ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
(a) General Development of the Business
Centennial Mortgage Income Fund II (the "Partnership"), a California Limited Partnership, was organized on July 12, 1985. The Partnership's registration statement became effective January 17, 1986. The general partners are John B. Joseph, Ronald R. White and Centennial Corporation ("CC"). During the fourth quarter of 1992, 60 months after the closing of its offering stage, the Partnership entered the repayment stage. For additional information, See Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Centennial Capital Inc., ("CCI") tendered its resignation as a general partner of the Partnership effective January 31, 1994. The remaining general partners requested the consent of the limited partners to the addition of Centennial Corporation ("CC") as new general partner. During 1994, CC, a privately-held corporation whose stock is owned by affiliates of Ronald R. White and John B. Joseph, was approved as a new general partner. CC was incorporated in October of 1983 to engage in the real estate lending business and to provide consulting services.
(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments
Not applicable.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
The Partnership was formed to invest in mortgage investments consisting of participating first mortgage loans, other equity participation loans, construction loans, and wrap-around and other junior loans on commercial, industrial and residential income-producing real property.
The Partnership's objectives are to preserve the Partnership's invested capital, provide increased cash distributions to the limited partners as the cash flow from the properties underlying mortgage investments increases over the life of the Partnership, provide capital growth through participation in the increased value of the underlying properties and provide liquidating distributions as cash from the sale of real estate owned is no longer needed for development and operations of real estate owned.
Due to the long term recession and falling real estate market values in California, many of the Partnership's loans became delinquent and management of the Partnership elected to foreclose, thereby increasing real estate owned balances. Most of the loans secured by operating properties have been repaid. As a result, the Partnership has become a direct investor in real estate and intends to manage operating properties and develop raw land until such time as the Partnership is able to sell its real estate owned. The real estate owned balance before allowance for possible losses at December 31, 1994 was $11,284,000, increasing to $11,314,000 at year end 1995 and increasing to $11,316,000 at year end 1996.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.
(a) Securities Market Information
There is no market for the Partnership's limited partnership units, nor is one expected to develop.
The Partnership units were offered by the Partnership through selected dealers who were members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (b) Approximate Number of Holders of Limited Partnership Units
As of December 31, 1996, there were approximately 3,800 holders of limited partnership units.
(c) Partnership Distributions
No distributions were declared or paid by the Partnership during the three year period ended December 31, 1996.
Management intends to distribute cash flow available for distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), if any, on a quarterly basis. Distributions may vary in amount and may be suspended at such time as the Partnership requires working capital, or at any time that the general partners, in their sole discretion, determine it to be in the best interest of the Partnership. In the third quarter of 1991, management suspended distributions. See Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. ITEM 6.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
General
Net loss and loss per limited partnership unit were $(1,515,000) and $(51.99) for the year ended December 31, 1996 down from $(2,377,000) and $(81.57) in 1995 and $(2,243,000) and $(76.97) in 1994. The loss in 1996 is primarily the result of the losses in unconsolidated investees, an increase in expenses associated with non-operating real estate owned and an increase in general and administrative expenses. The loss in 1995 is primarily due to losses in unconsolidated investees and a decrease in income from operations of real estate owned. The loss in 1994 is primarily the result of the provision for possible losses and losses in unconsolidated investees, a decrease in interest income and income from operations of real estate owned offset by a decrease in operating expenses from operations of real estate owned and a decrease in interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had $261,000 in unrestricted cash and interest-bearing deposits. Additional sources of funds are expected to be from the sale of real estate owned. Future operations of real estate owned are not expected to be a significant source of funds. As of December 31, 1996, all real estate owned is classified as held for sale and the Partnership was currently marketing $11,316,000 in real estate owned. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had no unfunded loan commitments to nonaffiliates. The Partnership funded advances on loans to affiliates during 1996 totaling $336,000, received principal payoffs and paydowns on loans from nonaffiliates totaling $7,000 and received principal paydowns on loans from affiliates totaling $141,000. During 1996, the Partnership funded $2,000 of capital expenditures for real estate owned.
The Partnership's notes payable commitments for 1997 consist of interest and non-balloon principal payments due of approximately $58,000. In addition to the note payable commitments, the Partnership's principal capital requirements include: i) property taxes and bonds on real estate owned of approximately $541,000 payable and delinquent in 1997, and ii) selling, general and administrative costs. Property taxes delinquent at December 31, 1996 have been accrued at December 31, 1996. The Partnership can apply for a 5 year redemption plan on a portion of the property taxes due in 1997 to ease liquidity constraints if necessary. These commitments are expected to be paid from existing cash balances and the sale of real estate owned. The Partnership has entered into contracts to sell all of its proposed marina and condominium project in Redwood City and a portion of its 45 acre project in Sacramento and has been negotiating with several other buyers on other projects. All of these potential transactions are subject to numerous contingencies and uncertainties and there is no assurance that any of them will ultimately close escrow. The Partnership expects to be able to sell this real estate owned to meet liquidity needs.
