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 Annual Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding our ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy, rental rates and property operating results and the effect of acquisitions and redevelopments. Actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, without limitation: financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing and the risk that our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; earnings may not be sufficient to maintain compliance with debt covenants; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in the markets in which we operate and competition for residents in such markets; national and local economic conditions, including the pace of job growth and the level of unemployment; the terms of governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which we operate; the timing of acquisitions and dispositions; insurance risk, including the cost of insurance; natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; energy costs; 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, Aimco’s 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 section entitled “Risk Factors” described in Item 1A of this Annual Report and the other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PART I

 

Item 1. Business

The Partnership

AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or the Partnership, and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, was formed on May 16, 1994, to engage in the acquisition, ownership, management and redevelopment of apartment properties. Our securities include Partnership Common Units, or common OP Units, Partnership Preferred Units, or preferred OP Units, and High Performance Partnership Units, or HPUs, which are collectively referred to as OP Units. Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is the owner of our general partner, AIMCO-GP, Inc., or the General Partner, and special limited partner, AIMCO-LP Trust, or the Special Limited Partner. The General Partner and Special Limited Partner hold common OP Units and are the primary holders of outstanding preferred OP Units. “Limited Partners” refers to individuals or entities that are our limited partners, other than Aimco, the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, and own common OP Units or preferred OP Units. Generally, after holding the common OP Units for one year, the Limited Partners have the right to redeem their common OP Units for cash, subject to our prior right to acquire some or all of the common OP Units tendered for redemption in exchange for shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock. Common OP Units redeemed for Aimco Class A Common Stock are generally exchanged on a one-for-one basis (subject to antidilution adjustments). Preferred OP Units and HPUs may or may not be redeemable based on their respective terms, as provided for in the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of AIMCO Properties, L.P. as amended, or the Partnership Agreement.

We, through our operating divisions and subsidiaries, hold substantially all of Aimco’s assets and manage the daily operations of Aimco’s business and assets. Aimco is required to contribute all proceeds from offerings of its securities to us. In addition, substantially all of Aimco’s assets must be owned through the Partnership; therefore, Aimco is generally required to contribute all assets acquired to us. In exchange for the contribution of offering proceeds or assets, Aimco receives additional interests in us with similar terms (e.g., if Aimco contributes proceeds of a preferred stock offering, Aimco (through the General Partner and Special Limited Partner) receives preferred OP Units with terms substantially similar to the preferred stock issued by Aimco).

Aimco frequently consummates transactions for our benefit. For legal, tax or other business reasons, Aimco may hold title or ownership of certain assets until they can be transferred to us. However, we have a controlling financial interest in substantially all of Aimco’s assets in the process of transfer to us. As of December 31, 2011, our portfolio of owned and/or managed properties consists of 518 properties with 93,694 apartment units.

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2011, after eliminations for units held by consolidated entities, we had outstanding 126,813,742 common OP Units, 27,968,177 preferred OP Units and 2,339,950 HPUs (see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8). At December 31, 2011, Aimco owned 120,916,294 of the common OP Units and 24,906,727 of the preferred OP Units.

Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to the Partnership and the Partnership’s consolidated entities, collectively. Except as the context otherwise requires, “Aimco” refers to Aimco and Aimco’s consolidated entities, collectively. 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.

Business Overview

Our business activities are defined by a commitment to our core values of integrity, respect, collaboration, performance culture and a focus on our customers. These values and our corporate mission, to consistently provide quality apartment homes in a respectful environment delivered by a team of people who care, continually shape our culture. In all our dealings with residents, team members, business partners and unitholders, we aim to be the best owner and operator of apartment communities and an outstanding corporate citizen.

Our principal financial objective is to provide predictable and attractive returns to our unitholders. Our business plan to achieve this objective is to:

 

   

operate our nationwide portfolio of desirable apartment homes with valued amenities and consistent customer service in an efficient manner that realizes the benefits of our local management expertise;

 

   

improve our diversified portfolio of apartments averaging “B/B+” in quality (defined under the Portfolio Management heading below) with properties concentrated in the largest markets in the United States (also defined under the Portfolio Management heading below) by selling properties with lower projected returns and reinvesting those proceeds through the purchase of other properties or additional investment in properties already in our portfolio, including increased ownership or redevelopment; and

 

   

provide financial leverage primarily by the use of non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate property debt and perpetual preferred equity, a combination which helps to limit our refunding and re-pricing risk and provides a hedge against increases in interest rates, capitalization rates and inflation.

Our business is organized around two core activities: Property Operations and Portfolio Management. We continue to simplify our business, including winding down the portion of our business that generates transaction-based activity fees and reducing the personnel and related costs involved in those activities. Our core activities, along with our leverage strategy, are described in more detail below.

Property Operations

Our owned real estate portfolio is comprised of two business components: conventional and affordable property operations, which also comprise our reportable segments. Our conventional property operations consist of market-rate apartments with rents paid by the resident and included 198 properties with 62,834 units in which we held an average ownership of 93% as of December 31, 2011. Our affordable property operations consist of apartments with rents that are generally paid, in whole or part, by a government agency and consisted of 172 properties with 20,612 units in which we held an average ownership of 59% as of December 31, 2011. Affordable properties tend to have relatively more stable rents and higher occupancy due to government rent payments and thus are much less affected by market fluctuations. Our conventional and affordable properties generated 87% and 13%, respectively, of our proportionate property net operating income (as defined in Item 7) during the year ended December 31, 2011. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our conventional portfolio monthly rents averaged $1,143 and provided 64% operating margins. These average rents increased about 9% from average rents of $1,049 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, approximately half of which resulted from rent growth and approximately half from the sale of properties with lower average rents.

Our property operations currently are organized into two geographic areas, the West and East (as described in Item 2). To manage our nationwide portfolio more efficiently and to increase the benefits from our local management expertise, we have given direct responsibility for operations within each area to an area operations leader with regular senior management reviews. To enable the area operations leaders to focus on sales and service, as well as to improve financial control and budgeting, we have dedicated an area financial officer to support each area operations leader, and with the exception of routine maintenance, our specialized Construction Services group manages all on-site capital spending, thus reducing the need for the area operations leaders to spend time on oversight of construction projects.

Table of Contents

We seek to improve our property operations by: employing service-oriented, well-trained employees; upgrading systems; standardizing business processes, operational measurements and internal reporting; and enhancing financial controls over field operations. Our objectives are to focus on the areas discussed below:

 

   

Customer Service. Our operating culture is focused on our residents. Our goal is to provide our residents with consistent service in clean, safe and attractive communities. We evaluate our performance through a customer satisfaction tracking system. In addition, we emphasize the quality of our on-site employees through recruiting, training and retention programs, which we believe contributes to improved customer service and leads to increased occupancy rates and enhanced operational performance.

 

   

Resident Selection and Retention. In apartment properties, neighbors are a meaningful part of the product, together with the location of the property and the physical quality of the apartment units. Part of our property operations strategy is to focus on resident acquisition and retention – attracting and retaining credit-worthy residents who are good neighbors. We have structured goals and coaching for all of our sales personnel, a tracking system for inquiries and a standardized renewal communication program. We have standardized residential financial stability requirements and have policies and monitoring practices to maintain our resident quality.

 

   

Revenue Management. For our conventional properties, we have a centralized revenue management system that leverages people, processes and technology to work in partnership with our area operational management teams to develop rental rate pricing. We seek to increase revenue and net operating income by optimizing the balance between rental and occupancy rates, as well as taking into consideration the cost of preparing an apartment unit for a new tenant. We are also focused on careful measurements of on-site operations, as we believe that timely and accurate collection of property performance and resident profile data will enable us to maximize revenue through better property management and leasing decisions, as well as the automation of certain aspects of on-site operations, to enable our on-site employees to focus more of their time on customer service. We have standardized policies for new and renewal pricing with timely data and analyses by floor-plan, thereby enabling us to respond quickly to changing supply and demand for our product and maximize rental revenue.

 

   

Controlling Expenses. Cost controls are accomplished by local focus at the area level; taking advantage of economies of scale at the corporate level; and through electronic procurement.

 

   

Ancillary Services. We believe that our ownership and management of properties provide us with unique access to a customer base that allows us to provide additional services and thereby increase occupancy and rents, while also generating incremental revenue. We currently provide cable television, telephone services, appliance rental, and carport, garage and storage space rental at certain properties.

 

   

Maintaining and Improving Property Quality. We believe that the physical condition and amenities of our apartment properties are important factors in our ability to maintain and increase rental rates. In 2011, for properties included in continuing operations, we invested $83.3 million, or $1,077 per owned apartment unit, in Capital Replacements, which represent the share of additions that are deemed to replace the consumed portion of acquired capital assets. Additionally, for properties included in continuing operations, we invested $72.7 million, or $939 per owned apartment unit, in Capital Improvements, which are non-redevelopment capital additions that are made to enhance the value, profitability or useful life of an asset from its original purchase condition.

Portfolio Management

Portfolio management involves the ongoing allocation of investment capital to meet our geographic and product type goals. We target geographic balance in Aimco’s diversified portfolio in order to optimize risk-adjusted returns and to avoid the risk of undue concentration in any particular market. We also seek to balance the portfolio by product type, with both high quality properties in excellent locations and also high land value properties that support redevelopment activities.

Our geographic allocation strategy focuses on the largest markets in the United States (as measured by total apartment value, which is the estimated total market value of apartment properties in a particular market) to reduce volatility in and our dependence on particular areas of the country. We believe these markets are deep, relatively liquid and possess desirable long-term growth characteristics. They are primarily coastal markets, and also include several Sun Belt cities and Chicago, Illinois. We may also invest in other markets on an opportunistic basis. We expect that increased geographic focus will also add to our investment knowledge and increase operating efficiencies based on local economies of scale.

Table of Contents

Our portfolio strategy also focuses on asset type and quality. Our target allocation of capital to conventional properties is approximately 90% of our Net Asset Value, which is the estimated fair value of our assets, net of liabilities and preferred equity, with the balance of the allocation to affordable properties. For conventional properties, we focus on the ownership of primarily B/B+ properties. We measure conventional property quality based on average rents of our units compared to local market average rents as reported by a third-party provider of commercial real estate performance and analysis, with A-quality properties earning rents greater than 125% of local market average, B-quality properties earning rents 90% to 125% of local market average and C-quality properties earning rents less than 90% of local market average. We classify as B/B+ those properties earning rents ranging from 100% to 125% of local market average. Although some companies and analysts within the multifamily real estate industry use property class ratings of A, B and C, some of which are tied to local market rent averages, the metrics used to classify property quality as well as the timing for which local market rents are calculated may vary from company to company. Accordingly, our rating system for measuring property quality is neither broadly nor consistently used in the multifamily real estate industry.

Portfolio management involves strategic portfolio and capital allocation decisions such as transactions to buy or sell properties, or modify our ownership interest in properties, including the use of partnerships and joint ventures, or to increase our investment in existing properties through redevelopment. We generally seek to sell properties with lower projected returns, which are often in markets less desirable than our target markets, and reinvest those proceeds through the purchase of other properties or additional investment in properties already in our portfolio. The purpose of these transactions is to adjust our investments to reflect decisions regarding target allocations to geographic markets and between conventional and affordable properties.

We believe redevelopment of certain properties in superior locations provides advantages over ground-up development, enabling us to generate rents comparable to new properties with lower financial risk, in less time and with reduced delays associated with governmental permits and authorizations. We believe redevelopment also provides superior risk adjusted returns with lower volatility compared to ground-up development. Redevelopment work may also include seeking entitlements from local governments, which enhance the value of our existing portfolio by increasing density, that is, the right to add residential units to a site. We have historically undertaken a range of redevelopment projects: from those in which a substantial number of all available units are vacated for significant renovations to the property, to those in which there is significant renovation, such as exteriors, common areas or unit improvements, typically done upon lease expirations without the need to vacate units on any wholesale or substantial basis. We have a specialized Redevelopment and Construction Services group to oversee these projects.

During 2011, we increased our allocation of capital to our target markets by acquiring for $63.9 million interests in five properties in coastal California, disposing of 25 conventional properties located outside of our target markets or in less desirable locations within our target markets, investing $33.3 million in redevelopment of conventional properties included in continuing operations, and acquiring for $22.3 million the noncontrolling interests in 15 conventional properties owned by our consolidated partnerships. As of December 31, 2011, our conventional portfolio included 198 properties with 62,834 units in 33 markets. As of December 31, 2011, conventional properties comprised 90% of our Net Asset Value and conventional properties in our target markets comprised 90% of the Net Asset Value attributable to our conventional properties. Our top five markets by net operating income contribution include the metropolitan areas of Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles, California; Boston, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Chicago, Illinois.

As with conventional properties, we also seek to dispose of affordable properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment and operating strategies. During 2011, we sold 35 properties from our affordable portfolio. As of December 31, 2011, our affordable portfolio included 172 properties with 20,612 units and our affordable properties comprised 10% of our Net Asset Value.

Leverage Strategy

Our leverage strategy seeks to balance increasing financial returns with the risks inherent with leverage. At December 31, 2011, approximately 86% of our leverage consisted of property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate, amortizing debt and 14% consisted of perpetual preferred equity, a combination which helps to limit our refunding and re-pricing risk. At December 31, 2011, we had no outstanding corporate level debt.

Table of Contents

Our leverage strategy limits refunding risk on our property-level debt. At December 31, 2011, the weighted average maturity of our property-level debt was 8.0 years, with 3.7% of our unpaid principal balance maturing in 2012 (of which 32% has been rate-locked and 40% has been extended by two years in connection with our refinancing activity), and on average 5.7% of our unpaid principal balance maturing per year from 2013 through 2016. Long duration, fixed-rate liabilities provide a hedge against increases in interest rates, capitalization rates and inflation. Approximately 96% of our property-level debt is fixed-rate.

During 2011, we expanded our revolving credit facility from $300.0 million to $500.0 million, providing additional liquidity for short-term or unexpected cash requirements. As of December 31, 2011, we had the capacity to borrow $469.5 million pursuant to our revolving credit facility, net of $30.5 million for undrawn letters of credit backed by the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility matures in December 2014, and may be extended for two additional one-year periods, subject to certain conditions.

Competition

In attracting and retaining residents to occupy our properties we compete with numerous other housing alternatives. Our properties compete directly with other rental apartments as well as condominiums and single-family homes that are available for rent or purchase in the markets in which our properties are located. Principal factors of competition include rent or price charged, attractiveness of the location and property and quality and breadth of services. The number of competitive properties relative to demand in a particular area has a material effect on our ability to lease apartment units at our properties and on the rents we charge. In certain markets there exists an oversupply of single family homes and condominiums and a reduction of households, both of which affect the pricing and occupancy of our rental apartments.

We also compete with other real estate investors, including other apartment REITs, pension and investment funds, partnerships and investment companies in acquiring, redeveloping, managing, obtaining financing for and disposing of apartment properties. This competition affects our ability to: acquire properties we want to add to our portfolio and the price that we pay in such acquisitions; finance or refinance properties in our portfolio and the cost of such financing; and dispose of properties we no longer desire to retain in our portfolio and the timing and price for which we dispose of such properties.

Taxation

We are treated as a “pass-through” entity for United States Federal income tax purposes and are not subject to United States Federal income taxation. We are subject to tax in certain states. Each of our partners, however, is subject to tax on his allocable share of partnership tax items, including partnership income, gains, losses, deductions and credits, or Partnership Tax Items, for each taxable year during which he is a partner, regardless of whether he receives any actual distributions of cash or other property from us during the taxable year. Generally, the characterization of any particular Partnership Tax Item is determined by us, rather than at the partner level, and the amount of a partner’s allocable share of such item is governed by the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The General Partner is our “tax matters partner” for United States Federal income tax purposes. The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required, to take certain actions on behalf of us with respect to tax matters.

Regulation

General

Apartment properties and their owners are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including those related to real estate broker licensing and regulations relating to recreational facilities such as swimming pools, activity centers and other common areas. Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions, as well as changes in laws affecting development, construction and safety requirements, may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which would adversely affect our net income and cash flows from operating activities. In addition, future enactment of rent control or rent stabilization laws, such as legislation that has been considered in New York, or other laws regulating multifamily housing may reduce rental revenue or increase operating costs in particular markets.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Act, was signed into federal law. The provisions of the Act include new regulations for over-the-counter derivatives and substantially increased regulation and risk of liability for credit rating agencies, all of which could increase our cost of capital. The Act also includes provisions concerning corporate governance and executive compensation which, among other

 

6


Table of Contents

things, require additional executive compensation disclosures and enhanced independence requirements for board compensation committees and related advisors, as well as provide explicit authority for the Securities and Exchange Commission to adopt proxy access, all of which could result in additional expenses in order to maintain compliance. The Act is wide-ranging, and the provisions are broad with significant discretion given to the many and varied agencies tasked with adopting and implementing the Act. The majority of the provisions of the Act do not go into effect immediately and may be adopted and implemented over many months or years. As such, we cannot predict the full impact of the Act on our 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 potentially hazardous materials present on a property. These materials may include lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, and petroleum-based fuels, among other miscellaneous materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such materials. 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. These and other risks related to environmental matters are described in more detail in Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Insurance

Our primary lines of insurance coverage are property, general liability, and workers’ compensation. We believe that our insurance coverages adequately insure our properties against the risk of loss attributable to fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, terrorism and other perils, and adequately insure us against other risk. Our coverage includes deductibles, retentions and limits that are customary in the industry. We have established loss prevention, loss mitigation, claims handling and litigation management procedures to manage our exposure.

Employees

At December 31, 2011, we had approximately 2,640 employees, of which approximately 1,970 were at the property level, performing various on-site functions, with the balance managing corporate and area operations, including investment and debt transactions, legal, financial reporting, accounting, information systems, human resources and other support functions. As of December 31, 2011, unions represented approximately 100 of our employees. We have never experienced a work stoppage and believe we maintain satisfactory relations with our employees.

Available Information

We do not maintain a website; however, Aimco does, and it makes all of its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, available free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable through its website at www.aimco.com. The information contained on Aimco’s website is not incorporated into this Annual Report. We will furnish copies of the Partnership’s filings free of charge upon written request to Aimco’s corporate secretary.

Any materials we file with the SEC may be read and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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

Our existing and future debt financing could render us unable to operate, result in foreclosure on our properties, prevent us from making distributions on our equity or otherwise adversely affect our liquidity.

We are subject to the risk that our cash flow from operations will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If we fail to make required payments of principal and interest on secured debt, our lenders could foreclose on the properties and other collateral securing

such debt, which would result in loss of income and asset value to us. As of December 31, 2011, substantially all of the properties that we owned or controlled were encumbered by debt. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of debt that we may incur, and we have significant amounts of debt outstanding. Payments of principal and interest may leave us with insufficient cash resources to operate our properties or pay distributions required to be paid in order to maintain Aimco’s qualification as a REIT.

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing and the cost of available financing and could adversely affect our liquidity.

Our ability to obtain financing and the cost of such financing depends on the overall condition of the United States credit markets. In recent years, the United States credit markets (outside of multi-family) experienced significant liquidity disruptions, which caused the spreads on debt financings to widen considerably and made obtaining financing, both non-recourse property debt and corporate borrowings, such as our revolving credit facility, more difficult. Additionally, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, and Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, have historically provided significant capital in the secondary credit markets at a relatively low cost. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are currently under conservatorship of the Housing Finance Agency, and their future role in the housing finance market is uncertain. Any significant reduction in Freddie Mac’s or Fannie Mae’s level of involvement in the secondary credit markets may adversely affect the pricing at which we may obtain non-recourse property debt financing.

If our ability to obtain financing is adversely affected, we may be unable to satisfy scheduled maturities on existing financing through other sources of liquidity, which could result in lender foreclosure on the properties securing such debt and loss of income and asset value, each of which would adversely affect our liquidity.

Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense and reduce our profitability.

As of December 31, 2011, on a consolidated basis, we had approximately $220.2 million of variable-rate indebtedness outstanding and $37.0 million of variable rate preferred OP Units outstanding. Of the total debt subject to variable interest rates, floating rate tax-exempt bond financing was approximately $179.0 million. Floating rate tax-exempt bond financing is benchmarked against the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index, or SIFMA, rate, which since 1992 has averaged 75% of the 30-day LIBOR rate. If this historical relationship continues, we estimate that an increase in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis points (75 basis points for tax-exempt interest rates) with constant credit risk spreads would result in net income and net income attributable to the Partnership’s common unitholders being reduced (or the amounts of net loss and net loss attributable to the Partnership’s common unitholders being increased) by $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, on an annual basis.

