NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 (Unaudited) These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Heartland Partners, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership, and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Heartland" or the "Company"), have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2000 Form 10-K"). The following Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements highlight significant changes to the Notes included in the 2000 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the SEC. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect in the opinion of management all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial statements in order to conform with current period presentation. 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation Heartland was formed on October 6, 1988. Heartland's existence will continue until December 31, 2065, unless extended or dissolved pursuant to the provisions of Heartland's partnership agreement. Heartland was organized to engage in the ownership, purchasing, development, leasing, marketing, construction and sale of real estate properties. CMC Heartland Partners ("CMC") is an operating general partnership owned 99.99% by Heartland and .01% by Heartland Technology, Inc. ("HTI"), formerly known as Milwaukee Land Company ("MLC"). HTI is the general partner of Heartland (in such capacity, the "General Partner"). In July, 1993, Heartland Development Corporation ("HDC"), a Delaware corporation, wholly-owned by Heartland, formed CMC Heartland Partners I, Limited Partnership ("CMCLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, to undertake a planned housing development in Rosemount, Minnesota ("Bloomfield or Rosemount"). CMC has a 100% membership interest in CMC Heartland Partners I ("CMCI"), CMC Heartland Partners II ("CMCII"), CMC Heartland Partners III ("CMCIII"), CMC Heartland Partners IV ("CMCIV"), CMC Heartland Partners V ("CMCV"), CMC Heartland Partners VI ("CMCVI"), CMC Heartland Partners VII ("CMCVII") and CMC Heartland Partners VIII ("CMCVIII"). CMCI has been formed to develop a portion of the Kinzie Station property ("Kinzie Station Phase II") in Chicago, IL. CMCII was formed to participate in the Goose Island Industrial Park joint venture in Chicago, Illinois. CMCIII was formed in 1997 to develop a portion of the Kinzie Station property ("Kinzie Station Phase I") in Chicago, IL. CMCIV was formed in 1998 and is developing approximately 177 acres in Fife, Washington. CMCV was formed in 1996 to acquire finished lots, sell and construct homes in Osprey Cove ("Osprey"), a master-planned residential community in St. Marys, GA. CMCVII was formed in 1998 to acquire lots and engage in sales, marketing and construction of homes in the Longleaf Country Club, Southern Pines, NC ("Southern Pines or Longleaf"). CMCVI and CMCVIII were formed at various times to acquire and hold future acquisitions. CMC also owns 100% of the 6 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 (Unaudited) common stock of Lifestyle Communities, Ltd. ("LCL") which serves as the exclusive sales agent in the St. Marys, Southern Pines and Kinzie Station Phase I and II developments. LCL is also the general contractor in the St. Marys development. CMC owns 100% of the stock of Lifestyle Construction Company, Inc. ("LCC") which serves as the general contractor in North Carolina. Except as otherwise noted herein, references herein to "Heartland" or the "Company" include CMC, HDC, CMCLP, CMCI, CMCII, CMCIII, CMCIV, CMCV, CMCVI, CMCVII, CMCVIII, LCL and LCC. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Heartland. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Revenues from housing and land sales are recognized in the period which title passes and cash is received. Investment in Joint Venture Investment in joint venture represents recording of the Company's interest under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recorded its initial interest at cost and adjusts its investment account for additional capital contributions, distributions and its share of joint venture income or loss. Segment Reporting The Company has two primary reportable business segments, which consist of land sales and property development (See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Property Properties are carried at their historical cost. Expenditures which significantly improve the values or extend useful lives of the properties are capitalized. Predevelopment costs including interest, financing fees, and real estate taxes that are directly identified with a specific development project are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. 7 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 (Unaudited) Housing inventories, (including completed model homes), consisting of land, land development, direct and indirect construction costs and related interest, are recorded at cost which is not in excess of fair value. Housing inventories consisted of the following at June 30, 2001 (amounts in thousands): Land under development............... $ 4,657 Direct construction costs............ 5,813 Capitalized project costs............ 4,362 ------- $14,832 ======= In December, 1999, Heartland decided to cease building operations in Osprey Cove. The homes and lots are being sold in the ordinary course of business. 