Item 1. Business.
The Registrant, Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership ("ORP" or the "Partnership"), was formed on January 19, 1984, under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act to acquire, own and operate residential properties. The Partnership sold $25,714,000 of Assignee Units in a public offering that concluded on October 18, 1985. The net offering proceeds were used to acquire residential properties.
The objectives of the Partnership's acquisitions of residential properties are to:
(1) preserve and protect the Partnership's capital;
(2) provide capital appreciation through increases in the value of the residential properties and eventual cash distributions to Investors from the sale or refinancing of the residential properties. The Partnership intends primarily to hold the residential properties for appreciation in value. Depending upon financial conditions, the Partnership will sell the residential properties after a period of time;
(3) provide cash distributions from rental operations on a current basis. Cash from Partnership operations will be distributed to Investors in semiannual payments; and
(4) obtain income tax deductions to shelter all or a portion of cash distributions to Investors during the early years after the Partnership's funds have been fully invested. To the extent that tax deductions in the early years exceed funds available for distribution, such deductions may shelter taxable income from other sources, subject to limitations imposed by the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
The Partnership's residential property investments are subject to competition from similar types of properties in the vicinities in which they are located.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Report of Management - -----------------------------------------------------------------
The following report provides additional information about the consolidated financial condition of Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership ("ORP" or the "Partnership") as of December 31, 1996, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. This report and analysis should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the selected consolidated financial data appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Recent Developments
On May 25, 1995, an affiliate of ORP and its managing general partner, Oxford Residential Properties I Corporation ("Managing General Partner"), completed a tender offer ("Affiliate Tender") in which the affiliate acquired 4,997 assignee units of limited partnership of ORP ("Assignee Units") at a price of $332 per Assignee Unit. Subsequent to the termination of the Affiliate Tender, ORP determined that additional Assignee Unit Holders were interested in selling their Assignee Units for the same price offered in the Affiliate Tender. On June 20, 1995, ORP advised its Assignee Unit Holders that it would purchase on a "first come, first served" basis at any time on or before September 11, 1995, unless sooner terminated, all Assignee Units up to an aggregate of 600 Assignee Units at a price of $332 per Assignee Unit, net to the seller in cash without interest ("Issuer Tender"). The Issuer Tender has been extended to December 31, 1997 with respect to the purchase of up to 600 additional Assignee Units. Since July 1995, ORP has purchased, in the aggregate, 1,057 Assignee Units.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current Position. At December 31, 1996, ORP held $1,560,000 in cash and cash equivalents and the working capital reserve, compared to $1,765,000 at December 31, 1995. The decrease of $205,000 is primarily attributable to increases in property net operating incomes offset by: (i) the distributions made on February 29, 1996 and August 29, 1996 to Partners of record as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996 totaling $189,000 and $187,000, respectively, (ii) the purchase of Assignee Units during the year ended December 31, 1996 totaling $156,000, and (iii) the payment of administrative costs for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaling $142,000.
Other Assets shown on the accompanying consolidated Balance Sheet increased by $58,000 to $973,000 at December 31, 1996 from $915,000 at December 31, 1995. The increase in Other Assets is primarily a result of an increase in other receivables and escrows. Other Assets include primarily a Liquidity Reserve Subaccount (for debt service), a Recurring Replacement Reserve Subaccount (for property improvements), a Property Insurance Escrow, and a Property Tax Escrow for each of the Operating
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Report of Management - -----------------------------------------------------------------
Partnerships totaling $810,000. These Subaccounts are funded and maintained monthly, as needed, from property income (except security deposits), in accordance with the requirements pursuant to each property's loan agreement and based on expenditures anticipated in the following months. Accounts Receivable and Prepaid Expenses totaling $89,000 and $74,000, respectively, are also included in Other Assets.
Unamortized deferred costs related to organization and refinancing costs (discussed in prior reports) at December 31, 1996 were $522,000, compared to $620,000 at December 31, 1995. These costs are being amortized over the term of the mortgages.
