PART I

 

Item 1.     Business

 

Consolidated Capital Properties IV (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was organized on September 22, 1981 as a limited partnership under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  On December 18, 1981, the Partnership commenced a public offering for the sale of 200,000 units (the "Units") with the general partner's right to increase the offering to 400,000 units.  The Units represent equity interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders thereof to participate in certain allocations and distributions of the Partnership. The sale of Units closed on December 14, 1983, with 343,106 Units sold at $500 each, or gross proceeds of $171,553,000 to the Partnership.  Since its initial offering, the Partnership has not received, nor are limited partners required to make, additional capital contributions.

 

By the end of fiscal year 1985, approximately 73% of the proceeds raised had been invested in 48 properties. Of the remaining 27%, 11% was required for organizational and offering expenses, sales commissions and acquisition fees, and 16% was retained in Partnership reserves for project improvements and working capital as required by the Partnership Agreement.

 

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.

 

The general partner of the Partnership is ConCap Equities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "General Partner" or "CEI").  The General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The directors and officers of the General Partner also serve as executive officers of AIMCO.  The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2011 unless terminated prior to that date.

 

The Partnership's primary business and only industry segment is real estate related operations.  The Partnership is engaged in the business of operating and holding real estate properties for investment.  As of the close of fiscal year 1985, the Partnership had completed its property acquisition stage and had acquired 48 properties. At December 31, 2008, the Partnership owned 3 income-producing properties (or interests therein), which are located in Tennessee.  Prior to 2007, the Partnership had disposed of 37 properties originally owned by the Partnership and during 2007 and 2008 sold 3 and 5 of its investment properties, respectively.  See "Item 2. Properties" for further information about the Partnership's remaining properties and the 2007 and 2008 sales.

 

The Partnership has no employees. Property management and administrative services are provided by the General Partner and by agents of the General Partner.  The General Partner has also selected an affiliate to provide real estate advisory and asset management services to the Partnership.  As advisor, such affiliate provides all Partnership accounting and administrative services, investment management, and supervisory services over property management and leasing.

 

1A. Risk Factors

 

The risk factors noted in this section and other factors noted throughout this Annual Report describe certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the Partnership’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

 

The Partnership’s existing and future debt financing could render it unable to operate, result in foreclosure on its property, prevent it from making distributions on its equity or otherwise adversely affect its liquidity.

 

The Partnership is subject to the risk that its cash flow from operations will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If the Partnership fails to make required payments of principal and interest on secured debt, its lender could foreclose on the property securing such debt, which would result in loss of income and asset value to the Partnership.  Payments of principal and interest may leave the Partnership with insufficient cash resources to operate its properties or pay distributions.

 

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect the Partnership’s ability to obtain financing and the cost of available financing and could adversely affect the Partnership’s liquidity.

 

The Partnership’s ability to obtain financing and the cost of such financing depends on the overall condition of the United States credit markets and the level of involvement of certain government sponsored entities, specifically, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, and Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, in secondary credit markets.  Recently the United States credit markets have experienced significant liquidity disruptions, which have caused the spreads on debt financings to widen considerably and have made obtaining financing more difficult.  Further or prolonged disruptions in the credit markets could result in Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae reducing their level of involvement in secondary credit markets which would adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to obtain non-recourse property debt financing.

 

Failure to generate sufficient net operating income may limit the Partnership’s ability to fund necessary capital expenditures or the Partnership’s ability to pay distributions.

 

The Partnership’s ability to fund necessary capital expenditures on its properties depends on its ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments.  If the Partnership is unable to fund capital expenditures on its properties, the Partnership may not be able to preserve the competitiveness of its properties, which could adversely affect the Partnership’s net operating income. 

 

The Partnership’s ability to make distributions to its partners on its ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments and capital expenditure requirements. Net operating income and liquidity may be adversely affected by events or conditions beyond the Partnership’s control, including:

     

  • the 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 multifamily housing; and
  • changes in interest rates and the availability of financing.

 

Competition could limit the Partnership’s ability to lease apartments or increase or maintain rents.

 

The Partnership’s apartment properties compete for residents with other housing alternatives, including other rental apartments, condominiums and single-family homes that are available for rent, as well as new and existing condominiums and single-family homes for sale. Competitive residential housing in a particular area could adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to lease apartments and to increase or maintain rental rates.  The current challenges in the credit and housing markets have increased housing inventory that competes with the Partnership’s properties.

 

Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in the Partnership’s incurrence of unanticipated expenses.

