HCW PENSION REAL ESTATE FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of HCW Pension Real Estate Fund 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 of the Partnership is HCW General Partner Ltd., whose sole general partner is IH, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner"). In the opinion of the Managing 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, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The General Partner and Managing General Partner are both affiliates of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.
The Partnerships management evaluated subsequent events through the time this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed.
The Partnership has no employees and depends on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for (i) certain payments to affiliates for services and (ii) reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership's sole property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $31,000 and $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which is included in operating expenses. At December 31, 2010, the Partnership owed approximately $1,000 of property management fees which is included in due to affiliates. No such fees were owed at March 31, 2011.
An affiliate of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership asset management fees amounting to approximately $12,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses. The asset management fees are calculated based on a percentage of the tangible asset value of the Partnership as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The percentage as stipulated in the Partnership Agreement is 0.50% for both 2011 and 2010. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership owed approximately $2,000 and $22,000, respectively, of asset management fees which are included in due to affiliates.
Affiliates of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $9,000 for both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, which is included in general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2010, the Partnership owed approximately $23,000 of accountable administrative expenses which are included in due to affiliates. There were no such fees owed to the Managing General Partner at March 31, 2011.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $73,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to assist with capital expenditures and operating expenses at Lewis Park Apartments. There were no advances received during the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership repaid advances and associated accrued interest of approximately $30,000 with cash from operations. No such payments were made during the three months ended March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total advances and accrued interest due to AIMCO Properties, L.P. was approximately $2,505,000 and $2,472,000, respectively. The interest rates on the outstanding advances made to the Partnership are based on the prime rate plus a market rate adjustment for similar type loans. Affiliates of the Managing General Partner review the market rate adjustment quarterly. The interest rates on outstanding advances at March 31, 2011 ranged from 9.44% to 18.56%. Interest expense was approximately $63,000 and $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheets, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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 Managing General Partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $44,000 for hazard insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2011 as other insurance policies renew later in the year. The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $72,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Note C Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 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 the mortgage note payable) approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its mortgage note payable 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 mortgage notes payable. At March 31, 2011, the fair value of the Partnership's mortgage note payable at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate was approximately $4,129,000.
Note D Casualty Event
In May 2009, Lewis Park Apartments suffered storm damage to several of its apartment buildings. The damages were approximately $527,000, including clean up costs of approximately $49,000. The clean up costs were included in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009. Insurance proceeds of approximately $469,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2009, which included approximately $49,000 in proceeds for clean up costs and were held by the mortgage lender until the repairs and clean up were completed. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $398,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009, as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $420,000, net of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $22,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership recognized an additional casualty gain of approximately $47,000 as a result of the receipt of additional insurance proceeds of approximately $48,000 net of the write-off of additional undepreciated assets of approximately $1,000. No additional insurance proceeds are anticipated to be received.
Note E Contingencies
The Partnership is unaware of any 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 potentially hazardous materials present on a property, including lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based fuels, and other miscellaneous materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, these materials 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 improper management of these materials 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 these materials through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of these materials 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 responsible for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property.
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 Partnerships ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy, rental rates and property operating results and the effect of redevelopments. 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 Partnerships control, including, without limitation: financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing and the risk that the Partnerships 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, including the pace of job growth and the level of unemployment; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnerships 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; 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 Partnerships 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 Partnerships investment property consists of one residential apartment complex. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the property for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:
|
Average Occupancy | |
Property |
2011 |
2010 |
|
|
|
Lewis Park Apartments |
97% |
86% |
Carbondale, Illinois |
|
|
The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Lewis Park Apartments to improvements to the appearance of the property and an improved marketing plan. The Managing General Partner implemented an aggressive marketing plan during 2009 in an effort to attract new tenants, primarily through offering additional amenities to the residents, including free internet, cable, water and trash removal. The Managing General Partner also implemented a resident referral program, increased advertising and held an open house to promote the property improvements to the public and help increase renewals for the 2010/2011 school years.
The Partnerships 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 Managing 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 Managing 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 Managing General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Managing 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 impact the Partnerships financial results.