Property Operations. ORP's future liquidity and level of cash distributions are dependent upon the net operating income after debt service, refurbishment expenses, and capitalized improvements generated by ORP's four investment properties and proceeds from any sale or refinancing of those properties. To the extent any individual property does not generate sufficient cash to cover its operating needs, including debt service, deficits would be funded by cash generated from the other investment properties, if any, working capital reserves, if any, or borrowings by ORP. Property improvements in the aggregate amount of $1,046,000 were made for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $857,000 for the same period in 1995. Of the $1,046,000 of property improvements, $740,000 was capitalized for financial statement purposes for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $602,000 of the $857,000 of property improvements for the same period in 1995.
Other Sources. Since 1994, 40% of the property management fees owed to NHP Management Company ("NHP") have been subordinated to the receipt by the Assignee Unit Holders of certain returns. As of December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, deferred property management fees to NHP amounted to $411,000 and $268,000, respectively, and are reflected as Due to Affiliates in the financial statements.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Report of Management - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations
The net operating income, before debt service, refurbishment expenses, and capitalized property improvements, reported by each of the four investment properties for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, is as follows:
In the aggregate, the net operating income, before debt service, refurbishment expenses, and capitalized property improvements, reported by the Partnership in 1996 increased by 4.6% compared to 1995. Set forth below is a discussion of the properties which compares their respective operations for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
1996 vs. 1995
Fairlane East
Fairlane East's net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by 1.9% from the same period in 1995 due to a 3.1% increase in revenues and a 4.8% increase in apartment expenses. The increase in apartment expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in maintenance, operating, administrative, and marketing expenses. Average occupancy for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased to 98% from 99% in 1995. During 1996, the Partnership expended $343,000 on property improvements, including $270,000 capitalized for accounting purposes.
The Landings
The Landings' net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by 8.4% from the same period in 1995 due to a 4.1% increase in revenues and less than 1% increase in apartment expenses. The Indianapolis rental housing market remained strong for most of 1996. The outlook of the local economy continues to be generally favorable, although the rental market has began to show some softness. Average occupancy in 1996 and 1995 was 94%. During 1996, the Partnership expended $133,000 on property improvements, including $87,000 capitalized for accounting purposes.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Report of Management - -----------------------------------------------------------------
Raven Hill
Raven Hill's net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by 5.6% from the same period in 1995 due to a 5% increase in revenues and a 4.6% increase in apartment expenses. The increase in apartment expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in maintenance and operating expenses and property taxes, offset by a decrease in administrative expenses. Average occupancy for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased to 93% from 95% in 1995. The Partnership expended $482,000 for property improvements during 1996, including $338,000 capitalized for accounting purposes.
Shadow Oaks
Shadow Oaks' net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by 8% from the same period in 1995 due to a 5.5% increase in revenues and a 3.6% increase in apartment expenses. The increase in apartment expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in maintenance and operating expenses, offset by a decrease in administrative expenses and property taxes. The oversupply of housing in the area's submarket continues to impact the Shadow Oaks community. Average occupancy in 1996 and 1995 was 92%. During 1996, the Partnership expended $88,000 on property improvements, including $45,000 capitalized for accounting purposes.
1995 vs. 1994
Fairlane East
Fairlane East's net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased by 10.3% from the same period in 1994 due to a 3.6% increase in revenues and a 5.2% decrease in apartment expenses. The increase in revenues was attributed to a stronger economy in the Dearborn, Michigan area due to commercial development. The decrease in apartment expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in maintenance, administrative and marketing expenses and property taxes. Average occupancy for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased to 99% from 96% in 1994. The competitive services and rental rates, along with impressive curb appeal, were contributing factors to the improvement in occupancy. During 1995, the Partnership expended $422,000 on property improvements, including $348,000 capitalized for accounting purposes.
The Landings
The Landings' net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1995 decreased by 11% from the same period in 1994 due to a 1.2% increase in revenues and a 14.9% increase in apartment
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Report of Management - -----------------------------------------------------------------
expenses. The increase in apartment expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in property taxes and maintenance and operating expenses. The property taxes in 1994 included a refund for approximately $13,000 due to a successful appeal of the prior year's taxes. Average occupancy for the year ended December 31, 1995 decreased to 94% from 96% in 1994. During 1995, the Partnership expended $111,000 on property improvements, including $73,000 capitalized for accounting purposes.
