NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Angeles Income Properties, Ltd. II (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Angeles Realty Corporation II (the "Managing General Partner"), which is wholly-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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative 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-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Note B – Transactions with Affiliated Parties
The Partnership has no employees and depends on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from both of the Partnership’s properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $207,000 and $192,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which are included in operating expenses.
Affiliates of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $156,000 and $180,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses and investment properties. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are fees related to construction management services provided by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of approximately $73,000 and $93,000, respectively.
The Partnership Agreement provides for a fee equal to 10% of "Net cash from operations," as defined in the Partnership Agreement to be paid to the Managing General Partner for executive and administrative management services. There were no such fees earned by the Managing General Partner for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Managing General Partner is entitled to receive a distribution equal to 3% of the aggregate disposition price of sold properties. The Partnership paid a distribution of approximately $86,000 to the Managing General Partner related to the sale of Atlanta Crossing Shopping Center in March 2000. This amount is subordinate to the limited partners receiving their original capital contributions plus a cumulative preferred return of 6% per annum of their adjusted capital investment, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. If the limited partners have not received these returns when the Partnership terminates, the Managing General Partner will be required to return this amount to the Partnership.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $68,000 to fund capital improvements at Landmark Apartments. This advance bore interest at the prime rate plus 2% (10.25% at September 30, 2006). Interest expense was approximately $17,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This advance and associated accrued interest was repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from proceeds from a second mortgage obtained on Deer Creek Apartments (as discussed in Note C). There were no such advances made by affiliates of the Managing General Partner to the Partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Subsequent to September 30, 2006, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $35,000 to fund operations at both of the Partnership’s investmen t properties.
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 Managing General Partner. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $113,000 and $68,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.
Note C – Second Mortgage Note Payable
On September 1, 2005, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan in the amount of $3,800,000 on Deer Creek Apartments. The second mortgage consists of a stated fixed interest rate of 5.32% and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $21,000 beginning on October 1, 2005 until the loan matures September 1, 2015, with a balloon payment of approximately $3,163,000 due at maturity. The Partnership has the option of extending the maturity date for one additional year, to September 1, 2016. In connection with obtaining the second mortgage, loans costs of approximately $98,000 were capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
In connection with the new financing, the Partnership agreed to certain modifications of the existing mortgage loan encumbering Deer Creek Apartments. The modification of terms consisted of a fixed interest rate of 7.68%, monthly payments of approximately $88,000, commencing October 1, 2005 through its maturity of September 1, 2015, with a balloon payment of approximately $10,946,000 due at maturity. The Partnership has the option of extending the maturity date for one additional year, to September 1, 2016. The previous terms consisted of monthly payments of approximately $110,000 with a stated fixed interest rate of 7.43% through its maturity of July 1, 2021, at which time the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized.
Note D – 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 Managing 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 Managing 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 lim ited 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 ordered additional briefing from the parties and Objector. On June 30, 2006, the trial court entered an order confirming its approval of the cla ss action settlement and entering judgment thereto after the Court of Appeals had remanded the matter for further findings. The substantive terms of the settlement agreement remain unchanged. The trial court also entered supplemental orders on July 1, 2006, denying Objector’s Motion to File a Complaint in Intervention, Objector’s Motion for Leave of Discovery and Objector’s Motion to Dissolve the Anti-Suit Injunction. Notice of Entry of Judgment was served on July 10, 2006. On August 31, 2006, the Objector filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court’s June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2006 orders.
