APARTMENT INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2005
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
     Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, engaged in the acquisition, ownership, management and redevelopment of apartment properties. As of September 30, 2005, we owned or managed a real estate portfolio of 1,424 apartment properties containing 251,250 apartment units located in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
     As of September 30, 2005, we:
    owned an equity interest in and consolidated 166,087 units in 651 properties (which we refer to as “consolidated”), of which 165,277 units were also managed by us;
 
    owned an equity interest in and did not consolidate 38,591 units in 286 properties (which we refer to as “unconsolidated”), of which 32,406 units were also managed by us; and
 
    provided services or managed, for third-party owners, 46,572 units in 487 properties, primarily pursuant to long-term agreements (including 41,439 units in 434 properties that are asset managed only, and not also property managed), although in certain cases we may indirectly own generally less than one percent of the operations of such properties through a partnership syndication or other fund.
     Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP, Inc., we own a majority of the ownership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P., which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2005, we held approximately a 90% interest in the common partnership units and equivalents of the Aimco Operating Partnership. We conduct substantially all of our business, and own substantially all of our assets, through the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are referred to as OP Units. OP Units include common OP Units, partnership preferred units, or preferred OP Units, and high performance partnership units, or High Performance Units. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s income is allocated to holders of common OP Units based on the weighted average number of common OP Units and equivalents outstanding during the period. The Aimco Operating Partnership records the issuance of common OP Units and the assets acquired in purchase transactions based on the market price of Aimco’s Class A Common Stock (which we refer to as Common Stock) at the date of execution of the purchase contract. The holders of the common OP Units receive distributions, prorated from the date of issuance, in an amount equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of Common Stock. Generally after a holding period of twelve months, holders of common OP Units may redeem such units for cash or, at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option, Common Stock.
     At September 30, 2005, 95,700,187 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding and the Aimco Operating Partnership had 10,367,386 common OP Units and equivalents outstanding for a combined total of 106,067,573 shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding (excluding preferred OP Units).
     Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and Aimco’s consolidated corporate subsidiaries and consolidated real estate partnerships, collectively.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.
     The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain 2004 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, consolidated corporate subsidiaries and consolidated real estate partnerships. As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and “partner” refers to a limited partner in a limited partnership or a member in a limited liability company. Interests held in consolidated real estate partnerships by limited partners other than us are reflected as minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The assets of consolidated real estate partnerships owned or controlled by Aimco or the Aimco Operating Partnership generally are not available to pay creditors of Aimco or the Aimco Operating Partnership.
     As a result of the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46, as of March 31, 2004, we consolidate all variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary.
Minority Interest in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships
     We reflect unaffiliated partners’ interests in consolidated real estate partnerships as minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships. Minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships represents the minority partners’ share of the underlying net assets of our consolidated real estate partnerships. When these consolidated real estate partnerships make cash distributions to partners in excess of the carrying amount of the minority interest, we generally record a charge equal to the amount of such excess distribution, even though there is no economic effect or cost. We report this charge in the consolidated statements of income as deficit distributions to minority partners. We allocate partnership losses to minority partners to the extent of the carrying amount of the minority interest. We generally record a charge when partnership losses exceed the carrying amount of the minority interest, even though there is no economic effect or cost. We report this charge in the consolidated statements of income within minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships. We do not record charges for distributions or losses in certain limited instances where the minority partner has a legal obligation and financial capacity to contribute additional capital to the partnership. We recorded charges for partnership losses resulting from depreciation of approximately $1.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and approximately $2.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, which were not allocated to minority partners because the losses exceeded the carrying amount of the minority interest.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     We test for the recoverability of real estate assets that do not currently meet all conditions to be classified as held for sale, but are expected to be disposed of prior to the end of their estimated useful lives. If an impairment charge is not

required to be recorded under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, or SFAS 144, the recognition of depreciation will be adjusted prospectively, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of the real estate to its estimated disposition value over the remaining period that the real estate is expected to be held and used. These depreciation adjustments decreased net income by $8.3 million and $25.8 million and resulted in a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.09 and $0.28 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, these depreciation adjustments decreased net income by $1.3 million and $2.7 million and resulted in a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.01 and $0.03, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
     Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or SFAS 123, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation–Transition and Disclosure–an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, or SFAS 148, and applied the prospective method set forth in SFAS 148 with respect to the transition. Under this method, we apply the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to all employee awards granted, modified, or settled on or after January 1, 2003, which has resulted in recognition of compensation expense related to stock options based on the fair value of the stock options. For stock options granted prior to January 1, 2003, we apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, or APB 25, and related interpretations. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of our employee stock options equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense related to such options has been recognized. We recognize compensation expense for stock options accounted for under SFAS 123 and restricted stock awards ratably over the period the awards vest. Compensation expense is reversed as forfeitures occur.
     For purposes of the pro forma disclosures below, the estimated fair values for all awards made prior to January 1, 2003 are amortized over the respective vesting period for each such option and are shown as expense as if SFAS 123 had been applied to all such awards. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if we had accounted for our employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under the fair value method.
     The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period presented. Our pro forma information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