Raven Hill
Raven Hill's net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased by 21.3% from the same period in 1994 due to an 8.8% increase in revenues and a 1% increase in apartment expenses. The slight increase in apartment expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in maintenance expenses. Average occupancy in 1995 and 1994 was 95%. The Partnership expended $238,000 for property improvements during 1995, including $126,000 capitalized for accounting purposes.
Shadow Oaks
Shadow Oaks' net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1995 decreased by 9.6% from the same period in 1994 due to a 1.3% decrease in revenues and a 6.5% increase in apartment expenses. The increase in apartment expenses was attributable to an increase in maintenance, operating and administrative expenses. The oversupply of housing in the area's submarket continued to impact the Shadow Oaks community. The average occupancy in 1995 decreased by one percentage point to 92%, compared to 93% in 1994. Management believed the decrease in occupancy rates during 1995 was the result of increased home buying in the Tampa area. During 1995, the Partnership expended $86,000 on property improvements, including $55,000 capitalized for accounting purposes.
1994 vs. 1993
Fairlane East
Fairlane East's net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1994 decreased by 2.8% from the same period in 1993 due to a 3% increase in revenues and an 11.8% increase in apartment expenses. The increase in revenues was attributed to a stronger economy in the Dearborn, Michigan area due to new commercial development. In the Detroit metropolitan area, population growth and unemployment rates improved during 1994. The increase in apartment expenses was attributable to an increase in property taxes and maintenance expenses. The competitive services and rental rates, along with impressive curb appeal, were contributing factors to the improvement in occupancy. Average occupancy in 1994 increased to 96% from 95% in 1993. During 1994, the Partnership expended $343,000 on property improvements, including $283,000 capitalized for
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Report of Management - -----------------------------------------------------------------
accounting purposes. Of the $343,000 in improvements, the temporary Engineering/Capital Replacement Reserve Subaccount established at the closing of the refinancing totaling $168,000 was used in full to pay for required property improvements made in 1994. The remaining cost of property improvements totaling $175,000 was paid from the operations of the property in 1994.
The Landings
The Landings' net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased by 17.4% from the same period in 1993 due to a 3.2% increase in revenues and a 9.1% decrease in apartment expenses. The decrease in apartment expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in property taxes and maintenance and operating expenses. Average occupancy in 1994 and 1993 was 96%. The Indianapolis rental housing market remained strong in 1994, as compared to the previous three years. Indianapolis experienced solid population and employment growth during 1994. During 1994, the Partnership expended $154,000 on property improvements, including $105,000 capitalized for accounting purposes. Of the $154,000 in improvements, the temporary Engineering/Capital Replacement Reserve subaccount established at the closing of the refinancing totaling $48,000, was used in full to pay for required property improvements made in 1994. The remaining cost of property improvements totaling $107,000, was paid from the operations of the property in 1994.
Raven Hill
Raven Hill's net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1994 decreased by 7.7% from the same period in 1993 due to a 2.3% increase in revenues and a 9.7% increase in apartment expenses. The increase in apartment expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in property taxes and maintenance and administrative expenses. Occupancy in 1994 increased to 95% from 92% in 1993. The Partnership expended $539,000 for property improvements during 1994, including $350,000 that was capitalized for accounting purposes. Of the $539,000 in improvements, the temporary Engineering/Capital Replacement Reserve Subaccount established at the closing of the refinancing totaling $198,000 was used in full to pay for required property improvements made in 1994. The remaining cost of property improvements totaling $340,000, was paid from the operations of the property in 1994.
Shadow Oaks
Shadow Oaks' net operating income for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased by 7.8% from the same period in 1993 due to a 4.3% increase in revenues and an 1.1% increase in apartment expenses. The oversupply of housing in the area's submarket continued to impact the Shadow Oaks community. The average occupancy in 1994 decreased by 2 percentage points to 93%, compared to 95% in 1993. Occupancy rates decreased from 96% for
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Report of Management - -----------------------------------------------------------------
the quarter ended March 31, 1994 to 87% for the quarter ended December 31, 1994. Management believed that the decrease in occupancy rates during 1994 was the result of increased home buying in the Tampa area. The Shadow Oaks property continued its resident retention program in 1994 in an effort to remain competitive in the market. During 1994, the Partnership expended $70,000 on property improvements, including $37,000 that was capitalized for accounting purposes. A temporary Engineering/ Capital Replacement Reserve Subaccount was established at closing for all properties except Shadow Oaks to pay for necessary capital improvements identified during the lender's due diligence review of the property.
