is invested in short-term instruments pursuant to the terms of the pledge agreement with the lending institution. Interest earned on this amount accumulates for the benefit of the Partnership.
10. Property Sales:
(a) In May 1994, the Partnership sold the Via El Camino Apartments for $7,150,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $5,530,000 in full satisfaction of the property's first mortgage loan. The basis of the property sold was $3,841,250, net of accumulated depreciation of $2,536,427. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $3,147,866 from the sale of the property.
(b) In February 1994, the Partnership sold the Bemis Square Shopping Center, including a leasehold interest in a portion of the land, for $4,350,000. The purchaser assumed the existing first mortgage loan of $3,602,118. The basis of the property sold was $1,815,309, net of accumulated depreciation of $1,579,016. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $2,375,416 from the sale of the property.
(c) In June 1993, the Partnership sold the Southgate Shopping Center for $2,600,000. The purchaser assumed the existing first mortgage loan of $2,135,142. The basis of the property sold was $1,736,952, net of accumulated depreciation of $1,335,655. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $832,295 from the sale of the property.
(d) In May 1993, the Partnership sold the 1400 North Lake Shore Drive Apartment Building for $11,200,000. The Partnership paid net proceeds of $11,110,154 after selling costs in full satisfaction of the outstanding first mortgage loan, accrued interest and real estate tax advances due to an affiliate of the General Partner. In March 1993, the first mortgage loan was purchased by this affiliate, which had also advanced the funds in April 1993 to pay the delinquent real estate taxes on the property. The balance of the first mortgage loan was $13,000,000 and the accrued interest expense and real estate taxes totaled $2,442,777, net of escrows of $200,372 withheld by the first mortgage holder. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain of $4,332,623 relating to the forgiveness of debt.

12. 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, accounts payable and restricted investments approximate fair value.
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.
13. Subsequent Event:
(a) In January 1996, the Partnership made a distribution of $296,532 ($4.00 per Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests representing a quarterly distribution of Net Cash Receipts of $3.00 per Interest for the fourth quarter of 1995 and a special distribution of $1.00 per Interest from Net Cash Proceeds reserves.