The Partnership is continuously evaluating various alternative strategies for liquidating its real estate assets. These alternative strategies include the potential joint venture and/or build out of certain of the Partnership's properties in order to increase their marketability and maximize the return to the limited partners. In the event the Partnership decides to implement some of these strategies, it may require the reinvestment of proceeds received from the payoff of existing loans and/or the sale of other real estate assets. The decision to invest additional cash in existing assets will only be made if, based on management's best judgment at the time, there is a clear indication that such investment will generate a greater return to the limited partners than any other strategies available to the Partnership. During 1995, the Partnership, through its 50 percent owned corporation LCR Development, Inc., ("LCR") entered into a joint venture agreement with Home Devco, Inc., ("Home Devco"), an affiliated entity, entitled Silverwood Homes ("Silverwood"). For further information see note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective with the third quarter of 1991, the Partnership suspended making any cash distributions to partners, due to a decline in liquidity and the uncertainty of the cash requirements for existing and potential real estate owned. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 1992, the Partnership entered its repayment stage and cash proceeds from mortgage investments are no longer available for reinvestment by the Partnership. Management believes that current and projected liquidity is sufficient to fund operating expenses and to meet the contractual obligations and cash flow operating requirements of the Partnership for 1997. However, the Partnership needs to improve liquidity through the sale of real estate owned in order to allocate funds to improve and to fulfill the operating requirements of the remaining real estate owned by the Partnership on a long-term basis.
Results of Operations
Due to the downturn in the real estate industry in California and its impact on the Partnership's borrowers, the Partnership's loans to nonaffiliates have been converted into real estate owned through foreclosures. As a result, interest income on loans to nonaffiliates, including fees, decreased substantially during 1996, 1995 and 1994. Interest income on loans to nonaffiliates, including fees, decreased to $21,000 in 1996 from $42,000 in 1995 and $96,000 in 1994. Interest income on loans to nonaffiliates decreased in 1996, 1995 and 1994 primarily due to payoffs of existing loans. Interest income on loans to affiliates, including fees was $81,000 for 1996 and $52,000 for 1995 related to the Silverwood joint venture. There was no interest income on loans to affiliates for 1994 due to the fact that there were no loans receivable from unconsolidated investees in 1994.
Loans on "nonaccrual" refers to loans upon which the Partnership is no longer accruing interest. Management's policy is to cease accruing interest on loans when collection of interest and/or principal payments has become doubtful. There were no loans on nonaccrual, other than loans to affiliates, as of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
The real estate owned balance before allowance for possible losses at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $11,316,000, $11,314,000 and $11,284,000, respectively. During 1995 and 1994, the Partnership accounted for foreclosed assets using the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 92-3 ("SOP 92-3"), "Accounting for Foreclosed Assets". SOP 92-3 indicated that foreclosed assets were presumed held for sale and not for the production of income. Accordingly, foreclosed assets held for sale were carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell. The cost of such assets at the time of foreclosure was the fair value of the asset foreclosed. Immediately after foreclosure, a valuation allowance was recognized for estimated costs to sell through a charge to operations. All of the Partnership's real estate owned was presumed held for sale.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 supersedes SOP 92-3 and also requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets less costs to sell. SFAS 121 requires that assets to be disposed of not be depreciated while they are held for disposal. All of the Partnership's real estate owned is presumed held for sale. The adoption of SFAS 121 did not have a significant impact on the Partnership's financial statements.
The following sections entitled Nonaccrual Loans and Other Loans to Affiliates and Real Estate Owned provide a detailed analysis of these assets.
Nonaccrual Loans and Other Loans to Affiliates
Loans on nonaccrual status during the year ended December 31, 1996 are summarized below:
During 1994, the Partnership converted a 50 percent participation in a note secured by a second trust deed into a 50 percent participation in a $2,115,000 unsecured note representing a workout loan due from LCR, an affiliate. This loan and an additional loan funded by Centennial Mortgage Income Fund ("CMIF") reflect the majority of the cost basis of lots contributed to Silverwood. LCR's only source of repayment of this note is proceeds from the sale of the fully developed lots. Management has estimated the proceeds for repayment of this note to be less than the original principal balance of the loan. As a result, the loan has been placed on nonaccrual. The participating principal balance and nonaccrued interest balances at December 31, 1996 are $1,059,000 and $241,000, respectively. As discussed in note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnership has reduced the carrying value of this note by $1,059,000, a portion of its share of losses from this unconsolidated investee.
