NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



Note A – Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Angeles Partners X (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  The general partner responsible for management of the Partnership's business is Angeles Realty Corporation (the "General Partner" or "ARC").  In the opinion of the General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.  The General Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company (“AIMCO”), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.


Recent Accounting Pronouncement


In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 154 effective January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.


Note B – Transactions with Affiliated Parties


The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities.  The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and  reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.  


Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership’s property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $17,000 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 which are included in operating expenses.


Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $11,000 and $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses and investment property.  The portion of these reimbursements included in investment property for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are fees related to construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $2,000 and $8,000, respectively.










In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $530,000 to repay the mortgage encumbering Carriage Hills Apartments and to cover operating expenses during 2004. Additional advances of approximately $160,000 to fund capital improvements and operating expenses at Carriage Hills Apartments were made during the second and third quarters of 2005. Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 2% (9.75% at March 31, 2006).  Interest expense was approximately $14,000 and $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership made payments of accrued interest of approximately $37,000 with cash from operations. There were no such payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2006, the total amount of advances and accrued interest due to an affiliate of the General Partner was approximately $709,000 and is included in due to affiliates.


Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is entitled to receive a distribution equal to 4% of the aggregate disposition price of sold properties. The Partnership paid a distribution of approximately $210,000 to the General Partner related to the sale of Greentree Apartments in 2003. The Partnership paid a distribution of approximately $154,000 to the General Partner related to the sale of Vista Hills Apartments in 1999. These distributions are subordinate to the limited partners receiving their original capital contributions plus a cumulative preferred return of 6% per annum of their adjusted capital investment, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. If the limited partners have not received these returns when the Partnership terminates, the General Partner will be required to return these amounts to the Partnership.


The Partnership Agreement provides for a fee equal to 5% of “net cash flow from operations”, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, to be paid to the General Partner for executive and administrative services.  The General Partner did not earn a fee for the three months ended March 31, 2006 or 2005.  


The Partnership insures its property up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers’ compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability.  The Partnership insures its property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2006,  the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $26,000 for hazard insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.  Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2006 as  other insurance policies renew later in the year.  The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $19,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2005.


Note C – Contingencies


In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain General









Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 28, 2002, the trial court granted defendants motion to strike the complaint.  Plaintiffs took an appeal from this order.


On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action. On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal (the “Appeal”) seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On May 4, 2004, the Objector filed a second appeal challenging the court’s use of a referee and its order requiring Objector to pay those fees.


On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals.  With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals vacated the trial court’s order and remanded to the trial court for further findings on the basis that the “state of the record is insufficient to permit meaningful appellate review”. The matter was transferred back to the trial court on June 21, 2005. With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. With respect to the related Heller appeal, on July 28, 2005, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s order striking the first amended complaint.


On August 18, 2005, Objector and his counsel filed a motion to disqualify the trial court based on a peremptory challenge and filed a motion to disqualify for cause on October 17, 2005, both of which were ultimately denied and/or struck by the trial court.  On or about October 13, 2005 Objector filed a motion to intervene and on or about October 19, 2005 filed both a motion to take discovery relating to the adequacy of plaintiffs as derivative representatives and a motion to dissolve the anti-suit injunction in connection with settlement.  On November 14, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Motion For Further Findings pursuant to the remand ordered by the Court of Appeals. Defendants joined in that motion.  On February 3, 2006, the Court held a hearing on the various matters pending before it and has ordered additional briefing from the parties and Objector. The parties and Objector submitted one final round of briefing to the Court and the matter has been submitted for the Court’s decision.


The General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership’s overall operations.


AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that they willfully violated the Fair








Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week.   In June 2005 the Court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues, which allows the plaintiffs to provide notice of the collective action to all non-exempt maintenance workers from August 7, 2000 through the present.  Notices have been sent out to all current and former hourly maintenance workers. Although 1,049 individuals opted-in to the class the defendants will be challenging the eligibility and timeliness of some. Defendants will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action with briefing that commences in August.  Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, on September 26, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and on November 5, 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court.  The California case has been stayed, while discovery in the Maryland case proceeds. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.


The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment property that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.


Environmental


Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of its property, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property.


Mold


The Partnership is aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the









presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements.  The Partnership has only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure.  Affiliates of the General Partner have implemented a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from its properties and

the General Partner believes that these measures will minimize the effects that mold could have on residents.  To date, the Partnership has not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions.  Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change the General Partner can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.









ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Registrant and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Registrant operates; financing risks, including the risk that cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting and defending claims and any adverse outcomes, and possible environmental liabilities. Readers should carefully review the Registrant's financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the documents the Registrant files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


The Partnership's investment property consists of one apartment complex. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the Partnership's property for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005:

 

 

Average Occupancy

Property

2006

2005

   

Carriage Hills Apartments

94%

88%

  East Lansing, Michigan

  


The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Carriage Hills Apartments to increased marketing efforts.


