IMPORTANT
Xxxxxx River Properties, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
(the "Purchaser"), is offering to purchase up to 400 of the outstanding units
of limited partnership interest ("Units") in Davidson Diversified Real Estate
II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), at a purchase
price of $6,000 per Unit (the "Purchase Price"), net to the seller in cash,
without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Offer to Purchase and in the related Assignment of Partnership Interest
(which, together with any supplements or amendments, collectively constitute
the "Offer"). The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment under certain
circumstances, as described herein. Holders of Units (each, a "Limited
Partner") who tender their Units in response to the Offer will not be obligated
to pay any commissions or partnership transfer fees. The Purchaser is an
affiliate of Davidson Diversified Properties, Inc., which is the managing
general partner of the Partnership (the "Managing General Partner").
Limited Partners are urged to consider the following factors:
o The Purchaser and the Managing General Partner are both
affiliates of and controlled by Insignia Properties Trust
("IPT"), which is controlled by Insignia Financial Group,
Inc. ("Insignia"). IPT, through its operating partnership
Insignia Properties, L.P. ("IPLP"), currently owns 34.5
Units.
o The net asset value per Unit most recently estimated by an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner was $11,182 as of
June 30, 1998, and the net liquidation value per Unit (the
"Estimated Liquidation Value") estimated by the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) in
connection with the Offer is $10,924.92. The Purchaser does
not believe, however, that either the net asset value
estimate by the Managing General Partner's affiliate or the
Estimated Liquidation Value represents a fair estimate of the
market value of a Unit, primarily due to the fact that such
estimates do not take into account timing considerations,
market uncertainties and legal and other expenses that would
be incurred in connection with a liquidation of the
Partnership. See Section 13. Accordingly, the Purchaser does
not believe that such estimates should be viewed as
representative of the amount a Limited Partner can
realistically expect to obtain on a sale of a Unit in the
near term.
o The Purchaser will have the right to vote all Units acquired
pursuant to the Offer. Accordingly, if the Purchaser (which
is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) is
successful in acquiring a significant number of Units, it
will be able to significantly influence all voting decisions
with respect to the Partnership, including decisions
regarding liquidation, amendments to the Limited Partnership
Agreement, removal and replacement of the Managing General
Partner and the other non-managing general partners and
mergers, consolidations and other extraordinary transactions.
o The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) is making the Offer with a view to making a profit.
Accordingly, there is a conflict between the desire of the
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) to purchase Units at a low price and the desire of
the Limited Partners to sell their Units at a high price.
THE OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED ON FINANCING OR UPON ANY MINIMUM
AGGREGATE NUMBER OF UNITS BEING TENDERED.
----------------------------------------
Any Limited Partner desiring to tender Units should complete and sign
the Assignment of Partnership Interest in accordance with the Instructions to
the Assignment of Partnership Interest and mail or deliver the signed
Assignment of Partnership Interest to the Depositary. A Limited Partner may
tender any or all of the Units owned by that Limited Partner; provided,
however, that because of restrictions in the Partnership's Limited Partnership
Agreement, a partial tender of Units must be for a minimum of one-quarter of a
Unit (or, in the case of Limited Partners who hold Units in an Individual
Retirement Account or Xxxxx Plan, at least one-tenth of a Unit). Tenders of
fractional Units will not be permitted, except by a Limited Partner who is
tendering all of the Units owned by that Limited Partner.
Questions and requests for assistance or for additional copies of this
Offer to Purchase and the Assignment of Partnership Interest may be directed to
the Information Agent at the address and telephone numbers set forth below and
on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. No soliciting dealer fees or other
payments to brokers for tenders are being paid by the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner).

TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS OF
DAVIDSON DIVERSIFIED REAL ESTATE II, L.P.
INTRODUCTION
Xxxxxx River Properties, L.L.C. (the "Purchaser"), which is a Delaware
limited liability company and an affiliate of the Managing General Partner (as
defined below), hereby offers to purchase up to 400 of the outstanding units of
limited partnership interest ("Units"), representing approximately 33% of the
Units outstanding, in Davidson Diversified Real Estate II, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Partnership"), at a purchase price of $6,000 per Unit
(the "Purchase Price"), net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase and in
the related Assignment of Partnership Interest (which, together with any
supplements or amendments, collectively constitute the "Offer"). The Offer is
not conditioned on any aggregate minimum number of Units being tendered. A
Limited Partner may tender any or all of the Units owned by that Limited
Partner; provided, however, that because of restrictions in the Partnership's
Limited Partnership Agreement (the "Limited Partnership Agreement"), a partial
tender of Units must be for a minimum of one-quarter of a Unit (or, in the case
of Limited Partners who hold Units in an Individual Retirement Account ("IRA")
or Xxxxx Plan, at least one-tenth of a Unit). Accordingly, any Limited Partner
that owns one-quarter or fewer Units (or, in the case of Limited Partners who
hold Units in an IRA or Xxxxx Plan, one-tenth of a Unit), must tender all or
none of its Units. Tenders of fractional Units will not be permitted, except by
a Limited Partner who is tendering all of the Units owned by that Limited
Partner. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner)
will pay all charges and expenses of Beacon Hill Partners, Inc., who will serve
as the Purchaser's information agent for the Offer (the "Information Agent"),
and Xxxxxx Trust Company of New York, who will act as depositary for the Offer
(the "Depositary").
The Purchaser; Affiliation with the Managing General Partner. Davidson
Diversified Properties, Inc., which is the managing general partner of the
Partnership (the "Managing General Partner"), is a direct, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Insignia Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment
trust ("IPT"). The other general partners of the Partnership, Davidson
Equities, Limited and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, are prohibited by the Limited
Partnership Agreement from participating in the activities of the Partnership.
The Purchaser is a recently formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Insignia
Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("IPLP"), which is the
operating partnership of IPT. IPT is the sole general partner of IPLP (owning
approximately 66% of the total equity interests in IPLP), and Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Insignia"), is the sole limited
partner of IPLP (owning approximately 34% of the total equity interests in
IPLP). Insignia and its affiliates also own approximately 68% of the
outstanding common shares of IPT. For more than the past three years, Insignia
Residential Group, L.P. ("IRG") and Insignia/ESG, Inc. (formerly known as
Insignia Commercial Group, Inc.) ("I/ESG"), which are affiliates of Insignia
and the Purchaser, have provided property management services to the
Partnership, and Insignia (directly or through affiliates) has performed asset
management, partnership administration and investor relations services for the
Partnership. By reason of these relationships, the Managing General Partner has
conflicts of interest in considering the Offer. The Managing General Partner
has indicated in a Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (the "Schedule 14D-9") filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") that it is
remaining neutral and making no recommendation as to whether Limited Partners
should tender their Units in response to the Offer. LIMITED PARTNERS ARE URGED
TO READ THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND THE RELATED MATERIALS AND THE SCHEDULE 14D-9
CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO TENDER THEIR UNITS.
See Sections 10 and 13.
Some Factors to Be Considered by Limited Partners. In considering the
Offer, Limited Partners may wish to consider the following factors:
Potential Adverse Aspects of the Offer for Limited Partners
o The Purchaser and the Managing General Partner are affiliates
of and controlled by IPT, which is controlled by Insignia.
See Sections 11 and 13. The Managing General Partner has
conflicts of interest in considering the Offer, including (i)
as a result of the fact that a sale or liquidation of the
Partnership's assets would result in a decrease or
elimination of the fees paid to the Managing General Partner
and/or its affiliates and (ii) the fact that as a consequence
of the Purchaser's ownership of Units, the Purchaser (which
is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) may have
incentives to seek to maximize the value of its ownership of
Units, which in turn may result in a conflict for the
Managing General Partner in attempting to reconcile the
interests of the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) with the interests of the other
Limited Partners. See Section 10.
o The net asset value per Unit most recently estimated by an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner was $11,182 as of
June 30, 1998, and the net liquidation value per Unit (the
"Estimated Liquidation Value") estimated by the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) in
connection with the Offer is $10,924.92. See Section 13 for a
discussion of why the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) believes that such estimates are
not necessarily indicative of the fair market value of a
Unit. THE PURCHASER (WHICH IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE MANAGING
GENERAL PARTNER) MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AND EXPRESSES NO
OPINION AS TO THE FAIRNESS OR ADEQUACY OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.
o The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) has been advised that the Partnership is currently
marketing for sale its Shoppes at River Rock property located
in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and expects a sale to be
completed by year end. Although the Partnership is marketing
the property at a sale price of $5,150,000, the Managing
General Partner presently expects that the property will
actually be sold for approximately $4,000,000. The Managing
General Partner has advised the Purchaser that in the event
such sale occurs, it may distribute to Limited Partners the
net cash proceeds (after repayment of any outstanding
mortgage debt and payment of other costs of sale) from such
sale; however, there can be no assurance that such sale will
in fact occur. Limited Partners who tender their Units
pursuant to the Offer would forego any distributions made by
the Partnership on or after the date on which the Purchaser
purchases such Units, including distributions in respect of
any such sale. See Sections 3 and 9.
o As with any rational investment decision, the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) is
making the Offer with a view to making a profit. Accordingly,
there is a conflict between the desire of the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) to
purchase Units at a low price and the desire of the Limited
Partners to sell their Units at a high price.
o If the Purchaser is successful in acquiring a significant
number of Units pursuant to the Offer, the Purchaser (which
is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) will have
the right to vote those Units and thereby significantly
influence all voting decisions with respect to the
Partnership, including decisions concerning liquidation,
amendments to the Limited Partnership Agreement, removal and
replacement of the Managing General Partner and the other
non-managing general partners and mergers, consolidations and
other extraordinary transactions. This means that (i)
non-tendering Limited Partners could be prevented from taking
action they desire but that IPT (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) opposes and (ii) IPT (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) may be able to
take action desired by IPT but opposed by the non-tendering
Limited Partners.
2
Potentially Beneficial Aspects of the Offer for Limited Partners
o Although there are some limited resale mechanisms available
to Limited Partners wishing to sell their Units, there is no
formal trading market for Units. At present, Limited Partners
may seek to negotiate private sales or sales through a
trading system such as the American Partnership Board, which
publishes sell offers by Limited Partners in respect of
Units. Accordingly, THE OFFER AFFORDS LIMITED PARTNERS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DISPOSE OF THEIR UNITS FOR CASH WHICH
OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THEM.
o THE OFFER MAY BE ATTRACTIVE TO LIMITED PARTNERS WHO HAVE AN
IMMEDIATE NEED FOR CASH. The Purchase Price is approximately
23% less than the highest reported sales price of any Unit
(excluding Units transferred by Insignia to IPLP) during the
past six months (based on published information and
information provided by the Managing General Partner).
However, reported secondary market sales prices do not take
into account commissions and transfer fees typically payable
by a Limited Partner in connection with a secondary market
sale. Therefore, the actual proceeds received by a Limited
Partner who sells Units in the secondary market are typically
significantly less than the reported sales prices.
o LIMITED PARTNERS WHO SELL UNITS PURSUANT TO THE OFFER WILL
NOT BE CHARGED ANY SALES COMMISSIONS (WHICH GENERALLY RANGE
FROM 3% TO 10% OF THE SALES PRICE) OR PARTNERSHIP TRANSFER
FEES (WHICH ARE TYPICALLY $100 PER TRANSFER). The Purchaser
will pay all transfer fees imposed by the Partnership in
connection with sales of Units pursuant to the Offer.
o Real estate markets in the United States generally have
recovered and experienced an upward trend since the end of
the last recession. That recovery and upward trend might
continue. On the other hand, real estate markets also may be
adversely affected by a variety of factors, including
possible fluctuations in interest rates, economic slowdowns
and overbuilding. Accordingly, ownership of Units continues
to be a speculative investment. THE OFFER MAY PROVIDE LIMITED
PARTNERS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIQUIDATE THEIR INTERESTS IN
THE PARTNERSHIP AND REPLACE THEM WITH INVESTMENTS THAT ARE
LESS SPECULATIVE.
o The Offer may be attractive to Limited Partners who wish to
avoid in the future the expenses, delays and complications in
filing personal income tax returns which may be caused by
ownership of Units. In addition, A LIMITED PARTNER WHO SELLS
100% OF ITS UNITS PURSUANT TO THE OFFER WILL NO LONGER BE
SUBJECT TO THE PASSIVE ACTIVITY LOSS LIMITATION WITH RESPECT
TO "SUSPENDED" LOSSES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THOSE UNITS AND,
THEREFORE, WILL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE FULLY ANY SUCH LOSSES.
o The Offer may be attractive to those Limited Partners who
have become disenchanted with real estate investments
generally, and in particular with the perceived illiquidity
of investments made through limited partnerships, because it
may afford an immediate opportunity for those Limited
Partners to liquidate their investments in the Partnership.