2. Contingencies At June 30, 2001, Heartland's allowance for claims and liabilities was approximately $4.3 million of which $0.3 million was for the resolution of non-environmental claims and $4 million was for environmental matters. Significant legal proceedings and contingencies are discussed in the 2000 Form 10-K. On July 15, 1999 and again on February 20, 2001, the Company modified its October 1, 1998 settlement agreement with the Port of Tacoma in which the Port of Tacoma released all claims against the Company and the Company agreed either to (a) pay $1.1 million on or before December 31, 2001, plus interest from January 1, 1999, or (b) convey real property to be agreed upon at a later date. On December 2, 2000, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee ("RACM") filed suit in Milwaukee County Circuit Court to obtain access to appraise, survey and conduct environmental and geo-technical investigations on certain property owned by the Company adjacent to the Milwaukee Brewers baseball stadium in furtherance of RACM's efforts to acquire the property by condemnation. Heartland has vigorously opposed certain elements of RACM's request for access and right to proceed. Management is not able to express an opinion at this time as to the merits of this action. As part of the Company's sale of certain property in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to the State of Wisconsin, in December, 2000, for $1,400,000, the Company undertook to cause a lessee of part of the property to surrender its lease. By Settlement Agreement dated July 5, 2001, the lessee agreed to surrender its lease in consideration, among other things, of the payment from the Company of $126,000. This amount was paid to the lessee in July, 2001. 8 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 (Unaudited) 3. Notes Payable Heartland has a line of credit agreement in the amount of $9.6 million with LaSalle National Bank ("LNB"), pursuant to which Heartland granted LNB a first lien on certain parcels of land in Chicago, Illinois, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Fife, Washington which had a carrying value of $12,878,000 and $11,328,000 as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The Company has also pledged as collateral its interest in the Goose Island Joint Venture which has a carrying value of $427,000 and $377,000 at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. Also, pursuant to the line of credit agreement, Heartland has pledged cash in the amount of $1,150,000 as an interest reserve. The maturity date of the line of credit is December 31, 2001. Advances against the line of credit bear interest at the prime rate of LNB plus 1.5% (8.25% at June 30, 2001). At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, $6,600,000 and $9,000,000, respectively, had been advanced to the Company by LNB against the line of credit. At Osprey Cove in St. Marys, Georgia, the First National Bank of St. Marys ("FNB") in Georgia has made two loans on two inventory homes of $170,000 and $235,000 to the Company. The carrying value of the two homes is approximately $558,000 at June 30, 2001. The loans mature on October 12, 2001 and January 5, 2002, respectively. The loans bear interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate plus 3.35% and 3.85%, respectively (7.1% and 7.6% at June 30, 2001). At June 30, 2001, $405,000 had been advanced to Heartland on the two loans. As of December 8, 2000, Heartland has an agreement for a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit for the construction of homes in its Longleaf community located in Southern Pines, NC with Bank One of Illinois ("Bank One"). Also, on December 8, 2000, Heartland borrowed $250,000 from Bank One to purchase the remaining lots owned by the developer of Longleaf. The carrying value of the collateral for these two loans at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, is $3,167,000 and $3,577,000, respectively. The line of credit and the $250,000 loan mature April 12, 2002 and bear interest at the prime rate (6.75% at June 30, 2001). At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, $1,199,000 and $1,383,000, respectively, had been advanced by Bank One to Heartland on these two loans. On January 30, 2001, the final principal and interest payment was made on the $5,250,000 Kinzie Station Plaza building loan. On February 23, 2001, the Company amended this loan agreement with Bank One, and borrowed an additional $3,000,000, of which $2,500,000 remains outstanding at June 30, 2001, and changed the maturity date of the loan to February 23, 2002. The loan bears interest at the prime rate (6.75% at June 30, 2001). 9 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 (Unaudited) 4. Related Party Transactions Heartland has a management agreement with Heartland Technology, Inc. ("HTI") pursuant to which Heartland is required to pay HTI an annual management fee in the amount of $425,000 until June 27, 2005. The management fee for the first six months of 2001 of $212,000 has been accrued as an expense and was credited against amounts owed the Company by HTI. Under a management services agreement, HTI reimburses Heartland for reasonable and necessary costs and expenses for services. These totaled $460,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Heartland also makes cash advances to HTI. HTI owed the Company $6,929,000 and $4,581,000 as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, related to these expenses and cash advances. On December 