PART I
Item 1.
Description of Business
General
Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was organized on April 28, 1981, as a Limited Partnership under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act. On July 23, 1981, the Partnership registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 2-72384) and commenced a public offering for the sale of $200,000,000 of limited partnership units (the "Units"). The sale of Units terminated on July 21, 1983, with 200,342 Units sold for $1,000 each, or gross proceeds of $200,342,000 to the Partnership. In accordance with its Partnership Agreement (the original partnership agreement of the Partnership together with all amendments thereto shall be referred to as the "Agreement"), the Partnership has repurchased and retired a total of 1,296.8 Units for a total purchase price of $1,000,000. The Partnership may repurc hase any Units, at its absolute discretion, but is under no obligation to do so. Since its initial offering, the Registrant has not received, nor are limited partners required to make, additional capital contributions. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2011 unless terminated prior to such date.
Upon the Partnership's formation in 1981, Consolidated Capital Equities Corporation ("CCEC") was the Corporate General Partner. In 1988, through a series of transactions, Southmark Corporation ("Southmark") acquired controlling interest in CCEC. In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In 1990, as part of CCEC's reorganization plan, ConCap Equities, Inc. ("CEI") acquired CCEC's general partner interests in the Partnership and in 15 other affiliated public limited partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships"), and CEI replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16 partnerships. The selection of CEI as the sole managing general partner was approved by a majority of the limited partners in the Partnership and in each of the Affiliated Partnerships pursuant to a solicitation of the Limited Partners dated August 10, 1990. &nb sp;As part of this solicitation, the Limited Partners also approved an amendment to the Agreement to limit changes of control of the Partnership. All of CEI's outstanding stock was owned by Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"). Effective February 26, 1999, IPT was merged into Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"). Hence, CEI is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIMCO, a publicly held real estate investment trust.
The Partnership's primary business and only industry segment is real estate related operations. The Partnership was originally formed for the benefit of its Limited Partners (herein so called and together with the General Partner shall be called the "Partners"), to lend funds to Consolidated Capital Equity Partners ("EP"), a California general partnership in which certain of the partners were former shareholders and former management of CCEC, the former Corporate General Partner of the Partnership. See "Status of the Master Loan" for a description of the loan and settlement of EP's bankruptcy.
The Partnership advanced a total of approximately $180,500,000 under the Master Loan (as defined in "Status of the Master Loan"), which was secured by 18 apartment complexes and 4 office complexes. In 1990, the Partnership foreclosed on one of these apartment complexes, The Loft Apartments. In addition, the Partnership acquired a multiple-use building, The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center ("The Sterling"), through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in 1995. The Master Loan matured in November 2000. The General Partner had been negotiating with CCEP with respect to its options which included foreclosing on the properties which collateralized the Master Loan or extending the terms of the Master Loan. The General Partner decided to foreclose on the properties that collateralized the Master Loan. The General Partner began the process of foreclosure or executing deeds in lieu of foreclosure during 2002 on all the properties in CCEP. During August 2002, the General Partner executed deeds in lieu of foreclosure on four of the active properties of CCEP. In addition, one of the properties held by CCEP was sold in December 2002. On November 10, 2003 the Partnership acquired the remaining four properties held by CCEP through a foreclosure sale. As the deeds were executed, title in the properties previously owned by CCEP was transferred to the Partnership subject to the existing liens on such properties, including the first mortgage loans. As a result, during the years ended December 2003 and 2002, the Partnership assumed responsibility for the operations of such properties.
As a result of the foregoing, at December 31, 2005, the Partnership owned seven apartment properties one each in North Carolina, Colorado and Kansas, four in Florida and one multiple-use complex in Pennsylvania. See “Item 2. Properties” below.
The Partnership has no employees. Management and administrative services are provided by the General Partner and by agents retained by the General Partner. Property management services are performed at the Partnership's properties by an affiliate of the General Partner.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
The real estate business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive. There are other residential and commercial properties within the market area of the Partnership's properties. The number and quality of competitive properties, including those residential properties which may be managed by an affiliate of the General Partner in such market area, could have a material effect on the rental market for the apartments and the commercial space at the Partnership’s properties and the rents that may be charged for such apartments and space. While the General Partner and its affiliates own and/or control a significant number of apartment units in the United States, such units represent an insignificant percentage of total apartment units in the United States and competition for the apartments is local.
Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in the Partnership's incurrence of unanticipated expenses. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Likewise, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the handicapped. These and other
Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to the Partnership's properties, or restrict renovations of the properties. Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although the General Partner believes that the Partnership's properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, the Partnership may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and the FHAA.
Both the income and expenses of operating the properties owned by the Partnership are subject to factors outside of the Partnership's control, such as an oversupply of similar properties resulting from overbuilding, increases in unemployment or population shifts, reduced availability of permanent mortgage financing, changes in zoning laws or changes in patterns or needs of users. In addition, there are risks inherent in owning and operating residential and commercial properties because such properties are susceptible to the impact of economic and other conditions outside of the control of the Partnership.
From time to time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, and the United States Department of Homeland Security issue alerts regarding potential terrorist threats involving apartment buildings. Threats of future terrorist attacks, such as those announced by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, could have a negative effect on rent and occupancy levels at the Partnership’s properties. The effect that future terrorist activities or threats of such activities could have on the Partnership’s operations is uncertain and unpredictable. If the Partnership were to incur a loss at a property as a result of an act of terrorism, the Partnership could lose all or a portion of the capital invested in the property, as well as the future revenue from the property.
There have been, and it is possible there may be other, Federal, state and local legislation and regulations enacted relating to the protection of the environment. The Partnership is unable to predict the extent, if any, to which such new legislation or regulations might occur and the degree to which such existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties owned by the Partnership.
The Partnership monitors its properties for evidence of pollutants, toxins and other dangerous substances, including the presence of asbestos. In certain cases environmental testing has been performed which resulted in no material adverse conditions or liabilities. In no case has the Partnership received notice that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to an environmental clean up site.
A further description of the Partnership's business is included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in "Item 7" of this Form 10-K.
Segments
Segment data for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 is included in "Item 8. Financial Statements – Note L" and is an integral part of the Form 10-K.
Status of the Master Loan
Prior to 1989, the Partnership had loaned funds totaling $170,400,000 to EP subject to a nonrecourse note with a participation interest (the "Master Loan"), pursuant to the Master Loan Agreement dated July 22, 1981, between the Partnership and EP. The Partnership secured the Master Loan with deeds of trust or mortgages on real
property purchased with the funds advanced, as well as by the assignment and pledge of promissory notes from the partners of EP.
During 1989, EP defaulted on certain interest payments that were due under the Master Loan. Before the Partnership could exercise its remedies for such defaults, EP filed for bankruptcy protection in a Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. On October 18, 1990, the bankruptcy court approved EP's consensual plan of reorganization (the "Plan"). In November 1990, EP and the Partnership consummated a closing under the Plan pursuant to which, among other things, the Partnership and EP executed an amended and restated loan agreement (the "New Master Loan Agreement"), EP was converted from a California General Partnership to a California Limited Partnership, Consolidated Capital Equity Partners, L.P., ("CCEP"), and CCEP renewed the deeds of trust on all the collateral to secure the New Master Loan Agreement. ConCap Holdings, Inc. ("CHI"), a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CEI, is th e sole General Partner of CCEP and an affiliate of the Partnership. The General Partners of EP became Limited Partners in CCEP. CHI had full discretion with respect to conducting CCEP's business, including managing CCEP's properties and initiating and approving capital expenditures and asset dispositions and refinancings.
For 1992, Excess Cash Flow was generally defined in the New Master Loan Agreement as net cash flow from operations after third-party debt service. Effective January 1, 1993, the Partnership and CCEP amended the New Master Loan Agreement to stipulate that Excess Cash Flow would be computed net of capital improvements. Such expenditures were formerly funded from advances on the Master Loan from the Partnership to CCEP. This amendment and change in the definition of Excess Cash Flow had the effect of reducing income on the investment in the Master Loan by the amount of CCEP's capital expenditures since such amounts were previously excluded from Excess Cash Flow.