At December 31, 2011, we had approximately $389.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and notes receivable, a portion of which bear interest at variable rates indexed to LIBOR-based rates, and which may mitigate the effect of an increase in variable rates on our variable-rate indebtedness and preferred units discussed above.

Failure to generate sufficient net operating income may adversely affect our liquidity, limit our ability to fund necessary capital expenditures or adversely affect our ability to pay distributions.

Our ability to fund necessary capital expenditures on our properties depends on, among other things, our ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments. If we are unable to fund capital expenditures on our properties, we may not be able to preserve the competitiveness of our properties, which could adversely affect our net operating income.

Our ability to make payments to our investors depends on our ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments and capital expenditure requirements. Our net operating income and liquidity may be adversely affected by events or conditions beyond our control, including:

 

   

the general economic climate;

 

   

an inflationary environment in which the costs to operate and maintain our properties increase at a rate greater than our ability to increase rents, which we can only do upon renewal of existing leases or at the inception of new leases;

 

   

competition from other apartment communities and other housing options;

 

   

local conditions, such as loss of jobs, unemployment rates 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;

 

   

changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing; and

changes in interest rates and the availability of financing.

Covenant restrictions may limit our ability to make payments to our investors.

Some of our debt and other securities contain covenants that restrict our ability to make distributions or other payments to our investors unless certain financial tests or other criteria are satisfied. Our revolving credit facility provides, among other things, that we may make distributions to our investors during any four consecutive fiscal quarters in an aggregate amount that does not exceed the greater of 95% of our Funds From Operations for such period, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, or such amount as may be necessary to maintain Aimco’s REIT status. Our outstanding classes of preferred OP Units prohibit the payment of distributions on our common OP Units if we fail to pay the distributions to which the holders of the preferred OP Units are entitled.

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, we may not be able to sell properties when appropriate.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and cannot always be sold quickly. REIT tax rules applicable to Aimco also restrict our ability to sell properties. Thus, we may not be able to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other market conditions. Our ability to dispose of properties in the future will depend on prevailing economic and market conditions, including the cost and availability of financing. This could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Competition could limit our ability to lease apartments or increase or maintain rents.

Our apartment properties compete for residents with other housing alternatives, including other rental apartments and condominiums and, to a lesser degree, single-family homes that are available for rent, as well as new and existing condominiums and single-family homes for sale. Competitive residential housing in a particular area could adversely affect our ability to lease apartments and to increase or maintain rental rates. Recent challenges in the credit and housing markets have increased housing inventory that competes to some extent with our apartment properties.

Our subsidiaries may be prohibited from making distributions and other payments to us.

Many of our properties are owned by subsidiaries. As a result, we depend on distributions and other payments from these subsidiaries in order to satisfy our financial obligations and make payments to our investors. The ability of our subsidiaries to make such distributions and other payments depends on their earnings and cash flows and may be subject to statutory or contractual limitations. As an equity investor in our subsidiaries, our right to receive assets upon their liquidation or reorganization will be effectively subordinated to the claims of their creditors. To the extent that we are recognized as a creditor of such subsidiaries, our claims may still be subordinate to any security interest in or other lien on their assets and to any of their debt or other obligations that are senior to our claims.

Redevelopment and construction risks could affect our profitability.

We are currently redeveloping, and we intend to continue to redevelop, certain of our properties. These activities are subject to the following risks:

 

   

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

 

   

we may incur costs that exceed our original estimates due to increased material, labor or other costs, such as litigation;

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

we may be unable to obtain financing with favorable terms, or at all, for the proposed development of a property, which may cause us to delay or abandon an opportunity;

 

   

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

we may incur liabilities to third parties during the redevelopment process; and

 

   

loss of a key member of a project team could adversely affect our ability to deliver redevelopment projects on time and within our budget.

Although we are insured for certain risks, the cost of insurance, increased claims activity or losses resulting from casualty events may affect our operating results and financial condition.

We are insured for a portion of our consolidated properties’ exposure to casualty losses resulting from fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood and other perils, which insurance is subject to deductibles and self-insurance retention. We recognize casualty losses or gains based on the net book value of the affected property and the amount of any related insurance proceeds. In many instances, the actual cost to repair or replace the property may exceed its net book value and any insurance proceeds. We also insure certain unconsolidated properties for a portion of their exposure to such losses. With respect to our consolidated properties, we recognize the uninsured portion of losses as part of casualty losses in the periods in which they are incurred. In addition, we are self-insured for a portion of our exposure to third-party claims related to our employee health insurance plans, workers’ compensation coverage and general liability exposure. With respect to our insurance obligations to unconsolidated properties and our exposure to claims of third parties, we establish reserves at levels that reflect our known and estimated losses. The ultimate cost of losses and the impact of unforeseen events may vary materially from recorded reserves, and variances may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. We purchase insurance to reduce our exposure to losses and limit our financial losses on large individual risks. The availability and cost of insurance are determined by market conditions outside our control. No assurance can be made that we will be able to obtain and maintain insurance at the same levels and on the same terms as we do today. If we are not able to obtain or maintain insurance in amounts we consider appropriate for our business, or if the cost of obtaining such insurance increases materially, we may have to retain a larger portion of the potential loss associated with our exposures to risks.

Natural disasters and severe weather may affect our operating results and financial condition.

Natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes may result in significant damage to our properties. The extent of our casualty losses and loss in operating income in connection with such events is a function of the severity of the event and the total amount of exposure in the affected area. When we have geographic concentration of exposures, a single catastrophe (such as an earthquake) or destructive weather event (such as a hurricane) affecting a region may have a significant negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We cannot accurately predict natural disasters or severe weather, or the number and type of such events that will affect us. As a result, our operating and financial results may vary significantly from one period to the next. Although we anticipate and plan for losses, there can be no assurance that our financial results will not be adversely affected by our exposure to losses arising from natural disasters or severe weather in the future that exceed our previous experience and assumptions.

We depend on our senior management.

Our success depends upon the retention of our senior management, including Terry Considine, Aimco’s chief executive officer. We have a succession planning and talent development process that is designed to identify potential replacements and develop our team members to provide depth in the organization and a bench of talent on which to draw. However, there are no assurances that we would be able to find qualified replacements for the individuals who make up our senior management if their services were no longer available. The loss of services of one or more members of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not currently maintain key-man life insurance for any of our employees.

If we are not successful in our acquisition of properties, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

The selective acquisition of properties is a component of our strategy. However, we may not be able to complete transactions successfully in the future. Although we seek to acquire properties when such acquisitions increase our property net operating income, Funds From Operations, Adjusted Funds From Operations or Net Asset Value, such transactions may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations. In particular, following acquisition, the value and operational performance of a property may be diminished if obsolescence or neighborhood changes occur before we are able to redevelop or sell the property.

We may be subject to litigation associated with partnership transactions that could increase our expenses and prevent completion of beneficial transactions.

We have engaged in, and intend to continue to engage in, the selective acquisition of interests in partnerships controlled by us that own apartment properties. In some cases, we have acquired the general partner of a partnership and then made an offer to acquire the limited partners’ interests in the partnership. In these transactions, we may be subject to litigation based on claims that we, as the general partner, have breached our fiduciary duty to our limited partners or that the transaction violates the relevant partnership agreement or state law. Although we intend to comply with our fiduciary obligations and the relevant partnership agreements, we may incur additional costs in connection with the defense or settlement of this type of litigation. In some cases, this type of litigation may adversely affect our desire to proceed with, or our ability to complete, a particular transaction. Any litigation of this type could also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Government housing regulations may limit the opportunities at some of our properties and failure to comply with resident qualification requirements may result in financial penalties and/or loss of benefits, such as rental revenues paid by government agencies. Additionally, the government may cease to operate government housing programs which would result in a loss of benefits.

We own consolidated and unconsolidated equity interests in certain properties and manage other properties that benefit from governmental programs intended to provide housing to people with low or moderate incomes. These programs, which are usually administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, or state housing finance agencies, typically provide one or more of the following: mortgage insurance; favorable financing terms; tax-exempt interest; tax-credit equity; or rental assistance payments to the property owners. As a condition of the receipt of assistance under these programs, the properties must comply with various requirements, which typically limit rents to pre-approved amounts and limit our choice of residents to those with incomes at or below certain levels. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in financial penalties or loss of benefits. We are usually required to obtain the approval of HUD in order to acquire or dispose of a significant interest in or manage a HUD-assisted property. We may not always receive such approval.

Additionally, there is no guarantee that the government will continue to operate these programs or that the programs will be operated in a manner that generates benefits consistent with those received in the past. Any cessation of or change in the administration of benefits from these government housing programs may result in our loss or reduction in the amount of the benefits we receive under these programs, including rental subsidies. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, for continuing and discontinued operations, our rental revenues include $124.3 million, $136.3 million and $150.0 million, respectively, of subsidies from government agencies. Of the 2011 subsidy amounts, $110.5 million related to properties included in continuing operations, approximately 5.0% of which related to properties benefitting from housing assistance contracts that expire in 2012, which we anticipate renewing, and the remainder related to properties benefitting from housing assistance contracts that expire after 2012 and have a weighted average term of 10.2 years. Any loss or reduction in the amount of these benefits may adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations.

Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in our incurrence of unanticipated expenses.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1991, to comply with design and construction requirements for disabled access. For those projects receiving Federal funds, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 also has requirements regarding disabled access. These and other Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to our properties, or affect renovations of the properties. Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although we believe that our properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, we may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA, the FHAA and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in connection with the ongoing operation or redevelopment of our properties.

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

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials present on a property, including lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based fuels, and other miscellaneous materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the

 

11


Table of Contents

release or presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, these materials may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the improper management of these materials on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of certain materials through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of these materials is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of properties, we could potentially be responsible for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our properties or properties we acquire or manage in the future.

Moisture infiltration and resulting mold remediation may be costly.

Although we are proactively engaged in managing moisture intrusion and preventing the presence of mold at our properties, it is not unusual for mold to be present at some units within the portfolio. We have implemented policies, procedures and training, and include a detailed moisture intrusion and mold assessment during acquisition due diligence. We believe these measures will manage mold exposure at our properties and will minimize the effects that mold may 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. We have only limited insurance coverage for property damage claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. 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.

Aimco’s failure to qualify as a REIT would place us in default under our primary credit facilities.

Aimco believes it operates, and has always operated, in a manner that enables it to meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. However, Aimco’s current and continuing qualification as a REIT depends on its ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Code, which are related to organizational structure, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership and certain restrictions with regard to owned assets and categories of income. These requirements are complex and accordingly there can be no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service will not contend that Aimco has violated provisions of the Code and fails to qualify as a REIT. If Aimco fails to qualify as a REIT, we would then be in default under our primary credit facilities.

REIT distribution requirements limit our available cash.

As a REIT, Aimco is subject to annual distribution requirements. As Aimco’s operating partnership, we pay distributions intended to enable Aimco to satisfy these distribution requirements. This limits the amount of cash we have available for other business purposes, including amounts to fund our growth.

Aimco’s charter and Maryland law may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of Aimco and, therefore, us.

A third party is not likely to make an offer to acquire us unless that third party is also acquiring control of Aimco. Aimco’s charter limits ownership of its Class A Common Stock by any single stockholder (applying certain “beneficial ownership” rules under the Federal securities laws) to 8.7% (or up to 12.0% upon a waiver from Aimco’s board of directors) of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, or 15% in the case of certain pension trusts, registered investment companies and Mr. Considine. Aimco’s charter also limits ownership of its Class A Common Stock and preferred stock by any single stockholder to 8.7% of the value of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and preferred stock, or 15% in the case of certain pension trusts, registered investment companies and Mr. Considine.

The ownership limit in Aimco’s charter may have the effect of delaying or precluding acquisition of control of Aimco by a third party without the consent of Aimco’s board of directors. Aimco’s charter authorizes its board of directors to issue up to 510,587,500 shares of capital stock. As of December 31, 2011, 480,887,260 shares were classified as Class A Common Stock, of which 120,916,294 were outstanding, and 29,700,240 shares were classified as preferred stock, of which 24,906,727 were outstanding. Under Aimco’s charter, its board of directors has the authority to classify and reclassify any of Aimco’s unissued shares of capital stock into shares of capital stock with such preferences, conversion or other rights, voting power restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemptions as Aimco’s board of directors may determine. The authorization and issuance of a new class of capital stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking control of Aimco, even if a change in control was in the best interests of Aimco’s stockholders or the Partnership’s Limited Partners.

The Maryland General Corporation Law may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of Aimco and us.

As noted above, a third party is not likely to make an offer to acquire the Partnership unless that third party is also acquiring control of Aimco. As a Maryland corporation, Aimco is subject to various Maryland laws that may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire Aimco and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if an acquisition would be in the best interests of Aimco’s stockholders or the Partnership’s Limited Partners. The Maryland General Corporation Law, specifically the Maryland Business Combination Act, restricts mergers and other business combination transactions between Aimco and any person who acquires, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of shares of Aimco’s stock representing 10% or more of the voting power without prior approval of Aimco’s board of directors. Any such business combination transaction could not be completed until five years after the person acquired such voting power, and generally only with the approval of stockholders representing 80% of all votes entitled to be cast and 66 2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast, excluding the interested stockholder, or upon payment of a fair price. The Maryland General Corporation Law, specifically the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, provides generally that a person who acquires shares of Aimco’s capital stock representing 10% or more of the voting power in electing directors will have no voting rights unless approved by a vote of two-thirds of the shares eligible to vote. Additionally, the Maryland General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that the board of directors has broad discretion in adopting stockholders’ rights plans and has the sole power to fix the record date, time and place for special meetings of the stockholders. To date, Aimco has not adopted a shareholders’ rights plan. In addition, the Maryland General Corporation Law provides that corporations that:

 

   

have at least three directors who are not officers or employees of the entity or related to an acquiring person; and

 

   

has a class of equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,

may elect in their charter or bylaws or by resolution of the board of directors to be subject to all or part of a special subtitle that provides that:

 

   

the corporation will have a staggered board of directors;

 

   

any director may be removed only for cause and by the vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors generally, even if a lesser proportion is provided in the charter or bylaws;

 

   

the number of directors may only be set by the board of directors, even if the procedure is contrary to the charter or bylaws;

 

   

vacancies may only be filled by the remaining directors, even if the procedure is contrary to the charter or bylaws; and

 

   

the secretary of the corporation may call a special meeting of stockholders at the request of stockholders only on the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, even if the procedure is contrary to the charter or bylaws.

To date, Aimco has not made any of the elections described above.

At December 31, 2011, we owned an equity interest in and consolidated 331 properties containing 79,093 apartment units, which we refer to as “consolidated properties.” These consolidated properties contain, on average, 239 apartment units, with the largest property containing 2,113 apartment units. These properties offer residents a range of amenities, including swimming pools, clubhouses, spas, fitness centers, dog parks and open spaces. Many of the apartment units offer features such as vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, washer and dryer connections, cable television, balconies and patios. Additional information on our consolidated properties is contained in “Schedule III – Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. At December 31, 2011, we held an equity interest in and did not consolidate 39 properties containing 4,353 apartment units, which we refer to as “unconsolidated properties.”

Substantially all of our consolidated properties are encumbered by property debt. At December 31, 2011, our consolidated properties were encumbered by, in aggregate, $5,172.3 million of property debt with a weighted average interest rate and maturity of 5.50% and 8.0 years, respectively. Each of the non-recourse property debt instruments comprising this total is collateralized by one of 326 properties, without cross-collateralization, with an aggregate gross book value of $8,871.9 million. Refer to Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information regarding our property debt.

There is no public market for our OP Units, and we do not intend to list our OP Units on any securities exchange. In addition, our Partnership Agreement restricts the transferability of OP Units. The following table sets forth the distributions declared per common OP Unit in each quarterly period during the two years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

Aimco’s board of directors determines and declares Aimco’s dividends. In making a dividend determination, Aimco’s board of directors considers a variety of factors, including: REIT distribution requirements; current market conditions; liquidity needs and other uses of cash, such as for deleveraging and accretive investment activities. In February 2012, Aimco’s board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per share on its Class A Common Stock for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Aimco’s board of directors anticipates similar per share quarterly dividends for the remainder of 2012. However, Aimco’s board of directors may adjust the dividend amount or the frequency with which the dividend is paid based on then prevailing facts and circumstances. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, our distributions per common OP Unit were consistent with the dividends Aimco declared per share of its Class A Common Stock, with the exception of a $0.15 per unit distribution we declared and paid during the three months ended December 31, 2011, which is further discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8. We intend for our future common OP Unit distributions to be consistent with Aimco’s Class A Common Stock dividends.

On February 21, 2012, there were 127,038,825 common OP Units outstanding, held by 2,587 unitholders of record.

Our Partnership Agreement generally provides that after holding the common OP Units for one year, our Limited Partners have the right to redeem their common OP Units for cash, subject to our prior right to cause Aimco to acquire some or all of the common OP Units tendered for redemption in exchange for shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock. Common OP Units redeemed for shares of our Aimco Class A Common Stock are generally exchanged on a one-for-one basis (subject to antidilution adjustments).

As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, during 2011, we exchanged our investment in shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock for Aimco’s holdings of a corresponding number of common OP Units. No common OP Units or preferred OP Units held by Limited Partners other than Aimco were redeemed in exchange for shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock in 2011.

The terms of our Partnership Agreement do not provide for a maximum number of units that may be repurchased, and other than the express terms of our Partnership Agreement, we have no publicly announced plans or programs of repurchase. However, whenever Aimco repurchases its Class A Common Stock, it is expected that Aimco will fund the repurchase with a concurrent repurchase by us of common OP Units held by Aimco at a price per unit that is equal to the price per share paid for the Class A Common Stock.

Aimco’s board of directors has, from time to time, authorized Aimco to repurchase shares of its Class A Common Stock. There were no repurchases of Aimco’s registered equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, Aimco was authorized to repurchase approximately 19.3 million shares. This authorization has no expiration date. These repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Distribution Payments

Our Credit Agreement includes customary covenants, including a restriction on distributions and other restricted payments, but permits distributions during any four consecutive fiscal quarters in an aggregate amount of up to 95% of our Funds From Operations for such period, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, or such amount as may be necessary for Aimco to maintain its REIT status.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

We are the operating partnership for Aimco, which is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Our business activities are defined by a commitment to our core values of integrity, respect, collaboration, performance culture and a focus on our customers. These values and our corporate mission, to consistently provide quality apartment homes in a respectful environment delivered by a team of people who care, continually shape our culture. In all our dealings with residents, team members, business partners and unitholders, we aim to be the best owner and operator of apartment communities and an outstanding corporate citizen.

Our principal financial objective is to provide predictable and attractive returns to our unitholders. Our business plan to achieve this objective is to:

 

   

operate our nationwide portfolio of desirable apartment homes with valued amenities and extraordinary customer service in an efficient manner that realizes the benefits of our local management expertise;

 

   

improve our diversified portfolio of apartments averaging “B/B+” in quality with properties concentrated in the largest markets in the United States by selling properties with lower projected returns and reinvesting those proceeds through the purchase of other properties or additional investment in properties already in our portfolio, including increased ownership or redevelopment; and

 

   

provide financial leverage primarily by the use of non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate property debt and perpetual preferred equity, a combination which helps to limit our refunding and re-pricing risk and provides a hedge against increases in interest rates, capitalization rates and inflation.

Our owned real estate portfolio is comprised of two business components: conventional and affordable property operations, which also comprise our reportable segments. Our conventional property operations consist of market-rate apartments with rents paid by the resident and included 198 properties with 62,834 units in which we held an average ownership of 93% as of December 31, 2011. Our affordable property operations consist of apartments with rents that are generally paid, in whole or part, by a government agency and consisted of 172 properties with 20,612 units in which we held an average ownership of 59% as of December 31, 2011. Affordable properties tend to have relatively more stable rents and higher occupancy due to government rent payments and thus are much less affected by market fluctuations. Our conventional and affordable properties generated 87% and 13%, respectively, of our proportionate property net operating income (defined in the Real Estate Operations discussion) during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Our property operations currently are organized into two geographic areas, the West and East, each of which has a dedicated area operations leader and area financial officer to manage our nationwide portfolio more efficiently and to increase the benefits from our local management expertise. We seek to improve our oversight of property operations by: upgrading systems; standardizing business processes, operational measurements and internal reporting; and enhancing financial controls over field operations.