During 1994 and 1995, LCR evaluated various alternative strategies for liquidating its investment in the 179 lots in Lancaster. During 1994, LCR determined that its best course of action appeared to be the full-scale buildout and sale of single- family homes since the market for finished lots had fallen so significantly. LCR obtained construction financing commitments from CMIF and the Partnership and entered into a joint venture agreement entitled Silverwood with Home Devco to construct and sell single-family homes at the project. The joint venture began constructing a model home complex at the project in June 1995. Construction commenced in September 1995 on Phase 1 at the project. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership holds a 50 percent participation in three notes due from Silverwood consisting of a land development loan, a model home loan and a home construction loan with a combined disbursed balance of $1,301,000. The Partnership's disbursed balance of the $3,265,700 development loan at December 31, 1996 is $771,000. The Partnership had applied $252,000 of cumulative losses from unconsolidated investees against the carrying value of the note as of the same date. The Partnership's disbursed balance of the $490,000 model loan at December 31, 1996 is $245,000. The Partnership's disbursed balance of the $1,034,000 Phase 1 construction loan at December 31, 1996 is $285,000. Sales volumes of new homes in the Lancaster area have continued to decline since 1995 while sales prices have remained relatively flat and construction costs have increased. This has caused a further decline in the value of finished lots and a reduction in the anticipated net proceeds the Partnership expects to realize from the buildout of homes at the project. Additionally, Silverwood closed escrow on only two homes during 1996, far less than originally anticipated. As a result of these factors, LCR recorded a $2,361,000 and $866,000 provision for losses on real estate investments during 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Real Estate Owned
A description of the Partnership's principal real estate owned during the year ended December 31, 1996 follows:
Office Building in San Bernardino, California
The Partnership funded a loan during January 1988 with an original committed amount of $921,000 which was secured by a second trust deed on an office building comprised of 15,984 square feet of rentable space located in San Bernardino, California. The loan was provided as gap financing behind a first deed of trust in the amount of $350,000 to another financial institution. The borrower was unable to payoff the loan at maturity and the Partnership foreclosed on April 20, 1993. The Partnership restructured the note secured by the first trust deed to a more favorable term and rate. The project is 66 percent leased and the property is beginning to generate positive net operating income. The property generated net operating income of $36,000 during 1996. The property is being marketed for sale, however, due to below desirable occupancy levels, it is difficult to attract buyers. The carrying value before allowance for possible losses at December 31, 1996 was $825,000. The Partnership has recorded a $250,000 allowance for losses related to this property as of December 31, 1996. The property is encumbered by a fully amortizing note secured by a first trust deed of $143,000 which matures December 1, 1999.
45 Acres in Sacramento, California
The Partnership funded a loan in 1987 with a committed amount of $4,000,000 secured by a first trust deed on 44.52 acres in Sacramento, California. The loan was provided for the development of offsite improvements. The maturity date was February 1, 1991. The borrower was unable to obtain construction financing and bring interest current. The Partnership accepted a grant deed on the property on March 10, 1992. The property is zoned for multi-family and light industrial use. A portion of the property is adjacent to Highway 99 and has good freeway visibility. The property is listed for sale and during 1995 and 1996 there was a significant increase in activity. The Partnership is in the process of rezoning and subdividing portions of the property to facilitate one escrow on a 6.5 acre portion of the property without freeway visibility. This portion was originally placed in escrow during 1995. However, due to the buyer's inability to obtain financing, the escrow fell through. During the first quarter of 1996, this escrow was reopened. The Partnership is not expecting to realize any material gains or losses related to this potential sale and there is no assurance that the escrow will actually close. At December 31, 1996, the carrying value before allowance for possible losses was $4,128,000. The Partnership has recorded a $584,000 allowance for losses related to this property as of December 31, 1996.
Proposed Marina and Condominiums in Redwood City, California
On April 7, 1989, the Partnership foreclosed on a land loan located in Redwood City, California with an original committed amount of $3,487,000. The purpose of the loan was to acquire the land and provide for the planning of a 122-slip marina plus an office building and restaurant. The original maturity date of October 21, 1986 was extended to March 1, 1987. In March 1987, the borrower filed bankruptcy. The property is included in real estate owned at its carrying value before allowance for possible losses of $5,360,000. Management has obtained an extension on the 404B1 permit for the marina through March 1999. The 404B1 permit enables the owner to build the currently proposed 104-slip boat marina. The Partnership has completed approximately 70 percent of the dredging of the marina site. The property is currently in escrow for a purchase price of $4,000,000 with possible increases if certain conditions are met. Close of escrow is scheduled for December 31, 1997 with extensions to March 31, 1998. However, there is no assurance that this escrow will actually close. The Partnership has recorded a $1,651,000 allowance for losses related to this property as of December 31, 1996.