earnings. As discussed in Note 11, we are required to change our method of accounting for stock-based compensation in 2006.
Note 3 — Acquisitions
Real Estate Acquisitions
     On February 28, 2005, we completed the acquisition of Palazzo East at Park La Brea, a mid-rise apartment community with 610 units, for approximately $199.3 million. Palazzo East at Park La Brea is the third of three phases to be completed as part of the Park La Brea development. In connection with the March 2002 acquisition of Casden Properties, Inc. (which we refer to as the Casden Transactions), we agreed to purchase all three phases of the Park La Brea development upon completion and attainment of 60% occupancy. The purchase of Palazzo East at Park La Brea, was funded with cash of approximately $86.8 million and a variable rate secured property note of $112.5 million.
     Additionally during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we completed the acquisition of four properties in New York City and one in New Jersey with a total of 396 residential units and six retail spaces for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $83.4 million, including transaction costs. The purchases were primarily funded with new debt of $17.8 million, assumption of existing debt of $38.7 million and the remainder in cash.
Acquisitions of Partnership Interests
     During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we completed 58 and 145 tender offers, respectively, to acquire limited partnership interests in various partnerships in which our affiliates served as general partner. In connection with such acquisitions in both consolidated and unconsolidated real estate partnerships, we paid approximately $4.4 million and $51.7 million, respectively, including transaction costs, primarily in cash. These amounts were approximately $7.7 million and $55.3 million, respectively, in excess of the minority interests’ book value in such limited partnerships, which excess we assigned primarily to real estate.
Note 4 — Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities
     In connection with the Insignia merger in 1998, we assumed the obligations under Trust Based Convertible Preferred Securities, which we refer to as TOPRS, with an aggregate liquidation amount of $149.5 million. Since 1998, approximately $134.5 million of the securities have been converted, resulting in $15.0 million that remained as of December 31, 2004, which also represented the redemption value. On January 11, 2005, we redeemed for cash all outstanding TOPRS for a total redemption price of $50 per security, or $15.0 million, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions through the redemption date.
Note 5 — Term Loans
     On June 16, 2005, we borrowed $100.0 million as an additional term loan and amended our Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions, which we refer to as the Credit Agreement. This amendment allowed the additional term loan to be made at an interest rate agreed to at the time of borrowing rather than at the interest rate applicable to the existing revolving and term loans. The additional $100.0 million term loan matures on November 2, 2009 and bears interest at a rate of either LIBOR plus 1.75% or a base rate (determined by reference to the federal funds rate or Bank of America’s prime rate) plus 0.25%. The proceeds from the additional term loan were used to repay outstanding revolving loans. The aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement is $850.0 million, comprised of $450.0 million of revolving loan commitments and $400.0 million in term loans. At September 30, 2005, the outstanding principal balance of the term loans was $400.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.67%.
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
In connection with the Casden Transactions, we made commitments to:
    invest up to $50 million for a 20% limited liability company interest in Casden Properties LLC. As of September 30, 2005, we had invested $44.8 million. Casden Properties LLC intends to pursue new development opportunities

      in Southern California and other markets. We have an option, but not an obligation, to purchase at completion all multifamily rental projects developed by Casden Properties LLC; and
 
    pay $2.5 million per quarter for five years (for an aggregate amount of $50 million) to Casden Properties LLC as a retainer on account for redevelopment services on our assets (as of September 30, 2005, $35.0 million has been paid).
Guarantees
     We provide certain guarantees in connection with our syndication of historic and affordable housing tax credits. We may be required to perform under these guarantees in certain instances where projected tax benefits are not realized by the investor. These guarantees have varying expiration dates ranging from less than one year and up to 15 years.
Legal Matters
     In addition to the matters described below, we are a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by liability insurance, and none of which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
     Limited Partnerships
     In connection with our acquisitions of interests in real estate partnerships, we are sometimes subject to legal actions, including allegations that such activities may involve breaches of fiduciary duties to the partners of such real estate partnerships or violations of the relevant partnership agreements. We may incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of such litigation. We believe that we comply with our fiduciary obligations and relevant partnership agreements. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not expect any such legal actions to have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
     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 properties, we could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our properties or properties we acquire or manage in the future.
     Mold
     We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits that have alleged personal injury and property damage as a result of the presence of mold. In addition, we are 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. We have only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. We have implemented a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from our properties and believe that our measures will minimize the effects that mold could have on our residents. To date, we have 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 we can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     Unclaimed Property and Use Taxes
     Based on inquiries from several states, we are reviewing our historic forfeiture of unclaimed property pursuant to applicable state and local laws. We are also reviewing our historic filing of use tax returns in certain state and local jurisdictions that impose such taxes. At this time, we do not have sufficient information available to determine the extent or potential effect of any non-compliance on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
     National Union Litigation
     National Program Services, Inc. and Vito Gruppuso (collectively “NPS”) were insurance agents who sold to us property insurance issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (“National Union”). The financial failure of NPS resulted in defaults under two agreements by which NPS indemnified us from losses relating to the matters described below. As a result of such defaults we had a $16.7 million insurance-related receivable that was subsequently reduced to $6.7 million following our settlement with Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company (“Lumbermens”) and an insurance agency. In addition, we have pending litigation against National Union, First Capital Group, a New York based insurance wholesaler, NPS and other agents of National Union, for a refund of at least $10 million of the prepaid premium plus other damages. Trial is set for May 30, 2006. The contingent liabilities arising from the NPS defaults also resulted in litigation against us by Cananwill, Inc. (“Cananwill”), a premium funding company, regarding an alleged balance due of $5.7 million on a premium finance agreement that funded premium payments made to National Union. We are also plaintiffs in litigation against Cananwill and Combined Specialty Insurance Company, formerly known as Virginia Surety Company, Inc., alleging Cananwill’s conversion of $1.6 million of unearned premium belonging to us and misapplication of such funds to the alleged debt asserted in the lawsuit initiated by Cananwill. The matter in which we are plaintiffs has been stayed by the court pending resolution of the action filed by Cananwill against us. The previously disclosed litigation brought by WestRM — West Risk Markets, Ltd. (“WestRM”) against XL Reinsurance America, Inc. (“XL”), Greenwich Insurance Company (“Greenwich”) and Lumbermens in which we have been made a third party defendant continues. Summary judgment has been entered against defendants XL and Greenwich. Similarly, the previously disclosed litigation brought by Highlands Insurance Company (“Highlands”) against Cananwill, XL, Greenwich and us also continues. In those cases in which we are a defendant, we believe that we have meritorious defenses to assert, and we will vigorously defend ourselves against claims brought against us. In addition, we will vigorously prosecute our own claims. Although the outcome of any claim or matter in litigation is uncertain, we do not believe that we will incur any material loss in connection with the insurance-related receivable or that the ultimate outcome of these separate but related matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
     FLSA Litigation
     The Aimco Operating Partnership and NHP Management Company (“NHPMN”), our subsidiary, 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, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, 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 the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be “on-call.” Additionally, the complaint alleges the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week. In June 2005, the court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues, which allows the 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, and the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action. Because the court denied the plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, on September 26, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County). Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on our 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, we believe the areas of investigation have included our miscalculated monthly net rental income figures in third quarter 2003, forecasted guidance, accounts payable, rent concessions, vendor rebates, capitalization of payroll and certain other costs and tax credit transactions. At the end of the first quarter 2005, the SEC added certain tender offers for limited partnership interests as an area of investigation. We are cooperating fully. We are not able to predict when the investigation will be resolved. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock
     On January 21, 2005, we redeemed for cash the remaining 1.25 million shares outstanding of the Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock for a total redemption price of $25.0425 per share, which included a redemption price of $25.0 per share, and $0.0425 per share of accumulated and unpaid dividends through January 21, 2005. This redemption resulted in $1.1 million of redemption related preferred stock issuance costs being deducted from net income to arrive at net loss attributable to common stockholders and thereby increased by $0.01 our loss per basic and diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Common Stock
     During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, approximately 289,000 and 420,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, were issued in exchange for common OP Units tendered for redemption. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, approximately 51,000 and 713,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, were issued in exchange for common OP Units tendered for redemption. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we issued approximately 46,000 and 393,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, respectively, to certain officers and employees compared to approximately 4,000 and 484,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. We recorded the restricted stock at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of issuance. These shares of restricted Common Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of and are subject to a risk of forfeiture prior to the expiration of the applicable vesting period (typically ratably over a period of three or five years). Certain shares of restricted stock issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are subject to accelerated vesting upon the achievement of a specified calendar year performance measure target.
     On December 2, 1997, we issued warrants, which we refer to as the Oxford Warrants, exercisable through December 31, 2006 to purchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $41 per share. The Oxford Warrants were issued to affiliates of Oxford Realty Financial Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation, in connection with the amendment of certain agreements pursuant to which we manage properties formerly controlled by Oxford Realty Financial Group, Inc. or its affiliates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we purchased from the holders thereof all outstanding Oxford Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1.05 million.