 

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Likewise, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990, to be accessible to the handicapped. These and other Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to the Partnership’s property, or affect  renovations of the property. Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although the Partnership believes that its properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, the Partnership may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and the FHAA in connection with the ongoing operation of its properties.

 

Potential liability or other expenditures associated with potential environmental contamination may be costly.

 

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.

 

Moisture infiltration and resulting mold remediation may be costly.

 

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.

 

A further description of the Partnership's business is included in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in this Form 10-K.

 

Transfers of Control

 

Upon the Partnership's formation in 1981, Consolidated Capital Equities Corporation ("CCEC"), a Colorado corporation, was the corporate general partner and Consolidated Capital Management Company ("CCMC"), a California general partnership, was the non-corporate general partner.  In 1988, through a series of transactions, Southmark Corporation ("Southmark") acquired a controlling interest in CCEC.  In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  In 1990, as part of its reorganization plan, CEI acquired CCEC's general partner interests in the Partnership and in 15 other affiliated public limited partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships") and CEI replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16 partnerships.  The selection of CEI as the sole managing general partner was approved by a majority of the Limited Partners in the Partnership and in each of the affiliated partnerships pursuant to a solicitation of the Limited Partners dated August 10, 1990.  As part of this solicitation, the Limited Partners also approved an amendment to the Partnership Agreement to limit changes of control of the Partnership, and the conversion of CCMC from a general partner to a special limited partner, thereby leaving CEI as the sole general partner of the Partnership. On November 14, 1990, CCMC was dissolved and its special limited partnership interest was divided among its former partners.  All of CEI's outstanding stock is owned by AIMCO.

 

Item 2.     Properties

 

The Partnership originally acquired 48 properties of which twenty-five (25) were sold, ten (10) were conveyed to lenders in lieu of foreclosure, and ten (10) were foreclosed upon by the lenders. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership owned three (3) apartment complexes.  Additional information about the properties is found in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data".

(b)   See “Note C – Mortgage Notes Payable” to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for information with respect to the Partnership’s ability to prepay these loans and other specific details about the loans.

 

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 non-recourse 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 which were capitalized and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

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 non-recourse 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 $3,709,000. 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 has 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 at December 31, 2007 was 6.01% per annum, and resets 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 decreased 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 are 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 non-recourse 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 $64,000. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the mortgage encumbering Citadel Village Apartments was repaid with proceeds from the June 20, 2008 sale.

 

On November 30, 2007, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage debt encumbering one of its investment properties, Village East Apartments, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage debt, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance of $2,000,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $3,100,000. 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.  The Secured Credit Facility had a maturity of October 1, 2010, with two one-year extension options. The new mortgage required monthly payments of interest only beginning on January 1, 2008, through the October 1, 2010 maturity date, at which date the entire principal balance of $3,100,000 was due.  The new loan had a variable interest rate of the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.78%, which rate at December 31, 2007 was 6.01% per annum, and resets 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 decreased 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 and Registrant. 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 and Registrant, to guarantee certain non-recourse 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 $65,000. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the mortgage encumbering Village East Apartments was repaid with proceeds from the June 20, 2008 sale.

 

On January 12, 2009, the Partnership received a loan of approximately $11,125,000 from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner (the “Affiliate Loan”).  These loan proceeds were then used to pay in full the existing mortgage loan encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments, which at the time of the payoff had a principal balance of approximately $11,078,000 and matured on January 12, 2009.  The Affiliate Loan was unsecured and bore interest at 6.0%.  This loan was repaid with proceeds from the permanent loan obtained in February 2009 on 865 Bellevue Apartments.

 

On February 19, 2009, the Partnership obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $19,350,000 on 865 Bellevue Apartments.  The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.344% per annum, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $120,000 beginning on April 1, 2009 through the mortgage loan’s March 1, 2019 maturity date. The mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $16,373,000 due at maturity. The Partnership may prepay the mortgage loan at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.  The Partnership used approximately $11,200,000 of the net proceeds received from the February 19, 2009 mortgage loan to pay in full the Affiliate Loan issued on January 12, 2009.  In accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, payment of the loan may be accelerated at the option of the lender if an event of default, as defined in the loan agreement, occurs. Events of default include nonpayment of monthly principal and interest by the due date; nonpayment of the matured balance of the loan on the maturity date; and the occurrence of any breach or default in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements made by the Partnership.

(1)   The decrease in occupancy at 865 Bellevue Apartments is due to the redevelopment at the property.  The redevelopment was complete at December 31, 2008.