10.66 Acres in Roseville, California
The Partnership funded a loan in 1990 with an original commitment of $2,779,000 secured by a second deed of trust on 982 acres in Roseville, California. The borrower failed to make the required yearly principal payment to the first and second trust deed holders. The first trust deed holder filed a notice of default for nonpayment. Management negotiated a settlement agreement to accept a 10.66 acre commercial site as payment in full for the $2,779,000 note. This property had a carrying value before allowance for possible losses at December 31, 1996 of $1,003,000, and has no additional debt. This area has seen an increase in residential development during 1995 and 1996 which has increased interest in this property. Management is marketing the property for sale and is currently negotiating with a buyer for a portion of the property. The Partnership has recorded a $60,000 allowance for losses related to this property as of December 31, 1996.
Interest on Interest-Bearing Deposits
Interest on interest-bearing deposits was $21,000 in 1996, $49,000 in 1995 and $38,000 in 1994. The decrease in interest on interest-bearing deposits in 1996 is primarily the result of lower cash balances due to a lack of the sale of real estate owned. The increase in interest on interest-bearing deposits in 1995 is primarily the result of an increase in average cash balances. Interest on interest-bearing deposits represents interest earned on Partnership funds invested, for liquidity, in time certificate and money market deposits.
Income from Operations of Real Estate Owned
Income from operations of real estate owned consists of operating revenues of $127,000 in 1996, $134,000 in 1995 and $243,000 in 1994. The 1996 and 1995 revenues are from the office building in San Bernardino. The 1994 revenues are from the office building in San Bernardino and eight months of revenues from a lube center and car wash in San Marcos.
Provision for Possible Losses
The provision for possible losses was $199,000 in 1995 and $1,268,000 in 1994. There was no provision for possible losses recorded in 1996. The 1995 provision relates to loans receivable from an affiliate secured by timeshare interests and the office building in San Bernardino. The 1994 provision relates to the proposed marina and condominiums in Redwood City offset by a decrease in the provision for 128 lots in Redlands, the lube center and car wash in San Marcos and the office building in San Bernardino.
Management believes that the allowance for possible losses at December 31, 1996 is adequate to absorb the known risks in the Partnership's loan and real estate owned portfolios.
Other Expenses
The Partnership has invested in corporations in which it has less than a majority ownership and accounts for these investments using the equity method. The Partnership's share of losses in these unconsolidated investees was $1,059,000 for 1996, $1,803,000 for 1995 and $408,000 for 1994. The 1996 share of losses consist primarily of provisions for losses on real estate investments recorded by LCR and BKS related to the 179 lots in Lancaster and the 283 acres in Bakersfield and additional costs related to the sale of homes in Lancaster. The 1995 share of losses also consists primarily of provisions for losses on real estate investments related to the 179 lots in Lancaster and the 283 acres in Bakersfield. The Partnership has written off its investment in BKS and its remaining net carrying value of its investment in LCR has been reduced to $1,049,000 as of December 31, 1996.
Operating expenses from operations of real estate owned were $76,000 in 1996, $107,000 in 1995 and $161,000 in 1994. The decrease for 1996 is due to parking lot expenses incurred in 1995 with no similar expense in 1996. The decrease from 1994 to 1995 is due to the decrease in the number of real estate owned properties.
Operating expenses from operations of real estate owned paid to affiliates were $12,000 each for 1996 and 1995 and $14,000 for 1994. The expenses consist of property management fees paid to affiliates of the general partners.
Expenses associated with non-operating real estate owned were $344,000 in 1996, $289,000 in 1995 and $313,000 in 1994. The expenses relate to the proposed marina and condominiums in Redwood City, the 128 single-family lots in Redlands, the 283 acres in Bakersfield, the 179 lots in Lancaster, the 45 acres in Sacramento and the 10.66 acres in Roseville. These expenses include property taxes of $257,000, $244,000 and $305,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase from 1995 to 1996 is due to costs incurred to facilitate the escrows on the proposed marina and condominiums in Redwood City and the 45 acres in Sacramento as well as the negotiations on the 10.66 acres in Roseville. The decrease from 1994 to 1995 is primarily due to a decrease in property tax expenses due to the decrease in real estate owned.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $8,000 in 1996, $11,000 in 1995 and $13,000 in 1994 for the office building in San Bernardino and the multi-tenant industrial buildings in Moreno Valley. The decrease from 1995 to 1996 is due to fully amortized leasing commissions in 1995.