Note 8 — Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
     At September 30, 2005, we had 33 properties with an aggregate of 6,839 units classified as held for sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we sold 41 properties with an aggregate of 7,698 units and our interest in one consolidated partnership. During the year ended December 31, 2004, we sold 54 properties with an aggregate of 12,248 units. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, discontinued operations included the results of operations of all of the above properties prior to the date of sale.
     The following is a summary of the components of income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

     We are currently marketing for sale certain real estate properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. We expect that all properties classified as held for sale will sell within one year from the date classified as held for sale. At September 30, 2005, assets classified as held for sale of $214.1 million included real estate net book value of $210.5 million and liabilities related to assets classified as held for sale of $156.7 million included mortgage debt of $149.8 million. At December 31, 2004, assets classified as held for sale of $497.4 million include real estate net book value of $488.8 million and liabilities related to assets classified as held for sale of $347.8 million include mortgage debt of $341.5 million, represented by 74 properties with 14,537 units that were classified as held for sale during 2004 and 2005. The estimated proceeds, less anticipated costs to sell, for certain of these assets were less than the related net book value, and therefore we recorded impairment losses of $6.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $9.5 million and $9.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. We are also marketing for sale certain other properties that do not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

     All of our convertible preferred stock is anti-dilutive on an “as converted” basis, therefore, we deduct all of the dividends payable on the convertible preferred stock to arrive at the numerator and no additional shares are included in the denominator when calculating basic and diluted earnings per common share. We have excluded from diluted earnings per share the common share equivalents related to approximately 12.6 million of vested and unvested stock options, shares issued for the portions of notes receivable that are non-recourse, and restricted stock awards for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and approximately 11.0 million and 12.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share we treat the dilutive impact of the unvested portion of restricted shares as common stock equivalents.

Note 10 — Business Segments
     We have two reportable segments: real estate (owning and operating apartments) and investment management business (providing property management and other services relating to the apartment business primarily to affiliates). We own and operate properties throughout the United States and Puerto Rico that generate rental and other property-related income through the leasing of apartment units to a diverse base of residents. We separately evaluate the performance of each of our properties. However, because each of our properties has similar economic characteristics, the properties have been aggregated into a single apartment communities, or real estate, segment. All real estate revenues are from external customers and no real estate revenues are generated from transactions with other segments. No single resident or related group of residents contributed 10% or more of total revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 or 2004. Portions of the gross revenues earned in the investment management business are from transactions with affiliates in the real estate segment.
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, or SFAS 131, requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing such segments’ performance. Our chief operating decision maker is comprised of several members of our executive management team who use several generally accepted industry financial measures to assess the performance of the business including net operating income, free cash flow, funds from operations, and adjusted funds from operations. The chief operating decision maker emphasizes net operating income as a key measurement of segment profit or loss. Accordingly, below we disclose net operating income for each of our segments. Net operating income is defined as segment revenues (after the elimination of intersegment revenues) less direct segment operating expenses.
     The following table presents revenues and net operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, from these segments, and reconciles net operating income of reportable segments to operating income as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands):

Note 11 — Recent Accounting Developments
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123R, which supersedes the existing SFAS 123, which we adopted in 2003 using the prospective method of transition as described therein. SFAS 123R requires all share-based employee compensation, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on fair value and requires a modified prospective application method of adoption. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS 123R will be applied prospectively to new and modified awards granted on or after the required effective date. In addition, compensation expense is required to be recognized over the remaining vesting period for the unvested portion of outstanding awards granted prior to the effective date. The measurement and recognition provisions of SFAS 123R that apply to our stock option plans are similar to those currently being followed by us for awards granted on or after January 1, 2003. The primary change in expense recognition requirements, which also applies to our unvested restricted stock awards, relates to the treatment of forfeitures. Under SFAS 123R, expected forfeitures are required to be estimated in determining periodic compensation expense, whereas we currently recognize forfeitures as they occur. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, we will estimate forfeitures of unvested awards of stock options and restricted stock and record a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to reflect the compensation expense that would not have been recognized in prior periods had forfeitures been estimated prior to the date of adoption. We are required to adopt SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006, although early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, our periodic compensation expense will increase over the remaining vesting period for stock options granted prior to January 1, 2003, for which no expense is currently being recognized. Based on preliminary estimates of such additional compensation expense, we do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
     In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, or SFAS 154, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, although early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date SFAS 154 was issued. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
     In June 2005, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, or EITF 04-5. EITF 04-5 provides an accounting model to be used by a general partner, or group of general partners, to determine whether the general partner(s) controls a limited partnership or similar entity in light of certain rights held by the limited partners and provides additional guidance on what constitutes substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. EITF 04-5 is being applied after June 29, 2005 for (a) general partners of all newly formed limited partnerships and (b) existing limited partnerships for which the partnership agreements have been modified. To date, EITF 04-5 has had no material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. For general partners in all other limited partnerships, EITF 04-5 will be effective on January 1, 2006. There are two transition method alternatives available upon adoption; one involves a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle recorded in opening retained earnings and the other involves restatement. We have not yet determined the effect or method of adoption of EITF 04-5.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of acquisitions, our 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 that are beyond our control including, without limitation: natural disasters such as hurricanes; national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which we operate; financing risks, including the risk that our 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; acquisition and development risks, including failure of such acquisitions to perform in accordance with projections; the timing of acquisitions and dispositions; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by us. In addition, our current and continuing qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Readers should carefully review our financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As used herein and except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Aimco, AIMCO Properties, L.P. (which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership) and Aimco’s consolidated corporate subsidiaries and consolidated real estate partnerships, collectively.
Executive Overview
     We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, engaged in the ownership, acquisition, management and redevelopment of apartment properties. Our property operations are characterized by diversification of product, location and price point. As of September 30, 2005, we owned or managed 1,424 apartment properties containing 251,250 units located in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Our primary sources of income and cash are rents associated with apartment leases.
     The key financial indicators that we use in managing our business and in evaluating our financial condition and operating performance are: Funds From Operations, or FFO; FFO less spending for Capital Replacements, or AFFO; same store property operating results; net operating income; net operating income less spending for Capital Replacements; financial coverage ratios; and leverage as shown on our balance sheet. These terms are defined and described in the sections captioned “Funds From Operations” and “Capital Expenditures” below. The key macro-economic factors and non-financial indicators that affect our financial condition and operating performance are: rates of job growth; unemployment rates; single-family and multifamily housing starts; and interest rates.
     Because our operating results depend primarily on income from our properties, the supply and demand for apartments influences our operating results. Additionally, the level of expenses required to operate and maintain our properties, the pace and price at which we redevelop, acquire and dispose of our apartment properties, and the volume and timing of fee transactions affects our operating results. Our cost of capital is affected by the conditions in the capital and credit markets and the terms that we negotiate for our equity and debt financings.
     During 2004 we focused on a number of areas related to improving operations, including customer service, resident selection and retention, marketing, pricing, and operating cost management.
     Our focus in 2005 has been, and for the remainder of 2005 will continue to be, to increase revenue and implement cost management and productivity initiatives, which includes centralizing purchasing, restructuring business processes, using technology to increase efficiency and implementing structured monthly reporting to identify issues and improve effectiveness of spending. We believe that our efforts are having their intended effect, are resulting in a positive trend in certain operating results and are the foundation for improved long-term operating results. These initiatives and others have