 

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 consisted 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 consisted 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 redevelopment project was completed at December 31, 2008 at a total cost of $18,139,000.  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 year ended December 31, 2008 additional costs of approximately $6,866,000 have been incurred. The Partnership funded the redevelopment from operations, proceeds received in connection with the sales and financings of other investment properties and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P, an affiliate of the General Partner, although AIMCO Properties, L.P. was 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.  During the construction period, certain expenses are being capitalized and will be depreciated over the remaining life of the related assets. During the year ended December 31, 2008, approximately $185,000 of construction period interest, $5,000 of construction period operating costs and $19,000 of construction period taxes were capitalized related to the redevelopment.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately $162,000 of construction period interest, $6,000 of construction period operating costs and $13,000 of construction period taxes were capitalized related to the redevelopment.

 

As noted under "Item 1. Business", the real estate industry is highly competitive.  All of the properties are subject to competition from other residential apartment complexes in the area.  The General Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately insured.  Each property is an apartment complex which leases units for lease terms of one year or less.  No residential tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space.  All of the properties are in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age.

Item 3.     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 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 will be dismissed.  During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid 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.

 

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, no matters were submitted to a vote of unitholders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for distributions payable to the General Partner and Special Limited Partners.

 

In conjunction with the transfer of funds from their certain majority-owned sub-tier limited partnerships to the Partnership, approximately $354,000 and zero, was distributed to the general partner of the majority owned sub-tier limited partnerships during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Partnership declared distributions of approximately $13,442,000 (approximately $12,905,000 or $37.65 per limited partnership unit) from proceeds from the December 31, 2008 sale of Belmont Place Apartments and approximately $6,520,000 (approximately $6,259,000 to the limited partners or $18.26 per limited partnership unit) from proceeds from the February 2009 mortgage financing of 865 Bellevue Apartments.

 

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, and 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 required capital expenditures to permit additional distributions to its partners in the year 2009 or subsequent periods. See "Item 2. Capital Improvements” for information relating to anticipated capital expenditures at the properties.

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 237,778.50 Units in the Partnership representing 69.37% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 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 and its affiliates are in a position to control all 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.

 

Item 7.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This item should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report.

 

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 was approximately $54,601,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $27,638,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in net income is primarily due to the recognition of a gain on sale of discontinued operations, a decrease in loss from discontinued operations and an increase in total revenues partially offset by an increase in total expenses and a decrease in the recognition of casualty gains.

In December 2006, Rivers Edge Apartments suffered wind and water damage to some of its rental units.  Insurance proceeds of approximately $33,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2007.  The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $33,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.  The casualty gain is included in loss from discontinued operations.

 

In January 2007, Arbours of Hermitage Apartments suffered fire damage to eight rental units. The cost to repair the units was approximately $1,039,000. Insurance proceeds of approximately $484,000 and $545,000 were received during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The Partnership recognized casualty gains of approximately $484,000 and $545,000 during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty. No additional insurance proceeds are expected to be received related to this casualty.

 

In October 2006, Post Ridge Apartments suffered fire damage to two rental units.  The estimated cost to repair the damaged units was approximately $160,000.  During the year ended December 31, 2007 the Partnership received approximately $148,000 of insurance proceeds related to this casualty.  The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $148,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty. Insurance proceeds of approximately $8,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2007 for lost rents and are included in rental income.

 

In July 2006, 865 Bellevue Apartments suffered fire damage to eighteen rental units.  The estimated cost to repair the damaged units is approximately $1,012,000 which was covered by insurance proceeds.  Insurance proceeds of approximately $1,070,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2007 of which approximately $68,000 was to cover lost rents. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $1,002,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.

 

In March 2006, 865 Bellevue Apartments suffered water and fire damage to eighteen rental units.  Insurance proceeds of approximately $317,000 and $797,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The Partnership recognized casualty gains of approximately $317,000 and $797,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.

 

Total revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to an increase in rental income partially offset by a decrease in other income.  Rental income increased due to increases in the average rental rates at all three investment properties and in occupancy at Arbours of Hermitage Apartments partially offset by a decrease in occupancy at 865 Bellevue Apartments and Post Ridge Apartments.  Other income decreased primarily due to a decrease in interest income as a result of a decrease in average cash balances, partially offset by an increase in parking income at 865 Bellevue Apartments. 

