Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

March 31, 2017 and 2016

(Unaudited)

 

 

General

 

Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in the Partnership's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 0-13545) filed on March 15, 2017, as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this quarterly report have the same meanings as in the Partnership's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

JMB/245 Park Avenue Associates, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), through JMB 245 Park Avenue Holding Company, LLC ("245 Park Holding"), owned an approximate .5% general partner interest in Brookfield Financial Properties, L.P. ("BFP, LP"), formerly known as World Financial Properties, L.P. until December 29, 2014. The ownership was represented by 567.375 Class A Units. Business activities consisted primarily of rentals to a variety of commercial companies and the ultimate sale or disposition of such real estate. 245 Park Holding is a limited liability company in which the Partnership is a 99% member and BFP Property GP Corp. ("BFP GP"), which is an affiliate of the managing general partner of BFP, LP, is a 1% member.

 

On December 29, 2014, BFP, LP transferred 48.5% of the membership interests in BFP 245 Park Co., LLC, which owns an indirect interest in the property commonly known as 245 Park Avenue, New York, NY, to BFP-JMB 245 Park, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“BFP/JMB”). Immediately following such transfer, 245 Park’s Holdings’ interest in BFP, LP, as represented by the Class A Units in BFP, LP, was redeemed in exchange for an interest in BFP/JMB represented by Class J shares of BFP/JMB. 245 Park Holding no longer holds any interest in BFP, LP, and its primary asset now consists of its interest in BFP/JMB.

 

Upon execution of the limited partnership agreement of BFP/JMB, BFP, LP made a distribution to 245 Park Holding of approximately $2.53 million, which in turn distributed $2.5 million to the Partnership and $0.3 million to BFP, GP. BFP, LP owns all of the common shares and 245 Park Holding owns all of the Class J shares of BFP/JMB. 245 Park Holding has been deemed to have made a capital contribution and investment for the Class J shares of approximately $7.5 million. The Class J shares will accrue a cumulative annual preferred return of 5% which has a preference on any distributions by BFP/JMB to BFP, LP not attributable to a capital event. The unpaid preferred return and unpaid investment attributable to the Class J shares have a preference on any distributions by BFP/JMB to BFP, LP attributable to a capital event.

 

BFP, LP can cause BFP/JMB to redeem all or any portion of the Class J shares held by 245 Park Holding at any time for a payment equal to any cumulative unpaid preferred return plus the proportionate remaining unpaid investment attributable to the Class J shares, plus, during the initial five years following the transaction, an additional payment as follows: (i) with respect to a redemption on or following December 29, 2016 and prior to December 29, 2017, $3,939,394, (ii) with respect to a redemption on or following December 29, 2017 and prior to December 29, 2018, $2,626,263, (iii) with respect to a redemption on or following December 29, 2018 and prior to December 29, 2019, $1,313,131 and (iv) with respect to a redemption on or following December 29, 2019, $0. At any time thereafter, 245 Park Holding can cause BFP/JMB to redeem all or any portion of the Class J shares at any time for a payment equal to any cumulative unpaid preferred return plus the proportionate remaining unpaid investment attributable to the Class J shares.

 

As previously disclosed, BFP, LP marketed for sale its interest in the 245 Park Avenue property. On May 5, 2017 the sale occurred.

 

As a consequence and under the terms of the December 29, 2014 Partnership Agreement, in a May 2, 2017 Redemption Notice, the Board of Managers of BFP/JMB issued a notice to 245 Park Holding directing BFP/JMB to redeem all of the outstanding Class J Units of 245 Park Holding. The Redemption Notice provided that on May 5, 2017 (the “Redemption Date”) the Board of Managers of BFP/JMB would cause BFP/JMB to redeem 7,481,180 Class J Units, as of May 2, 2017. The dollar amount of the unpaid preferred capital that will be redeemed pursuant to the redemption is equal to $7,481,180. On the Redemption Date, BFP/JMB distributed to 245 Park Holding the sum of (a) the Redemption Amount plus (b) the Unpaid Preferred Return from the date of its Redemption Notice through and including the Redemption Date on the Class J Units being redeemed. As a result, the Partnership received its 99% of the redemption amount of $7,481,180, plus an additional $3,939,394 or an approximate total of $11,400,000, which will be recognized as income for financial reporting purposes. Such funds are available, among other things, to retire its indebtedness, pay operating costs and those costs related to the termination of its affairs and pay a distribution to, or make any required tax withholding payments on behalf of, Holders.

 

As a result of the sale and redemption, it is expected that Holders of Interests will be allocated a substantial amount of gain for Federal and state income tax purposes. The amount of gain for Federal and state income tax purposes is expected to be, at a minimum, equal to all or most of the amount of such Holder’s deficit capital account, as of December 31, 2016, for tax purposes. For each Holder, such gain may be offset by suspended losses from prior years (if any) that have been allocated to the Holder of Interests. The Partnership cannot determine the ultimate tax liability of each such Holder and each Holder is encouraged to seek tax advice relative to its liability. The actual tax liability of each such Holder of Interests will depend on such Holder’s individual tax situation.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its majority-owned limited liability company, 245 Park Holding. The effect of all transactions between the Partnership and its consolidated venture has been eliminated.

