NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note A – Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties, LP (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-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of ConCap Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner"), which is ultimately owned by Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 reflect the operations of The Loft Apartments as income from discontinued operations as it meets the criteria in SFAS No. 144 to be classified as held for sale. The Partnership has been actively marketing the property for sale during 2008, and the Partnership entered into a sale contract on October 28, 2008 to sell the Loft Apartments to a third party. Included in income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are results of the property’s operations of approximately $134,000 and $10,000, respectively, including revenues of approximately $422,000 and $392,000, respectively. Included in income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are results of the property’s operations of approximately $318,000 and $45,000, respectively, including revenues of approximately $1,236,000 and $1,187,000, respectively. As a result of The Loft Apartments meeting all criteria in SFAS No. 144 to be classified as held for sale at September 30, 2008, its assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

 

Organization: On April 25, 2008, the Partnership changed its domicile from California to Delaware by merging with and into Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, with the Delaware partnership as the surviving entity in the merger. The merger was undertaken pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 19, 2008, by and between the California partnership and the Delaware partnership.

 

Under the merger agreement, each unit of limited partnership interest in the California partnership was converted into an identical unit of limited partnership in the Delaware partnership and the general partnership interest in the California partnership previously held by the general partner was converted into a general partnership interest in the Delaware partnership. All interests in the Delaware partnership outstanding immediately prior to the merger were cancelled in the merger.

 

The voting and other rights of the limited partners provided for in the partnership agreement were not changed as a result of the merger. In the merger, the partnership agreement of the California partnership was adopted as the partnership agreement of the Delaware partnership, with the following changes: (i) references therein to the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act were amended to refer to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act; (ii) a description of the merger was added; (iii) the name of the partnership was changed to “Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties, LP” and (iv) a provision was added that gives the general partner authority to establish different designated series of limited partnership interests that have separate rights with respect to specified partnership property, and profits and losses associated with such specified property.

 

On April 30, 2008, the General Partner amended the Partnership Agreement to establish, and convert existing limited partnership interests into, different designated series of limited partnership interests that have separate rights with respect to specified partnership property. Effective as of the close of business on April 30, 2008 (the “Establishment Date”), each then outstanding Unit of limited partnership interest in the Partnership was converted into one Series A Unit, one Series B Unit and one Series C Unit. Except as described below, the Series A Units, Series B Units and Series C Units entitle the holders thereof to the same rights as the holders of Units of limited partnership interests had prior to the Establishment Date.

 

From and after the Establishment Date, the Series A Units will be entitled to all of the Partnership’s interests in any entity in which the Partnership owns an interest, other than the Series B Subsidiary and Series C Subsidiary (as defined below), including, but not limited to, all profits, losses and distributions from such entities.

 

From and after the Establishment Date, the Series B Units will be entitled to all of the Partnership’s membership interest in CCIP Knolls, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Series B Subsidiary”), including, but not limited to, all profits, losses and distributions from The Knolls Apartments.

 

From and after the Establishment Date, the Series C Units will be entitled to all of the Partnership’s membership interest in CCIP Society Park East, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Series C Subsidiary”), including, but not limited to, all profits, losses and distributions from The Dunes Apartments.

 

Reclassifications:  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 balances to conform to the 2008 presentation.

 

Segment Reporting: SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports.  SFAS No. 131 also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.  (See "Note D" for detailed disclosure of the Partnership's segments).

 

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 all of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $995,000 and $970,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in operating expenses and income from discontinued operations.


Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $588,000 and $681,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses, investment properties and assets held for sale. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties and assets held for sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $234,000 and $295,000, respectively.

The Partnership insures its properties 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 properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $587,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Distributions from the affiliated partnerships are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance until the investment balance is reduced to zero. When the investment balance has been reduced to zero, subsequent distributions received are recognized as income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership received approximately $33,000 of distributions from refinance proceeds of one of its affiliated partnerships, Consolidated Capital Growth Fund, which was recognized as income as that investment balance had been reduced to zero. There were no distributions received during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership recognized approximately $3,000 and $11,000, respectively, in equity in loss from investments related to its allocated share of the loss from one of the affiliated partnerships. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized approximately $2,000 and $5,000, respectively, in equity in loss related to its allocated share of the loss from one of the affiliated partnerships.

 

Note D – Segment Reporting

 

Description of the types of products and services from which the reportable segment derives its revenues: The Partnership has two reportable segments: residential properties and commercial property.  The Partnership’s property segments consist of six apartment complexes; one in North Carolina, which is classified as held for sale, one in Colorado, four in Florida and one multiple use facility consisting of apartment units and commercial space in Pennsylvania.   The Partnership rents apartment units to tenants for terms that are typically less than twelve months.  The commercial property leases space to various medical offices, career service facilities, and retail shops at terms ranging from month to month to ten years.

 

Measurement of segment profit and loss:  The Partnership evaluates performance based on segment profit (loss) before depreciation.  The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Factors management used to identify the Partnership's reportable segment: The Partnership’s reportable segments are business units (investment properties) that offer different products and services.  The reportable segments are each managed separately because they provide distinct services with different types of products and customers.

 


Segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is shown in the tables below (in thousands). The "Other" column includes Partnership administration related items and income and expense not allocated to reportable segments.

Note E – Casualty Events

 

In August 2008, The Dunes Apartments sustained damages from Tropical Storm Fay of approximately $40,000, including estimated clean up costs of approximately $20,000, which were included in operating expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 the Partnership recognized a casualty loss of approximately $13,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets, as insurance proceeds are not expected to be received.

 

In August 2008, Regency Oaks Apartments sustained damages from Tropical Storm Fay of approximately $55,000, including estimated clean up costs of approximately $28,000, which were included in operating expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 the Partnership recognized a casualty loss of approximately $14,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $18,000, partially offset by anticipated insurance proceeds of approximately $4,000.


In August 2008, Plantation Gardens Apartments sustained damages from Tropical Storm Fay of approximately $8,000, which were estimated clean up costs and were included in operating expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

 

In April 2007, there was a fire at Palm Lake Apartments. The property incurred damages of approximately $38,000. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recorded a casualty loss of approximately $2,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $30,000 net of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $28,000.

 

In September 2006, there was a fire at Plantation Gardens Apartments. The property incurred damages of approximately $82,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recorded a casualty gain of approximately $3,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $71,000 net of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $68,000.

 

During 2005, Plantation Gardens Apartments sustained damages from Hurricane Wilma.  During 2006, the Partnership recognized a casualty loss as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets, net of the receipt of insurance proceeds, approximately $1,171,000 of which was received by and held on deposit with the mortgage lender at December 31, 2006.  These proceeds were released by the mortgage lender to the Partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized an additional casualty gain of approximately $45,000 and $69,000, respectively, as a result of the receipt of additional insurance proceeds.

 

Note F – Partnership Income Taxes

 

In conjunction with the payment of local income taxes with respect to The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center, the Partnership has recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of approximately $391,000.  The deferred tax asset consists primarily of temporary differences related to land, buildings and accumulated depreciation. In a prior year, the Partnership had established a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $333,000 against the deferred tax asset, as the Partnership believed it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would not be realized.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership reconsidered its assessment of whether the deferred tax asset would be realized.  As a result of the completion of the redevelopment project at The Sterling Apartment Homes, the Partnership now believes that it is more likely than not that the full value of the deferred tax asset will be realized through future taxable income of the property. Accordingly, the reduction of the valuation allowance of approximately $333,000 is reflected as a deferred income tax benefit on the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized an additional benefit of approximately $14,000. An additional benefit of approximately $30,000 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership recognized approximately $25,000 and $77,000, respectively, in current income tax expense related to local income taxes with respect to The Sterling Apartments Homes and Commerce Center.

