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"), the Partnership’s general partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.  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, 2009.  The General Partner is ultimately owned by Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.

 

The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2011 unless terminated prior to that date. The Partnership Agreement also provides that the term of the Partnership cannot be extended beyond the termination date.

 

The Partnership’s management evaluated subsequent events through the time this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed.

 

The accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 has been restated to reflect the operations of The Dunes Apartments and The Knolls Apartments as discontinued operations as a result of the sales of the respective properties during August 2009 and September 2009, respectively.

 

The following table presents summarized results of operations related to the Partnership’s discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

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 entitled the holders thereof to the same rights as the holders of Units of limited partnership interests had prior to the Establishment Date.

 

Holders of the Series A Units are entitled to receive distributions of all income and allocation of all profits and losses relating to 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).

 

Holders of the Series B Units are entitled to receive distributions of all income and allocation of all profits and losses relating to  the Partnership’s membership interest in CCIP Knolls, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Series B Subsidiary”).  The Series B Subsidiary held a 100% ownership interest in The Knolls Apartments. The Knolls Apartments was sold on September 21, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the Partnership completed winding up the affairs of this series and accordingly terminated the Series B Subsidiary in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

 

Holders of the Series C Units are entitled to receive distributions of all income and allocation of all profits and losses relating to the Partnership’s membership interest in CCIP Society Park East, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Series C Subsidiary”).  The Series C Subsidiary held a 100% ownership interest in The Dunes Apartments. The Dunes Apartments was sold on August 17, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the Partnership completed winding up the affairs of this series and accordingly terminated the Series C Subsidiary in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

 

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2009 balances to conform to the 2010 presentation.

 

Segment Reporting: FASB ASC Topic 280-10, “Segment Reporting”, 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.  FASB ASC Topic 280-10 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 $235,000 and $304,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which are included in operating expenses and loss from discontinued operations.

 

Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $92,000 and $369,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses, loss from discontinued operations and investment properties. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $40,000 and $194,000, respectively. At March 31, 2010, approximately $52,000 of these reimbursements are outstanding and included in due to affiliates. There were no such reimbursements outstanding at December 31, 2009.

 

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $776,000 to fund real estate taxes at The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center and operations at all of the Partnership’s investment properties.During the three months ended March 31, 2009, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $1,721,000 to fund operations at The Sterling Apartment Homes, The Knolls Apartments and Plantation Gardens Apartments and capital expenditures at The Dunes Apartments. Interest was charged at either the prime rate or the prime rate plus 2% (prime rate was 3.25% at March 31, 2010) and interest expense was approximately $4,000 and $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership made payments on the outstanding loans and accrued interest of approximately $685,000 from operations. There were no such payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amount of the outstanding advances and accrued interest was approximately $909,000 and $129,000, respectively, and is included in due to affiliates. Subsequent to March 31, 2010, the Partnership received additional advances of approximately $1,702,000 to fund operations at all of the Partnership’s investment properties. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

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 three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $372,000 for hazard insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2010 as other insurance policies renew later in the year. The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $429,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2009.

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 months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership received approximately $454,000 of distributions from sale proceeds of one of its affiliated partnerships, Consolidated Capital Growth Fund, which was recognized as income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as its investment balance had been reduced to zero. As of December 31, 2009, Consolidated Capital Growth Fund was liquidated. There were no distributions received during the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership recognized approximately $3,000 and $18,000, respectively, in equity in loss from investment related to its allocated share of the loss from one and two of the affiliated partnerships, respectively.

 

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 two apartment complexes 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 nine years. Included in the Partnership’s residential properties segment as discontinued operations for 2009 are two apartment complexes.

 

Measurement of segment profit and loss:  The Partnership evaluates performance based on segment profit and 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, 2009.

 

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 months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 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 Event

 

In December 2008, The Knolls Apartments sustained damages of approximately $70,000 from a water main break in the parking area, including approximately $41,000 of clean up costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $11,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $33,000 net of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $22,000. The casualty gain and clean up costs are included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Knolls Apartments was sold to a third party on September 21, 2009.

 

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 $481,000.  The deferred tax asset consists primarily of temporary differences related to land, buildings and accumulated depreciation. The Partnership 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. An additional benefit of approximately $11,000 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2009. No deferred tax benefit was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Partnership recognized current income tax expense related to local income taxes with respect to The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center of approximately $7,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to approximately $4,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

Note G - Sale of Investment Properties

 

On September 21, 2009, the Partnership sold The Knolls Apartments, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to a third party for a sales price of $13,350,000. After payment of closing costs, the Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $13,155,000. The Partnership used a portion of the proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property and a prepayment penalty of approximately $7,279,000 and $15,000, respectively. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $133,000 during the second half of 2009. In addition, the Partnership recorded a gain on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $20,000 during the third quarter of 2009, due to the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium of approximately $35,000, partially offset by the prepayment penalty of approximately $15,000. Included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is an impairment loss of approximately $500,000, which was recorded to write the carrying amount of the property down to the expected sale price in accordance with the Partnership’s impairment policy. An additional impairment loss of approximately $400,000 was recorded during the second quarter of 2009.