For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our conventional portfolio monthly rents averaged $1,143 and provided 64% operating margins. These average rents increased about 9% from average rents of $1,049 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, approximately half of which resulted from rent growth and approximately half from the sale of properties with lower average rents. During the year ended December 31, 2011, on average combined conventional new and renewal lease rates were 4.2% higher than expiring lease rates. Notwithstanding the economic challenges of the last several years, our diversified portfolio of conventional and affordable properties generated improved property operating results from 2008 to 2011. From 2008 to 2011, the net operating income of our same store properties and total real estate operations increased by 3.3% and 6.8%, respectively.

We upgrade the quality of our portfolio through the sale of properties with lower projected returns, which are often in markets less desirable than our target markets, and reinvest these proceeds through the purchase of other properties or additional investment in properties already in our portfolio, including increased ownership or redevelopment. Increasing our ownership in properties in our portfolio is attractive as we already operate these properties and know them well, and these acquisitions are especially accretive where we can eliminate overhead costs, as further described below. A portion of the proceeds from 2011 property sales was used to fund $33.3 million of redevelopment spending on our conventional properties, the acquisition for $22.3 million of the noncontrolling interests in 12 partnerships that own 15 conventional properties and the acquisition for $63.9 million of interests in five conventional properties located in coastal California.

We continue to work toward simplifying our business, including winding down the portion of our business that generates transaction-based activity fees. Revenues from transactional activities decreased from $68.2 million during 2008 to $9.2 million during 2011. Also as part of our effort to simplify our business, we are reducing the number of partnerships that own our conventional properties by acquiring the noncontrolling interests in these partnerships which allows us to reduce significant overhead and other costs associated with the separate accounting and reporting that is required for the partnerships, some of which are publicly registered. These and other simplification activities completed to date allowed us to reduce our offsite costs (including property management, investment management and general and administrative costs) from $191.3 million in 2008 to $101.7 million in 2011, with $14.1 million of this reduction achieved in 2011.

Our leverage strategy seeks to balance increasing financial returns with the risks inherent with leverage. At December 31, 2011, approximately 86% of our leverage consisted of property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate, amortizing debt and 14% consisted of perpetual preferred units, a combination which helps to limit our refunding and re-pricing risk. At December 31, 2011, we had no outstanding corporate level debt.

Our leverage strategy limits refunding risk on our property-level debt. At December 31, 2011, the weighted average maturity of our property-level debt was 8.0 years, with 3.7% of our unpaid principal balance maturing in 2012 (of which 32% has been rate-locked and 40% has been extended by two years in connection with our refinancing activity), and on average 5.7% of our unpaid principal balance maturing per year from 2013 through 2016. Long duration, fixed-rate liabilities provide a hedge against increases in interest rates, capitalization rates and inflation. Approximately 96% of our property-level debt is fixed-rate.

We measure our leverage using, among other things, the ratios of EBITDA Coverage of Interest and EBITDA Coverage of Interest and Preferred Distributions. EBITDA is calculated by adding to our Pro forma FFO (defined below), our proportionate share of interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization related to non-real estate assets, non-cash stock-based compensation, and distributions on our preferred OP Units. Interest, as used in these ratios, represents our proportionate share of interest expense excluding debt prepayment penalties and amortization of deferred financing costs and reduced by interest income we receive on our investment in the subordinate tranches of a securitization that holds our property loans. For the year ended December 31, 2011, our EBITDA Coverage of Interest and EBITDA Coverage of Interest and Preferred Distributions ratios were 2.18:1 and 1.78:1, compared to ratios of 2.07:1 and 1.68:1, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

We also measure our leverage using the ratios of Debt to EBITDA and Debt and preferred units to EBITDA. Debt, as used in these ratios, represents our proportionate share of debt, and preferred units represents our preferred OP Units. As of December 31, 2011, our ratios of Debt to EBITDA and Debt and preferred units to EBITDA were 8.6:1 and 10.0:1.

Although our primary sources of leverage are property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate, amortizing debt and perpetual preferred units we also have a revolving credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity needs. During 2011, we expanded our revolving credit facility from $300.0 million to $500.0 million, providing additional liquidity for short-term or unexpected cash requirements. As of December 31, 2011, we had the capacity to borrow $469.5 million pursuant to our revolving credit facility, net of $30.5 million for undrawn letters of credit backed by the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility matures in December 2014, and may be extended for two additional one-year periods, subject to certain conditions.

In connection with and as defined in our revolving credit facility, we have agreed to Debt Service and Fixed Charge Coverage covenants. For the year ended December 31, 2011, our Debt Service and Fixed Charge Coverage ratios were 1.61:1 and 1:37.1, compared to covenants in place during the year of 1.40:1 and 1:20.1, respectively, and ratios of 1.57:1 and 1.33:1, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Key Financial Indicators

The key financial indicators that we use in managing our business and in evaluating our financial condition and operating performance are: Net Asset Value; Pro forma Funds From Operations; Adjusted Funds From Operations; property net operating income, which is rental and other property revenues less direct property operating expenses, including real estate taxes; proportionate property net operating income; same store property operating results; Free Cash Flow, which is net operating income less spending for Capital Replacements; Free Cash Flow internal rate of return; financial coverage ratios; and leverage as shown on our balance sheet. Funds From Operations represents net income or loss, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains from sales of, and impairment losses recognized with respect to, depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures (calculated on the same basis to determine Funds From Operations). Pro forma Funds From Operations represents Funds From Operations excluding preferred equity redemption related amounts and Adjusted Funds From Operations represents Pro forma Funds From Operations less spending for Capital Replacements. Proportionate property net operating income is defined and further described in the section captioned “Real Estate Operations.” The key macro-economic factors and non-financial indicators that affect our financial condition and operating performance are: household formations; rates of job growth; single-family and multifamily housing starts; interest rates; and availability and cost of financing.

2012 Goals

During 2012, we intend to build upon our 2011 results. As our 2011 leasing activity earns in, it is expected to contribute 2.1% to 2012 revenue growth, a significant improvement over the 0.4% contribution from 2010 that earned into our 2011 results. We expect our average conventional rents to increase about 10% in 2012, with rent increases coming from both rent growth and the sale of properties with lower rents. We will also remain highly focused on cost control.

We expect to continue to concentrate and upgrade our portfolio in our target markets through sales of properties outside these markets. We also expect to sell properties in our target markets that have lower projected returns. As part of this strategy, during 2012 we intend to sell more than 25 conventional properties with approximately 7,700 units (based on our average ownership) and more than 60 affordable properties with approximately 1,800 units (based on our average ownership). Proceeds from the sale of these properties will be partially used to increase our investment in our target markets by approximately $120.0 million through the redevelopment of Pacific Bay Vistas (formerly Treetops), Lincoln Place and Madera Vista, three properties that are currently vacant, and we expect to invest between $5.0 million and $30.0 million in the redevelopment of five other properties. We also expect to use proceeds from property sales to invest $200.0 million in other property acquisitions, the majority of which will be our acquisition of the noncontrolling interests in 11 consolidated partnerships that own 19 conventional properties.

Our acquisition of the noncontrolling interests discussed above will allow us to reduce overhead costs by eliminating the separate accounting, reporting and other costs associated with these partnerships. Additionally, we further intend to simplify our business during 2012 by selling NAPICO, a legacy asset management business, in a management-led buyout. In February 2012, we entered into an agreement to transfer asset management of NAPICO, and to sell our interests in the portfolio to the new asset manager upon satisfaction of certain conditions and regulatory approvals. We will provide a portion of the financing for the sale, which we expect to close later in 2012, at which time we will have liquidated all of our legacy asset management business. We expect these simplification efforts to result in further reductions in our offsite costs during 2012 and going forward.

During 2012, we will continue to work on strengthening our balance sheet. We are in the process of refinancing all of our 2012 property debt maturities (32% of which is already rate-locked and 40% of which has been extended by two years), and in 2012 we will continue to focus on refinancing our property debt maturing over the next several years to extend maturities and lock in current low interest rates. We expect a gradual reduction in leverage over time, as measured by improving coverage ratios, driven both by growth in net operating income and a reduction of property debt through scheduled amortization. Based on annualized projected fourth quarter 2012 EBITDA, we expect our EBITDA Coverage of Interest and EBITDA Coverage of Interest and Preferred Dividends ratios to be approximately 2.50:1 and 2.00:1, respectively, and we expect our 2012 year end Debt to EBITDA and Debt and Preferred Equity to EBITDA ratios to be approximately 7.5:1 and 9:1, respectively.

We believe the 2012 Goals described above are achievable; however, actual results may differ materially from those described and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Results of Operations

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 and the pace and price at which we redevelop, acquire and dispose of our apartment properties affect our operating results.

The following discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 8.

Table of Contents

Overview

2011 highlights

Highlights of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, are summarized below. Property operating information included in these highlights is based on proportionate property operating results, which is further described in the Real Estate Operations section.

 

   

Conventional Same Store revenues and expenses for 2011 increased by 2.8% and decreased by 1.5%, respectively, resulting in a 5.3% increase in net operating income as compared to 2010.

 

   

Total Same Store revenues and expenses for 2011 increased by 2.9% and decreased by 1.8%, respectively, resulting in a 5.9% increase in net operating income, as compared to 2010.

 

   

Net operating income for our real estate portfolio (continuing operations) for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased 4.9%, as compared to 2010.

 

   

As we continued the execution of our portfolio management strategy, we sold more properties during 2011 than in 2010, producing more proceeds available for accretive investments.

 

   

As part of our effort to simplify our business, we negotiated the termination of the property and asset management contracts for approximately 100 properties with approximately 11,400 units.

2011 compared to 2010

We reported net loss attributable to the Partnership of $56.6 million and net loss attributable to the Partnership’s common unitholders of $109.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to net loss attributable to the Partnership of $75.5 million and net loss attributable to the Partnership’s common unitholders of $134.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, decreases in losses of $18.9 million and $24.6 million, respectively.

These decreases in net loss were principally due to an increase in net operating income of our properties included in continuing operations, reflecting improved operations, partially offset by an increase in interest expense, primarily due to prepayment penalties incurred in connection with a series of financing transactions completed in 2011 that extended maturities and reduced the effective interest rate on a number of non-recourse property loans.

2010 compared to 2009

We reported net loss attributable to the Partnership of $75.5 million and net loss attributable to the Partnership’s common unitholders of $134.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to net loss attributable to the Partnership of $66.4 million and net loss attributable to the Partnership’s common unitholders of $123.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, increases in losses of $9.1 million and $10.7 million, respectively.

These increases in net loss were principally due to a decrease in income from discontinued operations, primarily related to a decrease in gains on dispositions of real estate due to fewer property sales in 2010 as compared to 2009, partially offset by an increase in net operating income of our properties included in continuing operations, reflecting improved operations.

The following paragraphs discuss these and other items affecting the results of our operations in more detail.

Real Estate Operations

Our real estate portfolio is comprised of two business components: conventional real estate operations and affordable real estate operations, which also represent our two reportable segments. Our conventional real estate portfolio consists of market-rate apartments with rents paid by the resident and includes 198 properties with 62,834 units. Our affordable real estate portfolio consists of 172 properties with 20,612 units, with rents that are generally paid, in whole or part, by a government agency. Our conventional and affordable properties contributed 87% and 13%, respectively, of proportionate property net operating income amounts during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Table of Contents

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, we consolidate certain properties in which we hold an insignificant economic interest and in some cases we do not consolidate other properties in which we have a significant economic interest. Due to the diversity of our economic ownership interests in our properties, our chief operating decision maker emphasizes as a key measurement of segment profit or loss proportionate property net operating income, which represents our share of the property net operating income of our consolidated and unconsolidated properties. Accordingly, the results of operations of our conventional and affordable segments discussed below are presented on a proportionate basis.

We do not include property management revenues, offsite costs associated with property management or casualty related amounts in our assessment of segment performance. Accordingly, these items are not allocated to our segment results discussed below.

The tables and discussions below reflect the proportionate results of our conventional and affordable segments and the consolidated results related to our real estate operations not allocated to segments for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands). The tables and discussions below exclude the results of operations for properties included in discontinued operations as of December 31, 2011. Refer to Note 20 in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion regarding our reporting segments, including a reconciliation of these proportionate amounts to consolidated rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses.

Conventional Real Estate Operations

Our conventional segment consists of conventional properties we classify as same store, redevelopment and other conventional properties. Same store properties are properties we own and manage that have reached and maintained a stabilized level of occupancy (greater than 90%) during the current and prior year comparable period. Redevelopment properties are those in which a substantial number of available units have been vacated for major renovations or have not been stabilized in occupancy for at least one year as of the earliest period presented, or for which other significant non-unit renovations are underway or have been complete for less than one year. Other conventional properties may include conventional properties that have significant rent control restrictions, acquisition properties and properties that are not multifamily, such as commercial properties or fitness centers. Consistent application of our definitions of same store and redevelopment properties resulted in these populations differing for the purpose of comparing 2011 to 2010 results and 2010 to 2009 results.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, as presented below, our conventional same store portfolio and our other conventional portfolio consisted of 157 and 41 properties with 55,196 and 7,638 units, respectively. From December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011, our conventional same store portfolio decreased on a net basis by one property and increased by 660 units. These changes consisted of:

 

   

the removal of 23 properties, with 6,142 units that were sold or classified as held for sale through December 31, 2011, and for which the results have been reclassified into discontinued operations;

 

   

the inclusion of 25 properties with 8,071 units for which redevelopment projects were completed primarily during 2009 but that did not meet the criteria to be classified as same store for comparative annual periods until 2011; and

 

   

the removal of four properties with 1,595 units that experienced significant casualty losses and were moved from the same store classification into the other conventional classification, partially offset by the reintroduction of one property with 326 units into the same store classification.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 2010, our conventional segment’s proportionate property net operating income increased $20.5 million, or 4.2%.

Conventional same store proportionate property net operating income increased by $23.6 million, or 5.3%. This increase was primarily attributable to a $19.7 million, or 2.8%, increase in rental and other property revenues due to higher average rent (approximately $27 per unit) and increases in miscellaneous income and utilities reimbursements, partially offset by a 42 basis point decrease in average daily occupancy. Rental rates on new leases transacted during the year ended December 31, 2011, were 3.8% higher than expiring lease rates and renewal rates were 4.6% higher than expiring lease rates. The increase in conventional same store property net operating income was also attributable to a $3.9 million, or 1.5%, decrease in property operating expense, primarily due to reductions in contract services, marketing, insurance and personnel and related costs.

Our other conventional proportionate property net operating income decreased by $3.1 million, or 7.7%, primarily due to a 3.3% decrease in revenue from a larger number of vacant units resulting from the timing of casualties at certain of our properties in 2011 as compared to 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 2009, our conventional segment’s proportionate property net operating income increased $9.5 million, or 2.0%.

Conventional same store property net operating income increased by $1.8 million, or 0.5%. This increase was attributable to a $2.8 million, or 1.2%, decrease in expense primarily due to a reduction during 2010 of previously estimated real estate tax obligations resulting from successful appeals settled during the period and lower marketing expense, partially offset by an increase in insurance costs. This decrease in expense was partially offset by a $1.0 million, or 0.2%, decrease in

revenue, primarily due to lower average rent (approximately $32 per unit). The decrease in average rent was partially offset by a 185 basis point increase in average daily occupancy and higher utility reimbursement and miscellaneous income and a decrease in bad debt expense. Rental rates on new leases transacted during the year ended December 31, 2010, were 2.3% lower than expiring lease rates and renewal rates were 1.5% higher than expiring lease rates.

The net operating income of our conventional redevelopment properties increased by $7.3 million, or 11.0%, primarily due to a $6.0 million, or 5.4%, increase in revenue resulting from higher average daily occupancy and an increase in utility reimbursement and miscellaneous income, and a $1.3 million, or 3.1%, reduction in expense primarily related to marketing expenses, partially offset by higher insurance.

Our other conventional net operating income increased by $0.3 million, or 0.8%, due to an increase in revenue of $1.0 million, or 1.4%, offset by an increase in expense of $0.7 million, or 2.1%.

Affordable Real Estate Operations

Our affordable segment consists of properties we classify as same store or other (primarily redevelopment properties). Our criteria for classifying affordable properties as same store or other are consistent with those for our conventional properties described above.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, our affordable same store portfolio and other affordable portfolio consisted of 115 and 57 properties with 14,244 and 6,368 units, respectively. From December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011, our affordable same store portfolio decreased due to the removal of 38 properties with 4,114 units that were sold or classified as held for sale through December 31, 2011, and for which the results have been reclassified into discontinued operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 2010, the proportionate property net operating income of our affordable segment increased $6.6 million, or 10.0%.

Affordable same store property net operating income increased by $6.0 million, or 10.4%, consisting of a $4.2 million, or 4.0%, increase in revenue and a $1.8 million, or 3.8%, decrease in expense. Affordable same store revenue increased primarily due to higher average rent ($32 per unit) and higher average daily occupancy (26 basis points) at our affordable same store properties. The increase in average rent was partially due to retroactive rent increases awarded in 2011 under government subsidy programs at certain of our affordable properties, $0.2 million of which relates to previous years. Affordable same store expenses decreased primarily due to reductions in personnel and related costs, insurance and real estate tax expenses, the majority of which relates to successful recoveries associated with appeals for 2010 and prior years. The increase in our affordable segment’s proportionate property net operating income was also due to higher net operating income of our other affordable properties of $0.6 million, or 7.1%.

The proportionate property net operating income of our affordable segment increased $3.1 million, or 5.0%, during the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 2009. Affordable same store net operating income increased by $1.6 million, or 3.0%, primarily due to a $2.4 million, or 2.4%, increase in revenue due to higher average rent ($22 per unit) and higher average daily occupancy (14 basis points). The net operating income of our other affordable properties increased by $1.5 million, or 22.3%, primarily due to an 8.0% increase in revenue driven by higher average rent ($23 per unit) and higher average occupancy.

Non-Segment Real Estate Operations

Real estate operations net operating income amounts not attributed to our conventional or affordable segments include property management revenues, offsite costs associated with property management, and casualty losses, reported in consolidated amounts, which we do not allocate to our conventional or affordable segments for purposes of evaluating segment performance (see Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8).

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, property management expenses, which includes offsite costs associated with managing properties we own (both our share and the share of such cost that we allocate to the limited partners in our consolidated partnerships) and offsite costs associated with properties we manage for third parties, totaled $41.4 million, $48.2 million and $51.2 million, respectively. The decrease in property management expenses in 2011 as compared to 2010 was primarily due to the termination in early 2011 of our role as asset manager and property manager for approximately 100 properties with approximately 11,400 units. The decrease in property management expenses in 2010 as compared to 2009 was primarily due to reductions in personnel and related costs attributed to our restructuring activities.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, casualty losses increased by $3.9 million, from $7.7 million to $11.6 million, primarily due to $5.2 million of losses in 2011 from severe snow storms in the Northeast that damaged several properties along with a $1.6 million loss resulting from a severe wind storm in California during 2011 that damaged a property.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, casualty losses decreased by $3.9 million, from $11.6 million to $7.7 million, primarily due to losses incurred during 2009 resulting from properties damaged by Tropical Storm Fay, Hurricane Ike and other less severe storms and casualty events.

Asset Management and Tax Credit Revenues

We perform activities and services for consolidated and unconsolidated real estate partnerships, including portfolio strategy, capital allocation, joint ventures, tax credit syndication, acquisitions, dispositions and other transaction activities. These activities are conducted in part by our taxable subsidiaries, and the related net operating income may be subject to income taxes. In recent years, in an effort to simplify our business, we have reduced our role in transactional activities and accordingly the amount of earnings we generate from transactional activities has decreased. As we continue to work toward our simplification strategy, we expect the amounts of transactional fees to continue to diminish.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, asset management and tax credit revenues increased $3.0 million. This increase is primarily attributable to a $2.1 million increase in general partner transactional fees, a $2.0 million increase in income related to the syndication of low-income

housing tax credit partnerships, and a $1.3 million increase in asset management fees. The increase in asset management fees primarily related to the termination in early 2011 of our role as asset manager for approximately 100 properties, pursuant to which we agreed to receive a reduced payment on asset management and other fees owed to us, a portion of which was not previously recognized based on concerns regarding collectability. These increases in asset management and tax credit revenues during 2011 were partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in promote income, which is income earned in connection with the disposition of properties owned by our consolidated joint ventures.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, asset management and tax credit revenues decreased $14.2 million. This decrease is attributable to an $8.7 million decrease in income related to our affordable housing tax credit syndication business, $3.8 million of which relates to the delivery in 2009 of historic property rehabilitation tax credits with no comparable activity in 2010, and the remainder of which is primarily due to a reduction in amortization of deferred tax credit income. Asset management and tax credit revenues also decreased by $1.9 million due to the elimination of asset management fees related to properties we consolidated at the beginning of 2010, for which the benefit of these fees is now included in noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships, a $1.9 million decrease in disposition and other fees we earn in connection with transactional activities, and a $1.7 million decrease in promote income.