 

Total expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to increases in depreciation, operating, interest and property tax expenses partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses.  Depreciation expense increased due to assets being placed into service at all three of the investment properties over the past twelve months.  Operating expense increased due to increases in washer/dryer rental expenses, salaries and commissions, advertising expenses and management fees primarily at 865 Bellevue Apartments.  In addition operating expenses increased due to increases in clean up costs associated with repairing apartment units affected by fire and water damage as discussed above and as a result of additional expenses incurred in connection with the redevelopment of 865 Bellevue Apartments as a result of the general contractor’s unsatisfactory performance under the terms of the redevelopment contract. Interest expense increased due to the additional mortgage at Post Ridge Apartments during 2007 as well as an increase in interest on the first mortgage at Post Ridge Apartments which was recast in 2007.  Property tax expense increased primarily due to an increase in the assessed value of 865 Bellevue Apartments.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in management reimbursements as a result of the 2007 and 2008 investment property sales. Included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement.  Also included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At December 31, 2008 the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15,047,000 compared to approximately $1,346,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $13,701,000 from December 31, 2007 is due to approximately $68,748,000 of cash provided by investing activities and approximately $2,063,000 of cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by approximately $57,110,000 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, Rivers Edge Apartments and Belmont Place Apartments, withdrawals from restricted escrows and insurance proceeds received, partially offset by property improvements and replacements. 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.

 

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $3,106,000 and $1,720,000 during the years ended December 31, 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 Apartments.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P., approximately $2,518,000 which included approximately $41,000 of interest.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P., approximately $3,382,000 which included approximately $90,000 of interest.  Interest on advances was charged at prime plus 2% which was 5.25% at December 31, 2008.  Interest expense was approximately $47,000 and $76,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  At December 31, 2008, there were approximately $635,000 of advances and related accrued interest outstanding. At December 31, 2007, there were no advances or associated interest owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P.  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 December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced funds of approximately $11,125,000 to the Partnership to repay the mortgage encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments.  Also, subsequent to December 31, 2008, outstanding advances and accrued interest of approximately $11,836,000 were repaid with proceeds from the sale of Belmont Place Apartments and the permanent loan obtained on 865 Bellevue Apartments, as discussed below.

 

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. 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 consisted 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 consisted 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 redevelopment project was completed at December 31, 2008 at a total cost of $18,139,000.  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 year ended December 31, 2008 additional costs of approximately $6,866,000 have been incurred. The Partnership funded the redevelopment from operations, proceeds received in connection with the sales and financings of other investment properties and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P, an affiliate of the General Partner, although AIMCO Properties, L.P. was 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.  During the construction period, certain expenses are being capitalized and will be depreciated over the remaining life of the property. During the year ended December 31, 2008, approximately $185,000 of construction period interest, $5,000 of construction period operating costs and $19,000 of construction period taxes were capitalized related to the redevelopment.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately $162,000 of construction period interest, $6,000 of construction period operating costs and $13,000 of construction period taxes were capitalized related to the redevelopment.

 

The Partnership has no other material commitments for property improvements and replacements, however certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2009. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the properties as well as replacement reserves and cash flow generated by the properties. Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership 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 in the short term.

 

The Partnership's assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Partnership’s investment properties of approximately $27,629,000 matures at various dates between 2009 and 2022 with balloon payments of approximately $11,078,000, $8,964,000, $1,644,000 and $3,086,000 due in 2009, 2015, 2020 and 2022, respectively.  The General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to such maturity dates.  If a property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure.

 

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 non-recourse 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 which were capitalized and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

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 non-recourse 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 $3,709,000. 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 has a maturity of October 1, 2010, with two one-year extension options. The new mortgage requires 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 is due.  The new loan had a variable interest rate of the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.78%, which rate at December 31, 2007 was 6.01% per annum, and resets monthly.  The variable interest rate may increase to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.98% if the debt service coverage ratio of the investment property decreased 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 are 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 non-recourse 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 $64,000 which were capitalized and are included in asset held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the mortgage encumbering Citadel Village Apartments was repaid with proceeds from the June 20, 2008 sale.

 

On November 30, 2007, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage debt encumbering one of its investment properties, Village East Apartments, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage debt, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance of $2,000,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $3,100,000. 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.  The Secured Credit Facility has a maturity of October 1, 2010, with two one-year extension options. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of interest only beginning on January 1, 2008, through the October 1, 2010 maturity date, at which date the entire principal balance of $3,100,000 is due.  The new loan had a variable interest rate of the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.78%, which rate at December 31, 2007 was 6.01% per annum, and resets monthly.  The variable interest rate may increase to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.98% if the debt service coverage ratio of the investment property decreased 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 and Registrant. 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 are prepayable without penalty.  As a condition of the Secured Credit Facility, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership and Registrant, to guarantee certain non-recourse 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 $65,000 which were capitalized and are included in assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the mortgage encumbering Village East Apartments was repaid with proceeds from the June 20, 2008 sale.

