NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note A - Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Shelter Properties V Limited Partnership (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  The general partner responsible for management of the Partnership's business is Shelter Realty V Corporation (the "Corporate General Partner").  In the opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  The Corporate General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The other general partner of the partnership, AIMCO Properties, L.P., is also an affiliate of AIMCO.

 

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

 

The Partnership has no employees and depends on the Corporate General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities.  The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. 

 

Affiliates of the Corporate General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership’s properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $123,000 and $126,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in operating expenses.

 

Affiliates of the Corporate General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $84,000 and $88,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses and investment properties. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner of approximately $11,000 and $9,000, respectively.

 

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Corporate General Partner is entitled to a commission of up to 1% for its assistance in the sale of a property. Payment of such commission is subordinate to the limited partners receiving a cumulative 7% return on their investment and their original capital contribution.  It is not presently expected that the limited partners will receive these returns when the Partnership terminates.

 

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 Corporate General Partner. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $75,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.  Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2008 as other insurance policies renew later in the year.  The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $86,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Note C – Mortgage Financing

 

On June 30, 2008, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage in the principal amount of $2,400,000 on Lake Johnson Mews Apartments.  The second mortgage bears interest at 6.38% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $15,000 beginning on August 1, 2008 through the July 1, 2020 maturity date with a balloon payment of approximately $1,926,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to July 1, 2021.  As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing.  In connection with the new loan, loan costs of approximately $49,000 were capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and are included in other assets.

 

In connection with the second mortgage, the Partnership agreed to certain modifications of the existing mortgage encumbering Lake Johnson Mews Apartments. The modification includes an interest rate of 7.43% per annum, monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $40,000 beginning August 1, 2008 through the maturity date of July 1, 2020, at which time a balloon payment of approximately $4,713,000 is due.  The previous terms were an interest rate of 7.43%, monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $57,000 through the maturity date of July 1, 2021, at which date the mortgage was scheduled to be fully amortized. In connection with the modification of the existing mortgage, loan costs of approximately $13,000 were expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and are included in general and administrative expenses.

 

Note D – Casualty Event

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Lake Johnson Mews Apartments sustained damages of approximately $88,000 from a water main break. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $34,000.  The Partnership does not expect to recognize a loss on the event as additional proceeds are anticipated to cover the damages incurred.

 

Note E - Contingencies

 

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

 

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the Corporate General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”).  The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”).  In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action.  In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions.  In the second quarter 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel.  As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts will be dismissed.  During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership was charged approximately $5,000 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 Corporate General Partner is uncertain as to the amount of any additional loss that may be allocable to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership cannot estimate whether any additional loss will occur or a potential range of loss.

 

The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment properties that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

 

Environmental

 

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in conjunction 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 Corporate General Partner have implemented policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the Corporate 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 Corporate General Partner can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.


 

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

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

 

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

   Greenville, North Carolina

The Corporate General Partner attributes the decreases in occupancy at Lake Johnson Mews Apartments and Tar River Estates Apartments to increased competition in the local areas.

 

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 Corporate 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 Corporate 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 Corporate General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions; accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Corporate 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 loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $262,000 and $767,000, respectively, compared to net loss of approximately $342,000 and $767,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The decrease in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is due to an increase in total revenues and a decrease in total expenses. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 stayed relatively constant as a decrease in total revenues was offset by a decrease in total expenses. The increase in total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is due to increases in rental income and other income. The decrease in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due to a decrease in rental income, partially offset by an increase in other income. Rental income increased for the three month period due to increases in occupancy at both of the Partnership’s investment properties and the average rental rate at Lake Johnson Mews Apartments and a decrease in bad debt expense at Tar River Estates Apartments, partially offset by a decrease in the average rental rate at Tar River Estates Apartments.  Rental income decreased for the nine month period due to decreases in occupancy at both of the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by an increase in the average rental rate at Lake Johnson Mews Apartments and a decrease in bad debt expense at Tar River Estates Apartments. Other income increased for the three month period primarily due to increases in lease cancellation fees and other fees at Tar River Estates Apartments. Other income increased for the nine month period due to increases in lease cancellation fees and other fees at both of the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by a decrease in interest income as a result of lower average cash balances.