 

On August 17, 2009, the Partnership sold The Dunes Apartments, located in Indian Harbor, Florida, to a third party for a sales price of $6,300,000. After payment of closing costs, the Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $6,142,000. The Partnership used a portion of the proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property and a prepayment penalty of approximately $3,032,000 and $10,000, respectively. The sale resulted in a loss of approximately $186,000 during the second half of 2009. In addition, the Partnership recorded a gain on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $6,000 during the third quarter of 2009 due to the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium of approximately $16,000, partially offset by the prepayment penalty of approximately $10,000. Included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is an impairment loss of approximately $900,000 which was recorded to write the carrying amount of the property down to the expected sale price in accordance with the Partnership’s impairment policy. An additional impairment loss of approximately $300,000 was recorded during the second quarter of 2009.

Note H – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amounts of its financial instruments (except for long-term debt) approximate their fair values due to the short term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates fair value by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be available to the Partnership for similar term, long-term debt. At March 31, 2010, the fair value of the Partnership's long-term debt at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate approximated its carrying value.

 

Note I - Investment Property

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership wrote off redevelopment costs of approximately $232,000. The write off represents capitalized costs incurred in a prior year related to a potential redevelopment project at Plantation Gardens Apartments, which was no longer being considered as of March 31, 2009.

 

Note J – Contingencies

 

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 (“the Defendants”) 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 of 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 have been dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid 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 parties have selected six “on-call” claims that will proceed forward through the arbitration process and have selected arbitrators. After those arbitrations have been completed, the parties will revisit settling the on-call claims. The first two arbitrations took place in December 2009 and the Defendants received a defense verdict against the first two claimants, and plaintiffs dismissed the claims of the next two claimants. The remaining two arbitration hearings took place in April 2010 and the Defendants are awaiting the results.  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, including lead-based paint.  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. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 the Partnership incurred approximately $85,000 related to mold removal in nine apartment units at Plantation Gardens Apartments in connection with repairing the units prior to renting them. The Partnership is currently in the initial stages of inspecting all the apartment units at the property to determine the extent of additional work required and the potential cost of such work. At this time the Partnership cannot estimate the amount of these future costs.  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 Quarterly Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking within the meaning of the federal securities laws, 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 these forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control including, without limitation: financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing and the risk that the Partnership’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; natural disasters and severe weather 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; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for residents in such markets; insurance risk, including the cost of insurance; 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, as well as the other documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Partnership's investment properties consist of three properties.  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 three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

(1)      The General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at The Sterling Commerce Center to certain tenants relocating their businesses to new locations.

 

(2)      The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Regency Oaks Apartments to increased rental concessions.

 

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 $901,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to net loss of approximately $2,174,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The consolidated statement of operations included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for the three months ended March 31,2009 has been restated to reflect the operations of The Dunes Apartments and The Knolls Apartments as discontinued operations as a result of the sales of the respective properties during August 2009 and September 2009, respectively.

On September 21, 2009, the Partnership sold The Knolls Apartments, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to a third party for a sales price of $13,350,000. After payment of closing costs, the Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $13,155,000. The Partnership used a portion of the proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property and a prepayment penalty of approximately $7,279,000 and $15,000, respectively. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $133,000 during the second half of 2009. In addition, the Partnership recorded a gain on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $20,000 during the third quarter of 2009, due to the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium of approximately $35,000, partially offset by the prepayment penalty of approximately $15,000. Included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is an impairment loss of approximately $500,000, which was recorded to write the carrying amount of the property down to the expected sale price in accordance with the Partnership’s impairment policy. An additional impairment loss of approximately $400,000 was recorded during the second quarter of 2009.

 

On August 17, 2009, the Partnership sold The Dunes Apartments, located in Indian Harbor, Florida, to a third party for a sales price of $6,300,000. After payment of closing costs, the Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $6,142,000. The Partnership used a portion of the proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property and a prepayment penalty of approximately $3,032,000 and $10,000, respectively. The sale resulted in a loss of approximately $186,000 during the second half of 2009. In addition, the Partnership recorded a gain on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $6,000 during the third quarter of 2009 due to the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium of approximately $16,000, partially offset by the prepayment penalty of approximately $10,000. Included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is an impairment loss of approximately $900,000 which was recorded to write the carrying amount of the property down to the expected sale price in accordance with the Partnership’s impairment policy. An additional impairment loss of approximately $300,000 was recorded during the second quarter of 2009.

 

In December 2008, The Knolls Apartments sustained damages of approximately $70,000 from a water main break in the parking area, including approximately $41,000 of clean up costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $11,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $33,000 net of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $22,000. The casualty gain and clean up costs are included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

The Partnership recognized losses before discontinued operations of approximately $901,000 and $296,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in loss before discontinued operations is due to decreases in total revenues, distributions received in excess of investment, and deferred income tax benefit and increases in total expenses and current income tax expense, partially offset by a decrease in equity in loss from investment.