also resulted in improved asset quality, and we will continue to seek opportunities to reinvest in our properties through capital expenditures and to manage our portfolio through property sales and acquisitions.
     The following discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements.
Results of Operations
Overview
     Three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to three months ended September 30, 2004
     We reported net income of $26.4 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to net income of $163.2 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $138.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, which were decreases of $136.8 million and $133.8 million, respectively. These decreases were principally due to the following items:
    a decrease in income from discontinued operations, primarily related to lower net gains on dispositions of real estate;
 
    a decrease in net gain on disposition of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other, primarily related to a third quarter 2004 gain on sale of land; and
 
    higher depreciation and amortization expense.
 
  These decreases were partially offset by:
 
    an increase in net operating income associated with property operations, which included increases related to acquisition, newly consolidated and same store properties.
Nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2004
     We reported net income of $56.0 million and net loss attributable to common stockholders of $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to net income of $191.2 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $124.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, which both decreased $135.2 million. These decreases were principally due to the following items:
    a decrease in income from discontinued operations, primarily related to lower net gains on dispositions of real estate;
 
    a decrease in net gain on disposition of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other, primarily related to a third quarter 2004 gain on sale of land;
 
    higher depreciation and amortization expense;
 
    higher interest expense; and
 
    higher general and administrative expenses.
        These decreases were partially offset by:
    an increase in net operating income associated with property operations, which included increases related to acquisition, newly consolidated and same store properties; and
 
    the 2004 cumulative effect of change in accounting principle due to implementation of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46.

Table of Contents

     The following paragraphs discuss these and other items affecting the results of our operations in more detail.
Rental Property Operations
     Our operating income is primarily generated from the operations of our consolidated properties. The principal components within our total consolidated property operations are: consolidated same store properties, which consist of all conventional properties that were owned (and not classified as held for sale), managed, stabilized and consolidated for all comparable periods presented; and other consolidated entities, which include acquisition, newly consolidated, affordable and redevelopment properties.
     The following table summarizes the overall performance of our consolidated properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):
                                 
    For the Three Months     For the Nine Months  
    Ended September 30,     Ended September 30,

  $ 194,472     $ 171,216     $ 571,027     $ 510,705  
 
                       
     For the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, net operating income for our consolidated property operations increased by $23.3 million, or 13.6%. This increase was principally due to a $8.3 million increase in consolidated same store net operating income (see further discussion of same store results under the heading “Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results”); a $7.2 million increase related to operations of acquisition properties, which were principally comprised of Palazzo East at Park La Brea and five other properties purchased in 2005 and five properties purchased in 2004; a $4.0 million increase related to operations of newly consolidated properties, which are properties that had been previously unconsolidated and accounted for by the equity method (10 properties first consolidated in 2005 and 11 properties first consolidated in 2004); and a $0.8 million increase related to the completion of certain redevelopment properties. Additionally, there was a $3.2 million increase related to lower net casualty losses in 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily relating to greater hurricane and tropical storm damage that occurred in the third quarter of 2004.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net operating income for our consolidated property operations increased by $60.3 million, or 11.8%. This increase was principally due to a $23.4 million increase in consolidated same store net operating income (see further discussion of same store results under the heading “Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results”); a $16.6 million increase related to operations of newly consolidated properties (10 properties first consolidated in 2005 and 42 properties first consolidated in 2004, which includes 24 properties that were consolidated due to the adoption of FIN 46); a $19.6 million increase related to operations of acquisition properties, which were principally comprised of Palazzo East at Park La Brea and five other properties purchased in 2005, and The Palazzo at Park La Brea and 10 other properties purchased in 2004; and a $4.8 million increase related to the completion of certain redevelopment properties. These increases were offset by $5.4 million in higher regional operating center costs associated with managing the operations of our consolidated properties, in part due to the increased number of consolidated properties.

Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results
     Same store operating results is a key indicator we use to assess the performance of our property operations and to understand the period over period operations of a consistent portfolio of properties. We define “same store” properties as conventional properties that we manage in which our ownership interest exceeds 10% and the operations of which have been stabilized for all periods presented and have not been classified as held for sale. Our share reflects Aimco’s ownership share before minority interest in the Aimco Operating Partnership. To ensure comparability, the information for all periods shown is based on current period ownership. The following table summarizes the conventional rental property operations on a “same store” basis (which is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) and reconciles them to consolidated rental property operations (which is in accordance with GAAP) described in the above comparative discussions (dollars in thousands):

     For the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, our share of same store net operating income increased $9.3 million, or 6.8%. Revenues increased $16.0 million, or 6.4%, primarily due to higher occupancy (up 2.7%), higher average rent (up $20 per unit) and lower bad debt. Expenses increased by $6.7 million, or 5.9%, primarily due to: an increase of $2.7 million in compensation expense related to increased staffing levels to support our initiatives to improve customer service and the appearance of our assets; a $4.4 million increase in real estate taxes; a $0.9 million increase in utilities due primarily to higher natural gas rates; and $0.7 million increased unit turnover costs. These increases were partially offset by decreases related to repairs and maintenance and lower property insurance costs.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, our share of same store net operating income increased $21.3 million, or 5.3%. Revenues increased $41.5 million, or 5.7%, primarily due to higher occupancy (up 2.8%), higher average rent (up $15 per unit) and lower bad debt. Expenses increased by $20.2 million, or 6.3%, primarily due to: an increase of $7.8 million in compensation expense related to increased staffing levels to support our initiatives to improve customer service and the appearance of our assets; a $6.1 million increase in real estate taxes; $3.5 million of increases primarily related to marketing and turnover expenses associated with our efforts to increase occupancy; a $2.9 million increase in utilities due primarily to higher natural gas rates; and an increase of $1.5 million related to repairs and maintenance and contract services. These increases were partially offset by lower property insurance costs.