 

Note G – Investment Properties

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of The Knolls Apartments. The Partnership determined that certain criteria of SFAS No. 144 were not met at September 30, 2008 and therefore continues to report the assets and liabilities of the investment property as held for investment and its respective operations as continuing operations. In accordance with the Partnership’s impairment policy and SFAS No. 144, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership recorded an impairment loss of approximately $2,400,000, to write the carrying amount of the property down to the expected sale price. The Partnership expects to sell the property during the fourth quarter of 2008.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of Palm Lake Apartments, which is projected to close during the fourth quarter of 2008.  The Partnership determined that certain criteria of SFAS No. 144 were not met at September 30, 2008 and therefore continues to report the assets and liabilities of the investment property as held for investment and its operations as continuing operations.

 

Note H – Refinancing of Mortgage Notes Payable

 

On September 28, 2007, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering Plantation Gardens Apartments. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage of approximately $7,884,000 with a new mortgage in the amount of approximately $24,815,000. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on November 1, 2007 until the loan matures October 1, 2017, with a fixed interest rate of 6.08% and a balloon payment of approximately $20,855,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to October 1, 2018.  Total capitalized loan costs associated with the new mortgage were approximately $326,000, of which approximately $316,000 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and are included in other assets. The Partnership recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $44,000, which is included in interest expense, as a result of a prepayment penalty, partially offset by the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium. As a condition of the new mortgage loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage.

 

On September 28, 2007, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering Regency Oaks Apartments. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage of approximately $6,191,000 with a new mortgage in the amount of approximately $11,440,000. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on November 1, 2007 until the loan matures October 1, 2017, with a fixed interest rate of 6.16% and a balloon payment of approximately $9,635,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to October 1, 2018.  Total capitalized loan costs associated with the new mortgage were approximately $144,000, of which approximately $134,000 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and are included in other assets. The Partnership recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $33,000, which is included in interest expense, as a result of a prepayment penalty, partially offset by the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium. As a condition of the new mortgage loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage debt encumbering The Sterling Apartment Homes by defeasing the existing mortgage of approximately $20,278,000 at a fixed interest rate of 6.77% scheduled to mature in October 2008 with a portion of the proceeds from a new mortgage in the amount of $80,000,000. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on January 1, 2008 until the loan matures December 1, 2017, with a fixed interest rate of 5.84% and a balloon payment of approximately $66,807,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to December 1, 2018. Total capitalized loan costs associated with the new mortgage were approximately $571,000, of which approximately $15,000 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and are included in other assets. During the fourth quarter of 2007 the Partnership recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $566,000 as a result of the payment of costs associated with the defeasance of the previous debt and the write off of unamortized loan costs.  As a condition of the new mortgage loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage.

 

Note I – Contingencies

 

The Partnership has previously disclosed in its quarterly, annual and current reports the legal proceedings related to the Nuanes and Heller actions.  On June 30, 2006, the trial court entered an order confirming its approval of the class action settlement and entering judgment thereto after the Court of Appeal had remanded the matter for further findings.  On August 31, 2006, an objector filed an appeal from the order.  The Court of Appeal issued an opinion on February 20, 2008, affirming the order approving the settlement and judgment entered thereto, and the California Supreme Court thereafter denied the objector’s petition for review.  All appeals have now been exhausted, and the Court’s order approving the settlement and entering judgment is now final.  Payments associated with the settlement were disbursed during September 2008.

 

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”).  The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”).  In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action.  In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions.  In the second quarter 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts will be dismissed. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership was charged approximately $8,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment properties.  At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. The General Partner is uncertain as to the amount of any additional loss that may be allocable to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership cannot estimate whether any additional loss will occur or a potential range of loss.

 

The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment properties 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 properties, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its properties. 

 

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 policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the General Partner believes that these measures will prevent or eliminate mold exposure and will minimize the effects that mold may 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 Of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of redevelopments, the Partnership’s future financial performance, including the Partnership’s ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy and rent levels, and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors that are beyond the Partnership’s control including, without limitation: natural disasters such as hurricanes; national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership’s properties and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates; financing risks, including the risk that the Partnership’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; insurance risks; development risks; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by the Partnership. Readers should carefully review the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and the other documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Partnership's investment properties consist of six properties and one property which is classified as held for sale at September 30, 2008.  The Sterling is a multiple-use facility which consists of an apartment complex and commercial space. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

(1)      The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at The Knolls Apartments to the completion of the redevelopment project in July 2006; the project began during the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

(2)      The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at The Dunes Apartments and Regency Oaks 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 properties, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment properties, 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 properties 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 recognized a net loss of approximately $3,429,000 and $4,886,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to net loss of approximately $55,000 and net income of approximately $614,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the consolidated statements of operations included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 reflect the operations of The Loft Apartments as income from discontinued operations as it meets the criteria in SFAS No. 144 to be classified as held for sale. The Partnership has been actively marketing the property for sale during 2008 and the Partnership entered into a sale contract on October 28, 2008 to sell The Loft Apartments to a third party. Included in income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are results of the property’s operations of approximately $134,000 and $10,000, respectively, including revenues of approximately $422,000 and $392,000, respectively. Included in income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are results of the property’s operations of approximately $318,000 and $45,000, respectively, including revenues of approximately $1,236,000 and $1,187,000, respectively. As a result of The Loft Apartments meeting all criteria in SFAS No. 144 to be classified as held for sale at September 30, 2008, its assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

 

The Partnership recognized loss before discontinued operations of approximately $3,563,000 and $5,204,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to loss before discontinued operations of approximately $65,000 and income before discontinued operations of approximately $569,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The increase in loss before discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due to the recognition of an impairment loss during 2008, a decrease in deferred tax benefit, casualty losses in 2008, an increase in equity in loss from investment and an increase in total expenses, partially offset by increases in total revenues and distributions received in excess of investment in 2008.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of The Knolls Apartments. The Partnership determined that certain criteria of SFAS No. 144 were not met at September 30, 2008 and therefore continues to report the assets and liabilities of the investment property as held for investment and its respective operations as continuing operations. In accordance with the Partnership’s impairment policy and SFAS No. 144, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership recorded an impairment loss of approximately $2,400,000, to write the carrying amount of the property down to the expected sale price. The Partnership expects to sell the property during the fourth quarter of 2008.

 

The increase in total expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due to increases in operating, depreciation and interest expenses. General and administrative expenses and property tax expenses remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. The increase in operating expenses for both periods is primarily due to increases in hazard insurance premiums at four of the Partnership’s residential properties and the commercial property and repairs incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 related to various minor casualties at five of the Partnership’s properties and clean up costs incurred from Tropical Storm Fay at Plantation Gardens Apartments, The Dunes Apartment Homes and Regency Oaks Apartments, as discussed below. The increase in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is also due to an increase in salaries and related benefits at four of the Partnership’s residential properties and the commercial property and contract services at five of the Partnership’s residential properties, partially offset by decreases in salaries and related benefits at two of the Partnership’s residential properties and utilities at four of the Partnership’s residential properties. The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is also due to an increase in salaries and related benefits at five of the Partnership’s residential properties and the commercial property, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and related benefits at one of the Partnership’s residential properties. Depreciation expense increased for both periods primarily due to property improvements and replacements placed into service at four of the Partnership’s residential properties during the past twelve months. The increase in interest expense for both periods is primarily due to an increase in the carrying balance of the mortgage notes as a result of the refinancings of the mortgages encumbering The Sterling Apartment Homes, Plantation Gardens Apartments and Regency Oaks Apartments in 2007, partially offset by a decrease in interest incurred on advances from an affiliate of the General Partner.