 

The decrease in total revenues is due to a decrease in rental income, partially offset by an increase in other income. Rental income decreased due to decreases in average rental rates at the three residential properties and decreases in occupancy at the Sterling Commerce Center and Plantation Gardens Apartments, partially offset by increases in occupancy at the Sterling Apartment Homes and Regency Oaks Apartments. The increase in other income is due to an increase in tenant utility reimbursements primarilyat The Sterling Apartment Homes and Regency Oaks Apartmentsas tenants are now reimbursing the properties for water and heating costs.

 

The increase in total expenses is due to increases in depreciation and interest expenses, partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative and property tax expenses. Operating expenses remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. The increase in depreciation expense is due to property improvements and replacements placed into service during the past twelve months at the Partnership’s investment properties. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to additional loan cost amortization at The Sterling Apartment Homes, Regency Oaks Apartments and Plantation Gardens Apartments. Property tax expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in the assessed value of Regency Oaks Apartments. Operating expenses remained relatively constant as increases in salaries and related benefits at The Sterling Apartment Homes, utilities at The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center and repair costs associated with water damage from multiple broken pipes and storm damages at Plantation Gardens Apartments were substantially offset by the write off of capitalized costs incurred in a prior year related to a potential redevelopment project at Plantation Gardens Apartments which was no longer being considered as of March 31, 2009.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased primarilydue to a decrease in reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement and costs associated with the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies.

 

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 $481,000.  The deferred tax asset consists primarily of temporary differences related to land, buildings and accumulated depreciation. The Partnership 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. An additional benefit of approximately $11,000 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2009. No deferred tax benefit was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Partnership recognized current income tax expense related to local income taxes with respect to The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center of approximately $7,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to approximately $4,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership recognized approximately $3,000 and $18,000, respectively, in equity in loss from investment related to its allocated share of the loss from one and two of the affiliated partnerships, respectively. 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 months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership received approximately $454,000 of distributions from sale 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. As of December 31, 2009, Consolidated Capital Growth Fund was liquidated. There were no distributions received during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

At March 31, 2010, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $289,000 compared to approximately $302,000 at December 31, 2009.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $13,000 from December 31, 2009 due to approximately $744,000 of cash used in investing activities, partially offset by approximately $354,000 and $377,000 of cash provided by operating and financing activities, respectively. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances received from an affiliate, partially offset by principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership's investment properties.

 

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $776,000 to fund real estate taxes at The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center and operations at all of the Partnership’s investment properties.During the three months ended March 31, 2009, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $1,721,000 to fund operations at The Sterling Apartment Homes, The Knolls Apartments and Plantation Gardens Apartments and capital expenditures at The Dunes Apartments. Interest was charged at either the prime rate or the prime rate plus 2% (prime rate was 3.25% at March 31, 2010) and interest expense was approximately $4,000 and $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership made payments on the outstanding loans and accrued interest of approximately $685,000 from operations. There were no such payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amount of the outstanding advances and accrued interest was approximately $909,000 and $129,000, respectively, and is included in due to affiliates. Subsequent to March 31, 2010, the Partnership received additional advances of approximately $1,702,000 to fund operations at all of the Partnership’s investment properties. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

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 Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $402,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of heating upgrades, kitchen and bath upgrades, fire safety upgrades and appliance and floor covering replacements.  These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate, AIMCO Properties, L.P. 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 2010. 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 three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $177,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of air conditioning unit replacements, kitchen and bath upgrades, appliance and floor covering replacements and reconstruction related to water damages to the property caused by multiple pipe breaks and storm damages.  These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate, AIMCO Properties, L.P. 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 2010. 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 three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $121,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of office equipment, kitchen and bath upgrades, and appliance and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate, AIMCO Properties, L.P. 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 2010. 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, advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not have an obligation to fund such advances, 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 anticipates that exclusive of capital improvements and repayment of amounts accrued and payable to affiliates, operating cash flows in 2010 will be generally sufficient for the Partnership to meet its current obligations in 2010 including 2010 debt service. If cash flows are insufficient for the Partnership to meet its obligations in 2010, the Partnership may request additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  The mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Partnership’s properties of approximately $112,790,000 requires monthly payments of principal and interest and balloon payments of approximately $97,297,000 during 2017.  The General Partner may attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to termination of the Partnership.

 

The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (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, refinancings and/or property sales. 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 and repayment of amounts owed to affiliates, to permit distributions to its partners in 2010 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 76.70% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2010.  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 76.70% 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 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 estimated 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; changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing; and changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. Any adverse changes in these and other factors could cause an impairment of the Partnership’s assets.

 

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 FASB ASC Topic 840, “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 Partnership or the lease, whichever is less.  For all other leases, minimum rents are recognized over the terms of the Partnership or the lease, whichever is less.

 

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 has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

 


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

 

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 (“the Defendants”) 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 of 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 have been dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid 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 parties have selected six “on-call” claims that will proceed forward through the arbitration process and have selected arbitrators. After those arbitrations have been completed, the parties will revisit settling the on-call claims. The first two arbitrations took place in December 2009 and the Defendants received a defense verdict against the first two claimants, and plaintiffs dismissed the claims of the next two claimants. The remaining two arbitration hearings took place in April 2010 and the Defendants are awaiting the results.  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.