The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment property, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment property, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment property to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions; accordingly, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively affect the Partnership’s financial results.


Results of Operations


The Partnership’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $61,000, compared to approximately $34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The increase in net loss is due to an increase in total expenses, partially offset by an increase in total revenues.  The increase in total expenses is due to increases in depreciation and interest expenses, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses.  Both property tax and general and administrative expenses remained relatively constant for the comparable periods.  The increase in depreciation expense is due to property improvements and replacements placed into service at the Partnership’s investment property during the past twelve months.  The increase in interest expense is primarily due to a higher, variable interest rate on the mortgage encumbering Carriage Hills Apartments and an increase in interest on advances from an affiliate of the General Partner.  The decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to decreases in employee housing and utility expenses.









Included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies, and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.


The increase in total revenues is due to an increase in rental income, partially offset by a decrease in other income.  The increase in rental income is primarily due to increases in occupancy and the average rental rate at the Partnership’s investment property.  The decrease in other income is primarily due to decreases in lease cancellation fees and tenant application fees.  


Liquidity and Capital Resources  


At March 31, 2006, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $121,000, compared to approximately $60,000 at March 31, 2005.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $81,000, from December 31, 2005, is due to approximately $38,000, $25,000 and $18,000 of cash used in operating, financing and investing activities, respectively.  Cash used in financing activities consisted of payments of principal made on the mortgage encumbering Carriage Hills Apartments. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.


The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the investment property to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state and local legal and regulatory requirements.  The General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance.  For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional compliance measures with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these changes, the Partnership expects that it will incur higher expenses related to compliance.  Capital improvements planned for the Partnership's property are detailed below.


During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $18,000 of capital improvements at Carriage Hills Apartments, consisting primarily of floor covering replacement. These improvements were funded from operations.  The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property.  While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2006.  Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.


Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership reserves, or advances from an affiliate of the General Partner.  To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.


The Partnership’s assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Partnership’s property of approximately $4,748,000 is amortized over 30 years with a balloon payment of approximately $4,598,000 due on September 15, 2007. Interest is equal to the Fannie Mae discounted mortgage-backed security index plus 85 basis points (5.59% at March 31, 2006).  The interest rate resets monthly.  The General Partner has the option to extend the maturity for five years. After that period, the General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the property. If the property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure.


There were no distributions made to the partners during the three months ended March 31, 2006 or 2005. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, the timing of the debt maturity, refinancing, and/or









property sale. The Partnership’s cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. In light of the amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the General Partner, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after required capital expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners in 2006 or subsequent periods.  


Other


In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 11,518 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 61.84% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2006.  A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates.  It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in the Partnership in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters, that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner.  As a result of its ownership of 61.84% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership.  Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.  As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions.  The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.   


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Investment property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.


Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership’s investment property. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; and changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing. Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Partnership’s asset.










Revenue Recognition


The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.  The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area.  Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.


(b)

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.









PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 28, 2002, the trial court granted defendants motion to strike the complaint.  Plaintiffs took an appeal from this order.


On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action. On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal (the “Appeal”) seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On May 4, 2004, the Objector filed a second appeal challenging the court’s use of a referee and its order requiring Objector to pay those fees.


On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals.  With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals vacated the trial court’s order and remanded to the trial court for further findings on the basis that the “state of the record is insufficient to permit meaningful appellate review”. The matter was transferred back to the trial court on June 21, 2005. With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. With respect to the related Heller appeal, on July 28, 2005, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s order striking the first amended complaint.


On August 18, 2005, Objector and his counsel filed a motion to disqualify the trial court based on a peremptory challenge and filed a motion to disqualify for cause on October 17, 2005, both of which were ultimately denied and/or struck by the trial court.  On or about October 13, 2005 Objector filed a motion to intervene and on or about October 19, 2005 filed both a motion to take discovery relating to the adequacy of plaintiffs as derivative representatives and a motion to dissolve the anti-suit injunction in connection with settlement.  On November 14, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Motion For Further Findings pursuant to the remand ordered by the Court of Appeals. Defendants joined in that motion.  On February 3, 2006, the Court held a hearing on the various matters pending before it and has ordered additional briefing from the parties and Objector.  The parties and Objector submitted one final round of briefing to the Court and the matter has been submitted for the Court’s decision.










The General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership’s overall operations.


AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week.   In June 2005 the Court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues, which allows the plaintiffs to provide notice of the collective action to all non-exempt maintenance workers from August 7, 2000 through the present.  Notices have been sent out to all current and former hourly maintenance workers. Although 1,049 individuals opted-in to the class the defendants will be challenging the eligibility and timeliness of some. Defendants will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action with briefing that commences in August.  Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, on September 26, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and on November 5, 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court.  The California case has been stayed, while discovery in the Maryland case proceeds. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
