NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note A – Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Consolidated Capital Properties IV, 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. ("CEI" or the "General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months 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-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.

 

Organization: On April 25, 2008, the Partnership changed its domicile from California to Delaware by merging with and into Consolidated Capital Properties IV, 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 18, 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 interest 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 Properties IV, 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.

 

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, 2007 have been restated to reflect the operations of Foothill Place Apartments, Citadel Village Apartments, Village East Apartments and Rivers Edge Apartments as discontinued operations as a result of the sale of the respective properties during 2008. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 have also been restated to reflect the operations of Belmont Place Apartments as discontinued operations as a result of the property being classified as held for sale at September 30, 2008. The Partnership entered into a sale contract on September 29, 2008 to sell Belmont Place Apartments to a third party, with an expected closing date of January 9, 2009. The operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 of these properties are included in loss from discontinued operations. Foothill Place Apartments was sold on June 6, 2008.  Citadel Village Apartments and Village East Apartments were both sold on June 20, 2008. Rivers Edge Apartments was sold on September 30, 2008.

The respective assets and liabilities of Rivers Edge Apartments, Belmont Place Apartments, Foothill Place Apartments, Citadel Village Apartments and Village East Apartments were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2007 and the accompanying consolidated balance sheet has been restated for this classification as of this date. The respective assets and liabilities of Belmont Place Apartments are also classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2008.

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

 

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 for reimbursements of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

 

Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from all the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $655,000 and $788,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively, which is included in operating expenses and (loss) income from discontinued operations.

 

Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $567,000 and $913,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses, investment properties, assets held for sale and gain on sale of discontinued operations. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties, assets held for sale and gain on sale of discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $251,000 and $478,000, respectively. Additionally, in connection with the redevelopment project (as discussed in Note C), an affiliate of the General Partner is to receive a redevelopment supervision fee of 4% of the actual redevelopment costs incurred.  The Partnership was charged approximately $190,000 and $310,000 in redevelopment supervision fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in investment properties.

 

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $2,477,000 and $1,685,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to assist with the payment of real estate taxes and operations for several investment properties and redevelopment draws for 865 Bellevue.  During the period ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P., approximately $2,345,000 which included approximately $41,000 of interest.  During the period ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P., approximately $3,347,000 which included approximately $90,000 of interest.  Interest on advances was charged at prime plus 2% which was 7.00% at September 30, 2008.  At September 30, 2008, there was approximately $173,000 of advances outstanding. There were no advances outstanding at December 31, 2007.  Interest expense was approximately $41,000 and $75,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  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 sheets, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, outstanding advances of $174,000, including accrued interest of $1,000, were repaid with proceeds from the sale of Rivers Edge Apartments.

 

The Partnership Agreement provides for a special management fee equal to 9% of the total distributions made to the limited partners from cash flow provided by operations to be paid to the General Partner for executive and administrative management services.  There were no such special management fees paid or earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 as there were no operating distributions during this time.

 

For acting as real estate broker in connection with the sale of South Port Apartments in 2003, the General Partner was paid a real estate commission of approximately $295,000.  When the Partnership terminates, the General Partner will have to return this commission if the limited partners do not receive their original invested capital plus a 6% per annum cumulative return.

 

As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Partnership has distributed various amounts from the proceeds of property sales and refinancings.  At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, approximately $2,906,000 and $1,896,000, respectively, of these distributions from proceeds are payable to the General Partner and special limited partners as these distributions are subordinated and deferred per the Partnership Agreement until the limited partners receive 100% of their original capital contributions from surplus cash.

 

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 $350,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.  Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2008 as other insurance policies renew later in the year.  The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $693,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 
Note C – Redevelopment of Property

 

During August 2006 the Partnership commenced with a phased redevelopment project for 865 Bellevue Apartments. The initial phase of the redevelopment project was initially estimated to cost approximately $7,500,000 and to be completed by the middle of 2007.  The scope of the initial phase of the redevelopment project consists of modifications to the electrical wiring, replacement of HVAC and water heaters, new siding, roof replacements, windows and doors, clubhouse renovations and major landscaping.

Note D – Mortgage Financing

 

On August 31, 2007, the Partnership obtained an additional mortgage loan in the principal amount of $2,100,000 on its investment property Post Ridge Apartments, located in Nashville, Tennessee.  The additional mortgage bears interest at 5.93% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $12,500 beginning October 1, 2007, through the January 1, 2020 maturity date.  The additional mortgage has a balloon payment of approximately $1,644,000 due at maturity.  If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to January 1, 2021, during which period the additional mortgage would bear interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and would require monthly payments of principal and interest.  The Partnership may prepay the additional mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.  As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing.  In connection with obtaining the additional loan, the Partnership incurred loan costs of approximately $56,000, $44,000 of which were capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

In connection with the new additional mortgage loan, the Partnership also agreed to certain modifications on the existing first and second mortgage loans encumbering Post Ridge Apartments.  The modification includes consolidating the existing loans, an interest rate of 6.665% per annum, monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $26,400, commencing October 1, 2007 through the maturity date of January 1, 2022, at which time a balloon payment of approximately $3,086,000 is due.  The previous terms for the first mortgage were an interest rate of 6.63% per annum through the maturity date of January 1, 2022 and monthly payments of approximately $34,000 through the maturity date, at which date the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized.  The previous terms for the second mortgage were an interest rate of 7.04% per annum through the maturity date of January 1, 2022 and monthly payments of approximately $3,000 through the maturity date, at which date a balloon payment of approximately $173,000 was due.  The Partnership may prepay the modified mortgage loan at any time subject to a prepayment penalty.  As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the modified loan. 