Under the terms of the New Master Loan Agreement (as adopted in November 1990), interest accrued at a fluctuating rate per annum adjusted annually on July 15 by the percentage change in the U.S. Department of Commerce Implicit Price Deflator for the Gross National Product subject to an interest rate ceiling of 12.5%. Interest payments were payable quarterly in an amount equal to "Excess Cash Flow". If such Excess Cash Flow payments were less than the current accrued interest during the quarterly period, the unpaid interest was added to principal, compounded annually, and was payable at the loan's maturity. If such Excess Cash Flow payments were greater than the current accrued interest, the excess amount was applied to the principal balance of the loan. Any net proceeds from the sale or refinancing of any of CCEP's properties were paid to the Partnership under the terms of the New Master Loan Agreement. &nb sp;The New Master Loan Agreement matured in November 2000. The General Partner had been negotiating with CCEP with respect to its options which included foreclosing on the properties which collateralized the Master Loan or extending the terms of the loan. The General Partner decided to foreclose on the properties that collateralize the Master Loan. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the General Partner executed deeds in lieu of foreclosure on four of the active properties of CCEP. In addition, one property held by CCEP was sold in December 2002. The foreclosure process on the remaining four properties held by CCEP was completed during the fourth quarter of 2003. As the deeds were executed, title in the properties previously owned by CCEP were transferred to the Partnership, subject to the existing liens on such properties, including the first mortgage loans. As a result, the Partnership assumed responsibility for the operations of such properties during the years ended December 31, 20 03 and 2002, respectively.
Prior to the foreclosure in 2003, the principal balance of the Master Loan due to the Partnership totaled approximately $14,123,000. This amount represented the estimated fair market value of the remaining properties held by CCEP, less the net liabilities owed by the properties. Interest, calculated on the accrual basis, due
to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the Master Loan Agreement, but not recognized in the income statements due to the impairment of the loan, totaled approximately $1,520,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Interest income was recognized on the cash basis in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114. The cumulative unrecognized interest owed on the Master Loan was forgiven by the Partnership when the properties were foreclosed on during 2003 and 2002.

The new mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on October 10, 2005 until the loan matures September 10, 2012, with a fixed interest rate of 5.04% and a balloon payment of approximately $4,076,000 due at maturity. The Partnership may not prepay the new mortgage loan prior to October 10, 2007. On or after this date the Partnership may prepay the outstanding principal balance provided that the Partnership provides at least sixty days prior written notice and pays a prepayment penalty as defined in the loan agreement.

Regency Oaks Apartments | 7,790/unit | 7,000/unit | 97% | 94% |
The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Plantation Gardens Apartments, Palm Lake Apartments, The Dunes Apartments and Regency Oaks Apartments to an increase in marketing outreach and promotions.
The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at The Sterling Commerce Center to improved market conditions.
The General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at The Knolls Apartments to a redevelopment project currently in process. The redevelopment project, which began during the fourth quarter of 2004 is scheduled to be completed during the first quarter of 2006. The low occupancy for the year ended December 31, 2005 was partially due to an annual average of 33 units not available for rent due to ongoing redevelopment work.
As noted under "Item 1. Description of Business", the real estate industry is highly competitive. All of the properties are subject to competition from other residential apartment complexes and commercial properties in the area. The General Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately insured. Each apartment
complex leases properties for terms of one year or less. No residential tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space. With the exception of The Knolls Apartments and Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center, as discussed below, the properties are in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age.
The following is a schedule of the lease expirations of the commercial space for The Sterling Commerce Center for the years beginning 2006 through the maturities of the current leases.
Number of | % of Gross | |||
Expirations | Square Feet | Annual Rent | Annual Rent | |
2006 | 6 | 19,499 | $297,741 | 22.89% |
2007 | 4 | 10,290 | 270,619 | 20.80% |

2011 | 1 | 8,752 | 109,386 | �� 8.41% |
One commercial tenant (The Deveraux Foundation) leases 22.6% of available rental space. No other commercial tenant leases 10% or more of the available space.

Capital Improvements:
The Loft Apartments
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership completed approximately $458,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements, insulation upgrades, asphalt replacement, plumbing upgrades, roof replacement and interior lighting. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2006. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership completed approximately $3,464,000 of capital improvements arising from the redevelopment of the property, which includes capitalized construction period interest of approximately $78,000, real estate taxes of approximately $3,000 and other construction period costs of
approximately $4,000. Approximately 2 units were in redevelopment and not in service at December 31, 2005. Additional capital improvements of approximately $269,000 consisted primarily of floor covering and appliance replacements, air conditioning upgrades, tenant and structural improvements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow, advances from an affiliate of the General Partner and replacement reserves. The property is currently undergoing a redevelopment project in order to become more competitive with other properties in the area in an effort to increase occupancy at the property. Based on current redevelopment plans, the General Partner anticipates the redevelopment to be complete in October 2006 at a total cost of approximately $10,700,000, approximately $2,272,000 of which was completed during 2004. The project is being funded by operating cash flow, partnership reserves and advances from an affiliate of the General P artner. Approximately $1,052,000 was advanced during the year ended December 31, 2005 to pay for redevelopment project costs at this property. The Partnership currently expects to spend approximately $4,964,000 for property redevelopment during 2006. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. In addition, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2006. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
The Knolls Apartments
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership completed approximately $5,724,000 of capital improvements arising from the redevelopment of the property, which includes capitalization of construction period interest of approximately $394,000, real estate taxes of approximately $15,000 and other construction period costs of approximately $26,000. Approximately eight units were in redevelopment and not in service at December 31, 2005. Additional capital improvements of approximately $88,000 consisted primarily of water and sewer upgrades and interior and exterior building improvements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow, advances from an affiliate of the General Partner and capital reserves. The property is currently undergoing a redevelopment project in order to become more competitive with other properties in the area in an effort to increase occupancy at the property. Based on current redevelopment plans, the General Partner anticipates the redevelopment to be complete in February 2006 at a total cost of approximately $8,542,000, approximately $2,104,000 of which was completed during 2004. The project is being funded by operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. Approximately $3,880,000 was advanced during the year ended December 31, 2005 to pay for redevelopment project costs. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. The Partnership currently expects to spend approximately $714,000 for property redevelopment during 2006. In addition, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2006. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
Indian Creek Village Apartments
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership completed approximately $1,238,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering and appliance replacements, roof replacement, wood siding and other wood replacement, heating upgrades, termite prevention, exterior painting and reconstruction of damages to the property caused by a fire in 2004. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow, advances from an affiliate of the General Partner and insurance proceeds. This property is shown as held for sale at December 31, 2005.

Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
Palm Lake Apartments
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership completed approximately $365,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements, wood replacement, roof replacement and exterior painting. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2006. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
The Dunes Apartments
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership completed approximately $156,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering and appliance replacements, swimming pool decking replacement, air conditioning unit replacements, furniture and fixtures, plumbing upgrades and reconstruction of damages to the property caused by Hurricane Jeanne. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2006. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
Regency Oaks Apartments
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership completed approximately $536,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering, air conditioning unit and appliance replacements, roof replacement, major landscaping, structural improvements and reconstruction of damages to the property caused by Hurricanes Charlie, Frances and Jeanne. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2006. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
Capital improvements will be incurred only to the extent of cash available from operations, Partnership reserves or advances from affiliates. To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected, at least in the short term.
Item 3.
Legal Proceedings
In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitledRosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership u nits; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint captionedHeller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 28, 2002, the trial court granted defendants motion to strike the complaint. Plaintiffs took an appeal from this order.
On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action. On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal (the “Appeal”) seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On May 4, 2004, the Objector filed a second appeal challenging the court’s use of a referee and its order requiring Objector to pay those fees.
