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 items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The 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.

 

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

 

The accompanying consolidated statements of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 reflect the operations of Tar River Estates Apartments as loss from discontinued operations and the balance sheets as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 reflect the assets and liabilities of Tar River Estates Apartments as held for sale, as the Partnership determined that the held for sale criteria were met at March 31, 2010. On February 9, 2010, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of Tar River Estates Apartments, which is projected to close during the second quarter of 2010 for a sales price of $6,900,000. The consolidated statement of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 also reflects the operations of Lake Johnson Mews Apartments, which sold on June 26, 2009, as loss from discontinued operations.

 

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

 

The following tables present summarized results of operations related to the Partnership’s discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

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 $23,000 and $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 $12,000 and $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses and investment property. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment property for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner of approximately $3,000 and $1,000, respectively. At March 31, 2010, approximately $8,000 of these expenses are outstanding and included in due to affiliates. There were no such amounts owed at December 31, 2009.

 

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.

 

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner, advanced to the Partnership approximately $50,000 to fund operating expenses at Tar River Estates Apartments. The advance bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% (5.25% at March 31, 2010). Interest expense was less than $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. There were no such advances or interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, there were outstanding advances and associated accrued interest of approximately $50,000, which is included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheet. There were no outstanding advances or accrued interest owed at December 31, 2009. Subsequent to March 31, 2010, the Partnership received an advance of approximately $23,000 to fund operating expenses at Tar River Estates Apartments. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Partnership insures its property 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 property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the Corporate General Partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $20,000 for hazard insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2010 as other insurance policies renew later in the year.  The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $57,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Note C – Casualty Event

 

In May 2008, Lake Johnson Mews Apartments sustained damages of approximately $88,000 from a water main break. During 2008, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $21,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $28,000, net of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $7,000. During 2008, the Partnership also received approximately $6,000 for lost rents as a result of the casualty. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership recognized an additional casualty gain of approximately $44,000 as a result of the receipt of additional insurance proceeds.

 

Note D - Sale of Investment Property

 

On June 26, 2009, the Partnership sold Lake Johnson Mews Apartments, located in Raleigh, North Carolina, to a third party for a sales price of $10,790,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $2,577,000 after payment of closing costs of approximately $192,000 and the assumption of the mortgages of approximately $8,021,000 by the purchaser. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $7,248,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $186,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs.

 

Note E – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for long term debt) approximates their fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments. 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, fully amortizing long-term debt. At March 31, 2010, the fair value of the Partnership's long-term debt at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate was approximately $4,165,000.

 

Note F – Distribution Payable

 

The distribution payable at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 represents the estimated North Carolina withholding taxes to be paid by the Partnership on behalf of certain limited partners in connection with the sale of Lake Johnson Mews Apartments. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership paid approximately $85,000 of such nonresident withholding taxes. The remaining distribution payable of approximately $107,000 at March 31, 2010 will be paid with a subsequent distribution.

 

Note G - Contingencies

 

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 (“the Defendants”) failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”).  In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action. In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions.  In the second quarter of 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel.  As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts have been dismissed.  During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $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 parties have selected six “on-call” claims that will proceed forward through the arbitration process and have selected arbitrators. After those arbitrations have been completed, the parties will revisit settling the on-call claims. The first two arbitrations took place in December 2009 and the Defendants received a defense verdict against the first two claimants, and plaintiffs dismissed the claims of the next two claimants. The remaining two arbitration hearings took place in April 2010 and the Defendants are awaiting the results. The 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 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 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 property, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property. 

 

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 discontinued operations.


 

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

 

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

 

The Partnership's investment property consists of one apartment complex.  The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the property for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment property, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment property, 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 property 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 months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $47,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $186,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

The consolidated statements of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 reflect the operations of Tar River Estates Apartments as loss from discontinued operations and the balance sheets as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 reflect the assets and liabilities of Tar River Estates Apartments as held for sale, as the Partnership determined that the held for sale criteria were met at March 31, 2010. On February 9, 2010, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of Tar River Estates Apartments, which is projected to close during the second quarter of 2010 for a sales price of $6,900,000. The consolidated statement of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 also reflects the operations of Lake Johnson Mews Apartments, which sold on June 26, 2009, as loss from discontinued operations.

 

On June 26, 2009, the Partnership sold Lake Johnson Mews Apartments, located in Raleigh, North Carolina, to a third party for a sales price of $10,790,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $2,577,000 after payment of closing costs of approximately $192,000 and the assumption of the mortgages of approximately $8,021,000 by the purchaser. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $7,248,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $186,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs.