29, 2000, HTI executed a line of credit promissory note that is due on demand, payable to Heartland in the amount of $6,000,000. At that time, HTI granted the Company a Series C Warrant that entitles Heartland to purchase 320,000 shares of HTI common stock at an exercise price of $1.05. The warrant is exercisable on or before February 16, 2006. On May 11, 2001, HTI executed an additional line of credit promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000. On July 3, 2001, the $1,000,000 promissory note was cancelled and a replacement line of credit promissory note in the amount of $1,500,000 was executed. The line of credit promissory notes bear interest at 13% on June 30, 2001. The total of the two line of credit promissory notes is $7,500,000. As collateral for these two notes, HTI Class B, LLC pledged, on December 14, 2000, to Heartland a senior lien and a senior security interest in the Heartland Class B Limited Partnership Interest owned by HTI Class B, LLC. On March 31, 2001, the two Kinzie Station Phase I model homes (a one bedroom unit and a two bedroom unit) and furniture were purchased by two officers of the Company at fair market value. Heartland has leased these model homes back from the officers starting April 1, 2001 and ending April 1, 2004. The monthly rent on the one bedroom model is $2,350 and on the two bedroom model is $4,200. The leases contain standard insurance and maintenance clauses as customary in these types of leases. 10 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P.

Employee Compensation Arrangements The President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company will receive commencing January 1, 2000 and continuing thereafter during the time he is employed incentive payments equal to 1/2% of the net proceeds from sales of certain real estate after deducting any debt obligations, closing costs and any real estate brokers commission. As of December 31, 2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2001, $73,000 and $66,000, respectively, had been accrued as compensation expense under this plan. As of June 30, 2001, $113,000 had been paid to the President and Chief Executive Officer by the Company. On October 18, 2000, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Heartland borrowed $375,000 from the Company, of which $330,000 remains outstanding at June 30, 2001 and is included as part of accounts receivable at June 30, 2001. The note is due October 17, 2005, and interest is payable quarterly at the rate of 11% per year. On October 17, 2000, an amendment to the employment agreement authorizes the Company to deduct from any incentive payment made to him 40% of that payment and apply it to his outstanding note due to the Company. As a result of this amendment, $45,000 of the above described payment of $113,000 was applied to the outstanding note balance. Effective January 1, 2000, the Company approved the CMC Heartland Partners Incentive Plan ("CMC Plan") and the Sales Incentive Plan ("Sales Plan") to provide incentives to attract, retain or motivate highly competent employees of the Company. The aggregate benefits payable under the CMC Plan shall be computed by multiplying the following percentages (3% for the years 2000 and 2001, 2% for the year 2002 and 1% for the year 2003) by the net proceeds from the sale of certain land parcels during those years. The aggregate benefits payable under the Sales Plan shall be computed by multiplying 3% for the years 2000 and 2001 by the net proceeds from the sale of certain real estate during those years. As of December 31, 2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2001, $533,000 and $305,000, respectively, had been accrued as compensation expense under the plans. As of June 30, 2001, $220,000 had been paid to the Officers by the Company. 7. Subsequent Event On August 10, 2001, the Kinzie Station Phase II 1.2 acre commercial property sold to a developer for use as a parking facility closed at a sales price of $2,937,000. At that time the LNB line of credit was reduced by $2,600,000. The outstanding amount owed LNB is $4,000,000 at August 10, 2001. 12 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward Looking Statements We caution you that certain statements in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section, and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and other important factors, including the risks described in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section, and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The Company's actual future results, performance or achievement of results and the value of the partnership Units, may differ materially from any such results, performance or achievement or value implied by these statements. We caution you not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement in these documents. The Company claims the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flow from operating activities has been derived primarily from proceeds of property sales. Cash was $3,564,000 (including $1,902,000 of restricted cash) at June 30, 2001, and $2,849,000 (including $2,699,000 of restricted cash) at December 31, 2000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $4,693,000 in the first six months of 2001, compared to ($769,000) used in operating activities in the first six months of 2000. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $5,462,000 is mainly attributable to the significant decrease of housing inventories in the first six months of 2001 as a result of the closing of sold units in Kinzie Station Phase I. Development Property At June 30, 2001, property designated for development consisted of 13 sites comprising approximately 536 acres. The book value of this land is $9,474,000 or an average of $17,700 per acre. Heartland reviews these properties to determine whether to hold, develop, joint venture or sell. Heartland's objective for these properties is to maximize unitholder value. Kinzie Station Heartland has a 3.88 acre site in the City of Chicago known as Kinzie Station. Zoning approval for the construction of 381 residential units on this 3.88 acre site was received in 1997. On March 28, 2001, zoning approval to increase the total number of residential units from 381 to 442 units was received from the City of Chicago. In addition to the 3.88 acre site, the Company owns approximately 9 acres of land and 4 acres of air rights adjacent to Kinzie Station. This acreage is currently zoned for industrial and manufacturing uses. The Company has entered into a contract, subject to various contingencies, to sell a 1.66 acre parcel of this land to a developer for approximately $2,000,000. 13 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 Kinzie Station Phase I Kinzie Station Phase I is situated on 1.23 acres. The construction of Kinzie Station Phase I started on October 1, 1998. The Company has closed 151 Tower units and 17 Plaza units during the period May 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001. Kinzie Station Phase I Unit Detail As of June 30, 2001 Total Number Sale Contracts of Units To-Date ------------ -------------- Tower Building 163 153 Plaza 24 17 Townhomes 5 3 ------------ -------------- Total 192 173 ============ ============== On October 20, 1999, the Company executed loan documents with Bank One of Illinois ("Bank One") for a loan of $5,250,000 to construct the Kinzie Station Plaza building. On January 30, 2001, the final principal and interest payment was made on the $5,250,000 Kinzie Station Plaza building loan. On February 23, 2001, the Company amended this loan agreement with Bank One, and borrowed an additional $3,000,000, of which $2,500,000 remains outstanding at June 30, 2001, and changed the maturity date of the loan to February 23, 2002. The loan bears interest at the prime rate (6.75% at June 30, 2001). Kinzie Station Phase II Heartland has a 2.65 acre site in the City of Chicago known as Kinzie Station Phase II. On approximately 1.45 acres, the Company expects to construct 250 residential units with the remaining 1.2 acres available for future commercial development. The Company had entered into a contract to sell the 1.2 acre commercial property to a developer for use as a parking facility for $2,937,000. This sale closed August 10, 2001. As described above in the Kinzie Station section, zoning approval was received March 28, 2001. 14 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 Kinzie Station Phase II Unit Detail As of June 30, 2001 Total Number of Units Tower Building 242 Townhomes 8 ------------ Total 250 ============ As of June 30, 2001, the Company has pre-sold 26 Tower units for a total sales volume of approximately $8,400,000. Osprey Cove Included in the aforementioned 536 acres are approximately 2 acres consisting of 7 lots purchased for $279,000 or an average of $39,900 per lot at Osprey Cove in St. Marys, GA. Osprey Cove is a master-planned residential community with a wide range of natural and recreation amenities, which includes a recreational complex, lakes, a boat dock and a boat launch. In December, 1999, the Company decided to cease operations at Osprey Cove. As of June 30, 2001, 62 contracts have closed in Osprey; 11 in 2001, 16 in 2000, 20 in 1999, 13 in 1998 and 2 in 1997. It is anticipated that the 2 completed inventory homes will be sold and closed in the ordinary course of business. Of the 5 lots owned by Heartland, 2 lots are sold and the remaining 3 lots are being marketed and will be sold and closed in the ordinary course of business. Osprey Cove Unit Inventory Detail As of June 30, 2001 Inventory homes 2 Lots owned-sold 2 Lots owned-inventory 3 ------------ Total unit inventory 7 ============ At Osprey Cove in St. Marys, Georgia, the First National Bank of St. Marys ("FNB") in Georgia has made two loans on two inventory homes of $170,000 and $235,000 to the Company. The loans mature on October 12, 2001 and January 5, 2002, respectively. The loans bear interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate plus 3.35% and 3.85%, respectively (7.1% and 7.6% at June 30, 2001). At June 30, 2001, $405,000 had been advanced to Heartland on the two loans. 