On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals. With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals vacated the trial court’s order and remanded to the trial court for further findings on the basis that the “state of the record is insufficient to permit meaningful appellate review”. The matter was transferred back to the trial court on June 21, 2005. With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. With respect to the related Heller appeal, on July 28, 2005, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s order striking the first amended complaint.
On August 18, 2005, Objector and his counsel filed a motion to disqualify the trial court based on a peremptory challenge and filed a motion to disqualify for cause on October 17, 2005, both of which were ultimately denied and/or struck by the trial court. On or about October 13, 2005 Objector filed a motion to intervene and on or about October 19, 2005 filed both a motion to take discovery relating to the adequacy of plaintiffs as derivative representatives and a motion to dissolve the anti-suit injunction in connection with settlement. On November 14, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Motion For Further Findings pursuant to the remand ordered by the Court of Appeals. Defendants joined in that motion. On February 3, 2006, the Court held a hearing on the various matters pending before it and has ordered additional briefing from the parties and Objector.
The General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership’s overall operations.
AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week. In June 2005 the Court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues, which allows the plaintiffs to provide notice of the collective action to all non-exempt maintenance workers from August 7, 2000 through the present. Notices have been sent out to all current and former hourly maintenance workers. The opt-in period has not yet closed. Defendants will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action. Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, on September 26, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and on November 5, 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner does not believ e that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Item 4.
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, no matter was submitted to a vote of unitholders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.
PART II
Item 5.
Market for Partnership Equity and Related Partner Matters
The Partnership, a publicly-held limited partnership, offered and sold 200,342 limited partnership units (the "Units") aggregating $200,342,000. The Partnership currently has 8,616 holders of record owning an aggregate of 199,043.2 Units. Affiliates of the General Partner owned 146,406 units or 73.55% at December 31, 2005. No public trading market has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future.
The following table sets forth the distributions made by the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005:
Distributions | ||
Per Limited | ||
Aggregate | Partnership Unit | |
(in thousands) | ||
01/01/03 – 12/31/03 | $ 3,424 (1) | $ 17.11 |
01/01/04 – 12/31/04 | 4,132 (2) | 20.76 |
01/01/05 – 12/31/05 | -- | -- |
(1)
Consists of approximately $1,793,000 of cash from operations and approximately $1,631,000 of cash from sales proceeds from CCEP for sale of Society Park Apartments.
(2)
Consists of approximately $39,000 of cash from operations and approximately $4,093,000 of cash from sales proceeds from the sale of Silverado Apartments in March 2004 and the sale of Tates Creek Village Apartments in June 2004.
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, the timing of debt maturities, refinancings, and/or property sales. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. In light of the amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the General Partner, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital improvement expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners in 2006 or subsequent periods. See “Item 2. Description of Properties – Capital Improvements" for information relating to planned capital improvement expenditures at the properties.
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 146,406 Units in the Partnership representing 73.55% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2005. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that would include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 73.55% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner,
to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

As a result of the sales of Silverado Apartments and Tates Creek Village Apartments to third parties on March 31, 2004 and June 28, 2004, respectively, and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, the information above for the years ending December 2004, 2003, and 2002 reflect the operations of Silverado and Tates Creek Village Apartments as (loss) income from discontinued operations. These two properties were acquired by the Partnership during 2002, so the information for the year ended December 31, 2001 was not impacted.
The Partnership has determined that its investment property, Indian Creek Village Apartments, has met the criteria of SFAS No. 144 and the assets and liabilities of the property have been reclassified as held for sale. Accordingly, the information above for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, and 2002 reflect the operations of Indian Creek Village Apartments as (loss) income from discontinued operations. This property was acquired by the Partnership during 2002, so the information for the year ended December 31, 2001 was not impacted. Subsequent to December 31, 2005 the Partnership sold Indian Creek Village Apartments to a third party.
Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This item should be read in conjunction with "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and other items contained elsewhere in this report.
The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment properties, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment properties, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the General Part ner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership, such as the local economic climate and weather, can adversely or positively affect the Partnership’s financial results.
Results of Operations
2005 Compared to 2004
The Partnership’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $1,460,000 compared to net income of approximately $969,000 for the corresponding period in 2004. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004 is primarily due to an increase in total revenues, a decrease in total expenses and a decrease in the loss from discontinued operations partially offset by the decrease in gain on the sale of Silverado Apartments and Tates Creek Village Apartments and the decrease in gain on foreclosure of real estate.
The Partnership has determined that its investment property, Indian Creek Village Apartments, met the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and the assets and liabilities of the property have been classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005 and 2004. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, at “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 have been restated as of January 1, 2003 to reflect the operations of Indian Creek Village Apartments as income from discontinued operations of approximately $18,000 and $174,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, including revenues of approximately $2,023,000 and $2,122,000, respectively. The operations of Indian Creek Village Apartments for the year ended December 31, 2005 were a loss of approximately $36,000 and include approximately $2,154,000 of revenues generated by the property. Subsequent to
December 31, 2005 the Partnership sold Indian Creek Village Apartments to a third party.
On March 31, 2004, the Partnership sold Silverado Apartments, located in El Paso, Texas, to a third party for $6,650,000. After payment of closing costs, the net sales proceeds received by the Partnership were approximately $6,169,000. The Partnership used a portion of the proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property of approximately $3,248,000. The sale resulted in a gain on sale of investment property of approximately $1,510,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $685,000 as a result of prepayment penalties paid, partially offset by the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium which is included in loss from discontinued operations. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and in conjunction with the sale, a disposition fee of approximately $333,000 was earned by and paid to the General Partner during the year ended December 31, 2 004. Included in (loss) income from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are results of the property’s operations of approximately $(672,000) and $119,000, respectively, including revenues of approximately $339,000 and $1,411,000, respectively.
On June 28, 2004, the Partnership sold Tates Creek Village Apartments, located in Lexington, Kentucky, to a third party for $6,980,000. After payment of closing costs, the net sales proceeds received by the Partnership were approximately $6,420,000. The Partnership used a portion of the proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property of approximately $3,851,000. The sale resulted in a gain on sale of investment property of approximately $206,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $476,000 as a result of prepayment penalties paid, partially offset by the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium which is included in loss from discontinued operations. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and in conjunction with the sale, a disposition fee of approximately $349,000 was earned by and paid to the General Partner during the year ended De cember 31, 2004. Included in (loss) income from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are results of the property’s operations of approximately $(441,000) and $108,000, respectively, including revenues of approximately $704,000 and $1,379,000, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership recognized a reduction of the gain on the sale of Tates Creek Village Apartments of approximately $58,000 due to the revision of the collectibility of receivables expected at the time of the sale.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership received approximately $156,000 from CCEP as the final payment on the Master Loan which is recognized as gain on foreclosure of real estate.
The Partnership’s income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $1,538,000 compared to income from continuing operations of approximately $174,000 for the corresponding period in 2004. The increase in income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004 is due to an increase in total revenues and a decrease in total expenses.
The increase in total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2005 is due to an increase in rental income, partially offset by a decrease in other income. The increase in rental income during the year ended December 31, 2005 is primarily due to an increase in the average rental rates and occupancy at six of the Partnership’s properties and a decrease in bad debt expense at six of the Partnership’s properties, partially offset by a decrease in rental rate at The Sterling Commerce Center and a decrease in occupancy at The Knolls Apartments. The
decrease in other income during the year ended December 31, 2005 is primarily due to a decrease in lease cancellation fees at the Sterling Apartment Homes, The Knolls, Regency Oaks and Plantation Gardens Apartments.