Property Management
     We earn income from property management primarily from unconsolidated real estate partnerships for which we are the general partner. The income is primarily in the form of fees generated through property management and other associated activities. Our revenue from property management decreases as we consolidate real estate partnerships and the income generated is therefore eliminated in consolidation. We expect this trend to continue as we increase our ownership in more of these partnerships or otherwise determine that consolidation is required by GAAP. Additionally, our revenue decreases as properties within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships are sold. Offsetting the revenue earned in property management are the direct expenses associated with property management.
     The following table summarizes the overall performance of our property management business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):
                                 
    For the Three Months     For the Nine Months  
    Ended September 30,     Ended September 30,  
    2005     2004     2005     2004  
 
Property management revenues, primarily from affiliates
  $ 6,094     $ 8,713     $ 18,684     $ 26,032  
Property management expenses
    1,918       2,737       5,663       7,327  
 
                       
Net operating income from property management
  $ 4,176     $ 5,976     $ 13,021     $ 18,705  
 
                       
     For the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, net operating income from property management decreased by $1.8 million, or 30.1%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net operating income from property management decreased by $5.7 million, or 30.4%. In both periods the decreases were principally due to an increase in consolidated real estate partnerships, which required elimination of fee income and associated property operating expense related to such partnerships and the sales of properties within our unconsolidated partnerships (24 properties in 2005 and 53 properties in 2004) that had previously generated property management revenues.
Activity Fees and Asset Management
     Activity fees are generated from transactional activity including tax credit syndications and redevelopments, dispositions, and refinancings. These transactions occur on varying timetables, thus the income generated varies from period to period. The majority of these fees are generated by transactions related to affordable properties within the Aimco Capital portfolio. Asset management revenue is from the financial management of partnerships, rather than management of day-to-day property operations. Asset management revenue includes deferred asset management fees that are recognized once a transaction or improvement in operations has occurred to generate available cash. Activity and asset management expenses are the direct expenses associated with transactional activities and asset management.
     The following table summarizes the operating results of our transactional and asset management activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, of fees related to affordable properties within the Aimco Capital portfolio.
     For the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, net operating income from activity fees and asset management increased by $1.5 million, or 41.6%. This increase was principally a result of $3.1 million and $1.3 million in higher developer and syndication fees, respectively, resulting from a greater number of transactions in 2005 as compared to 2004. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million in asset management fees, disposition fees and refinancing fees, respectively. Additionally, the increase in revenue was partially offset by $0.5 million in higher expenses associated with these activities.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net operating income from activity fees and asset management was flat. There was a decrease of $1.7 million in activity fee and asset management revenue principally due to a $4.9 million reduction related to the recognition of asset management fees and $2.9 million in decreased activity fees related to refinancing activities, both due to a greater number of transactions occurring in 2004 as compared to 2005. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $3.3 million and $2.6 million related to higher developer and syndication fees, respectively, resulting from a greater number of transactions during 2005. The decrease in revenue was offset by $1.6 million in lower expenses associated with these activities.
Depreciation and Amortization
     For the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, depreciation and amortization increased $27.7 million, or 32.6%. This increase was principally due to: $9.6 million of additional depreciation on certain real estate assets where the depreciation was adjusted prospectively (see Use of Estimates in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements); $1.4 million and $2.2 million of additional depreciation related to the newly consolidated and acquisition properties, respectively; $3.4 million from the completion of certain redevelopment properties and approximately $7.7 million related to depreciation of new capital spending on properties. Additionally, $3.4 million of the increase was due to a change in estimated useful lives that apply to capitalized payroll and certain indirect costs (see discussion within Critical Accounting Policies — Capitalized Costs).
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, depreciation and amortization increased $61.9 million, or 24.6%. This increase was principally due to: $27.5 million of additional depreciation on certain real estate assets where the depreciation was adjusted prospectively (see Use of Estimates in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements); $11.2 million and $5.9 million of additional depreciation related to the newly consolidated and acquisition properties, respectively; $8.0 million from the completion of certain redevelopment properties; and approximately $7.5 million related to depreciation of new capital spending on properties. Additionally, $3.4 million of the increase was due to a change in estimated useful lives that apply to capitalized payroll and certain indirect costs (see discussion within Critical Accounting Policies — Capitalized Costs).
General and Administrative Expenses
     For the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, general and administrative expenses increased $4.7 million, or 25.4%. This increase was principally due to $3.0 million in higher compensation related to increased staffing levels and increased health care costs, approximately $1.1 million in increased legal and accounting fees and $0.5 million in higher recruiting expense.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, general and administrative expenses increased $11.7 million, or 21.6%. This increase was principally due to $10.5 million in higher compensation related to increased staffing levels and increased health care costs and $1.0 million in higher recruiting expense.
Interest Expense
     For the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, interest expense, which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, increased $4.1 million, or 4.4%. This increase was principally due to: $5.3 million resulting from interest on the additional debt related to acquisition properties and $1.2 million resulting from interest on the additional debt related to the newly consolidated properties; and $5.6 million due to increased borrowings and increased interest rates on corporate and variable rate property debt, offset by lower amortization and loan costs of $4.7 million. These increases were partially offset by $3.0 million in higher capitalized interest due to