The Managing 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 ManagingGeneral 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. &nb sp;In June 2005 the court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues. Approximately 1,049 individuals opted in to the class. The defendants moved to decertify the collective action on both issues and the plaintiffs have responded. Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, in September 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and in November 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court. The California and Maryland cases have been stayed pending the outcome of the decertification motion in the District of Columbia case. 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 Managing General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s finan cial 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 Managing General Partner have implemented a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from its properties and the Managing 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 Managing General Partner can m ake no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Registrant and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Registrant operates; financing risks, including the risk that cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting and defending cla ims and any adverse outcomes, and possible environmental liabilities. Readers should carefully review the Registrant's financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the documents the Registrant files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Partnership's investment properties consist of two apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:
Average Occupancy | ||
Property | 2006 | 2005 |
Deer Creek Apartments | 96% | 95% |
Plainsboro, New Jersey | ||
Landmark Apartments (1) | 90% | 83% |
Raleigh, North Carolina |
(1)
The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Landmark Apartments to improved tenant services as a result of additional staffing.
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 Managing 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 Managing 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 Managing General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions; accordingly, there is no guar antee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors which 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 loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $20,000 and $61,000, respectively, compared to net income of approximately $53,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and net loss of approximately $67,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is due to an increase in total expenses, partially offset by an increase in total revenues. The decrease in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is due to an increase in total revenues, partially offset by an increase in total expenses. Total revenues increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily due to an increase in rental income. Total revenues also increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 due to an increase in other income, which remained relatively constant for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Rental income increased for the three months ended September 30, 2006 due to increases in occupancy at Landmark Apartments and the average rental rate at both of the Partnership’s investment properties. Rental income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 due to increases in occupancy and the average rental rate at both of the Partnership’s investment properties. Other income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily due to increases in lease cancellation fees at Deer Creek Apartments and cleaning and damage fees at Landmark Apartments.
The increase in total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is due primarily to increases in depreciation, interest, and operating expenses. General and administrative and property tax expenses remained relatively constant for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is due primarily to increases in depreciation, interest, general and administrative and property tax expenses, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses. Depreciation expense increased for both periods due to property improvements and replacements placed into service during the past twelve months at both of the Partnership’s investment properties. Interest expense increased for both periods due to a higher debt balance as a result of the second mortgage obtained on Deer Creek Apartments in September 2005 and a higher variable rate on the mortgage encumbering Landmark Apa rtments. The increase in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is primarily due to increases in utilities and salaries and related benefits at Landmark Apartments, hazard insurance expense as a result of increased premiums and management fees as a result of the increase in rental income at both properties. The decrease in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is due to decreases in utilities, salaries and related benefits and employee housing expenses at Deer Creek Apartments and decreases in contract services at Landmark Apartments, partially offset by increases in utilities, salaries and related benefits and employee housing expenses at Landmark Apartments, insurance expense at both properties as a result of increased premiums and management fees at both properties as a result of the increase in rental income. The increase in property tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is due to the timing and receipt of the tax bill, which af fected the tax accrual at Landmark Apartments.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is primarily due to an increase in New Jersey partnership tax expense. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are management reimbursements to the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2006, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $67,000, compared to approximately $547,000 at September 30, 2005. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $532,000, from December 31, 2005, is due to approximately $974,000 and $285,000 of cash used in investing and financing activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $727,000 of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements and net deposits to restricted escrow accounts maintained by the mortgage lender. Cash used in financing activities consisted of a distribution to partners and payments of principal made on the mortgages encumbering Deer Creek Apartments. 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 Managing General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional compliance measures with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these changes, the Partnership expects that it will incur higher expenses related to compliance. Capital improvements planned for each of the Partnership's properties are detailed below.
Deer Creek Apartments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $554,000 of capital improvements at Deer Creek Apartments, consisting primarily of swimming pool and spa resurfacing, structural improvements and floor covering and appliance replacements. 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.
Landmark Apartments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $363,000 of capital improvements at Landmark Apartments, consisting primarily of interior improvements, sewer upgrades, balcony upgrades, parking area resurfacing and floor covering replacement. 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 replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
The capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or from 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 Partnership’s assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. On September 1, 2005, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan in the amount of $3,800,000 on Deer Creek Apartments. The second mortgage consists of a stated fixed interest rate of 5.32% and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $21,000 beginning on October 1, 2005 until the loan matures September 1, 2015, with a balloon payment of approximately $3,163,000 due at maturity. The Partnership has the option of extending the maturity date for one additional year, to September 1, 2016.