On the other hand, Limited Partners who tender their Units
will be giving up the opportunity to participate in any
potential future benefits represented by the ownership of
those Units, including, for example, the right to participate
in any future distributions of cash or property, whether from
operations, the proceeds of a sale or refinancing of one or
more of the Partnership's properties or in connection with
any future liquidation of the Partnership. Instead, any such
distributions of cash or property with respect to Units
tendered in the Offer and purchased by the Purchaser will be
paid to the Purchaser.
The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner)
makes no recommendation to any Limited Partner as to whether to tender or
refrain from tendering Units and has been advised by the Managing General
Partner that the Managing General Partner also expects to make no
recommendation. Each Limited Partner must make its own decision, based on the
Limited Partner's particular circumstances, as to whether to tender Units and,
if so, how many Units to tender. Limited Partners should consult with their
respective advisors regarding the
3
financial, tax, legal and other implications of accepting the Offer. LIMITED
PARTNERS ARE URGED TO READ THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND THE RELATED MATERIALS
CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO TENDER THEIR UNITS.
Reasons for and Effects of the Offer. The Purchaser's purpose in
making the Offer is to increase IPT's equity interest in the Partnership,
primarily for investment purposes and with a view to making a profit. Although
the number of Units sought in the Offer will not give the Purchaser (which is
an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) absolute control over the
Partnership, if the Purchaser is successful in acquiring all or a substantial
portion of the Units it is tendering for, it will be in a position to exercise
significant influence over the outcome of any vote by Limited Partners. See
Sections 8, 10 and 13.
Certain Tax Considerations. A sale by a Limited Partner pursuant to
the Offer will result in taxable gain (or loss) equal to the excess (deficit)
of the amount realized by the Limited Partner for the Units sold over (under)
such Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis in those Units. In the case of a
Limited Partner who is an individual and who has held Units since their
issuance by the Partnership, the sale is expected to result in a gain, which
may be taxable as ordinary income, capital gain or gain from real estate
depreciation recapture. Limited Partners who have suspended "passive losses"
from the Partnership or other passive activity investments generally may deduct
these losses up to the amount of gain from the sale. A sale pursuant to the
Offer of all of a Limited Partner's Units will terminate his or her investment
in the Partnership and, commencing with the year following the year of sale,
the Limited Partner will no longer receive Partnership tax information or have
to report the complicated tax information currently required of Limited
Partners. See Section 6.
Originally Anticipated Term of the Partnership; General Policy
Regarding Sales and Refinancings of Partnership Properties; Alternatives.
According to the Partnership's Prospectus dated October 16, 1984, the then
managing general partner (predecessor to the current Managing General Partner
and which at the time was not affiliated with Insignia or IPT) anticipated that
the Partnership would sell and/or refinance its properties three to seven years
after their acquisition, depending on the then current real estate and money
markets, economic climate and income tax consequences to the Limited Partners.
In general, the Managing General Partner regularly evaluates the Partnership's
properties by considering various factors, such as the Partnership's financial
position and real estate and capital markets conditions. The Managing General
Partner monitors each property's specific locale and sub-market conditions
evaluating current trends, competition, new construction and economic changes.
The Managing General Partner oversees each asset's operating performance and
continuously evaluates the physical improvement requirements. In addition, the
financing structure for each property, tax implications and the investment
climate are all considered. Any of these factors, and possibly others, could
potentially contribute to any decision by the Managing General Partner to sell,
refinance, upgrade with capital improvements or hold a particular Partnership
property. The Managing General Partner has advised the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) that the Partnership is currently
marketing for sale its Shoppes at River Rock property located in Murfreesboro,
Tennessee, and expects a sale to be completed by year end. Although the
Partnership is marketing the property at a sale price of $5,150,000, the
Managing General Partner presently expects that the property will actually be
sold for approximately $4,000,000. In the event of the sale of Shoppes at River
Rock, the Managing General Partner has advised the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) that it may distribute to Limited
Partners the net cash proceeds (after repayment of any outstanding mortgage
debt and payment of other costs of sale) from such sale; however there can be
no assurance that such sale would in fact occur or as to the amount of cash
proceeds that might result from such sale. Further, no determination has been
made as to whether any net cash proceeds generated by such sale would be
distributed to Limited Partners, which determination will be made at the time
of such sale and will be based on, among other things, the Partnership's
working capital requirements at the time. Based on the above considerations,
and except for the potential sale of Shoppes at River Rock, the Managing
General Partner has determined that it is not in the best interest of Limited
Partners to sell or refinance any other Partnership property at the present
time. Under the Limited Partnership Agreement the term of the Partnership will
continue until December 31, 2008, unless sooner terminated as provided in the
Limited Partnership Agreement or by law. Limited Partners could, as an
alternative to tendering their Units, take a variety of possible actions,
including voting to liquidate the Partnership or amending the Limited
Partnership Agreement to authorize Limited Partners to cause the Partnership to
merge with another entity or engage in a "roll- up" or similar transaction.
4
Conditions. The Offer is not conditioned on any aggregate minimum
number of Units being tendered. Certain other conditions do apply, however. See
Section 14.
Distributions. The Partnership made cash distributions to Limited
Partners of $80.05 per Unit in each of 1997 and 1996. In total, original
investors in the Partnership have received distributions of only $210.10 in
respect of their original $20,000 investment made in 1985. See Section 9.
However, the Partnership is currently generating positive cash flow from
operations, and the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) believes that the Partnership will continue to generate positive cash
flow from operations. The potential for future distributions was considered by
the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) when
establishing the Purchase Price. Limited Partners who tender their Units in
response to the Offer will retain any distributions made through August 27,
1998, and will be entitled to receive and retain any subsequent distributions
made by the Partnership prior to the date on which the Purchaser pays for
tendered Units pursuant to the Offer, although any such subsequent distribution
will result in a reduction of the Purchase Price. See Section 1. However,
tendering Limited Partners will not be entitled to receive or retain any
distributions in respect of tendered Units which are made on or after the date
on which the Purchaser pays for such Units pursuant to the Offer, regardless of
the fact that the record date (as opposed to the payment date) for any such
distribution may be a date prior to the date of purchase. See Section 3.
Outstanding Units. According to information supplied by the
Partnership, as of August 1, 1998 there were 1,224.25 Units issued and
outstanding, which were held of record by 1,631 Limited Partners. IPLP
currently owns 34.5 (representing approximately 2.8%) of the outstanding Units.
See Schedule I to this Offer to Purchase for a list of transactions in the
Units effected by IPLP within the past 60 days.

THE OFFER
SECTION 1. TERMS OF THE OFFER; EXPIRATION DATE; PRORATION. Upon the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) will accept for payment (and thereby
purchase) up to 400 Units that are validly tendered on or prior to the
Expiration Date and not withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 4. For purposes of the Offer, the term "Expiration Date" shall mean
12:00 midnight, New York City time, on September 24, 1998, unless the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) in its sole discretion
shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open, in which
event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date on which
the Offer, as extended by the Purchaser, shall expire. See Section 5 for a
description of the Purchaser's right to extend the period of time during which
the Offer is open and to amend or terminate the Offer.
THE PURCHASE PRICE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE REDUCED BY THE AGGREGATE
AMOUNT OF DISTRIBUTIONS PER UNIT, IF ANY, MADE BY THE PARTNERSHIP TO LIMITED
PARTNERS ON OR AFTER SEPTEMBER 24, 1998, AND PRIOR TO THE DATE ON WHICH THE
PURCHASER PAYS FOR UNITS PURCHASED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.
If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate
of the Managing General Partner) increases the consideration offered to Limited
Partners pursuant to the Offer, the increased consideration will be paid for
all Units accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, regardless of whether the
Units were tendered prior to the increase in the consideration offered.
If more than 400 Units are validly tendered prior to the Expiration
Date and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with
the procedures specified in Section 4, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of
the Managing General Partner) will, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Offer, accept for payment and pay for an aggregate of 400 of
the Units so tendered, pro rata according to the number of Units validly
tendered by each Limited Partner and not properly withdrawn on or prior to the
Expiration Date, with appropriate adjustments to avoid (i) purchases of
fractional Units and (ii) purchases that would violate Section 12.1 of the
Limited Partnership Agreement (which generally requires that a partial tender
of Units must be for a minimum of one-quarter of a Unit (or, in the case of
Limited Partners who hold Units in an IRA or Xxxxx Plan, one-tenth of a Unit).
If the number of Units validly tendered and not properly withdrawn on or prior
to the Expiration Date is less than or equal to 400 Units, the Purchaser (which
is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) will purchase all Units so
tendered and not withdrawn, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Offer.
If proration of tendered Units is required, then, subject to the
Purchaser's obligation under Rule 14e-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act") to pay Limited Partners the Purchase Price in respect
of Units tendered or return those Units promptly after the termination or
withdrawal of the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner) does not intend to pay for any Units accepted for payment
pursuant to the Offer until the final proration results are known.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY SUCH DELAY IN PAYMENT, NO INTEREST WILL BE PAID ON THE
PURCHASE PRICE.
The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. See
Section 14, which sets forth in full the conditions of the Offer. The Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) reserves the right (but
in no event shall be obligated), in its sole discretion, to waive any or all of
those conditions. If, on or prior to the Expiration Date, any or all of the
conditions have not been satisfied or waived, the Purchaser reserves the right
to (i) decline to purchase any of the Units tendered and terminate the Offer,
(ii) waive all of the unsatisfied conditions and, subject to complying with
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, purchase all Units validly
tendered, (iii) extend the Offer and, subject to the right of Limited Partners
to withdraw Units until the Expiration Date, retain the Units that have been
tendered during the period or periods for which the Offer is extended, and/or
(iv) amend the Offer.
This Offer to Purchase and the related Assignment of Partnership
Interest are being mailed by the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) to the persons shown by the Partnership's records to
have been Limited Partners or (in the case of Units owned of record by IRAs and
qualified plans) beneficial owners of Units as of August 1, 1998.

SECTION 2. ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT AND PAYMENT FOR UNITS. Upon the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) will accept for payment (and thereby
purchase) and will pay for all Units validly tendered and not withdrawn in
accordance with the procedures specified in Section 4, as promptly as
practicable following the Expiration Date. A tendering beneficial owner of
Units whose Units are owned of record by an IRA or other qualified plan will
not receive direct payment of the Purchase Price; rather, payment will be made
to the custodian of such account or plan. In all cases, payment for Units
purchased pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the
Depositary of a properly completed and duly executed Assignment of Partnership
Interest and any other documents required by the Assignment of Partnership
Interest. See Section 3. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST BE PAID ON THE
PURCHASE PRICE BY REASON OF ANY DELAY IN MAKING SUCH PAYMENT.
For purposes of the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) will be deemed to have accepted for payment pursuant
to the Offer, and thereby purchased, validly tendered Units if, as and when the
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) gives verbal
or written notice to the Depositary of the Purchaser's acceptance of those
Units for payment pursuant to the Offer. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Offer, payment for Units accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer will be made by deposit of the Purchase Price with the Depositary, which
will act as agent for tendering Limited Partners for the purpose of receiving
payments from the Purchaser and transmitting those payments to Limited Partners
whose Units have been accepted for payment.
If any tendered Units are not purchased for any reason, the Assignment
of Partnership Interest with respect to such Units will be destroyed by the
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner). If for any
reason acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any Units tendered pursuant
to the Offer is delayed or the Purchaser is unable to accept for payment,
purchase or pay for Units tendered pursuant to the Offer, then, without
prejudice to the Purchaser's rights under Section 14, the Depositary may,
nevertheless, on behalf of the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner) retain tendered Units, and those Units may not be withdrawn
except to the extent that the tendering Limited Partners are entitled to
withdrawal rights as described in Section 4; subject, however, to the
Purchaser's obligation under Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act to pay
Limited Partners the Purchase Price in respect of Units tendered or return
those Units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer.
The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner)
reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in
part, to one or more of the Purchaser's affiliates, the right to purchase Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not
relieve the Purchaser of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the
rights of tendering Limited Partners to receive payment for Units validly
tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.
SECTION 3. PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING UNITS.