increased redevelopment activity and a $0.3 million decrease related to the redemption of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities in January 2005 (Trust Based Convertible Preferred Securities).
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, interest expense, which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, increased $15.3 million, or 5.8%. This increase was principally due to: $13.1 million resulting from interest on the additional debt related to acquisition properties and $7.2 million resulting from interest on the additional debt related to the newly consolidated properties; $7.1 million due to increased borrowings and increased interest rates on corporate and variable rate property debt and other items, offset by lower amortization and loan costs of $2.8 million. These increases were partially offset by $8.0 million in higher capitalized interest due to increased redevelopment activity and a $1.9 million decrease related to the redemption of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities in March 2004 (Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock) and January 2005 (Trust Based Convertible Preferred Securities).
Gain on Dispositions of Real Estate Related to Unconsolidated Entities and Other
     Gain on dispositions of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other includes our share of gain related to dispositions of real estate within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, gain on dispositions of land and other non-depreciable assets and costs related to asset disposal activities.
     For the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, gain on disposition of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other decreased $31.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, gain on disposition of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other decreased $28.4 million. The decreases in both periods were principally due to a $34.6 million gain on the sale of a parcel of land located in Florida that occurred in 2004.
     Gains on properties sold are determined on an individual property basis or in the aggregate for a group of properties that will be sold in a single transaction and are not comparable period to period.
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net
     For properties accounted for as held for sale, the results of operations for properties sold during the period or designated as held for sale at the end of the period are generally required to be classified as discontinued operations. The property-specific components of net earnings that are classified as discontinued operations include all property-related revenues and operating expenses, depreciation expense recognized prior to the classification as held for sale, property-specific interest expense to the extent there is secured debt on the property and the associated minority interest. In addition, any impairment losses on assets held for sale, and the net gain on the eventual disposal of properties held for sale are reported as discontinued operations.
     For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, income from discontinued operations, net totaled $34.8 million and $137.2 million, respectively, which included income from operations of $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, income from discontinued operations, net totaled $68.4 million and $165.1 million, respectively, which included income from operations of $2.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the income from operations included 74 properties that were sold or classified as held for sale during 2005. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the income from operations included 128 properties that were sold or classified as held for sale during 2004 and 2005.
     During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we sold 24 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $42.4 million (which is net of $1.6 million of related taxes). During the three months ended September 30, 2004, we sold 12 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $162.1 million (which is net of $12.4 million of related taxes). Additionally, we recognized $6.2 million and $9.5 million in impairment losses on assets sold or held for sale in the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we sold 41 properties and our interest in one consolidated partnership, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $78.3 million (which is net of $2.8 million of related taxes). During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we sold 32 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $182.8 million (which is net of $13.2 million of related taxes). Additionally, we recognized $8.4 million and $9.9 million in impairment losses on assets sold or held for sale in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

See Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for more details on discontinued operations.
Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle
     On March 31, 2004, we recorded a $4.0 million cumulative effect of change in accounting principle related to the adoption of FIN 46. This charge is attributable to our recognition of cumulative losses allocable to minority interest that would otherwise have resulted in minority interest deficits.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
     Real estate and other long-lived assets to be held and used are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, 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, we make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to our estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.
     Real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of our real estate investments. These factors include:
    the general economic climate;
 
    competition from other apartment communities and other housing options;
 
    local conditions, such as an increase in unemployment 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;
 
    changes in market capitalization rates; and
 
    the relative illiquidity of such investments.
     Any adverse changes in these and other factors could cause an impairment in our long-lived assets, including real estate and investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships. Based on periodic tests of recoverability of long-lived assets, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded an impairment loss of $1.0 million related to a property to be held and used. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, we determined that the carrying amount for our properties to be held and used was recoverable and, therefore, we did not record any impairment losses related to such properties.
Notes Receivable and Interest Income Recognition
     Notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships consist primarily of subordinated notes receivable from partnerships in which we are the general partner. The ultimate repayment of these notes is subject to a number of variables, including the performance and value of the underlying real estate property and the claims of unaffiliated mortgage lenders. Our notes receivable include loans extended by us that we carry at the face amount plus accrued interest, which we refer to as “par value notes,” and loans extended by predecessors whose positions we generally acquired at a discount, which we refer to as “discounted notes.”

23


Table of Contents

     We record interest income on par value notes as earned in accordance with the terms of the related loan agreements. We discontinue the accrual of interest on such notes when the notes are impaired, as discussed below, or when there is otherwise significant uncertainty as to the collection of interest. We record income on such nonaccrual loans using the cost recovery method, under which we apply cash receipts first to the recorded amount of the loan; thereafter, any additional receipts are recognized as income.
     We recognize interest income on discounted notes receivable based upon whether the amount and timing of collections are both probable and reasonably estimable. We consider collections to be probable and reasonably estimable when the borrower has entered into certain closed or pending transactions (which include real estate sales, refinancings, foreclosures and rights offerings) that provide a reliable source of repayment. In such instances, we recognize accretion income, on a prospective basis using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining term of the loans, equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the discounted notes and the estimated collectible value. We record income on all other discounted notes using the cost recovery method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, if we had not been able to complete certain transactions, our accretion income would have been unchanged and lower by $1.8 million, respectively. Accretion income recognized in any given period is based on our ability to complete transactions to monetize the notes receivable and the difference between the carrying value and the estimated collectible value of the notes; therefore, accretion income varies on a period by period basis and could be lower or higher than in prior periods.
Allowance for Losses on Notes Receivable
     We assess the collectibility of notes receivable on a periodic basis, which assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of cash flow projections of the borrower to determine whether estimated cash flows are sufficient to repay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the note. We recognize impairments on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The amount of the impairment to be recognized generally is based on the fair value of the partnership’s real estate that represents the primary source of loan repayment. In certain instances where other sources of cash flow are available to repay the loan, the impairment is measured by discounting the estimated cash flows at the loan’s original effective interest rate. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded $0.2 million of net impairment losses on notes receivable and during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded $1.4 million in net recovery of impairment losses on notes receivable. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded $0.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in net impairment losses on notes receivable.
     We will continue to evaluate the collectibility of these notes, and we will adjust related allowances in the future due to changes in market conditions and other factors.
Capitalized Costs
     We capitalize costs, including certain indirect costs, incurred in connection with our capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects, other tangible property improvements, and replacements of existing property components. 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. We characterize as “indirect costs” an allocation of certain department costs, including payroll, at the regional operating center and corporate levels that clearly relate to capital expenditure activities. We capitalize interest, property taxes and insurance during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress. Costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities are capitalized where the costs of the improvements or replacements exceed $250. We charge to expense as incurred costs that do not relate to capital expenditure activities, including ordinary repairs, maintenance, resident turnover costs and general and administrative expenses.
     We depreciate capitalized costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related component or improvement, which is five, 15 or 30 years. Prior to July 1, 2005, we recorded capitalized site payroll costs and most capitalized indirect costs separately from other costs of the related capital projects. We depreciated capitalized site payroll costs over five years and capitalized indirect costs associated with capital replacement and improvement projects over five or 15 years. Capitalized indirect costs associated with redevelopment projects, together with other costs of the redevelopment projects, were depreciated over the estimated useful lives of those projects, predominantly 30 years.
     Effective July 1, 2005, we refined the estimated useful lives for the capitalized site payroll and indirect costs that were recorded separately from other costs of the related capital projects. All capitalized site payroll and indirect costs incurred after June 30, 2005 are allocated proportionately, based on direct costs, among capital projects and depreciated over the

