In Edit/Transfer Pages, we have
added Indent and Outdent menu choices. Indent inserts the "&"
character in front of the Page Titles of all selected pages that do not already
have it there. Outdent performs the opposite function ... it eliminates
the "&" character from in front of the Page Titles of all selected pages in
the Assumption Page List. This allows you to "hide" a group of pages (like Indenting
all the detailed Capital Spending in a development Pro Forma printed in annual mode)
and then easily restore the original Page Titles to print the detailed Pro Forma
for the first year in monthly mode. You can do the same thing by editing the Page
Titles of all affected pages, but this sure is easier!! |

In the new Rent Roll, sorting on the Start
and End columns would mis-sort if some of the dates were after the turn of the century.
Thanks to Leigh Johnstone. Also in the Rent Roll, entering/editing some values would
mis-compute and save wrongly when Monthly was checked. Thanks to Cliff
Crowe for the report. Additionally, several users have reported occasional (and
non-repeatable) difficulty in exiting the Rent Roll, occasionally causing a planEASe
shutdown. We think we have fixed this problem, and would appreciate any reports
of continued difficulty in this area. |

The first and last years of the Square Footage
/ Units Income Statements were not corrected to show full year values in the case
where the columns represented partial years. Many thanks to Don Huddleston for the
suggestion. |

Lease Analysis now comes up in Lease View
if you are viewing/editing a Revenue Assumption Page (and Summary View, as before,
if you are not on a Revenue Page). If you rename the Risk Button to Lease (see File/Preferences),
it provides an instant expanded audit of your lease as you are structuring it. |

The 1997 Tax Bill establishes a Capital Gain
Tax Law for Individuals (NOT Corporations) that recaptures any Cost Recovery (Depreciation)
taken during the Holding Period at a 25% Tax Rate. After this Cost Recovery Recapture,
the remaining Capital Gain is taxed at the new 20% rate widely publicized in the
press. This separation of the Capital Gain into two "buckets" taxed at different
rates required that we change planEASe both to allow you to enter the required rates
(which may change) and allow planEASe to calculate the resulting Capital Gain Tax
amount. The format and logic of the Sale Report has also been revised for the logic
in the new law, and we now allow you to set the prior Cost Recovery amount as well
as Substitute Basis for properties exchanged into. Please refer to the fuller details
in the Help File's Capital Gain Rate, Cost Recovery Recapture Rate,
and Exchange Basis topics. Many many thanks to Gene Trowbridge for his
help here.
You will find that your Assumption Sets from
previous versions are seamlessly read into version 6.1 (and following), and the
previous Capital Gains Rate and Capital Gain Inclusion fields are automatically
converted into the 20% Capital Gain Rate and the new 25% Cost Recovery Recapture
Rate without your having to enter them. You can, of course, change these fields
to whatever (fictitious) values you want thereafter, if you want to investigate
the effect of further rate adventures on the part of our government. Both these
rates for Corporations remain at 34%, so be sure to change them back to 34% for
any Assumptions Sets prepared for Corporate investors.

If you entered a negative loan, the APOD
erroneously showed the debt service to be positive. Other reports displayed properly.
Thanks to Terry Moore for the report. |

In Income Statements we've added
a "Cum Suspended Losses" line in the tax section showing the total amount of suspended
losses at the end of each year. Thanks to Gene Trowbridge and Carl Russell for the
suggestion. |

Bug |
In version 6.1 (not earlier versions) the
File/Open Assumptions dialog would not display the Investment Name and
Assumption Set Comments for Assumption Sets saved with version 6.1. Assumption Sets
saved with earlier versions displayed properly. Likewise, in Edit/Transfer Pages,
if you used OpenSourceFile with an Assumption Set saved with version 6.1,
the page titles would not display properly and the source file could not be used
for Transfer Pages. Assumption Sets saved with earlier versions displayed
properly. Thanks to Gary Gregory for the first report. |

When using Expense Growth Methods 10 and
11 (Linear Growth), you would more often than not get nonsensical values. These
methods worked fine for revenues. Thanks to Phil Woollcott for the report. |