15 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 Longleaf At June 30, 2001, the Company owns 207 lots in its Longleaf community located in Southern Pines, North Carolina. These 207 lots were purchased for $2,403,000, an average of $11,600 per lot. In Longleaf, the Company has closed , as of June 30, 2001, 34 contracts; 6 in 2001, 15 in 2000 and 13 in 1999. When the Company assumed day to day operations of Longleaf in April, 1998, there were a number of homes under construction which were owned by the developer, as well as resale homes, on the market. As of June 30, 2001, the Company has sold 36 homes and 5 lots for these owners since April 1, 1998. Longleaf Unit Inventory Detail As of June 30, 2001 Model homes 2 Sold homes under construction 1 Inventory homes under construction 6 Lots owned 198 ------------ Total unit inventory 207 ============ As of December 8, 2000, Heartland has an agreement for a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit for the construction of homes in Longleaf with Bank One. Also, on December 8, 2000, Heartland borrowed $250,000 to purchase the remaining lots owned by the developer of Longleaf. The revolving line of credit and $250,000 loan mature April 12, 2002 and bear interest at the prime rate (6.75% at June 30, 2001). At June 30, 2001, $1,199,000 had been advanced by Bank One to Heartland on these two loans. Bloomfield Heartland owned 122 acres of undeveloped acreage in Rosemount, Minnesota. On June 21, 2001, Centex Homes purchased the 122 acres from the Company for $5,175,000. Bozeman, Montana Heartland has entered into an option to sell its 14-acre property in Bozeman, Montana to the Bozeman Public Library for $2.25 million. 16 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 Other Development Activities Heartland, along with Colliers, Bennett and Kahnweiler, a Chicago based real estate company, and Wooton Construction, have formed a joint venture to develop approximately 265,000 square feet of industrial space in the Goose Island Industrial Park in Chicago, Illinois. As of June 30, 2001, the buildings had been built and leases had been signed for all of the 265,000 square feet. On December 1, 1998, the Fife property was annexed to the City of Fife, Washington. A Local Improvement District has been approved in order to support the improvement and extension of sewers and sewer capacity for the site. The city of Fife has zoned the property for residential usage. Heartland has prepared and submitted the Environmental Impact Statement and the preliminary site plan for the site to the City for acceptance and approval. On July 23, 2001, the Fife Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend and approve the preliminary site plan. The Fife City Council is scheduled to meet in September, 2001 on this matter. The real estate development business is highly competitive. Heartland is subject to competition from a great number of real estate developers, including developers with national operations, many of which have greater sales and financial resources than Heartland. Property Sales and Leasing Activities The Company has the right to sell easements for fiber optic lines along or across 83 miles of rail right of way running from downtown Chicago west to Elgin and Northwest to Fox Lake, Illinois. The Company actively markets fiber optics easements and is seeking opportunities to generate additional proceeds through the sale of these rights. The Company receives 2/3 of the proceeds of any sale. Heartland's current inventory of land held for sale consists of 14,052 acres located throughout 12 states. The book value of this inventory is approximately $732,000. The majority of the land is former railroad rights-of-way, long, narrow strips of land approximately 100 feet in width. Some of Heartland's sites located in small rural communities or outlying mid-cities are leased to third parties for agricultural, industrial, retail and residential use. These properties may be improved with the lessee's structures and include grain elevators, storage sheds, parking lots and small retail service facilities. The sale, management and leasing of the Company's non-development real estate inventory is conducted by Heartland's Sales and Property Management Department. The volume of the Company's sales has slowed over the last five years due to the less desirable characteristics of the remaining properties. The Company has a current active lease portfolio of approximately 150 leases. Less than 1% of its total acreage is leased. The number of leases declines each year as sales of properties are made to existing lessees. The majority of the leases provide nominal rental income to Heartland. The leases generally require the lessee to construct, maintain and remove any improvements, pay property taxes, maintain insurance and maintain the condition of the property. The majority of the leases are cancellable by either party upon thirty to sixty days notice. Heartland's ability to terminate or modify certain of its leases is restricted by applicable law and regulations. 17 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 For properties held for sale, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of the property, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property. It is the Company's practice to evaluate environmental liabilities associated with the Company's properties. Heartland monitors the potential exposure to environmental costs on a regular basis and has recorded a liability in the amount of $4 million at June 30, 2001 for possible environmental liabilities, including remediation, legal and consulting fees. A reserve is established with regard to potential environmental liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The amount of any liability is determined independently from any claim for recovery. If the amount of the liability cannot be reasonably estimated, but management is able to determine that the amount of the liability is likely to fall within a range, and no amount within that range can be determined to be the better estimate, then a reserve in the minimum amount of the range is accrued. In addition, Heartland