 

On January 12, 2009, the Partnership received a loan of approximately $11,125,000 from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner (the “Affiliate Loan”).  These loan proceeds were then used to pay in full the existing mortgage loan encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments, which at the time of the payoff had a principal balance of approximately $11,078,000 and matured on January 12, 2009.  The Affiliate Loan was unsecured and bore interest at 6.0%.  This loan was repaid with proceeds from the permanent loan obtained in February 2009 on 865 Bellevue Apartments.

 

On February 19, 2009, the Partnership obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $19,350,000 on 865 Bellevue Apartments.  The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.344% per annum, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $120,000 beginning on April 1, 2009 through the mortgage loan’s March 1, 2019 maturity date. The mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $16,373,000 due at maturity. The Partnership may prepay the mortgage loan at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.  The Partnership used approximately $11,200,000 of the net proceeds received from the February 19, 2009 mortgage loan to pay in full the Affiliate Loan issued on January 12, 2009.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for distributions payable to the General Partner and Special Limited Partners.

 

In conjunction with the transfer of funds from their certain majority-owned sub-tier limited partnerships to the Partnership, approximately $354,000 and zero, was distributed to the general partner of the majority owned sub-tier limited partnerships during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Partnership declared distributions of approximately $13,442,000 (approximately $12,905,000 or $37.65 per limited partnership unit) from proceeds from the December 31, 208 sale of Belmont Place Apartments and approximately $6,520,000 (approximately $6,259,000 to the limited partners or $18.26 per limited partnership unit) from proceeds from the February 2009 mortgage financing of 865 Bellevue Apartments.

 

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, and 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 required capital expenditures to permit additional distributions to its partners in the year 2009 or subsequent periods. See "Item 2. Capital Improvements” for information relating to anticipated capital expenditures at the properties.

 

Other

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 237,778.50 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 69.37% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 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 and its affiliates are in a position to control all 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.

A summary of the Partnership's significant accounting policies is included in "Note A – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data". The General Partner believes that the consistent application of these policies enables the Partnership to provide readers of the consolidated financial statements with useful and reliable information about the Partnership's operating results and financial condition.  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Partnership's accounting policies in many areas. 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.

The Partners

Consolidated Capital Properties IV, LP

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Consolidated Capital Properties IV, LP as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' (deficiency) capital, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Consolidated Capital Properties IV, LP at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization: Consolidated Capital Properties IV (the "Partnership" or "Registrant"), a California limited partnership, was formed on September 22, 1981, to operate and hold real estate properties.  The general partner of the Partnership is ConCap Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner" or "CEI"), a Delaware corporation. Additionally, the General Partner is a subsidiary of 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.  As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership operates 3 residential properties which are located in Tennessee.

 

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.

 

Consolidation: The Partnership's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership, its wholly-owned partnerships, and its 99% limited partnership interest in Post Ridge Associates, Ltd., Concap River’s Edge Associates, Ltd., and Foothill Chimney Associates, L.P.  The Partnership may remove the general partner of its 99% owned partnerships; therefore, the partnerships are deemed controlled and therefore consolidated by the Partnership.  All significant interpartnership balances have been eliminated.

 

Basis of Presentation:  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 has been restated to reflect the operations of Foothill Place Apartments, Citadel Village Apartments, Village East Apartments, Rivers Edge Apartments and Belmont Place Apartments as discontinued operations as a result of the sale of the respective properties during 2008. The operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 of these properties are included in (loss) income 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 and Belmont Place sold on December 31, 2008. The consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 also include the operations of Citadel Apartments, The Apartments and Lake Forest Apartments as discontinued operations as a result of the sale of the respective properties during 2007. The operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 of these properties are included in (loss) income from discontinued operations. Citadel Apartments was sold on March 30, 2007.  The Apartments and Lake Forest Apartments were both sold on April 3, 2007. 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 consolidated balance sheet has been restated for this classification as of this date.

 

The following table presents summarized results of operations related to the Partnership’s discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

 

Included in loss from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are revenues and (loss) income for the five properties which sold during 2008 and the three properties which sold during 2007. Also included in (loss) income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 is income for Briar Bay Apartments, which sold during 2004, from receipt of real estate tax refunds during 2008 which had been under dispute.

