MULTI-BENEFIT REALTY FUND '87-1 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note A - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Multi-Benefit Realty Fund '87-1 (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ConCap Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The General Partner is an affiliate of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. Limited Partnership Units The Partnership has issued two classes of Units of Depositary Receipts ("Units"), "A" Units and "B" Units. The two classes of Units are entitled to different rights and priorities as to cash distributions and Partnership allocations. The Units represent economic rights attributable to the limited partnership interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders thereof ("Unit holders") to participate in certain allocations and distributions of the Partnership. 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) 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 the Partnership's property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $35,000 for both the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 which is included in operating expenses. Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $49,000 and $29,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses and investment property. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment property for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are fees related to construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $22,000. There were no such fees for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The construction management service fees are calculated based on a percentage of additions to investment property. At June 30, 2005, approximately $55,000 of reimbursements for services was accrued by the Partnership and is included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Partnership Agreement provides for a fee equal to 9% of distributable cash from operations (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) received by the limited partners to be paid to the General Partner for executive and administrative management services. There were no such fees earned for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, an affiliate of the General Partner loaned the Partnership approximately $92,000 during the fourth quarter of 2004 to fund capital projects and accounts payable and $105,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 to fund accounts payable at the Partnership's sole property. Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 2% (8.25% at June 30, 2005). Interest expense was approximately $5,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005, approximately $203,000 including accrued interest was outstanding and is included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Partnership insures its property up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $21,000 and $20,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Note C - Property Taxes During 2003, the state of Indiana implemented a reassessment of property values. During 2004, the Partnership successfully appealed the reassessed property tax value of Hunt Club Apartments. In the state of Indiana property tax bills are paid one year in arrears. Thus, the 2003 property tax bills were received and paid in 2004. As a result of the Partnership's successful appeal of the reassessed property value an adjustment of approximately $16,000 related to 2002 taxes and $48,000 related to 2003 taxes was recorded during the third and fourth quarters of 2004. The appeal resulted in a lower assessed value which resulted in a refund of 2002 taxes paid in 2003, a refund for 2003 taxes paid in 2004 and a reduction in the accrual for 2004 taxes to be paid in 2005. Note D - Casualty Gain During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, a net casualty gain of approximately $26,000 was recorded at Hunt Club Apartments. The casualty gain related to a fire, occurring in March 2005, which caused damage to three units at the property. The gain was the results of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $32,000 offset by approximately $6,000 of undepreciated property improvements and replacements being written off. Note E - 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". With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. On April 26, 2005, the Court of Appeals lifted the stay of a pending appeal related to the Heller action and the trial court's order striking the complaint. On April 28, 2005, the Objector filed a Petition for Review with the California Supreme Court in connection with the opinion vacating the order approving settlement and remanding for further findings. On June 10, 2005, the California Supreme Court denied Objector's Petition for Review and the Court of Appeals sent the matter back to the trial court on June 21, 2005. The parties intend to ask the trial court to make further findings in connection with settlement consistent with the Court of Appeal's remand order. 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. 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. As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. The complaint attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclass in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week. On June 23, 2005 the Court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues. The Court ruling allows plaintiffs to provide notice of the collective action to all non-exempt maintenance workers from August 7, 2000 through the present. Those employees will have the opportunity to opt-in to the collective action. Defendants have asked the Court to reconsider its ruling or in the alternative certify the ruling for appeal on that issue. After the notice goes out, defendants will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action. The Court further denied plaintiffs' Motion for Certification of the state subclasses. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment property that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business. Environmental Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. 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 property, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property. Mold The Partnership is aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. The Partnership has only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. Affiliates of the General Partner have implemented a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from its properties and the General Partner believes that these measures will minimize the effects that mold could have on residents. To date, the Partnership has not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change the General Partner can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. SEC Investigation The Central Regional Office of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") continues its formal investigation relating to certain matters. Although the staff of the SEC is not limited in the areas that it may investigate, AIMCO believes the areas of investigation have included AIMCO's miscalculated monthly net rental income figures in third quarter 2003, forecasted guidance, accounts payable, rent concessions, vendor rebates, capitalization of payroll and certain other costs, tax credit transactions, and tender offers for limited partnership interests. AIMCO is not able to predict when the investigation will be resolved. AIMCO does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Registrant and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Registrant operates; financing risks, including the risk that cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting and defending claims and any adverse outcomes, and possible environmental liabilities. Readers should carefully review the Registrant's financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the documents the Registrant files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership's investment property consists of one apartment complex. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the property for each of the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004: Average Occupancy Property 2005 2004 Hunt Club Apartments 94% 89% Indianapolis, Indiana The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy to property management focusing on increasing occupancy through tenant retention and rental concessions. The Partnership's financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the Partnership's remaining investment property, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment property, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment property to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership, such as the local economic climate and weather, can adversely or positively affect the Partnership's financial results. Results of Operations The Partnership had a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 of approximately $45,000 and $181,000, respectively, as compared to a net loss of approximately $149,000 and $230,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The decrease in net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was due to an increase in total revenues and a decrease in total expenses. The decrease in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was mainly due to an increase in total revenues and a slight decrease in total expenses. The increase in total revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was due to an increase in rental income and casualty gain partially offset by a decrease in other income. Rental income increased due to an increase in occupancy, an increase in the average rental rate at Hunt Club Apartments and a decrease in bad debt expense. Other income decreased primarily due to a decrease in late charges, lease cancellation fees and utilities reimbursements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Partnership recorded a net casualty gain of approximately $26,000 at Hunt Club Apartments. The casualty gain related to a fire, occurring in March 2005, which caused damage to three units at the property. The gain was the result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $32,000 offset by approximately $6,000 of undepreciated property improvements and replacements being written off. Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 decreased due to decreases in operating and property tax expense. General and administrative, depreciation and interest expense remained relatively constant for the comparable three month period. Operating expense decreased due to a decrease in maintenance expense partially offset by an increase in property expense. Maintenance expense decreased due to a decrease in repairs and contract services. Property expense increased due to increases in utility costs and salaries and related benefits. Property tax expense decreased as a result of the Partnership's successful appeal of the reassessed property value as discussed below. Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased due to decreases in general and administrative and property tax expenses partially offset by an increase in operating expense. Depreciation and interest expense remained relatively constant for the comparable six month periods. Property tax expense decreased due to the successful appeal of the reassessed value of Hunt Club Apartments by the local taxing authorities. During 2003, the state of Indiana implemented a reassessment of property tax value of Hunt Club Apartments. In the state of Indiana, property tax bills are paid one year in arrears. Thus, the 2003 property tax bills are received and paid in 2004. As a result of the Partnership's successful appeal of the reassessed property value an adjustment of approximately $16,000 related to 2002 taxes and $48,000 related to 2003 taxes was recorded during the third and fourth quarters of 2004. The appeal resulted in a lower value which resulted in a refund for 2002 taxes paid in 2003, a refund for 2003 taxes paid in 2004 and a reduction in the accrual for 2004 taxes to be paid in 2005. Operating expense increased due to an increase in property expense partially offset by a decrease in maintenance expense as discussed above. General and administrative expenses decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2005 due to a decrease in accountable reimbursements charged by an affiliate of the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement and a decrease in audit fees. Also included in general and administrative expenses 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 June 30, 2005, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $26,000 as compared to approximately $162,000 at June 30, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $10,000 from December 31, 2004 due to approximately $49,000 and $33,000 of cash provided by financing and operating activities offset by approximately $72,000 of cash used in investing activities. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances from an affiliate partially offset by principal payments made on the mortgage encumbering the Partnership's property. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements partially offset by insurance proceeds received. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts. The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional compliance measures with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these changes, the Partnership expects that it will incur higher expenses related to compliance. Capital improvements planned for the Partnership's property are detailed below. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Partnership completed approximately $192,000 of capital improvements at Hunt Club Apartments, consisting primarily of appliances and floor covering replacements, parking lot and structural improvements, building improvements and balcony replacements. 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 expenditures are anticipated during the remainder of 2005. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as the anticipated cash flow generated by the property. The additional capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or from Partnership reserves. To the extent that such capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be affected at least in the short term. The Partnership's assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Hunt Club Apartments of approximately $3,445,000 is amortized over 20 years and matures September 1, 2020 at which time the loan is scheduled to be fully amortized. There were no distributions made during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, the timing of the debt maturity, property sale and/or refinancing. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. There can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after required capital improvements to permit distributions to its partners in 2005 or subsequent periods. Other In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 63,163 "A" and 40,151 "B" Units of Depository Receipts ("Units") in the Partnership representing 65.60% and 53.43% of the outstanding "A" and "B" Units, respectively, at June 30, 2005. 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 65.60% and 53.43% of the outstanding "A" and "B" Units, respectively, 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 The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Investment property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless considered impaired. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may be impaired, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the property. Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership's investment property. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the national, regional and local economic climate; local conditions, such as an oversupply of multifamily properties; competition from other available multifamily property owners and changes in market rental rates. Any adverse changes in these factors could cause an impairment of the Partnership's asset. Revenue Recognition The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Partnership's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. (b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 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". With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. On April 26, 2005, the Court of Appeals lifted the stay of a pending appeal related to the Heller action and the trial court's order striking the complaint. On April 28, 2005, the Objector filed a Petition for Review with the California Supreme Court in connection with the opinion vacating the order approving settlement and remanding for further findings. On June 10, 2005, the California Supreme Court denied Objector's Petition for Review and the Court of Appeals sent the matter back to the trial court on June 21, 2005. The parties intend to ask the trial court to make further findings in connection with settlement consistent with the Court of Appeal's remand order. With respect to the related Heller appeal, on July 28, 2005, the Court of Appeal reversed the trial court's order striking the first amended complaint. 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. As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. The complaint attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week. On June 23, 2005 the Court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues. The Court ruling allows plaintiffs to provide notice of the collective action to all non-exempt maintenance workers from August 7, 2000 through the present. Those employees will have the opportunity to opt-in to the collective action. Defendants have asked the Court to reconsider its ruling or in the alternative certify the ruling for appeal on that issue. After the notice goes out, defendants will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action. The Court further denied plaintiffs' Motion for Certification of the state subclass. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 5.