 

The decrease in total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is due to decreases in operating and property tax expenses, partially offset by increases in general and administrative and interest expenses. Depreciation expense remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. The decrease in total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due to decreases in operating, general and administrative, depreciation and property tax expenses, partially offset by an increase in interest expense. The decrease in operating expenses for the three month period is primarily due to decreases in salaries and related benefits at Lake Johnson Mews Apartments and contract services and utilities at Tar River Estates Apartments, partially offset by an increase inrepairs incurred related to several minor occurrences of water damage at both of the Partnership’s investment properties. The decrease in operating expenses for the nine month period is primarily due to decreases in salaries and related benefits and insurance expense as a result of decreased premiums at Lake Johnson Mews Apartments and an increase in payroll costs capitalized at both of the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by an increase in costs associated with a lead based paint abatement project completed at Lake Johnson Mews Apartments. Depreciation expense decreased for the nine month period primarily due to assets placed into service in previous years at Tar River Estates Apartments becoming fully depreciated during 2007. Property tax expenses decreased for both periods due to a decrease in the property tax rates at both of the Partnership’s investment properties. The increase in interest expense for both periods is primarily due to interest expense associated with the second mortgage obtained on Lake Johnson Mews Apartments (as discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”), partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on first mortgages due to scheduled principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering both of the Partnership’s investment properties, which reduced the carrying balance of the loans.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Lake Johnson Mews Apartments sustained damages of approximately $88,000 from a water main break. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $34,000.  The Partnership does not expect to recognize a loss on the event as additional proceeds are anticipated to cover the damages incurred.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to an increase in costs associated with the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to decreases in management reimbursements to the Corporate General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement and costs associated with the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement, partially offset by an increase in expenses associated with the modification to the first mortgage encumbering Lake Johnson Mews Apartments. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2008, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $217,000, compared to approximately $475,000 at September 30, 2007.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $132,000, from December 31, 2007, is due to approximately $323,000 and $276,000 of cash used in financing and investing activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $467,000 of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in financing activities consisted of distributions to partners, loan costs paid and payments of principal made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by proceeds from the second mortgage obtained on Lake Johnson Mews Apartments. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.

 

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the investment 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 Corporate General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance.  Capital improvements planned for each of the Partnership's properties are detailed below.

 

Lake Johnson Mews Apartments:  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $169,000 of capital improvements at Lake Johnson Mews Apartments consisting primarily of gutter replacements, electrical upgrades, common area painting, water heater, appliance and floor covering replacements and construction related to damages incurred related to a broken fire hydrant pipe which caused water damage to three units. These improvements were funded from operations and insurance proceeds. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during the remainder of 2008.  Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Tar River Estates Apartments:  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $188,000 of capital improvements at Tar River Estates Apartments, consisting primarily of interior building improvements, window replacement, plumbing upgrades and appliance and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operations.  The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property.  While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during the remainder of 2008.  Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or from Partnership reserves.  To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

 

The Partnership's assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The debt encumbering Tar River Estates Apartments of approximately $4,206,000 matures in 2022, at which time the loan is scheduled to be fully amortized.

 

On June 30, 2008, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage in the principal amount of $2,400,000 on Lake Johnson Mews Apartments.  The second mortgage bears interest at 6.38% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $15,000 beginning on August 1, 2008 through the July 1, 2020 maturity date with a balloon payment of approximately $1,926,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to July 1, 2021.  As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner, to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing. In connection with the new loan, loan costs of approximately $49,000 were capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and are included in other assets.

 

In connection with the second mortgage, the Partnership agreed to certain modifications of the existing mortgage encumbering Lake Johnson Mews Apartments. The modification includes an interest rate of 7.43% per annum, monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $40,000 beginning August 1, 2008 through the maturity date of July 1, 2020, at which time a balloon payment of approximately $4,713,000 is due.  The previous terms were an interest rate of 7.43%, monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $57,000 through the maturity date of July 1, 2021, at which date the mortgage was scheduled to be fully amortized. In connection with the modification of the existing mortgage, loan costs of approximately $13,000 were expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and are included in general and administrative expenses.

 

The Corporate General Partner will attempt to refinance the indebtedness encumbering Lake Johnson Mews Apartments and/or sell the property prior to the maturity date. If the property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure.

 

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

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, the timing of debt maturity at Lake Johnson Mews Apartments, 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 improvement expenditures, to permit any additional distributions to its partners in 2008 or subsequent periods.

 

The Partnership Agreement provides for partners to receive distributions from the net proceeds of the sales of properties, the net proceeds from refinancings and net cash from operations as those terms are defined in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement requires that the limited partners be furnished with a statement of Net Cash from Operations as such term is defined in the Partnership Agreement. Net Cash from Operations should not be considered an alternative to net loss as an indicator of the Partnership's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Below is a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities as disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” to Net Cash from Operations as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 39,727 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 75.62% of the outstanding Units at September 30, 2008.  A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates.  It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Corporate General Partner.  As a result of its ownership of 75.62% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership.  Although the Corporate General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Corporate General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.   As a result, the duties of the Corporate General Partner, as corporate general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Corporate General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Investment properties are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable.  If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property.   If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

 

Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk.  Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership’s investment properties.  These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; and changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing.  Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Partnership’s assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.  The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area.  Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

 

Item 4T.    Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)   Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Corporate General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Corporate General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

(b)   Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

There have not been any changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

 


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

 

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

 

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the Corporate General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”). The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”). In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action. In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions.  In the second quarter 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts will be dismissed. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership was charged approximately $5,000 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 Corporate 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.
