NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF OPERATION

 

Biggest Little Investments, L.P. (the "Partnership"), formerly Resources Accrued Mortgage Investors 2, L.P., Resources Accrued Mortgage Investors L.P. Series 87 and Resources Accrued Mortgage Investors L.P. Series 88, a Delaware limited partnership, was formed in August 1986 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the purpose of investing primarily in senior and junior accrued interest mortgage loans on properties owned or acquired principally by publicly or privately syndicated limited partnerships sponsored by affiliates of Integrated Resources, Inc. ("Integrated"). During 1994, Integrated's indirect ownership of the managing general partner was purchased by Presidio Capital Corp. ("Presidio"). Through December 31, 2001, the managing general partner of the Partnership was RAM Funding, Inc. and the associate general partner was Presidio AGP Corp., which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Presidio. Effective January 1, 2002, pursuant to the General and Limited Partner Interest Assignment Agreement (the "Assignment Agreement"), the managing general partner and associate general partner interests in the Partnership were acquired by Maxum LLC ("Maxum" or the "General Partner").

 

In accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), net income and loss, adjusted cash from operations and disposition proceeds are allocated 97.5% to the limited partners and 2.5% to the general partner.

 

On October 8, 2003, the Partnership received consents from the holders of a majority of its outstanding units of limited partnership interest ("Units") to adopt the Partnership's Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Amended LP Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amended LP Agreement, the Partnership was renamed "Biggest Little Investments, L.P." In addition, the Amended LP Agreement provides the Partnership with the ability to leverage its property in an effort to increase the value of the Partnership, to purchase additional real estate for investment and/or development and to make or acquire additional mortgage loans or short-term loans, as well as to reinvest operating income and proceeds from the sale or refinancing of its properties or the disposition of its mortgage loans. The Amended LP Agreement also permits the Partnership to repurchase Units from the limited partners. On June 12, 2009, the Amended LP Agreement was amended to permit the Partnership to invest in any personal property or other non-real estate assets and to invest in joint ventures, partnerships, firms, corporations or other entities where the Partnership would not have a controlling interest in such entities.

 

     The Partnership had an investment in a mortgage loan (the “Sierra Loan”) issued in 1989 in the amount of $6,500,000 to a public limited partnership. In March 2003, the Partnership acquired the deed to the property securing the Sierra Loan, a shopping center commonly known as the Sierra Marketplace located in Reno, Nevada (the “Sierra Property”), in lieu of foreclosing on the Sierra Loan. The Sierra Property consists of approximately 210,000 square feet of net rentable area and occupies 18.44 acres, consisting primarily of two main buildings with spaces for two anchor tenants, with surface parking for approximately 1,000 automobiles. The Sierra Property is approximately 82% vacant.
