PART I


Item 1.

Description of Business


Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3 (the "Registrant" or "Partnership") was organized on May 23, 1984, as a limited partnership under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act. Commencing July 23, 1985, the Partnership offered 800,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interests (the "Units") at a purchase price of $250 per Unit pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Units represent equity interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders thereof to participate in certain allocations and distributions of the Partnership. The sale of Units terminated on May 15, 1987, with 383,033 Units sold for an aggregate of approximately $95,758,000. Since its initial offering, the Partnership has not received, nor are limited partners required to make, additional capital contributions.


The general partner of the Partnership is ConCap Equities, Inc. ("CEI" or the "General Partner"), a Delaware corporation.  The General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2015 unless terminated prior to such date.


The Partnership is engaged in the business of operating and holding real estate properties for investment. The Partnership was formed for the benefit of its Limited Partners (herein so called and together with the General Partner shall be called the "Partners") to lend funds to ConCap Equity Partners/3, ConCap Equity Partners/4, and ConCap Equity Partners/5 ("EP/3", "EP/4" and "EP/5", respectively). EP/3, EP/4 and EP/5 represent California limited partnerships in which certain of the partners were former shareholders and former management of Consolidated Capital Equities Corporation ("CCEC"), the former corporate general partner of the Partnership.


Through December 31, 1994, the Partnership had made twelve specific loans against a Master Loan agreement and advanced a total of $67,300,000 (the "Master Loan"). EP/3 used $17,300,000 of the loaned funds to purchase two apartment complexes and one office building. EP/4 used $34,700,000 of the loaned funds to purchase four apartment complexes and one office building, which was subsequently sold in 1989. EP/5 used $15,300,000 of the loaned funds to purchase two apartment complexes and two office buildings. Through a series of transactions, the Partnership has acquired all of EP/3, EP/4 and EP/5's properties in full settlement of their liability under the Master Loan. For a brief description of the properties owned by the Partnership refer to "Item 2. Description of Properties".


Upon the Partnership's formation in 1984, CCEC, a Colorado corporation, was the corporate general partner. In 1988, through a series of transactions, Southmark Corporation ("Southmark") acquired controlling interest in CCEC.  In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In 1990, as part of CCEC's reorganization plan, CEI acquired CCEC's general partner interests in the Partnership and in 15 other affiliated public limited partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships") and CEI replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16 partnerships.  The selection of CEI as the sole managing general partner was approved by a majority of the limited partners in the Partnership and in each of the Affiliated Partnerships pursuant to a solicitation of the Limited Partners dated August 10, 1990.  As part of this solicitation, the Limited Partners also approved an amendment to the Partnership Agreement to limit changes of control of the Partnership. As of December 31, 2007, AIMCO IPLP, L.P. an affiliate of AIMCO, owned 100% of the outstanding stock of CEI.


At December 31, 2007, the Partnership owned six apartment complexes located in Florida, North Carolina, Washington, Utah and Colorado.


The Partnership has no employees. Management and administrative services are provided by the General Partner and by agents retained by the General Partner. An affiliate of the General Partner provides such property management services at the Partnership’s properties.  


Risk Factors

The risk factors noted in this section and other factors noted throughout this Report describe certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the Partnership’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.


Failure to generate sufficient net operating income may limit the Partnership’s ability to repay advances from affiliates.

 

The Partnership’s ability to repay advances from affiliates depends on its ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments and capital expenditure requirements. Net operating income may be adversely affected by events or conditions beyond the Partnership’s control, including:


·

the 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 multifamily housing; and

·

changes in interest rates and the availability of financing.


Redevelopment and construction risks could affect the Partnership’s profitability.

 

Two of the Partnership’s properties, Cedar Rim Apartments and Sienna Bay Apartments, are currently under redevelopment.  These activities are subject to the following risks:


·

the Partnership may be unable to obtain, or experience delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, occupancy, or other required governmental or third party permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs or the delay or abandonment of opportunities;


·

the Partnership may incur costs that exceed its original estimates due to increased material, labor or other costs;


·

the Partnership may be unable to complete construction and lease up of a property on schedule, resulting in increased construction and financing costs and a decrease in expected rental revenues;


·

occupancy rates and rents at a property may fail to meet the Partnership’s  expectations for a number of reasons, including changes in market and economic conditions beyond the Partnership’s control and the development by competitors of competing communities;


·

the Partnership may abandon opportunities that it has already begun to explore for a number of reasons, including changes in local market conditions or increases in construction or financing costs, and, as a result, it may fail to recover expenses already incurred in exploring those opportunities; and


·

the Partnership may incur liabilities to third parties during the redevelopment process, for example, in connection with resident terminations, or managing existing improvements on the site prior to resident terminations.


The Partnership’s existing and future debt financing could render it unable to operate, result in foreclosure on its properties or prevent it from making distributions on its equity.


The Partnership’s strategy is generally to incur debt to increase the return on its equity while maintaining acceptable interest coverage ratios. Payments of principal and interest may leave the Partnership with insufficient cash resources to operate its properties or pay distributions.  The Partnership is also subject to the risk that its cash flow from operations will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If the Partnership fails to make required payments of principal and interest on secured debt, its lenders could foreclose on the properties securing such debt, which would result in loss of income and asset value to the Partnership.