Total expenses decreased during the year ended December 31, 2005 primarily due to decreases in operating and interest expenses and casualty loss, (as discussed below) partially offset by increases in general and administrative and property tax expenses. Operating expense decreased primarily due to decreases in property and maintenance expenses. Property expenses decreased primarily due to reduced utility expenses at The Sterling Commerce Center and the Sterling Apartment Homes, partially offset by increased salary and related benefit expenses at Plantation Gardens Apartments. Maintenance expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in contract services at most of the Partnership’s properties, construction period expenses at The Knolls Apartments that were capitalized as part of the redevelopment project partially offset by an increase in estimated clean up costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005 due to hurricanes Katrina and Wi lma at Plantation Gardens, hurricane Wilma at The Dunes Apartments and cleanup costs from the 2004 hurricanes at The Dunes Apartments, partially offset by a decrease in clean up costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005 from hurricanes in 2004 at Regency Oaks and Palm Lake Apartments. Interest expense decreased primarily due to the capitalization of construction period interest at the Knolls Apartments and the Sterling Apartment Homes due to the redevelopment projects as discussed below. The decrease in interest expense is also due to declining balances on the mortgage notes encumbering the Partnership’s properties due to regularly scheduled principal payments, partially offset by an increase in interest incurred on advances from affiliates. Property tax expense increased due to increases in the assessed values of The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center, Plantation Gardens, Palm Lake and The Dunes Apartments, partially offset by a decrease in the assessed value of Regency Oak Apartments and a refund received during 2004 at Palm Lake Apartments of prior year taxes. No similar refund was received during the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in property tax expense is also due to additional taxes recorded during the year ended December 31, 2005 at Plantation Gardens Apartments as a result of the settlement of appeals of the appraised value of the property. The appeal was settled during the year ended December 31, 2005 and the settled appraised value was higher than the amount anticipated.
During December 2005, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, The Knolls Apartments, incurred damages from frozen pipes. As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership estimates damages to be approximately $63,000. The General Partner anticipates that insurance proceeds to be received will be sufficient to estimated repairs and no loss will result from this event.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, there was a casualty loss of approximately $5,000 recorded at Palm Lake Apartments related to a fire that damaged two apartment units. The loss was the result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $31,000, partially offset by estimated insurance proceeds of approximately $26,000.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Plantation Gardens Apartments sustained damages from Hurricane Wilma. The estimated damages incurred, of approximately $2,760,000, are expected to be covered by insurance proceeds and no loss will result from this event. In addition, the Partnership estimates clean up costs from the hurricane will be approximately $250,000. These costs were not covered by insurance proceeds and are included in operating expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, The Dunes Apartments sustained damages from Hurricane Wilma. The Partnership estimates clean up costs from the hurricane will be approximately
$30,000. These costs were not covered by insurance proceeds and are included in operating expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership’s investment property, Regency Oaks Apartments, sustained damages from Hurricanes Charlie, Frances and Jeanne. The damages incurred totaled approximately $329,000, which will not be covered by insurance proceeds. There was a casualty loss of approximately $204,000 recorded at Regency Oaks Apartments related to the damages to the property caused by the hurricanes during 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2005 the Partnership recognized an additional casualty loss of approximately $105,000 as a result of the write-off of additional undepreciated damaged assets. In 2004, the Partnership estimated total clean up costs from the hurricanes would be approximately $73,000. These costs are not covered by insurance proceeds. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership revised downward the total estimated clean up costs related to hurricane damage and reduced the esti mate by approximately $24,000. The change in estimate is included as a reduction of operating expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership’s investment property, The Dunes Apartments, sustained damages from Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. The damages incurred totaled approximately $62,000, which will not be covered by insurance proceeds. There was a casualty loss of approximately $38,000 recorded at The Dunes Apartments during 2004 related to the damages to the property caused by the hurricanes. During the year ended December 31, 2005 the Partnership recognized an additional casualty loss of approximately $20,000 as a result of the write off of additional undepreciated damaged assets. During 2004, the Partnership estimated total clean up costs from the hurricanes would be approximately $16,000. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the property incurred approximately $35,000 in additional clean up costs which were not covered by insurance proceeds. These costs are included in operating expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, there was a casualty loss of approximately $25,000 recorded at Regency Oaks Apartments related to a fire that damaged four apartment units. The loss was the result of the write off of net property improvements and replacements of approximately $79,000, partially offset by insurance proceeds of approximately $54,000.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership’s investment property, Palm Lake Apartments, sustained damages from Hurricane Frances. The damages incurred were estimated to be approximately $51,000 and were recorded as clean up costs during 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership revised downward the total estimated clean up costs related to hurricane damage and reduced the estimate by approximately $30,000. This income is included in operating expenses and these costs are not covered by insurance proceeds.
During the year ended December 31, 2004 there was a fire at Indian Creek Village Apartments that damaged nine units. The property suffered damages of approximately $482,200. Insurance proceeds of approximately $242,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2004. No loss was recognized in 2004 as additional insurance proceeds were anticipated to cover the damages incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2005, there was a casualty gain of approximately $59,000 recorded as a result of the receipt of additional insurance proceeds of approximately $240,000 related to this fire, net of the write off of net property improvements and replacements of approximately $181,000. This casualty gain is included in loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2005.
General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase in business privilege taxes paid to the City of Philadelphia partially offset by a decrease in the costs of services included in the management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement and costs associated
with the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies.
2004 Compared to 2003
The Partnership’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $969,000 compared to net income of approximately $1,934,000 for the corresponding period in 2003. The decrease in net income for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003 is due to an increase in loss from discontinued operations, a decrease in equity in income from investments and a decrease in gain on foreclosure of real estate recorded in 2004 as discussed below, partially offset by the increase in income from continuing operations and a gain on sale of Silverado and Tates Creek Village Apartments during the year ended December 31, 2004 as discussed below.
The decrease in equity in income from investments for the year ended December 31, 2004 is due to a decrease in the recognition of the Partnership's share of distributions received and recognized as earnings from affiliated partnerships in excess of investment balance during the year ended December 31, 2004. The Partnership assumed investments in three affiliated partnerships during the foreclosure of investment properties from Consolidated Capital Equity Properties (“CCEP”) as discussed below. These investments are accounted for on the equity method of accounting. Distributions from the affiliated partnerships are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance until the investment balance is reduced to zero. When the investment balance has been reduced to zero, subsequent distributions received are recognized as income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnersh ip recognized approximately $18,000 in equity in income from investments related to its allocated share of the income (loss) for the investments. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership received approximately $1,048,000 in distributions from two of the investments. Approximately $1,015,000 of the distribution related to the sale of three properties in Consolidated Capital Growth Fund, an affiliated limited partnership in which the Partnership held a special limited partner interest. Of this amount, approximately $984,000 was recognized as equity in income from investment once the investment balance allocated to those properties had been reduced to zero. The Partnership also recognized equity in income from investment of approximately $45,000 related to its allocated share of the income (loss) for the investments.
On March 31, 2004, the Partnership sold Silverado Apartments, located in El Paso, Texas, to a third party for $6,650,000. After payment of closing costs, the net sales proceeds received by the Partnership were approximately $6,169,000. The Partnership used a portion of the proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property of approximately $3,248,000. The sale resulted in a gain on sale of investment property of approximately $1,510,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $685,000 as a result of prepayment penalties paid partially offset by the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium which is included in loss from discontinued operations. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and in conjunction with the sale, a disposition fee of approximately $333,000 was earned by and paid to the General Partner during the year ended December 31, 20 04.
On June 28, 2004, the Partnership sold Tates Creek Village Apartments, located in Lexington, Kentucky, to a third party for $6,980,000. After payment of closing costs, the net sales proceeds received by the Partnership were approximately $6,420,000. The Partnership used a portion of the proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property of approximately $3,851,000. The sale resulted in a gain on sale of investment property of approximately $206,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on early
extinguishment of debt of approximately $476,000 as a result of prepayment penalties paid, partially offset by the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium which is included in loss from discontinued operations. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and in conjunction with the sale, a disposition fee of approximately $349,000 was earned by and paid to the General Partner during the year ended December 31, 2004.