Results of Operations
The Partnership recognized net losses of approximately $112,000 and $128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The decrease in net loss is due to an increase in total revenues and a decrease in total expenses, partially offset by a decrease in the recognition of a casualty gain.
Total revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to an increase in rental income, partially offset by a decrease in other income. Rental income increased due to an increase in both occupancy and the average rental rate at Lewis Park Apartments. Other income decreased due to the receipt of a non-recurring cable television reimbursement during 2010.
Total expenses decreased due to decreases in operating and property tax expenses, partially offset by an increase in interest expense. General and administrative and depreciation expenses remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. Operating expenses decreased due to decreases in advertising costs, salaries and related benefits and utility costs, partially offset by increases in hazard insurance premiums and management fee expense, due to an increase in revenues upon which the fee is based. Property tax expense decreased due to the receipt of a refund during the first quarter of 2011 as a result of the successful appeal of the 2008 property taxes and a decrease of the assessed value of the property for current year taxes. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in interest on advances received from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, as a result of an increase in the average outstanding advance balance.
Included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are reimbursements to the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement, an asset management fee which is calculated based on a percentage of the tangible asset value of the Partnership as defined in the Partnership Agreement, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.
In May 2009, Lewis Park Apartments suffered storm damage to several of its apartment buildings. The damages were approximately $527,000, including clean up costs of approximately $49,000. The clean up costs were included in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009. Insurance proceeds of approximately $469,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2009, which includes approximately $49,000 in proceeds for clean up costs and were held by the mortgage lender until the repairs and clean up were completed. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $398,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009, as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $420,000, net of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $22,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership recognized an additional casualty gain of approximately $47,000 as a result of the receipt of additional insurance proceeds of approximately $48,000 net of the write-off of additional undepreciated assets of approximately $1,000. No additional insurance proceeds are anticipated to be received.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2011, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $112,000 compared to approximately $79,000 at December 31, 2010. Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $33,000 due to approximately $144,000 of cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by approximately $90,000 and $21,000 of cash used in financing and investing activities, respectively. Cash used in financing activities consisted of principal payments made on the mortgage encumbering Lewis Park Apartments and repayment of advances received from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $73,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to assist with capital expenditures and operating expenses at Lewis Park Apartments. There were no advances received during the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership repaid advances and associated accrued interest of approximately $30,000 with cash from operations. No such payments were made during the three months ended March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total advances and accrued interest due to AIMCO Properties, L.P. was approximately $2,505,000 and $2,472,000, respectively. The interest rates on the outstanding advances made to the Partnership are based on the prime rate plus a market rate adjustment for similar type loans. Affiliates of the Managing General Partner review the market rate adjustment quarterly. The interest rates on outstanding advances at March 31, 2011 ranged from 9.44% to 18.56%. Interest expense was approximately $63,000 and $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheets, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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 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 Managing General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. Capital improvements planned for the Partnerships property are detailed below.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership completed approximately $24,000 of capital expenditures at Lewis Park Apartments, consisting primarily of water heaters, bath accessories and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. 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 2011. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
The 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 fund such advances. To the extent that such 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 short-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements and repayment of amounts accrued and payable to affiliates) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Lewis Park Apartments of approximately $3,675,000 is amortized over 20 years with a maturity date of September 1, 2020, at which time the loan is scheduled to be fully amortized.
The Partnership made no distributions to its partners during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, property sale and/or refinancing. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. In light of the amounts accrued and payable to affiliates at March 31, 2011, it is unlikely that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after capital improvement expenditures and repayment of amounts accrued and payable to affiliates, to permit distributions to its partners during 2011 or subsequent periods.
Other
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 6,227 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 39.68% of the outstanding Units as of March 31, 2011. 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 Managing General Partner. Although the Managing General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The 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 Asset
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 Partnerships 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 Partnerships 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 Partnerships 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.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Partnerships management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnerships principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnerships 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 Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnerships principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There has been no change in the Partnerships 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 Partnerships internal control over financial reporting.