Investment Management Expenses

Investment management expenses consist primarily of the costs of personnel that perform asset management and tax credit activities. For the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, investment management expenses decreased $4.1 million. This decrease is primarily due to a $1.7 million reduction in personnel and related costs and a $2.4 million decrease in expenses, primarily related to our write off during 2010 of previously deferred costs related to tax credit projects we abandoned.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, investment management expenses decreased $1.3 million. This decrease is primarily due to a $4.3 million reduction in personnel and related costs from our organizational restructurings, partially offset by a $3.0 million net increase in expenses, primarily related to our write off during 2010 of previously deferred costs related to tax credit projects we abandoned.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, depreciation and amortization decreased $19.7 million, or 5.0%, primarily due to properties that became fully depreciated in 2010 and adjustments of depreciation recognized during 2011 related to revisions of the estimated useful lives of certain real estate properties.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, depreciation and amortization decreased $4.3 million, or 1.1%. This decrease was primarily due to depreciation adjustments recognized in 2009 to reduce the carrying amount of certain properties. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation primarily related to properties we consolidated during 2010 based on our adoption of revised accounting guidance regarding consolidation of variable interest entities (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8) and completed redevelopments and other capital projects recently placed in service.

Provision for Operating Real Estate Impairment Losses

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recognized impairment losses totaling $4.3 million, $0.1 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, related to properties classified as held for use. These impairments losses were recognized primarily due to reductions in the estimated period over which we expect to hold the properties, coupled with reductions in the estimated fair values of the assets as compared with their carrying amounts.

General and Administrative Expenses

In recent years, we have worked toward simplifying our business, including winding down the portion of our business that generates transaction-based activity fees and reducing the number of partnerships that own our conventional properties by acquiring the noncontrolling interests in these partnerships, which allows us to reduce significant overhead and other costs associated with these activities. These and other simplification activities, along with our scale reductions completed to date have allowed us to reduce our offsite costs, a portion of which is included in general and administrative expenses, by $14.1 million, or 12.2%, in 2011, and by $89.6 million, or 46.8% since 2008. Our general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues has decreased from 5.4% in 2009, to 5.1% in 2010 and 4.7% in 2011.

 

25


Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.4 million, or 4.5%, primarily due to net reductions in personnel and related expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.3 million, or 5.8%, primarily attributable to net reductions in personnel and related expenses, partially offset by an increase in information technology outsourcing costs.

Other Expenses, Net

Other expenses, net includes franchise taxes, risk management activities, partnership administration expenses and certain non-recurring items.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, other expenses, net increased by $9.9 million. The net increase in other expense during 2011 as compared to 2010 was primarily attributable to the settlement of various litigation matters during 2010, which resulted in a net gain in our operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, other expenses, net decreased by $4.5 million. During 2009, we settled certain litigation matters resulting in a net expense in our operations, and in 2010 we settled certain litigation matters that resulted in a net gain in our operations. The effect of the expense in 2009 and gain in 2010 resulted in a $14.8 million decrease in other expenses, net from 2009 to 2010. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the cost of our insurance (net of a reduction in the number of properties insured from 2009 to 2010).

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest on notes receivable (including those from unconsolidated real estate partnerships and the notes receivable from Aimco, which are classified within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets), accretion of discounts on certain notes receivable, interest on cash and restricted cash accounts and interest on investments in debt securities in a securitization of certain of our property loans.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, interest income increased $0.2 million, or 1.6%. This increase is primarily due to an increase in interest on our notes receivable from Aimco prior to their repayment in late 2011, partially offset by accretion income recognized in 2010 related to a change in timing and amount of collection for certain of our discounted notes, including several notes that were repaid in advance of their maturity dates.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, interest income increased $1.9 million, or 21.0%. Interest income increased during 2010 primarily due to an increase of accretion income related to a change in timing and amount of collection for certain of our discounted notes, including several notes that were repaid in advance of their maturity dates.

Provision for Losses on Notes Receivable

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized $0.5 million of net recoveries of previously recognized losses on notes receivable, primarily related to property sales during 2011 for which the net proceeds available for repayment of partnership loans exceeded the amounts previously anticipated. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized a net provision for losses on notes receivable of $0.9 million, primarily due to concerns regarding the collectability of the corresponding notes receivable.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized a net provision for losses on notes receivable of $21.5 million, which consisted primarily of an impairment related to our interest in Casden Properties LLC, an entity organized to acquire, re-entitle and develop land parcels in southern California. Based upon the profit allocation agreement, we accounted for our investment as a note receivable. In connection with the preparation of our 2009 annual financial statements and as a result of declines in land values in southern California, we determined our then recorded investment amount was not fully recoverable, and accordingly recognized an impairment loss of $20.7 million ($12.4 million net of tax).

Interest Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, interest expense, which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs and prepayment penalties, increased by $13.8 million. Property related interest expense increased by $15.5 million, primarily due to our recognition during 2011 of $20.7 million of prepayment penalties and the write off of $2.3 million of deferred loan costs in connection with the completion of a series of financing transactions in which we reduced the weighted average interest rate and extended to ten years the maturity on over $600.0 million of property loans, partially offset by a decrease in interest on our property debt primarily due to lower interest rates resulting from our refinancing activities. The series of financing transactions is discussed further in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8. Corporate level interest expense decreased by $1.7 million primarily due to the repayment of our term loan during 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, interest expense decreased by $0.4 million. Corporate interest expense decreased $7.6 million, primarily due to a decrease in the average outstanding balance on our term loan, which we repaid during July 2010. This decrease in corporate interest expense was partially offset by a $7.2 million increase in property related interest expense, due to a $2.8 million net increase related to properties newly consolidated and deconsolidated in 2010 (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion of our adoption of ASU 2009-17) and an increase related to properties refinanced with higher average outstanding balances, partially offset by lower average rates.

Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships

Equity in earnings or losses of unconsolidated real estate partnerships includes our share of the net earnings or losses of our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, which may include impairment losses, gains or losses on the disposition of real estate properties or depreciation expense, which generally exceeds the net operating income recognized by such unconsolidated partnerships.

During the periods presented, the majority of the investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships included in our consolidated balance sheets were entities that we consolidated in our financial statements even though we held a nominal economic interest in these entities. Accordingly, the equity in earnings and losses recognized by these entities were allocated to noncontrolling interests and had no significant effect on the amounts of net loss attributable to Aimco.

Gain on Dispositions of Interests in Unconsolidated Real Estate and Other

Gain on dispositions of interests in unconsolidated real estate and other includes gains on disposition of interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships, gains on dispositions of land and other non-depreciable assets and certain costs related to asset disposal activities, which vary from period to period.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $2.4 million and $10.6 million, respectively, in net gains on disposition of interests in unconsolidated real estate and other. These gains were primarily related to sales of investments held by consolidated partnerships in which we generally hold a nominal general partner interest. Based on our nominal economic interest in the consolidated partnerships that sold these investments, substantially all of these gains were allocated to the noncontrolling interests in these partnerships and had no significant effect on the amounts of net loss attributable to Aimco during the periods.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, gain on dispositions of interests in unconsolidated real estate and other decreased $10.9 million. This decrease is primarily attributable to $8.6 million of additional proceeds received in 2009 related to our disposition during 2008 of an interest in an unconsolidated real estate partnership and a $4.0 million gain from the disposition of our interest in a group purchasing organization during 2009.

Income Tax Benefit

In conjunction with Aimco’s UPREIT structure, certain of our operations or a portion thereof, including property management, asset management and risk management are conducted through taxable subsidiaries. Income taxes related to the results of continuing operations of our taxable subsidiaries are included in income tax benefit in our consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, income tax benefit decreased by $9.9 million, from $17.1 million to $7.2 million. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in the losses of our taxable subsidiaries.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, income tax benefit decreased by $3.4 million, from $20.5 million to $17.1 million. This decrease in income tax benefit was primarily due to the tax benefit we recognized in 2009 related to the impairment of our investment in Casden Properties, LLC, for which no similar benefit was recognized in 2010, and was partially offset by an increase in tax benefits related to increased losses of our taxable subsidiaries.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net

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 for all periods presented. The 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 and debt extinguishment gains and losses to the extent there is secured debt on the property. In addition, any impairment losses on assets held for sale and the net gain or loss on the eventual disposal of properties held for sale are reported in discontinued operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, income from discontinued operations totaled $83.9 million and $73.9 million, respectively. The $10.0 million increase in income from discontinued operations was principally due to a $15.1 million increase in gain on dispositions of real estate, net of income taxes, primarily attributable to more properties sold in 2011 as compared to 2010, with the balance of the change resulting from decreases in operating income, net of interest expense, due to the timing of sales.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, income from discontinued operations totaled $73.9 million and $152.7 million, respectively. The $78.8 million decrease in income from discontinued operations was principally due to a $128.2 million decrease in gain on dispositions of real estate, net of income taxes, primarily attributable to fewer properties sold in 2010 as compared to 2009, with the balance of the change resulting from decreases in operating income, net of interest expense, due to the timing of sales.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we sold 67 consolidated properties for gross proceeds of $473.5 million and net proceeds of $185.6 million, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $101.2 million (which is net of $7.0 million of related income taxes). During the year ended December 31, 2010, we sold 51 consolidated properties for gross proceeds of $401.4 million and net proceeds of $118.4 million, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $86.1 million (which is net of $8.8 million of related income taxes). During the year ended December 31, 2009, we sold 89 consolidated properties for gross proceeds of $1.3 billion and net proceeds of $432.7 million, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $216.2 million (which is net of $5.8 million of related income taxes).

The weighted average net operating income capitalization rates for our conventional and affordable property sales, which are calculated using our proportionate share of the trailing twelve month net operating income prior to sale, less a 3.5% management fee, divided by our proportionate share of gross proceeds, were 7.1% and 8.9%, respectively, for sales during the year ended December 31, 2011, 8.9% and 9.6%, respectively, for sales during the year ended December 31, 2010, and 8.7% and 7.9%, respectively, for sales during the year ended December 31, 2009.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, income from discontinued operations includes the operating results of the properties sold or classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2011. Refer to Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion of discontinued operations.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships reflects the results of our consolidated real estate partnerships allocated to the non-Aimco owners in these partnerships. We adjust our total consolidated operating results in our consolidated financial statements to determine the portion of our consolidated operating results that corresponds to our ownership interest in all of our consolidated entities. The amounts of income or loss of our consolidated real estate partnerships that we allocate to the non-Aimco owners includes their share of property management fees, interest on notes and other amounts that we charge to these partnerships.

 

28


Table of Contents

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the non-Aimco owners’ share of our operating results were losses of $0.3 million and $13.3 million, a $13.0 million decrease in their share of net losses year over year. This decrease was primarily due to an $8.6 million increase in their share of income from discontinued operations, which is primarily due to an increase in gains on the disposition of real estate from 2010 to 2011, and a $4.4 million decrease in their share of loss from continuing operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the non-Aimco owners’ share of our operating results was a loss of $13.3 million, as compared to net income of $22.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2009, a variance of $35.8 million. This change was substantially attributed to a decrease in their share of income from discontinued operations, which decreased primarily due to a reduction in gains on the dispositions of real estate from 2009 to 2010.

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 estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

If an impairment loss is not required to be recorded, the recognition of depreciation is adjusted prospectively, as necessary, to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate to its estimated disposition value over the remaining period that the real estate is expected to be held and used.

From time to time, we have non-revenue producing properties that we hold for future redevelopment. We assess the recoverability of the carrying amount of these redevelopment properties by comparing our estimate of undiscounted future cash flows based on the expected service potential of the redevelopment property upon completion to the carrying amount. In certain instances, we use a probability-weighted approach to determine our estimate of undiscounted future cash flows when alternative courses of action are under consideration.

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 loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments, that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates;

 

   

changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance;

 

   

increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents;

 

   

changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing; and

 

   

changes in interest rates and the availability of financing.

Any adverse changes in these and other factors could cause an impairment of our long-lived assets, including real estate and investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships. As we execute our portfolio strategy over the next two years, we intend to sell more than 100 properties that do not align with our long-term investment strategy, including more than 85 properties targeted for sale during 2012. While there is no assurance that we will meet this disposition target, the size of our portfolio is likely to change as we continue to execute our portfolio management strategy. For any properties that are sold or meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale during 2012, the reduction in the estimated holding period for these properties may result in additional impairment losses.

Based on periodic tests of recoverability of long-lived assets, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recorded impairment losses of $4.3 million, $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to properties classified as held for use. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recognized impairment losses of $15.9 million, $13.0 million and $56.1 million, respectively, for properties included in discontinued operations, primarily due to reductions in the estimated holding periods for properties sold during these periods.

Provision for Losses on Notes Receivable

We assess the collectability of notes receivable on a periodic basis, which assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of the projected cash flow 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 update our projections of the cash flow of such borrowers annually, and more frequently for certain loans depending on facts and circumstances. We recognize provisions for losses on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Factors that affect this assessment include the fair value of the partnership’s real estate, pending transactions to refinance the partnership’s senior obligations or sell the partnership’s real estate, and market conditions (current and forecasted) related to a particular asset. In certain instances where other sources of cash flow are available to repay the loan, the provision is measured by discounting the estimated cash flows at the loan’s original effective interest rate.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a net recovery of previously recognized provisions for losses on notes receivable of $0.5 million, as compared to $0.9 million and $21.5 million net provisions for losses on notes receivable during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As discussed in Provision for Losses on Notes Receivable within the preceding discussion of our Results of Operations, provisions for losses on notes receivable in 2009 includes an impairment loss of $20.7 million ($12.4 million net of tax) on our investment in Casden Properties LLC, which we account for as a note receivable. We will continue to evaluate the collectability 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 additions 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 additions activities at the property level. Indirect costs are allocations of certain department costs, including payroll, at the area operations and corporate levels that clearly relate to capital additions activities. We also capitalize interest, property taxes and insurance during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress. We charge to expense as incurred costs that do not relate to capital additions activities, including ordinary repairs, maintenance, resident turnover costs and general and administrative expenses (see Capital Additions and Related Depreciation in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8).

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, for continuing and discontinued operations, we capitalized to buildings and improvements $14.0 million, $11.6 million and $9.8 million of interest costs, respectively, and $25.7 million, $25.3 million and $40.0 million of site payroll and indirect costs, respectively. The reductions in capitalized payroll and indirect costs from 2009 to 2010 are primarily due to a reduced level of redevelopment activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from our operations. Additional sources are proceeds from property sales, proceeds from refinancings of existing property loans, borrowings under new property loans and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Our principal uses for liquidity include normal operating activities, payments of principal and interest on outstanding property debt, capital expenditures, distributions paid to unitholders and distributions paid to noncontrolling interest partners and acquisitions of, and investments in, properties. We use our cash and cash equivalents and our cash provided by operating activities to meet short-term liquidity needs. In the event that our cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities are not sufficient to cover our short-term liquidity needs, 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 needs. We may 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, primarily secured, the issuance of equity securities (including OP Units), the sale of properties and cash generated from operations.

Table of Contents

The availability of credit and its related effect on the overall economy may affect our liquidity and future financing activities, both through changes in interest rates and access to financing. Currently, interest rates are low compared to historical levels and many lenders are active in the market. However, any adverse changes in the lending environment could negatively affect our liquidity. We believe we have mitigated much of this exposure through our reduction in short and intermediate term maturity risk, through refinancing such loans with long-dated, fixed-rate property loans. However, if property financing options become unavailable for our further debt needs, we may consider alternative sources of liquidity, such as reductions in certain capital spending or proceeds from asset dispositions.

As further discussed in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, we are subject to interest rate risk associated with certain variable rate liabilities and preferred OP Units. At December 31, 2011, we estimate that a 1.0 % increase in 30-day LIBOR with constant credit risk spreads would reduce our net income (or increase our net loss) attributable to the Partnership’s common unitholders by approximately $2.0 million on an annual basis. The effect of an increase in 30-day LIBOR may be mitigated by its effect in increasing income earned on our variable rate assets.

We use total rate of return swaps as a financing product to lower our cost of borrowing through conversion of fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. The cost of financing through these arrangements is generally lower than the fixed rate on the debt. As of December 31, 2011, we had total rate of return swap positions with one financial institution with notional amounts totaling $75.0 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received net cash receipts of $10.2 million under the total return swaps, which positively affected our liquidity. During 2011, we reduced significantly the amount of debt subject to total rate of return swaps. Accordingly, we expect the amount of net cash we receive under total rate of return swap arrangements will decrease significantly from what we received during 2011.

The total rate of return swaps require specified loan-to-value ratios which may require us to pay down the debt or provide additional collateral, which may adversely affect our cash flows. At December 31, 2011, we had provided $20.0 million of cash collateral pursuant to the swap agreements to satisfy the loan-to-value requirements. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information regarding these arrangements, including the maturity date of the swaps.

As of December 31, 2011, we had the capacity to borrow $469.5 million pursuant to our revolving credit facility, net of $30.5 million for undrawn letters of credit backed by the revolving credit facility.

At December 31, 2011, we had $91.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $20.3 million from December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, we had $186.7 million of restricted cash, a decrease of $12.5 million from December 31, 2010. Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves and escrows held by lenders for bond sinking funds, capital additions, property taxes and insurance, and escrows related to tenant security deposits. 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 in Item 8.

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2011, our net cash provided by operating activities of $258.8 million was primarily related to operating income from our consolidated properties, which is affected primarily by rental rates, occupancy levels and operating expenses related to our portfolio of properties, and interest related to our non-recourse property debt. Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011, increased $1.3 million compared with the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to changes in working capital from 2010 to 2011, partially attributable to our reductions in offsite costs, substantially offset by the prepayment penalties incurred during 2011 in connection with a series of property financing transactions.

Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2011, our net cash provided by investing activities of $40.5 million consisted primarily of proceeds from the disposition of real estate and the release of capital improvement escrows, and proceeds from the repayment of notes receivable from Aimco, partially offset by capital expenditures, purchases of real estate and the purchase of investments in debt securities.

Table of Contents

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. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we sold or disposed of 67 consolidated properties for an aggregate sales price of $473.5 million, generating proceeds totaling $185.6 million after the amount of property debt repaid upon the sale or assumed by the buyers, and after the payment of transaction costs and debt prepayment penalties. Net cash proceeds from property sales were used primarily fund redevelopment spending on our conventional properties and property investments, including investments in other properties and acquisitions of the noncontrolling interests in certain of our consolidated properties.

Capital expenditures totaled $200.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, and consisted primarily of Capital Improvements and Capital Replacements, and to a lesser extent spending for redevelopment projects and casualties. We generally fund capital additions with cash provided by operating activities, working capital and property sales.

Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2011, net cash used in financing activities of $338.4 million was primarily attributed to debt principal payments, distributions paid to common and preferred unitholders, distributions to noncontrolling interests and our redemption and repurchase of preferred OP Units from Aimco. Proceeds from property loans and our issuance of preferred and common units to Aimco partially offset the cash outflows.

Property Debt

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had $5.2 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, in consolidated property debt outstanding, which included $13.0 million and $276.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, of property debt classified within liabilities related to assets held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we refinanced or closed property loans on 44 properties generating $966.1 million of proceeds from borrowings with a weighted average interest rate of 4.80%, inclusive of the financing transactions discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8. Our share of the net proceeds after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, was $48.2 million. We used these total net proceeds for capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. We intend to continue to refinance property debt primarily as a means of extending current and near term maturities and to finance certain capital projects.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a Senior Secured Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions, which we refer to as the Credit Agreement. During 2011, we entered into the Credit Agreement to replace our prior revolving credit facility and, among other things, increase the revolving commitments from $300.0 million to $500.0 million, extend the maturity from May 2013 (exclusive of a one-year extension option) to December 2014 (exclusive of two one-year extension options), reduce by 1.50% the initial spread we pay over both LIBOR and prime rates, and eliminate the 1.50% LIBOR floor on the facility’s base interest rate that existed in the prior facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on a pricing grid determined by leverage (initially either at LIBOR plus 2.75% or, at our option, a base rate as defined in the Credit Agreement). The revolving credit facility matures December 2014, and may be extended for two additional one-year periods, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 25.0 basis point fee on the total revolving commitments.