The Partnership recognized income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 of approximately $174,000 compared to a loss from continuing operations of approximately $335,000 for the corresponding period in 2003. The increase in income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, is due to an increase in total revenues partially offset by an increase in total expenses. The increases in total revenues and total expenses is largely due to the acquisition at a foreclosure sale of four properties (Plantation Gardens, Palm Lake, The Dunes and Regency Oaks Apartments) during November 2003. These properties were acquired at a foreclosure sale due to CCEP's inability to repay the Master Loan to the Partnership and accrued interest. The Master Loan matured in November 2000. The General Partner had been negotiating with CCEP with respect to its options which included foreclosing on the properties which collatera lized the Master Loan or extending the terms of the Master Loan. The General Partner decided to foreclose on the properties that collateralized the Master Loan. The General Partner began the process of foreclosure or executing deeds in lieu of foreclosure during 2002 on all the properties in CCEP. The foreclosure process on the above four properties held by CCEP was completed during the fourth quarter of 2003. As the deeds were executed, title in the properties previously owned by CCEP were transferred to the Partnership, subject to the existing liens on such properties, including the first mortgage loans. As a result, the Partnership assumed responsibility for the operations of such properties during the fourth quarter of 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2004 the Partnership recognized a gain on foreclosure of real estate of approximately $156,000. The gain on the foreclosure was primarily the result of CCEP’s remaining funds being sent to the Partnership as a final payment on the Master Loan. CCEP’s remaining funds were primarily a refund of reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses from an affiliate of the General Partner. During the year ended December 31, 2003 the Partnership recognized a gain on foreclosure of approximately $839,000 which was the excess of the actual fair market value of the properties at the time of the foreclosure sale over the value of the Master Loan balance collateralized by the properties.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the four properties foreclosed in 2003 had income of approximately $188,000, which includes revenues of approximately $8,587,000 compared to income of approximately $107,000, which includes revenues of approximately $683,000, for the corresponding period of 2003. Excluding the operations of the properties foreclosed in 2003, the Partnership’s net income from continuing operations, including equity income from investment, for the year ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $40,000 compared to net income from continuing operations, including equity income from investment, for the year ended December 31, 2003 of approximately $935,000. The decrease in net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003 is due to a decrease in equity income from investment, as discussed above, and an increase in total expenses partially offset by an incr ease in total revenues.
Total expenses, exclusive of the properties foreclosed in 2003, increased during the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily due to an increase in operating and property tax expenses, partially offset by decreases in interest, depreciation and general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses increased primarily due to an increase in property expenses. Property expenses increased primarily due to an increase in utility expenses at The Sterling Commerce Center, The Sterling Apartment Homes, and The Knolls Apartments and an increase in salaries and other related benefits at The Knolls Apartments, and The Loft Apartments and The Sterling
Commerce Center. Interest expense decreased due to principal payments made on the mortgage notes encumbering the Partnership’s properties and a decrease in interest paid for advances from the General Partner. Depreciation expense decreased due to assets becoming fully depreciated at The Sterling Apartment Homes.
General and administrative expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily due to the timing of the payment of a business privilege tax paid to the city of Philadelphia during the year ended December 31, 2003, and reduced legal fees associated with the foreclosures of the properties held by CCEP during 2003 and a decrease in the costs of services included in the management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.
Total revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2004 due to an increase in rental and other income partially offset by a decrease in casualty gain (as discussed below). Rental income increased due to increases in occupancy at The Sterling Commerce Center, The Loft Apartments and The Knolls Apartments and increased average rental rates at The Sterling Apartment Homes, partially offset by reduced average rental rates at The Sterling Commerce Center, The Loft Apartments and The Knolls Apartments and reduced occupancy at The Sterling Apartment Homes.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, there was a casualty gain of approximately $25,000 recorded at The Sterling Apartment Homes related to an electrical fire that damaged two units. This gain was the result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $73,000, net of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $48,000.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, there was a casualty loss of approximately $8,000 recorded at Tates Creek Village Apartments related to an ice storm which resulted in major landscaping damage which is included in (loss) income from discontinued operations. The loss was the result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $39,000, net of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $47,000.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
At December 31, 2005, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $435,000 compared to approximately $955,000 at December 31, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $520,000 since December 31, 2004 due to approximately $12,652,000 of cash used in investing activities, partially offset by approximately $7,971,000 and $4,161,000 of cash provided by operating and financing activities, respectively. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements, partially offset by net receipts from restricted escrow accounts maintained by the mortgage lenders and insurance proceeds received. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds from the refinancing of The Loft Apartments and advances from affiliates of the General Partner partially offset by repayment of mortgage note payable, principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership’s properties, r epayments of advances from affiliates of the General Partner, lease commissions paid and the payment of loan costs. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership received approximately $156,000 from CCEP as the final payment on the Master Loan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership received approximately $15,000 in principal payments on the Master Loan representing proceeds received from the sale of Society Park Apartments.
The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional compliance measures with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these changes, the Partnership expects that it will incur higher expenses related to compliance. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvements needs of its properties. The Partnership currently expects to budget approximately $5,678,000 for 2006 related to redevelopment projects at The Sterling Apartments Homes and The Knol ls Apartments. While the Partnership has no other material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2006. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the properties as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the properties.
It is anticipated that a substantial portion of the costs associated with the redevelopment projects will be funded from advances from affiliates of the General Partner. Other capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations and Partnership reserves. To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership’s distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.
On August 31, 2005, the Partnership obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $4,600,000 on its investment property, The Lofts Apartments, located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The existing mortgage loan with an outstanding principal amount of approximately $3,925,000 was repaid with proceeds from the new mortgage loan. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on October 10, 2005 until the loan matures September 10, 2012, with a fixed interest rate of 5.04% and a balloon payment of approximately $4,076,000 due at maturity. The Partnership may not prepay the new mortgage loan prior to October 10, 2007. On or after this date the Partnership may prepay the outstanding principal balance provided that the Partnership provides at least sixty days prior written notice and pays a prepayment penalty as defined in the loan agreement.
The Partnership's assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Partnership’s properties of approximately $56,559,000 requires monthly payments of principal and interest, and balloon payments of approximately $19,975,000, $24,689,000 and $4,076,000 during 2008, 2010 and 2012, respectively. The General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to such maturity dates. If the properties cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership may risk losing such properties through foreclosure.
The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 (in thousands, except per unit data):
Distributions | ||
Per Limited | ||
Aggregate | Partnership Unit | |
01/01/03 – 12/31/03 | $ 3,424 (1) | $ 17.11 |
01/01/04 – 12/31/04 | 4,132 (2) | 20.76 |
01/01/05 – 12/31/05 | -- | -- |
(1)
Consists of approximately $1,793,000 of cash from operations and approximately $1,631,000 of cash from sales proceeds from CCEP for sale of Society Park Apartments.
(2)
Consists of approximately $39,000 of cash from operations and approximately $4,093,000 of cash from sales proceeds from the sale of Silverado Apartments in March 2004 and the sale of Tates Creek Village Apartments in June 2004.
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, the timing of debt maturities, refinancings, and/or property sales. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. In light of the amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the General Partner, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital improvement expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners in 2006 or subsequent periods.
Other
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 146,406 Units in the Partnership representing 73.55% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2005. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that would include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 73.55% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership received approximately $156,000 from CCEP as the final payment on the Master Loan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership received approximately $15,000 in principal payments on the Master Loan representing proceeds received from the sale of Society Park Apartments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies is included in "Note A – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" which is included in the consolidated financial statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data". The General Partner believes that the consistent application of these policies enables the Partnership to provide readers of the consolidated financial statements with useful and reliable information about the Partnership’s operating results and financial condition. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses dur ing the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Partnership’s accounting policies in many areas. The Partnership
believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Investment properties are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable, and the investment properties foreclosed upon in the third quarter of 2002 and fourth quarter of 2003 were recorded at fair market value at the time of the foreclosures. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.
Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership’s investment properties. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; and changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing. Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Partnership’s assets.
Capitalized Costs Related to Redevelopment and Construction Projects
The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects. Costs associated with redevelopment projects are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.” Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital expenditure activities at the property level. The Partnership capitalizes interest, property taxes and operating costs in accordance with SFAS No. 34 “Capitalization of Interest Costs” during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress.
Revenue Recognition
The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.
The Partnership leases certain commercial space to tenants under various lease terms. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases". Some of the leases contain stated rental increases during their term. For leases with fixed rental increases, rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. For all other leases, minimum rents are recognized over the terms of the leases.
Investment in Master Loan to Affiliates and Interest Income Recognition
The investment in the Master Loan was evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the collateral properties as the collateral was the sole basis of repayment of the loan. The fair value of the remaining collateral properties was based on the fair market value of those properties. If the fair value of a collateral property increased or decreased for other than temporary conditions, then the allowance on the Master Loan was adjusted appropriately.
Item 7a.
Market Risk Factors
The Partnership is exposed to market risks from adverse changes in interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents as well as interest paid on its indebtedness. As a policy, the Partnership does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for its borrowing activities used to maintain liquidity and fund business operations. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Partnership maintains its debt as fixed rate in nature by borrowing on a long-term basis. Based on interest rates at December 31, 2005, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would impact Partnership income by approximately $555,000.
The following table summarizes the Partnership's debt obligations at December 31, 2005. The interest rates represent the weighted-average rates. The fair value of the Partnership’s long term debt at the Partnership’s incremental borrowing rate is approximately $56,765,000.

Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management a nd 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 Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization: Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties (the "Partnership" or "Registrant"), a California Limited Partnership, was formed on April 28, 1981, to lend funds through nonrecourse notes with participation interests (the "Master Loan"). The loans were made to, and the real properties that secured the Master Loan were purchased and owned by, Consolidated Capital Equity Partners, ("EP"), a California general partnership in which certain of the partners were former shareholders and former management of Consolidated Capital Equities Corporation ("CCEC"), the former Corporate General Partner. The Partnership had advanced a total of approximately $180,500,000 to EP and its successor under the Master Loan.
Upon the Partnership's formation in 1981, CCEC, a Colorado corporation, was the Corporate General Partner. In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In 1990, as part of CCEC's reorganization plan, ConCap Equities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "General Partner" or "CEI"), acquired CCEC's General Partner interests in the Partnership and in 15 other affiliated public Limited Partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships") and replaced CCEC as Managing General Partner in all 16 partnerships.
During 1989, EP defaulted on certain interest payments that were due under the Master Loan. Before the Partnership could exercise its remedies for such defaults, EP filed for bankruptcy protection in a Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. On October 18, 1990, the Bankruptcy Court approved EP's consensual plan of reorganization (the "Plan"). In November 1990, EP and the Partnership consummated a closing under the Plan pursuant to which, among other things, the Partnership and EP executed an amended and restated loan agreement (the "New Master Loan Agreement"). EP was converted from a California General Partnership to a California Limited Partnership, Consolidated Capital Equity Partners, L.P. ("CCEP"), and CCEP renewed the deeds of trust on all the collateral to secure the New Master Loan Agreement.
ConCap Holdings, Inc. ("CHI"), a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CEI, was the sole general partner of CCEP and an affiliate of the Partnership. The General Partners of EP became Limited Partners in CCEP. CHI had full discretion with respect to conducting CCEP's business, including managing CCEP's properties and initiating and approving capital expenditures and asset dispositions and refinancings. All of CEI's outstanding stock was owned by Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"). Effective February 26, 1999, IPT was merged into Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"). Hence, CEI is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIMCO, a publicly held real estate investment trust.
The General Partner began the process of foreclosure or executing deeds in lieu of foreclosure during 2002 on all the properties in CCEP. During August 2002, the General Partner executed deeds in lieu of foreclosure on four of the active properties of CCEP. In addition, one of the properties held by CCEP was sold in December 2002. The foreclosure process on the remaining four properties held by CCEP was completed during the fourth quarter of 2003. As the deeds were executed, title in the properties previously owned by CCEP were transferred to the Partnership, subject to the existing liens on such properties, including the first
mortgage loans. As a result, the Partnership assumed responsibility for the operations of such properties. During 2004 the Partnership sold two of its investment properties. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2011 unless terminated prior to such date.
The Partnership now owns and operates seven apartment properties one each in North Carolina, Colorado and Kansas, four in Florida and one multiple-use complex in Pennsylvania.
Basis of Presentation: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 reflect the operations of Silverado Apartments and Tates Creek Village Apartments as (loss) income from discontinued operations due to their sale in 2004. Included in (loss) income from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, are results of the two properties operations of approximately ($1,113,000) and $227,000, respectively, which includes combined revenues of approximately $1,043,000 and $2,790,000. In addition, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations have been restated as of January 1, 2003 to reflect the operations of Indian Creek Village Apartments as (loss) income from discontinued operations as t he property meets the SFAS No. 144 criteria to be classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005. The operations of Indian Creek Village Apartments for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were a loss of approximately $36,000, income of approximately $18,000 and $174,000, respectively, and include approximately $2,154,000, $2,023,000, and $2,122,000, respectively, of revenues generated by the property. The assets and liabilities of the property are shown as held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Principles of Consolidation: The Partnership's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCIP Sterling, L.P., a Pennsylvania Limited Partnership, Kennedy Boulevard Associates II, L.P., Kennedy Boulevard Associates III, L.P., Kennedy Boulevard Associates IV, L.P., and Kennedy Boulevard GP I ("KBGP-I"), a Pennsylvania Partnership. Each of the entities above except KBGP-I are Pennsylvania limited partnerships, and the general partners of each of these affiliated limited and general partnerships are limited liability corporations of which the Partnership is the sole member. Therefore, the Partnership controls these affiliated limited and general partnerships, and consolidation is required. CCIP Sterling, L.P. holds title to The Sterling Apartment Home and Commerce Center ("the Sterling"). All interpartnership transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allocation of Profits, Gains, and Losses: The Agreement provides for net income and net losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes to be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.
Net Income Per Limited Partnership Unit: Net income per Limited Partnership Unit ("Unit") is computed by dividing net income allocated to the Limited Partners by the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of the year. Per Unit information has been computed based on 199,043.2 Units for 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and in banks. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits. Cash balances include approximately $343,000 and $794,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, that are maintained by an affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in cash concentration accounts.
Restricted Escrows: At the time of the 1995 refinancing of The Loft, approximately $60,000 of the proceeds were designated for a Replacement Reserve Fund for certain capital replacements at the property. Additionally, monthly deposits were required pursuant to the mortgage agreement. At December 31, 2004, the balance in this reserve was approximately $103,000. The escrow was released during 2005 in conjunction with the refinancing.
In conjunction with the financing of the Sterling in September 1998, the Partnership is required to make monthly deposits of approximately $17,000 with the mortgage company to establish and maintain a replacement reserve fund designated for repairs and replacements at the property. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the balances were approximately $237,000 and $264,000, respectively.
At the time of refinancing of The Knolls in September 2000, approximately $505,000 of the proceeds were designated for a replacement reserve fund for certain capital replacements. At December 31, 2004 the balance in the replacement reserve fund was approximately $295,000. The remaining balance in the replacement reserve fund was used to fund capital replacements in 2005.
Depreciation: Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the apartment and commercial properties and related personal property. For Federal income tax purposes, the accelerated cost recovery method is used for real property over 19 years for additions after May 8, 1985, and before January 1, 1987. As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, for additions after December 31, 1986, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation of (1) real property additions over 27 ½ years and (2) personal property additions over 5 years.