has established an allowance for resolution of non-environmental claims of $.3 million. Heartland does not at this time anticipate that these claims or assessments will have a material effect on the Company's liquidity, financial position and results of operations beyond the reserve which the Company has established for such claims and assessments. In making this evaluation, the Company has assumed that the Company will continue to be able to assert the bankruptcy bar arising from the reorganization of its predecessor and that resolution of current pending and threatened claims and assessments will be consistent with the Company's experience with similar previously asserted claims and assessments. While the timing of the payment in respect of environmental claims has not significantly adversely affected the Company's cash flow or liquidity in the past, management is not able to reasonably anticipate whether future payments may or may not have a significant adverse effect in the future. Heartland's management believes it will have sufficient funds available for operating expenses, but anticipates the necessity of utilizing outside financing to fund development projects. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had a line of credit with LaSalle National Bank ("LNB") in the amount of $9.6 million. Cash in the amount of $1,150,000 is pledged as an interest reserve. The line of credit matures December 31, 2001. Advances against the line of credit bear interest at the prime rate of LNB plus 1.5% (8.25% at June 30, 2001). At June 30, 2001, $6,600,000 had been advanced to the Company by LNB against the line of credit. On August 10, 2001, the Kinzie Station Phase II 1.2 acre commercial property sold to a developer for use as a parking facility closed at a sales price of $2,937,000. At that time the LNB line of credit was reduced by $2,600,000. The outstanding amount owed LNB is $4,000,000 at August 10, 2001. If the $1,150,000 interest reserve was applied to the outstanding note balance on August 10, 2001 of $4,000,000, Heartland would owe LNB $2,850,000. 18 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 Results of Operations Operations for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, resulted in net income of $3,232,000 and $5,426,000, respectively. For the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, the income allocated to the Class A Limited Partners is $3,184,000 and $5,345,000, respectively, and $1.49 and $2.50 per Class A Unit, respectively. Operations for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, resulted in net income of $4,235,000 and $3,316,000, respectively. The income was allocated 100% to the Class B Limited Partner. For the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, no income was allocated to the Class A Unitholders because the partnership agreement provides that if an allocation of a net loss to a partner would cause that partner to have a negative balance in its capital account at a time when one or more partners would have a positive balance in their capital account such net loss shall be allocated only among partners having positive balances in their capital account. In the prior periods losses were allocated only to the Class B Limited Partner. However, the Class A Limited Partners Capital accounts have been restored to a positive balance and income for the second quarter and the first six months of 2001 were allocated to the Class A Limited Partners according to their proper percentage. The increase in net income for the first six months of 2001 compared to the net income in the first six months of 2000 of $2,110,000 is due to the closing of 28 Tower and Plaza units at Kinzie Station Phase I producing gross revenues of $9,065,000 and the closing of two parcels of land comprising a total of 235 acres in Bloomfield located in Rosemount, Minnesota for an aggregate sales price of $9,175,000. Total operating expenses were $3,028,000 and $2,909,000 for the first six months ending June 30, 2001, and 2000, respectively. The increase of $119,000 is due to increased selling expenses of $498,000 primarily related to the closing of the Kinzie Station Phase I units offset by a reduction in general and administrative expenses of $359,000. Economic and Other Conditions Generally The real estate industry is highly cyclical and is affected by changes in local, national, and global economic conditions and events, such as employment levels, availability of financing, interest rates, consumer confidence and the demand for housing and other types of construction. Real estate developers are subject to various risks, many of which are outside the control of the developer, including real estate market conditions, changing demographic conditions, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornados, delays in construction schedules, cost overruns, changes in government regulations or requirements, increases in real estate taxes and other local government fees and availability and cost of land, materials and labor. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the financial conditions of Heartland. 