As of December 31, 2011, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and we had the capacity to borrow $469.5 million, net of $30.5 million for undrawn letters of credit backed by the revolving credit facility. The proceeds of revolving loans are generally used to fund working capital and for other corporate purposes.

Our Credit Agreement requires us to satisfy, among other customary financial covenants, ratios of EBITDA, to debt service and EBITDA to fixed charges of 1.40:1 and 1.20:1, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, as calculated based on the provisions in our Credit Agreement, we had a ratio of EBITDA to debt service of 1.61:1 and a ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges of 1.37:1. In the first quarter of 2012, the covenant ratios of EBITDA to debt service and EBITDA to fixed charges required by our Credit Agreement will increase to 1.50:1 and 1.30:1, respectively. We expect to remain in compliance with these covenants during 2012.

Partners’ Capital Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we paid cash distributions totaling $56.4 million and $81.6 million to preferred unitholders and common unitholders, respectively.

 

32


Table of Contents

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we paid cash distributions of $46.5 million to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships, primarily related to property sales during 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, Aimco issued approximately 869,200 shares of its 7.00% Class Z Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, in an underwritten public offering and subsequent offerings through an at-the-market, or ATM, offering program, for net proceeds per share of $23.00 (reflecting an average price to the public of $24.25 per share, less underwriting discounts, commissions and transaction costs of approximately $1.25 per share). The offerings generated net proceeds of $20.0 million. Aimco contributed the net proceeds from these issuances to us in exchange for a corresponding number of our 7.00% Class Z Cumulative Preferred Partnership Units.

Also during the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily using the proceeds from its Class Z Cumulative Preferred Stock issuances, Aimco redeemed 862,500 shares (25% of the amount outstanding) of its Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock. This redemption was for cash at a price equal to $25.00 per share, or $21.6 million in aggregate, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends of approximately $0.2 million. Concurrent with this redemption, we redeemed a corresponding number of our Class V Cumulative Preferred Units held by Aimco. Aimco intends to accumulate the proceeds from further ATM issuances of its Class Z Cumulative Preferred Stock and use them for further redemptions of outstanding preferred securities with higher required dividend rates.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, Aimco sold 2.9 million shares of Common Stock under its common stock ATM offering program, generating $73.6 million of gross proceeds, or $71.9 million, respectively, net of commissions. Aimco contributed the net proceeds to us in exchange for an equivalent number of common OP Units. We used the net proceeds primarily to fund the investments discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8.

Pursuant to ATM offering programs active at December 31, 2011, Aimco has the capacity to issue up to 3.5 million and 3.9 million additional shares of its Common Stock and Class Z Cumulative Preferred Stock, respectively. In the event of any such issuances by Aimco, we would issue to Aimco a corresponding number of common OP Units or Class Z Cumulative Preferred Units in exchange for the proceeds. Additionally, we and Aimco have a shelf registration statement that provides for the issuance of debt securities by us and equity securities by Aimco.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired noncontrolling limited partnership interests in 12 consolidated real estate partnerships that own 15 properties and in which our affiliates serve as general partner, for a total cost of $22.3 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2011 we redeemed approximately 237,000 common OP Units held by Limited Partners for cash of $6.1 million.

(3)

Includes a commitment to fund $3.0 million in second mortgage loans on certain properties in West Harlem, New York City, and approximately $9.6 million of obligations related to our redevelopment activities.

In addition to the amounts presented in the table above, at December 31, 2011, we had outstanding $659.7 million (liquidation value) of perpetual preferred OP units held by Aimco with annual dividend yields ranging from 1.6% (variable) to 8.0%, and we had outstanding $82.5 million (liquidation value) of redeemable preferred OP units held by Limited Partners with annual distribution yields ranging from 1.8% to 8.8%, or equal to the distributions paid on common OP Units.

As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, we have notes receivable collateralized by second mortgages on certain properties in West Harlem in New York City. In certain circumstances, the obligor under these notes has the ability to put these properties to us, which would result in a cash payment by us of approximately $30.8 million and our assumption of approximately $118.4 million in property debt. The obligor’s right to exercise the put is dependent upon the achievement of specified operating performance thresholds.

As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, pursuant to financing arrangements on two of our conventional redevelopment properties, we are contractually obligated to complete the planned projects. The majority of the capital spending will be funded from construction financing that will be converted to permanent non-recourse property loans upon completion of the projects. Based on the uncertainty regarding the timing and the final amounts of the expenditures, we have excluded them from the contractual obligations table above.

Additionally, we may enter into commitments to purchase goods and services in connection with the operations of our properties. Those commitments generally have terms of one year or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures.

Future Capital Needs

In addition to the items set forth in “Contractual Obligations” above, we expect to fund any future acquisitions, redevelopment projects, Capital Improvements and Capital Replacements principally with proceeds from property sales (including tax-free exchange proceeds), short-term borrowings, debt and equity financing (including tax credit equity) and operating cash flows.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We own general and limited partner interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships, in which our total ownership interests typically range from less than 1% to 50% and in some instances more than 50%. There are no lines of credit, side agreements, or any other derivative financial instruments related to or between our unconsolidated real estate partnerships and us and no material exposure to financial guarantees. Accordingly, our maximum risk of loss related to these unconsolidated real estate partnerships is limited to the aggregate carrying amount of our investment in the unconsolidated real estate partnerships and any outstanding notes or accounts receivable as reported in our consolidated financial statements (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion of our involvement with variable interest entities and see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information about our involvement with and investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships).

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is to the availability of property debt or other cash sources to refund maturing property debt and to changes in base interest rates and credit risk spreads. Our liabilities are not subject to any other material market rate or price risks. We use predominantly long-term, fixed-rate non-recourse property debt in order to avoid the refunding and repricing risks of short-term borrowings. We use short-term debt financing and working capital 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 use total rate-of-return swaps to obtain the benefit of variable rates on certain of our fixed rate debt instruments. We make limited use of other derivative financial instruments and we do not use them for trading or other speculative purposes.

As of December 31, 2011, on a consolidated basis, we had approximately $220.2 million of variable-rate indebtedness outstanding and $37.0 million of variable rate preferred OP Units outstanding. Of the total debt subject to variable interest rates, floating rate tax-exempt bond financing was approximately $179.0 million. Floating rate tax-exempt bond financing is benchmarked against the Securities Industry and Financial Markets

Association Municipal Swap Index, or SIFMA, rate, which since 1992 has averaged 75% of the 30-day LIBOR rate. If this historical relationship continues, we estimate that an increase in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis points (75 basis points for tax-exempt interest rates) with constant credit risk spreads would result in net income and net income attributable to the Partnership’s common unitholders being reduced (or the amounts of net loss and net loss attributable to the Partnership’s common unitholders being increased) by $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, on an annual basis.

At December 31, 2011, we had approximately $389.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and notes receivable, a portion of which bear interest at variable rates indexed to LIBOR-based rates, and which may mitigate the effect of an increase in variable rates on our variable-rate indebtedness and preferred OP units discussed above.

We estimate the fair value for our debt instruments using present value techniques that include income and market valuation approaches using market rates for debt with the same or similar terms. Present value calculations vary depending on the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In many cases, the fair value estimates may not be realizable in immediate settlement of the instruments. The estimated aggregate fair value of our consolidated debt (including amounts reported in liabilities related to assets held for sale) was approximately $5.4 billion at December 31, 2011, or $4.9 billion on a proportionate basis. The combined carrying value of our consolidated debt (including amounts reported in liabilities related to assets held for sale) was approximately $5.2 billion at December 31, 2011 ($4.7 billion on a proportionate basis). See Note 7 and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further details on our consolidated debt. If market rates for our fixed-rate debt were higher by 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads, the estimated fair value of our debt discussed above would have decreased from $5.4 billion to $5.1 billion (from $4.9 billion to $4.7 billion on a proportionate basis). If market rates for our debt discussed above were lower by 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads, the estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt would have increased from $5.4 billion to $5.8 billion (from $4.9 billion to $5.2 billion on a proportionate basis).

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively, 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, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the General Partner have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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

 

   

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

 

35


Table of Contents
   

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

 

   

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

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

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on their assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

The Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Partners

AIMCO Properties, L.P.

We have audited AIMCO Properties, L.P.’s (the “Partnership”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Partnership’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

In our opinion, the Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Partnership as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, and our report dated February 23, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

The board of directors of the General Partner consists of Terry Considine and Miles Cortez. The officers of Aimco are also the officers of the General Partner and hold the same titles. Additional information required by this item is presented under the captions “Board of Directors and Executive Officers” and “Corporate Governance Matters – Code of Ethics” in the proxy statement for Aimco’s 2012 annual meeting of stockholders and is incorporated herein by reference.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the General Partner’s executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of OP Units, to file reports (Forms 3, 4 and 5) of unit ownership and changes in unit ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Executive officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than ten percent of OP Units are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all such forms that they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and the amendments thereto received by us for the year ended December 31, 2011, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required to be filed by those persons, we believe that during the period ended December 31, 2011, all filing requirements were complied with by the General Partner’s executive officers and directors and beneficial owners of more than ten percent of OP Units.

Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The board of directors of the General Partner does not have a separate audit committee or nominating and corporate governance committee. Based on the structure of the Partnership and its relationship to Aimco, which has a separate audit committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, committees are not warranted for the Partnership. The audit committee of Aimco’s board of directors makes determinations concerning the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for Aimco and its subsidiaries, including the Partnership. In addition, the Aimco audit committee reviews with the independent registered public accounting firm the plans and results of the audit engagement, reviews the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, considers the range of audit and non-audit fees and reviews the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting. The Aimco audit committee currently consists of James N. Bailey, Thomas L. Keltner, J. Landis Martin, Robert A. Miller, Kathleen M. Nelson and Michael A. Stein. Aimco’s board of directors has determined that Michael A. Stein is an “audit committee financial expert.” Aimco’s board of directors has also determined that each member of the audit committee is independent, as that term is defined by Section 303A of the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange relating to audit committees.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Partners

AIMCO Properties, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AIMCO Properties, L.P. (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, partners’ capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying Index to Financial Statements. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Partnership at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2010 the Partnership adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 23, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011

NOTE 1 — Organization

AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or the Partnership, and together with its consolidated subsidiaries was formed on May 16, 1994 to conduct the business of acquiring, redeveloping, leasing, and managing multifamily apartment properties. Our securities include Partnership Common Units, or common OP Units, Partnership Preferred Units, or preferred OP Units, and High Performance Partnership Units, or HPUs, which are collectively referred to as “OP Units.” Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is the owner of our general partner, AIMCO-GP, Inc., or the General Partner, and special limited partner, AIMCO-LP Trust, or the Special Limited Partner. The General Partner and Special Limited Partner hold common OP Units and are the primary holders of outstanding preferred OP Units. “Limited Partners” refers to individuals or entities that are our limited partners, other than Aimco, the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, and own common OP Units or preferred OP Units. Generally, after holding the common OP Units for one year, the Limited Partners have the right to redeem their common OP Units for cash, subject to our prior right to acquire some or all of the common OP Units tendered for redemption in exchange for shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock. Common OP Units redeemed for Aimco Class A Common Stock are generally exchanged on a one-for-one basis (subject to antidilution adjustments). Preferred OP Units and HPUs may or may not be redeemable based on their respective terms, as provided for in the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of AIMCO Properties, L.P. as amended, or the Partnership Agreement.

We, through our operating divisions and subsidiaries, hold substantially all of Aimco’s assets and manage the daily operations of Aimco’s business and assets. Aimco is required to contribute all proceeds from offerings of its securities to us. In addition, substantially all of Aimco’s assets must be owned through the Partnership; therefore, Aimco is generally required to contribute all assets acquired to us. In exchange for the contribution of offering proceeds or assets, Aimco receives additional interests in us with similar terms (e.g., if Aimco contributes proceeds of a preferred stock offering, Aimco (through the General Partner and Special Limited Partner) receives preferred OP Units with terms substantially similar to the preferred securities issued by Aimco).

Aimco frequently consummates transactions for our benefit. For legal, tax or other business reasons, Aimco may hold title or ownership of certain assets until they can be transferred to us. However, we have a controlling financial interest in substantially all of Aimco’s assets in the process of transfer to us. Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our” and “us” refer to the Partnership, and the Partnership’s consolidated entities, collectively. Except as the context otherwise requires, “Aimco” refers to Aimco and Aimco’s consolidated entities, collectively.

At December 31, 2011, after elimination for units held by consolidated entities, we had outstanding 126,813,742 common OP Units, 27,968,177 preferred OP Units and 2,339,950 HPUs. At December 31, 2011, Aimco owned 120,916,294 of the common OP Units and 24,906,727 of the preferred OP Units.

NOTE 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its consolidated entities. Pursuant to a Management and Contribution Agreement between the Partnership and Aimco, we have acquired, in exchange for interests in the Partnership, the economic benefits of subsidiaries of Aimco in which we do not have an interest, and Aimco has granted us a right of first refusal to acquire such subsidiaries’ assets for no additional consideration. Pursuant to the agreement, Aimco has also granted us certain rights with respect to assets of such subsidiaries.

We consolidate all variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Generally, we consolidate real estate partnerships and other entities that are not variable interest entities when we own, directly or indirectly, a majority voting interest in the entity or are otherwise able to control the entity. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

F-10


Table of Contents

Interests held in consolidated real estate partnerships by limited partners other than us are reflected as noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships. The assets of consolidated real estate partnerships owned or controlled by Aimco or us generally are not available to pay creditors of Aimco or the Partnership.

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 partner in a limited partnership or a member in a limited liability company.

Variable Interest Entities

A variable interest entity, or VIE, is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We consolidate all variable interest entities, or VIEs, for which we are the primary beneficiary. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of our investment; the obligation or likelihood for us or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of us and the other investors. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions. See Note 4 for further information regarding our involvement with VIEs.

Acquisition of Real Estate Assets and Related Depreciation and Amortization

We recognize at fair value the acquisition of properties or interests in partnerships that own properties if the transaction results in consolidation and we expense as incurred most related transaction costs. We allocate the cost of acquired properties to tangible assets and identified intangible assets based on their fair values. We determine the fair value of tangible assets, such as land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, generally using internal valuation techniques that consider comparable market transactions, discounted cash flow techniques, replacement costs and other available information. We determine the fair value of identified intangible assets (or liabilities), which typically relate to in-place leases, using internal valuation techniques that consider the terms of the in-place leases, current market data for comparable leases, and our experience in leasing similar properties. The intangible assets or liabilities related to in-place leases are comprised of:

 

  1.

The value of the above- and below-market leases in-place. An asset or liability is recognized based on the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (b) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the period, including estimated lease renewals for below-market leases, that the leases are expected to remain in effect.

 

  2.

The estimated unamortized portion of avoided leasing commissions and other costs that ordinarily would be incurred to originate the in-place leases.

 

  3.

The value associated with vacant units during the absorption period (estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand and stabilized occupancy levels).

The values of the above- and below-market leases are amortized to rental revenue over the expected remaining terms of the associated leases, which include reasonably assured renewal periods. Other intangible assets related to in-place leases are amortized to depreciation and amortization over the expected remaining terms of the associated leases. We prospectively adjust the amortization period to reflect significant variances between actual lease termination activity as compared to those used to determine the historical amortization periods.

Depreciation for all tangible real estate assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Acquired buildings and improvements are depreciated over a composite life of 15 to 52 years, based on the age, condition and other physical characteristics of the property. As discussed under Impairment of Long Lived Assets below, we may adjust depreciation of properties that are expected to be disposed of or demolished prior to the end of their useful lives. Furniture, fixtures and equipment associated with acquired properties are depreciated over five years.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, deferred income in our consolidated balance sheets includes below-market lease amounts totaling $23.6 million and $27.9 million, respectively, which are net of accumulated amortization of $29.2 million and $24.9 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we included amortization of below-market leases of $4.3 million, $3.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in rental and other property revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2011, our below-market leases had a weighted average amortization period of 7.0 years and estimated aggregate amortization for each of the five succeeding years as follows (in millions):

 

September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30,
       2012        2013        2014        2015        2016  

Estimated amortization

     $ 2.9         $ 2.6         $ 2.4         $ 2.1         $ 1.9

Capital Additions and Related Depreciation

We capitalize costs, including certain indirect costs, incurred in connection with our capital additions 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 additions activities at the property level. We characterize as “indirect costs” an allocation of certain department costs, including payroll, at the area operations and corporate levels that clearly relate to capital additions activities. We capitalize interest, property taxes and insurance during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress. We charge to property operating expense as incurred costs that do not relate to capital expenditure activities, including ordinary repairs, maintenance and resident turnover costs.

We depreciate capitalized costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related component or improvement, which is generally five, 15 or 30 years. All capitalized site payroll and indirect costs are allocated proportionately, based on direct costs, among capital projects and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of such projects.

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 years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, for continuing and discontinued operations, we capitalized to buildings and improvements $14.0 million, $11.6 million and $9.8 million of interest costs, respectively, and $25.7 million, $25.3 million and $40.0 million of site payroll and indirect costs, respectively.

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.

Based on periodic tests of recoverability of long-lived assets, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recorded operating real estate impairment losses of $4.3 million, $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to properties classified as held for use.

Our tests of recoverability address 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 loss is not required to be recorded, the recognition of depreciation is adjusted prospectively, as necessary, to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate to its estimated disposition value over the remaining period that the real estate is expected to be held and used. We also may adjust depreciation prospectively to reduce to zero the carrying amount of buildings that we plan to demolish in connection with a redevelopment project. These depreciation adjustments, decreased net income available to the Partnership’s common unitholders by $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $19.6 million, and resulted in increases in basic and diluted loss per unit of less than $0.01, less than $0.01 and $0.16, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Table of Contents

Discontinued Operations

We classify certain properties and related assets and liabilities as held for sale when they meet certain criteria, as defined in GAAP. The operating results of such properties as well as those properties sold during the periods presented are included in discontinued operations in both current periods and all comparable periods presented. Depreciation is not recorded on properties once they have been classified as held for sale; however, depreciation expense recorded prior to classification as held for sale is included in discontinued operations. The net gain on sale and any impairment losses are presented in discontinued operations when recognized. See Note 16 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

Cash Equivalents

We classify highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes capital replacement reserves, completion repair reserves, bond sinking fund amounts, tax and insurance escrow accounts held by lenders and tenant security deposits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are generally comprised of amounts receivable from residents, amounts receivable from non-affiliated real estate partnerships for which we provide property management and other services and other miscellaneous receivables from non-affiliated entities. We evaluate collectability of accounts receivable from residents and establish an allowance, after the application of security deposits and other anticipated recoveries, for accounts greater than 30 days past due for current residents and all receivables due from former residents. Accounts receivable from residents are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $3.3 million and $2.1 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We evaluate collectability of accounts receivable from non-affiliated entities and establish an allowance for amounts that are considered to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable relating to non-affiliated entities are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $2.1 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts from Affiliates

Accounts receivable from affiliates are generally comprised of receivables related to property management and other services provided to unconsolidated real estate partnerships in which we have an ownership interest. We evaluate collectability of accounts receivable balances from affiliates on a periodic basis, and establish an allowance for the amounts deemed to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable from affiliates, which are classified within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, totaled $4.6 million and $8.4 million, and were net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.5 million and $1.5 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Deferred Costs

We defer lender fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining new financing and amortize the amounts over the terms of the related loan agreements. Amortization of these costs is included in interest expense.

We defer leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts and amortize the costs over the terms of the related leases. Amortization of these costs is included in depreciation and amortization.

Notes Receivable and Related Interest Income and Provision for Losses

Our notes receivable generally have stated maturity dates and may require current payments of principal and interest. Repayment of these notes is subject to a number of variables, including the performance and value of the underlying real estate properties and the claims of unaffiliated mortgage lenders, which are generally senior to our claims. Our notes receivable consist of two classes: loans extended by us that we carry at the face amount plus accrued interest, which we refer to as “par value notes;” and “discounted notes,” which includes loans extended by us that were discounted at origination and, to a lesser extent, loans extended by predecessors whose positions we generally acquired at a discount.

We recognize interest income on par value notes as earned in accordance with the terms of the related loan agreements. We recognize interest income on discounted notes that we originated using the effective interest method. We recognize interest income on discounted notes that we acquired 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 closed or entered into certain pending transactions (which include real estate sales,

 

F-13


Table of Contents

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.