Interest expense was $16,000 for 1996, $20,000 for 1995 and $156,000 for 1994. The interest expense for 1996 and 1995 relates only to the underlying debt on the office building in San Bernardino. The decrease from 1994 to 1995 is the result of the reduction of the debt on the 128 lots in Redlands, the lube center and car wash in San Marcos and the multi-tenant industrial buildings in Moreno Valley.
The loss on sale of real estate owned totaled $64,000 for 1994. There was no comparable expense for 1996 and 1995. The 1994 loss was from the sale of the lube center and car wash in San Marcos.
General and administrative expenses, affiliates increased to $173,000 in 1996 from $123,000 in 1995 and $151,000 in 1994. These expenses are primarily salary allocation reimbursements paid to affiliates for the management of the Partnership's assets. The increase for 1996 is primarily due to a $33,000 change in billing methodology from mortgage investment servicing fees to salary allocations. The decrease for 1995 is due to no extraordinary payment of vacation benefits which had accrued but not vested in prior periods and were paid in 1994 upon replacement of the corporate general partner.
General and administrative expenses, nonaffiliates increased to $78,000 in 1996 from $59,000 in 1995 and $87,000 in 1994. The increase for 1996 is primarily due to increased investor reporting expenses and moving expenses. The decrease for 1995 is due primarily to a decrease in administrative expenses associated with real estate owned.
Mortgage investment servicing fees paid to affiliates were $33,000 in 1995 and $41,000 in 1994. There were no mortgage investment servicing fees paid to affiliates during 1996. These fees consist of amounts paid to CC and CMIF, Inc., for servicing the Partnership's loan portfolio. During 1996, the Partnership no longer incurs mortgage investment servicing fees for servicing the Partnership's real estate owned portfolio. The decreases for 1995 and 1994 are primarily due to the decreases in size of the Partnership's loan portfolio.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Centennial Mortgage Income Fund II (the "Partnership") has historically invested in commercial, industrial and residential income-producing real property through mortgage investments consisting of participating first mortgage loans, other equity participation loans, construction loans, and wrap-around and other junior loans. The Partnership's underwriting policy for granting credit was to fund loans secured by first and second deeds of trust on real property. The Partnership's area of concentration is in California. In the normal course of business, the Partnership participated with other lenders in extending credit to single borrowers. The Partnership did this in an effort to decrease credit concentrations and provide a greater diversification of credit risk.
As of December 31, 1996, most of the loans secured by operating properties have been repaid to the Partnership. However, during recent years, real estate market values for undeveloped land in California have declined severely. As the loans secured by undeveloped land became delinquent, the Partnership elected to foreclose on certain of these loans, thereby increasing real estate owned balances. As a result, the Partnership has become a direct investor in this real estate and intends to manage operating properties and develop raw land until such time as the Partnership is able to sell this real estate owned. The real estate owned balance before allowance for possible losses at December 31, 1994 was $11,284,000, increasing to $11,314,000 at year end 1995 and $11,316,000 at year end 1996.
Beginning with the fourth quarter of 1992, the Partnership entered its repayment stage and cash proceeds from mortgage investments are no longer available for reinvestment in new loans by the Partnership.
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership formed several subsidiaries to own and operate certain of its real estate assets. The corporations formed were
PIR Development, Inc., RSA Development, Inc., CTA Development, Inc., LCR Development, Inc., ("LCR"), and BKS Development, Inc., ("BKS"). Several of the Partnership's assets have been transferred to these new corporations, at the Partnership's cost basis, in transactions which included no cash down and the Partnership carrying 100 percent of the financing. With the exception of LCR and BKS, all of these corporations are wholly owned corporations and have been consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions, including the aforementioned transfer, have been eliminated in consolidation.
As the Partnership's ownership interest in LCR and BKS is more than 20 percent but does not exceed 50 percent, the Partnership accounts for its ownership interest using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, these loans are a component of the Partnership's investment in LCR and BKS, and therefore the Partnership has recorded losses by LCR and BKS as a reduction of the carrying value of these loans receivable (see note 5).
Organization
The Partnership was organized on July 12, 1985 in accordance with the provisions of the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Partnership commenced operations in June 1986. The general partners are John B. Joseph, Ronald R. White and Centennial Corporation ("CC"), a privately-held California corporation whose stock is owned by affiliates of Ronald R. White and John B. Joseph. Centennial Capital, Inc. ("CCI"), a California corporation, wholly-owned by The Centennial Group, Inc. retired as general partner during 1994.