 

Included in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are 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 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to an increase in rental income. The increase in total revenues for the nine month period is also due to an increase in other income, which remained relatively constant for the three month period. The increase in rental income for both periods is primarily due to increases in average rental rates at three of the Partnership’s residential properties and the commercial property and increases in occupancy at five of the Partnership’s residential properties, partially offset by decreases in the average rental rate at three of the Partnership’s residential properties. The increase in other income for the nine month period is due to increases in utility reimbursements at the Sterling Apartment Homes, common area maintenance reimbursements at The Sterling Commerce Center and interest income as a result of higher average cash balances.

 

In conjunction with the payment of local income taxes with respect to The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center, the Partnership has recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of approximately $391,000.  The deferred tax asset consists primarily of temporary differences related to land, buildings and accumulated depreciation. In a prior year, the Partnership had established a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $333,000 against the deferred tax asset, as the Partnership believed it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would not be realized.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership reconsidered its assessment of whether the deferred tax asset would be realized.  As a result of the completion of the redevelopment project at The Sterling Apartment Homes, the Partnership now believes that it is more likely than not that the full value of the deferred tax asset will be realized through future taxable income of the property. Accordingly, the reduction of the valuation allowance of approximately $333,000 is reflected as a deferred income tax benefit on the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized an additional benefit of approximately $14,000. An additional benefit of approximately $30,000 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership recognized approximately $25,000 and $77,000, respectively, in current income tax expense related to local income taxes with respect to The Sterling Apartments Homes and Commerce Center.

 

In August 2008, The Dunes Apartments sustained damages from Tropical Storm Fay of approximately $40,000, including estimated clean up costs of approximately $20,000, which were included in operating expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 the Partnership recognized a casualty loss of approximately $13,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets, as insurance proceeds are not expected to be received.

 

In August 2008, Regency Oaks Apartments sustained damages from Tropical Storm Fay of approximately $55,000, including estimated clean up costs of approximately $28,000, which were included in operating expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 the Partnership recognized a casualty loss of approximately $14,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $18,000, partially offset by anticipated insurance proceeds of approximately $4,000.

 

In August 2008, Plantation Gardens Apartments sustained damages from Tropical Storm Fay of approximately $8,000, which were estimated clean up costs and were included in operating expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

 

In April 2007, there was a fire at Palm Lake Apartments. The property incurred damages of approximately $38,000. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recorded a casualty loss of approximately $2,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $30,000 net of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $28,000.

 

In September 2006, there was a fire at Plantation Gardens Apartments. The property incurred damages of approximately $82,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recorded a casualty gain of approximately $3,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $71,000 net of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $68,000.

 

During 2005, Plantation Gardens Apartments sustained damages from Hurricane Wilma.  During 2006, the Partnership recognized a casualty loss as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets, net of the receipt of insurance proceeds, approximately $1,171,000 of which was received by and held on deposit with the mortgage lender at December 31, 2006.  These proceeds were released by the mortgage lender to the Partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized an additional casualty gain of approximately $45,000 and $69,000, respectively, as a result of the receipt of additional insurance proceeds.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership recognized approximately $3,000 and $11,000, respectively, in equity in loss from investments related to its allocated share of the loss from one of the affiliated partnerships. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized approximately $2,000 and $5,000, respectively, in equity in loss related to its allocated share of the loss from one of the affiliated partnerships. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Distributions from the affiliated partnerships are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance until the investment balance is reduced to zero. When the investment balance has been reduced to zero, subsequent distributions received are recognized as income in the consolidated statements of operations included in “Item 1. Financial Statements”. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership received approximately $33,000 of distributions from refinance proceeds of one of its affiliated partnerships, Consolidated Capital Growth Fund, which was recognized as income as that investment balance had been reduced to zero. There were no distributions received during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

At September 30, 2008, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $978,000, compared to approximately $13,761,000 at September 30, 2007.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $1,983,000, from December 31, 2007, due to approximately $3,315,000 and $2,417,000 of cash used in investing and financing activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $3,749,000 of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements, partially offset by distributions from an affiliated partnership. Cash used in financing activities consisted of principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership's properties, a distribution to partners, lease commissions paid and loan costs paid, partially offset by advances from an affiliate. 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 properties 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.  Capital improvements planned for each of the Partnership’s properties are detailed below.

 

The Loft Apartments

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $262,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting primarily of heating and air conditioning unit upgrades and floor covering replacement. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow.  This property is classified as held for sale at September 30, 2008.

 

The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $815,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of tenant improvements, heating and swimming pool upgrades, structural improvements and floor covering replacement.  These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. 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 the remainder of 2008.  Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

The Knolls Apartments

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $237,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of kitchen and bath upgrades and window and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from affiliates. 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 the remainder of 2008.  Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Plantation Gardens Apartments

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $515,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of electrical, elevator, air conditioning unit and kitchen and bath upgrades and floor covering replacement.  These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. 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 the remainder of 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Palm Lake Apartments

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $475,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of kitchen and bath upgrades, air conditioning unit upgrades, electrical upgrades and cabinet, appliance and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. 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 the remainder of 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

The Dunes Apartments

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $333,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of interior improvements, kitchen and bath upgrades, swimming pool upgrades, and appliance and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. 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 the remainder of 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Regency Oaks Apartments

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $382,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of air conditioning unit and lighting upgrades, roof replacement, kitchen and bath upgrades, major landscaping, signage and floor covering replacement.  These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. 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 the remainder of 2008. 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 to the extent of cash available from operations or from Partnership reserves.  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 properties of approximately $128,470,000 requires monthly payments of principal and interest and balloon payments of approximately $12,223,000 and $97,297,000 during 2010 and 2017, respectively.  The General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to such maturity dates. If the properties cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such properties through foreclosure.


The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands, except per unit data):

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, the timing of debt maturities, property sales and/or refinancings. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital improvement expenditures, to permit additional distributions to its partners in 2008 or subsequent periods.

 

Other

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 152,648.05 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 76.69% of the outstanding Units at September 30, 2008.  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 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 would 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 76.69% 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 properties are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable, and the investment properties foreclosed upon in the third quarter of 2002 and fourth quarter of 2003 were recorded at fair market value at the time of the foreclosures. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a 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 properties.  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 assets.

 

Capitalized Costs Related to Redevelopment and Construction Projects

 

The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects. Costs including interest, property taxes and operating costs associated with redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress in accordance with SFAS No. 34, “Capitalization of Interest Costs”, and SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.” Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital expenditure activities at the property level. 

 

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 leases certain commercial space to tenants under various lease terms.  The leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases".  Some of the leases contain stated rental increases during their term.  For leases with fixed rental increases, rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.  For all other leases, minimum rents are recognized over the terms of the leases.

 

Item 4T.    Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)   Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

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)   Changes in 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.