 

 

The Partnership discontinued the application of the equity method of accounting, recorded its investment at zero, and no longer recognizes its share of earnings or losses from BFP, LP or BFP/JMB, because the Partnership has no future funding obligations to BFP, LP or BFP/JMB, and has no influence or control over the day-to-day affairs of BFP, LP or BFP/JMB.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported or disclosed amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Before the sale of the property, the Partnership's future liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern was dependent upon JMB for continued advances and the receipt of the cumulative annual preferred return on the Class J shares of BFP/JMB. JMB's advances, as well as consolidated balances from prior notes, are evidenced by a demand note (the "Demand Note"), dated December 1, 2004, which Demand Note is secured by the Partnership's indirect interest in BFP/JMB. JMB is under no obligation to make further advances and has the right to require repayment of the Demand Note together with accrued and unpaid interest at any time. This uncertainty and the fact that the Partnership has a net capital deficiency raised substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments to these consolidated financial statements for this uncertainty have been made.

 

Transactions with Affiliates

 

The operations of the Partnership since 2005 have been primarily funded by cash advances from JMB which totaled $2,157,000 as of March 31, 2017 (of which $30,000 was funded during the three months ended March 31, 2017) and which, together with the amount owed and rolled over from prior notes, are evidenced by the Demand Note. The Partnership made payments in the amount of $98,418 to the accrued interest on the Demand Note during the three months ended March 31, 2017. No additional payments were made to the accrued interest on the Demand Note and no additional cash advances were made by JMB under the Demand Note through May 10, 2017, the date this report was filed. The Demand Note, which had an outstanding balance of unpaid principal and accrued interest at March 31, 2017 of $6,989,497 accrues interest at prime plus 1 percent, 5.0% at March 31, 2017, with interest compounded quarterly and included in principal, and is secured by the Partnership's interest in BFP/JMB. JMB is under no obligation to make further advances and has the right to require repayment of the Demand Note together with accrued and unpaid interest at any time.

 

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, JMB Park Avenue, Inc., the Corporate General Partner, and its affiliates are entitled to receive payment or reimbursement for salaries and salary-related expenses of its employees, certain of its officers, and other direct expenses relating to the administration of the Partnership and the operation of the Partnership's real property investments. Additionally, the Corporate General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursements for portfolio management, legal and accounting services. The Partnership incurred costs of $8,183 and $7,991 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, for these services. The Partnership owed the Corporate General Partner and its affiliates $2,604 and $2,789 for these services at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Any reimbursable amounts currently payable to the Corporate General Partner and its affiliates do not bear interest.

 

Subsequent Events

 

As previously disclosed, BFP, LP marketed for sale its interest in the 245 Park Avenue property. On May 5, 2017 the sale occurred.

 

As a consequence and under the terms of the December 29, 2014 Partnership Agreement, in a May 2, 2017 Redemption Notice, the Board of Managers of BFP/JMB issued a notice to 245 Park Holding directing BFP/JMB to redeem all of the outstanding Class J Units of 245 Park Holding. The Redemption Notice provided that on May 5, 2017 (the “Redemption Date”) the Board of Managers of BFP/JMB would cause BFP/JMB to redeem 7,481,180 Class J Units, as of May 2, 2017. The dollar amount of the unpaid preferred capital that will be redeemed pursuant to the redemption is equal to $7,481,180. On the Redemption Date, BFP/JMB distributed to 245 Park Holding the sum of (a) the Redemption Amount plus (b) the Unpaid Preferred Return from the date of its Redemption Notice through and including the Redemption Date on the Class J Units being redeemed. As a result, the Partnership received its 99% of the redemption amount of $7,481,180, plus an additional $3,939,394 or an approximate total of $11,400,000, which will be recognized as income for financial reporting purposes. Such funds are available, among other things, to retire its indebtedness, pay operating costs and those costs related to the termination of its affairs and pay a distribution to, or make any required tax withholding payments on behalf of, Holders.

 

As a result of the sale and redemption, it is expected that Holders of Interests will be allocated a substantial amount of gain for Federal and state income tax purposes. The amount of gain for Federal and state income tax purposes is expected to be, at a minimum, equal to all or most of the amount of such Holder’s deficit capital account, as of December 31, 2016, for tax purposes. For each Holder, such gain may be offset by suspended losses from prior years (if any) that have been allocated to the Holder of Interests. The Partnership cannot determine the ultimate tax liability of each such Holder and each Holder is encouraged to seek tax advice relative to its liability. The actual tax liability of each such Holder of Interests will depend on such Holder’s individual tax situation.

