NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ConCap Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner"), which is ultimately owned by Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicati ve of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
As of December 31, 2005, 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 its assets and liabilities were shown as held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
As a result of the sale of Indian Creek Village Apartments to a third party during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and in accordance with SFAS No. 144 the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 has been restated as of January 1, 2005 to reflect the operations of Indian Creek Village Apartments as loss from discontinued operations. Included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are results of the property’s operations of approximately $461,000 and $11,000, respectively, including revenues of approximately $359,000 and $517,000, respectively.
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 E" for detailed disclosure of the Partnership's segments).
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. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 154 effective January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Note B – Related Party 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 paid to such affiliates approximately $319,000 and $307,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which is included in operating expenses and loss from discontinued operations.
Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $491,000 and $360,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively which is included in general and administrative expenses, gain on sale of discontinued operations, investment properties and assets held for sale.

The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $464,000 for hazard insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2006 as other insurance policies renew later in the year.

These investments were assumed during the foreclosure of investment properties from CCEP and 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 statements of operations. There were no distributions received and no equity in income of investment recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
Note D - Sale of Investment Property
On February 27, 2006, the Partnership sold Indian Creek Village Apartments, located in Overland Park, Kansas, to a third party for $14,900,000. The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $14,636,000 after payment of closing costs. The Partnership used approximately $7,572,000 and $757,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property and a prepayment penalty related to the mortgage encumbering the property. The Partnership used approximately $5,541,000 of the net proceeds to make a partial payment on amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the General Partner. The Partnership retained the remaining net proceeds for reserves. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2,465,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $481,000 as a result of prepayment penalties paid partially offset by t he write off of the unamortized mortgage premium which is included in loss from discontinued operations. Included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are results of the property’s operations of approximately $461,000 and $11,000, respectively, including revenues of approximately $359,000 and $517,000, respectively.
Note E – 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 six apartment complexes one each in North Carolina and Colorado, 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 included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
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 three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 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. The Residential segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2005 has been restated to exclude Indian Creek Village Apartments as a result of its sale during the first quarter of 2006.

Note G – 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 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 parties and Objector submitted one final round of briefing to the Court and the mat ter has been submitted for the Court’s decision.
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. Although 1,049 individuals opted-in to the class the defendants will be challenging the eligibility and timeliness of some. Defendants will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action with briefing that commences in August. 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. The California case has been stayed, while discovery in the Maryland case proceeds. 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.