 

The Partnership has previously disclosed in its quarterly, annual and current reports the legal proceedings related to the Nuanes and Heller actions.  On June 30, 2006, the trial court entered an order confirming its approval of the class action settlement and entering judgment thereto after the Court of Appeal had remanded the matter for further findings.  On August 31, 2006, an objector filed an appeal from the order.  The Court of Appeal issued an opinion on February 20, 2008, affirming the order approving the settlement and judgment entered thereto, and the California Supreme Court thereafter denied the objector’s petition for review.  All appeals have now been exhausted, and the Court’s order approving the settlement and entering judgment is now final.  Payments associated with the settlement were disbursed during September 2008.

 

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”).  The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”).  In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action.  In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions.  In the second quarter 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel.  As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts will be dismissed. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership was charged approximately $8,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment properties.  At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. The General Partner is uncertain as to the amount of any additional loss that may be allocable to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership cannot estimate whether any additional loss will occur or a potential range of loss.

3.5.2          In providing the Materials to Purchaser, other than Seller’s Representations, Seller makes no representation or warranty, express, written, oral, statutory, or implied, and all such representations and warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed.  All Materials are provided for informational purposes only and, together with all Third-Party Reports, shall be returned by Purchaser to Seller (or the destruction thereof shall be certified in writing by Purchaser to Seller) as a condition to return of the Deposit to Purchaser if this Contract is terminated for any reason.  Recognizing that the Materials delivered or made available by Seller pursuant to this Contract may not be complete or constitute all of such documents which are in Seller’s possession or control, but are those that are readily and reasonably available to Seller, Purchaser shall not in any way be entitled to rely upon the completeness or accuracy of the Materials and will instead in all instances rely exclusively on its own Inspections and Consultants with respect to all matters which it deems relevant to its decision to acquire, own and operate the Property. 

3.5.3          In addition to the items set forth on Schedule 3.5, no later than 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or otherwise make available to Purchaser as provided under Section 3.5.1) the most recent rent roll for the Property listing the move-in date, monthly base rent payable, lease expiration date and unapplied security deposit for each Lease (the “Rent Roll”).  Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the Rent Roll other than the express representation set forth in Section 6.1.6.

Additionally, in respect of any commercial lease affecting the Property, including, without limitation, any lease for laundry equipment, Seller shall, at no cost or expense to Seller, cooperate reasonably with Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts to obtain on or before Closing any subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement (“Subordination Agreement”) that may be required by any lender to Purchaser as a condition to funding any loan to be secured by the Property.

Within 5 calendar days after the Effective Date, Seller agrees to deliver or make available to Purchaser as part of the Materials, copies of the HAP Contracts which are in Seller’s possession or reasonable control (subject to Section 3.5.2).  At Closing, Purchaser either (a) shall assume all obligations under the HAP Contracts and accept title to the Property subject to the same, or (b) the existing HAP Contracts shall be terminated, and Purchaser shall enter into replacement Housing Assistance Payment contracts which are acceptable to the Housing Authority (either (a) or (b) meaning the “HAP Assumption”).  No later than 15 days after the Effective Date, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall submit all applications, documents, information, materials, and fees to the Housing Authority, required in order for the Housing Authority to approve Purchaser’s request for pre-approval as an entity qualified to assume the HAP Contracts, and shall diligently proceed using its best efforts to obtain such pre-approval as soon as possible.

From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of any new HAP Contracts entered into by Seller after the Effective Date with respect to the Property.  The provisions of this Section 4.8 shall survive Closing, and Purchaser shall accomplish the HAP Assumption after the Closing and Seller shall have no obligations with respect to such HAP Assumption; provided, however Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to accomplish the HAP Assumption (to the extent necessary) at no out of pocket cost to Seller.

5.4.2          Operating Expenses.  All of the operating, maintenance, taxes (other than real estate taxes), and other expenses incurred in operating the Property that Seller customarily pays, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business for the management and operation of the Property, shall be prorated on an accrual basis.  Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall pay all such expenses that accrue from and after the Closing Date.

5.4.3          Utilities.  The final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Date, in which case Seller shall pay all such bills as of the Closing Date and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills.  Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the parties' reasonable good faith estimate.  Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposit(s) posted by it with any utility company, and Seller shall notify each utility company serving the Property to terminate Seller's account, effective as of noon on the Closing Date.

5.4.4          Real Estate Taxes.  Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved.  The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount) for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, however, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using figures from the preceding year (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount).  The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be final and not subject to re-adjustment after Closing. 

5.4.5          Property Contracts.  Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser (other than the Terminated Contacts, if any); however, operating expenses shall be prorated under Section 5.4.2.

5.4.6          Leases.

5.4.6.1       All collected rent (whether fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, escalation rentals, retroactive rentals, operating cost pass-throughs or other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the Leases), income and expenses from any portion of the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates from and after the Closing Date.  Seller shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates prior to the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prorations shall be made in relation to either (a) non-delinquent rents which have not been collected as of the Closing Date, or (b) delinquent rents existing, if any, as of the Closing Date (the foregoing (a) and (b) referred to herein as the “Uncollected Rents”).  In adjusting for Uncollected Rents, no adjustments shall be made in Seller’s favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid as of the Closing, but Purchaser shall pay Seller such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees to bill Tenants of the Property for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions to collect Uncollected Rents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s obligation to collect Uncollected Rents shall be limited to Uncollected Rents of not more than 90 days past due, and Purchaser’s collection of rents shall be applied, first, towards current rent due and owing under the Leases, and, second, to Uncollected Rents.  After the Closing, Seller shall continue to have the right, but not the obligation, in its own name, to demand payment of and to collect Uncollected Rents owed to Seller by any Tenant, which right shall include, without limitation, the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant and the delivery of the Leases Assignment shall not constitute a waiver by Seller of such right; provided however, that the foregoing right of Seller shall be limited to actions seeking monetary damages and, in no event, shall Seller seek to evict any Tenants in any action to collect Uncollected Rents.  Purchaser agrees to cooperate reasonably with Seller in connection with all efforts by Seller to collect such Uncollected Rents and to take all steps, whether before or after the Closing Date, as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intention of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the delivery to Seller, within 7 days after a written request, of any relevant books and records (including, without limitation, rent statements, receipted bills and copies of tenant checks used in payment of such rent), the execution of any and all consents or other documents, and the undertaking of any act reasonably necessary for the collection of such Uncollected Rents by Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser’s obligation to cooperate with Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate Purchaser to terminate any Tenant lease with an existing Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from the Property.

5.4.6.2       At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the received and unapplied balance of all cash (or cash equivalent) Tenant Deposits, including, but not limited to, security, damage or other refundable deposits paid by any of the Tenants to secure their respective obligations under the Leases, together, in all cases, with any interest payable to the Tenants thereunder as may be required by their respective Tenant Lease or state law (the “Tenant Security Deposit Balance”).  Any cash (or cash equivalents) held by Seller which constitutes the Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall be retained by Seller in exchange for the foregoing credit against the Purchase Price and shall not be transferred by Seller pursuant to this Contract (or any of the documents delivered at Closing), but the obligation with respect to the Tenant Security Deposit Balance nonetheless shall be assumed by Purchaser.  The Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall not include any non-refundable deposits or fees paid by Tenants to Seller, either pursuant to the Leases or otherwise. 

5.4.7          Insurance.  No proration shall be made in relation to insurance premiums and insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.  Seller shall have the risk of loss of the Property until 11:59 p.m. the day prior to the Closing Date, after which time the risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser and Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining its own insurance thereafter.

5.4.8          Employees.  All of Seller's and Seller's manager's on-site employees shall have their employment at the Property terminated as of the Closing Date.