Competition could limit the Partnership’s ability to lease apartments or increase or maintain rents.


The Partnership’s apartment properties compete for residents with other housing alternatives, including other rental apartments, condominiums and single-family homes that are available for rent, as well as new and existing condominiums and single-family homes for sale. Competitive residential housing in such market area could adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to lease apartments and to increase or maintain rental rates.

 

Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in the Partnership’s incurrence of unanticipated expenses.


Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Likewise, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990, to be accessible to the handicapped. These and other Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to the Partnership’s properties, or restrict renovations of the properties. Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although the Partnership believes that its properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, the Partnership may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and the FHAA.


Potential liability or other expenditures associated with potential environmental contamination may be costly.


Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection 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 properties, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its properties.  


Moisture infiltration and resulting mold remediation may be costly.

 

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 General Partner have implemented policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the 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.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership incurred approximately $206,000 related to mold abatement conditions that occurred at Cedar Rim Apartments. The mold abatement is a direct result of extremely wet and rainy weather conditions which occurred during the redevelopment work to several buildings which required exterior walls and windows to be removed prior to replacement.  The Partnership anticipates that an additional $120,000 will be incurred during 2008 as a result of these mold conditions.  Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change the 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 financial condition or results of operations.


A further description of the Partnership's business is included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" included in "Item 6." of this Form 10-KSB.

On August 16, 2007, the Partnership sold Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments to a third party for a gross sales price of $4,100,000.  The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $3,992,000 after payment of closing costs of approximately $108,000.  The Partnership used approximately $2,379,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property.  The Partnership realized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $2,382,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of the sale.  In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $437,000 due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs and the payment of a prepayment penalty associated with the payment of the mortgage of approximately $351,000.  The loss on extinguishment of debt is included in loss from discontinued operations.


Subsequent to December 31, 2007, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of Park Capitol Apartments which is projected to close during the second quarter of 2008.

See "Item 7. Financial Statements – Note C" for information with respect to the Partnership's ability to prepay the loans and other specific details about the loans.


On August 31, 2007, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage in the principal amount of $4,200,000 on Lamplighter Park Apartments. The new second mortgage bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.93% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $25,000 beginning October 1, 2007 through the July 1, 2019 maturity date.  The second mortgage has a balloon payment of approximately $3,339,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year to July 1, 2020, during which period the second mortgage would bear interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and would require monthly payments of principal and interest. The Partnership may prepay the second mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing.  In connection with the new loan, loans costs of approximately $107,000 were capitalized and are included in other assets.


In connection with the second mortgage loan, the Partnership also agreed to certain modifications on the existing mortgage loan encumbering Lamplighter Park Apartments. The modification includes an interest rate of 7.48% per annum and monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $46,000, commencing October 1, 2007, through the maturity date of July 1, 2021, at which time a balloon payment of approximately $5,224,000 is due.  The previous terms were an interest rate of 7.48% per annum and monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $64,000 through the maturity date of July 1, 2021, at which date the mortgage was scheduled to be fully amortized. The Partnership may prepay the first mortgage loan at any time subject to a prepayment penalty.  As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the modified loan.

The General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at Cedar Rim Apartments to redevelopment at the property. At December 31, 2007, 56 units were unavailable for rent.


(2)

The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Williamsburg Manor Apartments to marketing efforts and improved customer service.


(3)

The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Sienna Bay Apartments to the substantial completion of redevelopment at the property.


As noted under "Item 1. Description of Business", the real estate industry is highly competitive. All of the Partnership's properties are subject to competition from other residential apartment complexes in the area. The General Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately insured. The properties are apartment complexes which lease units for terms of one year or less. No tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space. With the exception of the two properties currently in redevelopment (as discussed in “Capital Improvements” below), the properties are in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age.

Capital Improvements


Cedar Rim Apartments


During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership completed approximately $8,475,000 of capital improvements arising from the redevelopment of the property, which includes capitalization of construction period interest of approximately $579,000, construction period property taxes of approximately $83,000, and other construction period operating costs of approximately $53,000. Additional capital improvements of approximately $89,000 were completed and consisted primarily of floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from advances from an affiliate of the General Partner and operating cash flow.   The property is currently undergoing a redevelopment project in order to become more competitive with other properties in the area in an effort to increase net operating income at the property.  The redevelopment is expected to consist of site, building exterior, common area and unit interior improvements.  The planned site improvements consist of landscape enhancements and replacements, lighting upgrades, replacing pool area with a renovated sundeck area, construction of a maintenance shop and storage building and the addition of covered parking spaces.  The planned building exterior improvements consist of roof replacements, gutter improvements, foundation work, replacement of all exterior siding and balcony and stairwell improvements.  The planned common area improvements consist of the reconstruction of mail box kiosks.  The planned unit interior improvements consist of kitchen and bath upgrades, replacement of appliances, and other interior renovations. Approximately 56 units were in redevelopment and not in service at December 31, 2007.  Based upon current redevelopment plans, the General Partner anticipates the redevelopment to be completed during the second quarter of 2008 at a total estimated cost of approximately $14,813,000, of which approximately $2,406,000 was completed during the year ended December 31, 2006 in addition to the $8,475,000 completed during 2007 as mentioned above. The project is being funded by the Partnership’s operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner.  The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property.  The Partnership currently expects to spend an additional $3,932,000 for property redevelopment during 2008.  In addition, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2008.  Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.


Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments


During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership completed approximately $134,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering, roof, ceiling fan, and appliance replacements and air conditioning and heating upgrades. The improvements were funded from operating cash flow. This property was sold during August 2007.


Lamplighter Park Apartments


During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership completed approximately $360,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of repair of damages related to a roof leak, floor covering and appliance replacements, and structural improvements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and insurance proceeds. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.


Park Capitol Apartments


During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership completed approximately $834,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements, water heater upgrades, exterior painting and structural improvements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. 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 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.


Tamarac Village Apartments


During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership completed approximately $1,939,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering and appliance replacements, water heater and air conditioning upgrades, plumbing fixtures and roof replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and insurance proceeds. During 2006, the Partnership reevaluated the phased redevelopment project for kitchen and other interior upgrades and exterior painting and wood repairs that was in place at Tamarac Village Apartments in order to make the property more competitive in the local market and put the project on hold.  The General Partner has no current plans for redevelopment of the property. 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 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.


Williamsburg Manor Apartments


During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership completed approximately $218,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering and appliance replacements and air conditioning upgrades. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. 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 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership completed approximately $1,619,000 of capital improvements arising from the redevelopment of the property, which includes capitalization of construction period interest of approximately $13,000, construction period property taxes of approximately $11,000 and other construction period operating costs of approximately $3,000. Additional capital improvements of approximately $294,000 were completed and consisted primarily of floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. The property is undergoing a redevelopment project in order to become more competitive with other properties in the area in an effort to increase occupancy at the property.  The redevelopment is expected to consist of site, building exterior, common area and unit interior improvements.  The planned site improvements consist of paving, new signage, the addition of a picnic area and detached garages, landscaping and lighting improvements and repair of tennis courts. The planned building exterior improvements consist of new roofs, gutter improvements, replacement of siding, windows, doors, and addition of secured porches.  The planned common area improvements consist of upgrading the pool area, redecorating the clubhouse, refinishing laundry rooms, and fitness equipment additions.  The planned unit interior improvements consist of kitchen and bath upgrades, appliance replacements, and other interior renovations.  Based on current redevelopment plans, the General Partner anticipates the redevelopment to be completed during the first quarter of 2008 at a total cost of approximately $7,129,000. Approximately $5,156,000 was spent as part of this project during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The project is being funded by the Partnership’s operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. The Partnership currently expects to spend an additional $354,000 for property redevelopment during 2008. In addition, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.


Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership reserves or advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. 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.


Item 3.

Legal Proceedings


In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 28, 2002, the trial court granted defendants motion to strike the complaint.  Plaintiffs took an appeal from this order.


On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action. On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal (the “Appeal”) seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On May 4, 2004, the Objector filed a second appeal challenging the court’s use of a referee and its order requiring Objector to pay those fees.


On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals.  With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals vacated the trial court’s order and remanded to the trial court for further findings on the basis that the “state of the record is insufficient to permit meaningful appellate review”.  The matter was transferred back to the trial court on June 21, 2005.  With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. With respect to the related Heller appeal, on July 28, 2005, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s order striking the first amended complaint.


On August 18, 2005, Objector and his counsel filed a motion to disqualify the trial court based on a peremptory challenge and filed a motion to disqualify for cause on October 17, 2005, both of which were ultimately denied and/or struck by the trial court.  On or about October 13, 2005 Objector filed a motion to intervene and on or about October 19, 2005 filed both a motion to take discovery relating to the adequacy of plaintiffs as derivative representatives and a motion to dissolve the anti-suit injunction in connection with settlement.  On November 14, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Motion For Further Findings pursuant to the remand ordered by the Court of Appeals. Defendants joined in that motion.  On February 3, 2006, the Court held a hearing on the various matters pending before it and ordered additional briefing from the parties and Objector. On June 30, 2006, the trial court entered an order confirming its approval of the class action settlement and entering judgment thereto after the Court of Appeals had remanded the matter for further findings.  The substantive terms of the settlement agreement remain unchanged.  The trial court also entered supplemental orders on July 1, 2006, denying Objector’s Motion to File a Complaint in Intervention, Objector’s Motion for Leave of Discovery and Objector’s Motion to Dissolve the Anti-Suit Injunction.  Notice of Entry of Judgment was served on July 10, 2006.


On August 31, 2006, the Objector filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court’s June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2006 orders. The matter was argued and submitted and the Court of Appeal issued an opinion on February 20, 2008 affirming the order approving the settlement and judgment entered thereto. On March 12, 2008, the Court of Appeal denied Appellant’s Petition for Re-Hearing.  Appellant has until April 1, 2008 to file a Petition for Review with the California Supreme Court.   