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks.  At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits. Cash balances include approximately $14,543,000 and $532,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, that are maintained by an affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in a cash concentration account.

 

Security Deposits: The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease and such deposits are included in receivables and deposits.  Deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged the space and is current on rental payments.

 

Restricted Escrow: In connection with the refinancing of 865 Bellevue Apartments in November of 2005, the lender required the establishment of an escrow account for the purposes of renovations to be done on the property to be maintained by the lender. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the total reserve balance was approximately zero and $1,307,000, respectively. Such funds were released as the repairs were completed.

 

In connection with the January 2007 casualty at Arbours of Hermitage Apartments, the mortgage lender held the insurance proceeds received until such time as the repairs were completed. At December 31, 2008 and 2007 the lender was holding approximately zero and $308,000, respectively.

 

In connection with the 2007 additional financing obtained on Post Ridge Apartments, the lender requires monthly deposits of approximately $3,800 to a replacement reserve account.  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the replacement reserve account balance was approximately $12,000 and zero, respectively.

 

Investments in Real Estate:  Investment properties consists of three apartment complexes and are stated at cost.  The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects, other tangible property improvements and replacements of existing property components.  Costs including interest, property taxes and operating costs associated with redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress in accordance with SFAS No. 34, “Capitalization of Interest Costs” and SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.”  Costs incurred in connection with capital projects are capitalized where the costs of the project exceed $250.  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.  During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership capitalized interest of $206,000 and $240,000, property taxes of $21,000 and $25,000 and operating costs of $6,000 and $10,000, respectively. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the useful life of the asset.  Expenditures for ordinary repairs, maintenance and apartment turnover costs are expensed as incurred.

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.  No adjustments for impairment of value were necessary for the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007.

 

Depreciation: Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the investment properties and related personal property.  For Federal income tax purposes, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation of (1) real property additions over 27 1/2 years and (2) personal property additions over 5 years.

 

Leases: 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.

 

Deferred Costs: Loan costs of approximately $591,000 for both December 31, 2008 and 2007 net of accumulated amortization of approximately $277,000 and $200,000 are included in other assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Loan costs of approximately $610,000, less accumulated amortization of approximately $272,000, are included in assets held for sale at December 31, 2007.  The loan costs are amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements.  Amortization of loan costs is included in interest expense and (loss) income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and was approximately $152,000 and $257,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $30,000 in 2009 through 2013.

 

Leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases. Amortization of these costs is included in operating expenses and (loss) income from discontinued operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", as amended by SFAS No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of 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 in the SFAS 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 amount of its financial instruments (except for long term debt) approximates their fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments, including the mortgages encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its long-term debt 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.  The fair value of the Partnership's long term debt at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate approximates its carrying value.

 

Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss: The Partnership Agreement provides for income (losses) and distributions of distributable cash from operations to be allocated generally 96% to the Limited Partners and 4% to the General Partner. Gain on sale of investment properties is allocated among the partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

 

Net Income Per Limited Partnership Unit: Net income per Limited Partnership Unit is computed by dividing net income allocated to the Limited Partners by the number of Units outstanding. Per Unit information has been computed based on the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of each year.

 

Segment Reporting: SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. As defined in SFAS No. 131, the Partnership has only one reportable segment.

 

Advertising Costs: Advertising costs of approximately $449,000 and $552,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively, are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expense and (loss) income from discontinued operations.

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, such as the reporting entity’s own data. SFAS No. 157 requires fair value measurements to be disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are applicable to recurring fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Partnership is generally limited to annual disclosures required by SFAS No. 107.  The Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008, and at that time determined no transition adjustment was required.

 

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 of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $810,000 and $1,032,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in operating expense and (loss) income from discontinued operations. 

 

Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $700,000 and $1,059,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses, investment properties, assets held for sale and gain on sale of investment properties.  The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties, assets held for sale and gain on sale of investment properties for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $293,000 and $524,000, respectively. Additionally, in connection with the redevelopment project (as discussed in Note G), 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 $255,000 and $396,000 in redevelopment supervision fees during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in investment properties.  At December 31, 2008 approximately $18,000 of accountable administrative expenses were owed and are included in due to affiliates.  No amounts were owed at December 31, 2007.