5.4.9          Closing Costs.  Purchaser shall pay any transfer (including, without limitation, the State documentary fee), sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the Property, any fees for recording the Deed and any other conveyance forms required to be recorded or filed under local law or custom, any premiums or fees required to be paid by Purchaser with respect to the Title Policy pursuant to Section 4.1 (other than the base premium for the Title Policy), and one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent.  Seller shall pay the base premium for the Title Policy and one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent. 

5.4.10        Utility Contracts.  If Seller has entered into an agreement for the purchase of electricity, gas or other utility service for the Property or a group of properties (including the Property) (a "Utility Contract"), or an affiliate of Seller has entered into a Utility Contract, then, at the option of Seller, either (a) Purchaser either shall assume the Utility Contract with respect to the Property, or (b) the reasonably calculated costs of the Utility Contract attributable to the Property from and after the Closing shall be paid to Seller at the Closing and Seller shall remain responsible for payments under the Utility Contract.

5.4.11        Possession.  Possession of the Property, subject to the Leases, Property Contracts, other than Terminated Contracts, and Permitted Exceptions, shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing upon release from escrow of all items to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.3.  To the extent reasonably available to Seller, originals or copies of the Leases and Property Contracts, lease files, warranties, guaranties, operating manuals, keys to the property, and Seller's books and records (other than proprietary information) (collectively, "Seller's Property-Related Files and Records") regarding the Property shall be made available to Purchaser at the Property after the Closing.  Purchaser agrees, for a period of not less than three (3) years after the Closing (the "Records Hold Period"), to (a) provide and allow Seller reasonable access to Seller's Property-Related Files and Records for purposes of inspection and copying thereof at Seller’s sole cost and expense, and (b) reasonably maintain and preserve Seller's Property-Related Files and Records.  If at any time after the Records Hold Period, Purchaser desires to dispose of Seller's Property-Related Files and Records, Purchaser must first provide Seller prior written notice (the "Records Disposal Notice").  Seller shall have a period of 30 days after receipt of the Records Disposal Notice to enter the Property (or such other location where such records are then stored) and remove or copy, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, those of Seller's Property-Related Files and Records that Seller desires to retain.

5.5       Post Closing Adjustments.

  Purchaser or Seller may request that Purchaser and Seller undertake to re-adjust any item on the Proration Schedule (or any item omitted therefrom), with the exception of real property taxes which shall be final and not subject to readjustment, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 of this Contract; provided, however, that neither party shall have any obligation to re-adjust any items (a) after the expiration of 60 days after Closing, or (b) subject to such 60-day period, unless such items exceed $5,000.00 in magnitude (either individually or in the aggregate).

6.2       AS-IS.

  Except for Seller's Representations, the Property is expressly purchased and sold "AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL FAULTS."  The Purchase Price and the terms and conditions set forth herein are the result of arm's-length bargaining between entities familiar with transactions of this kind, and said price, terms and conditions reflect the fact that Purchaser shall have the benefit of, and, except for Seller’s Representations, is not relying upon, any information provided by Seller or Broker or statements, representations or warranties, express or implied, made by or enforceable directly against Seller or Broker, including, without limitation, any relating to the value of the Property, the physical or environmental condition of the Property, any state, federal, county or local law, ordinance, order or permit; or the suitability, compliance or lack of compliance of the Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter of or relating to the Property (other than any covenants of title contained in the Deed conveying the Property and Seller's Representations).  Purchaser agrees that Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser for any defects, errors or omissions, or on account of any conditions affecting the Property.  Purchaser, its successors and assigns, and anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser, hereby fully releases Seller's Indemnified Parties from, and irrevocably waives its right to maintain, any and all claims and causes of action that it or they may now have or hereafter acquire against Seller's Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Losses arising from or related to any defects, errors, omissions or other conditions affecting the Property except, subject to the terms of set forth in Section 6.3 below, for claims or causes of action arising from the fraud or misrepresentation of Seller.  Purchaser represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, it has and shall have reviewed and conducted such independent analyses, studies (including, without limitation, environmental studies and analyses concerning the presence of lead, asbestos, water intrusion and/or fungal growth and any resulting damage, PCBs and radon in and about the Property), reports, investigations and inspections as it deems appropriate in connection with the Property.  If Seller  provides or has provided any documents, summaries, opinions or work product of consultants, surveyors, architects, engineers, title companies, governmental authorities or any other person or entity with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the offering prepared by Broker, Purchaser and Seller agree that Seller has done so or shall do so only for the convenience of both parties, subject to Seller’s Representations, Purchaser shall not rely thereon and the reliance by Purchaser upon any such documents, summaries, opinions or work product shall not create or give rise to any liability of or against Seller's Indemnified Parties.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except for Seller’s Representations, no representation has been made and no responsibility is assumed by Seller with respect to current and future applicable zoning or building code requirements or the compliance of the Property with any other laws, rules, ordinances or regulations, the financial earning capacity or expense history of the Property, the continuation of contracts, continued occupancy levels of the Property, or any part thereof, or the continued occupancy by tenants of any Leases or, without limiting any of the foregoing, occupancy at Closing.  Prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce its rights against any and all Property occupants, guests or tenants.  Purchaser agrees that the departure or removal, prior to Closing, of any of such guests, occupants or tenants shall not be the basis for, nor shall it give rise to, any claim on the part of Purchaser, nor shall it affect the obligations of Purchaser under this Contract in any manner whatsoever; and Purchaser shall close title and accept delivery of the Deed with or without such tenants in possession and without any allowance or reduction in the Purchase Price under this Contract.  Purchaser hereby releases Seller from any and all claims and liabilities relating to the foregoing matters, except, subject to the terms of set forth in Section 6.3 below, for claims and liabilities arising from or in any way connected with the fraud or misrepresentation of Seller. 

6.3       Survival of Seller's Representations.

  Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller's Representations shall survive Closing for a period of 6 months (the "Survival Period").  Seller shall have no liability after the Survival Period with respect to Seller's Representations contained herein except to the extent that Purchaser has requested arbitration against Seller during the Survival Period for breach of any of Seller's Representations.  Under no circumstances shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for more than $150,000 in any individual instance or in the aggregate for all breaches of Seller's Representations, nor shall Purchaser be entitled to bring any claim for a breach of Seller's Representations unless the claim for damages (either in the aggregate or as to any individual claim) by Purchaser exceeds $5,000.  In the event that Seller breaches any representation contained in Section 6.1 and Purchaser had knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing Date, and elected to close regardless, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery, and Seller shall not have any liability in connection therewith.

6.4       Definition of Seller's Knowledge.

  Any representations and warranties made "to the knowledge of Seller" shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry.  For purposes of this Contract, the term Seller's "knowledge" shall mean and refer only to actual knowledge of the Designated Representative of the Seller and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of the Seller, or any affiliate of the Seller, or to impose upon such Designated Representative any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon such Designated Representative any individual personal liability.  As used herein, the term Designated Representative shall refer to Kendra Miller, who is the Regional Property Manager handling this Property (the "Regional Property Manager"). 

6.5       Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.

  For the purpose of inducing Seller to enter into this Contract and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Property in accordance herewith, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller the following as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:

6.5.1          Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California.

6.5.2          Purchaser, acting through any of its or their duly empowered and authorized officers or members, has all necessary entity power and authority to own and use its properties and to transact the business in which it is engaged, and has full power and authority to enter into this Contract, to execute and deliver the documents and instruments required of Purchaser herein, and to perform its obligations hereunder; and no consent of any of Purchaser's partners, directors, officers or members are required to so empower or authorize Purchaser.  The compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is otherwise bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse affect on Purchaser's ability to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Contract.  This Contract is a valid and binding agreement against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

6.5.3          No pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened litigation exists which if determined adversely would restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Contract or would declare illegal, invalid or non-binding any of Purchaser's obligations or covenants to Seller.

