ITEM 3.
  PAST CONTACTS, TRANSACTIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND AGREEMENTS.
     The Partnership has no employees and depends on Fox Capital Management Corporation, the managing general partner of the General Partner (the “Managing General Partner”), and its

2

 

affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
     Affiliates of the Managing 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 $551,000 and $661,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
     An affiliate of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $292,000 and $194,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In connection with the redevelopment projects started in 2006, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner is to receive a redevelopment planning fee of approximately $25,000 per investment property and a redevelopment supervision fee of 4% of the actual redevelopment costs, or approximately $753,000 based on current estimated redevelopment costs. The Partnership was charged approximately $94,000 in redevelopment planning and supervision fees during the year ended December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, approximately $28,000 in reimbursements was due to the Managing General Partner.
     Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, for managing the affairs of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner is entitled to receive a Partnership management fee equal to 10% of the Partnership’s adjusted cash from operations as distributed. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, no fee was earned as there were no distributions from operations.
     An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has made available to the Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the Partnership. During the year ended December 31, 2006, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $221,000 to fund operations and redevelopment costs at several of the Partnership’s properties. During the year ended December 31, 2005 this credit limit was exceeded by the Managing General Partner. During the year ended December 31, 2005 an affiliate of the Managing General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $944,000 to pay property taxes, redevelopment costs, and operating expenses at several of the Partnership’s properties. Interest on the credit line is charged at the prime rate plus 2% or 10.25% at December 31, 2006. Interest expense was approximately $1,000 and $35,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership repaid approximately $1,732,000 in principal and interest with the refinancing proceeds from Greenspoint Apartments. No payments were made during the year ended December 31, 2006. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $5,462,000 to fund operations and redevelopment spending at several of the Partnership’s investment properties.
     The Partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by Apartment Investment and Management Company, the parent company of the Managing General Partner (“AIMCO”) which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related

3

 

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 Managing General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Partnership paid AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $296,000 and $207,000, respectively, 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 60,711.66 Units in the Partnership representing 68% of the outstanding Units at May 1, 2007. 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, unit holders 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 Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 68% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to influence all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. However, with respect to the 25,228.66 Units acquired on January 19, 1996, AIMCO IPLP, L.P. (“IPLP”), an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and of AIMCO, agreed to vote such Units: (i) against any increase in compensation payable to the Managing General Partner or to its affiliates; and (ii) on all other matters submitted by it or its affiliates, in proportion to the vote cast by third party unitholders. Except for the foregoing, no other limitations are imposed on IPLP’s, AIMCO’s or any other affiliates’ right to vote each Unit held. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to the General Partner and AIMCO as the sole stockholder of the Managing General Partner. As a result, the duties of the Managing General Partner, as managing general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Managing General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.