Valid Tender. In order for a tendering Limited Partner to participate
in the Offer, its Units must be validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior
to the Expiration Date. To validly tender Units, a properly completed and duly
executed Assignment of Partnership Interest and any other documents required by
the Assignment of Partnership Interest must be received by the Depositary, at
its address set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase, on or prior
to the Expiration Date. A Limited Partner may tender any or all of the Units
owned by that Limited Partner; provided, however, that because of restrictions
in the Limited Partnership Agreement, a partial tender of Units must be for a
minimum of one-quarter of a Unit (or, in the case of Limited Partners who hold
Units in an IRA or Xxxxx Plan, at least one-tenth of a Unit). Accordingly, any
Limited Partner that owns one-quarter or fewer Units (or, in the case of
Limited Partners who hold Units in an IRA or Xxxxx Plan, one-tenth of a Unit),
must tender all or none of its Units. Tenders of fractional Units will not be
permitted, except by a Limited Partner who is tendering all of the Units owned
by that Limited Partner. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will
be accepted.
7
Signature Requirements. If the Assignment of Partnership Interest is
signed by the registered holder of the Units and payment is to be made directly
to that holder, then no signature guarantee is required on the Assignment of
Partnership Interest. Similarly, if the Units are tendered for the account of a
member firm of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank, savings
bank, credit union, savings and loan association or trust company having an
office, branch or agency in the United States (each an "Eligible Institution"),
no signature guarantee is required on the Assignment of Partnership Interest.
HOWEVER, IN ALL OTHER CASES, ALL SIGNATURES ON THE ASSIGNMENT OF PARTNERSHIP
INTEREST MUST BE GUARANTEED BY AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION. Please contact the
Information Agent for assistance in obtaining a signature guarantee.
Delivery of Assignment of Partnership Interest. The method of delivery
of the Assignment of Partnership Interest and all other required documents is
at the option and risk of the tendering Limited Partner, and delivery will be
deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary. In all cases,
sufficient time should be allowed to assure timely delivery.
Appointment as Proxy; Power of Attorney. By executing an Assignment of
Partnership Interest, a tendering Limited Partner irrevocably appoints the
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner), and its
managers and designees as the Limited Partner's proxies, in the manner set
forth in the Assignment of Partnership Interest, each with full power of
substitution, to the full extent of the Limited Partner's rights with respect
to the Units tendered by the Limited Partner and accepted for payment by the
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner). Each such
proxy shall be considered coupled with an interest in the tendered Units. Such
appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that, the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) accepts the tendered
Units for payment. Upon such acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by
the Limited Partner with respect to the Units will, without further action, be
revoked, and no subsequent proxies may be given (and if given will not be
effective). The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) and its managers and designees will, as to those Units, be empowered
to exercise all voting and other rights of the Limited Partner as they in their
sole discretion may deem proper at any meeting of Limited Partners, by written
consent or otherwise. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner) reserves the right to require that, in order for Units to be
deemed validly tendered, immediately upon the Purchaser's acceptance for
payment of the Units, the Purchaser must be able to exercise full voting rights
with respect to the Units, including voting at any meeting of Limited Partners
then scheduled or acting by written consent without a meeting.
By executing an Assignment of Partnership Interest, a tendering
Limited Partner also irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser and its
managers and designees as the Limited Partner's attorneys-in-fact, each with
full power of substitution, to the full extent of the Limited Partner's rights
with respect to the Units tendered by the Limited Partner and accepted for
payment by the Purchaser. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to
the extent that, the Purchaser accepts the tendered Units for payment. The
tendering Limited Partner agrees not to exercise any rights pertaining to the
tendered Units without the prior consent of the Purchaser. Upon such acceptance
for payment, all prior powers of attorney granted by the Limited Partner with
respect to such Units will, without further action, be revoked, and no
subsequent powers of attorney may be granted (and if granted will not be
effective). Pursuant to such appointment as attorneys-in-fact, the Purchaser
and its managers and designees each will have the power, among other things,
(i) to transfer ownership of such Units on the Partnership books maintained by
the Managing General Partner (and execute and deliver any accompanying
evidences of transfer and authenticity any of them may deem necessary or
appropriate in connection therewith), (ii) upon receipt by the Depositary (as
the tendering Limited Partner's agent) of the Purchase Price, to become a
substituted Limited Partner, to receive any and all distributions made by the
Partnership on or after the date on which the Purchaser purchases such Units,
and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial
ownership of such Units in accordance with the terms of the Offer, (iii) to
execute and deliver to the Managing General Partner a change of address form
instructing the Managing General Partner to send any and all future
distributions to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to the terms of the
Offer in respect of tendered Units to the address specified in such form, and
(iv) to endorse any check payable to or upon the order of such Limited Partner
representing a distribution to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to the
terms of the Offer, in each case in the name and on behalf of the tendering
Limited Partner.
8
Assignment of Interest in Future Distributions. By executing an
Assignment of Partnership Interest, a tendering Limited Partner irrevocably
assigns to the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) and its assigns all of the right, title and interest of the Limited
Partner in and to any and all distributions made by the Partnership on or after
the date on which the Purchaser purchases such Units, in respect of the Units
tendered by such Limited Partner and accepted for payment by the Purchaser,
regardless of the fact that the record date for any such distribution may be a
date prior to the date of such purchase. The Purchaser will seek to be admitted
to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon consummation of the
Offer.
Determination of Validity; Rejection of Units; Waiver of Defects; No
Obligation to Give Notice of Defects. All questions as to the validity, form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any
tender of Units pursuant to the Offer will be determined by the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner), in its sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. The Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) reserves the absolute
right to reject any or all tenders of any particular Units determined by it not
to be in proper form or if the acceptance of or payment for those Units may, in
the opinion of the Purchaser's counsel, be unlawful. The Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) also reserves the absolute right to
waive or amend any of the conditions of the Offer that it is legally permitted
to waive as to the tender of any particular Units and to waive any defect or
irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular Units of any
particular Limited Partner. The Purchaser's interpretation of the terms and
conditions of the Offer (including the Assignment of Partnership Interest and
the Instructions thereto) will be final and binding. No tender of Units will be
deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been
cured or waived. None of the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner), the Information Agent, the Depositary or any other person
will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in
the tender of any Units or will incur any liability for failure to give any
such notification.
Backup Federal Income Tax Withholding. To prevent the possible
application of backup federal income tax withholding of 31% with respect to
payment of the Purchase Price, each tendering Limited Partner must provide the
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) with the
Limited Partner's correct taxpayer identification number by completing the
Substitute Form W-9 included in the Assignment of Partnership Interest. See the
Instructions to the Assignment of Partnership Interest and Section 6.
FIRPTA Withholding. To prevent the withholding of federal income tax
in an amount equal to 10% of the amount of the Purchase Price plus Partnership
liabilities allocable to each Unit purchased, each tendering Limited Partner
must complete the FIRPTA Affidavit included in the Assignment of Partnership
Interest certifying the Limited Partner's taxpayer identification number and
address and that such Limited Partner is not a foreign person. See the
Instructions to the Assignment of Partnership Interest and Section 6.
Binding Obligation. A tender of Units pursuant to and in accordance
with the procedures described in this Section 3 and the acceptance for payment
of such Units will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering Limited
Partner and the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) on the terms set forth in this Offer to Purchase and in the Assignment
of Partnership Interest.
SECTION 4. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS. Tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer
are irrevocable, except that Units tendered pursuant to the Offer may be
withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date and, unless already accepted
for payment as provided in this Offer to Purchase, may also be withdrawn at any
time after October 26, 1998. For withdrawal to be effective, a written or
facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the
Depositary at its address set forth on the back cover of this Offer to
Purchase. Any such notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who
tendered the Units to be withdrawn and must be signed by the person(s) who
signed the Assignment of Partnership Interest in the same manner as the
Assignment of Partnership Interest was signed (including signature guarantees
by an Eligible Institution). Units properly withdrawn will be deemed not to be
validly tendered for purposes of the Offer. Withdrawn Units may be re-tendered,
however, by following the procedures described in Section 3 at any time prior
to the Expiration Date.
If payment for Units is delayed for any reason or if the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) is unable to pay for
Units for any reason, then, without prejudice to the Purchaser's rights under
9
the Offer, tendered Units may be retained by the Depositary and may not be
withdrawn except to the extent that tendering Limited Partners are entitled to
withdrawal rights as set forth in this Section 4; subject, however, to the
Purchaser's obligation, pursuant to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to
pay Limited Partners the Purchase Price in respect of Units tendered or return
those Units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer.
All questions as to the validity and form (including time of receipt)
of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner), in its sole discretion, which
determination shall be final and binding. None of the Purchaser, the
Information Agent, the Depositary or any other person will be under any duty to
give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal
or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
SECTION 5. EXTENSION OF TENDER PERIOD; TERMINATION; AMENDMENT. The
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) expressly
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time,
(i) to extend the period of time during which the Offer is open and thereby
delay acceptance for payment of, and the payment for, validly tendered Units,
(ii) to terminate the Offer if any condition referred to in Section 14 has not
been satisfied or upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 14 and
(iii) to amend the Offer in any respect (including, without limitation, by
increasing the consideration offered, increasing or decreasing the number of
Units being sought, or both). Notice of any such extension, termination or
amendment will be disseminated promptly to Limited Partners in a manner
reasonably designed to inform Limited Partners of such change in compliance
with Rule 14d-4(c) under the Exchange Act. In the case of an extension of the
Offer, the extension will be followed by a press release or public announcement
which will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next
business day after the then scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance with Rule
14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act.
If the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) extends the Offer, or if the Purchaser (whether before or after its
acceptance for payment of Units) is delayed in its payment for Units or is
unable to pay for Units pursuant to the Offer for any reason, then, without
prejudice to the Purchaser's rights under the Offer, the Depositary may retain
tendered Units and those Units may not be withdrawn except to the extent
tendering Limited Partners are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in
Section 4; subject, however, to the Purchaser's obligation, pursuant to Rule
14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay Limited Partners the Purchase Price in
respect of Units tendered or return those Units promptly after termination or
withdrawal of the Offer.
If the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) makes a material change in the terms of the Offer or the information
concerning the Offer or waives a material condition of the Offer, the Purchaser
will extend the Offer and disseminate additional tender offer materials to the
extent required by Rules 14d-4(c) and 14d-6(d) under the Exchange Act. The
minimum period during which an offer must remain open following a material
change in the terms of the offer or information concerning the offer will
depend upon the facts and circumstances, including the relative materiality of
the change in the terms or information. In the Commission's view, an offer
should remain open for a minimum of five business days from the date the
material change is first published, sent or given to securityholders, and if
material changes are made with respect to information that approaches the
significance of price or the percentage of securities sought, a minimum of ten
business days may be required to allow for adequate dissemination to
securityholders and investor response. As used in this Offer to Purchase,
"business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a federal
holiday, and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00
midnight, New York City time.
SECTION 6. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS.
General. The following summary is a general discussion of certain of
the federal income tax consequences of a sale of Units pursuant to the Offer.
This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, administrative rulings,
practice and procedures and judicial authority, all as of the date of the
Offer. All of the foregoing are subject to change, and any such change could
affect the continuing accuracy of this summary. This summary does not discuss
all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular
Limited Partner in light of such Limited Partner's specific circumstances or to
certain types of Limited Partners subject to special treatment under the
federal income tax laws (for example,
10
foreign persons, dealers in securities, banks, insurance companies and
tax-exempt organizations), nor (except as otherwise expressly indicated) does
it describe any aspect of state, local, foreign or other tax laws. Sales of
Units pursuant to the Offer will be taxable transactions for federal income tax
purposes, and also may be taxable transactions under applicable state, local,
foreign and other tax laws. EACH LIMITED PARTNER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX
ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH LIMITED PARTNER OF
SELLING UNITS PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.
Gain or Loss Generally. In general, a Limited Partner will recognize
gain or loss on a sale of Units pursuant to the Offer equal to the difference
between (i) the Limited Partner's "amount realized" on the sale and (ii) the
Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis in the Units sold. Generally, a Limited
Partner's adjusted tax basis with respect to a Unit equals its cost, increased
by the amount of income and the amount of Partnership liabilities (as
determined under Code Section 752) allocated to the Unit, and decreased by (i)
any distributions made with respect to such Unit, (ii) the amount of deductions
or losses allocated to the Unit and (iii) any decrease in the amount of
Partnership liabilities (as determined under Code Section 752) allocated to the
Unit. Thus, the amount of a Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis in tendered
Units will vary depending upon the Limited Partner's particular circumstances.
The "amount realized" with respect to a Unit will be a sum equal to the amount
of cash received by the Limited Partner for the Unit pursuant to the Offer,
plus the amount of the Partnership's liabilities allocable to the Unit (as
determined under Code Section 752). Limited Partners who purchased their
interests from the Partnership in the original issuance of the Units are
expected to recognize taxable gain on the sale in an amount in excess of the
Purchase Price.
A portion of the gain or loss recognized by a Limited Partner on a
sale of a Unit pursuant to the Offer generally will be treated as a capital
gain or loss, if (as is generally expected to be the case) the Unit was held by
the Limited Partner as a capital asset. Under the IRS Restructuring and Reform
Act of 1998, the capital gains rate for individuals and other non-corporate
taxpayers is 20% for sales of capital assets held for more than one year.
However, any gain from the sale of such assets attributable to the recapture of
depreciation with respect to real property (other than certain depreciation
recapture taxable as ordinary income) is taxed at a maximum rate of 25%.
Corporate taxpayers are taxed at a maximum marginal rate of 35% for both
capital gains and ordinary income. The maximum marginal federal income tax rate
for ordinary income of individuals and other noncorporate taxpayers is 39.6%.
Capital losses are deductible only to the extent of capital gains, except that,
subject to the passive activity loss limitations discussed below, non-corporate
taxpayers may deduct up to $3,000 of capital losses in excess of the amount of
their capital gains against ordinary income. Excess capital losses generally
can be carried forward to succeeding years (a corporation's carryforward period
is five years and a non-corporate taxpayer can carry forward such losses
indefinitely); and a corporation is permitted to carry back excess capital
losses to the three preceding taxable years, provided the carryback does not
increase or produce a net operating loss for any of those years.
A tendering Limited Partner will be allocated a pro rata share of the
Partnership's taxable income or loss for the year of sale with respect to the
Units sold in accordance with the provisions of the Limited Partnership
Agreement concerning transfers of Units. Such allocation and any cash
distributed by the Partnership to the Limited Partner for that year will affect
the Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis in Units and, therefore, the amount of
such Limited Partner's taxable gain or loss upon a sale of Units pursuant to
the Offer.
Unrealized Receivables and Certain Inventory. A portion of the gain
upon the sale of Units may be attributable to unrealized receivables. If any
portion of the amount of gain realized by a Limited Partner is attributable to
"unrealized receivables" (which includes certain depreciation recapture) or
"substantially appreciated inventory" as defined in Code Section 751, then a
portion of the Limited Partner's gain or loss may be ordinary rather than
capital. In addition, a portion of such gain may be taxed at the 25% rate
discussed above. A Limited Partner who tenders Units which are purchased
pursuant to the Offer must file an information statement with such Limited
Partner's federal income tax return for the year of the sale which provides the
information specified in Treasury Regulation ss. 1.751-1(a)(3). A selling
Limited Partner also must notify the Partnership of the date of the transfer
and the names, addresses and tax identification numbers of the transferor(s)
and transferee within 30 days of the date of the transfer (or, if earlier, by
January 15 of the following calendar year).
11
Passive Activity Loss Limitation. Under Code Section 469, a
non-corporate taxpayer or personal service corporation generally can deduct
"passive losses" in any year only to the extent of the person's passive income
for that year. Closely held corporations (other than personal service
corporations) may offset such losses against active income as well as passive
activity income for that year. A portion of any post-1986 losses of Limited
Partners from the Partnership would have been passive losses. Thus, Limited
Partners may have "suspended" passive losses from the Partnership (i.e.,
post-1986 net taxable losses in excess of statutorily permitted "phase-in"
amounts which have not been used to offset income from other passive activities
or from the Partnership). Substantially all gain or loss from a sale of Units
pursuant to the Offer will be passive income or loss.
If a Limited Partner sells less than all of its Units pursuant to the
Offer, suspended passive losses, if any (including a portion of any loss
recognized on the sale of Units), can be currently deducted (subject to other
applicable limitations) to the extent of the Limited Partner's passive income
from the Partnership for that year (including any gain recognized on the sale
of Units) plus any other passive income for that year. If, on the other hand, a
Limited Partner sells 100% of its Units pursuant to the Offer, any "suspended"
losses and any losses recognized upon the sale of the Units will be offset
first against any other net passive gain to the Limited Partner from the sale
of the Units and any other net passive activity income from other passive
activity investments, and the balance of any "suspended" net losses from the
Units will no longer be subject to the passive activity loss limitation and,
therefore, will be deductible by such Limited Partner from its other income
(subject to any other applicable limitations), including ordinary income. If a
tendering Limited Partner has suspended passive losses from the Partnership,
such Limited Partner must sell all of its Units to receive these tax benefits.
If more than 400 of the outstanding Units are tendered, some tendering Limited
Partners may not be able to sell 100% of their Units pursuant to the Offer
because of proration of the number of Units to be purchased by the Purchaser.
See Section 1.
Partnership Termination. Section 708(b) of the Code provides that a
partnership terminates for income tax purposes if there is a sale or exchange
of 50% or more of the total interest in partnership capital and profits within
a twelve-month period (although successive transfers of the same interest
within a twelve-month period will be treated as a single transfer for this
purpose). In the event of a termination, the Partnership's tax year would close
and the Partnership would be treated for income tax purposes as if it had
contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a "new" partnership in
exchange for an interest in the "new" partnership. The Partnership would then
be treated as making a distribution of the interests in the "new" partnership
to the new partners and the remaining partners, followed by the liquidation of
the Partnership. Because the "new" partnership would be treated as having
acquired its assets on the date of the deemed contribution, a new depreciation
recovery period would begin on such date, the Partnership's annual depreciation
deductions over the next few years would be substantially reduced, and the
Partnership would have greater taxable income (or less tax loss) than if no tax
termination occurred. In addition, depreciation may be required to be allocated
to those Limited Partners that have a higher tax basis. A tax termination of
the Partnership would also terminate any partnership in which the Partnership
holds a majority interest (50% or more).
The Limited Partnership Agreement prohibits transfers of Units if a
transfer, when considered with all other transfers during the same applicable
twelve-month period, would cause a termination of the Partnership for tax
purposes. The Purchaser believes that even if the maximum number of Units is
purchased pursuant to the Offer, those transfers will not cause a tax
termination of the Partnership.
Backup Withholding and FIRPTA Withholding. Limited Partners (other
than tax-exempt persons, corporations and certain foreign persons) who tender
Units may be subject to 31% backup withholding unless those Limited Partners
provide a taxpayer identification number ("TIN") and certify that the TIN is
correct or properly certify that they are awaiting a TIN. A Limited Partner may
avoid backup withholding by properly completing and signing the Substitute Form
W-9 included as part of the Assignment of Partnership Interest. If a Limited
Partner who is subject to backup withholding does not properly complete and
sign the Substitute Form W-9, the Purchaser will withhold 31% from payments to
such Limited Partner.
Xxxx realized by a foreign Limited Partner on the sale of a Unit
pursuant to the Offer will be subject to federal income tax. Under Code Section
1445, the transferee of an interest held by a foreign person in a partnership
which owns United States real property generally is required to deduct and
withhold a tax equal to 10% of the
12
amount realized on the disposition. In order to comply with this requirement,
the Purchaser will withhold 10% of the amount realized by a tendering Limited
Partner unless the Limited Partner properly completes and signs the FIRPTA
Affidavit included as part of the Assignment of Partnership Interest certifying
the Limited Partner's TIN and address, and that such Limited Partner is not a
foreign person. Amounts withheld would be creditable against a foreign Limited
Partner's federal income tax liability and, if in excess thereof, a refund
could be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service by filing a U.S. income tax
return.
SECTION 7. EFFECTS OF THE OFFER.
Limitations on Resales. The Limited Partnership Agreement prohibits
transfers of Units if a transfer, when considered with all other transfers
during the same applicable twelve-month period, would cause a termination of
the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. This provision may limit sales
of Units in the secondary market and in private transactions for the
twelve-month period following completion of the Offer. The Managing General
Partner has advised the Purchaser that the Partnership will not process any
requests for recognition of substitution of Limited Partners upon a transfer of
Units during such twelve-month period which the Managing General Partner
believes may cause a tax termination in contravention of the Limited
Partnership Agreement. In determining the number of Units for which the Offer
is made (representing approximately 33% of the outstanding Units), the
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) took this
restriction into account so as to permit normal historical levels of transfers
to occur following the transfers of Units pursuant to the Offer without
violating this restriction.
Effect on Trading Market; Registration Under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act. If a substantial number of Units are purchased pursuant to the
Offer, the result will be a reduction in the number of Limited Partners. In the
case of certain kinds of equity securities, a reduction in the number of
security-holders might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity
and volume of activity in the trading market for the security. In this case,
however, there is no established public trading market for the Units and,
therefore, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) does not believe a reduction in the number of Limited Partners will
materially further restrict the Limited Partners' ability to find purchasers
for their Units through secondary market transactions. See Section 13 for
certain limited information regarding recent secondary market sales of the
Units.
The Units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act,
which means, among other things, that the Partnership is required to file
periodic reports with the Commission and to comply with the Commission's proxy
rules. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner)
does not expect or intend that consummation of the Offer will cause the Units
to cease to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If the Units
were to be held by fewer than 300 persons, the Partnership could apply to
de-register the Units under the Exchange Act. Because the Units are widely
held, however, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) believes that, even if it purchases the maximum number of Units in the
Offer, after that purchase the Units will be held of record by more than 300
persons.
Control of Limited Partner Voting Decisions by Purchaser; Effect of
Relationship with Managing General Partner. The Limited Partnership Agreement
provides that the Managing General Partner has absolute discretion as to
whether to admit an assignee of Units to the Partnership as a substituted
Limited Partner. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) will seek to be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited
Partner upon consummation of the Offer and, if admitted, will have the right to
vote each Unit purchased pursuant to the Offer. Even if the Purchaser (which is
an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) is not admitted to the
Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, however, the Purchaser
nonetheless will have the right to vote each Unit purchased in the Offer
pursuant to the irrevocable appointment by tendering Limited Partners of the
Purchaser and its managers and designees as proxies with respect to the Units
tendered by such Limited Partners and accepted for payment by the Purchaser.
See Section 3. As a result, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) could be in a position to significantly influence all
voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. In general, IPLP and the
Purchaser (which are affiliates of the Managing General Partner) will vote the
Units owned by them in whatever manner they deem to be in the best interests of
IPT, which, because of their relationship with the Managing General Partner,
also may be in the interest of the Managing General Partner, but may not be in
the interest of other Limited Partners. This could (i) prevent non-tendering
Limited Partners from
13
taking action they desire but that IPT opposes and (ii) enable IPT to take
action desired by IPT but opposed by non- tendering Limited Partners. Under the
Limited Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units
are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters including:
removal of the Managing General Partner or the other non-managing general
partners and in certain circumstances election of a new or successor managing
general partner or non-managing general partners; sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Partnership; dissolution of the Partnership; and most
types of amendments to the Limited Partnership Agreement.
The Offer will not result in any change in the compensation payable to
the Managing General Partner or its affiliates. However, as a result of the
Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner)
will participate, in its capacity as a Limited Partner, in any subsequent
distributions to Limited Partners to the extent of the Units purchased pursuant
to the Offer.
SECTION 8. FUTURE PLANS OF INSIGNIA, IPT AND THE PURCHASER. IPT,
through the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner),
is seeking to acquire Units pursuant to the Offer in order to increase its
equity interest in the Partnership, primarily for investment purposes and with
a view to making a profit. Following the completion of the Offer, IPT and/or
persons related to or affiliated with it may acquire additional Units. Any such
acquisition may be made through private purchases, through one or more future
tender or exchange offers or by any other means deemed advisable. Any such
acquisition may be at a price higher or lower than the price to be paid for the
Units purchased pursuant to the Offer, and may be for cash or other
consideration. Insignia and IPT (which are affiliates of the Managing General
Partner) also may consider disposing of some or all of the Units the Purchaser
acquires pursuant to the Offer, either directly or by a sale or other
disposition of one or more interests in IPT or IPLP, depending among other
things on the requirements from time to time of Insignia, IPT and their
affiliates in light of liquidity, strategic, tax and other considerations.
Neither IPT nor the Purchaser (which are affiliates of the Managing
General Partner) has any present plans or intentions with respect to an
extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation,
involving the Partnership or a sale or refinancing of any of the Partnership's
properties, other than the potential sale of Shoppes at River Rock (as
described in Section 9). However, IPT and the Purchaser expect that consistent
with the Managing General Partner's fiduciary obligations, the Managing General
Partner will seek and review opportunities (including opportunities identified
by IPT and the Purchaser) to engage in transactions which could benefit the
Partnership, such as sales or refinancings of assets or a combination of the
Partnership with one or more other entities, with the objective of seeking to
maximize returns to Limited Partners.
IPT and the Purchaser (which are affiliates of the Managing General
Partner) have been advised that the possible future transactions the Managing
General Partner expects to consider on behalf of the Partnership include (i)
payment of extraordinary distributions; (ii) refinancing, reducing or
increasing existing indebtedness of the Partnership; (iii) sales of assets,
individually or as part of a complete liquidation; and (iv) mergers or other
consolidation transactions involving the Partnership. Any such merger or
consolidation transaction could involve other limited partnerships in which the
Managing General Partner or its affiliates serve as general partners, or a
combination of the Partnership with one or more existing, publicly traded
entities (including, possibly, affiliates of IPT (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) or IPT itself), in any of which Limited Partners
might receive cash, common stock or other securities or consideration. There is
no assurance, however, as to when or whether any of the transactions referred
to above might occur. If any such transaction is effected by the Partnership
and financial benefits accrue to the Limited Partners of the Partnership, the
Purchaser (and thus IPT) will participate in those benefits to the extent of
its ownership of Units. A merger or other consolidation transaction and certain
kinds of other extraordinary transactions would require a vote of the Limited
Partners, and if the Purchaser is successful in acquiring a significant number
of Units pursuant to the Offer (or otherwise), IPT will be able to
significantly influence the outcome of any such vote. IPT's primary objective
in seeking to acquire the Units through the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer is
not, however, to influence the vote on any particular transaction, but rather
to generate a profit on the investment represented by those Units.

SECTION 9. CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PARTNERSHIP. Except as
otherwise indicated, information contained in this Section 9 is based upon
documents and reports publicly filed by the Partnership with the Commission.
General. The Partnership was organized on June 29, 1984 under the laws
of the State of Delaware. Its principal executive offices are located at Xxx
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000, and its telephone
number at that address is (000) 000-0000.
The Partnership's primary business is real estate ownership and
related operations. The Partnership was formed to invest in, hold and manage
existing income producing residential real estate and, to a lesser extent,
existing or to-be-built commercial real estate.
The Partnership's investment portfolio currently consists of four
residential apartment complexes and one shopping center, as follows: a 251-unit
residential complex in Columbus, Ohio; a 260-unit residential complex in
Louisville, Kentucky; a 248-unit residential complex in Nashville, Tennessee; a
582-unit residential complex in Indianapolis, Indiana; and a 120,000 square
foot retail center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Originally Anticipated Term of Partnership; Alternatives. According to
the Partnership's Prospectus dated October 16, 1984, the then managing general
partner (predecessor to the current Managing General Partner and which at the
time was not affiliated with Insignia or IPT) anticipated that the Partnership
would sell and/or refinance its properties three to seven years after their
acquisition, depending on the then current real estate and money markets,
economic climate and income tax consequences to the Limited Partners. Under the
Limited Partnership Agreement the term of the Partnership will continue until
December 31, 2008, unless sooner terminated as provided in the Limited
Partnership Agreement or by law. Limited Partners could, as an alternative to
tendering their Units, take a variety of possible actions, including voting to
liquidate the Partnership or amending the Limited Partnership Agreement to
authorize Limited Partners to cause the Partnership to merge with another
entity or engage in a "roll- up" or similar transaction.
General Policy Regarding Sales and Refinancings of Partnership
Properties. In general, the Managing General Partner regularly evaluates the
Partnership's properties by considering various factors, such as the
Partnership's financial position and real estate and capital markets
conditions. The Managing General Partner monitors each property's specific
locale and sub-market conditions evaluating current trends, competition, new
construction and economic changes. The Managing General Partner oversees each
asset's operating performance and continuously evaluates the physical
improvement requirements. In addition, the financing structure for each
property, tax implications and the investment climate are all considered. Any
of these factors, and possibly others, could potentially contribute to any
decision by the Managing General Partner to sell, refinance, upgrade with
capital improvements or hold a particular Partnership property. The Managing
General Partner has advised the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) that the Partnership is currently marketing for sale
its Shoppes at River Rock property located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and
expects a sale to be completed by year end. Although the Partnership is
marketing the property at a sale price of $5,150,000, the Managing General
Partner presently expects that the property will actually be sold for
approximately $4,000,000. In the event of the sale of Shoppes at River Rock,
the Managing General Partner has advised the Purchaser (which is an affiliate
of the Managing General Partner) that it may distribute to Limited Partners the
net cash proceeds (after repayment of any outstanding mortgage debt and payment
of other costs of sale) from such sale; however there can be no assurance that
such sale would in fact occur or as to the amount of cash proceeds that might
result from such sale. Further, no determination has been made as to whether
any net cash proceeds generated by such sale would be distributed to Limited
Partners, which determination will be made at the time of such sale and will be
based on, among other things, the Partnership's working capital requirements at
the time. Based on the above considerations, and except for the potential sale
of Shoppes at River Rock, the Managing General Partner has determined that it
is not in the best interest of Limited Partners to sell or refinance any other
Partnership property at the present time.

Other Information. The Partnership is subject to the information
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and accordingly is required to file
reports and other information with the Commission relating to its business,
financial results and other matters. Such reports and other documents may be
inspected at the Commission's Public Reference Section, Room 1024, 000 Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000, where copies may be obtained at
prescribed rates, and at the regional offices of the Commission located in the
Citicorp Center, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000,
and 7 World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048. Copies should be available
by mail upon payment of the Commission's customary charges by writing to the
Commission's principal offices at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X.
00000. The Commission also maintains a web site that contains reports, proxy
and other information filed electronically with the Commission, the address of
which is xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx.
Cash Distributions History. The Partnership made cash distributions to
Limited Partners of $80.05 per Unit in each of 1997 and 1996. In total,
original investors in the Partnership have received distributions of only
$210.10 in respect of their original $20,000 investment made in 1985.
Operating Budgets of the Partnership. A summary of the fiscal 1997 and
1998 operating budgets and the audited results of operations for fiscal 1997 of
the Partnership are set forth in the table below. The budgeted amounts provided
below are figures that were not computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). Historically, budgeted operating results of
operations for a particular fiscal year have differed significantly in certain
respects from the audited operating results for that year. In particular, items
that are categorized as capital expenditures for purposes of preparing the
operating budgets are often re-categorized as expenses when the financial
statements are audited and presented in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, the
summary operating budget presented for fiscal 1998 should not necessarily be
considered as indicative of what the audited operating results for fiscal 1998
will be. Furthermore, any estimate of the future performance of a business,
such as the Partnership's business, is forward-looking and based on numerous
assumptions, some of which inevitably will prove to be incorrect. For this
reason, it is probable that the Partnership's future operating results will
differ from those projected in the operating budget, and those differences may
be material. Therefore, such information should not be relied on by Limited
Partners.

SECTION 10. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
The Managing General Partner and its affiliates have conflicts of interest with
respect to the Offer as set forth below.
Conflicts of Interest with Respect to the Offer. The Managing General
Partner has conflicts of interest with respect to the Offer, including
conflicts resulting from its affiliation with IPT and the Purchaser. The
Managing General Partner also would have a conflict of interest (i) as a result
of the fact that a sale or liquidation of the Partnership's assets would result
in a decrease or elimination of the fees paid to the Managing General Partner
and/or its affiliates and (ii) as a consequence of the Purchaser's ownership of
Units, because the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) may have incentives to seek to maximize the value of its ownership of
Units, which in turn may result in a conflict for the Managing General Partner
in attempting to reconcile the interests of the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) with the interests of the other
Limited Partners. In addition, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) is making the Offer with a view to making a profit.
Accordingly, there is a conflict between the desire of the Purchaser (which is
an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) to purchase Units at a low price
and the desire of the Limited Partners to sell their Units at a high price. The
Managing General Partner has indicated in the Schedule 14D-9 that it is
remaining neutral and making no recommendation as to whether Limited Partners
should tender their Units pursuant to the Offer. LIMITED PARTNERS ARE URGED TO
READ THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND THE SCHEDULE 14D-9 AND THE RELATED MATERIALS
CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO TENDER THEIR UNITS.
Voting by the Purchaser. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides
that the Managing General Partner has absolute discretion as to whether to
admit an assignee of Units to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner.
The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) will seek
to be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon
consummation of the Offer and, when admitted, will have the right to vote each
Unit purchased pursuant to the Offer. Even if the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) is not admitted to the Partnership
as a substituted Limited Partner, however, the Purchaser nonetheless will have
the right to vote each Unit purchased in the Offer pursuant to the irrevocable
appointment by tendering Limited Partners of the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) and its managers and designees as
proxies with respect to the Units tendered by such Limited Partners and
accepted for payment by the Purchaser. See Section 3. As a result, if the
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) is successful
in acquiring a significant number of Units pursuant to the Offer, the Purchaser
will have the right to vote those Units and thereby significantly influence all
voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. In general, IPLP and the
Purchaser (which are affiliates of the Managing General Partner) will vote the
Units owned by them in whatever manner they deem to be in IPT's best interests,
which, because of their relationship with the Managing General Partner, also
may be in the interest of the Managing General Partner, but may not be in the
interest of other Limited Partners. This could (i) prevent non-tendering
Limited Partners from taking action they desire but that IPT opposes and (ii)
enable IPT to take action desired by IPT but opposed by non-tendering Limited
Partners. Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners holding a
majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of
matters including: removal of the Managing General Partner or the other
non-managing general partners and in certain circumstances election of a new or
successor managing general partner or non- managing general partners;
dissolution of the Partnership; sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Partnership; and most types of amendments to the Limited Partnership
Agreement. See Section 7.
Financing Arrangements. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) expects to pay for the Units it purchases pursuant to
the Offer with funds provided by IPLP as capital contributions. IPLP in turn
intends to use its cash on hand and, if necessary, funds available to it under
its credit facility (as described in Section 12) to make such contributions.
See Section 12. It is possible, however, that in connection with its future
financing activities, IPT or IPLP may cause or request the Purchaser (which is
an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) to pledge the Units as collateral
for loans, or otherwise agree to terms which provide IPT, IPLP
19
and the Purchaser with incentives to generate substantial near-term cash flow
from the Purchaser's investment in the Units. This could be the case, for
example, if a loan has a "balloon" maturity after a relatively short time or
bears a high or increasing interest rate. In such a situation, the Managing
General Partner may experience a conflict of interest in seeking to reconcile
the best interests of the Partnership with the need of its affiliates for cash
flow from the Partnership's activities.
Transactions with Affiliates. Under the Limited Partnership Agreement,
the Managing General Partner and the other general partners each holds an
interest in the Partnership and is entitled to participate in certain cash
distributions made by the Partnership to its partners. The Managing General
Partner and the other general partners in the aggregate received from the
Partnership in respect of their interests in the Partnership cash distributions
of $2,000 in 1997 and $2,000 in 1996. The Partnership paid IRG and I/ESG
property management fees for property management services in the amounts of
approximately $436,000, $381,000 and $370,000 for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and has paid IRG and I/ESG property
management fees equal to $215,000 during the first six months of 1998. The
Partnership reimbursed the Managing General Partner and its affiliates
(including Insignia) for expenses incurred in connection with asset management
and partnership administration services performed by them for the Partnership
for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 in the amounts of
$253,000, $257,000 and $173,000, respectively, and has reimbursed them for such
services in the amount of $117,000 through June 30, 1998. The reimbursement
amounts for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 both include $31,000,
which amounts were paid to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner for
costs incurred in connection with construction oversight services. The
Partnership paid $78,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to an affiliate
of the Managing General Partner for costs incurred in connection with
construction oversight services. The Partnership also paid $2,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner for
commercial lease commissions. For the period January 1, 1996 through December
31, 1996, the Partnership insured its properties under a master policy through
an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner, and
through an agency affiliated with the Managing General Partner for the period
January 1, 1997 through August 31, 1997. An affiliate of the Managing General
Partner acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial
obligations from an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who
placed the current year's master policy. That agent assumed the financial
obligations to the affiliate of the Managing General Partner who received
payments on these obligations from the agent. Insignia and the Managing General
Partner believe that the aggregate financial benefit derived by Insignia and
its affiliates from such arrangement was immaterial.
SECTION 11. CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PURCHASER, IPLP, IPT
AND INSIGNIA.
The Purchaser. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner) is a recently formed entity controlled by IPT and organized
for the purpose of making the Offer. The Purchaser is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of IPLP. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner)
has not engaged in any business activity other than in connection with the
Offer and certain other tender offers for units of limited partnership
interests in other IPT Partnerships (as defined below) being made
contemporaneously with and during the 30 days preceding the Offer, and has no
significant assets or liabilities at the present time other than the units of
limited partnership interest acquired in such other offers. Upon consummation
of the Offer and such other offers, the Purchaser's only significant assets
will be the Units it acquires pursuant to the Offer and the limited partnership
units it acquires pursuant to such other offers.
The principal executive offices of the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) are located at One Insignia
Financial Plaza, P.O. Box 19059, Greenville, South Carolina 29602, and its
telephone number is (000) 000-0000. For certain information concerning the
managers of the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner), see Schedule II to this Offer to Purchase.
IPT and IPLP. IPT was formed by Insignia in May 1996, for the purpose
of acquiring and owning interests in multi-family residential properties,
principally through ownership of limited and general partner interests in real
estate limited partnerships (including the Partnership). IPT has been organized
and operates in a manner that will qualify it to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") under the Code. Substantially all of IPT's
20
investments are held through IPLP, which is the operating partnership of IPT.
IPT is presently the sole general partner and Insignia is presently the sole
limited partner of IPLP.
IPT has engaged Insignia to provide certain investment banking and
related services to IPT and IPLP, including in connection with the Offer.
Substantially all of IPT's assets consist of (i) interests in entities
which comprise or control the managing general partners of real estate limited
partnerships, including the Partnership (the "IPT Partnerships"), which
interests are held by IPT directly, and (ii) limited partner interests in the
IPT Partnerships, which interests are held through IPLP. The IPT Partnerships
own, in the aggregate, 349 properties containing approximately 73,000
residential apartment units and approximately 5.8 million square feet of
commercial space. See Schedule V for a list of the IPT Partnerships in which
IPT has a material investment.
On July 18, 1997, IPT, Insignia, MAE GP Corporation (which at the time
was an affiliate of IPT but has subsequently been merged into IPT, see Section
13) ("MAE GP"), and Angeles Mortgage Investment Trust, an unincorporated
California business trust ("AMIT"), entered into a definitive merger agreement
(the "AMIT Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which AMIT is to be merged with and
into IPT, with IPT being the surviving entity, in a stock for stock transaction
(the "AMIT Merger"). XXXX is a public company whose Class A shares trade on the
American Stock Exchange under the symbol ANM. Insignia and its affiliates
currently own 96,800 (or approximately 3.7%) of the 2,617,000 outstanding AMIT
Class A shares and all of the 1,675,113 outstanding AMIT Class B shares. If the
AMIT Merger is consummated, IPT will become a publicly traded company (IPT's
common shares have been approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange
under the symbol "FFO," subject to consummation of the AMIT Merger) and it is
anticipated that Insignia and its affiliates will own approximately 57% of
post-merger IPT, the former AMIT shareholders (other than Insignia and its
affiliates) will own approximately 16% of post-merger IPT, and the current
unaffiliated shareholders of IPT will own the remaining 27% of post-merger IPT
(see, however, the discussion of the merger of Insignia and AIMCO in the
following subsection of this Section 9 captioned "Insignia").
The XXXX Xxxxxx is expected to be completed in early September 1998.
However, consummation of the AMIT Merger is subject to several conditions,
including approval of the AMIT Merger Agreement and the AMIT Merger by the
shareholders of AMIT. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to when the
AMIT Merger will occur, or that it will occur at all.
The principal executive offices of IPT and IPLP are located at One
Insignia Financial Plaza, P.O. Box 19059, Greenville, South Carolina 29602, and
the telephone number of each is (000) 000-0000. For certain information
concerning the trustees and executive officers of IPT, see Schedule III to this
Offer to Purchase. IPLP does not have any officers or employees.
Set forth below is certain consolidated financial information with
respect to IPT and IPLP.

Insignia. Insignia is a fully integrated real estate services
organization. Insignia is the largest manager of multi-family residential
properties in the United States and is among the largest managers of commercial
properties. Insignia's real estate services include property management,
providing all of the day-to-day services necessary to operate a property,
whether residential or commercial; asset management, including long-term
financial planning, monitoring and implementing capital improvement plans, and
development and execution of refinancings and dispositions; real estate leasing
and brokerage; maintenance and construction services; marketing and
advertising; investor reporting and accounting; and investment banking,
including assistance in workouts and restructurings, mergers and acquisitions,
and debt and equity securitizations.
Insignia provides property and/or asset management services for
approximately 3,800 properties, which include approximately 272,000 residential
units (including cooperative and condominium units), and in excess of 208
million square feet of retail, commercial and industrial space, located in over
500 cities in 48 states, Italy, the United Kingdom and Germany. Insignia
currently provides partnership administration services to approximately 900
limited partnerships having approximately 350,000 limited partners. Insignia is
a public company whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol IFS.
On March 17, 1998, Insignia and Apartment Investment and Management
Company, a Maryland corporation ("AIMCO"), entered into a definitive merger
agreement (as amended and restated, the "AIMCO Merger Agreement"), pursuant to
which substantially all of Insignia's residential real estate operations and
ownership interests, including its interests in IPT and IPLP, are to be merged
with and into AIMCO, with AIMCO as the surviving corporation (the "AIMCO
Merger"). AIMCO is a public REIT whose Class A shares trade on the New York
Stock Exchange under the symbol AIV. The XXXXX Xxxxxx is expected to be
completed early in the fourth quarter of 1998. However, consummation of the
AIMCO Merger is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the
shareholders of Insignia. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to when the
AIMCO Merger will occur, or that it will occur at all.
22
Assuming the AIMCO Merger is consummated, AIMCO will succeed to
Insignia's ownership of IPT and IPLP, and thus IPT (and the Partnership) will
thereafter be controlled by AIMCO. In addition, AIMCO is required pursuant to
the AIMCO Merger Agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of IPT not
owned by Insignia by causing IPT to merge with and into AIMCO (or a subsidiary
of AIMCO) as soon as practicable after the consummation of the AIMCO Merger, in
which event IPT would cease to exist as a separate entity and AIMCO would
effectively own all of the Units acquired by the Purchaser pursuant to the
Offer.

the Exchange Act and in accordance therewith is required to file periodic
reports, proxy statements and other information with the Commission relating to

Except as otherwise set forth herein and in Schedule I, none of the
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner), IPLP, IPT,
Insignia or, to the best of the Purchaser's knowledge, any of the persons
listed on Schedules II, III or IV hereto, or any affiliate of the foregoing,
(i) beneficially owns or has a right to acquire any Units, (ii) has effected
any transaction in the Units in the last 60 days, or (iii) has any contract,
arrangement, understanding or relationship with any other person with respect
to any securities of the Partnership, including, but not limited to, contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the transfer or voting
thereof, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees
of loans, guarantees against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, who is the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and
President of Insignia and a trustee of IPT, beneficially owns approximately 18%
of Insignia's outstanding common stock and, as a result, may be deemed to
beneficially own the Units owned by IPLP.
SECTION 12. SOURCE OF FUNDS. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of
the Managing General Partner) expects that approximately $2,600,000 will be
required to purchase 400 Units, if tendered, and to pay related fees and
expenses. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner)
expects to obtain all of those funds from IPLP, which in turn intends to use
its cash on hand and borrowings from its credit facility with a commercial bank
and financial institution. The Purchaser has not conditioned the Offer on
obtaining financing.
The following is a summary description of the existing credit facility
(the "Facility") provided for the benefit of IPLP pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, dated as of December 30, 1997 (the "Credit Agreement"), among IPLP,
as borrower, Xxxxxx Commercial Paper, Inc., as syndication agent, First Union
National Bank, as administrative agent and the lenders from time to time
parties thereto (the "Lenders"). This summary description does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit
Agreement, a copy of
24
which has been filed as an exhibit to the Purchaser's Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 filed with the Commission.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to
IPLP a revolving credit facility of up to $50 million at any one time
outstanding. Loans under the Facility (the "Loans") may be utilized to finance
certain permitted investments and refinance certain investments made prior to
the date of the Credit Agreement. The Facility matures in a single installment
on December 30, 2000.
Loans bear interest, at IPLP's election, (i) at a rate equal to the
higher of (a) the rate announced from time to time by First Union National Bank
as its base lending rate or (b) the daily effective federal funds rate as
quoted by First Union National Bank; or (ii) at rates based on the London
interbank offered rate, as adjusted for certain reserve and other requirements
applicable to lenders, for one-, two-, three- or six-month periods plus an
interest margin of 2.50%. As of the date hereof, IPT has no outstanding
indebtedness under the Facility.
IPT is obligated to pay a commitment fee at a rate of 0.25% per annum
on the undrawn portion of the Facility. Such commitment fee is payable
quarterly in arrears and calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed
over a 365-day year.
The Loans are subject to mandatory prepayment only to the extent that
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans on any day exceeds the
amount of the Facility then in effect. Voluntary prepayments of the Loans and
voluntary reductions of the Facility are permitted, in whole or in part, at the
option of IPLP in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty,
subject to reimbursement of certain of the Lenders' costs under certain
conditions.
IPLP's obligations under the Facility have been guaranteed by IPT and
such guaranty is secured by a first priority pledge of and security interest in
the capital stock or other equity interests held by IPT in each of the
subsidiaries of IPT which directly or indirectly owns or controls the general
partner interest (including an interest in the Managing General Partner) in any
Real Estate Entity (as defined below) in which IPLP directly or indirectly owns
a limited partner interest (including the Partnership). In addition, the
Facility is secured by a first priority pledge of and security interest in all
limited partnership interests from time to time owned by IPLP and the equity
interests from time to time held by IPLP in any subsidiary of IPLP which itself
owns limited partnership interests. The Credit Agreement defines a "Real Estate
Entity" as any limited partnership, limited liability company, corporation or
other entity which has as its principal business the ownership of real property
or debt secured by real property. Thus, the IPT Partnerships (including the
Partnership) constitute Real Estate Entities for purposes of the Credit
Agreement.
The Facility contains representations and warranties, conditions
precedent, covenants, events of default and other provisions customarily found
in similar transactions.
SECTION 13. BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER.
Affiliation With the Managing General Partner. Since March 7, 1998,
the Managing General Partner (which also serves as the general partner of three
other affiliated public real estate limited partnerships) has been a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of IPT. Prior to that time, the Managing General
Partner was a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of MAE GP Corporation ("MAE GP"),
which in turn was a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Metropolitan Asset
Enhancement L.P., which was an affiliate of IPT and Insignia. Effective March
7, 1998, MAE GP was merged with and into IPT, with IPT being the surviving
entity (the "MAE GP Merger"). In connection with the MAE GP Merger, effective
February 17, 1998, Insignia contributed 33.75 Units owned by it and its
subsidiaries (representing all Units then owned by such entities) to IPLP in
exchange for additional units of partnership interest in IPLP.
25
Determination of Purchase Price. In establishing the Purchase Price,
the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) reviewed
certain publicly available information and certain information made available
to it by the Managing General Partner and its other affiliates, including among
other things: (i) the Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended to date; (ii)
the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1997 and the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended
June 30, 1998; (iii) unaudited results of operations of the Partnership's
properties for the period since the beginning of the Partnership's current
fiscal year; (iv) the operating budgets prepared by IRG and I/ESG with respect
to the Partnership's properties for the year ending December 31, 1998; and (v)
other information obtained by IRG, I/ESG, Insignia and other affiliates in
their capacities as providers of property management, asset management and
partnership administration services to the Partnership. The Purchaser's
determination of the Purchase Price was based on its review and analysis of the
foregoing information, the other financial information and analyses concerning
the Partnership summarized below. In determining the Purchase Price, the
Purchaser did not rely upon any material, non-public information concerning the
Partnership not summarized below or elsewhere in this Offer to Purchase.
Trading History of Units. Secondary market sales activity for the
Units, including privately negotiated sales, has been limited and sporadic.
According to information obtained from the Managing General Partner, from July
1, 1996 to June 30, 1998 an aggregate of 59.75 Units (representing less than
4.9% of the total outstanding Units) was transferred (excluding the Units
transferred by Insignia to IPLP in February 1998) in sale transactions. Set
forth in the table below are the high and low sales prices of Units for the
quarterly periods from July 1, 1996 to June 30, 1998, as reported by the
Managing General Partner and by The Partnership Spectrum, which is an
independent, third-party source. The gross sales prices reported by The
Partnership Spectrum do not necessarily reflect the net sales proceeds received
by sellers of Units, which typically are reduced by commissions and other
secondary market transaction costs to amounts less than the reported prices;
thus the Purchaser does not know whether the information compiled by The
Partnership Spectrum is accurate or complete. The transfer paperwork submitted
to the Managing General Partner often does not include the requested price
information or contains conflicting information as to the actual sales price;
accordingly, Limited Partners should not rely upon this information as being
completely accurate.

(a) Although the Managing General Partner requests and records information on
the prices at which Units are sold, it does not regularly receive or
maintain information regarding the bid or asked quotations of secondary
market makers, if any. The Managing General Partner processes transfers of
Units 4 times per year - on the first day of each calendar quarter. The
prices in the table are based solely on information provided to the
Managing General Partner by sellers and buyers of Units transferred in
sale transactions (i.e., excluding transactions believed to result from
the death of a Limited Partner, rollover to an IRA account, establishment
of a trust, trustee to trustee transfers, termination of a benefit plan,
distributions from a qualified or non-qualified plan, uniform gifts,
abandonment of Units or similar non-sale transactions).
(b) The gross sales prices reported by The Partnership Spectrum do not
necessarily reflect the net sales proceeds received by sellers of Units,
which typically are reduced by commissions and other secondary market
transaction costs to amounts less than the reported prices. The Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) does not know
whether the information compiled by The Partnership Spectrum is accurate
or complete.
(c) No Units were reported by The Partnership Spectrum as having been sold
during the quarter.
The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner)
believes that, although secondary market sales information probably is not a
reliable measure of value because of the limited and inefficient nature of the
market for Units, this information may be relevant to a Limited Partner's
decision as to whether to tender its Units pursuant to the Offer. At present,
privately negotiated sales and sales through intermediaries (e.g., through the
trading system operated by American Partnership Board, Inc., which publishes
sell offers by holders of Units) are the only means available to a Limited
Partner to liquidate an investment in Units (other than the Offer) because the
Units are not listed or traded on any exchange or quoted on NASDAQ.
Estimate of Net Asset Value in Connection with the MAE GP Merger. In
connection with the MAE GP Merger (as described in Section 11), IPT estimated
the net asset value of a Unit to be $10,690. This net asset value estimate was
based on a hypothetical sale of all of the Partnership's properties and the
distribution to the Limited Partners, the Managing General Partner and the
other general partners of the gross proceeds of such sales, net of related
indebtedness, together with the Partnership's cash, proceeds from temporary
investments, and all other assets that are believed to have liquidation value,
after provision in full for all of the Partnership's other known liabilities.
This net asset value estimate did not take into account (i) timing
considerations or (ii) costs associated with winding up the Partnership.
Therefore, the Purchaser believes that IPT's estimate of the net asset value of
a Unit prepared in connection with the MAE GP Merger does not necessarily
represent either the fair market value of a Unit or the amount a Limited
Partner reasonably could expect to receive if the Partnership's properties were
sold and the Partnership was liquidated. For this reason, the Purchaser
considered such net asset value estimate to be less meaningful in determining
the Purchase Price than the pro forma liquidation analysis described below.
Managing General Partner's Estimates of Net Asset Value. An affiliate
of the Managing General Partner prepared an estimate of the Partnership's net
asset value per Unit in connection with an offer to purchase up to 4.9% of the
outstanding Units commenced by a party unaffiliated with the Purchaser, IPLP,
IPT or Insignia in August 1998. That estimate of the Partnership's net asset
value per Unit as of June 30, 1998 was $11,182 per Unit. The Managing General
Partner also prepares annual estimates of the Partnership's net asset value per
Unit. The
27
Managing General Partner's three most recent estimates of the Partnership's net
asset value per Unit were $8,779, $10,642 and $10,865 as of December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The Managing General Partner estimates net asset
value based on a hypothetical sale of all of the Partnership's properties and
the distribution to the Limited Partners, the Managing General Partner and the
other general partners of the gross proceeds of such sales, net of related
indebtedness, together with the Partnership's cash, proceeds from temporary
investments, and all other assets that are believed to have liquidation value,
after provision in full for all of the Partnership's other known liabilities.
The net asset value estimates prepared by the Managing General Partner do not
take into account (i) timing considerations or (ii) costs associated with
winding up the Partnership. Therefore, the Purchaser believes that the Managing
General Partner's estimates of net asset value per Unit do not necessarily
represent either the fair market value of a Unit or the amount a Limited
Partner reasonably could expect to receive if the Partnership's properties were
sold and the Partnership was liquidated. For this reason, the Purchaser
considered the Managing General Partner's net asset value estimates to be less
meaningful in determining the Purchase Price than the pro forma liquidation
analysis described below.
Purchaser's Estimate of Gross Real Estate Value. In estimating the
gross real estate value of the Partnership's properties, the Purchaser utilized
the capitalization of income approach for the Partnership's multi-family
properties and the discounted cash flow approach for the Partnership's
commercial property. The estimate of the gross real estate value of the
Partnership's properties prepared by the Purchaser does not purport to be an
estimate of the aggregate fair market value of the Units themselves, nor should
it be viewed as such by Limited Partners. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its
affiliates prepared any estimates of the values of the Partnership's properties
based upon any other valuation method.
The following is a description of the methodology employed by the
Purchaser in preparing such estimates for the value of the residential
properties owned by the Partnership (as used below, "net operating income" is
calculated before depreciation, amortization, debt service payments and certain
capital expenditure items):
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
BIG WALNUT APARTMENTS. In estimating the value of this property, the
Purchaser reviewed the income ($804,861) generated by the property for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 (comprised of $761,855 of gross rental income and
$43,006 of other income), and then deducted from this amount the total
operating expenses of the property for the six months ended 1998 ($368,777),
resulting in the Purchaser's estimated net operating income for the six months
ended 1998 ($436,084). The Purchaser then annualized this amount, resulting in
estimated annual net operating income of $872,168, and then reduced the
estimated annual net operating income amount by $250 per apartment unit,
representing the Purchaser's estimate of the adjustment that would be imputed
by a third party purchaser in underwriting the operating expenses, including
normal replacement reserves, of the property for valuation purposes. Finally,
the Purchaser capitalized its estimate adjusted net operating income amount
($809,418) at a 10% capitalization rate, resulting in an estimated gross
property value of $8,094,180.
LAFONTENAY I AND II APARTMENTS. In estimating the value of this
property, the Purchaser reviewed the income ($913,794) generated by the
property for the six months ended June 30, 1998 (comprised of $813,303 of gross
rental income and $100,491 of other income), and then deducted from this amount
the total operating expenses of the property for the six months ended 1998
($471,923), resulting in the Purchaser's estimate of net operating income for
the six months ended 1998 ($441,871). The Purchaser than annualized this
amount, resulting in estimated annual net operating income of $883,742, and
then increased the estimated annual net operating income amount by $350 per
apartment unit, representing the Purchaser's estimate of the adjustment that
would be imputed by a third party purchaser in underwriting the operating
expenses, including normal replacement reserves, of the property for valuation
purposes. Finally, the Purchaser capitalized its estimated adjusted net
operating income amount ($974,742) at a 10% capitalization rate, resulting in
an estimated gross property value of $9,747,420.
THE TRAILS APARTMENTS. In estimating the value of this property, the
Purchaser reviewed the income ($776,587) generated by the property for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 (comprised of $731,670 of gross rental income and
$44,917 of other income), and then deducted from this amount the total
operating expenses of the property for the six months ended 1998 ($396,367),
resulting in the Purchaser's estimate of net operating income
28
for the six months ended 1998 ($380,220). The Purchaser than annualized this
amount, resulting in estimated annual net operating income of $760,440, and
then increased the estimated annual net operating income amount by $200 per
apartment unit, representing the Purchaser's estimate of the adjustment that
would be imputed by a third party purchaser in underwriting the operating
expenses, including normal replacement reserves, of the property for valuation
purposes. Finally, the Purchaser capitalized its estimated adjusted net
operating income amount ($810,040) at a 9.25% capitalization rate, resulting in
an estimated gross property value of $8,757,189.
GREENSPRINGS MANOR APARTMENTS. In estimating the value of this
property, the Purchaser reviewed the income ($1,253,460) generated by the
property for the six months ended June 30, 1998 (comprised of $1,160,648 of
gross rental income and $92,812 of other income), and then deducted from this
amount the total operating expenses of the property for the six months ended
1998 ($821,627), resulting in the Purchaser's estimate of net operating income
for the six months ended 1998 ($431,833). The Purchaser than annualized this
amount, resulting in estimated annual net operating income of $863,666, and
then increased the estimated annual net operating income amount by $250 per
apartment unit, representing the Purchaser's estimate of the adjustment that
would be imputed by a third party purchaser in underwriting the operating
expenses, including normal replacement reserves, of the property for valuation
purposes. Finally, the Purchaser capitalized its estimated adjusted net
operating income amount ($1,009,166) at a 10% capitalization rate, resulting in
an estimated gross property value of $10,091,660.
COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
The following is a description of the methodology employed by the
Purchaser in preparing the estimate of the value of the commercial property
owned by the Partnership.
SHOPPES AT RIVER ROCK. In estimating the value of this property, the
Purchaser performed the following analysis. The Purchaser calculated estimated
annual cash flow through December 31, 2007 based on various assumptions,
including, among others, (i) market rents at various points in time, as
adjusted for inflation, (ii) lease expiration dates and renewal rates for
existing tenants, (iii) tenant improvement allowances for new leases and lease
renewals and (iv) length of new leases. The Purchaser, in order to arrive at a
present value of the estimated annual cash flows for years one through ten,
utilized the estimated annual cash flow for year one and applied a discount
rate of 13.5% in order to determine the present value of the estimated annual
cash flows for each of years two through ten. Next, the Purchaser capitalized
the estimated net operating income amount for each of years one through ten at
a 10.5% capitalization rate, then subtracted 4% for estimated sale transaction
costs, resulting in an estimated net liquidation value for the property for
each of years one through ten. The Purchaser, in order to arrive at a present
value of the estimated net liquidation value for years one through ten,
utilized the estimated net liquidation value for year one and applied a
discount rate of 13.5% in order to determine the present value of the estimated
net liquidation values for each of years two through ten. The Purchaser then
calculated an annual property value for each of the ten years based on the sum
of the present values of (A) estimated cash flow and (B) estimated net
liquidation value. Finally, the Purchaser totalled the annual property values
for each of the ten years and then divided that amount by ten, resulting in an
estimated property value of $5,527,329. The Managing General Partner has
advised the Purchaser that it is currently marketing the property for sale and
expects the property to be sold for approximately $4,000,000. The Purchaser
therefore has used this number in its valuation of the property.
* * *
Based on the individual estimates of the gross values of the
Partnership's properties described above, the Purchaser estimated that the
current aggregate gross real estate value of the Partnership's properties is
$40,690,449 (the "Gross Real Estate Value Estimate"). The property-specific
capitalization rates (residential properties) and the discount rate (commercial
property) used by the Purchaser in the valuation estimates described above were
based upon the Purchaser's, IPT's and Insignia's general knowledge of the
revenues and expenses associated with operating residential and commercial
properties in the markets in which the Partnership's properties are located,
their general knowledge of property values in those markets and their
experience in the real estate market in general.
Although there are several other methods of estimating the value of
real estate of these types, the Purchaser believes that these approaches
represent reasonable methods of estimating the aggregate gross value of the
29
Partnership's properties (without taking into account the costs of disposing of
the residential properties), subject to the substantial uncertainties inherent
in any estimate of value. The use of other assumptions, however, particularly
as to the applicable capitalization rate, could produce substantially different
results. In valuing the commercial property owned by the Partnership, the
Purchaser employed a discounted cash flow analysis based on software programs
traditionally used and determined as reasonable by others in the industry, such
as "Argus" or "Project." This method relies on a number of assumptions
including, among others, (i) rental rates for new leases and lease renewals,
(ii) tenant improvement allowances for new leases and lease renewals, (iii)
brokers' commissions, (iv) lease periods, (v) capital expenditures and (vi)
discount rates applied to future cash flows. The use of assumptions or
variables that differ from those described above, particularly the applicable
discount rate, could produce substantially different results. None of the
Purchaser, IPT or Insignia solicited any offers or inquiries from prospective
buyers of the Partnership's properties in connection with preparing the
Purchaser's estimates of the fair market values of those properties, and the
actual amounts for which the Partnership's properties might be sold could be
significantly higher or significantly lower than the Purchaser's estimates.
The Gross Real Estate Value Estimate does not take into account (i)
the debt encumbering the Partnership's properties or the other liabilities of
the Partnership, (ii) cash and other assets held by the Partnership, (iii) real
estate transaction costs that would be incurred on a sale of the Partnership's
residential properties, such as brokerage commissions and other selling and
closing expenses, (iv) timing considerations or (v) costs associated with
winding up the Partnership. For this reason, the Purchaser considers the Gross
Real Estate Value Estimate to be less meaningful in evaluating the Purchase
Price offered by the Purchaser than its pro forma estimate of the net
liquidation value per Unit described below.