24


Table of Contents

estimated useful lives of such projects. This change in estimate is also being applied prospectively to the June 30, 2005 undepreciated net book values of the site payroll and indirect costs. Those undepreciated net book values, based on the periods incurred, were allocated among capital projects in the corresponding periods in proportion to their original direct costs and are being depreciated over the remaining useful lives of such capital projects. We anticipate that these refinements will result in generally higher depreciation expense in foreseeable future accounting periods. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005, these changes in estimated useful lives resulted in an increase in depreciation expense of approximately $3.4 million.
     Certain homogeneous items that are purchased in bulk on a recurring basis, such as carpeting and appliances, are depreciated using group methods that reflect the average estimated useful life of the items in each group. Except in the case of property casualties, where the net book value of lost property is written off in the determination of casualty gains or losses, we generally do not recognize any loss in connection with the replacement of an existing property component because normal replacements are considered in determining the estimated useful lives used in connection with our composite and group depreciation methods.
     For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, for continuing and discontinued operations, we capitalized $5.0 million and $2.1 million of interest costs, respectively, and $13.1 million and $10.6 million of site payroll and indirect costs, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, for continuing and discontinued operations, we capitalized $12.4 million and $4.4 million of interest costs, respectively, and $37.0 million and $32.0 million of site payroll and indirect costs, respectively. See further discussion under the heading “Capital Expenditures.”

Funds From Operations
     Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets such as machinery, computers or other personal property. The Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO for all periods presented in accordance with the guidance set forth by NAREIT’s April 1, 2002 White Paper, which we refer to as the White Paper. We calculate FFO (diluted) by subtracting redemption related preferred stock issuance costs and dividends on preferred stock and adding back dividends/distributions on dilutive preferred securities. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our performance or as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of real estate investment trusts, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing FFO is comparable with that of other real estate investment trusts.
     For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, our FFO is calculated as follows (in thousands):

Notes:    
 
(1)   Represents the numerator for earnings per common share, calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 
(2)   Includes amortization of management contracts where we are the general partner. Such management contracts were established in certain instances where we acquired a general partner interest in either a consolidated or an unconsolidated partnership. Because the recoverability of these management contracts depends primarily on the operations of the real estate owned by the limited partnerships, we believe it is consistent with the White Paper to add back such amortization, as the White Paper directs the add-back of amortization of assets uniquely significant to the real estate industry.
 
(3)   “Minority partners’ interest,” means minority interest in our consolidated real estate partnerships.
 
(4)   In accordance with GAAP, deficit distributions to minority partners are charges recognized in our income statement when cash is distributed to a non-controlling partner in a consolidated real estate partnership in excess of the positive balance in such partner’s capital account, which is classified as minority interest on our balance sheet. We record these charges for GAAP purposes even though there is no economic effect or cost. Deficit distributions to minority partners occur when the fair value of the underlying real estate exceeds its depreciated net book value because the underlying real estate has appreciated or maintained its value. As a result, the recognition of expense for deficit distributions to minority partners represents, in substance, either (a) our recognition of depreciation previously allocated to the non-controlling partner or (b) a payment related to the non-controlling partner’s share of real estate appreciation. Based on White Paper guidance that requires real estate depreciation and gains to be excluded from FFO, we add back deficit distributions and subtract related recoveries in our reconciliation of net income to FFO.
 
(5)   Represents the denominator for earnings per common share – diluted, calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus additional common share equivalents that are dilutive for FFO.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations either through the sale or maturity of existing assets or by the acquisition of additional funds through working capital management. Both the coordination of asset and liability maturities and effective working capital management are important to the maintenance of liquidity. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from our operations. Additional sources are proceeds from property sales and proceeds from refinancings of existing mortgage loans and borrowings under new mortgage loans.
     Our principal uses for liquidity include normal operating activities, payments of principal and interest on outstanding debt, capital expenditures, dividends paid to stockholders and distributions paid to partners, and acquisitions of, and investments in, properties. We use our cash provided by operating activities to meet short-term liquidity needs. In the event that the cash provided by operating activities is not sufficient to cover our short-term liquidity demands, we have additional means, such as short-term borrowing availability and proceeds from property sales and refinancings, to help us meet our short-term liquidity demands. We use our revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes and to fund investments on an interim basis. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as debt maturities and property acquisitions, through long-term borrowings, both secured and unsecured, the issuance of debt or equity securities (including OP Units), the sale of properties and cash generated from operations.
     At September 30, 2005, we had $139.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $34.3 million from December 31, 2004, which cash is principally from sales and refinancing transactions that has yet to be distributed or applied to the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2005, we had $314.6 million of restricted cash primarily consisting of reserves and escrows held by lenders for bond sinking funds, capital expenditures, property taxes and insurance. In addition, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held by partnerships that are not presented on a consolidated basis. The following discussion relates to changes in cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Operating Activities
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, our net cash provided by operating activities of $277.7 million was primarily from operating income from our consolidated properties, which is affected primarily by rental rates, occupancy levels and operating expenses related to our portfolio of properties. Cash provided by operating activities decreased $25.0 million compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2004, driven by changes in operating assets and liabilities offset by better property operating results. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses offset by a reduction in current liabilities.