The General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership’s overall operations.


Item 4.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders


During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, no matter was submitted to a vote of the Unit holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.









PART II


Item 5.

Market for the Registrant's Equity and Related Partner Matters


The Partnership, a publicly held limited partnership, sold 383,033 limited partnership units (the "Units") aggregating approximately $95,758,000. The Partnership currently has 7,329 holders of record owning an aggregate of 383,001 Units. Affiliates of the General Partner owned 238,706.6 units or 62.33% at December 31, 2007. No public trading market has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future.


The Partnership made no distributions during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, and the timing of debt maturities, property sales and/or refinancings. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. Given the current redevelopment projects in progress at Sienna Bay Apartments and Cedar Rim Apartments, along with the amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the General Partner at December 31, 2007, it is not expected that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners for the foreseeable future. See "Item 2. Description of Properties – Capital Improvements" for information relating to anticipated capital expenditures at the properties.


In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 238,706.6 Units in the Partnership representing 62.33% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2007. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, 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. As a result of its ownership of 62.33% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. 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.


Item 6.

Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation


This item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report.


The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment properties, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment properties, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the 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 years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $1,004,000 and $2,164,000 respectively. The decrease in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 is largely due to the gain on sale of discontinued operations (as discussed below) and, to a lesser extent, an increase in total revenues, partially offset by an increase in total expenses, a decrease in casualty gains, and an increase in loss from discontinued operations.


In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 has been restated to reflect the operations of Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments as discontinued operations as result of the sale of the property during 2007.  The operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 of this property are included in loss from discontinued operations.


On August 16, 2007, the Partnership sold Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments to a third party for a gross sales price of $4,100,000.  The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $3,992,000 after payment of closing costs of approximately $108,000.  The Partnership used approximately $2,379,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property.  The Partnership realized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $2,382,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of the sale.  In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $437,000 due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs and the payment of a prepayment penalty associated with the payment of the mortgage of approximately $351,000.  The loss on extinguishment of debt is included in loss from discontinued operations.  In accordance with SFAS No. 144 the operations of Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments, loss of approximately $512,000 and $289,000 including revenues of approximately $653,000 and $960,000, have been classified as loss from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.


During February 2007, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments, sustained water damage from a pipe break of approximately $35,000. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership received approximately $26,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain of approximately $22,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $4,000, which is included in loss from discontinued operations.


The Partnership recognized loss from continuing operations of approximately $2,874,000 and $1,875,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. The increase in loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 is due to an increase in total expenses, partially offset by an increase in total revenues. The recognition of casualty gains decreased for the year ended December 31, 2007.


Total revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to an increase in rental income, partially offset by a decrease in other income. Rental income increased due to increases in occupancy at Williamsburg Manor, Sienna Bay, Tamarac Village, and Lamplighter Park Apartments and an increase in the average rental rate at all of the properties, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy at Cedar Rim Apartments. Other income decreased due to a decrease in interest income and decreases in tenant utility reimbursements at Cedar Rim Apartments.


During January 2007, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Tamarac Village Apartments, sustained damage from a pipe break of approximately $27,000.


During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership received approximately $17,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain of approximately $11,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $6,000.


During September 2007, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Williamsburg Manor Apartments, sustained fire damage. The preliminary estimate of the cost to repair the damaged unit is approximately $57,000. The General Partner anticipates that the insurance proceeds to be received will be sufficient to cover estimated repairs and no casualty loss will result from this event. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership received approximately $25,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain of approximately $8,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $17,000.


During December 2007, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Lamplighter Park Apartments, sustained flood damage to several of its apartment units.  The estimated cost of the damages is approximately $109,000 and the General Partner anticipates that the insurance proceeds to be received will be sufficient to cover the damages and no casualty loss will result from this event.


During December 2006, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Tamarac Village Apartments, incurred damage from a roof leak of approximately $35,000. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership received approximately $25,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain of approximately $19,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $6,000. In addition, the Partnership received approximately $6,000 for lost rents associated with the casualty event, which is included in rental income.


During December 2006, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Lamplighter Park Apartments, sustained storm damage. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership received approximately $28,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain of approximately $21,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $7,000. In addition, the Partnership received approximately $2,000 for lost rents associated with the casualty event, which is included in rental income.


During February 2006, one of the Partnership’s properties, Tamarac Village Apartments, incurred damage from a pipe break. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $93,000 and wrote off undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $23,000 resulting in a casualty gain of approximately $70,000.


During September 2005, one of the Partnership’s properties, Lamplighter Park Apartments, incurred damage from a roof leak. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $139,000 and wrote off undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $38,000 resulting in a casualty gain of approximately $101,000. In addition, the Partnership received approximately $14,000 for lost rents associated with the casualty event, which is included in rental income.