We assess the collectability of notes receivable on a periodic basis, which assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of the projected cash flow 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 update our projections of the cash flow of such borrowers annually, and more frequently for certain loans depending on facts and circumstances. 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. Factors that affect this assessment include the fair value of the partnership’s real estate, pending transactions to refinance the partnership’s senior obligations or sell the partnership’s real estate, and market conditions (current and forecasted) related to a particular asset. 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. See Note 6 for further information regarding our notes receivable.

In addition to the notes discussed above, we have notes receivable from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, which we classify within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. These notes are due from partnerships in which we are one of the general partners but do not consolidate the partnership. These loans are typically due on demand, have no stated maturity date and may not require current payments of principal or interest. Notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships totaled $6.7 million and $10.9 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were net of allowances for loan losses of $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships

We own general and limited partner interests in partnerships that either directly, or through interests in other real estate partnerships, own apartment properties. We generally account for investments in real estate partnerships that we do not consolidate under the equity method. Under the equity method, our share of the earnings or losses of the entity for the periods being presented is included in equity in earnings or losses from unconsolidated real estate partnerships, inclusive of our share of impairments and property disposition gains recognized by and related to such entities. Certain investments in real estate partnerships that were acquired in business combinations were determined to have insignificant value at the acquisition date and are accounted for under the cost method. Any distributions received from such partnerships are recognized as income when received.

The excess of the cost of the acquired partnership interests over the historical carrying amount of partners’ equity or deficit is ascribed generally to the fair values of land and buildings owned by the partnerships. We amortize the excess cost related to the buildings over the estimated useful lives of the buildings. Such amortization is recorded as a component of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated real estate partnerships. See Note 4 for further discussion of Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships.

We are also the general partner of and consolidate partnerships that hold investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships that own and operate qualifying affordable housing properties and are structured to provide for the pass-through of tax credits and deductions to their partners. These investments in unconsolidated partnerships, as further described in the discussion of unconsolidated VIEs in Note 4, comprise the majority of our recorded investment in unconsolidated real estate partnerships at December 31, 2011. We evaluate these investments for impairment annually, and recognize an impairment loss when the recorded investment in a partnership exceeds the sum of the estimated remaining tax credits and tax benefits related to the low income housing tax credit partnerships and the expected distributions to be received from these partnerships. Based on our low economic ownership in the consolidated partnerships that own the majority of these investments, substantially all of the recognized impairment losses (which are included in equity in losses of unconsolidated real estate partnerships in our consolidated statements of operations) are attributed to noncontrolling interests and have no significant effect on the amounts of net income or loss attributable to Aimco.

Investments in Available For Sale Securities

As discussed in Note 3, during 2011 we purchased an investment in the first loss and mezzanine positions in a securitization trust which holds certain of our property loans. We designated these investments as available for sale securities and they are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011. These

 

F-14


Table of Contents

investments were initially recognized at their purchase price and the discount to the face value will be accreted into interest income over the expected term of the securities. Based on their classification as available for sale securities, we measure these investments at fair value with changes in their fair value, other than the changes attributed to the accretion described above, recognized as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss within partners’ captial.

Intangible Assets

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, other assets included goodwill associated with our reportable segments of $61.9 million, and at December 31, 2010 assets held for sale included $5.1 million of goodwill allocated to properties sold or held for sale during 2011. We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill that compares the fair value of reporting units with their carrying amounts, including goodwill. We determined that our goodwill was not impaired in 2011, 2010 or 2009.

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we allocated $5.1 million, $4.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, of goodwill related to our reportable segments (conventional and affordable real estate operations) to the carrying amounts of the properties sold or classified as held for sale. The amounts of goodwill allocated to these properties were based on the relative fair values of the properties sold or classified as held for sale and the retained portions of the reporting units to which the goodwill as allocated.

Other assets also includes intangible assets for in-place leases as discussed under Acquisition of Real Estate Assets and Related Depreciation and Amortization.

Capitalized Software Costs

Purchased software and other costs related to software developed for internal use are capitalized during the application development stage and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally five years. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we capitalized software development costs totaling $12.6 million, $8.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, other assets included $31.9 million and $28.1 million of net capitalized software, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recognized amortization of capitalized software of $8.7 million, $10.2 million and $11.5 million, respectively, which is included in depreciation and amortization in our consolidated statements of operations.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships

We report the unaffiliated partners’ interests in the net assets of our consolidated real estate partnerships as noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships within consolidated partners’ capital. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships consist primarily of equity interests held by limited partners in consolidated real estate partnerships that have finite lives. We generally attribute to noncontrolling interests their share of income or loss of consolidated partnerships based on their proportionate interest in the results of operations of the partnerships, including their share of losses even if such attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance within our partners’ capital accounts.

The terms of the related partnership agreements generally require the partnership to be liquidated following the sale of the partnership’s real estate. As the general partner in these partnerships, we ordinarily control the execution of real estate sales and other events that could lead to the liquidation, redemption or other settlement of noncontrolling interests. The aggregate carrying amount of noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships is approximately $270.7 million at December 31, 2011. The aggregate fair value of these interests varies based on the fair value of the real estate owned by the partnerships. Based on the number of classes of finite-life noncontrolling interests, the number of properties in which there is direct or indirect noncontrolling ownership, complexities in determining the allocation of liquidation proceeds among partners and other factors, we believe it is impracticable to determine the total required payments to the noncontrolling interests in an assumed liquidation at December 31, 2011. As a result of real estate depreciation that is recognized in our financial statements and appreciation in the fair value of real estate that is not recognized in our financial statements, we believe that the aggregate fair value of our noncontrolling interests exceeds their aggregate carrying amount. As a result of our ability to control real estate sales and other events that require payment of noncontrolling interests and our expectation that proceeds from real estate sales will be sufficient to liquidate related noncontrolling interests, we anticipate that the eventual liquidation of these noncontrolling interests will not have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

Table of Contents

Changes in our ownership interest in consolidated real estate partnerships generally consist of our purchase of an additional interest in or the sale of our entire interest in a consolidated real estate partnership. The effect on our partners’ capital of our purchase of additional interests in consolidated real estate partnerships during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is shown in our consolidated statements of partners’ capital and further discussed in Note 3. Our purchase of additional interests in consolidated real estate partnerships had no significant effect on our partners’ capital during the year ended December 31, 2009. The effect on our partners’ capital of sales of our entire interest in consolidated real estate partnerships is reflected in our consolidated financial statements as sales of real estate and accordingly the effect on our partners’ capital is reflected as gains on disposition of real estate. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 810, upon our deconsolidation of a real estate partnership following the sale of our partnership interests, we write off the remaining amounts of noncontrolling interest in our consolidated balance sheet related to such partnerships through noncontrolling interests within consolidated net (loss) income attributable to the Partnership’s common unitholders.

Revenue Recognition

Our properties have operating leases with apartment residents with terms averaging 12 months. We recognize rental revenue related to these leases, net of any concessions, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We recognize revenues from property management, asset management, syndication and other services when the related fees are earned and are realized or realizable.

Advertising Costs

We generally expense all advertising costs as incurred to property operating expense. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, for both continuing and discontinued operations, total advertising expense was $11.7 million, $14.2 million and $21.7 million, respectively.

Insurance

We believe that our insurance coverages insure our properties adequately against the risk of loss attributable to fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, and other perils. In addition, we have insurance coverage for substantial portions of our property, workers’ compensation, health, and general liability exposures. Losses are accrued based upon our estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured losses incurred using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on our experience.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize all stock-based employee compensation, including grants of employee stock options, in the consolidated financial statements based on the grant date fair value and recognize compensation cost, which is net of estimates for expected forfeitures, ratably over the awards’ requisite service period. See Note 15 for further discussion of our stock-based compensation.

Tax Credit Arrangements

We sponsor certain partnerships that acquire, develop and operate qualifying affordable housing properties and are structured to provide for the pass-through of tax credits and deductions to their partners. The tax credits are generally realized ratably over the first ten years of the tax credit arrangement and are subject to the partnership’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations for a period of 15 years. Typically, we are the general partner with a legal ownership interest of one percent or less and unaffiliated institutional investors (which we refer to as tax credit investors or investors) acquire the limited partnership interests (at least 99%). At inception, each investor agrees to fund capital contributions to the partnerships and we receive a syndication fee from the investors upon their admission to the partnership.

We have determined that the partnerships in these arrangements are variable interest entities and, where we are general partner, we are generally the primary beneficiary that is required to consolidate the partnerships. When the contractual arrangements obligate us to deliver tax benefits to the investors, and entitle us through fee arrangements to receive substantially all available cash flow from the partnerships, we account for these partnerships as wholly owned subsidiaries, recognizing the income or loss generated by the underlying real estate based on our economic interest in the partnerships. Capital contributions received by the partnerships from tax credit investors represent, in substance, consideration that we receive in exchange for our obligation to deliver tax credits and other tax benefits to the investors, and the receipts are recognized as revenue in our consolidated financial statements when our obligation to the investors is relieved upon delivery of the expected tax benefits.

Table of Contents

Syndication fees and related costs are recognized in income upon completion of the syndication effort. We recognize syndication fees in amounts determined based on a market rate analysis of fees for comparable services, which generally fell within a range of 10% to 15% of investor contributions during the periods presented. Other direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring these arrangements are deferred and amortized over the expected duration of the arrangement in proportion to the recognition of related income. Investor contributions in excess of recognized revenue are reported as deferred income in our consolidated balance sheets.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized $1.0 million of syndication fee income. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized a net $1.0 million reduction of syndication fees due to our determination that certain syndication fees recognized in a prior period were uncollectible. We recognized no syndication fee income during the year ended December 31, 2009. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 we recognized revenue associated with the delivery of tax benefits of $29.1 million, $28.9 million and $36.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, $99.7 million and $114.7 million, respectively, of investor contributions in excess of the recognized revenue were included in deferred income in our consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes

We are treated as a “pass-through” entity for United States Federal income tax purposes and are not subject to United States Federal income taxation. We are subject to tax in certain states. Each of our partners, however, is subject to tax on his allocable share of partnership tax items, including partnership income, gains, losses, deductions and credits, or Partnership Tax Items, for each taxable year during which he is a partner, regardless of whether he receives any actual distributions of cash or other property from us during the taxable year. Generally, the characterization of any particular Partnership Tax Item is determined by us, rather than at the partner level, and the amount of a partner’s allocable share of such item is governed by the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The General Partner is our “tax matters partner” for United States Federal income tax purposes. The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required, to take certain actions on behalf of us with respect to tax matters.

Aimco has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994, and intends to continue to operate in such a manner. Aimco’s current and continuing qualification as a REIT depends on its ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Code, which are related to organizational structure, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership and certain restrictions with regard to owned assets and categories of income. If Aimco qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it will generally not be subject to United States Federal corporate income tax on our taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. This treatment substantially eliminates the “double taxation” (at the corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from an investment in a corporation.

Even if Aimco qualifies as a REIT, it may be subject to United States Federal income and excise taxes in various situations, such as on our undistributed income. Aimco also will be required to pay a 100% tax on any net income on non-arms length transactions between it and a taxable subsidiary (described below) and on any net income from sales of property that was property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course. Aimco and its stockholders may be subject to state or local taxation in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which Aimco transacts business or Aimco’s stockholders reside. In addition, Aimco could also be subject to the alternative minimum tax, or AMT, on our items of tax preference. The state and local tax laws may not conform to the United States Federal income tax treatment. Any taxes imposed on Aimco reduce its and our operating cash flow and net income.

Certain of Aimco’s operations or a portion thereof, including property management, asset management and risk management, are conducted through taxable subsidiaries, which are subsidiaries of the Partnership. A taxable subsidiary is a C-corporation that has not elected REIT status and as such is subject to United States Federal corporate income tax. Aimco uses taxable subsidiaries to facilitate its ability to offer certain services and activities to its residents and investment partners that cannot be offered directly by a REIT. Aimco also uses taxable subsidiaries to hold investments in certain properties.

For Aimco’s taxable subsidiaries, deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for Federal income tax purposes, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. We reduce deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance when we determine based on available evidence that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. We recognize the tax consequences associated with intercompany transfers between the REIT and taxable subsidiaries when the related assets are sold to third parties, impaired or otherwise disposed of for financial reporting purposes.

In March 2008, we were notified by the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, that it intended to examine our 2006 Federal tax return. During June 2008, the IRS issued AIMCO-GP, Inc., our general and tax matters partner, a summary report including the IRS’s proposed adjustments to our 2006 Federal tax return. In addition, in May 2009, we were notified by the IRS that it intended to examine our 2007 Federal tax return. During November 2009, the IRS issued AIMCO-GP, Inc. a summary report including the IRS’s proposed adjustments to our 2007 Federal tax return. These matters are currently pending administratively before IRS Appeals and the IRS has made no determination. We do not expect the 2006 or 2007 proposed adjustments to have any material effect on our unrecognized tax benefits, financial condition or results of operations.

In October 2011, we were notified by the IRS that it intends to examine refund claims related to the carry back of our taxable subsidiary’s 2009 net operating loss. We do not anticipate that this examination will result in any material effect on our unrecognized tax benefits, financial condition or results of operations.

Comprehensive Income or Loss

As discussed in the preceding Investments in Available for Sale Securities section, we have investments that are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive loss within partners’ capital. Additionally, as discussed in Note 9, we recognize changes in the fair value of our cash flow hedges as changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss within partners’ capital. Our consolidated comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, along with the corresponding amounts of such comprehensive loss attributable to Aimco and to noncontrolling interests, is presented within the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, or ASU 2011-05, which revises the manner in which companies present comprehensive income. Under ASU 2011-05, companies may present comprehensive income, which is net income adjusted for the components of other comprehensive income, either in a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or by using two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and may be early adopted. We elected to adopt early ASU 2011-05 and elected to present comprehensive income in separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Earnings per Unit

We calculate earnings per unit based on the weighted average number of common OP Units, common OP Unit equivalents, participating securities and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period (see Note 17).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

Reclassifications and Adjustments

Certain items included in the 2010 and 2009 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation, including adjustments for discontinued operations.

NOTE 3 — Investments in Real Estate and Other Significant Transactions

Investments in Real Estate Properties

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired a vacant, 126-unit property located in Marin County, north of San Francisco, California. We intend to redevelop the property, increasing our investment in the property to $65.0 million or more upon completion. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired noncontrolling interests (approximately 50%) in entities that own four contiguous properties with 142 units located in La Jolla, California.

Property Loan Securitization Transactions

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, we completed a series of related financing transactions that repaid non-recourse property loans that were scheduled to mature between the years 2012 and 2016 with proceeds from new long-term, fixed-rate, non-recourse property loans, or the New Loans. The New Loans, which total $673.8 million, consisted of $218.6 million that closed during the year ended December 31, 2010 and $455.2 million that closed during the year ended December 31, 2011. All of the New Loans have ten year terms, with principal scheduled to amortize over 30 years. Subsequent to origination, the New Loans were sold to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp, or Freddie Mac, which then securitized the New Loans. The securitization trust holds only the New Loans referenced above and the trust securities trade under the label FREMF 2011K-AIV. In connection with the refinancings, during the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $23.0 million in interest expense, consisting of $20.7 million in prepayment penalties and a $2.3 million write off of previously deferred loan costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, as part of the securitization transaction, we purchased for $51.5 million the first loss and mezzanine positions in the securitization trust, which have a face value of $100.9 million and stated maturity dates corresponding to the maturities of the loans held by the trust. We designated these investments as available for sale securities and they are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011. These investments were initially recognized at their purchase price and the discount to the face value will be accreted into interest income over the expected term of the securities. Based on their classification as available for sale securities, we measure these investments at their estimated fair value with changes in their fair value, other than the changes attributed to the accretion described above, recognized as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss within partners’ capital.

Acquisitions of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired noncontrolling limited partnership interests in 12 consolidated real estate partnerships that own 15 properties and in which our affiliates serve as general partner, for a total cost of $22.3 million. We recognized the $36.3 million excess of the consideration paid over the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interests acquired as an adjustment of partners’ capital (which is included in effects of changes in ownership for consolidated entities in our consolidated statements of partners’ capital).

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we acquired noncontrolling limited partnership interests in three consolidated partnerships, in which our affiliates serve as general partner, for total consideration of $21.7 million. This consideration consisted of $13.7 million in cash and $6.9 million in common OP Units and the remainder was other consideration. We recognized the $27.4 million excess of the consideration paid over the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interests acquired as an adjustment of partners’ capital (which is included in effects of changes in ownership for consolidated entities in our consolidated statements of partners’ capital).

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we did not acquire any significant noncontrolling limited partnership interests consolidated real estate partnerships.

Disposition of Interests in Unconsolidated Real Estate and Other

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $2.4 million and $10.6 million, respectively, in net gains on disposition of interests in unconsolidated real estate and other. These gains were primarily related to sales of investments held by consolidated partnerships in which we generally hold a nominal general partner or equivalent interest. Accordingly, substantially all of these gains were attributed to the noncontrolling interests in the consolidated partnerships that held the investments in these unconsolidated partnerships.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized $21.6 million in net gains on disposition of interests in unconsolidated real estate and other. Gains recognized in 2009 primarily consist of $8.6 million related to our receipt in 2009 of additional proceeds related to our disposition during 2008 of an interest in an unconsolidated real estate partnership, $4.0 million from the disposition of our interest in a group purchasing organization, $5.5 million from our disposition during 2009 of interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships and $3.5 million of net gains related to various other transactions.

Restructuring Costs

During 2009, in connection with continued repositioning of our portfolio, we completed organizational restructuring activities that included reductions in workforce and related costs and the abandonment of additional leased corporate facilities and redevelopment projects. Our 2009 restructuring activities resulted in a restructuring charge of $11.2 million, which consisted of severance costs and personnel related costs of $7.0 million; unrecoverable lease obligations of $2.6 million related to space that we will no longer use; the write-off of deferred costs totaling $0.9 million associated with certain redevelopment opportunities that we will no longer pursue; and $0.7 million in other costs.

 

F-19


Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the remaining accruals associated with these restructuring activities were $1.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, for estimated unrecoverable lease obligations from our 2009 restructuring as well as a restructuring initiated during 2008, which will be paid over the remaining terms of the affected leases.

NOTE 4 — Variable Interest Entities

Effective January 1, 2010, we adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, or ASU 2009-17, on a prospective basis. As a result of our adoption of ASU 2009-17, we concluded we were the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated 49 previously unconsolidated partnerships. Those partnerships owned, or controlled other entities that owned, 31 apartment properties. Our direct and indirect interests in the profits and losses of those partnerships ranged from less than 1% to 35%, and averaged approximately 7%. We applied the practicability exception for initial measurement of consolidated VIEs to partnerships that owned 13 properties and accordingly recognized the consolidated assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests at fair value effective January 1, 2010 (refer to the Fair Value Measurements section for further information regarding certain of the fair value amounts recognized upon consolidation). We deconsolidated partnerships that owned ten apartment properties in which we held an average interest of approximately 55%. Our consolidation and deconsolidation of partnerships pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2009-17 resulted in a net increase in total assets, total liabilities and noncontrolling interests of $114.9 million, $91.7 million and $50.9 million, respectively. The net reduction of partners’ capital of $27.6 million consisted of a $30.6 million reduction of partners’ capital from consolidation of partnerships and was partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in partners’ capital due to our deconsolidation of partnerships.

Certain of the partnerships that we consolidated in accordance with ASU 2009-17 had deficits in partners’ capital that resulted from losses or deficit distributions during prior periods when we accounted for our investments in these entities using the equity method. We would have been required to recognize the noncontrolling partners’ share of those losses or a charge to our earnings for the deficit distributions had we consolidated those partnerships in periods prior to 2009 based on then applicable accounting principles. In accordance with our prospective transition method for the adoption of ASU 2009-17 related to our consolidation of previously unconsolidated partnerships, we recorded a $30.6 million charge to our partners’ capital, the majority of which was attributed to the cumulative amount of additional losses or deficit distribution charges that we would have recognized had we applied ASU 2009-17 in periods prior to 2009. Substantially all of the additional losses were attributable to real estate depreciation expense.

As of December 31, 2011, we were the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated, approximately 120 VIEs, which owned 82 apartment properties with 12,888 units. Real estate with a carrying value of $794.7 million collateralized $638.5 million of debt of those VIEs. Any significant amounts of assets and liabilities related to our consolidated VIEs are identified parenthetically on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to our general credit.