Cash available for distribution, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, is to be distributed 95 percent to the limited partners and 5 percent to the general partners until each limited partner has received an amount equal to a 12 percent non- cumulative annual return on their adjusted invested capital (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). Thereafter, cash available for distribution is to be distributed 90 percent to the limited partners and 10 percent to the general partners. All distributions of mortgage reductions (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) shall be distributed 99 percent to the limited partners and 1 percent to the general partners, until each limited partner has received a 12 percent cumulative annual return on their adjusted invested capital, after which such amounts are to be distributed 85 percent to the limited partners
and 15 percent to the general partners. These amounts may be adjusted subject to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. In order to properly reflect the economic effect of the allocations discussed above, the Partnership has allocated financial statement net earnings and losses 95 percent to the limited partners and 5 percent to the general partners through 1992. Based upon the various terms of the Partnership Agreement, it is improbable that the general partners would be required to make any capital contributions to the Partnership in excess of their negative capital account as of December 31, 1992. Accordingly, since January 1, 1993, the Partnership has allocated 100 percent of the losses to the limited partners.
Real Estate Loans and Allowance for Possible Losses
Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income and the allowance for possible loan losses. Interest accrual is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, its collection is deemed doubtful. The allowance for possible loan losses is established through a provision for possible losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for possible loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of principal is unlikely.
Management believes that the allowance for possible loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.
Impaired Loans
Effective January 1, 1995, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures" ("SFAS 118"). Under SFAS 114, a loan is impaired when it is "probable" that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due (i.e. both principal and interest) according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impairment may be based on (i) the present value of the expected future cash flows of the impaired loan discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, (ii) the observable market price of the impaired loan, or (iii) the fair value of the collateral of a collateral-dependent loan. SFAS 114 does not apply to large groups of smaller balance homogeneous
loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. The adoption of SFAS 114, as amended by SFAS 118, had no material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements as the Partnership's previously existing policy of measuring loan impairment was consistent with methods prescribed in these standards.
The Partnership considers a loan to be impaired when based upon current information and events, it believes it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In determining impairment, the Partnership considers large non- homogeneous loans including nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructuring and performing loans which exhibit, among other characteristics, high loan-to-value ratios, low debt-coverage ratios, or other indications that the borrowers are experiencing increased levels of financial difficulty. The Partnership bases the measurement of collateral-dependent impaired loans on the fair value of the loan's collateral. The amount by which the recorded investment of the loan exceeds the measure of the impaired loan's value is recognized by recording a valuation allowance.
Real Estate Owned
During 1995 and 1994, the Partnership accounted for foreclosed assets using the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 92-3 ("SOP 92-3"), "Accounting for Foreclosed Assets". SOP 92-3 indicated that foreclosed assets were presumed held for sale and not for the production of income. Accordingly, foreclosed assets held for sale were carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell. The cost of such assets at the time of foreclosure was the fair value of the asset foreclosed. Immediately after foreclosure, a valuation allowance was recognized for estimated costs to sell through a charge to income. All of the Partnership's real estate owned, including insubstance foreclosures, was presumed held for sale.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 supersedes SOP 92-3 and also requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets
less costs to sell. SFAS 121 requires that assets to be disposed of not be depreciated while they are held for disposal. The Partnership considered all real estate owned as held for sale during 1996 and is actively marketing all properties. Using third party brokers or in house sales staff, management's intent is to sell all properties within one year.
Loan Fees
Origination fees and direct costs associated with lending are netted and amortized to interest income as an adjustment to yield over the respective lives of the loans using the interest method.
Income Taxes
Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the California Revenue and Taxation Code, partnerships are generally not subject to income taxes. For tax purposes, any income or losses realized are those of the individual partners, not the Partnership. The Partnership reports certain transactions differently for tax and financial statement purposes. The following is a recap of current and cumulative temporary differences for generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and taxable earnings.
The cumulative temporary partnership differences shown above, which total approximately $101.00 per limited partnership unit, should reverse when the Partnership liquidates its investments. There can be no assurance that these losses will be realized as future operations of the Partnership could result in greater or lesser amounts of allocable tax losses to the limited partners. In addition, the deductibility of taxable losses is dependent upon each limited partners' individual tax position. The reversal of these differences should result in future taxable income or loss per limited partnership unit which is less than or greater than the Partnership will report for financial statement purposes. Management believes that the share of losses in unconsolidated investees is a temporary difference since the Partnership holds approximately $2.4 million in notes receivable from these investees, a portion of which could be charged to bad debt expense should these investees liquidate their single property holdings at current carrying values.
In addition, as of December 31, 1996, the Partnership held approximately $12.4 million in loans receivable from the consolidated corporations. These loans have been eliminated in the Partnership's consolidated financial statements. It is anticipated that the temporary differences should reverse on the corporations' returns when the corporations liquidate their investments. If these investments are liquidated at current carrying values, the Partnership should be able to deduct bad debt expense on its tax returns in the approximate amount of the temporary differences shown above which is approximately $258.00 per limited partnership unit.
