MCCOMBS REALTY PARTNERS NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note A - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of McCombs Realty Partners (the "Partnership" or "Registrant"), a California limited partnership, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Partnership's general partner is CRPTEX, Inc. (the "General Partner"). In the opinion of the 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, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. 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, 2003. The General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. Note B - Plan of Reorganization On March 9, 1987, the original general partners of the Partnership, on behalf of the Partnership, filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California ("Court"). The Partnership continued as Debtor-In-Possession to operate its business in the ordinary course until the Court confirmed the Partnership's Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") effective October 25, 1988. The Plan was approved by all required classes of creditors. The Plan required that the Partnership make certain payments to its secured creditors and others on or before October 20, 1995. These payments were made on or about June 25, 1995, when the Partnership refinanced the outstanding mortgages encumbering the property. The Plan also required that the Partnership make the following distributions on October 20, 1998, from available cash: 1) First, Limited Partners, both original and substitute, who made additional capital contributions under the plan would receive a repayment of the additional contributions totaling approximately $730,000; if sufficient funds were unavailable to fully satisfy this amount then a pro-rata portion would be paid based upon available funds; 2) Second, Class 12 unsecured creditors ($23,100) would be paid on their claims; 3) Third, Limited Partners who made additional capital contributions and were original Limited Partners would receive a repayment of their original capital contributions totaling approximately $9,818,000; if sufficient funds were unavailable to fully satisfy this amount then a pro-rata portion of available cash less a pro-rata portion reserved for one third of the existing capital contributions of non-contributing Limited Partners would be paid based upon available funds; 4) Fourth, Limited Partners who did not make additional capital contributions would receive a repayment of one-third of their original capital contributions (i.e., one-third of $1,200,000); if sufficient funds were unavailable to fully satisfy this amount then a pro-rata portion would be paid based upon available funds. Additionally, the Plan required CRPTEX, Inc. to make a capital contribution of $14,500 and loan an additional $117,500 on behalf of the Partnership. The Partnership received the $14,500 capital contribution but did not receive or require the additional $117,500 to be loaned. The payments required by number 2 above were timely made. With respect to the amounts due to the Limited Partners under numbers 1, 3, and 4 above, there were not sufficient funds available to completely satisfy these obligations at October 20, 1998. It was not anticipated that at October 20, 1998, there would be available funds to fully satisfy the unsecured claims of the Limited Partners, as indicated under the Plan. The limited partners were approached in August 1998 and asked to either approve a sale of the Partnership's sole investment property or for the General Partner to petition the Bankruptcy Court for an extension of the settlement date. The required fifty-one percent response was not received. As a result, the Partnership did not make any payments to the Limited Partners on October 20, 1998, as required by the Plan from available funds. There is no requirement, however, that the Partnership sell or again refinance the property in order to pay in part or in whole, the payments to the Limited Partners referred to above. The General Partner has determined that although all of the required payments due under the Plan to the Limited Partners were not made, that the Partnership is not in any material financial default in connection with its prior bankruptcy. In addition, the General Partner believes that it is proper for the Partnership to continue operating under the terms of its Partnership Agreement as modified by the Plan. Since the expiration of the Plan on October 20, 1998, the General Partner had reserved all excess cash to ensure that the Partnership would be able to meet its operating and capital improvement needs rather than making pro-rata payments to the limited partners in accordance with numbers 1, 3, and 4 above. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the General Partner determined that the Partnership had accumulated approximately $562,000 in excess funds. Approximately $530,000, which had been reserved since 1998 to ensure that the property was fully able to meet its operating and capital improvement needs with existing operating funds, was distributed during the year ended December 31, 2002 in accordance with number 1 above. In addition, approximately $32,000 was distributed from operations during the year ended December 31, 2002. Any additional funds will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement as modified by the Plan. Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and for reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. Affiliates of the General Partner are entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership's investment property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $53,000 and $51,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which are included in operating expenses. Affiliates of the General Partner were eligible to receive reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $58,000 and $45,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses. Approximately $140,000 in reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses and related accrued interest was owed at September 30, 2004 and is included in due to affiliates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $120,000 to fund operating expenses and audit fees. This advance accrues interest at the prime rate plus 2% (6.75% at September 30, 2004). Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was approximately $3,000. At September 30, 2004, the total outstanding advances and accrued interest was approximately $123,000 and is included in due to affiliates. There were no such advances made by the General Partner to the Partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. 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 and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $26,000 and $23,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Note D - Casualty Event In October 2002, a fire occurred at Lakewood at Pelham, which resulted in damage to the laundry area. The property incurred damages of approximately $52,000. Insurance proceeds of approximately $26,000 were received during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to partially cover the damages. After writing off the undepreciated cost of the damaged asset of approximately $11,000, the Partnership realized a casualty gain of approximately $15,000 from this event during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Partnership received additional proceeds of approximately $16,000, resulting in a casualty gain of approximately $16,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Note E - Contingencies On August 8, 2003 AIMCO Properties L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, was served with a complaint in the United States District Court, District of Columbia alleging that AIMCO Properties L.P. willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. On March 5, 2004 the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint also naming NHP Management Company, which is also an affiliate of the General Partner. The complaint is styled as a Collective Action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in responding to a call while "on-call". The defendants have filed an answer to the amended complaint denying the substantive allegations. Some discovery has taken place and settlement negotiations continue. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations. 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. As previously disclosed, the Central Regional Office of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") is conducting a formal investigation relating to certain matters. Although the staff of the SEC is not limited in the areas that it may investigate, AIMCO believes the areas of investigation include AIMCO's miscalculated monthly net rental income figures in third quarter 2003, forecasted guidance, accounts payable, rent concessions, vendor rebates, capitalization of payroll and certain other costs, and tax credit transactions. AIMCO is cooperating fully. AIMCO is not able to predict when the matter will be resolved. AIMCO does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Registrant and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Registrant operates; financing risks, including the risk that cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting and defending claims and any adverse outcomes, and possible environmental liabilities. Readers should carefully review the Registrant's financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the documents the Registrant 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 nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003: Average Occupancy Property 2004 2003 Lakewood at Pelham 93% 89% Greenville, South Carolina The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Lakewood at Pelham to resident retention efforts and new marketing strategies. 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 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 General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions; accordingly, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively affect the Partnership's financial results. Results of Operations The Partnership's net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 was approximately $69,000 and $195,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $64,000 and $128,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2004 is due to a decrease in total revenues, partially offset by a decrease in total expenses. The increase in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is due to an increase in total expenses, partially offset by an increase in total revenues. The decrease in total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004 is due to a decrease in rental income, partially offset by an increase in other income. The increase in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is due to increases in both rental and other income. The decrease in rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 is primarily due to decreases in occupancy and the average rental rate at Lakewood at Pelham. The increase in rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is primarily due to an increase in occupancy, partially offset by a decrease in the average rental rate at the property. The increase in other income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 is primarily due to increases in utility reimbursements and laundry income, partially offset by a decrease in late charges at the property. The decrease in total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2004 is due to a decrease in operating expenses. General and administrative, depreciation, interest, and property tax expenses remained relatively constant for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2004 is primarily due to a decrease in contract maintenance expense, partially offset by an increase in payroll related expenses at Lakewood at Pelham. The increase in total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is due to increases in operating, general and administrative, and property tax expenses. Both depreciation and interest expense remained relatively constant for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is primarily due to an increase in payroll related expenses at the Partnership's investment property. The increase in property tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is due to an increase in the tax rate at the property. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is primarily due to an increase in management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement, partially offset by a decrease in professional expenses associated with the administration of the Partnership. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are costs associated with quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement. In October 2002, a fire occurred at Lakewood at Pelham, which resulted in damage to the laundry area. The property incurred damages of approximately $52,000. Insurance proceeds of approximately $26,000 were received during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to partially cover the damages. After writing off the undepreciated cost of the damaged asset of approximately $11,000, the Partnership realized a casualty gain of approximately $15,000 from this event during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Partnership received additional proceeds of approximately $16,000, resulting in a casualty gain of approximately $16,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Liquidity and Capital Resources At both September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $108,000. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $24,000, from December 31, 2003, is due to approximately $92,000 of cash used in investing activities, partially offset by approximately $50,000 of cash provided by financing activities and approximately $18,000 of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements and net deposits to an escrow account maintained by the mortgage lender, partially offset by insurance proceeds received. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances from an affiliate of the General Partner, partially offset by payments of principal made on the mortgage encumbering the Partnership's investment property. 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 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 General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional compliance measures with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these changes, the Partnership expects that it will incur higher expenses related to compliance, including increased legal and audit fees. Capital improvements planned at the Partnership's investment property are detailed below. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Partnership completed approximately $73,000 of capital improvements at Lakewood at Pelham, consisting primarily of appliance and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operations and insurance proceeds. The Partnership evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property during the year and currently expects to complete an additional $78,000 in capital improvements during the remainder of 2004. Additional capital improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as the anticipated cash flow generated by the property and replacement reserves. The additional capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or from Partnership reserves. To the extent that such budgeted capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Lakewood at Pelham of approximately $5,226,000 is being amortized over 30 years with a balloon payment of approximately $5,151,000 due July 2005. The General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the property prior to such maturity date. If the property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure. On March 9, 1987, the original general partners of the Partnership, on behalf of the Partnership, filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California ("Court"). The Partnership continued as Debtor-In-Possession to operate its business in the ordinary course until the Court confirmed the Partnership's Plan of Reorganization (The "Plan") effective October 25, 1988. The Plan was approved by all required classes of creditors. The Plan required that the Partnership make certain payments to its secured creditors and others on or before October 20, 1995. These payments were made on or about June 25, 1995, when the Partnership refinanced the outstanding mortgages encumbering the property. The Plan also required that the Partnership make the following distributions on October 20, 1998, from available cash: 1) First, Limited Partners, both original and substitute, who made additional capital contributions under the plan would receive a repayment of the additional contributions totaling approximately $730,000; if sufficient funds were unavailable to fully satisfy this amount then a pro-rata portion would be paid based upon available funds; 2) Second, Class 12 unsecured creditors ($23,100) would be paid on their claims; 3) Third, Limited Partners who made additional capital contributions and were original Limited Partners would receive a repayment of their original capital contributions totaling approximately $9,818,000; if sufficient funds were unavailable to fully satisfy this amount then a pro-rata portion of available cash less a pro-rata portion reserved for one third of the existing capital contributions of non-contributing Limited Partners would be paid based upon available funds; 4) Fourth, Limited Partners who did not make additional capital contributions would receive a repayment of one-third of their original capital contributions (i.e., one-third of $1,200,000); if sufficient funds were unavailable to fully satisfy this amount then a pro-rata portion would be paid based upon available funds. Additionally, the Plan required CRPTEX, Inc. to make a capital contribution of $14,500 and loan an additional $117,500 on behalf of the Partnership. The Partnership received the $14,500 capital contribution but did not receive or require the additional $117,500 to be loaned. The payments required by number 2 above were timely made. With respect to the amounts due to the Limited Partners under numbers 1, 3, and 4 above, there were not sufficient funds available to completely satisfy these obligations at October 20, 1998. It was not anticipated that at October 20, 1998, there would be available funds to fully satisfy the unsecured claims of the Limited Partners, as indicated under the Plan. The limited partners were approached in August 1998 and asked to either approve a sale of the Partnership's sole investment property or for the General Partner to petition the Bankruptcy Court for an extension of the settlement date. The required fifty-one percent response was not received. As a result, the Partnership did not make any payments to the Limited Partners on October 20, 1998, as required by the Plan from available funds. There is no requirement, however, that the Partnership sell or again refinance the property in order to pay in part or in whole, the payments to the Limited Partners referred to above. The General Partner has determined that although all of the required payments due under the Plan to the Limited Partners were not made, that the Partnership is not in any material financial default in connection with its prior bankruptcy. In addition, the General Partner believes that it is proper for the Partnership to continue operating under the terms of its Partnership Agreement as modified by the Plan. Since the expiration of the Plan on October 20, 1998, the General Partner had reserved all excess cash to ensure that the Partnership would be able to meet its operating and capital improvement needs rather than making pro-rata payments to the limited partners in accordance with numbers 1, 3, and 4 above. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the General Partner determined that the Partnership had accumulated approximately $562,000 in excess funds. Approximately $530,000 which had been reserved since 1998 to ensure that the property was fully able to meet its operating and capital improvement needs with existing operating funds, was distributed during the year ended December 31, 2002 in accordance with number 1 above. In addition, approximately $32,000 was distributed from operations during the year ended December 31, 2002. Any additional funds will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement as modified by the Plan. Other In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 4,558.50 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 26.55% of the outstanding Units at September 30, 2004. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO, as its sole stockholder. 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 The Partnership's investment property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless considered impaired. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may be impaired, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the property. Real property investments are 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, changes in the national, regional and local economic climate; local conditions, such as an oversupply of multifamily properties; competition from other available multifamily property owners and changes in market rental rates. Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Partnership's asset. Revenue Recognition The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. Rental income attributable to leases is recognized monthly as it is earned. The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Any concessions given at the inception of the lease are amortized over the life of the lease. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Partnership's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures (as 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 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) 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 On August 8, 2003 AIMCO Properties L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, was served with a complaint in the United States District Court, District of Columbia alleging that AIMCO Properties L.P. willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. On March 5, 2004 the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint also naming NHP Management Company, which is also an affiliate of the General Partner. The complaint is styled as a Collective Action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in responding to a call while "on-call". The defendants have filed an answer to the amended complaint denying the substantive allegations. Some discovery has taken place and settlement negotiations continue. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 6.