As of December 31, 2011, we also held variable interests in 201 VIEs for which we were not the primary beneficiary. Those VIEs consist primarily of partnerships that are engaged, directly or indirectly, in the ownership and management of 254 apartment properties with 14,190 units. We are involved with those VIEs as an equity holder, lender, management agent, or through other contractual relationships. The majority of our investments in unconsolidated VIEs, or approximately $24.0 million at December 31, 2011, are held through consolidated partnerships that are VIEs and in which we generally hold a 1% or less general partner or equivalent interest. Accordingly, substantially all of the investment balances related to these unconsolidated VIEs are attributed to the noncontrolling interests in the consolidated investment partnerships that hold the investments in these unconsolidated VIEs. Our maximum risk of loss related to our investment in these VIEs is generally limited to our equity interest in the consolidated investment partnerships, which is insignificant. The remainder of our investment in unconsolidated VIEs, or approximately $5.3 million at December 31, 2011, is held through consolidated investment partnerships that are VIEs and in which we hold substantially all of the economic interests. Our maximum risk of loss related to our investment in these VIEs is limited to our $5.3 million recorded investment in such entities.

In addition to our investments in unconsolidated VIEs discussed above, at December 31, 2011, we had in aggregate $96.7 million of receivables from unconsolidated VIEs (primarily notes receivable collateralized by second mortgages on real estate properties as further discussed in Note 6) and we had a contractual obligation to advance funds to certain unconsolidated VIEs totaling $3.0 million. Our maximum risk of loss associated with our lending and management activities related to these unconsolidated VIEs is limited to these amounts. We may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any receivables relating to future provision of services to these entities or financial support that we voluntarily provide.

NOTE 5 — Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships

We owned general and limited partner interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships that owned approximately 123, 173 and 77 properties at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We acquired these interests through various transactions, including large portfolio acquisitions and offers to individual limited partners. Our total ownership interests in these unconsolidated real estate partnerships typically ranges from less than 1% to 50% and in some instances more than 50%.

The following table provides selected combined financial information for the unconsolidated real estate partnerships in which we had investments accounted for under the equity method as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

The increase in the number of properties owned by partnerships we account for using the equity method and the related selected combined financial information for such partnerships from 2009 to 2010 was primarily attributed to our adoption of ASU 2009-17 (see Note 4), pursuant to which we consolidated 18 investment partnerships that hold investments in other unconsolidated real estate partnerships. Prior to our consolidation of these investment partnerships, we had no recognized basis in the investment partnerships’ investments in the unconsolidated real estate partnerships and accounted for our indirect interests in these partnerships using the cost method. We generally hold a nominal general partnership interest in these investment partnerships and substantially all of the assets and liabilities of these investment partnerships are attributed to the noncontrolling interests in such entities. The decrease in the number of unconsolidated properties from 2010 to 2011 and the related effect on the selected combined financial information presented is primarily attributed to the sale of our interests in the partnerships owning these properties or the partnerships’ sale of the underling properties, partially offset by our investment during 2011 in unconsolidated entities that own properties in La Jolla, California, which is discussed in Note 3.

At the time we acquired certain of our investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships, the cost of our investment generally exceeded the historical carrying amounts of the partnerships’ net assets. Additionally, we have consolidated various investment partnerships, along with their investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships, at fair values that exceeded the historical carrying amounts of the underlying unconsolidated real estate partnerships’ net assets. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, our aggregate recorded investment in unconsolidated partnerships of $47.8 million and $59.3 million, respectively, exceeded our share of the underlying historical partners’ deficit of the partnerships by approximately $46.5 million and $63.0 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Notes receivable have various annual interest rates ranging between 2.0% and 8.8% and averaging 4.1%. Included in the notes receivable at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are $99.3 million and $103.9 million, respectively, in notes that were secured by interests in real estate or interests in real estate partnerships.

Notes receivable at December 31, 2011 and 2010, include notes receivable totaling $91.2 million and $89.3 million, respectively, from certain entities (the “borrowers”) that are wholly owned by a single individual. We originated these notes in November 2006 pursuant to a loan agreement that provides for total funding of approximately $110.0 million, including $16.4 million for property improvements and an interest reserve, of which $3.0 million had not been funded as of December 31, 2011. The notes mature in November 2016, bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%, are partially guaranteed by the owner of the borrowers, and are collateralized by second mortgages on 84 buildings containing 1,596 residential units and 43 commercial spaces in West Harlem, New York City. In conjunction with the loan agreement, we entered into a purchase option and put agreement with the borrowers under which we may purchase some or all of the buildings and, subject to achieving specified increases in rental income, the borrowers may require us to purchase the buildings (see Note 11). We determined that the stated interest rate on the notes on the date the loan was originated was a below-market interest rate and recorded a $17.4 million discount to reflect the estimated fair value of the notes based on an estimated market interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.0%. The discount was determined to be attributable to our real estate purchase option, which we recorded separately in other assets. Accretion of this discount, which is included in interest income in our consolidated statements of operations, totaled $1.0 million in 2011, and $0.9 million in 2010 and 2009. The value of the purchase option asset will be included in the cost of properties acquired pursuant to the option or otherwise be charged to expense. We determined that the borrowers are VIEs and, based on qualitative and quantitative analysis, determined that the individual who owns the borrowers and partially guarantees the notes is the primary beneficiary.

We recognize interest income as earned on our par value notes receivable, all of which are estimated to be collectible and have not been impaired for the periods presented. Of our total par value notes outstanding at December 31, 2011, notes with balances of $15.0 million have stated maturity dates and the remainder have no stated maturity dates and are governed by the terms of the partnership agreements pursuant to which the loans were extended. At December 31, 2011, none of the par value notes with stated maturity dates were past due.

We recognized interest income, including accretion, of $4.8 million, $4.5 million and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to these notes receivable.

NOTE 7 — Non-Recourse Property Debt

We finance our properties primarily using long-dated, fixed-rate borrowings, each of which is collateralized by a single real estate property and is non-recourse to us. The following table summarizes our property tax-exempt bond financings related to properties classified as held for use at December 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Fixed rate property tax-exempt bonds payable mature at various dates through February 2061. Variable rate property tax-exempt bonds payable mature at various dates through July 2033. Principal and interest on these bonds are generally payable in semi-annual installments with balloon payments due at maturity. Certain of our property tax-exempt bonds at December 31, 2011, are remarketed periodically by a remarketing agent to maintain a variable yield. If the remarketing agent is unable to remarket the bonds, then the remarketing agent can put the bonds to us. We believe that the likelihood of this occurring is remote. At December 31, 2011, our property tax-exempt bond financings related to properties classified as held for use were each secured by one of 29 properties that had an aggregate gross book value of $695.9 million. The decrease in property tax-exempt bonds payable during the year is primarily due to sales and refinancing activities.

At December 31, 2011, property tax-exempt bonds payable with a weighted average fixed rate of 5.8% have been converted to a weighted average variable rate of 2.6% using total rate of return swaps that mature during 2012. These property tax-exempt bonds payable are presented above as variable rate debt at their carrying amounts, or fair value, of $69.2 million. See Note 9 for further discussion of our total rate of return swap arrangements.

Fixed rate property loans payable mature at various dates through December 2052. Variable rate property loans payable mature at various dates through November 2030. Principal and interest are generally payable monthly or in monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at maturity. At December 31, 2011, our property loans payable related to properties classified as held for use were each secured by one of 297 properties that had an aggregate gross book value of $8,176.0 million. The increase in loans payable during the year is primarily due to refinancing activities.

Our consolidated property debt instruments contain covenants common to the type of borrowing. At December 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants pertaining to our consolidated debt instruments.

NOTE 8 — Credit Agreement

During December 2011, we entered into a Senior Secured Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions, which we refer to as the Credit Agreement. In addition to us, Aimco and an Aimco subsidiary are also borrowers under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement replaced our existing revolving credit facility.

As of December 31, 2011, the Credit Agreement consisted of $500.0 million of revolving loan commitments (as compared to revolving loan commitments of $300.0 under our prior revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010). As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had no borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities. As of December 31, 2011, we had the capacity to borrow $469.5 million pursuant to our revolving credit facility, net of $30.5 million for undrawn letters of credit backed by the revolving credit facility.

Borrowings under our Credit Agreement bear interest based on a pricing grid determined by leverage (initially either at LIBOR plus 2.75% or, at our option, a base rate as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement matures December 2014, and may be extended for two additional one-year periods, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 25.0 basis point fee on the total revolving commitments.

The Credit Agreement includes customary financial covenants, including the maintenance of specified ratios with respect to total indebtedness to gross asset value, total secured indebtedness to gross asset value, variable rate debt to total indebtedness, debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage; the maintenance of a minimum adjusted tangible net worth; and limitations regarding the amount of cross-collateralized debt, recourse debt, mezzanine debt and unsecured debt. The Credit Agreement includes other customary covenants, including a restriction on distributions and other restricted payments, but permits distributions during any four consecutive fiscal quarters in an aggregate amount of up to 95% of our funds from operations for such period, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, or such amount as may be necessary to maintain Aimco’s REIT status. We were in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2011.

The lenders under the Credit Agreement may accelerate any outstanding loans if, among other things: we fail to make payments when due (subject to applicable grace periods); material defaults occur under other material debt agreements; certain bankruptcy or insolvency events occur; material judgments are entered against us; we fail to comply

with certain covenants, such as the requirement to deliver financial information or the requirement to provide notices regarding material events (subject to applicable grace periods in some cases); indebtedness is incurred in violation of the covenants; or prohibited liens arise.

NOTE 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments

We have limited exposure to derivative financial instruments. We primarily use long-term, fixed-rate and self-amortizing non-recourse debt to avoid, among other things, risk related to fluctuating interest rates. For our variable rate debt, we are sometimes required by our lenders to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by entering into interest rate swap agreements, which moderate our exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting the interest on variable rate debt to a fixed rate. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are reflected as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, and periodic changes in fair value are included in interest expense or partners’ capital, as appropriate.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $52.3 million, and recorded fair values of $7.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, reflected in accrued liabilities and other in our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2011, these interest rate swaps had a weighted average term of 9.1 years. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and recognize any changes in their fair value as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive loss within partners’ capital to the extent of their effectiveness. Changes in the fair value of these instruments and the related amounts of such changes that were reflected as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive loss within partners’ capital and as an adjustment of earnings (ineffectiveness) are discussed in the Fair Value Measurements section.

If the forward rates at December 31, 2011 remain constant, we estimate that during the next twelve months, we would reclassify into earnings approximately $1.6 million of the unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss. If market interest rates increase above the 3.43% weighted average fixed rate under these interest rate swaps we will benefit from net cash payments due to us from our counterparty to the interest rate swaps.

We have entered into total rate of return swaps on fixed-rate property debt to convert these borrowings from a fixed rate to a variable rate to lower our cost of borrowing. In exchange for our receipt of a fixed rate generally equal to the underlying borrowing’s interest rate, the total rate of return swaps require that we pay a variable rate plus a risk spread. The underlying borrowings are generally callable at our option, with no prepayment penalty, with 30 days advance notice. We have designated the total rate of return swaps as hedges of the risk of overall changes in the fair value of the underlying borrowings. At each reporting period, we estimate the fair value of these borrowings and the total rate of return swaps and recognize any changes therein as an adjustment of interest expense. We evaluate the effectiveness of these fair value hedges at the end of each reporting period and recognize an adjustment of interest expense as a result of any ineffectiveness.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had borrowings payable subject to total rate of return swaps with aggregate outstanding principal balances of $75.0 million and $276.9 million, respectively, that were collateralized by four and 12 properties. These borrowings are reflected as variable rate borrowings in Note 7. We reduced by $201.9 million the amount of debt subject to total rate of return swaps and terminated the associated swaps during the year ended December 31, 2011, in connection with our refinancing of the underlying property debt. Refer to Note 10 for further discussion of fair value measurements related to these arrangements. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, we determined these hedges were fully effective and accordingly we made no adjustments to interest expense for ineffectiveness.

At December 31, 2011, the weighted average fixed receive rate under the total return swaps was 5.8% and the weighted average variable pay rate was 2.6%, based on the applicable index rates effective as of that date. The remaining debt subject to our total rate of return swaps at December 31, 2011, matures in 2036 whereas the corresponding swaps mature in May 2014 (following a two year extension of the swap maturity dates we completed in 2012).

The total rate of return swaps require specified loan-to-value ratios which may require us to pay down the debt or provide additional collateral. At December 31, 2011, we had provided $20.0 million of cash collateral pursuant to the swap agreements, which is included in restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheet. No collateral was required at December 31, 2010.

NOTE 10 — Fair Value Measurements

We measure certain assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements at fair value, both on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. Certain of these fair value measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy defined in FASB ASC Topic 820. When a determination is made to classify a fair value measurement within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 fair value measurements typically also include observable components that can be validated to observable external sources; accordingly, the changes in fair value in the table below are due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

The table below presents information regarding significant items measured in our consolidated financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, consisting of investments in securities classified as available for sale (AFS), interest rate swaps (IR swaps), total rate of return swaps (TRR swaps) and debt subject to TRR swaps (TRR debt) (in thousands):

(1)

The fair value of investments classified as AFS is estimated using an income and market approach with primarily observable inputs, including yields and other information regarding similar types of investments, and adjusted for certain unobservable inputs specific to these investments. The discount to the face value of the investments is accreted into interest income over the expected term of the investments. Our amortized cost basis for these investments, which represents the original cost adjusted for interest accretion less interest payments received, was $53.2 million at December 31, 2011. Although the amortized cost exceeded the fair value of these investments at December 31, 2011, there are no requirements for us to sell these investments prior to their maturity dates and we believe we will fully recover the investments. Accordingly, we believe the impairment in the fair value of these investments is temporary and we have not recognized any of the loss in value in earnings. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion of these investments.

 

(2)

The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using an income approach with primarily observable inputs including information regarding the hedged variable cash flows and forward yield curves relating to the variable interest rates on which the hedged cash flows are based.

 

(3)

Total rate of return swaps have contractually-defined termination values generally equal to the difference between the fair value and the counterparty’s purchased value of the underlying borrowings. We calculate the termination value, which we believe is representative of the fair value, of total rate of return swaps using a market approach by reference to estimates of the fair value of the underlying borrowings, which are discussed below, and an evaluation of potential changes in the credit quality of the counterparties to these arrangements.

 

(4)

This represents changes in fair value of debt subject to total rate of return swaps. We estimate the fair value of debt instruments using an income and market approach, including comparison of the contractual terms to observable and unobservable inputs such as market interest rate risk spreads, collateral quality and loan-to-value ratios on similarly encumbered assets within our portfolio. These borrowings are collateralized and non-recourse to us; therefore, we believe changes in our credit rating will not materially affect a market participant’s estimate of the borrowings’ fair value.

 

(5)

Unrealized gains (losses) for the TRR swaps and TRR debt relate to periodic revaluations of fair value, including revaluations resulting from repayment of the debt at par, and have not resulted from the settlement of a swap position as we have not historically incurred any termination payments upon settlement. These unrealized gains (losses) are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we reduced the aggregate carrying amounts of $108.2 million, $74.2 million and $473.9 million, respectively, to their estimated fair value for real estate assets classified as held for use, or to their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, for real estate assets classified as held for sale. These impairment losses recognized generally resulted from a reduction in the estimated holding period for these assets. In periods prior to classification as held for sale, we evaluated the recoverability of the carrying amounts based on an analysis of the undiscounted cash flows over the anticipated expected holding period.

 

(2)

In connection with our adoption of revised accounting guidance regarding consolidation of VIEs and reconsideration events during the year ended December 31, 2010, we consolidated 17 partnerships at fair value. With the exception of such partnerships’ investments in real estate properties and related non-recourse property debt obligations, we determined the carrying amounts of the related assets and liabilities approximated their fair values. The difference between our recorded investments in such partnerships and the fair value of the assets and liabilities recognized in consolidation resulted in an adjustment of consolidated partners’ capital (allocated between the Partnership and noncontrolling interests) for those partnerships consolidated in connection with our adoption of the revised accounting guidance for VIEs. For the partnerships we consolidated at fair value due to reconsideration events during the year ended December 31, 2010, the difference between our recorded investments in such partnerships and the fair value of the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests recognized upon consolidation resulted in our recognition of a gain, which is included in gain on disposition of unconsolidated real estate and other in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

(3)

We estimate the fair value of real estate using income and market valuation techniques using information such as broker estimates, purchase prices for recent transactions on comparable assets and net operating income capitalization analyses using observable and unobservable inputs such as capitalization rates, asset quality grading, geographic location analysis, and local supply and demand observations.

 

(4)

Refer to the recurring fair value measurements table for an explanation of the valuation techniques we use to estimate the fair value of debt.

 

(5)

As a result of a decline in land values in southern California, we determined our recorded investment in Casden Properties LLC was not fully recoverable, and accordingly recognized an impairment loss ($12.4 million net of tax) during the year ended December 31, 2009 to reduce the investment to its estimated fair value. The investment in Casden Properties LLC is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We estimated the fair value of this investment by estimating the fair value of the real estate assets owned by the entity, using similar valuation techniques to those described in the recurring fair value measurements table, then performing a hypothetical liquidation analysis for the entity to determine the estimated fair value of our interest.

We believe that the aggregate fair value of our cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and short-term debt approximates their aggregate carrying amounts at December 31, 2011 and 2010, due to their relatively short-term nature and high probability of realization. The estimated aggregate fair value of our notes receivable (including notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships, which we classify within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets) was approximately $107.9 million and $116.0 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as compared to their carrying amounts of $117.9 million and $127.6 million, respectively. The estimated aggregate fair value of our consolidated debt (including amounts reported in liabilities related to assets held for sale) was approximately $5.4 billion and $5.6 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as compared to aggregate carrying amounts of $5.2 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, or ASU 2011-04. ASU 2011-04 amended Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments, which primarily require additional fair value disclosures, are to be applied prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect our adoption of ASU 2011-04 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 11 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In connection with our redevelopment and capital improvement activities, we have commitments of approximately $9.6 million related to construction projects, most of which we expect to incur during 2012. Pursuant to financing arrangements on two of our conventional redevelopment properties, we are contractually obligated to complete the planned projects. The majority of the capital spending will be funded from construction financing that will be converted to permanent non-recourse property loans upon completion of the projects.

Additionally, we enter into certain commitments for future purchases of goods and services in connection with the operations of our properties. Those commitments generally have terms of one year or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures.

As discussed in Note 6, we have committed to fund an additional $3.0 million to increase loans secured by certain properties in West Harlem in New York City. In certain circumstances, the obligor on these notes has the right to put these properties to us, which would result in a cash payment by us of approximately $30.8 million and our assumption of approximately $118.4 million in property debt. The exercise of the put is conditioned on the achievement of specified rent levels at the properties.

Tax Credit Arrangements

We are required to manage certain consolidated real estate partnerships in compliance with various laws, regulations and contractual provisions that apply to our historic and low-income housing tax credit syndication arrangements. In some instances, noncompliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and require a refund or reduction of investor capital contributions, which are reported as deferred income in our consolidated balance sheet, until such time as our obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved. The remaining compliance periods for our tax credit syndication arrangements range from less than one year to 14 years. We do not anticipate that any material refunds or reductions of investor capital contributions will be required in connection with these arrangements.

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 our general liability insurance program, and none of which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

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 effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we mediated a previously disclosed dispute with respect to mergers completed early in 2011 in which we acquired the remaining noncontrolling interests in six consolidated real estate partnerships. As a result of the mediation we agreed to pay the limited partners additional consideration of $7.5 million for their partnership units, which is included in the total consideration paid for the noncontrolling interests discussed in Note 3. Claims and stipulations of settlement were filed in Colorado State Court, District of Denver and with the American Arbitration Association during 2011. Final approval of the settlement was granted by the arbitrator in the action before the American Arbitration Association on February 10, 2012. Preliminary approval of the settlement in Colorado State Court was granted on February 17, 2012. A final approval hearing is scheduled for May 14, 2012.

Environmental

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials present on a property, including lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based fuels, and other miscellaneous materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, these materials may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the improper management of these materials on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of these materials through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of these materials is potentially liable under such laws for the proper operation of the disposal facility. 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 responsible for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our properties or properties we acquire or manage in the future.