6.5.4          Other than Seller's Representations, Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty made by Seller or any representative of Seller (including, without limitation, Broker) in connection with this Contract and the acquisition of the Property.

6.5.5          The Broker and its affiliates do not, and will not at the Closing, have any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser (or in an assignee of Purchaser, which pursuant to Section 13.3, acquires the Property at the Closing), nor has Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser granted (as of the Effective Date or the Closing Date) the Broker or any of its affiliates any right or option to acquire any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser.

6.5.6          Purchaser is not a Prohibited Person.

6.5.7          To Purchaser's knowledge, none of its investors, affiliates or brokers or other agents (if any), acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with this Contract is a Prohibited Person.

6.5.8          The funds or other assets Purchaser will transfer to Seller under this Contract are not the property of, or beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a Prohibited Person.

6.5.9          The funds or other assets Purchaser will transfer to Seller under this Contract are not the proceeds of specified unlawful activity as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1956(c)(7).

6.6       Definition of Purchaser’s Knowledge.

  Any representations and warranties made “to the knowledge of Purchaser” shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry.  For purposes of this Contract, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 6.5 above, the term Purchaser’s “knowledge” shall mean and refer only to actual knowledge of Kurt E. Houtkooper or David Nelson and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of Purchaser, or any affiliate of Purchaser, or to impose upon Kurt E. Houtkooper or David Nelson any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon Kurt E. Houtkooper or upon David Nelson any individual personal liability.

Article VII
OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY

7.1       Leases and Property Contracts.

  During the period of time from the Effective Date to the Closing Date, in the ordinary course of business Seller may enter into new Property Contracts, new Leases, renew existing Leases or modify, terminate or accept the surrender or forfeiture of any of the Leases, modify any Property Contracts, or institute and prosecute any available remedies for default under any Lease or Property Contract without first obtaining the written consent of Purchaser; provided, however, Seller agrees that (a) Seller may only enter into any such new Property Contract if it is terminable on not more than thirty (30) days’ prior notice, and (b) no new or renewed Leases shall have a term in excess of 1 year without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.   Seller shall terminate at or prior to the Closing, at no cost or expense to Purchaser, any and all management agreements affecting the Property.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver all apartment units which are vacant as of the Closing Date (each, a "Vacant Unit") in Rent Ready Condition (as hereinafter defined).  Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly inspect the Property and shall mutually agree on a list of the Vacant Units, which list shall specify those Vacant Units that are not in Rent Ready Condition. At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) for each Vacant Unit which is not in Rent Ready Condition as of the Closing. For purposes hereof, the term "Rent Ready Condition" shall mean interior carpets have been shampooed, interior walls have been freshly painted, kitchen appliances (and water heaters and HVAC to the extent such items serve only the individual Vacant Unit(s)) are in working order, and there is no material damage to the doors, walls, ceilings, floors and windows inside such Vacant Units..

7.2       General Operation of Property.

  Except as specifically set forth in this Article VII, Seller shall operate the Property after the Effective Date in the ordinary course of business, and except as necessary in the Seller's sole discretion to address (a) any life or safety issue at the Property or (b) any other matter which in Seller's reasonable discretion materially adversely affects the use, operation or value of the Property, Seller will not make any material alterations to the Property or remove any material Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property without the prior written consent of Purchaser which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, denied or delayed.

7.3       Liens.

  Other than utility easements and temporary construction easements granted by Seller in the ordinary course of business, Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien or encumbrance to attach to the Property between the Effective Date and the Closing Date (other than Leases and Property Contracts as provided in Section 7.1) unless Purchaser approves such lien or encumbrance in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If Purchaser approves any such subsequent lien or encumbrance, the same shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes hereunder. 

Article VIII
CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING

8.1       Purchaser's Conditions to Closing.

  Without limiting the rights of Purchaser elsewhere provided for in this Contract, Purchaser's obligation to close under this Contract, shall be subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment of the following conditions precedent:

8.1.1          All of the documents required to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall have been delivered;

8.1.5          There shall not be pending or, to the knowledge of either Purchaser or Seller, any litigation or threatened litigation which, if determined adversely, would restrain, in all material respects,  the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Contract or declare illegal, invalid or nonbinding any of the material covenants or material obligations of Seller.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there are no other conditions on Purchaser's obligation to Close except as expressly set forth in this Section 8.1.  If any condition set forth in Sections 8.1.1, 8.1.3 or 8.1.4 is not met, Purchaser may (a) waive any of the foregoing conditions and proceed to Closing on the Closing Date with no offset or deduction from the Purchase Price, or (b) if such failure constitutes a default by Seller, exercise any of its remedies pursuant to Section 10.2.  If the condition set forth in Section 8.1.2 or 8.1.5 is not met, Seller shall not be in default pursuant to Section 10.2, and Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, (i) notify Seller of Purchaser's election to terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Deposit from the Escrow Agent, or (ii) waive such condition and proceed to Closing on the Closing Date with no offset or deduction from the Purchase Price. 

8.2       Seller's Conditions to Closing.

8.2.5          There shall not be pending or, to the knowledge of either Purchaser or Seller, any litigation or threatened litigation which, if determined adversely, would restrain the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Contract or declare illegal, invalid or nonbinding any of the covenants or obligations of the Purchaser; and

If any of the foregoing conditions to Seller's obligation to close with respect to conveyance of the Property under this Contract are not met, Seller may (a) waive any of the foregoing conditions and proceed to Closing on the Closing Date, or (b) terminate this Contract, and, if such failure constitutes a default by Purchaser, exercise any of its remedies under Section 10.1. 

Article IX
BROKERAGE

9.1       Indemnity.

  Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has dealt only with CB Richard Ellis-Capital Markets, 2415 E.

Article X
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

10.1     Purchaser Default.

  If Purchaser defaults in its obligations hereunder to (a) deliver the Initial Deposit or Additional Deposit (or any other deposit or payment required of Purchaser hereunder), (b) deliver to the Seller the deliveries specified under Section 5.3 on the date required thereunder, or (c) deliver the Purchase Price at the time required by Section 2.2.3 and close on the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date, then, immediately and without the right to receive notice or to cure pursuant to Section 2.3.3, Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property.  If, Purchaser defaults in any of its other representations, warranties or obligations under this Contract, and such default continues for more than 10 days after written notice from Seller, then Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property.  The Deposit is liquidated damages and recourse to the Deposit is, except for Purchaser's indemnity and confidentiality obligations hereunder, Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser's failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Property or breach of a representation or warranty.  Seller expressly waives the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for such default by Purchaser.  SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER'S DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.  SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLER, AND SHALL BE SELLER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASER'S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