 

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $3,106,000 and $1,720,000 during the years ended December 31, 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 Apartments.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P., approximately $2,518,000 which included approximately $41,000 of interest.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P., approximately $3,382,000 which included approximately $90,000 of interest.  Interest on advances was charged at prime plus 2% which was 5.25% at December 31, 2008.  Interest expense was approximately $47,000 and $76,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  At December 31, 2008, there was approximately $635,000 of advances and related accrued interest outstanding. At December 31, 2007, there were no advances or associated interest owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P.  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 December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced funds of approximately $11,125,000 to the Partnership to repay the mortgage  and associated accrued interest encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments.  Subsequent to December 31, 2008, outstanding advances and accrued interest of approximately $11,836,000, were repaid with proceeds from the sale of Belmont Place Apartments and the permanent loan obtained on 865 Bellevue Apartments. See Note K – Subsequent Events.

 

During 2007 and 2008 the Partnership was charged approximately $368,000 of costs associated with the redevelopment of 865 Bellevue Apartments, by an affiliate of the General Partner.  During 2009 it was determined that these charges should not have been charged to or paid by the Partnership.  At December 31, 2008 a receivable of approximately $368,000 was established for the refund of these costs which had been capitalized.  This receivable was collected subsequent to December 31, 2008.  The receivable of $368,000 was included as a reduction of due to affiliates at December 31, 2008.

 

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 years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Partnership paid AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $248,000 and $693,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

 

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 December 31, 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 and its affiliates are in a position to control all 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.

(b)See Note K – Subsequent Events

 

The notes payable represent borrowings on the properties purchased by the Partnership. The notes are non-recourse, and are collateralized by deeds of trust on the investment properties. The notes mature between 2009 and 2022 with balloon payments of approximately $11,078,000, $8,964,000, $1,644,000, and $3,086,000 due in 2009, 2015, 2020 and 2022, respectively. Various mortgages require prepayment penalties if repaid prior to maturity. Further, the properties may not be sold subject to existing indebtedness.

 

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 non-recourse 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 which were capitalized and are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

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 non-recourse 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 $3,709,000. 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 has 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 at December 31, 2007 was 6.01% per annum, and resets 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 decreased 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 are 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 non-recourse 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 $64,000. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the mortgage encumbering Citadel Village Apartments was repaid with proceeds from the June 20, 2008 sale.

 

On November 30, 2007, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage debt encumbering one of its investment properties, Village East Apartments, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage debt, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance of $2,000,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $3,100,000. 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.  The Secured Credit Facility had a maturity of October 1, 2010, with two one-year extension options. The new mortgage required monthly payments of interest only beginning on January 1, 2008, through the October 1, 2010 maturity date, at which date the entire principal balance of $3,100,000 was due.  The new loan had a variable interest rate of the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.78%, which rate at December 31, 2007 was 6.01% per annum, and resets 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 and Registrant. 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 and Registrant, to guarantee certain non-recourse 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 $65,000. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the mortgage encumbering Village East Apartments was repaid with proceeds from the June 20, 2008 sale.

Note D - Distributions

 

In conjunction with the transfer of funds from certain majority-owned sub-tier limited partnerships to the Partnership, approximately $354,000 and zero was distributed to the general partner of the majority owned sub-tier limited partnership during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

During 2008, the Partnership declared distributions of approximately $29,923,000 (approximately $28,726,000 to the limited partners or $83.80 per limited partnership unit) consisting of sale proceeds from the 2008 sales of Foothill Place Apartments, Citadel Village Apartments, Village East Apartments and Rivers Edge Apartments. Approximately $1,197,000 of these distributions from proceeds is payable at December 31, 2008 to the General Partner and Special Limited Partners as this portion is subordinated and deferred per the Partnership Agreement until the limited partners receive 100% of their original capital contributions from surplus cash.

 

During 2007, the Partnership declared distributions of approximately $7,300,000 (approximately $7,008,000 to the limited partners or $20.45 per limited partnership unit) consisting of sales proceeds from the 2007 sales of Citadel Apartments and The Apartments in 2007. Approximately $292,000 of these distributions from proceeds is payable at December 31, 2007 to the General Partner and Special Limited Partners as this portion is subordinated and deferred per the Partnership Agreement until the limited partners receive 100% of their original capital contributions from surplus cash.

 

In years prior to 2007 the Partnership distributed various amounts from the proceeds of property sales and refinancings. At December 31, 2008, approximately $1,604,000 of these distributions from proceeds is payable to the General Partner and Special Limited Partners as the distributions are subordinated and deferred per the Partnership Agreement until the limited partners receive 100% of their original capital contributions from surplus cash.