The subsidiary corporations are subject to taxation and account for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires an asset and liability approach to establishing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the corporation's assets and liabilities. No benefit for net operating losses or cumulative differences related to the corporations has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements due to the improbability of realization. Future consolidated financial statements could reflect income tax expense in the event that these corporations generate profits in excess of operating loss carryforwards available. Some of the subsidiary corporations are cash basis taxpayers.
Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and interest-bearing deposits with original maturities of three months or less.
Short-term Investments
Short-term investments include certificates of deposits with original maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year.
Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit
Net loss per limited partnership unit for financial statement purposes was based on 29,141 weighted average limited partnership units outstanding in 1996, 1995 and 1994.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management 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 amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Depreciation and Amortization
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 121 on January 1, 1996, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets was charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets; 3 years for equipment and 31.5 years for buildings, or, in the case of tenant improvements, over the terms of the leases if shorter than the estimated useful lives.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from rental income on real estate owned is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease when payments become due under operating leases. In 1994, the Partnership recognized losses on the sale of real estate owned. In 1995 and 1996, there were no sales of real estate owned.
(2) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107 "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 107"), requires that the Partnership disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments as well as the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair values. The following information does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the Partnership.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnership in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount, which is cost, is assumed to be the fair value because of the liquidity of these instruments.
Short-term Investments
The carrying amount is estimated to be fair value because the funds were invested at current market rates within one month of the balance sheet date.
Real Estate Loans Receivable from Unconsolidated Investees - Earning and Nonearning
The net carrying value of earning loans from unconsolidated investees is estimated to be fair value. These loans reprice at market rate each time the reference rate is adjusted.
Note Payable
The carrying value of the fixed rate note payable is estimated to be the fair value using current market rates.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities, Payable to Affiliates and Interest and Property Taxes Payable
Carrying value is considered to be equal to the fair value of these liabilities as they are due on demand.
(3) Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
At December 31, 1996, the carrying value of loans that are considered to be impaired under SFAS 114 totaled $1,049,000 (all of which were on nonaccrual status). At December 31 1996, there
was no allowance for possible loan losses determined in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 114, related to loans considered to be impaired under SFAS 114, recorded by the Partnership. However, as discussed in note 5, the unconsolidated investees have recorded an allowance for losses of $3,140,000 and the Partnership's proportionate share of the losses in unconsolidated investees reflects this allowance. There was a $336,000 investment in impaired loans for the year ended December 31, 1996. There was no investment in impaired loans for the year ended December 31, 1995. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership recognized $81,000 in interest income on these impaired loans. There was no interest income recognized on these impaired loans for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. No cash basis income was recognized on these impaired loans for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
If the loans on nonaccrual had been current throughout their terms, interest income would have increased by approximately $96,000, $379,000 and $211,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(4) Allowance for Possible Losses on Real Estate Owned
(5) Transactions with Affiliates
Under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, CC and CMIF, Inc., an affiliate of the general partners, are entitled to receive from the Partnership mortgage investment servicing fees for loans serviced equal to an annual rate of 1/4 of 1 percent of the committed amounts to be funded by the Partnership. Under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership incurred $8,000 of mortgage investment servicing fees payable to CMIF, Inc. in 1994 and paid $12,000 of such fees in 1994. The Partnership incurred $33,000 of mortgage investment servicing fees payable to CC in 1995 and 1994 and paid $3,000, $30,000 and $27,000 were paid in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. No mortgage investment servicing fees were incurred during 1996.
Under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the general partners are to receive compensation for their services in supervising the affairs of the Partnership. This partnership management compensation shall be equal to 10 percent of the cash available for distribution, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The general partners will not receive this compensation until the limited partners have received a 12 percent per annum cumulative return on their adjusted invested capital; however, the general partners are entitled to receive a minimum 5 percent interest in cash available for distribution in any year until this return has been met. Adjusted invested capital is defined as the original capital invested less distributions from mortgage reductions. Under this provision, payments to the general partners have been limited to 5 percent of cash available for distribution as the limited partners have not received their 12 percent per annum cumulative return. Under this provision of the Partnership Agreement, no distributions were paid to the general partners during 1996, 1995 or 1994.
As discussed below, the Partnership owns 50 percent of the stock of two corporations which have not been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements; LCR and BKS. The balance of stock in these corporations is owned by Centennial Mortgage Income Fund ("CMIF"), an affiliate. LCR has invested in a joint venture, Silverwood Homes ("Silverwood") which is constructing homes. The Partnership has participated in making several loans to these corporations and this joint venture. Under the equity method of accounting, these loans are a component of the Partnership's investment in LCR and BKS, and therefore the Partnership has recorded losses by LCR and BKS as a reduction of the carrying value of these loans receivable. The Partnership
wrote off its investment in and loan receivable from BKS during 1996 when its share of losses equaled its investment and the recovery of any of its investment became unlikely.