Consolidated Statements of Operations-Other Income and Deductions
Other income was $312,000, $228,000 and $219,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest earned on certain escrow accounts.
The terms of the mortgage loans require the borrowers to make equal installment payments over the term of the loans. Each payment consists of interest on the unpaid balance of the loans and a reduction of loan principal. The interest paid on these loans decreases each period, while the portion applied to the loan principal increases each period. As a result, interest expense was $1,786,000, $1,812,000 and $1,929,000, respectively, and principal incurred was $330,000, $304,000 and $187,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $1,133,000, $1,097,000 and $1,053,000, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $98,000 and 1994 was $100,000. Depreciation expense increased due to the addition of capitalized property improvements during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, of the total property improvements in the aggregate amount of $1,046,000, $857,000 and $1,106,000, respectively, $306,000, $255,000 and $332,000, respectively, were classified as refurbishment expenses for financial statement purposes. The remaining balances of $740,000, $602,000 and $775,000, respectively, were capitalized for financial statement purposes.
Interest income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $78,000, $101,000 and $84,000, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents during 1996, as compared to 1995.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Report of Management - -----------------------------------------------------------------
ORP's administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $184,000, $209,000 and $150,000, respectively.
In the aggregate, the net income, after debt service, refurbishment expenses, and other deductions, reported by ORP for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by $378,000, or 205.4%, from a $184,000 loss at December 31, 1995, to a $194,000 profit at December 31, 1996. The increase is primarily attributed to a reduction of $277,000 in fees and expenses incurred in 1995 in connection with securities filings and related communications with its partners required by ORP in response to certain tender offers and in defense and settlement of a lawsuit initiated by a partner (discussed in prior reports).
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Report of Independent Accountants - -----------------------------------------------------------------
To the Partners and Assignee Unit Holders of Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's Managing General Partner. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -----------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1. Partnership Organization
Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership ("ORP" or the "Partnership") was formed under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on January 19, 1984, to acquire, own and operate residential properties. The Partnership began operations in September 1984 and will continue until December 31, 2027, unless terminated earlier under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.
The General Partners of the Partnership are Oxford Residential Properties I Corporation and Oxford Fund I Limited Partnership. Oxford Residential Properties I Corporation serves as the Managing General Partner, and Oxford Fund I Limited Partnership serves as Associate General Partner. ORP I Assignor Corporation, the Assignor Limited Partner, has assigned the ownership of its limited partnership interests (including ORP I Assignor Corporation's rights to a percentage of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and distributions of the Partnership) to the purchasers of Assignee Units on the basis of one unit of limited partnership interest for one Assignee Unit. The General Partners and the Assignor Limited Partner are affiliated through common ownership. The Partnership's net profit or loss is allocated to the Assignee Unit Holders and partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.
The Partnership sold $25,714,000 in Assignee Unit interests in a public offering that concluded in October 1985. There is currently no established public market in which the Assignee Units are traded. On June 20, 1995, ORP advised Assignee Unit Holders that it would purchase on a "first come, first served" basis at any time on or before September 11, 1995, unless sooner terminated, all Assignee Units up to an aggregate of 600 Assignee Units at a price of $332 per Assignee Unit net to the seller in cash without interest ("Issuer Tender"). The Issuer Tender has been extended to December 31, 1997 with respect to the purchase of up to 600 additional Assignee Units. Since July 1995, ORP has purchased, in the aggregate, 1,057 Assignee Units.