 

The following tables present summarized results of operations related to the Partnership’s discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

The Partnership recognized losses from discontinued operations of approximately $47,000 and $186,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The decrease in loss from discontinued operations is due to a decrease in total expenses, partially offset by a decrease in total revenues and the recognition of a casualty gain in 2009. Total expenses and total revenues decreased as a result of the sale of Lake Johnson Mews Apartments in June 2009 (as discussed above). Excluding the operations of Lake Johnson Mews Apartments, the Partnership had a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $47,000 and $91,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. 

 

In May 2008, Lake Johnson Mews Apartments sustained damages of approximately $88,000 from a water main break. During 2008, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $21,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $28,000, net of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $7,000. During 2008, the Partnership also received approximately $6,000 for lost rents as a result of the casualty. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership recognized an additional casualty gain of approximately $44,000 as a result of the receipt of additional insurance proceeds.

 

Excluding the operations of Lake Johnson Mews Apartments, total revenues increased due to increases in rental income and other income.  Rental income increased due to increases in occupancy and the average rental rate and a decrease in bad debt expense at Tar River Estates Apartments. Other income increased due to an increase in application fees due to a higher apartment turnover rate at Tar River Estates Apartments.

 

Excluding the operations of Lake Johnson Mews Apartments, total expenses decreased due to decreases in operating, interest and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense. Property tax expense remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. Operating expense decreased due to a decrease in salaries and related benefits and credit card service fees at Tar River Estates Apartments. Interest expense decreased due to scheduled principal payments made on the mortgage encumbering Tar River Estates Apartments, which reduced the carrying balance of the loan. Depreciation expense increased primarily due to assets placed into service at Tar River Estates Apartments during the past twelve months which are now being depreciated. 

 

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

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2010 the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $128,000, compared to approximately $139,000 at December 31, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $11,000 due to approximately $40,000 and $86,000 of cash used in investing and financing activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $115,000 of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements. Cash used in financing activities consisted of payments of principal made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership's investment properties and distributions to partners, partially offset by advances received from an affiliate.

 

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner, advanced to the Partnership approximately $50,000 to fund operating expenses at Tar River Estates Apartments. The advance bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% (5.25% at March 31, 2010). Interest expense was less than $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. There were no such advances or interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, there were outstanding advances and associated accrued interest of approximately $50,000, which is included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheet. There were no outstanding advances or accrued interest owed at December 31, 2009. Subsequent to March 31, 2010, the Partnership received an advance of approximately $23,000 to fund operating expenses at Tar River Estates Apartments. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the investment property 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 the Partnership's remaining property are detailed below.

 

Tar River Estates Apartments:  During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $39,000 of capital improvements at Tar River Estates Apartments, consisting primarily of window replacements, exterior doors, 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 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Capital expenditures will be incurred only 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 generally sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Tar River Estates Apartments of approximately $3,909,000 matures in 2022, at which time the loan is scheduled to be fully amortized.

 

The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per unit data):

The distribution payable at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 represents the estimated North Carolina withholding taxes to be paid by the Partnership on behalf of certain limited partners in connection with the sale of Lake Johnson Mews Apartments. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership paid approximately $85,000 of such nonresident withholding taxes. The remaining distribution payable of approximately $107,000 at March 31, 2010 will be paid with a subsequent distribution.

 

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, refinancing and/or property sale.  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 distributions to its partners in 2010 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 provided by Operations as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

Other

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 39,737 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 75.63% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2010.  A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates.  It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that 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 75.63% 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 property is 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 the property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property.   If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

 

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

 

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.

 

Assets Held for Sale


The Partnership classifies long-lived assets as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset; the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated; the sale of the asset is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year; the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Depreciation is not recorded during the period in which the long-lived asset is classified as held for sale.  When the asset is designated as held for sale, the related results of operations are presented as discontinued operations.

 

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

 


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

 

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the 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 (“the Defendants”) failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”).  In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action. In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions.  In the second quarter of 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel.  As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts have been dismissed.  During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $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 parties have selected six “on-call” claims that will proceed forward through the arbitration process and have selected arbitrators. After those arbitrations have been completed, the parties will revisit settling the on-call claims. The first two arbitrations took place in December 2009 and the Defendants received a defense verdict against the first two claimants, and plaintiffs dismissed the claims of the next two claimants. The remaining two arbitration hearings took place in April 2010 and the Defendants are awaiting the results. The 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.

 

Item 6.     Exhibits.

 

See Exhibit Index.

 

The agreements included as exhibits to this Form 10-Q contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and:

 

  • should not in all instances be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;

 

  • have been qualified by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement, which disclosures are not necessarily reflected in the agreement;

 

  • may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material to an investor; and
