WHEN SOMEONE OFFERS TO PURCHASE YOUR UNITS . . .

 

Many of you have, at one time or another, received unsolicited offers in the mail to purchase your units. As you may already know, those offers do not come from The Provo Group (“TPG”) and are not endorsed by TPG. There are a few of these “mini-tender offers” currently being circulated to DiVall investors. We feel it is important that you understand the following information when you consider selling your units to an unsolicited buyer:

 

. . . THEIR ONLY GOAL IS TO MAKE A PROFIT . . .

 

The person or company that is offering to buy your units is doing so as an investment and expects to make a good return on the investment. Your investment is currently returning about 8% based on the estimated net asset value of the Partnership. In order for the buyer to make more than 8%, the buyer must pay less than the estimated net asset value. For example, if they purchase your units for $350 per unit and the net asset value of your unit is $440, the buyer has $90 per unit as a built-in profit ( 25%) plus an annual return from quarterly distributions of, not 8%, but 10.25%. Note that the buyer’s return is not guaranteed, and when he will be able to get the built-in profit (or loss) depends on when the Partnership is liquidated.

 

. . . TPG IS INVOLVED ONLY AS A TRANSFER AGENT . . .

 

The money from the sale of your units does not come from the Partnership or TPG, nor does the money go through our office. Once TPG receives the signed contract from both the buyer and seller directing us to transfer the units, the units are transferred and a new certificate is issued to the buyer. However, we cannot be responsible to make sure you actually get paid. If you do not receive your money as stated in your contract with the buyer, contact our office and we will use reasonable efforts to identify a contact for you with the buyer, but we will not be drawn into any payment dispute you may have with the buyer.

 

. . . BE SURE TO READ THE FINE PRINT . . .

 

It is important that you thoroughly read the offers that are sent to you. The fine print can be difficult to understand and sometimes misleading. One area that seems to often lead to confusion/misunderstanding is who is entitled to receive (or get credit for) any distributions that occur before the sale is completed and the unit is transferred. Watch this closely when evaluating an offer.

 

. . . AND KNOW YOUR BUYER’S BACKGROUND . . .

 

Offers sometimes contain interesting information regarding the buyer. For example, a recent offer read “(the buyer) entered into a consent with the SEC enjoining them from offering, making or engaging in mini-tenders . . . this consent specifies that it does not pertain to offers to purchase limited partnership interests.” You may want to investigate why a buyer got in trouble with the SEC before agreeing to do business with them.

 

Some offers mention transfer fees. To cover the expense of processing transfers, the Partnership does charge a $50 fee per transfer (not per unit). A recent mini-tender offer read “offering $380 per unit, less the partnership transfer fee of $60.” We do not know whether this misstatement of the amount of the Partnership’s transfer fee was inadvertent or deliberate.


PAGE 2   DIVALL 2   1 Q 04

 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding an offer you received in the mail, please do not hesitate to contact our office. We will try to answer any questions you may have. Additionally, if you ask us for it, our office will forward you a list of companies/individuals who have purchased units from investors in the past and may be interested in purchasing your units. These people may be willing to pay more than the current mini-tenders, but we are not endorsing any of these potential buyers either.

 

In May 2005 the partnership intends to send out consents to investors to vote on whether or not to place the partnership’s assets up for sale.

 

DISTRIBUTION HIGHLIGHTS

 

  $415,000 total amount distributed for the First Quarter 2004 which is $10,000 lower than originally projected primarily because of the Popeye’s real estate taxes. (refer to page 3 for details)

 

  $8.97 per unit (approx.) for the First Quarter 2004.

 

  The First Quarter distribution represents an approximate 8.1% annualized return from operations based on a net asset value of $20,500,000 as of 12/31/03.

 

  $1,234 to $1,084 range of distributions per unit from the first unit sold to the last unit sold before the offering closed (2/90) respectively. (Distributions are from both cash flow from operations and “net” cash activity from financing and investing/sale activities)

 

PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS

 

Sales/Other Issues

 

$ Palm Beach, FL (currently operated as a Miami Subs restaurant) The Partnership currently has a contract pending for the sale of this property to a private investor for $650,000. Closing is contracted to be in the Second Quarter of 2004.

 

Miami Subs, was delinquent at March 31, 2004 in the amount of $20,721 which represents past due rent and related late fees. Although this tenant agreed to make double payments we have yet to receive the balance due. This tenant is in default and we are seeking possession of this property.


Litigation Issues

 

$ Popeye’s (Park Forest, IL) This tenant was delinquent at March 31, 2004 in the amount of $270,000. This amount includes delinquent percentage rent for 2001 and 2002 ($103,509), related late fees ($61,049), and delinquent property taxes (approximately $105,000). The Partnership paid the delinquent taxes during the first quarter, which cover 2001, 2002 and the first half of 2003, in order to avoid adverse action by the taxing authority.

 

The Partnership commenced legal action against Popeye’s last year, and in February we were granted a court order allowing the Partnership to remove Popeye’s and gain possession of the property if we choose to do so. We are also pursuing a reduction in the real estate tax assessment.

 

On April 22, we received $25,000 as an initial monthly installment by the tenant toward satisfying all outstanding real estate taxes previously paid buy us. There is no settlement agreement, but it is understood that if all of the past due taxes are brought current with us; we will enter into a formal settlement agreement to stay any possession action or other litigation.