Deferred Costs: As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, loan costs of approximately $514,000 and $569,000, respectively, less accumulated amortization of approximately $327,000 and $389,000 respectively, are included in other assets. The loan costs are amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements. Amortization expense was approximately $55,000 and $57,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and is included in interest expense. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $54,000 for each of the years 2006 and 2007, approximately $43,000 for 2008 and approximately $9,000 for each of the years 2009 and 2010.
Leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases. Amortization expense was approximately $59,000 and $56,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively and is included in operating expenses and loss from discontinued operations. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, capitalized lease commissions totaled approximately $393,000 and $386,000, respectively, with accumulated amortization of approximately $187,000 and $159,000, respectively.
Tenant Security Deposits: The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease and such deposits are included in receivables and deposits. Deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged its space and is current on rental payments.
Investment Properties: Investment properties consist of six apartment complexes and one multiple-use building consisting of apartment units and commercial space and are stated at cost or at fair market value as determined at the time of the foreclosures in 2002 and 2003. The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects, other tangible property improvements and replacements of existing property components. Costs associated with redevelopment projects are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.” Costs incurred in connection with capital projects are capitalized where the costs of the project exceed $250. Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with t ime spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital expenditure activities at the property level. The Partnership capitalizes interest, property taxes and operating costs in accordance with SFAS No. 34 “Capitalization of Interest Costs” during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership capitalized interest of approximately $472,000, property taxes of approximately $18,000 and operating costs of approximately $30,000, respectively. The Partnership did not capitalize any costs related to interest, property taxes or operating costs during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Expenditures for ordinary repairs, maintenance and apartment turnover costs are expensed as incurred.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. No adjustments for impairment of value were necessary for the years ending December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003.
Discontinued Operations: The Partnership considers investment property held for sale when criteria established by SFAS No. 144 are met. The significant components of SFAS No. 144 criteria for classification as held for sale include the approval of the sale by the General Partner, and limited partners if required by the Partnership Agreement, the investment property is available for immediate sale and the close of the sale is probable within one year. The Partnership believes the satisfaction of these conditions usually occurs when a purchase and sale contract is executed, but may in some instances occur prior to that and in some instances be delayed until the actual close of the sale of the investment property.
The Partnership entered into a contract with a third party to sell Indian Creek Village Apartments during 2005. Accordingly the assets and liabilities related to the property are classified as held for sale on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the operating results of the property are presented in discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003. The Partnership does not record depreciation on an investment property classified as held for sale; however,
depreciation expense recorded prior to its classification as held for sale is included in discontinued operations. The net gain on sale is presented in discontinued operations when recognized. Subsequent to December 31, 2005, Indian Creek Village Apartments was sold to a third party.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", as amended by SFAS No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined in the SFAS as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amounts of its financial instruments (except for long term debt) approximate their fair values due to the short term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates fair value by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be a vailable to the Partnership for similar term, fully amortizing long term debt. The fair value of the Partnership’s long term debt at the Partnership’s incremental borrowing rate is approximately $56,765,000.
Leases: The Partnership leases certain commercial space to tenants under various lease terms. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases". Some of the leases contain stated rental increases during their term. For leases with fixed rental increases, rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. For all other leases, minimum rents are recognized over the terms of the leases and the Partnership fully reserves all balances outstanding over thirty days.
The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.
Segment Reporting: SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. See "Note L" for detailed disclosure of the Partnership's segments.
Advertising: The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs of approximately $413,000, $449,000 and $273,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were charged to operating expense and (loss) income from discontinued operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3, and changes the requirements for the
accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, although early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date SFAS No. 154 was issued. The Partnership does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Note B - Income Taxes
The Partnership has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that it will be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership. Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax returns of its partners.

In conjunction with the payment of local income taxes with respect to The Sterling Apartment Homes and Commerce Center ($220,000, $86,000 and $90,000 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively), which are included in general and administrative expense, the Partnership established a deferred tax asset in the amount of approximately $352,000 and $316,000 for 2005 and 2004. The Partnership has established valuation
allowances in the amount of $352,000 and $316,000, for 2005 and 2004, respectively, against the deferred tax asset, as the Partnership believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Note C - Net Investment in Master Loan
The Partnership was initially formed for the benefit of its limited partners to lend funds to Consolidated Capital Equity Partners ("CCEP"), a California general partnership. The general partner of CCEP is an affiliate of the General Partner.
The Partnership loaned funds to CCEP subject to a nonrecourse note with a participation interest (the "Master Loan"). The loans were made to, and the real properties that secured the Master Loan were purchased and owned by CCEP.
The Master Loan matured in November 2000. The General Partner had been negotiating with CCEP with respect to its options which included foreclosing on the properties which collateralized the Master Loan or extending the terms of the Master Loan. The General Partner decided to foreclose on the properties that collateralized the Master Loan. The General Partner began the process of foreclosure or executing deeds in lieu of foreclosure during 2002 on all the properties in CCEP. During August 2002, the General Partner executed deeds in lieu of foreclosure on four of the active properties of CCEP. In addition, one of the properties held by CCEP was sold in December 2002. On November 10, 2003 the Partnership acquired the remaining four properties held by CCEP through a foreclosure sale. As the deeds were executed, title in the properties previously owned by CCEP was transferred to the Partnership subject to the existin g liens on such properties, including the first mortgage loans. As a result, during the years ended December 2003 and 2002, the Partnership assumed responsibility for the operations of such properties. The results of operations of the four properties foreclosed on in 2002 are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. The results of operations for the four properties foreclosed on in November 2003 are included in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and 2003.
The following table sets forth the Partnership's non-cash activities during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 with respect to the foreclosures of Plantation Gardens, Palm Lake, The Dunes and Regency Oak Apartments in 2003:
2005 | 2004 | 2003 | |
Investment properties (a) | $ -- | -- | $ 38,901 |
Mortgage notes payable (b) | -- | -- | (23,828) |
Master loan, net of allowance (c) | -- | (14,129) | |
Other assets received, net of | |||
other liabilities assumed | -- | 156 | (105) |
Gain on foreclosure of real estate | $ -- | $ 156 | $ 839 |
(a)
Amount represents the estimated fair value of the properties. The fair value was determined by appraisals obtained in September 2000 from an independent third party which have been updated by management using the net operating income of all of the collateral properties capitalized at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of property and adjusted by management for current market conditions, physical condition of each respective property, and other factors.
(b)
Amount represents the present value of the mortgages encumbering the investment properties acquired through foreclosure, discounted at a rate currently available to the Partnership.
(c)
Amount represents the amount of the Master Loan associated with the properties acquired.
In November 2003, the Partnership acquired the four remaining properties held by CCEP: Plantation Gardens Apartments, Regency Oaks Apartments, The Dunes Apartments, and Palm Lake Apartments. These properties were sold at a foreclosure sale due to CCEP's inability to repay the Master Loan and accrued interest. An affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $31,278,000 in order to purchase these properties at the sale. Approximately $523,000 was retained by the court for its costs and was capitalized as acquisition costs by the Partnership and will be amortized over the estimated useful lives of the properties. The advance bore interest at prime plus 2% and the Partnership paid approximately $114,000 in interest expense for the period the loan was outstanding during 2003. The Partnership acquired the properties previously held by CCEP subject to the existing liens on the properties including the first mortgage loans. As a result of the acquisition of these remaining four properties that were held by CCEP, the Partnership recognized a gain on foreclosure of approximately $839,000 which was the excess of the actual fair market value of the properties at the time of the foreclosure sale over the value of the Master Loan balance collateralized by the properties. CCIP intends to continue to operate these properties as residential apartment complexes.
Prior to the acquisition of the four remaining properties held by CCEP at a foreclosure sale in 2003, the principal balance of the Master Loan due to the Partnership totaled approximately $14,144,000 at December 31, 2002. This amount represented the fair market value of the remaining properties held by CCEP at December 31, 2002, less the net liabilities owed by the properties.

