NC 28255 Tetophone 7041374-5000 NCNB a August 7, 1990 Dear NCNB Real Estate Fund Investors Due to market conditions and investor uncertainty, the NCNB Real Estate Fund has recently experienced an increase in requests for withdrawala. On the June 30, 1990 valuation date, the Fund experienced a net outflow of participant investment of approxi mately $13,000,000. The timely requested withdrawals for september 26, 1990 approximate $26,000,000. while the Fund has sufficient cash to pay the requested withdrawals and to meet its contractual obligations on September 28, 1990, WS expect that this negative trend will continue for the near future and if allowed to continue will endanger the operation of the Fund. Despite these conditions, income from. the Fund's investments is good •and is improving. The Fund's properties are experiencing increased occupancy rates, and the markets in which we invest generally are continuing to absorb excess capacity over time. In order -to protect the long term value of your real estate investments in a difficult environment, the Trust committee which has oversight responsibility for the NCNB Real Estate Fund, pursuant to its authority set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust, has determined that effective immediately no admissions to or withdrawals from the Fund will be permitted until the Fund has stabilized. This is necessary in order to maintain a sufficient cash position for the continued operation of the Fund. NCNB's real estate investment professionals will continue to actively manage Fund assets and to assess market opportunitisss to increase income and the Fund's case position. Your NCNB account officer will contact you shortly to answer any questions you may have. We will keep you informed of our actions and intentions with res. ct to the Fund.