Total expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to increases in operating, general and administrative, depreciation and interest expenses, partially offset by a decrease in property tax expense.  Operating expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to increases in maintenance and insurance expenses partially offset by a decrease in administrative expenses.  Maintenance expense increased due to an increase in contract services at Williamsburg Manor and Sienna Bay Apartments, expenses associated with minor casualties at Williamsburg Manor, Sienna Bay, Tamarac Village and Lamplighter Park Apartments, mold remediation costs at Cedar Rim Apartments which were addressed as part of the redevelopment of the property and snow removal expense at Tamarac Village Apartments. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership incurred approximately $206,000 related to mold abatement conditions that occurred at Cedar Rim Apartments.  The mold abatement is a direct result of extremely wet and rainy weather conditions which occurred during the redevelopment work to several buildings which required exterior walls and windows to be removed prior to replacement.  The Partnership anticipates that an additional $120,000 will be incurred during 2008 as a result of these mold conditions. Insurance expense increased primarily due to an increase in insurance premiums for Sienna Bay Apartments and to a lesser extent increases at the other properties as well.  Administrative expense decreased primarily due to the recording of a liability during the year ended December 31, 2006 relating to the forfeiture of unclaimed property pursuant to applicable state and local laws at Tamarac Village Apartments.


Depreciation expense increased due to property improvements and replacements placed into service primarily at Cedar Rim and Sienna Bay Apartments over the past twelve months.  Interest expense increased as a result of an increase in interest on advances from affiliates of the General Partner, the addition of a second mortgage at Lamplighter Park Apartments, and a decrease in capitalized interest at Sienna Bay Apartments related to the redevelopment project in place, partially offset by principal payments on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership’s investment properties, which lowered the carrying balances of the mortgages, and an increase in capitalized interest at Cedar Rim Apartments related to the redevelopment project. Property tax expense decreased due to a successful tax appeal at Tamarac Village Apartments related to previous years taxes and an increase in capitalized property taxes at Cedar Rim Apartments.


General and administrative expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2007 primarily due to an increase in the cost of services included in the management reimbursements paid to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement and an increase in costs associated with the modification of the existing mortgage encumbering Lamplighter Park Apartments. Also included in general and administrative expenses for both of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 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 December 31, 2007 the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $224,000 compared to approximately $500,000 at December 31, 2006. Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $276,000 since December 31, 2006 due to approximately $9,388,000 of cash used in investing activities, partially offset by approximately $7,472,000 and $1,640,000 of cash provided by financing and operating activities, respectively. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments and the receipt of insurance proceeds. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of loan proceeds received as a result of the second mortgage obtained on Lamplighter Park Apartments and advances received from affiliates, partially offset by the repayment of the mortgage encumbering Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments, principal payments on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership’s properties, loan costs paid, prepayment penalty paid, and repayment of advances from affiliates. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.


On August 31, 2007, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage in the principal amount of $4,200,000 on Lamplighter Park Apartments. The new second mortgage bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.93% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $25,000 beginning October 1, 2007 through the July 1, 2019 maturity date.  The second mortgage has a balloon payment of approximately $3,339,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year to July 1, 2020, during which period the second mortgage would bear interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and would require monthly payments of principal and interest. The Partnership may prepay the second mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing.  In connection with the new loan, loan costs of approximately $107,000 were capitalized and are included in other assets.


In connection with the second mortgage loan, the Partnership also agreed to certain modifications on the existing mortgage loan encumbering Lamplighter Park Apartments. The modification includes an interest rate of 7.48% per annum and monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $46,000, commencing October 1, 2007, through the maturity date of July 1, 2021, at which time a balloon payment of approximately $5,224,000 is due.  The previous terms were an interest rate of 7.48% per annum and monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $64,000 through the maturity date of July 1, 2021, at which date the mortgage was scheduled to be fully amortized. The Partnership may prepay the first mortgage loan at any time subject to a prepayment penalty.  As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the modified loan.


The Partnership's assets are thought to be generally sufficient for near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements and redevelopment costs) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Partnership's properties of approximately $52,943,000 has maturity dates ranging from September 2012 to August 2021. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Tamarac Village and Cedar Rim Apartments of approximately $21,372,000 requires monthly payments until the loans mature between July 2021 and August 2021, respectively, at which time the loans are scheduled to be fully amortized. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Lamplighter Park, Williamsburg Manor, Sienna Bay, and Park Capitol Apartments of approximately $31,571,000 requires monthly payments until the loans mature between September 2012 and July 2021 and have balloon payments totaling approximately $27,287,000 due at maturity. The General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to such maturity dates. If the investment properties cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership may risk losing such properties through foreclosure.


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 properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the properties. The Partnership currently expects to budget approximately $3,332,000 for 2008 related to the redevelopment projects at Sienna Bay and Cedar Rim Apartments. While the Partnership has no other material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the properties as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the properties.


Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership reserves or advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. 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 made no distributions during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, and the timing of debt maturities, property sales and/or refinancings. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. Given the current redevelopment projects at Sienna Bay and Cedar Rim Apartments, along with the amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the General Partner at December 31, 2007, it is not expected that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners for the foreseeable future.