The General Partner is addressing the low occupancy at The Knolls Apartment with a redevelopment project currently in process. The redevelopment project, which began during the fourth quarter of 2004 is scheduled to be completed during 2006. The low occupancy for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was partially due to ongoing redevelopment work.
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
The Partnership’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $2,509,000 compared to net income of approximately $435,000 for the corresponding period in 2005. The increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005 is primarily due to the gain on the sale of Indian Creek Village Apartments during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and an increase in total revenues partially offset by increases in total expenses and loss from discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2006.
On February 27, 2006, the Partnership sold Indian Creek Village Apartments, located in Overland Park, Kansas, to a third party for $14,900,000. The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $14,636,000 after payment of closing costs. The Partnership used approximately $7,572,000 and $757,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property and a prepayment penalty related to the mortgage encumbering the property. The Partnership used approximately $5,541,000 of the net proceeds to make a partial payment on amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the General Partner. The Partnership retained the remaining net proceeds for reserves. The sale resulted in a gain on sale of investment property of approximately $2,465,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $481,000, as a result of prepayment pena lties paid partially offset by the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium, which is included in loss from discontinued operations. Included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are results of the property’s operations of approximately $461,000 and $11,000, respectively, including revenues of approximately $359,000 and $517,000, respectively.
As a result of the sale of Indian Creek Village Apartments to a third party during the three months ended March 31, 2006, and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 has been restated as of January 1, 2005 to reflect the operations of Indian Creek Village Apartments as loss from discontinued operations.
The Partnership’s net income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $505,000 compared to approximately $446,000 for the corresponding period in 2005. The increase in income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the three months ended March
31, 2005 is due to an increase in total revenues partially offset by an increase in total expenses.
The increase in total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2006 is due to increases in rental and other income. Rental income increased primarily due to increases in average rental rates at all of the Partnership’s properties and increases in occupancy at The Sterling Apartment Homes, The Sterling Commerce Center, The Loft, Plantation Gardens and Palm Lake Apartments partially offset by a decrease in occupancy at The Knolls Apartments. Other income increased primarily due to an increase in resident utility payments at five of the Partnership’s properties.
Total expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2006 primarily due to increases in general and administrative, depreciation and property tax expenses partially offset by decreases in operating expenses and casualty loss. Depreciation expense increased primarily due to capital improvements and replacements placed into service at The Sterling Apartment Homes and The Knolls Apartments. Property tax expenses increased due to an increase in the assessed value for four investment properties. Operating expense decreased primarily due to decreased property and maintenance expenses partially offset by an increase in advertising and insurance expenses. Property expense decreased primarily due to decreased salary and related benefit expenses at The Sterling Commerce Center, administrative units at The Sterling Commerce Center and The Sterling Apartment Homes and contract courtesy patrol expenses at The Sterling Apartment Homes partially offse t by increased utility expenses at The Sterling Apartment Homes and The Knolls Apartments. Maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in clean up costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006 from hurricanes in 2005 and 2004 at The Dunes and Plantation Gardens Apartments partially offset by a decrease in payroll costs capitalized at Plantation Gardens Apartments. Advertising expense increased primarily due to an increase in referral fees at The Sterling Commerce Center. Insurance expense increased primarily due to an increase in hazard insurance premiums at The Sterling Apartment Homes, Plantation Gardens Apartments and Regency Oaks Apartments.
General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to increases in business privilege taxes paid to the City of Philadelphia and costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies. Also included in general and administrative expenses are 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, The Knolls Apartments, incurred damages from frozen pipes. As of March 31, 2006, the Partnership estimates damages to be approximately $63,000. The General Partner anticipates that insurance proceeds to be received will be sufficient to complete estimated repairs and no loss will result from this event.
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 $2,500,000, are expected to be covered by insurance proceeds and no loss will result from this event. In addition, the Partnership estimated clean up costs from the hurricane of approximately $250,000 and these costs were not covered by insurance proceeds and were included in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the estimate was reduced to approximately $137,000 and the reduction was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as a reduction in operating expense.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, The Dunes Apartments sustained damages from Hurricane Wilma. The clean up costs were not covered by insurance proceeds. The Partnership estimated clean up costs from the hurricane would be approximately $30,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the estimate was reduced to approximately $19,000 and the
reduction was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as a reduction in operating expense.
During the year ended December 31, 2005 there was a fire at Indian Creek Village Apartments that damaged four units. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, there was a casualty gain recorded of approximately $6,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets, net of receipt of insurance proceeds. This gain is included in loss from discontinued operations.
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 were not 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. Duringthe three months ended March 31, 2005 the Partnership recognized an additional casualty loss of approximately $25,000 as a result of the write-off of additional undepreciated damaged assets. In addition,the property incurred approximately $49,000 in clean up costs of which approximately $7,000 were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2005. These costs were not covered by insurance proceeds and were included in 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 were not 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 2004, the Partnership estimated total clean up costs from the hurricanes would be approximately $16,000. During 2005, the Partnership revised the estimate to be approximately $51,000 of which approximately $44,000 were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2005. These costs are included in operating expenses.