10.2     Seller Default.

  If Seller, prior to the Closing, defaults in its covenants, or obligations under this Contract, including to sell the Property as required by this Contract and such default continues for more than 10 days after written notice from Purchaser, then, at Purchaser's election and as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, either (a) this Contract shall terminate, and all payments and things of value, including the Deposit, provided by Purchaser hereunder shall be returned to Purchaser and Purchaser may recover, as its sole recoverable damages (but without limiting its right to receive a refund of the Deposit), its direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties) in connection with this transaction, which damages shall not exceed $35,000 in aggregate, provided, however, (i) if such default is solely as a result of Seller’s failure to obtain by the Closing Date the consent of the required number of members or limited partners, as the case may be, to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and (ii) Purchaser is not otherwise in default under this Contract and is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date, then the amount of direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs that Purchaser may recover as a result of such default shall not exceed $150,000 in the aggregate, or (b) subject to the conditions below, Purchaser may seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation to deliver the Deed pursuant to this Contract (but not damages).  Purchaser may seek specific performance of Seller's obligation to deliver the Deed pursuant to this Contract only if, as a condition precedent to initiating such litigation for specific performance, Purchaser first shall (i) deliver all Purchaser Closing documents to Escrow Agent in accordance with the requirements of this Contract, including, without limitation, Sections 2.2.3 and 5.3 (with the exception of Section 5.3.1); (ii) not otherwise be in default under this Contract; and (iii) file suit therefor with the court on or before the 90th day after the Closing Date; if Purchaser fails to file an action for specific performance within 90 days after the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the Contract in accordance with subsection (a) above.  Purchaser agrees that it shall promptly deliver to Seller an assignment of all of Purchaser's right, title and interest in and to (together with possession of) all plans, studies, surveys, reports, and other materials paid for with the out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed by Seller pursuant to the foregoing sentence.  SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.2 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE PURCHASER AND THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER, AND SHALL BE PURCHASER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY SELLER OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY PURCHASER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLER FOR ANY BREACH BY SELLER, OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT.  PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST THE PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS IRREVOCABLY ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS CONTRACT AND HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY.

Article XI
RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

11.1     Major Damage.

  In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, and the cost for demolition, site cleaning, restoration, replacement, or other repairs (collectively, the "Repairs") is more than $250,000, then Seller shall have no obligation to make such Repairs, and shall notify Purchaser in writing of such damage or destruction (the "Damage Notice").  Within 10 days after Purchaser's receipt of the Damage Notice, Purchaser may elect at its option to terminate this Contract by delivering written notice to Seller in which event the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser.  In the event Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract within the foregoing 10-day period, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with Section 11.3 below.

11.2     Minor Damage.

  In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing, and the cost of Repairs is equal to or less than $250,000, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with Section 11.3, notwithstanding such casualty.  In such event, Seller may at its election endeavor to make such Repairs to the extent of any recovery from insurance carried on the Property, if such Repairs can be reasonably effected before the Closing.  Regardless of Seller's election to commence such Repairs, or Seller's ability to complete such Repairs prior to Closing, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with Section 11.3 below.

11.3     Closing.

  In the event Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract following a casualty as set forth in Section 11.1, or in the event of a casualty as set forth in Section 11.2, then this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract, at Seller's election, either (i) for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding any such casualty, in which case Purchaser shall, at Closing, execute and deliver an assignment and assumption (in a form reasonably required by Seller) of Seller's rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim related to such casualty, and thereafter Purchaser shall receive all insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim, less any amounts which may already have been spent by Seller for Repairs (plus a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith); or (ii) for the full Purchase Price less a credit to Purchaser in the amount necessary to complete such Repairs (less any amounts which may already have been spent by Seller for Repairs).

11.4.    Repairs.

  To the extent that Seller elects to commence any Repairs prior to Closing, then Seller shall be entitled to receive and apply available insurance proceeds to any portion of such Repairs completed or installed prior to Closing, with Purchaser being responsible for completion of such Repairs after Closing.  To the extent that any Repairs have been commenced prior to Closing, then the Property Contracts shall include, and Purchaser shall assume at Closing, all construction and other contracts entered into by Seller in connection with such Repairs. 

Article XII
EMINENT DOMAIN

12.1     Eminent Domain.

  In the event that, at the time of Closing, any material part of the Property is (or previously has been) acquired, or is about to be acquired, by any governmental agency by the powers of eminent domain or transfer in lieu thereof (or in the event that at such time there is any notice of any such acquisition or intent to acquire by any such governmental agency), Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser's option, to terminate this Contract by giving written notice within 10 days after Purchaser's receipt from Seller of notice of the occurrence of such event, and if Purchaser so terminates this Contract, Purchaser shall recover the Deposit hereunder.  If Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract within such 10-day period, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract for the full Purchase Price and Purchaser shall receive the full benefit of any condemnation award.  It is expressly agreed between the parties hereto that this section shall in no way apply to customary dedications for public purposes which may be necessary for the development of the Property.

Article XIII
MISCELLANEOUS

13.1     Binding Effect of Contract.

  This Contract shall not be binding on either party until executed by both Purchaser and Seller.  Neither the Escrow Agent's nor the Broker's execution of this Contract shall be a prerequisite to its effectiveness.  Subject to Section 13.3, this Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser, and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns.

13.2     Exhibits and Schedules.

  All Exhibits and Schedules, whether or not annexed hereto, are a part of this Contract for all purposes.

13.3     Assignability.

13.7     Governing Law and Venue.

  The laws of the State of Colorado shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement, and interpretation of this Contract, unless otherwise specified herein except for the conflict of laws provisions thereof.  Subject to Section 13.24, all claims, disputes and other matters in question arising out of or relating to this Contract, or the breach thereof, shall be decided by proceedings instituted and litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction in the state in which the Property is situated, and the parties hereto expressly consent to the venue and jurisdiction of such court.

13.8     Entire Agreement.

  This Contract embodies the entire Contract between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior conversations, proposals, negotiations, understandings and contracts, whether written or oral.

13.9     Amendments.

  This Contract shall not be amended, altered, changed, modified, supplemented or rescinded in any manner except by a written contract executed by all of the parties; provided, however, that, (a) the signature of the Escrow Agent shall not be required as to any amendment of this Contract other than an amendment of Section 2.3, and (b) the signature of the Broker shall not be required as to any amendment of this Contract.

13.10   Severability.

  In the event that any part of this Contract shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.  If such provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Contract and the remaining portions of this Contract shall be valid and enforceable.

13.11   Multiple Counterparts/Facsimile Signatures.

  This Contract may be executed in a number of identical counterparts.  This Contract may be executed by facsimile signatures or electronic delivery of signatures which shall be binding on the parties hereto, with original signatures to be delivered as soon as reasonably practical thereafter.

13.12   Construction.

  No provision of this Contract shall be construed in favor of, or against, any particular party by reason of any presumption with respect to the drafting of this Contract; both parties, being represented by counsel, having fully participated in the negotiation of this instrument.

13.13   Confidentiality.

  Purchaser shall not disclose the terms and conditions contained in this Contract and shall keep the same confidential, provided that Purchaser may disclose the terms and conditions of this Contract (a) as required by law, (b) to consummate the terms of this Contract, or any financing relating thereto, or (c) to Purchaser's or Seller's lenders, attorneys and accountants.  Any information obtained by Purchaser in the course of its inspection of the Property, and any Materials provided by Seller to Purchaser hereunder, shall be confidential and Purchaser shall be prohibited from making such information public to any other person or entity other than its Consultants, without Seller's prior written authorization, which may be granted or denied in Seller's sole discretion.  In addition, Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to prevent its Consultants from divulging any such confidential information to any unrelated third parties except as reasonably necessary to third parties engaged by Purchaser for the limited purpose of analyzing and investigating such information for the purpose of consummating the transaction contemplated by this Contract.  Unless and until the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall not market the Property (or any portion thereof) to any prospective purchaser or lessee without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller's sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.8, Purchaser agrees that the covenants, restrictions and agreements of Purchaser contained in any confidentiality agreement executed by Purchaser prior to the Effective Date shall survive the execution of this Contract and shall not be superseded hereby.