 

Adjustments

 

In the opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation (assuming the Partnership continues as a going concern) have been made to the accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and of Operations

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined have the same meanings as in the Partnership's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Before the sale of the property, the Partnership's future liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern was dependent upon JMB for continued advances and the receipt of the cumulative annual preferred return on the Class J shares of BFP/JMB. This uncertainty and the fact that the Partnership has a net capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. The operations of the Partnership since 2005 have been primarily funded by cash advances from JMB which totaled $2,157,000 as of March 31, 2017 (of which $30,000 was funded during the three months ended March 31, 2017) and which, together with the amount owed and rolled over from prior notes, are evidenced by the Demand Note. The Partnership made payments in the amount of $98,418 to the accrued interest on the Demand Note during the three months ended March 31, 2017. No additional payments were made to the accrued interest on the Demand Note and no additional cash advances were made by JMB under the Demand Note through May 10, 2017, the date that this report was filed. The Demand Note, which had an outstanding balance of unpaid principal and accrued interest at March 31, 2017 of $6,989,497, accrues interest at prime plus 1 percent, 5.0% at March 31, 2017, with interest compounded quarterly and included in principal, and is secured by the Partnership's interest in BFP/JMB. JMB is under no obligation to make further advances and has the right to require repayment of advances previously made together with accrued and unpaid interest at any time. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Under certain circumstances, the Partnership may have obligations for Federal or state withholding or estimated tax payments on behalf of certain Holders of Interests. Notwithstanding any such obligations, the Partnership believes that the Holders of Interests have the ultimate responsibility for the timely filing of state and Federal tax returns and the payment of all related taxes, including the reimbursement to the Partnership of all withholding tax payments or estimated tax payments made on their behalf.

 

 

The outstanding balance of the Demand Note at March 31, 2017 is approximately $7,000,000, and continues to accrue interest and be increased in principal amount by additional advances from JMB. It is unlikely that the Holders of Interests will ever receive any significant portion of their original investment. However, it is expected that Holders of Interests will be allocated a substantial amount of gain for Federal and state income tax purposes as a result of the sale of the 245 Park Avenue property.

 

As previously disclosed, BFP, LP marketed for sale its interest in the 245 Park Avenue property. On May 5, 2017 the sale occurred.

 

As a consequence and under the terms of the December 29, 2014 Partnership Agreement, in a May 2, 2017 Redemption Notice, the Board of Managers of BFP/JMB issued a notice to 245 Park Holding directing BFP/JMB to redeem all of the outstanding Class J Units of 245 Park Holding. The Redemption Notice provided that on May 5, 2017 (the “Redemption Date”) the Board of Managers of BFP/JMB would cause BFP/JMB to redeem 7,481,180 Class J Units, as of May 2, 2017. The dollar amount of the unpaid preferred capital that will be redeemed pursuant to the redemption is equal to $7,481,180. On the Redemption Date, BFP/JMB distributed to 245 Park Holding the sum of (a) the Redemption Amount plus (b) the Unpaid Preferred Return from the date of its Redemption Notice through and including the Redemption Date on the Class J Units being redeemed. As a result, the Partnership received its 99% of the redemption amount of $7,481,180, plus an additional $3,939,394 or an approximate total of $11,400,000, which will be recognized as income for financial reporting purposes. Such funds are available, among other things, to retire its indebtedness, pay operating costs and those costs related to the termination of its affairs and pay a distribution to, or make any required tax withholding payments on behalf of, Holders.

 

As a result of the sale and redemption, it is expected that Holders of Interests will be allocated a substantial amount of gain for Federal and state income tax purposes. The amount of gain for Federal and state income tax purposes is expected to be, at a minimum, equal to all or most of the amount of such Holder’s deficit capital account, as of December 31, 2016, for tax purposes. For each Holder, such gain may be offset by suspended losses from prior years (if any) that have been allocated to the Holder of Interests. The Partnership cannot determine the ultimate tax liability of each such Holder and each Holder is encouraged to seek tax advice relative to its liability. The actual tax liability of each such Holder of Interests will depend on such Holder’s individual tax situation.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

The operations of the Partnership since 2005 have primarily been funded by cash advances from JMB which totaled $2,157,000 as of March 31, 2017 (of which $30,000 was funded during the three months ended March 31, 2017) and which, together with the amount owed and rolled over from Replacement Note 1, are evidenced by the Demand Note at March 31, 2017.

 

The increase in demand note payable to an affiliate at March 31, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016 and related increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 is due to interest of approximately $82,059 offset by payments of approximately $98,418 made in 2017.

 

The decrease in professional services for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the timing of billings on accounting services.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 promulgated thereunder, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Partnership have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in this report was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the applicable rules and form of the Securities and Exchange Commission for this report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