In connection with the new financing, the Partnership agreed to certain modifications of the existing mortgage loan encumbering Deer Creek Apartments. The modification of terms consisted of a fixed interest rate of 7.68%, monthly payments of approximately $88,000, commencing October 1, 2005 through its maturity of September 1, 2015, with a balloon payment of approximately $10,946,000 due at maturity. The Partnership has the option of extending the maturity date for one additional year, to September 1, 2016. The previous terms consisted of monthly payments of approximately $110,000 with a stated fixed interest rate of 7.43% through its maturity of July 1, 2021, at which time the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized.
The mortgage encumbering Landmark Apartments of approximately $7,000,000 required monthly payments of interest until the loan matured November 1, 2006, with interest being equal to the average of the one month LIBOR plus 235 basis points (7.6729% at September 30, 2006 with a minimum rate of 4.3662%). In conjunction with the mortgage note, the Partnership entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which limits the Partnership’s exposure to interest rate increases. Under this interest rate cap agreement, the Partnership’s interest rate on the amounts owed to the lender will be no higher than 7.85%. The Partnership has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which was amended by SFAS No. 138 “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities – an Amendment of SFAS No. 133”. The Partnership’s interest rate cap does not qualify for special hedge accounting treatment as defined by SFAS No. 133, and therefore all changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap will be recognized in the statements of operations as an adjustment to interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate cap at September 30, 2006 is zero. Subsequent to September 30, 2006, the Managing General Partner negotiated an extension of the loan’s maturity date to December 1, 2006, under the existing terms, however, the interest rate cap was waived during the extension period. The Managing General Partner will attempt to refinance the debt encumbering Landmark Apartments prior to the new maturity date. If the property cannot be refinanced for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure.
The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands, except per unit data):
Nine Months | Per Limited | Nine Months | Per Limited | |
Ended September 30, | Partnership | Ended September 30, | Partnership | |
2006 | Unit | 2005 | Unit | |
Sale (1) | $ 175 | $ 1.73 | $ -- | $ -- |
Finance (2) | -- | -- | 3,020 | 29.96 |
$ 175 | $ 1.73 | $3,020 | $29.96 |
(1)
From proceeds from the March 2004 sale of Georgetown Apartments.
(2)
From proceeds from the September 2005 second mortgage obtained on Deer Creek Apartments.
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations and the timing of debt maturities, refinancings and/or property sales. The Managing General Partner is currently attempting to refinance the mortgage encumbering Landmark Apartments. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after required capital expenditures to permit additional distributions to its partners during 2006 or subsequent periods.
Other
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 69,409 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 69.55% of the outstanding Units at September 30, 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 include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 69.55% 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 Managing General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the Managing General Partner, as managing general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Managing General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The 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. 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 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.
ITEM 3.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing 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 Managing 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 contr ols 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 Managing 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 Managing 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 lim ited 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 ordered additional briefing from the parties and Objector. On June 30, 2006, the trial court entered an order confirming its approval of the cla ss action settlement and entering judgment thereto after the Court of Appeals had remanded the matter for further findings. The substantive terms of the settlement agreement remain unchanged. The trial court also entered supplemental orders on July 1, 2006, denying Objector’s Motion to File a Complaint in Intervention, Objector’s Motion for Leave of Discovery and Objector’s Motion to Dissolve the Anti-Suit Injunction. Notice of Entry of Judgment was served on July 10, 2006. On August 31, 2006, the Objector filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court’s June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2006 orders.
The Managing 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 ManagingGeneral 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. &nb sp;In June 2005 the court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues. Approximately 1,049 individuals opted in to the class. The defendants moved to decertify the collective action on both issues and the plaintiffs have responded. Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, in September 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and in November 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court. The California and Maryland cases have been stayed pending the outcome of the decertification motion in the District of Columbia case. 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 Managing General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome wi ll have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations.