We have determined that our legal obligations to remove or remediate certain potentially hazardous materials may be conditional asset retirement obligations, as defined in GAAP. Except in limited circumstances where the asset retirement activities are expected to be performed in connection with a planned construction project or property casualty, we believe that the fair value of our asset retirement obligations cannot be reasonably estimated due to significant uncertainties in the timing and manner of settlement of those obligations. Asset retirement obligations that are reasonably estimable as of December 31, 2011, are immaterial to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Operating Leases

We are obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for office space and equipment. In addition, we sublease certain of our office space to tenants under non-cancelable subleases.

Substantially all of the office space subject to the operating leases described above is for the use of our corporate offices and area operations. Rent expense recognized totaled $5.4 million, $6.6 million and $7.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Sublease receipts that offset rent expense totaled approximately $0.8 million, $1.6 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As discussed in Note 3, during the year ended December 31, 2009 as well as the year ended December 31, 2008, we commenced restructuring activities pursuant to which we vacated certain leased office space for which we remain obligated. In connection with the restructurings, we accrued amounts representing the estimated fair value of certain lease obligations related to space we are no longer using, reduced by estimated sublease amounts. At December 31, 2011, approximately $1.5 million related to the above operating lease obligations was included in accrued liabilities related to these estimates.

NOTE 12 — Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the taxable subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

At December 31, 2011, we increased by $0.5 million the valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets related to certain state net operating losses based on a determination that it was more likely than not that such assets will not be realized prior to their expiration.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of our unrecognized tax benefits is presented below (in thousands):

We anticipate a reduction in existing unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months of approximately $0.7 million. Because the statute of limitations has not yet elapsed, our Federal income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2008, and subsequent years and certain of our State income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2006, and subsequent years are currently subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities. Approximately $3.1 million of unrecognized benefit, if recognized, would affect the effective rate. As discussed in Note 2, the IRS had issued us summary reports including its proposed adjustments our 2007 and 2006 Federal tax returns, and the IRS notified us of its intent to examine refund claims related to the carry back of our taxable subsidiary’s 2009 net operating loss. We do not expect the proposed adjustments or the examination to have a material effect on our unrecognized tax benefits, financial condition or results of operations. Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to income taxes in income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations.

In accordance with the accounting requirements for stock-based compensation, we may recognize tax benefits in connection with the exercise of stock options by employees of our taxable subsidiaries and the vesting of restricted stock awards. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we had less than $0.1 million in excess tax benefits from employee stock option exercises and vested restricted stock awards, and we had no such excess tax benefits in the year ended December 31, 2010.

Includes the effect of assets contributed by us to taxable subsidiaries, for which deferred tax expense or benefit was recognized upon the sale or impairment of the asset by the taxable subsidiary.

Income taxes paid totaled approximately $1.2 million, $1.9 million and $4.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

At December 31, 2011, we had net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, of approximately $133.1 million for income tax purposes that expire in years 2027 to 2031. Subject to certain separate return limitations, we may use these NOLs to offset all or a portion of taxable income generated by our taxable subsidiaries. We generated approximately $42.2 million of NOLs during the year ended December 31, 2011, as a result of losses from our taxable subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2011, we had low-income housing and rehabilitation tax credit carryforwards of approximately $8.1 million for income tax purposes that expire in years 2012 to 2030. The deferred tax asset related to these credits is approximately $6.4 million.

NOTE 13 — Notes Receivable from Aimco

As of December 31, 2010, we had notes receivable that we received in exchange for the sale of certain real estate properties to Aimco in December 2000. The notes bore interest at 5.7% per annum and had original principal amounts of $10.1 million. On October 14, 2011, Aimco repaid the then outstanding $18.5 million of outstanding principal and interest due on these notes, using its share of proceeds from a $19.7 million, or $0.15 per unit, special distribution we declared and paid to holders of common OP Units and HPUs on that date.

All classes of preferred OP Units are redeemable by the Partnership only in connection with a concurrent redemption by Aimco of the corresponding Aimco preferred stock held by unrelated parties. All classes of Aimco’s corresponding preferred stock are redeemable at Aimco’s option on and after the dates specified.

 

(2)

For the period from the date of original issuance through March 31, 2015, the distribution rate is a variable rate per annum equal to the Three-Month LIBOR Rate (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the Series A Community Reinvestment Act Perpetual Preferred Units, or CRA Preferred Units) plus 1.25%, calculated as of the beginning of each quarterly dividend period. The rate at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was 1.62% and 1.54%, respectively.

 

(3)

At December 31, 2010, Aimco had an agreement to repurchase from the holder up to $20.0 million in liquidation preference of its CRA Preferred Units at a discount to the liquidation preference. Based on the holder’s ability to require Aimco to repurchase units of CRA Preferred Units pursuant to this agreement, and our corresponding obligation to repurchase from Aimco a corresponding amount of the CRA Preferred Units, the liquidation value of the preferred units subject to repurchase is classified within temporary partners’ capital in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, there were no remaining amounts subject to repurchase.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, Aimco completed various preferred stock issuances and redemptions. Our corresponding issuances of preferred OP Units to Aimco and redemptions of preferred OP Units from Aimco are summarized in the following table (dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts):

During the year ended December 31, 2011, Aimco sold 2.9 million shares of Common Stock under its common stock ATM offering program, generating $73.6 million of gross proceeds, or $71.9 million, respectively, net of commissions. Aimco contributed the net proceeds to us in exchange for an equivalent number of common OP Units.

All classes of preferred OP Units are pari passu with each other and are senior to the common OP Units. None of the classes of preferred OP Units have any voting rights, except the right to approve certain changes to the Partnership Agreement that would adversely affect holders of such class of units. Distributions on all preferred OP Units are subject to being declared by the General Partner. All of the above outstanding classes of preferred OP Units have a liquidation preference per unit of $25, with the exception of the CRA Preferred Units, which have a liquidation preference per unit of $500,000.

The Class One through Class Seven preferred OP Units are redeemable, at the holders’ option. We, at our sole discretion, may settle such redemption requests in cash or cause Aimco to issue shares of its Class A Common Stock in a value equal to the redemption preference. In the event we require Aimco to issue shares to settle a redemption request, we would issue to Aimco a corresponding number of common OP Units. We have a redemption policy that requires cash settlement of redemption requests for the redeemable preferred OP Units, subject to limited exceptions. Accordingly, these redeemable units are classified within temporary capital in our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2011 and 2010, based on the expectation that we will cash settle these units.

Subject to certain conditions, the Class Four, Class Six and Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units are convertible into common OP Units.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately 1,600 and 14,800 preferred OP Units, respectively, were tendered for redemption in exchange for cash. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 no preferred OP Units were tendered for redemption in exchange for shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock.

The following table presents a reconciliation of redeemable preferred units (including the CRA Preferred Units that were subject to a repurchase agreement prior to satisfaction of such agreement during 2011) classified within temporary capital for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

Common OP Units

Common OP Units are redeemable by common OP Unitholders (other than Aimco) at their option, subject to certain restrictions, on the basis of one common OP Unit for either one share of Aimco Class A Common Stock or cash equal to the fair value of a share of Aimco Class A Common Stock at the time of redemption. We have the option to require Aimco to deliver shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock in exchange for all or any portion of the cash requested. When a Limited Partner redeems a common OP Unit for Aimco Class A Common Stock, Limited Partners’ Capital is reduced and Special Limited Partners’ capital is increased. Common OP Units held by Aimco are not redeemable.

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 Aimco Class A Common Stock, and may redeem such units for cash or, at our option, shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, Aimco sold 2,914,000 and 600,000 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to an At-The-Market, or ATM, offering program initiated during 2010, generating $71.9 million and $14.4 million, respectively, of net proceeds. Aimco contributed the net proceeds to us in exchange for an equivalent number of common OP Units.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we acquired the noncontrolling limited partnership interests in certain of our consolidated real estate partnerships in exchange for cash and our issuance of approximately 6,900 and 276,000 common OP Units, respectively. We completed no similar acquisitions of noncontrolling interests during 2009.

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, approximately 237,000, 168,300 and 64,000 common OP Units, respectively, were redeemed in exchange for cash, and during the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 519,000 common OP Units were redeemed in exchange for shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock. No common OP Units were redeemed in exchange for shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock in 2011 or 2010.

As further discussed in Note 15, during 2011, 2010 and 2009, Aimco issued shares of restricted Class A Common Stock to certain officers, employees and independent directors, and we concurrently issued a corresponding number of common OP Units to Aimco.

HPUs

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had outstanding 2,339,950 HPUs. Prior to December 31, 2011, the holders of HPUs were generally restricted from redeeming these units except upon a change of control in the Partnership. Effective December 31, 2011, we amended our partnership agreement to provide that, in lieu of redemption rights upon the occurrence of a change in control of Aimco, holders of HPUs will have redemption rights only commencing after December 31, 2016. The holders of HPUs receive the same amount of distributions that are paid to holders of an equivalent number of common OP Units.

Investment in Aimco

From 1998 through 2001, we completed various transactions with Aimco that resulted in our acquisition of 384,740 shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock. In connection with Aimco’s special dividends paid in 2009 and 2008, Aimco paid a portion of these dividends to us through the issuance of 175,141 shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock, bringing our total investment in Aimco to 559,881 shares. During December 2011, we entered into an agreement with Aimco whereby we assigned our interest in these shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock in exchange for Aimco’s interest in a corresponding number of outstanding common OP Units. Prior to the exchange, our investment in Aimco Class A Common Stock was presented in the accompanying financial statements as a reduction to partners’ capital. The exchange is reflected within partners’ capital as a reclassification between capital accounts during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Registration Statements

Pursuant to Aimco’s ATM offering programs active at December 31, 2011, Aimco had the capacity to issue up to 3.5 million and 3.9 million additional shares of its Class A Common Stock and Class Z Cumulative Preferred Stock, respectively. In the event of any such issuances by Aimco, we would issue to Aimco a corresponding number of common OP Units or Class Z Cumulative Preferred Units in exchange for the proceeds. Additionally, we and Aimco have a shelf registration statement that provides for the issuance of debt securities by us and debt and equity securities by Aimco.

NOTE 15 — Share-Based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans

Stock Award and Incentive Plan

Aimco has a stock award and incentive plan to attract and retain officers, key employees and independent directors. The plan reserves for issuance a maximum of 4.4 million shares, which may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock, or other types of awards as authorized under the plan. At December 31, 2011 there were approximately 1.5 million shares available to be granted under the plan. The plan is administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of Aimco’s board of directors. In the case of stock options, the exercise price of the options granted may not be less than the fair market value of Aimco Class A Common Stock at the date of grant. The term of the options is generally ten years from the date of grant. The options typically vest over a period of one to four or five years from the date of grant. Aimco generally issues new shares upon exercise of options. Restricted stock awards typically vest over a period of three to five years.

When Aimco issues restricted stock and stock options to its employees, we are required to issue common OP Units to Aimco for the same number of shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock that are issued to employees under these arrangements. Upon exercise of the stock options, Aimco must contribute to us the proceeds received in connection with the exercised options. Therefore, the following disclosures pertain to Aimco’s stock options. Our obligations to issue common OP Units under Aimco’s share based compensation plans results in reciprocal accounting treatment in our financial statements.

Refer to Note 2 for discussion of our accounting policy related to stock-based compensation.

We estimated the fair value of our options using a Black-Scholes closed-form valuation model using the assumptions set forth in the table below. The expected term of the options was based on historical option exercises and post-vesting terminations. Expected volatility reflects the historical volatility of Aimco Class A Common Stock during the historical period commensurate with the expected term of the options that ended on the date of grant. The expected dividend yield reflects expectations regarding cash dividend amounts per share paid on Aimco Class A Common Stock during the expected term of the option and the risk-free interest rate reflects the annualized yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury security with a term equal to the expected term of the option. The weighted average fair value of options and our valuation assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

In connection with the special dividends paid during 2008 and 2009, the number of options and exercise prices of all outstanding awards were adjusted based on the market price of our stock on the ex-dividend dates of the related special dividends. This methodology differed from that used to calculate the number of shares issued to holders of Aimco Class A Common Stock, including restricted stock, which was based on a measurement date closer to the payment date of the special dividends. During December 2011, we determined that adjusting the number and strike price of the options based on the ex-dividend date inappropriately diluted the option holders as the fair value of the options before and after each special dividend was not equal, and therefore these adjustments were not in accordance with the provisions of the applicable plans. During 2011, we corrected this error on a retroactive basis, which resulted in the issuance of approximately 514,000 additional options and the reduction of the exercise prices for existing options by approximately $2.00 to $4.00 per option. The resulting adjustments had no significant effect on the intrinsic value of any options exercised or forfeited between the original and the retroactive adjustments. The activity for outstanding stock options during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 in the table above has been revised for the effect of these adjustments.

The intrinsic value of a stock option represents the amount by which the current price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. Options outstanding at December 31, 2011, had an aggregate intrinsic value of $7.1 million and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 3.0 years. Options exercisable at December 31, 2011, had an aggregate intrinsic value of $1.4 million and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 2.6 years. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, was $3.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively. We may realize tax benefits in connection with the exercise of options by employees of Aimco’s taxable subsidiaries. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not recognize any significant tax benefits related to options exercised during these years. During the year ended December 31, 2009, as no stock options were exercised we realized no related tax benefits.

This represents shares of restricted stock issued to holders of restricted stock pursuant to Aimco’s special dividend paid during 2009, which was paid partially through the issuance of shares of common stock. The weighted average grant-date fair value for these shares represents the price of Aimco’s Class A Common Stock on the determination date for that special dividend

The aggregate fair value of shares that vested during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $6.1 million, $4.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Total compensation cost recognized for restricted stock and stock option awards was $5.9 million, $8.1 million and $8.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Of these amounts, $0.5 million, $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, were capitalized. At December 31, 2011, total unvested compensation cost not yet recognized was $7.4 million. We expect to recognize this compensation over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the terms of Aimco’s employee stock purchase plan, eligible employees may authorize payroll deductions up to 15% of their base compensation to purchase shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock at a five percent discount from its fair value on the last day of the calendar quarter during which payroll deductions are made. In 2011, 2010 and 2009, 3,681, 5,662 and 20,076 shares were purchased under this plan at an average price of $24.04, $20.92 and $8.82, respectively. No compensation cost is recognized in connection with this plan. Common OP Units we issue to Aimco in connection with

shares of Aimco’s Class A Common Stock purchased under Aimco’s employee stock purchase plan are treated as issued and outstanding on the date of purchase and distributions paid on such units are recognized as a reduction of partners’ capital when such distributions are declared.

401(k) Plan

We provide a 401(k) defined-contribution employee savings plan. Employees who have completed 30 days of service and are age 18 or older are eligible to participate. We incurred costs in connection with this plan of less than $0.1 million in 2011 and 2010, and $0.6 million in 2009.

NOTE 16 — Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

We report as discontinued operations real estate properties that meet the definition of a component of an entity and have been sold or meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. We include all results of these discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes, in a separate component of income on the consolidated statements of operations under the heading “income from discontinued operations, net.” This treatment resulted in the retrospective adjustment of the 2010 and 2009 statements of operations and the 2010 balance sheet.

We are currently marketing for sale certain real estate properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate whether such properties meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, including whether such properties are expected to be sold within 12 months. Additionally, certain properties that do not meet all of the criteria to be classified as held for sale at the balance sheet date may nevertheless be sold and included in discontinued operations in the subsequent 12 months; thus the number of properties that may be sold during the subsequent 12 months could exceed the number classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2011, we had one property with 300 units classified as held for sale and at December 31, 2010, after adjustments to classify as held for sale properties that were sold or classified as held for sale during 2011, we had 68 properties with an aggregate of 11,212 units classified as held for sale. Amounts classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows (in thousands):

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, discontinued operations includes the results of operations for the periods prior to the date of sale for all properties sold or classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2011.

Gain on dispositions of real estate is reported net of incremental direct costs incurred in connection with the transactions, including any prepayment penalties incurred upon repayment of property loans collateralized by the properties being sold. Such prepayment penalties totaled $14.9 million, $4.5 million and $29.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We classify interest expense related to property debt within discontinued operations when the related real estate asset is sold or classified as held for sale. As discussed in Note 2, during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we allocated $5.1 million, $4.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, of goodwill related to our real estate segment to the carrying amounts of the properties sold or classified as held for sale during the applicable periods. Of these amounts, $4.1 million, $4.1 million and $8.7 million, respectively, were reflected as a reduction of gain on dispositions of real estate and $1.0 million, $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, were reflected as an adjustment of impairment losses.

NOTE 17 — Earnings per Unit

We calculate earnings per unit based on the weighted average number of common OP Units, participating securities, common OP Unit equivalents and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period. We consider both common OP Units and HPUs which have identical rights to distributions and undistributed earnings, to be common units for purposes of the earnings per unit data presented below. The following table illustrates the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per unit for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per unit data):

As of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the common unit equivalents that could potentially dilute basic earnings per unit in future periods totaled 6.8 million, 7.7 million and 9.6 million, respectively. These securities, representing stock options to purchase shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock, have been excluded from the earnings per unit computations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Participating securities, consisting of unvested restricted shares of Aimco stock and shares of Aimco stock purchased pursuant to officer loans, receive dividends similar to shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock and common OP Units totaled 0.5 million, 0.6 million and 0.5 million at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effect of participating securities is reflected in basic and diluted earnings per unit computations for the periods presented above using the two-class method of allocating distributed and undistributed earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the adjustment to compensation expense recognized related to cumulative dividends on forfeited shares of restricted stock exceeded the amount of dividends declared related to participating securities. Accordingly, distributed earnings attributed to participating securities during 2010 and 2009 were reduced to zero for purposes of calculating earnings per unit using the two-class method.

As discussed in Note 14, we have various classes of preferred OP Units, which may be redeemed at the holders’ option. We may redeem these units for cash or at our option, shares of Aimco Class A Common Stock. During the periods presented, no common unit equivalents related to these preferred OP Units have been included in earnings per unit computations because their effect was antidilutive.

NOTE 19 — Transactions with Affiliates

We earn revenue from affiliated real estate partnerships. These revenues include fees for property management services, partnership and asset management services, risk management services and transactional services such as refinancing, construction supervisory and disposition. In addition, we are reimbursed for our costs in connection with the management of the unconsolidated real estate partnerships. These fees and reimbursements for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 totaled $9.8 million, $10.6 million and $18.5 million, respectively. The total accounts receivable due from affiliates, net, which are classified within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, totaled $4.6 million and $8.4 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Additionally, we earn interest income on notes from real estate partnerships in which we are the general partner and hold either par value or discounted notes. These notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships, which we classify within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, totaled $6.7 million and $10.9 million at December

31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we did not recognize a significant amount of interest income on par value notes from unconsolidated real estate partnerships or accretion income on discounted notes from affiliated real estate partnerships.

NOTE 20 — Business Segments

We have two reportable segments: conventional real estate operations and affordable real estate operations. Our conventional real estate operations consist of market-rate apartments with rents paid by the resident and included 198 properties with 62,834 units as of December 31, 2011. Our affordable real estate operations consisted of 172 properties with 20,612 units as of December 31, 2011, with rents that are generally paid, in whole or part, by a government agency.

Our chief operating decision maker uses various generally accepted industry financial measures to assess the performance and financial condition of the business, including: Net Asset Value, which is the estimated fair value of our assets, net of liabilities and preferred equity; Pro forma Funds From Operations, which is Funds From Operations excluding preferred equity redemption related amounts; Adjusted Funds From Operations, which is Pro forma Funds From Operations less spending for Capital Replacements; property net operating income, which is rental and other property revenues less direct property operating expenses, including real estate taxes; proportionate property net operating income, which reflects our share of property net operating income of our consolidated and unconsolidated properties; same store property operating results; Free Cash Flow, which is net operating income less spending for Capital Replacements; Free Cash Flow internal rate of return; financial coverage ratios; and leverage as shown on our balance sheet. Our chief operating decision maker emphasizes proportionate property net operating income as a key measurement of segment profit or loss.

The following tables present the revenues, expenses, net operating income (loss) and income (loss) from continuing operations of our conventional and affordable real estate operations segments on a proportionate basis for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

(2)

Our chief operating decision maker assesses the performance of our conventional and affordable real estate operations using, among other measures, proportionate property net operating income, which excludes depreciation and amortization, provision for operating real estate impairment losses, property management revenues (which are included in rental and other property revenues) and property management expenses and casualty gains and losses (which are included in property operating expenses). Accordingly, we do not allocate these amounts to our segments.

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, for continuing operations, our rental revenues include $110.5 million, $107.6 million and $104.1 million, respectively, of subsidies from government agencies, which exceeded 10% of the combined revenues of our conventional and affordable segments for each of the years presented.