Effective January 12, 1994, the Partnership completed the refinancing of all debt collateralized by three of its properties, as well as the placement of a new loan collateralized by the fourth property. To use this financing program, the Partnership was required to modify its ownership structure in certain respects. Accordingly, the Partnership transferred its ownership interests in the properties to four new entities: (i) ORP One L.L.C. (Fairlane East), (ii) ORP Two L.L.C. (The Landings), (iii) ORP Three L.L.C. (Raven Hill), and (iv) ORP Four Limited Partnership (Shadow Oaks). In the case of Shadow Oaks, a limited partnership was used because, under applicable Florida law, limited liability companies are taxed as corporations rather than partnerships. The Partnership effectively holds all of the ownership interests of each of these entities. The Partnership holds a direct 99% interest in each new entity, and the remaining
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -----------------------------------------------------------------
1% interest is held by one of four new corporations: (i) ORP Corporation I; (ii) ORP Corporation II; (iii) ORP Corporation III; and (iv) ORP Corporation IV. The Partnership owns all of the stock of these new corporations.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Method of accounting. The Partnership's consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Investment Properties. Investment properties are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and allowance for unrecoverable amounts pertaining to permanent declines in property values.
Depreciation and amortization. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation of buildings and improvements is calculated based upon cost less the estimated salvage value on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the property of 25 years. Personal property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years. For income tax reporting purposes, depreciation of buildings, improvements, and personal property is calculated using the accelerated cost recovery methods, as provided in Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Deferred costs. Deferred costs reflect financing fees which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective loan agreements for both financial and income tax reporting purposes.
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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income taxes. No provision has been made for federal, state, or local income taxes in the financial statements of the Partnership, since the partners and the Assignee Unit Holders are required to report on their individual tax returns their allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits of the Partnership. The Partnership's tax return is prepared on the accrual basis.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -----------------------------------------------------------------
Net loss and distributions per Assignee Unit. Net loss and distributions per Assignee Unit are based on the weighted average number of units outstanding during the year.
For financial reporting purposes, the net income (loss) per assignee unit of limited partnership of ORP ("Assignee Unit") has been calculated by dividing the portion of the Partnership's net income (loss) allocable to Assignee Unit Holders (98%) by the weighted average of Assignee Units outstanding. In all computations of earnings per Assignee Unit, the weighted average of Assignee Units outstanding during the period constitutes the basis for the net income (loss) amounts per Assignee Unit on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Statements of cash flows. Since the consolidated statements of cash flows are intended to reflect only cash receipts and cash payment activity, the statements do not reflect investing and financing activity that affect recognized assets or liabilities that do not result in cash receipts or cash payments. This noncash activity consists of distributions payable of $185,000, $189,000 and $129,000 at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Interest on mortgage loans paid in 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $1,789,000, $1,814,000 and $1,763,000, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of all demand deposits and government money market funds stated at cost, which approximates market value, with original maturities of three months or less.
Note 3. Working Capital Reserve
Working Capital Reserve. The Partnership established an initial working capital reserve in the amount of $1,286,000 in 1985 from net offering proceeds received in excess of investment properties acquired. Funds in the reserve, which are invested in United States Treasury Bills, are stated at cost, which approximates market value. The Partnership Agreement permits additions to the reserve of such amounts derived from the operations of residential properties as deemed advisable by the Managing General Partner. All funds held in the working capital reserve will be available to fund renovations and repairs, operating deficits, and other contingencies of the residential properties. Funds held in the working capital reserve also can be used to supplement distributions to the Assignee Unit Holders. The balance at December 31, 1996 was $454,000.

Information regarding the four investment properties is listed below. - ----------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -----------------------------------------------------------------
Note 5. Net Profits, Losses and Cash Distributions
Cash flow, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, will be distributed within 60 days after June 30 and December 31, 90% to the Assignee Unit Holders and 10% to the General Partners and the Assignor Limited Partner. The first cash distribution year was for the period August 1, 1985 through July 31, 1986, in which the Assignee Unit Holders were entitled to a noncumulative, preferred 5% return. During the second cash distribution year and thereafter, the Assignee Unit Holders are entitled to a noncumulative, preferred 6% return. To the extent that these preferences are not achieved from current operations, 40% of the property management fees and the General Partners' and the Assignor Limited Partner's 10% share in cash flow will be deferred. Deferred property management fees are to be paid without interest in the next year in which excess cash flow is available after distribution to the Assignee Unit Holders of their preferred 6% return or out of sale or refinancing proceeds.