19 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 Access to Financing The real estate business is capital intensive and requires expenditures for land and infrastructure development, housing construction and working capital. Accordingly, Heartland anticipates incurring additional indebtedness to fund their real estate development activities. As of June 30, 2001, Heartland's total consolidated indebtedness was $10,704,000. There can be no assurance that the amounts available from internally generated funds, cash on hand, Heartland's existing credit facilities and sale of non-strategic assets will be sufficient to fund Heartland's anticipated operations. Heartland may be required to seek additional capital in the form of equity or debt financing from a variety of potential sources, including additional bank financing and sales of debt or equity securities. No assurance can be given that such financing will be available or, if available, will be on terms favorable to Heartland. If Heartland is not successful in obtaining sufficient capital to fund the implementation of its business strategy and other expenditures, development projects may be delayed or abandoned. Any such delay or abandonment could result in a reduction in sales and would adversely affect Heartland's future results of operations. Period-to-Period Fluctuations Heartland's real estate projects are long-term in nature. Sales activity varies from period to period, and the ultimate success of any development cannot always be determined from results in any particular period or periods. Thus, the timing and amount of revenues arising from capital expenditures are subject to considerable uncertainty. The inability of Heartland to manage effectively their cash flows from operations would have an adverse effect on their ability to service debt, and to meet working capital requirements. Interest Rate Sensitivity The Company's total consolidated indebtedness at June 30, 2001 is $10,704,000. The Company pays interest on its outstanding borrowings under revolving credit facilities and fixed loan amounts at the prime rate plus 0.00% to 1.5%. An adverse change of 1.00% in the prime rate would increase the quarterly interest incurred by approximately $27,000. The Company does not have any other financial instruments for which there is a significant exposure to interest rate changes. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations: Economic and Other Conditions Generally, Access to Financing and Interest Rate Sensitivity. 20 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings At June 30, 2001, Heartland's allowance for claims and liabilities was approximately $4.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of approximately $28,000 in the provision was recorded in respect to environmental matters. Material legal matters are discussed below. Soo Line Matters The Soo Line Railroad Company (the "Soo") has asserted that the Company is liable for certain occupational injury claims filed after the consummation of an Asset Purchase Agreement and related agreements ("APA") by former employees now employed by the Soo. The Company has denied liability for each of these claims based on a prior settlement with the Soo. The Soo has also asserted that the Company is liable for the remediation of releases of petroleum or other regulated materials at six different sites acquired from the Company located in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The Company has denied liability based on the APA. The occupational and environmental claims are all currently being handled by the Soo, and the Company understands the Soo has paid settlements on many of these claims. As a result of Soo's exclusive handling of these matters, the Company has made no determination as to the merits of the claims and is unable to determine the materiality of these claims. Tacoma, Washington In June, 1997, the Port of Tacoma ("Port") filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington alleging that the Company was liable under Washington state law for the cost of the Port's remediation of a railyard sold in 1980 by the bankruptcy trustee for the Company's predecessor to the Port's predecessor in interest. On October, 1, 1998, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Port, subsequently modified July 15, 1999 and February 20, 2001, in which the Port released all claims and the Company agreed either to (a) pay $1.1 million on or before December 31, 2001, plus interest from January 1, 1999, or (b) to convey to the Port real property to be agreed upon at a later date. At June 30, 2001, Heartland's allowance for claims and liabilities for this site was $1,100,000. The Company will not make a claim on its insurance carriers in this matter because the settlement amount does not exceed the self insured retention under the applicable insurance policies. 21 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 Wheeler Pit, Janesville, Wisconsin In November, 1995, the Company settled a claim with respect to the Wheeler Pit site near Janesville, Wisconsin. The Company's only outstanding obligation under the settlement is to pay 32% of the monitoring costs for twenty-five years beginning in 1997. Milwaukee, Wisconsin On December 2, 2000, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee ("RACM") filed suit in Milwaukee County Circuit Court to obtain access to appraise, survey and conduct environmental and geo-technical investigations on certain property owned by the Company adjacent to the Milwaukee Brewers baseball stadium in furtherance of RACM's efforts to acquire the property by condemnation. Heartland has vigorously opposed certain elements of RACM's request for access and right to proceed. Management is not able to express an opinion at