Other


In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 238,706.6 Units in the Partnership representing 62.33% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2007. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, 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. As a result of its ownership of 62.33% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. 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


A summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies is included in "Note A – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" which is included in the financial statements in "Item 7. Financial Statements". The General Partner believes that the consistent application of these policies enables the Partnership to provide readers of the financial statements with useful and reliable information about the Partnership’s operating results and financial condition. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Partnership’s accounting policies in many areas. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


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


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


Capitalized Costs Related to Redevelopment and Construction Projects


The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects. Costs including interest, property taxes and operating costs associated with redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 34 “Capitalization of Interest Costs” and SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.” Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital expenditure activities at the property level.  


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.

The Partners

Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3



We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3 as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3 as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


December 31, 2007


Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Organization: Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3 (the "Partnership" or the "Registrant"), a California limited partnership, was formed on May 23, 1984, to lend funds through non-recourse notes with participation interests (the "Master Loan"). The loans were made to, and the real properties that secure the Master Loan were purchased and owned by, ConCap Equity Partners/3, ConCap Equity Partners/4, and ConCap Equity Partners/5, ("EP/3", "EP/4", and "EP/5", respectively), California limited partnerships, in which certain of the partners were former shareholders and former management of Consolidated Capital Equities Corporation ("CCEC"). The Partnership entered into a Master Loan Agreement with EP/3, EP/4, and EP/5, pursuant to which the aggregate principal would not exceed the net amount raised by the Partnership's offering of approximately $96,000,000. Through a series of transactions, the Partnership has acquired all of EP/3, EP/4 and EP/5's properties in full settlement of their liability under the Master Loan.


Upon the Partnership's formation in 1984, CCEC, a Colorado corporation, was the corporate general partner. In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11"). In 1990, as part of CCEC's reorganization plan, ConCap Equities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "General Partner" or "CEI") acquired CCEC's general partner interests in the Partnership and in 15 other affiliated public limited partnerships and replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16 partnerships. The General Partner is an affiliate of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2015 unless terminated prior to such date.


The Partnership operates six apartment properties located throughout the United States.


Basis of Presentation: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 has been restated as of January 1, 2006 to reflect the operations of Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments as loss from discontinued operations due to its sale on August 31, 2007 (as discussed in “Note G”).


Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 balances to conform to the 2007 presentation.


Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits. Cash balances include approximately $87,000 at December 31, 2007 that is maintained by an affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in cash concentration accounts.


Tenant Security Deposits: The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease, and such deposits are included in receivables and deposits. The security deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged the space and is current on rental payments.


Investment Properties: Investment properties consist of six apartment complexes and are stated at cost.  The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects, other tangible property improvements and replacements of existing property components.  Costs including interest, property taxes and operating costs associated with redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 34, “Capitalization of Interest Costs” and SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.”  Costs incurred in connection with capital projects are capitalized where the costs of the project exceed $250.  Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital expenditure activities at the property level.  The Partnership capitalizes interest, property taxes and operating costs during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress.  During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership capitalized interest of approximately $617,000 and $135,000, property taxes of approximately $94,000 and $40,000, and operating costs of approximately $56,000 and $11,000.  Capitalized costs are depreciated over the useful life of the asset.  Expenditures for ordinary repairs, maintenance and apartment turnover costs are expensed as incurred.


In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.  No adjustments for impairment of value were necessary for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006.


Abandoned Units: During 2007 and 2006, the number of limited partnership units decreased by 7 and 21 units, respectively, due to limited partners abandoning their units. In abandoning his or her partnership units, a limited partner relinquishes all right, title and interest in the Partnership as of the date of the abandonment.


Depreciation: Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the apartment properties and related personal property. For Federal income tax purposes, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation of (1) real property over 27 ½ years and (2) personal property additions over 5 years.


Leases: 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.


Deferred Costs: At December 31, 2007, loan costs of approximately $1,388,000, less accumulated amortization of approximately $534,000 are included in other assets. The loan costs are amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements. Amortization expense was approximately $111,000 and $109,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and is included in interest expense and loss from discontinued operations. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $107,000 for 2008, $105,000 for 2009, $102,000 for 2010, $99,000 for 2011 and $87,000 for 2012.


Leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases.  Amortization of these costs is included in operating expenses.


Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss: The Partnership Agreement provides for net income and net losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes to be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments: SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", as amended by SFAS No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of 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 in the SFAS 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 amounts of its financial instruments (except for long term debt) approximate their fair values 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 long-term debt. The fair value of the Partnership's long term debt at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate is approximately $55,171,000.


Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Segment Reporting: SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. As defined in SFAS No. 131, the Partnership has only one reportable segment.


Advertising: The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expenses of approximately $345,000 and $334,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were charged to operating expense and loss from discontinued operations.


Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, such as the reporting entity’s own data. SFAS No. 157 requires fair value measurements to be disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are applicable to recurring fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Partnership is generally limited to annual disclosures required by SFAS No. 107.  The Partnership is in the process of implementing SFAS No. 157; however, it has not completed its evaluation and thus has not yet determined the effect that SFAS No. 157 will have on the Partnership’s financial statements.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008, and at that time did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial instruments or other items within the scope of SFAS No. 159.