Profits and losses for financial statement and tax purposes arising from Partnership operations are allocated 98% to the Assignee Unit Holders and 2% to the General Partners and the Assignor Limited Partner.
All sale or refinancing proceeds, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, will be distributed as follows:
(1) to the Assignee Unit Holders to repay their adjusted capital contributions; (2) to the General Partners and Assignor Limited Partner to repay their adjusted capital contributions; (3) to the Assignee Unit Holders until payment of the preferred return on disposition (that is, an amount equal to 10% of the adjusted capital contributions multiplied by the number of calendar years from and including 1986) is achieved; (4) to the General Partners and Assignor Limited Partner in an amount equal to any portion of their cash flow from operations which was previously deferred and not paid in subsequent years; (5) to pay property disposition fees to Oxford National Properties Corporation; and (6) to pay any remaining amount 85% to the Assignee Unit Holders and 15% to the General Partners and Assignor Limited Partner.
Sale or refinance proceeds have been defined to be all cash receipts arising from such transaction less expenses of the transaction, the repayment of all related debt, including the mortgage loan, the payments of any previously subordinated property management fees, and the payments to fund reserves.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -----------------------------------------------------------------
All liquidation proceeds shall be first distributed to each Assignee Unit Holder and Partner, in an amount equal to the positive balance in his capital account and, thereafter, in the amounts and order of priority established above for sale or refinancing proceeds.
The profits for tax purposes resulting from the sale of an investment property which does not constitute the sale of substantially all of the Partnership's assets will be allocated among the Assignee Unit Holders, General Partners, and the Assignor Limited Partner in a proportion equal to the distributions received from the proceeds of such sale. Any profits in excess of the cash distribution will be allocated 98% to the Assignee Unit Holders and 2% to the General Partners and the Assignor Limited Partner. A loss from such a sale will be allocated 98% to the Assignee Unit Holders and 2% to the General Partners and Assignor Limited Partner.
The profits for tax purposes from the sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets will be allocated as follows:
(1) the portion of the profits attributable to the excess of the indebtedness of the investment property prior to its sale over the Partnership's adjusted basis in such property will be allocated to each Assignee Unit Holder having a negative capital account balance, to the extent of such negative balance, in the proportion that the negative balance of each Assignee Unit Holder's capital account bears to the aggregate negative balances of all the Assignee Unit Holders; and
(2) the remainder will be allocated among the Partners and Assignee Unit Holders in proportion to the amount of sale or refinancing proceeds which was distributed to them in connection with the sale of the investment property or liquidation of the Partnership.
Losses for tax purposes from the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership or the liquidation of the Partnership will be allocated as follows:
(1) losses equal to the amount by which the capital accounts of the Assignee Unit Holders and Partners exceed the total adjusted capital contributions will be allocated based on the ratio of each Assignee Unit Holder's and Partner's capital account excess balance to the total excess balance;
(2) losses will be allocated among the Assignee Unit Holders and Partners with positive capital accounts equal to the ratio of each Assignee Unit Holder's and Partner's positive capital account to the total positive capital accounts; and
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -----------------------------------------------------------------
(3) any remaining losses will be allocated 98% to Assignee Unit Holders and 2% to the General Partners and the Assignor Limited Partner.
Note 6. Mortgage Notes Payable
Effective January 12, 1994, separate mortgage loans were made to each of the four new ownership entities (as discussed in prior reports) in the aggregate original principal amount of $22,362,000. These mortgage loans are not cross-collateralized, nor are they cross-defaulted. Each note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.25% per annum and matures on February 11, 2004. The total monthly principal and interest payment is $176,000. As of December 31, 1996, the total outstanding balance of the four mortgage notes payable was $21,501,000. The properties are in compliance with their respective loan agreements as of December 31, 1996.