this time as to the merits of this action. As part of the Company's sale of certain property in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to the State of Wisconsin, in December, 2000, for $1,400,000, the Company undertook to cause a lessee of part of the property to surrender its lease. By Settlement Agreement dated July 5, 2001, the lessee agreed to surrender its lease in consideration, among other things, of the payment from the Company of $126,000. This amount was paid to the lessee in July, 2001. Miscellaneous Environmental Matters Under environmental laws, liability for hazardous substance contamination is imposed on the current owners and operators of the contaminated site, as well as the owner or the operator of the site at the time the hazardous substance was disposed or otherwise released. In most cases, this liability is imposed without regard to fault. Currently, the Company has known environmental liabilities associated with certain of its properties arising out of the activities of its predecessor or certain of its predecessor's lessees and may have further material environmental liabilities as yet unknown. The majority of the Company's known environmental liabilities stem from the use of petroleum products, such as motor oil and diesel fuel, in the operation of a railroad or in operations conducted by its predecessor's lessees. The following is a summary of material known environmental matters, in addition to those described above. The Montana Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") has asserted that the Company is liable for some or all of the investigation and remediation of certain properties in Montana sold by its predecessor's reorganization trustee prior to the consummation of its predecessor's reorganization. The Company has denied liability at certain of these sites based on the reorganization bar of the Company's predecessors. The Company's potential liability for the investigation and remediation of these sites was discussed in detail at a meeting with DEQ in April, 1997. While DEQ has not formally changed its position, DEQ has not elected to file suit. Management is not able to express an opinion at this time whether the cost of the defense of this liability or the environmental exposure in the event of the Company's liability will or will not be material. 22 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P. JUNE 30, 2001 At twelve separate sites, the Company has been notified that releases arising out of the operations of a lessee, former lessee or other third party have been reported to government agencies. At each of these sites, the third party is voluntarily cooperating with the appropriate agency by investigating the extent of any such contamination and performing the appropriate remediation, if any. The Company has petroleum groundwater remediation projects or long term monitoring programs at Farmington, Minnesota, and Miles City, Montana. The Company has an interest in property at Moses Lake, Washington previously owned and used by the United States government as an Air Force base. A portion of the Company's property is located over a well field which was placed on the national priority list in October, 1992. Sampling by the Army Corps of Engineers has indicated the presence of various regulated materials, primarily in the groundwater, which were most likely released as a result of military or other third party operations. The Company has not been named as a potentially responsible party. In 1995, at a 5.95 acre parcel in Minneapolis, Minnesota, environmental sampling disclosed that the parcel was impacted by releases of regulated materials from the 1960s operations of a former lessee. The Company continues to investigate the environmental condition of the property on a voluntary basis under the direction of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. Sampling performed in November, 2000, has indicated the presence of solvents in the groundwater under certain property owned by the Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Management will not be able to determine the materiality of the remediation costs, if any, of these materials until the concentrations and location of the release has been quantified. In addition to the environmental matters set forth above, there may be other properties, i), with environmental liabilities not yet known to the Company, or ii), with potential environmental liabilities for which the Company has no reasonable basis to estimate or, iii), which the Company believes the Company is not reasonably likely to ultimately bear the liability, but the investigation or remediation of which may require future expenditures. Management is not able to express an opinion at this time whether the environmental expenditures for these properties will or will not be material. The Company has given notice to its insurers of certain of the Company's environmental liabilities. Due to the high deductibles on these policies, the Company has not yet demanded that any insurer indemnify or defend the Company. Consequently, management has not formed an opinion regarding the legal sufficiency of the Company's claims for insurance coverage. The Company is also subject to other suits and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, reasonably possible losses from these matters should not be material to the Company's results of operations or financial condition. 23 HEARTLAND PARTNERS, L.P.