Note K – Subsequent Events

 

On January 12, 2009, the Partnership received a loan of approximately $11,125,000 from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner (the “Affiliate Loan”).  These loan proceeds were then used to pay in full the previous mortgage loan encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments, which at the time of the payoff had a principal balance of approximately $11,078,000 and matured on January 12, 2009.  The Affiliate Loan is unsecured and bears interest at 6.0%. 

 

On February 19, 2009, the Partnership obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $19,350,000 on 865 Bellevue.  The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.344% per annum, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $120,000 beginning on April 1, 2009 through the mortgage loan’s March 1, 2019 maturity date. The mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $16,373,000 due at maturity. The Partnership may prepay the mortgage loan at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.  The Partnership used approximately $11,200,000 of the net proceeds received from the February 19, 2009 mortgage loan to pay in full the Affiliate Loan issued on January 12, 2009. In accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, payment of the loan may be accelerated at the option of the lender if an event of default, as defined in the loan agreement, occurs. Events of default include nonpayment of monthly principal and interest by the due date; nonpayment of the matured balance of the loan on the maturity date; and the occurrence of any breach or default in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements made by the Partnership.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Partnership declared distributions of approximately $13,442,000 (approximately $12,905,000 or $37.65 per limited partnership unit) from proceeds from the December 31, 2008 sale of Belmont Place Apartments and approximately $6,520,000 (approximately $6,259,000 to the limited partners or $18.26 per limited partnership unit) from proceeds from the February 2009 mortgage financing of 865 Bellevue Apartments.

 

Note L - 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 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 will be dismissed.  During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid 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 property that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

 

Environmental

 

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property, 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 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 9.     Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

None.

 

Item 9a(T). 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 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. 

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Partnership’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, and effected by the Partnership’s management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

·         pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;

 

·         provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Partnership’s management; and

 

·         provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

The Partnership’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  In making this assessment, the Partnership’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

 

Based on their assessment, the Partnership’s management concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

(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 fourth quarter of 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

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 of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $810,000 and $1,032,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in operating expense and (loss) income from discontinued operations.

 

Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $700,000 and $1,059,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses, investment properties, assets held for sale and gain on sale of investment properties.  The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties, assets held for sale and gain on sale of investment properties for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $293,000 and $524,000, respectively. Additionally, in connection with the redevelopment project (as discussed in Note G), 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 $225,000 and $396,000 in redevelopment supervision fees during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in investment properties.  At December 31, 2008 approximately $18,000 of accountable administrative expenses were owed and are included in due to affiliates.  No amounts were owed at December 31, 2007.

 

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $3,106,000 and $1,720,000 during the years ended December 31, 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 Apartments.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P., approximately $2,518,000 which included approximately $41,000 of interest.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P., approximately $3,382,000 which included approximately $90,000 of interest.  Interest on advances was charged at prime plus 2% which was 5.25% at December 31, 2008.  Interest expense was approximately $47,000 and $76,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  At December 31, 2008, there was approximately $635,000 of advances and related accrued interest outstanding. At December 31, 2007, there were no advances or associated interest owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P.  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 December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced funds of approximately $11,125,000 to the Partnership to repay the mortgage encumbering Belmont Place Apartments.  Subsequent to December 31, 2008, outstanding advances and accrued interest of approximately $11,836,000, were repaid with proceeds from the sale of Belmont Place Apartments and the permanent loan obtained on 85 Bellevue Apartments.

 

During 2007 and 2008 the Partnership was charged approximately $368,000 of costs associated with the redevelopment of 865 Bellevue Apartments, by an affiliate of the General Partner.  During 2009 it was determined that these charges should not have been charged to or paid by the Partnership.  At December 31, 2008 a receivable of approximately $368,000 was established for the refund of these costs which had been capitalized.  This receivable was collected subsequent to December 31, 2008.  The receivable of $368,000 was included as a reduction of due to affiliates at December 31, 2008.

 

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 years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Partnership paid AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $248,000 and $693,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 237,778.50 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 69.37% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 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 and its affiliates are in a position to control all 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.

 

Neither of the General Partner’s directors is independent under the independence standards established for New York Stock Exchange listed companies as both directors are employed by the parent of the General Partner.

 

Item 14.    Principal Accounting Fees and Services

 

The General Partner has reappointed Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership for 2009.  The aggregate fees billed for services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP for 2008 and 2007 are described below.

 

Audit Fees.  Fees for audit services totaled approximately $132,000 and $123,000 for 2008 and 2007, respectively. Fees for audit services also include fees for the reviews of the Partnership’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

 

Tax Fees.  Fees for tax services totaled approximately $56,000 and $58,000 for 2008 and 2007, respectively.