 

On September 21, 2007, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering one of its investment properties, Citadel Village Apartments, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance of approximately $1,766,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of approximately $3,710,000. The new loan was refinanced under a secured real estate credit facility (“Secured Credit Facility”) with AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc., as agent for Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, which had a maturity of October 1, 2010, with two one-year extension options. The new mortgage required monthly payments of interest only beginning on November 1, 2007, through the October 1, 2010 maturity date, at which date the entire principal balance of approximately $3,710,000 was due.  The new loan had a variable interest rate of the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.78%, which rate reset monthly.  The variable interest rate was to increase to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.98% if the debt service coverage ratio of the investment property decreases below a prescribed threshold. The Secured Credit Facility provides mortgage loans on properties owned by other partnerships that are affiliated with the general partner of the Partnership. The Secured Credit Facility creates separate loans for each property that are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with the other property loans. The loans were prepayable without penalty.  As a condition of the Secured Credit Facility, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing.  In connection with refinancing the existing mortgage, the Partnership incurred loan costs of approximately $49,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the mortgage encumbering Citadel Village Apartments was repaid with proceeds from the June 20, 2008 sale.

Note H – 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 $37,000 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, as well as the risk factors described in the documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Partnership's investment properties consist of three apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

(1)   The decrease in occupancy at 865 Bellevue Apartments is due to the ongoing redevelopment at the property. The project is expected to be completed in 2009.

 

The Partnership has one additional property, Belmont Place, which is classified as held for sale at September 30, 2008. The average occupancy of this property for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was 93% and 95% respectively.

 

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’s net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $7,014,000 and $48,597,000, respectively, compared to a net loss of approximately $223,000 and net income of approximately $26,754,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

 

The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to increases in the recognition of gain on sale of discontinued operations, the recognition of casualty gains and an increase in total revenues, partially offset by an increase in loss from discontinued operations and an increase in total expenses.   The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to an increase in the recognition of gain on sale of discontinued operations, a decrease in loss from discontinued operations and an increase in total revenues, partially offset by a decrease in the recognition of casualty gains and an increase in total expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2008, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6,582,000 compared to approximately $9,105,000 at September 30, 2007. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5,236,000 from December 31, 2007, is due to approximately $55,879,000 and $2,153,000 of cash provided by investing and operating activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $52,796,000 of cash used in financing activities. Cash provided by investing activities consisted of proceeds from the sales of Foothill Place Apartments, Citadel Village Apartments, Village East Apartments and Rivers Edge Apartments, the receipt of a good faith deposit for the potential sale of Belmont Place Apartments, and insurance proceeds received, partially offset by property improvements and replacements and net deposits to restricted escrows. Cash used in financing activities consisted of distributions to partners, repayments of advances from an affiliate of the General Partner, the repayment of the debt encumbering Foothill Place Apartments, Citadel Village Apartments, Rivers Edge Apartments and Village East Apartments, payment of prepayment penalties and monthly payments on mortgage loans, partially offset by the receipt of advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. 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.

865 Bellevue Apartments

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $5,148,000 of capital improvements at 865 Bellevue Apartments, consisting primarily of redevelopment costs. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow, Partnership reserves and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. During August 2006 the Partnership commenced with a phased redevelopment project for 865 Bellevue Apartments. The initial phase of the redevelopment project was initially estimated to cost approximately $7,500,000 and to be completed by the middle of 2007. The scope of the initial phase of the redevelopment project consists of modifications to the electrical wiring, replacement of HVAC and water heaters, new siding, roof replacements, windows and doors, clubhouse renovations and major landscaping. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership commenced with the second phase of the redevelopment project.  The scope of the second phase of the redevelopment project consists of the addition of 34 garages, a gated entry, renovations to the clubhouse, pool, leasing and business center, tennis courts, new playground equipment and renovations to apartment kitchens, baths and living spaces.  The revised estimated cost to complete both phases of the redevelopment project is approximately $18,900,000 and the redevelopment is expected to be completed by the end of March 2009.  During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, approximately $3,245,000 and $8,028,000, respectively, of redevelopment costs had been incurred.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 additional costs of approximately $5,148,000 have been incurred.

During the construction period, certain expenses are being capitalized and will be depreciated over the remaining life of the property. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, approximately $164,000 of construction period interest, $4,000 of construction period operating costs and $17,000 of construction period taxes were capitalized related to the redevelopment.

Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership cash reserves or advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  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 and the redevelopment project) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Partnership’s investment properties of approximately $46,412,000, including $18,657,000 in mortgage indebtedness classified as held for sale, matures at various dates between 2008 and 2022 with balloon payments of approximately $11,100,000, $8,964,000, $1,644,000 and $3,086,000 due in 2008, 2015, 2020 and 2022, respectively.  The General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to such maturity dates. The Partnership is exploring financing options with respect to the mortgage on 865 Bellevue which matures in December 2008. If a property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure.

In conjunction with the transfer of funds from their certain majority owned sub-tier limited partnerships to the Partnership, approximately $296,000 and zero was distributed to the general partner of the majority owned sub-tier limited partnerships during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Partnership declared a distribution of approximately $4,687,000 (approximately $4,500,000 to the limited partners or $13.13 per limited partnership unit) from proceeds from the September 30, 2008 sale of Rivers Edge Apartments.

 

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations and 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 and redevelopment costs, to permit additional distributions to its partners in 2008 or subsequent periods.

 

Other

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 237,778.5 limited partnership units (the “Units”) in the Partnership representing 69.37% 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 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 69.37% of the outstanding units, AIMCO is 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.  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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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.


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 been no significant 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 $37,000 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.