The individual outstanding mortgage notes payable as of December 31, 1996 and monthly debt service are as follows:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -----------------------------------------------------------------
The mortgage notes require the establishment and maintenance of escrow subaccounts for each property. These subaccounts are the Basic Carrying Costs Subaccount, the Debt Service Payment Subaccount, the Recurring Replacement Reserve Subaccount, the Operations and Maintenance Expense Subaccount, the Liquidity Reserve Subaccount, and the Curtailment Reserve Subaccount. The Basic Carrying Costs Subaccount and Liquidity Reserve Subaccount were initially funded in full out of loan proceeds for all properties at the mortgage closing. A temporary Engineering/Capital Replacement Reserve Subaccount was also established at closing for all properties, except Shadow Oaks, to pay for necessary capital improvements identified during the lender's due diligence review of the properties. The permanent subaccounts, except the Operations and Maintenance Expense Subaccount and the Curtailment Reserve Subaccount, will hereafter be directly funded and maintained monthly, as needed, from property income (except security deposits), in accordance with formulas established in the loan agreement and based on expenditures required in the following month. The Operations and Maintenance Expense Subaccount and the Curtailment Reserve Subaccount would be established if the borrowers have not provided a written commitment for the refinancing of the existing loans on or before six months prior to the maturity dates of the existing loans. The subaccounts will be funded monthly in the order listed above, except for certain changes that may occur in the year prior to maturity of the respective loans. Excess income from each property will be distributed to the applicable borrower after all subaccounts that must be funded at that time have been fully funded in the given month, according to the terms of the Loan Agreement. As of December 31, 1996, the escrow subaccounts total $810,000 and are included in Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The mortgage notes prohibit secondary financing unless specifically approved by the lender or specified in the loan documents. In addition, the mortgage notes prohibit prepayment before five years and impose a prepayment penalty equal to the greater of 1% or the Yield Maintenance Premium (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for prepayments during the sixth and seventh years. After the seventh year, prepayment is allowed with no prepayment penalty.
In general, the loans are nonrecourse. ORP One L.L.C. and ORP Corporation I, ORP Two L.L.C. and ORP Corporation II, ORP Three L.L.C. and ORP Corporation III, and ORP Four Limited Partnership and ORP Corporation IV have guaranteed payment of all clean-up costs if environmental contamination is subsequently discovered on their respective properties.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -----------------------------------------------------------------
Note 7. Transactions with Affiliates
The Partnership has no directors or officers. The Managing General Partner and its affiliates do not receive any direct compensation, but receive fees and are reimbursed by ORP for any actual direct costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Partnership.
Expense reimbursements are for affiliates' personnel costs, travel expenses and interest on interim working capital advances for activities directly related to the Partnership which were not covered separately by fees. Total reimbursements to the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $56,000, $65,000 and $58,000, respectively, for administrative and accounting related costs.
Under the Property Management Agreements with NHP, Inc. and certain of its affiliates ("NHP"), the management fee is equal to 5% of gross collections for all properties; however, 40% of this fee is subordinated until certain distribution preference levels to the Limited Partners or Assignee Unit Holders are achieved. Property management fees of $143,000, $137,000 and $131,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, have been deferred and are included in due to affiliates in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. NHP also has a separate services agreement with Oxford Realty Financial Group, Inc. ("ORFG"), pursuant to which ORFG provides certain services to NHP in exchange for service fees in an amount equal to 25.41% of all fees collected by NHP from certain properties, including those owned by the Partnership.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -----------------------------------------------------------------
Note 8. Taxable Loss
A reconciliation of the major differences between net (income) loss for the consolidated financial statements and net (income) loss for tax purposes is as follows:
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Partnership, through its subsidiaries, owns real estate and, as such, is subject to various environmental laws of Federal and local governments. Compliance by the Partnership with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, and based on reports from independent third parties, management does not believe it will have such an effect in the future. However, the Partnership cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on its current properties.
Note 10. Subsequent Events
NHP recently reported that its largest stockholders have entered into certain agreements to sell all of their stock in NHP to Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly-traded REIT, and that NHP ultimately may be merged into AIMCO. No assurance can be given by ORP that AIMCO will be retained to manage its properties following consummation of these transactions.
On February 28, 1997, ORP made a quarterly cash distribution of $185,000 or $7.50 per Assignee Unit (1.5% per annum on the original $1,000 invested per Assignee Unit) to Assignee Unit Holders of record as of December 31, 1996.