A summary of these real estate loans receivable from unconsolidated investees as of December 31, 1996 is as follows:
A summary of these real estate loans receivable from unconsolidated investees as of December 31, 1995 is as follows:
In February 1994, the Partnership assigned its 50 percent interest in a construction loan secured by a second trust deed, which was participated with CMIF, to LCR in order to facilitate LCR's foreclosure of 179 lots in Lancaster, California. In anticipation of this foreclosure, LCR purchased the underlying note secured by a first trust deed on the property with funds
provided by CMIF. CMIF also assigned its 50 percent interest in the construction loan secured by a second trust deed to LCR. In exchange for the assignment of the note secured by a second trust deed, the Partnership received a 50 percent interest in an unsecured note due from LCR with a principal balance of $2,115,000 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Partnership has not accrued its share of interest on this note which was approximately $241,000 and $176,000 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
LCR has entered into a joint venture agreement entitled Silverwood with Home Devco, ("Home Devco"), an affiliate of the general partners of the Partnership, to construct and sell single- family homes at the project. LCR has contributed the 179 lots to the joint venture as its initial capital contribution. As LCR has a 99.99 percent ownership interest in the joint venture, Silverwood has been consolidated with LCR and the contribution of these lots to the joint venture has no effect on the financial position of LCR.
The consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations of LCR have not been consolidated in the Partnership's financial statements. The Partnership accounts for its investment in this corporation using the equity method. The following represents condensed financial information for LCR at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994:
LCR Development, Inc. Consolidated Balance Sheets
LCR Development, Inc. Consolidated Statement of Operations
Although the Partnership owns a 50 percent interest in LCR, it holds less than 50 percent of LCR's debt. Since CMIF has made a $1,250,000 unsecured loan to LCR, CMIF was allocated losses to the extent of the unsecured loan and remaining losses were allocated 50 percent to CMIF and 50 percent to the Partnership during 1996.
As discussed above, the Partnership holds 50 percent of the stock of BKS with CMIF. In 1994, the Partnership and CMIF assigned to BKS their 50 percent interest in a note receivable secured by a first trust deed on a 283 acre residential tract in Bakersfield, California. BKS foreclosed on this property on August 8, 1994. In exchange for their assignments, the Partnership and CMIF each received a 50 percent interest in a new note from BKS secured by a first trust deed on the property. The Partnership ceased accruing interest on this new note on January 1, 1995. Bonds and taxes accrued on the property increased from $1,605,000 at December 31, 1995 to $2,085,000 at December 31, 1996 and the bond holders have commenced foreclosure proceedings on the property. Management has elected to abandon the property due to the fact that land values have not increased. The balance of bonds and unpaid property taxes are now approximately equal to the value of the property. Bonds, property taxes and note payable to affiliates are nonrecourse liabilities and, therefore, the Partnership and BKS have no contingent liability in excess of the property. The Partnership has no future obligation nor risk of additional losses related to this investee. Therefore, during 1996, the Partnership recorded its share of losses in connection with BKS ($343,000) which results in the Partnerships's investment in BKS, including loans, having a zero balance.
The balance sheet and statements of operations of BKS have not been consolidated in the Partnership's financial statements. The Partnership accounted for its investment in this corporation using the equity method. The following represents condensed financial information for BKS at December 31, 1995 and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994:
BKS Development, Inc. Balance Sheet
BKS Development, Inc. Statements of Operations
At the time of the foreclosures by LCR and BKS discussed above, the Partnership had accounted for its interests in the notes secured by a second trust deed and first trust deed as having been insubstance foreclosed. A summary of the effects of the foreclosures on the Partnership's balance sheet during 1994 is as follows:
The Partnership reimburses the general partner and its affiliates for expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership for services such as salaries, legal, accounting, property management and other services. The general partners and affiliates of the general partners charged $185,000, $135,000 and $165,000 for such services in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership maintained interest- bearing deposits with Sunwest Bank, an affiliate of the general partners. The balances at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $5,000, $170,000 and $54,000, respectively. Interest earned on such deposits for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $5,000, $3,000 and $1,000, respectively.
At December 31, 1996, the properties held for sale are presented net of accumulated depreciation as required by SFAS 121.
In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership carries real estate owned, held for sale, at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The estimated fair values were determined by using appraisals, discounted cash flows and/or other valuation techniques. The actual market price of real estate can only be determined by negotiation between independent third parties in a sales transaction and sales proceeds could differ substantially from estimated fair values.
The Partnership leases its operating property under several non- cancelable operating lease agreements. Future minimum rents to be received as of December 31, 1996 are as follows:
