1.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters

Description of the Partnership

Tower Park Marina Investors, L.P. (formerly PS Marina Investors I), a California Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), was organized under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act, pursuant to a Certificate of Limited Partnership filed on January 6, 1988 to acquire, own, and operate and to a lesser extent, develop marina facilities.

The General Partners in the Partnership are Westrec Investors, Inc. (formerly PS Marina Investors, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westrec Properties, Inc. (“Westrec”), and B. Wayne Hughes, a shareholder of Westrec until June 1990. Effective March 1, 1997, the limited partners approved the substitution of Tower Park Marina Operating Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westrec Financial, Inc., for Mr. Hughes.

The Partnership was formed to sell a maximum of 12,000 units of limited partnership interest at $5,000 per unit ($60,000,000). The General Partners have contributed a total of $1,000. On November 27, 1989, the Partnership’s offering was terminated with 4,508 units issued, resulting in $22,540,000 of limited partner funds being raised (before commission discount of $3,000 granted to an investor). Half of each Limited Partner’s total capital contribution was deferred. The final installment was due on August 1, 1990, and $27,000 of such deferrals remain outstanding.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements of Tower Park Marina Investors, LP at June 30, 2014 and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and have been prepared pursuant to Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Tower Park Marina

Tower Park Marina is stated at cost to the Partnership. Provision for depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method. Depreciable lives for the major asset categories are as follows:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from slip rentals and dry storage are recognized over the length of the contract term. Fuel service revenues are recognized at point of sale.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Offering and Organization Costs

Costs incurred in preparing Partnership documents, prospectuses and any other sales literature, costs incurred in qualifying the units for sale under federal and state securities laws and costs incurred in marketing the units have been charged to the limited partners’ equity to the extent the total does not exceed 5% of the gross proceeds of the offering. The amount by which these organization and registration costs exceeded 5% of the gross proceeds of the offering were borne by Westrec Investors, Inc.

Cash Distributions

The General Partners interest in Cash Flow from Operations (as defined) and Cash from Sales or Refinancing (as defined) is 1%.

Allocations of Net Income or Loss

As set forth in the Partnership Agreement, net income and net loss shall be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

Earnings Per Unit

Per unit data is based on the weighted average number of the Limited Partnership units outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013; 4,508.

Taxes Based on Income

Taxes based on income are the responsibility of the individual partners and, accordingly, are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all amounts on deposit in interest bearing and non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts as well as highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters (continued)

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are reported using a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1

  

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

  

Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3

  

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At each reporting period, we perform a detailed analysis of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. All assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs or instruments which trade infrequently and therefore have little or no price transparency are classified as Level 3.

The Partnership has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date. The Partnership has no non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.

The Partnership believes that the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters (continued)

 

Concentration of Credit Risk.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalent deposits in excess of federally insured limits. From time to time the Partnership may have bank deposits in excess of federally insured limits. The Partnership evaluates these excess deposits, and transfers amounts to other banks if it considers such transfers necessary.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There were no new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact or have other potential material significance to the Partnership.

 

2.

Tower Park Marina

On March 27, 2007, the Partnership completed the sale of substantially all the assets of Tower Park Marina and RV Park to Kampgrounds of America (“KOA”) for $13,500,000 in cash. Net cash received was reduced to $13,459,000 due to property taxes and closing costs borne by the Partnership amounting to $41,000. The assets sold included the land and improvements known as Tower Park Marina, the Partnership’s 51% interest in the Little Potato Slough Mutual Water Company, the Partnership’s leasehold interest in the lease between the California State Land Commission (as landlord) and the Partnership (as tenant), dated as of January 14, 1999, approximately 100 acres of undeveloped land, and certain personal property associated with the foregoing. The gain was further reduced by $416,000 of deferred maintenance repairs identified by KOA. The Partnership agreed to make these repairs over the next several years. As of June 30, 2014, $307,000 has been spent towards this commitment.

The Partnership recognized a gain of $8,117,000 and deferred gain of $2,152,000 from the sale. The proceeds from the sale were used primarily to repay the Partnership’s note payable and the payable to affiliates, and in April 2007, the Partnership made a distribution of $3,642,000 to its partners.

In connection with the sale, the existing lease agreement between KOA and the Partnership, under which the Partnership had leased the RV Park and retail store at Tower Park Marina to KOA, was terminated. Pursuant to a new lease, KOA leased back to the Partnership the marina facilities and dry storage buildings that make up a portion of the property that was sold. In accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases, $2,152,000 of the gain from the sale was deferred and is being amortized as a reduction in rent expense over the ten-year term of the lease agreement. The amount of the gain that was deferred was based on the Partnership’s ten year lease commitment, discounted at 10%. For each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, $108,000 of the deferred gain from the sale was amortized, and is reflected in cost of operations. The remaining unamortized gain balance at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is $591,000 and $699,000, respectively.

Related Party Transactions

The Partnership has an agreement with Westrec Marina Management, Inc., an affiliate of Westrec, to manage the day-to-day operations of the marina for a fee equal to 6% of the marina’s monthly gross revenues (as defined in the agreement). Management fees for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $27,000 and $25,000, respectively.

In connection with their services in negotiating and obtaining permanent financing from an unaffiliated lender, the General Partners or their affiliates are entitled to receive an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of the financing or refinancing, less any fees paid to other loan brokers. No loan brokerage fees were paid to the General Partners or their affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2014 or for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

5.

Commitments and Contingencies

The operations at Tower Park Marina are influenced by factors that affect the boating industry both locally and nationally, with activity at Tower Park Marina increasing seasonally during the period April through October of each year.

The Partnership operates a portion of Tower Park Marina on approximately 14 acres of waterfront property under a lease with the California State Land Commission (the “CSLC Lease”). As mentioned in Note 2 above, the Partnership’s leasehold interest in the CSLC Lease was sold to KOA on March 27, 2007.

In 2013, KOA agreed to reduce the Partnership’s current lease expense. Effective March 1, 2013, the monthly lease payment was reduced from $29,692 to $16,667. The Partnership will make an additional payment (“Percentage Rent”) to KOA calculated as follows: 30% of Gross Profit between $800,000 and $900,000, plus 40% of Gross Profit between $900,000 and $1,000,000, plus 50% of Gross Profit in excess of $1,000,000. The maximum Percentage Rent payable for any calendar year is $250,000. Included in lease expense in cost of operations is $100,000 and $126,000, respectively, paid to KOA for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Also included in lease expense in cost of operations is $20,000, related to the CSLC lease for each of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Segment Reporting

The Partnership has been aggregated into three reportable business segments (Slip rental, Dry storage and Fuel service): Slip rental reports the water-based boat Slip rentals and Dry storage reports the land based boat storage operations at the marina. The Fuel service segment reports the operations of the fuel dock at the marina.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in summary of significant accounting policies. The Partnership evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on income from operations before depreciation and amortization.

Summarized financial information concerning the Partnership’s reportable segments is shown in the following table. The “other” line item includes results of insignificant operations and as it relates to segment profit (loss), income and expenses not allocated to reportable segments.

401(k) Plan

The Partnership sponsors a 401(k) Plan (the Plan) which is a qualified defined contribution plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Full time employees who are at least 21 years of age and have completed one year of service, are eligible to participate in the Plan. Participants of the Plan may choose to contribute up to 50% of their compensation per year, as defined by the Plan, up to a maximum of $17,500 for each of the calendar years 2014 and 2013. The Partnership may match up to 50% of the employee’s quarterly contribution up to $1,250 per year. The Partnership’s matching contribution for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $300 for each period.

“Rollover Contributions” from other qualified plans are accepted by the Plan. The Partnership does not match contributions of this type.

 

8.

Going Concern

Despite the successful restructuring of the lease with KOA, the Partnership’s marina is not generating satisfactory levels of cash flows and cash flow projections do not indicate significant improvement in the near term. In addition, the Partnership’s liabilities exceed its assets. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Partnership’s ability to meet its financial obligations going forward and to continue as a going concern. The Partnership’s ability to continue to operate through 2014 and beyond is contingent on, among other factors, improvement in the economy and a resulting improvement in Tower Park Marina operations. Management is actively working to improve operating results at the property with staffing reductions and changes in operating procedures. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Partnership to continue as a going concern.

 

9.

Subsequent Events

The Partnership has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements filed on Form 10-Q with the SEC and no events have occurred that require disclosure.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes certain “forward-looking statements”. These statements are usually identified by the use of words such as “believe”, “will”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “plan”, “intend”, “should”, “could”, or similar expressions. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward looking statements contained in this report are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory factors. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

As discussed in greater detail below, the Partnership’s sole remaining property, Tower Park Marina, was sold to KOA on March 27, 2007. In connection with that sale, the Partnership agreed to lease the marina components of the property for 10 years.

The operations of Tower Park Resort are influenced by factors affecting the marina and boating industries nationally, as well as by local market and weather conditions. As a result of poor economic conditions in California, the demand for both wet and dry storage continues to decline. Since the sale of the property in 2007, the Partnership has seen the occupancy of the permanent wet slips decline from 95% in March 2007 to 80% as of June 30, 2014. Dry storage has suffered similarly. In order to attract new customers, the marina has been forced to run promotions and discount its slip and dry storage rates significantly. The lower occupancy rates at Tower Park Resort are consistent with those experienced by other marinas in the area.

In an effort to partially offset the lower revenues that were being generated, operating hours have been reduced during the off-season, and the marina is only open 5 days a week. These reductions have resulted in decreasing payroll and other operating costs. The Partnership’s monthly lease payment to KOA increased in March of 2012; from $25,000 per month to $29,692 which translated to $56,304 of additional lease expense annually. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Partnership has renegotiated the lease payment in an effort to improve cash flow from the property. Effective March 1, 2013, the monthly lease payment was reduced from $29,692 to $16,667, which has had a positive effect on the property’s operating results and cash flow.

Another drain on cash flow for the Partnership is the increasing audit costs and SEC filing requirements and costs associated with the administration of the Partnership.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

The revenues and expenses of the Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are generated from the marina and dry storage operations of Tower Park in the Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta near Sacramento. As of June 30, Tower Park Marina had the following occupancies:

 

     2014     2013  
     Available     Occupied     Available     Occupied  

Wet slips

     220 (1)      86.4     232 (1)      78.4

Dry storage

     147        73.5     149        65.7

 

  (1)

non-transient slips only

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from operations for Tower Park improved, increasing $27,000 to $490,000. Despite inclement weather in Northern California in the first quarter of 2014, occupancies improved at the marina. Slip rental and dry storage revenues increased $9,000 and $2,000, respectively. Gasoline and diesel prices remain extremely competitive in the area, however, the property was able to increase fuel revenues by $12,000 over the prior year, and improve overall fuel margins. As prices remain high throughout the area, customers have become more price sensitive. Nonetheless, the marina has seen improvement.

The Partnership’s net profit from operations of $94,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is a $37,000 improvement over the same period a year ago. The Partnership successfully renegotiated its lease with KOA effective March 1, 2013, which accounts for $26,000 of the improvement for the six months ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the Partnership continues to look for ways to improve operations, including promotions to reward long-term slip-lease contracts.

The Partnership’s cash balance increased $22,000 to $164,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Liquidity and capital resources

The Partnership had a small net profit from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $2,000 (net income/loss before depreciation and amortization of deferred gain).

On March 27, 2007, the Partnership completed the sale of substantially all the assets of Tower Park Marina and RV Park to Kampgrounds of America (“KOA”) for $13,500,000 in cash. The sale requires the Partnership to make approximately $400,000 in repairs to the property and resulted in a gain of approximately $8,117,000 and deferred gain of $2,152,000. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay the Partnership’s note payable and the payable to affiliates. In April 2007, the Partnership made a distribution of $3,642,000 to its partners.

Liquidity and capital resources ( continued)

 

As part of the sale, the Partnership agreed to lease back the marina and dry storage facilities that comprise a portion of the property. The lease has an initial term of ten years and three five (5) year options to extend. The lease required minimum monthly payments of $25,000 for the first five years. The monthly lease payment to KOA was increased in March 2012 to $29,692 per month. The lease was restructured effective March 1, 2013 by reducing the minimum monthly rent payment to $16,667 and paying a percentage rent. (See Note 5). The Partnership is also required to reimburse KOA approximately $40,000 for its annual obligations with respect to the CSLC lease. In addition, the Partnership is required to spend a minimum of $50,000 per year on maintenance repairs and improvements. These contractual obligations are summarized below:

The Partnership had a remaining cash balance of $164,000 as of June 30, 2014. However, despite the reduction of rent due on the lease with KOA, and continued efforts to reduce costs, the Partnership continues to operate at a deficit, its cash balance continues to decline, and its liabilities exceed its current cash and accounts receivable balances. These trends, in conjunction with escalating audit and SEC filing costs and requirements raise substantial doubt about the Partnership’s ability to meet its financial obligations going forward, and to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. All Partnership transactions are payable in U.S. dollars. The Partnership holds most of its cash in a money market account. We do not consider the effects of interest rate movements to be a material risk to our financial condition. We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Partnership has evaluated, with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in such rules) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in reports prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.

Our management, including the Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Partnership have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

No changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. The Partnership continues to review its disclosure controls and procedures, including its internal controls over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that the Partnership’s systems evolve with its business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the factors discussed in Item 1A of the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2013 should be considered when evaluating the Partnership’s business, financial position, future results, and prospects. Although there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the risks described therein are not the only risks facing the Partnership. Additional risks that are not presently known or that management currently believes are not material could also materially adversely affect the Partnership’s business, financial position, future results and prospects.

No legal actions have been brought against the Partnership as a result of the loans that were made to, and repaid by, the General Partner. In the event of such action, all legal and other costs incurred by the Partnership would be reimbursed by the General Partner, and would not result in any cost to the Partnership.