Investing Activities
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, our net cash used in investing activities of $256.3 million primarily resulted from the acquisition of Palazzo East at Park La Brea and five other properties (see Note 3 for further information on acquisitions), as well as investments in our existing real estate assets through capital spending, partially offset by proceeds received from sales of properties.
     Although we hold all of our properties for investment, we sell properties when they do not meet our investment criteria or are located in areas that we believe do not justify our continued investment when compared to alternative uses for our capital. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we sold 41 consolidated properties and 24 unconsolidated properties. These properties were sold for an aggregate sales price of $523.2 million, of which $408.6 million related to the consolidated properties. The sale of the consolidated properties generated proceeds totaling $390.8 million, after the payment of transaction costs. Our share of the total net proceeds from the sale of the 65 properties, after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, was $200.7 million, of which $18.2 million related to the unconsolidated properties and was included in our distributions received from investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships. Sales proceeds were used to repay a portion of our outstanding short-term indebtedness and for other corporate purposes.
     We are currently marketing for sale certain properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. Additionally, from time to time, we may market certain properties that are consistent with our long-term investment strategy but offer attractive returns, such as sales to buyers who intend to convert the properties to condominiums. Gross sales proceeds from 2005 dispositions are expected to be $870 million to $1.0 billion, and we plan to use our share of the net proceeds from such dispositions to reduce debt, fund capital expenditures on existing assets, fund property and partnership acquisitions, and for other operating needs and corporate purposes.
     Capital Expenditures
     We classify all capital spending as Capital Replacements (which we refer to as CR), Capital Improvements (which we refer to as CI), casualties or redevelopment. Non-redevelopment and non-casualty capitalizable expenditures are apportioned between CR and CI based on the useful life of the capital item under consideration and the period we have owned the property (i.e., the portion that was consumed during our ownership of the item represents CR; the portion of the item that was consumed prior to our ownership represents CI).
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we spent a total of $69.3 million on CR. These are expenditures that represent the share of expenditures that are deemed to replace the consumed portion of acquired capital assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we spent a total of $85.1 million, $16.2 million and $98.5 million, respectively, on CI, casualties and redevelopment. CI expenditures represent all non-redevelopment and non-casualty capital expenditures that are made to enhance the value, profitability or useful life of an asset from its original purchase condition. Casualty expenditures represent capitalized costs incurred in connection with casualty losses and are associated with the restoration of the asset. A portion of the restoration costs is reimbursed by insurance carriers based on deductibles associated with each loss. Redevelopment expenditures represent expenditures that substantially upgrade the property.

     We funded all of the above capital expenditures with cash provided by operating activities, working capital, and borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
Financing Activities
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net cash provided by financing activities of $12.9 million primarily related to proceeds from borrowings partially offset by payments on our secured notes payable, payment of our dividends, and redemptions of the Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock and Trust Based Convertible Preferred Securities, which we refer to as TOPRS.

     Mortgage Debt
     At September 30, 2005, we had $5.7 billion in consolidated mortgage debt outstanding as compared to $5.3 billion outstanding at December 31, 2004. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we refinanced or closed mortgage loans on 43 consolidated properties generating $419.9 million of proceeds from borrowings with a weighted average interest rate of 4.79%. Our share of the net proceeds after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, was $194.2 million. In addition, we closed mortgage loans on 10 unconsolidated properties, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.91%. Our share of the net proceeds from these 10 mortgage loans totaled $20.8 million. We used our total net proceeds from all loans closed of $215.0 million for corporate purposes. We intend to continue to refinance mortgage debt to generate proceeds in amounts exceeding our scheduled amortizations and maturities.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we closed five mortgage loans totaling $130.3 million, with an initial weighted average interest rate of 3.27%, to finance our acquisitions.
     Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
     On June 16, 2005, we borrowed $100.0 million as an additional term loan and amended our Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions, which we refer to as the Credit Agreement. This amendment allowed the additional term loan to be made at an interest rate agreed to at the time of borrowing rather than at the interest rate applicable to the existing revolving and term loans. The additional $100.0 million term loan bears interest at a rate of either LIBOR plus 1.75% or a base rate (determined by reference to the federal funds rate or Bank of America’s prime rate) plus 0.25%. The proceeds from the additional term loan were used to repay outstanding revolving loans under the Credit Agreement.
     The aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement is $850.0 million, comprised of $450.0 million of revolving loan commitments and a $400.0 million in term loans. The term loans mature on November 2, 2009 and the revolving loans mature on November 2, 2007. At September 30, 2005, the outstanding principal balance of the term loans was $400.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.67% (based on LIBOR plus 2.00% for the original $300.0 million and LIBOR plus 1.75% for the additional $100.0 million). At September 30, 2005, the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans was $232.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.69% (based on various weighted average LIBOR and base rate borrowings outstanding with various maturities). The amount available under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2005 was $194.5 million (after giving effect to $23.5 million outstanding for undrawn letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility). The proceeds of future revolving loans are generally permitted to be used to fund working capital and for other corporate purposes.
     Equity Transactions
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we redeemed all outstanding shares of Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock for $31.3 million and all outstanding TOPRS for $15.0 million.
     Under our shelf registration statement, which was declared effective in April 2004, as of September 30, 2005, we had available for issuance approximately $877 million of debt and equity securities and the Aimco Operating Partnership had available for issuance $500 million of debt securities. We intend to continue to issue preferred securities in both public offerings and private placements to generate proceeds that we will use to redeem higher cost preferred securities, to finance acquisitions of real estate interests and for other corporate purposes.
     Our Board of Directors has, from time to time authorized us to repurchase shares of our outstanding capital stock. In April 2005, our Board of Directors replaced the existing authorization with a new authorization to repurchase up to a total of eight million shares of our Common Stock. These repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to applicable law.
Future Capital Needs
     We expect to fund any future acquisitions, additional redevelopment projects and capital improvements principally with proceeds from property sales (including tax-free exchange proceeds), short-term borrowings, debt and equity financings and operating cash flows.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     Our primary market risk exposure relates to changes in interest rates. We are not subject to any material foreign currency exchange rate risk or any other material market rate or price risks.
     Our capital structure includes the use of fixed-rate and variable rate indebtedness. As such, we are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates. We use predominantly long-term, fixed-rate and self-amortizing non-recourse mortgage debt in order to avoid the refunding and repricing risks of short-term borrowings. We use short-term debt financing primarily to fund short-term uses and acquisitions and generally expect to refinance such borrowings with cash from operating activities, property sales proceeds, long-term debt or equity financings. We make limited use of derivative financial instruments and we do not use them for trading or other speculative purposes. In some situations, we may use interest rate caps or swaps to limit our exposure to interest rate risk.
     See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a more detailed discussion of interest rate sensitivity. As of September 30, 2005, our market risk had not changed materially from the amounts reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
     Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our 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, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are adequate.
     Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
     There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) under the Exchange Act) during third quarter 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
     (a) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. From time to time during the three months ended September 30, 2005, we issued shares of Common Stock in exchange for common and preferred OP Units tendered to the Aimco Operating Partnership for redemption in accordance with the terms and provisions of the agreement of limited partnership of the Aimco Operating Partnership. Such shares are issued based on an exchange ratio of one share for each common OP Unit or the applicable conversion ratio for preferred OP Units. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, approximately 289,000 shares of Common Stock were issued in exchange for OP Units in these transactions. All of the foregoing issuances were made in private placement transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