In June 2007, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “AICPA”) issued Statement of Position No. 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” ("SOP 07-1").  SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether the accounting principles of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide “Investment Companies” are required to be applied to an entity by clarifying the definition of an investment company and, whether investment company accounting should be retained by a parent company upon consolidation of an investment company subsidiary, or by an investor in the application of the equity method of accounting to an investment company investee.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SOP 07-1-1 that indefinitely defers the effective date of SOP 07-1.


Note B – 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 (i) certain payments to affiliates for services and (ii) reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.


Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from all of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership was charged by such affiliates approximately $689,000 and $661,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in operating expense and loss from discontinued operations.


Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $1,109,000 and $718,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses, investment properties and gain on sale of discontinued operations.  The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties  and gain on sale of discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are redevelopment and construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $702,000 and $357,000, respectively. At December 31, 2007, approximately $92,000 of these reimbursements are payable to affiliates of the General Partner and are included in due to affiliates on the accompanying balance sheet.


During the year ended December 31, 2007, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $3,408,000 to cover expenses related to operations at each of the Partnership’s properties and approximately $7,546,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Sienna Bay Apartments and Cedar Rim Apartments and property improvements at Park Capitol Apartments, Williamsburg Manor Apartments and Lamplighter Park Apartments. During the year ended December 31, 2006 AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $745,000 to cover expenses related to operations at each of the Partnership’s properties and approximately $2,427,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Sienna Bay Apartments and Cedar Rim Apartments and property improvements at Park Capitol Apartments. Interest is charged at prime plus 2% (9.25% at December 31, 2007). Interest expense on outstanding advance balances was approximately $660,000 and $44,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total advances and accrued interest of approximately $10,926,000 remain unpaid and are owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P. at December 31, 2007 and are included in due to affiliates on the accompanying balance sheet. 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. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $662,000 to cover expenses related to operations at all of the Partnership’s properties and approximately $3,556,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Cedar Rim Apartments.


In connection with the addition of a second mortgage on Lamplighter Park Apartments in August 2007, the General Partner was entitled to a fee of 1% of the new debt obtained. Accordingly, approximately $42,000 was paid during the year ended December 31, 2007 (see “Note C – Mortgage Notes Payable”).


The Partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $359,000 and $294,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.


In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 238,706.6 the Units in the Partnership representing 62.33% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2007. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, 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. As a result of its ownership of 62.33% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. 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.

On August 31, 2007, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage in the principal amount of $4,200,000 on Lamplighter Park Apartments. The new second mortgage bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.93% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $25,000 beginning October 1, 2007 through the July 1, 2019 maturity date.  The second mortgage has a balloon payment of approximately $3,339,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year to July 1, 2020, during which period the second mortgage would bear interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and would require monthly payments of principal and interest. The Partnership may prepay the second mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing.  In connection with the new loan, loans costs of approximately $107,000 were capitalized and are included in other assets.


In connection with the second mortgage loan, the Partnership also agreed to certain modifications on the existing mortgage loan encumbering Lamplighter Park Apartments. The modification includes an interest rate of 7.48% per annum and monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $46,000, commencing October 1, 2007, through the maturity date of July 1, 2021, at which time a balloon payment of approximately $5,224,000 is due.  The previous terms were an interest rate of 7.48% per annum and monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $64,000 through the maturity date of July 1, 2021, at which date the mortgage was scheduled to be fully amortized. The Partnership may prepay the first mortgage loan at any time subject to a prepayment penalty.  As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the modified loan.


The mortgage notes payable are fixed rate mortgages that are non-recourse and are secured by a pledge of the Partnership’s rental properties and by a pledge of revenues from the respective rental properties. The mortgage notes payable include prepayment penalties if repaid prior to maturity. Further, the properties may not be sold subject to existing indebtedness.


Scheduled principal payments of mortgage notes payable subsequent to December 31, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

Based upon current redevelopment plans, the General Partner anticipates the Cedar Rim Apartments redevelopment to be completed during the second quarter of 2008 at a total estimated cost of approximately $14,813,000, of which approximately $2,406,000 was completed during the year ended December 31, 2006 and an additional $8,475,000 was completed during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note I – Contingencies


In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 28, 2002, the trial court granted defendants motion to strike the complaint.  Plaintiffs took an appeal from this order.


On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action. On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal (the “Appeal”) seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On May 4, 2004, the Objector filed a second appeal challenging the court’s use of a referee and its order requiring Objector to pay those fees.


On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals.  With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals vacated the trial court’s order and remanded to the trial court for further findings on the basis that the “state of the record is insufficient to permit meaningful appellate review”.  The matter was transferred back to the trial court on June 21, 2005.  With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. With respect to the related Heller appeal, on July 28, 2005, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s order striking the first amended complaint.