13.14   Time of the Essence.

  It is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that time is of the essence with respect to this Contract.

13.15   Waiver.

  No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission, or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  No waiver, amendment, release, or modification of this Contract shall be established by conduct, custom, or course of dealing and all waivers must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.

13.16   Attorneys Fees.

  In the event either party hereto commences litigation or arbitration against the other to enforce its rights hereunder, the substantially prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incidental to such litigation and arbitration, including the cost of in-house counsel and any appeals.

13.17   Time Zone/Time Periods.

  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any reference in this Contract to a specific time shall refer to the time in the time zone where the Property is located (for example, a reference to 3:00 p.m. refers to 3:00 p.m. MST if the Property is located in Colorado Springs, CO).  Should the last day of a time period fall on a weekend or legal holiday, the next Business Day thereafter shall be considered the end of the time period.

13.18   1031 Exchange.

  Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the purchase and sale of the Property may be part of a tax-free exchange for either Purchaser or Seller pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder, revenue procedures, pronouncements and other guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service.  Each party hereby agrees to cooperate with each other and take all reasonable steps on or before the Closing Date to facilitate such exchange if requested by the other party, provided that (a) no party making such accommodation shall be required to acquire any substitute property, (b) such exchange shall not affect the representations, warranties, liabilities and obligations of the parties to each other under this Contract, (c) no party making such accommodation shall incur any additional cost, expense or liability in connection with such exchange (other than expenses of reviewing and executing documents required in connection with such exchange), and (d) no dates in this Contract will be extended as a result thereof, except as specifically provided herein. 

13.19   No Personal Liability of Officers, Trustees or Directors of Seller's Partners.

  Purchaser acknowledges that this Contract is entered into by Seller which is a Delaware limited liability company, and Purchaser agrees that none of Seller's Indemnified Parties shall have any personal liability under this Contract or any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Contract.

13.20   Intentionally Omitted.

13.21   ADA Disclosure.

  Purchaser acknowledges that the Property may be subject to the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and the federal Fair Housing Act (the "FHA").  The ADA requires, among other matters, that tenants and/or owners of "public accommodations" remove barriers in order to make the Property accessible to disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services for hearing, vision or speech impaired persons.  Seller makes no warranty, representation or guarantee of any type or kind with respect to the Property's compliance with the ADA or the FHA (or any similar state or local law), and Seller expressly disclaims any such representations.  Nothing contained in this Section 13.21 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise modify the Seller’s Representations set forth in Section 6.1.4 above.

13.22   No Recording.

  Purchaser shall not cause or allow this Contract or any contract or other document related hereto, nor any memorandum or other evidence hereof, to be recorded or become a public record without Seller's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld at Seller's sole discretion.  If the Purchaser records this Contract or any other memorandum or evidence thereof, Purchaser shall be in default of its obligations under this Contract.  Purchaser hereby appoints the Seller as Purchaser's attorney-in-fact to prepare and record any documents necessary to effect the nullification and release of the Contract or other memorandum or evidence thereof from the public records.  This appointment shall be coupled with an interest and irrevocable.

13.23   Relationship of Parties.

  Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the relationship established between the parties pursuant to this Contract is only that of a seller and a purchaser of property.  Neither Purchaser nor Seller is, nor shall either hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of the other party.

13.24   Dispute Resolution.

  Any controversy, dispute, or claim of any nature arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this Contract (and any closing document executed in connection herewith), including any claim based on contract, tort or statute, shall be resolved at the written request of any party to this Contract by binding arbitration.  The arbitration shall be administered in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Any matter to be settled by arbitration shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association in the state in which the Property is located.  The parties shall attempt to designate one arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association.  If they are unable to do so within 30 days after written demand therefor, then the American Arbitration Association shall designate an arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be final and binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrator shall award attorneys' fees (including those of in-house counsel) and costs to the substantially prevailing party and charge the cost of arbitration to the party which is not the substantially prevailing party.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 13.24 shall not prevent Purchaser or Seller from seeking and obtaining equitable relief on a temporary or permanent basis, including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or similar equitable relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction located in the state in which the Property is located (to which all parties hereto consent to venue and jurisdiction) by instituting a legal action or other court proceeding in order to protect or enforce the rights of such party under this Contract or to prevent irreparable harm and injury.  The court's jurisdiction over any such equitable matter, however, shall be expressly limited only to the temporary, preliminary, or permanent equitable relief sought; all other claims initiated under this Contract between the parties hereto shall be determined through final and binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 13.24.

13.25   AIMCO Marks.

  Purchaser agrees that Seller, the Property Manager or AIMCO, or their respective affiliates, are the sole owners of all right, title and interest in and to the AIMCO Marks (or have the right to use such AIMCO Marks pursuant to license agreements with third parties) and that no right, title or interest in or to the AIMCO Marks is granted, transferred, assigned or conveyed as a result of this Contract.  Purchaser further agrees that Purchaser will not use the AIMCO Marks for any purpose.

13.26   Non-Solicitation of Employees.

  Prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, without the express written consent of Seller, neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser's employees, affiliates or agents shall solicit any of Seller's employees or any employees located at the Property (or any of Seller's affiliates' employees located at any property owned by such affiliates) for potential employment.

13.27   Survival.

  Except for (a) all of the provisions of this Article XIII (other than Sections 13.18); (b) Sections 2.3, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 4.8, 5.4, 5.5, 6.2, 6.5, 9.1, 11.4, 14.1 and 14.2; (c) any other provisions in this Contract, that by their express terms survive the termination or Closing; and (d) any payment obligation of Purchaser under this Contract (the foregoing (a), (b), (c) and (d) referred to herein as the "Survival Provisions"), none of the terms and provisions of this Contract shall survive the termination of this Contract, and if the Contract is not so terminated, all of the terms and provisions of this Contract (other than the Survival Provisions, which shall survive the Closing) shall be merged into the Closing documents and shall not survive Closing.

13.28   Multiple Purchasers.

  As used in this Contract, the term "Purchaser" means all entities acquiring any interest in the Property at the Closing, including, without limitation, any assignee(s) of the original Purchaser pursuant to Section 13.3 of this Contract.  In the event that "Purchaser" has any obligations or makes any covenants, representations or warranties under this Contract, the same shall be made jointly and severally by all entities being a Purchaser hereunder. 

Article XIV
LEAD–BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE

14.1     Disclosure.

  Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge delivery of the Lead Based Paint Disclosure attached as Exhibit H hereto. 

14.2     Consent Agreement. 

Testing (the "Testing") has been performed at the Property with respect to lead-based paint.  Law Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. performed the Testing and reported its findings in a report with a certification date of May 14, 2001, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Report").  The Report certifies the Property as lead-based paint free.  By execution hereof, Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Report, the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Statement attached hereto as Exhibit H, and acknowledges receipt of that certain Consent Agreement (the "Consent Agreement") by and among the United States Environmental Protection Agency (executed December 19, 2001), the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (executed January 2, 2002), and AIMCO (executed December 18, 2001).  Because the Property has been certified as lead based paint free, Seller is not required under the Consent Agreement to remediate or abate any lead-based paint condition at the Property prior to the Closing.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (1) after Closing, the Purchaser and the Property shall be subject to the Consent Agreement and the provisions contained herein related thereto and (2) that Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a third party beneficiary to the Consent Agreement.