The mortgage notes payable are fixed rate mortgages that are non-recourse and are secured by a pledge of the Partnership’s rental properties and by a pledge of revenues from the respective rental properties. The mortgage notes payable include prepayment penalties if repaid prior to maturity. Further, the properties may not be sold subject to existing indebtedness.
On August 31, 2005, the Partnership obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $4,600,000 on its investment property, The Lofts Apartments, located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The existing mortgage loan with an outstanding principal amount of approximately $3,925,000 was repaid with proceeds from the new mortgage loan. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on October 10, 2005 until the loan matures September 10, 2012, with a fixed interest rate of 5.04% and a balloon payment of approximately $4,076,000 due at maturity.

On or after this date the Partnership may prepay the outstanding principal balance provided that the Partnership provides at least sixty days prior written notice and pays a prepayment penalty as defined in the loan agreement.
The mortgages on the foreclosed properties were recorded at their fair value at the time of the foreclosure, which generated a mortgage premium on these mortgages. The fair value of the mortgages was determined based upon the incremental borrowing rate available to the Partnership at the time of foreclosure. The mortgage premium of approximately $1,099,000 is net of accumulated amortization of approximately $522,000. The mortgage premiums are being amortized over the remaining lives of the loans. Amortization expense is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers’ compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $301,000, $282,000 and $212,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a
majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that would include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 73.55% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Note L – Segment Reporting
Description of the types of products and services from which the reportable segment derives its revenues: The Partnership has two reportable segments: residential properties and commercial property. The Partnership’s property segments consist of seven apartment complexes one each in North Carolina, Colorado and Kansas, four in Florida, and one multiple use facility consisting of apartment units and commercial space in Pennsylvania. The Partnership rents apartment units to tenants for terms that are typically less than twelve months. The commercial property leases space to various medical offices, career service facilities, and retail shops at terms ranging from month to month to seven years.
Measurement of segment profit and loss: The Partnership evaluates performance based on segment profit (loss) before depreciation. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
Factors management used to identify the enterprise's reportable segment: The Partnership’s reportable segments are business units (investment properties) that offer different products and services. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they provide distinct services with different types of products and customers.
Segment information for the years ending December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 is shown in the tables below (in thousands). The "Other" Column includes partnership administration related items and income and expense not allocated to reportable segments.

Note M – Fourth-Quarter Adjustments
The Partnership's policy is to record management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement on a quarterly basis, using estimated financial information furnished by an affiliate of the General Partner. For the first three quarters of 2003, these reimbursements of accountable administrative expenses were based on estimated amounts. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Partnership recorded an adjustment to management reimbursements to the General Partner of approximately $221,000, due to a difference in the estimated costs and the actual costs incurred. The actual management reimbursements to the General Partner for the year ended December 31, 2003 were approximately $672,000, as compared to the estimated management reimbursements to the General Partner for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 of approximately $337,000. The adjustment to management reimbursements was included in general and administrative e xpenses. There were no material adjustments to management reimbursements during the fourth quarters of 2004 or 2005.
One of the Partnership’s investment properties is subject to local taxes based upon taxable income and gross receipts. The Partnership's policy is to accrue for these local income taxes using estimated financial information of the investment property. For the first three quarters of 2005, the accruals for these taxes were based on estimated amounts. During the fourth quarter of 2005 the Partnership recorded an adjustment to the estimated taxes due for the year ended December 31, 2005 of approximately $130,000, due primarily to higher than estimated revenues and lower than estimated operating expenses for the investment property. The actual Partnership taxes to the local governmental agency for the year ended December 31, 2005 were approximately $220,000 as compared to the estimated local taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of approximately $68,000. The adjustment to local taxes was included in general and admin istrative expenses. There were no material adjustments to local taxes during the fourth quarters of 2004 or 2003.
Note N - Contingencies
In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitledRosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as
defendants, among others, the Partnership, its General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint captionedHeller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 28, 2002, the trial court granted defendants motion to strike the complaint. Plaintiffs took an appeal from this order.
On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action. On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal (the “Appeal”) seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On May 4, 2004, the Objector filed a second appeal challenging the court’s use of a referee and its order requiring Objector to pay those fees.
On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals. With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals vacated the trial court’s order and remanded to the trial court for further findings on the basis that the “state of the record is insufficient to permit meaningful appellate review”. The matter was transferred back to the trial court on June 21, 2005. With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. With respect to the related Heller appeal, on July 28, 2005, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s order striking the first amended complaint.
On August 18, 2005, Objector and his counsel filed a motion to disqualify the trial court based on a peremptory challenge and filed a motion to disqualify for cause on October 17, 2005, both of which were ultimately denied and/or struck by the trial court. On or about October 13, 2005 Objector filed a motion to intervene and on or about October 19, 2005 filed both a motion to take discovery relating to the adequacy of plaintiffs as derivative representatives and a motion to dissolve the anti-suit injunction in connection with settlement. On November 14, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Motion For Further Findings pursuant to the remand ordered by the Court of Appeals. Defendants joined in that motion. On February 3, 2006, the Court held a hearing on the various matters pending before it and has ordered additional briefing from the parties and Objector.
The General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership’s overall operations.
AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week. In June 2005 the Court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues, which allows the plaintiffs to provide notice of the collective action to all non-exempt maintenance workers from August 7, 2000 through the present. Notices have been sent out to all current and former hourly maintenance workers. The opt-in period has not yet closed. Defendants will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action. Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, on September 26, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and on November 5, 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Similarly, the General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment properties that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.
Environmental
Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the
disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of its properties, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its properties.
Mold
The Partnership is aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. The Partnership has only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. Affiliates of the General Partner have implemented a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from its properties and the General Partner believes that these measures will minimize the effects that mold could have on residents. To date, the Partnership has not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change the General Partner can make no assurance that liabi lities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
SEC Investigation
On December 19, 2005, AIMCO announced that the Central Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) has informed AIMCO that its investigation has been recommended for termination and no enforcement action has been recommended to the Commission regarding AIMCO.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for (i) certain payments to affiliates for services and (ii) reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership was charged by affiliates approximately $1,243,000, $1,248,000 and $948,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which is included in operating expenses and (loss) income from discontinued operations. At December 31, 2005 approximately $6,000 of these fees remain unpaid and are included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheet included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.
Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $1,282,000, $930,000 and $717,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively which is included in general and administrative expenses, assets held for sale and investment properties.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, the first three quarters were based on estimated amounts and in the fourth quarter of 2003, the reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses was adjusted based on actual costs (see "Note M"). At December 31, 2005, approximately $140,000 of the accountable administrative expenses remain unpaid and are included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheet included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. The unpaid balance of approximately $140,000 was paid subsequent to December 31, 2005.

Subsequent to December 31, 2005, the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $3,665,000 for expenses at Plantation Gardens, The Knolls, The Loft, The Dunes and The Sterling Apartments and for redevelopment at T he Sterling and The Knolls Apartments, and capital expenditures at The Dunes Apartments. Subsequent to December 31, 2005, the Partnership made payments on the outstanding loans and accrued interest of approximately $5,401,000.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $2,391,000 for expenses at the Partnership's properties and to fund redevelopment costs at The Sterling Apartment Homes and The Knolls Apartments during the year ended December 31, 2004. Interest was charged at the prime rate plus 2% and amounted to approximately $20,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. There were no payments made on outstanding loans during the year ended December 31, 2004.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $220,000 for expenses at four of the Partnership's properties during the year ended December 31, 2003. This advance was repaid in full prior to December 31, 2003. Interest was charged at the prime rate plus 2% and amounted to less than $1,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
In November 2003, an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $31,278,000 to acquire the last four properties held by CCEP at a foreclosure sale (See “Note C”). The advance was repaid prior to the year ended December 31, 2003. Interest was charged at the prime rate plus 2% and amounted to approximately $114,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003.
The Partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers’ compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $301,000, $282,000 and $212,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 146,406 Units in the Partnership representing 73.55% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2005. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional
Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that would include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 73.55% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into co nflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.