On August 18, 2005, Objector and his counsel filed a motion to disqualify the trial court based on a peremptory challenge and filed a motion to disqualify for cause on October 17, 2005, both of which were ultimately denied and/or struck by the trial court.  On or about October 13, 2005 Objector filed a motion to intervene and on or about October 19, 2005 filed both a motion to take discovery relating to the adequacy of plaintiffs as derivative representatives and a motion to dissolve the anti-suit injunction in connection with settlement.  On November 14, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Motion For Further Findings pursuant to the remand ordered by the Court of Appeals. Defendants joined in that motion.  On February 3, 2006, the Court held a hearing on the various matters pending before it and ordered additional briefing from the parties and Objector. On June 30, 2006, the trial court entered an order confirming its approval of the class action settlement and entering judgment thereto after the Court of Appeals had remanded the matter for further findings.  The substantive terms of the settlement agreement remain unchanged.  The trial court also entered supplemental orders on July 1, 2006, denying Objector’s Motion to File a Complaint in Intervention, Objector’s Motion for Leave of Discovery and Objector’s Motion to Dissolve the Anti-Suit Injunction.  Notice of Entry of Judgment was served on July 10, 2006.


On August 31, 2006, the Objector filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court’s June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2006 orders. The matter was argued and submitted and the Court of Appeal issued an opinion on February 20, 2008 affirming the order approving the settlement and judgment entered thereto. On March 12, 2008, the Court of Appeal denied Appellant’s Petition for Re-Hearing.  Appellant has until April 1, 2008 to file a Petition for Review with the California Supreme Court.


The General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership’s overall operations.


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


Environmental


Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of its properties, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its properties.  


Mold


The Partnership is aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements.  The Partnership has only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure.  Affiliates of the General Partner have implemented policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the 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.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership incurred approximately $206,000 related to mold abatement conditions that occurred at Cedar Rim Apartments. The mold abatement is a direct result of extremely wet and rainy weather conditions which occurred during the redevelopment work to several buildings which required exterior walls and windows to be removed prior to replacement.  The Partnership anticipates that an additional $120,000 will be incurred during 2008 as a result of these mold conditions.  Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change the 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 financial condition or results of operations.


Note J – Subsequent Event


Subsequent to December 31, 2007, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of Park Capitol Apartments which is projected to close during the second quarter of 2008.  The Partnership determined that certain criteria of SFAS No. 144 were not met at December 31, 2007 and therefore continues to report the assets and liabilities of the investment property as held for investment and its respective operations as continuing operations.

Item 8A.

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 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.  


Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


The Partnership’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, and effected by the Partnership’s management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:


·

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;


·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Partnership’s management; and


·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


The Partnership’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.  In making this assessment, the Partnership’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.


Based on their assessment, the Partnership’s management concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


(b)

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There have been no significant changes 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 fourth quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.


Item 8B.

Other Information


On March 27, 2008, AIMCO announced that Scott W. Fordham, Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of AIMCO and the General Partner, has announced his resignation.  Mr. Fordham has chosen to leave AIMCO to return to Texas to pursue an opportunity as chief accounting officer with an office REIT led by Tom August, the former CEO of Prentiss Properties Trust (“Prentiss”), with whom Mr. Fordham served as senior vice president and chief accounting officer prior to Prentiss’s 2006 merger with Brandywine Realty Trust.


Mr. Fordham will remain with AIMCO through the first quarter close in order to ensure an orderly transition.

Item 12.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence


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 (i) certain payments to affiliates for services and (ii) reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.


Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from all of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership was charged by such affiliates approximately $689,000 and $661,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in operating expense and loss from discontinued operations.


Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $1,109,000 and $718,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses, investment properties and gain on sale of discontinued operations.  The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties and gain on sale of discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are redevelopment and construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $702,000 and $357,000, respectively. At December 31, 2007, approximately $92,000 of these reimbursements are payable to affiliates of the General Partner.


During the year ended December 31, 2007, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $3,408,000 to cover expenses related to operations at each of the Partnership’s properties and approximately $7,546,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Sienna Bay Apartments and Cedar Rim Apartments and property improvements at Park Capitol Apartments, Williamsburg Manor Apartments and Lamplighter Park Apartments. During the year ended December 31, 2006 AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $745,000 to cover expenses related to operations at each of the Partnership’s properties and approximately $2,427,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Sienna Bay Apartments and Cedar Rim Apartments and property improvements at Park Capitol Apartments. Interest is charged at prime plus 2% (9.25% at December 31, 2007). Interest expense on outstanding advance balances was approximately $660,000 and $44,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total advances and accrued interest of approximately $10,926,000 remain unpaid and are owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P. at December 31, 2007 and are included in due to affiliates on the accompanying balance sheet. 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. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $662,000 to cover expenses related to operations at all of the Partnership’s properties and approximately $3,556,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Cedar Rim Apartments.


In connection with the addition of a second mortgage on Lamplighter Park Apartments in August 2007, the General Partner was entitled to a fee of 1% of the new debt obtained. Accordingly, approximately $42,000 was paid during the year ended December 31, 2007.


The Partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $359,000 and $294,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.


In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 238,706.6 the Units in the Partnership representing 62.33% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2007. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, 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. As a result of its ownership of 62.33% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. 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.


Neither of the General Partner's directors is independent under the independence standards established for New York Stock Exchange listed companies as both directors are employed by the parent of the General Partner.