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 $482,000. Insurance proceeds of approximately $242,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2004. No loss was recognized in 2004 as additional 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 undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $181,000. Duringthe three months ended March 31, 2006 the Partnership recognized a casualty loss of approximately $16,000 as a result of the write-off of additional undepreciated damaged assets. This loss is included in loss from discontinued operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2006, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $341,000 compared to approximately $768,000 at March 31, 2005. Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $94,000 since December 31, 2005 due to approximately $10,296,000 of cash used in financing activities, partially offset by approximately $9,917,000 and $285,000 of cash provided by investing and operating activities, respectively. Cash used in financing activities consisted of principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership's investment properties, repayment of the mortgage note payable as a result of the sale of Indian Creek Village Apartments, prepayment penalties paid and repayments of advances from affiliates, partially offset by advances from affiliates. Cash provided by investing activities consisted of proceeds from the sale of Indian Creek Village Apartments, net receipts from restricted escrow accounts maintained by the m ortgage lenders and insurance proceeds received partially offset by property improvements and replacements. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.
The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the 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. Certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2006. In addition, the Partnership has material commitments to complete redevelopment proje cts at The Sterling Apartment Homes and The Knolls Apartments. The budget for these two projects for the remainder of 2006 is approximately $6,170,000. 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.
The Loft Apartments
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $96,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements and insulation upgrades. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 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 three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $1,260,000 of capital improvements arising from the redevelopment of the property, which includes capitalized construction period interest of approximately $70,000, real estate taxes of approximately $2,000 and other construction period costs of approximately $2,000. Additional capital improvements of approximately $94,000 consisted primarily of floor covering replacements, air conditioning upgrades and tenant 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 September 2006 at a total cost of approximately $12,653,000, of which approximately $2,272,000 was completed during 2004 and approximately $3,464,000 was completed during 2005. The project is being funded by operating cash flow, partnership reserves and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. Approximately $1,052,000 was advanced during the year ended December 31, 2005 and approximately $1,999,000 was advanced during the three months ended March 31, 2006 to pay for redevelopment project costs at this property. The Partnership currently expects to spend approximately $5,657,000 for property redevelopment during the remainder of 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 three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $44,000 of capital improvements arising from the redevelopment of the property, which includes capitalization of construction period interest of approximately $8,000, real estate taxes of approximately $1,000 and other construction period costs of approximately $1,000. 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 May 2006 at a total cost of approximately $8,385,000, of which approximately $2,104,000 was completed during 2004 and approximately $5,724,000 was completed during 2005. The project is being funded by operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. Approximately $3,880,000 was advanc ed during the year ended December 31, 2005 and approximately $60,000 was advanced during the three months ended March 31, 2006 to pay for redevelopment project costs. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. The Partnership currently expects to spend approximately $513,000 for property redevelopment during the remainder of 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.
Plantation Gardens Apartments
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $2,268,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements and reconstruction of damages to the property caused by Hurricane Wilma. 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 insurance proceeds and cash flow generated by the property.
Palm Lake Apartments
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $45,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements, wood replacement and electrical upgrades. 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.
The Dunes Apartments
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $37,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements and plumbing and water heater upgrades. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 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 three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $253,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements, fencing upgrades, plumbing enhancements, gutter and exterior door replacements and other building improvements. 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.
Indian Creek Village Apartments
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $92,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The property was sold to a third party on February 27, 2006.
Capital improvements at the Partnership's properties will be made only to the extent of cash available from operations, Partnership reserves or advances from an affiliate of the General Partner. To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected, at least in the short term.
The Partnership'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 $56,148,000 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.
There were no distributions paid by the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. 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 at March 31, 2006, 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 146,527.6 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 73.62% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2006. 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 73.62% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO
as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Investment 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.
ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
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 March 31, 2006, a 100 point increase or decrease in market interest rates would would impact Partnership income by approximately $551,000.
The following table summarizes the Partnership's debt obligations at March 31, 2006. The interest rates represent the weighted-average rates. The fair value of the debt obligations approximated the recorded value as of March 31, 2006.

Controls and Procedures
(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b)
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
Legal Proceedings
In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action 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 parties and Objector submitted one final round of briefing to the Court and the mat ter has been submitted for the Court’s decision.
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. Although 1,049 individuals opted-in to the class the defendants will be challenging the eligibility and timeliness of some. Defendants will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action with briefing that commences in August. 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. The California case has been stayed, while discovery in the Maryland case proceeds. 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.