Purchaser's Pro Forma Estimate of Net Liquidation Value per Unit. The
Purchaser is offering to purchase Units, which are a relatively illiquid
investment, and is not offering to purchase the Partnership's underlying assets
or assume any of its liabilities. Consequently, the Purchaser does not believe
that the per-Unit amount which might be distributed to Limited Partners
following a future sale of all the Partnership's properties necessarily
reflects the present fair value of a Unit. Conversely, the realizable value of
the Partnership's assets clearly is a relevant factor in determining the price
a prudent purchaser would offer for Units. In considering this factor, the
Purchaser made a pro forma calculation of the amount each Limited Partner might
receive in a theoretical orderly liquidation of the Partnership (which may not
be realistically possible, particularly in the near term, due to real estate
market conditions, the general difficulty of disposing of real estate in a
short period of time, and other general economic factors), based on the Gross
Real Estate Value Estimate (as described above) and the other considerations
described below. The Purchaser based its pro forma liquidation analysis on the
Gross Real Estate Value Estimate (and thus on the Purchaser's estimate of the
values of the Partnership's properties described above) as opposed to the
values estimated by IPT in connection with the MAE GP Merger or by the Managing
General Partner (each, as described above), because the Purchaser believes that
the Gross Real Estate Value Estimate represents the best estimate, based on
currently available information, of the values of the Partnership's properties.
In estimating the pro forma net liquidation value per Unit, the
Purchaser adjusted its Gross Real Estate Value Estimate of $40,690,449 to
reflect the Partnership's other assets and liabilities (excluding prepaid and
deferred expenses and security deposits). Specifically, the Purchaser added the
amounts of cash, accounts receivable and escrow deposits shown on the
Partnership's unaudited balance sheet at June 30, 1998 ($2,345,000), and
subtracted the mortgage debt encumbering the Partnership's properties
($26,517,000) and all other liabilities shown on that balance sheet
($1,516,000). The Purchaser then deducted $1,627,618 representing a reserve
equal to 4% of the Gross Real Estate Value Estimate (which represents the
Purchaser's estimate of the probable costs of brokerage commissions, real
estate transfer taxes and other disposition expenses). The result, $13,374,831,
represents the Purchaser's pro forma estimate of the aggregate net liquidation
proceeds (before provision for the costs described in the following sentence)
which could be realized on an orderly liquidation of the Partnership, based on
the assumptions implicit in the calculations described above. The Purchaser did
not, however, deduct any amounts in respect of the legal and other costs which
the Purchaser expects would be incurred in a liquidation, including costs of
negotiating purchase and sale contracts, possibly conducting a consent
solicitation in order to obtain the Limited Partners' approvals for the sales
as may be required by the Limited Partnership Agreement, and winding up the
Partnership, because of the difficulty of estimating those amounts.
30
To complete its pro forma estimate of the amount of the theoretical
liquidation proceeds that would be distributable per Unit, the Purchaser
divided the estimated net liquidation proceeds of $13,374,831 by the 1,224.25
Units reported as outstanding by the Managing General Partner as of August 1,
1998. The resulting estimated pro forma liquidation value was $10,924.92 per
Unit (the "Estimated Liquidation Value"), before provision for the legal and
other costs of liquidating the Partnership described in the last sentence of
the preceding paragraph.
The Purchaser's pro forma liquidation analysis described above is
merely theoretical and does not itself reflect the value of the Units because
(i) there is no assurance that any such liquidation in fact will occur in the
foreseeable future and (ii) any liquidation in which the estimated fair market
values described above might be realized would take an extended period of time
(at least a year, and quite possibly significantly longer), during which time
the Partnership and its partners would continue to be exposed to the risk of
fluctuations in asset values because of changing market conditions and other
factors. For any property sales in which the Partnership is required to
indemnify the buyer for matters arising after the closing, a portion of the
sales proceeds could be held by the Partnership until all possible claims are
satisfied, further extending the delay in the receipt by the Limited Partners
of liquidation proceeds. In light of these factors, the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) believes the actual current value of
the Units is substantially less than its estimate of the Estimated Liquidation
Value. Conversely, there is a substantial possibility that the per-Unit value
realized in an orderly liquidation could be greater than the Estimated
Liquidation Value. A reduction in either operating expenses or capital
expenditures from the levels reflected in the property operating statements for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 would result in a higher liquidation value
under the method described above. Similarly, a higher liquidation value would
result if a buyer applied lower capitalization rates for the Partnership's
residential properties or a lower discount rate for the Partnership's
commercial property (reflecting a willingness to accept a lower rate of return
on its investment) to the applicable net operating income generated by the
Partnership's properties than the capitalization rates and discount rate, as
the case may be, applied by the Purchaser. For example, a 5% increase or
decrease in the value of the Partnership's properties would produce a
corresponding increase or decrease in the Estimated Liquidation Value of
approximately $1,595 per Unit. Furthermore, the analysis described above is
based on a series of assumptions, some of which may not be correct.
Accordingly, this analysis should be viewed merely as indicative of the
Purchaser's approach to valuing Units and not as predictive of the likely
result of any future transactions.
Litigation. On March 24, 1998, certain persons claiming to own limited
partner interests in certain limited partnerships (including the Partnership)
whose general partners (the "General Partners") are affiliates of Insignia (the
"Partnerships") filed a purported class and derivative action in California
Superior Court in the County of San Mateo (the "San Mateo Complaint") against
Insignia, the General Partners (including the Managing General Partner),
certain persons and entities who purportedly formerly controlled the General
Partners, and additional entities affiliated with and individuals who are
officers, directors and/or principals of several of the defendants. The San
Mateo Complaint contains allegations that, among other things, (i) the
defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the plaintiffs by selling or
agreeing to sell their "fiduciary positions" as stockholders, officers and
directors of the General Partners for a profit and retaining said profit rather
than distributing it to the plaintiffs; (ii) the defendants breached their
fiduciary duties by mismanaging the Partnerships and misappropriating the
assets of the Partnerships by (a) manipulating the operations of the
Partnerships to depress the trading price of limited partnership units (the
"Units") of the Partnerships; (b) coercing and fraudulently inducing
unitholders to sell Units to certain of the defendants at depressed prices; and
(c) using the voting control obtained by purchasing Units at depressed prices
to entrench certain of the defendants' positions of control over the
Partnerships; and (iii) the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the
plaintiffs by (a) selling assets of the Partnerships such as mailing lists of
unitholders; and (b) causing the General Partners to enter into exclusive
arrangements with their affiliates to sell goods and services to the General
Partners, the unitholders and tenants of Partnership properties. The San Mateo
Complaint also alleges that the foregoing allegations constitute violations of
various California securities, corporate and partnership statutes, as well as
conversion and common law fraud. The San Mateo Complaint seeks unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages, an injunction blocking the sale of control
of the General Partners to AIMCO and a court order directing the defendants to
discharge their fiduciary duties to the plaintiffs. On June 25, 1998, the
Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In
lieu of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs have filed an amended
complaint. IPT and Insignia believe that the allegations contained in the San
Mateo Complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously contest the
plaintiffs' action.
31
On July 30, 1998, certain entities claiming to own limited partnership
interests in certain limited partnerships (including the Partnership) whose
general partners are affiliates of Insignia, IPT and the Purchaser (the
"Affiliated General Partners") filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the
State of California, County of Los Angeles (the "Los Angeles Complaint")
against Insignia, the Subject Partnerships (defined below), the Affiliated
General Partners (including the Managing General Partner) and additional
entities affiliated with several of the defendants. The action involves 44 real
estate limited partnerships (each named as a defendant) in which the plaintiffs
allegedly own interests and which Insignia affiliates allegedly manage or
control (the "Subject Partnerships"). Plaintiffs allege that they have
requested from, but have been denied by each of the Subject Partnerships, lists
of their respective limited partners for the purpose of making tender offers to
purchase up to 4.9% of the units of limited partnership interest in each of the
Subject Partnerships. The Los Angeles Complaint also alleges that certain of
the defendants made tender offers to purchase units of limited partnership
interest in many of the Subject Partnerships, with the alleged result that
plaintiffs have been deprived of the benefits they would have realized from
ownership of the additional units. The plaintiffs assert eleven causes of
action, including breach of contract, unfair business practices, and violations
of the partnership statutes of the states in which the Subject Partnerships are
organized. Plaintiffs seek compensatory, punitive and treble damages. Insignia
was only recently served with the Los Angeles Complaint and has not yet
responded to it. Xxxxxxxx believes the claims to be without merit and intends
to defend the action vigorously.
SECTION 14. CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER. Notwithstanding any other term of
the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) will not be required to accept for payment or to pay for any Units

other term of the Offer and in addition to the Purchaser's right to withdraw
the Offer at any time before the Expiration Date, the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) will not be required to accept for
payment or pay for any Units not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for
and may terminate or amend the Offer as to such Units if, at any time on or

consequences referred to in clauses (i) through (v) of paragraph (a) above;
(c) any change or development shall have occurred or been threatened
since the date of the Offer to Purchase, in the business, properties, assets,
liabilities, financial condition, operations, results of operations or

32
(d) there shall have occurred (i) any general suspension of trading

(e) it shall have been publicly disclosed or the Purchaser (which is
an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) shall have otherwise learned that
(i) more than ten percent of the outstanding Units have been or are proposed to
be acquired by another person (including a "group" within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or (ii) any person or group that prior
to such date had filed a Statement with the Commission pursuant to Section
13(d) or (g) of the Exchange Act has increased or proposes to increase the
number of Units beneficially owned by such person or group as disclosed in such
Statement by two percent or more of the outstanding Units.
The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) and may be asserted by
the Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such conditions or
may be waived by the Purchaser in whole or in part at any time and from time to
time in its sole discretion. Any determination by the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) concerning the events described
above will be final and binding upon all parties.
SECTION 15. CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS.
General. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) is not aware of any filings, approvals or other actions by any
domestic or foreign governmental or administrative agency that would be
required prior to the acquisition of Units by the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) pursuant to the Offer, other than
the filing of a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 with the Commission
(which has already been filed) and any required amendments thereto. Should any
such approval or other action be required, it is the Purchaser's present
intention that such additional approval or action would be sought. Although
there is no present intent to delay the purchase of Units tendered pursuant to
the Offer pending receipt of any such additional approval or the taking of any
such action, there can be no assurance that any such additional approval or
action, if needed, would be obtained without substantial conditions or that
adverse consequences might not result to the Partnership's business, or that
certain parts of the Partnership's business might not have to be disposed of or
other substantial conditions complied with in order to obtain such approval or
action, any of which could cause the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) to elect to terminate the Offer without purchasing
Units thereunder.
Antitrust. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner) does not believe that the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition of Units
contemplated by the Offer.
Margin Requirements. The Units are not "margin securities" under the
regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and,
accordingly, those regulations generally are not applicable to the Offer.
SECTION 16. FEES AND EXPENSES. Except as set forth in this Section 16,
the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) will not
pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer or other person for
soliciting tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer. The Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) has retained Beacon Hill Partners,
Inc. to act as Information Agent and Xxxxxx Trust Company of New York to act as
Depositary in connection with the Offer. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate
of the Managing General Partner) will pay the Information Agent and the
Depositary reasonable and customary compensation for
33
their respective services in connection with the Offer, plus reimbursement for
out-of-pocket expenses, and has agreed to indemnify the Information Agent and
the Depositary against certain liabilities and expenses in connection
therewith, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. The
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) will also pay
all costs and expenses of printing and mailing the Offer and its legal fees and
expenses.
SECTION 17. MISCELLANEOUS. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) is not aware of any jurisdiction in which the making
of the Offer is not in compliance with applicable law. If the Purchaser (which
is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) becomes aware of any
jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer would not be in compliance with
applicable law, the Purchaser will make a good faith effort to comply with any
such law. If, after such good faith effort, the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) cannot comply with any such law, the
Offer will not be made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of)
Limited Partners residing in such jurisdiction. In those jurisdictions whose
securities or blue sky laws require the Offer to be made by a licensed broker
or dealer, the Offer will be deemed to be made on behalf of the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) by one or more
registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of that jurisdiction.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representation on behalf of the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) not contained in this Offer to Purchase or in the
Assignment of Partnership Interest and, if given or made, such information or
representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized.
The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner),
IPLP, IPT and Insignia have filed with the Commission a Tender Offer Statement
on Schedule 14D-1, pursuant to Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act, furnishing
certain additional information with respect to the Offer, and may file
amendments thereto. The Schedule 14D-1 and any amendments thereto, including
exhibits, may be inspected and copies may be obtained at the same places and in
the same manner as set forth in Section 9 (except that they will not be
available at the regional offices of the Commission).
