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, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, such as the reporting entity’s own data. SFAS No. 157 requires fair value measurements to be disclosed by level within the fair va lue hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Partnership does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Partnership has not yet determined whether it will elect the fair value option for any of its financ ial instruments.
In June 2007, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “AICPA”) issued Statement of Position No. 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” ("SOP 07-1"). SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether the accounting principles of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide “Investment Companies” are required to be applied to an entity by clarifying the definition of an investment company and, whether investment company accounting should be retained by a parent company upon consolidation of an investment company subsidiary, or by an investor in the application of the equity method of accounting to an investment company investee. SOP 07-1 applies to reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2007; however, the FASB has decided to issue an exposure draft that would indefinitely delay the effective date of SOP 07-1 until the FASB can reassess the provisions of SOP 07-1. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adoption of SOP 07-1 may have on its financial statements in the period of adoption.
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 $222,000 and $207,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, 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 $147,000 and $156,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is 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, 2007 and 2006 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of approximately $51,000 and $73,000, 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, 2007 and 2006.
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.
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, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $173,000 and $113,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.
Note C – Additional Financing
On August 31, 2007, the Partnership obtained an additional mortgage loan in the principal amount of $7,750,000 on Deer Creek Apartments. The additional mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.83% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $46,000 beginning on October 1, 2007, through the September 1, 2015 maturity date, with a balloon payment of approximately $6,791,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to September 1, 2016, during which period the additional mortgage would bear interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and would require monthly payments of principal and interest. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to th e new mortgage financing. In connection with obtaining the additional mortgage, loan costs of approximately $83,000 were capitalized and are included in other assets.
Note D – Casualty Event
In June 2007, Deer Creek Apartments incurred estimated damages of approximately $209,000 from a fire that damaged four apartment units. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $38,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $38,000. The damaged assets were fully depreciated. The Partnership expects to receive additional proceeds to cover the damages and does not expect to record a loss from this event.
Note E – 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 class act ion 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. On December 14, 2006, Objector filed his Appellant’s Brief. The Partnership and its affiliates, as well as counsel for the Settlement Class, both filed Respondents’ Briefs on May 17, 2007. Objector filed his response on August 3, 2007. No hearing date has yet been scheduled.
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.
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 policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the Managing General Partner believes that these measures will prevent or eliminate mold exposure and will minimize the effects that mold may 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 make 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, 2007 and 2006:
Average Occupancy | ||
Property | 2007 | 2006 |
Deer Creek Apartments | 96% | 96% |
Plainsboro, New Jersey | ||
Landmark Apartments (1) | 96% | 90% |
Raleigh, North Carolina |
(1)
The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Landmark Apartments to increased resident retention efforts.
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 income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $61,000 and $77,000, respectively, compared to net loss of approximately $20,000 and $61,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The increase in net income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 is due to an increase in total revenues and the recognition of a casualty gain, partially offset by an increase in total expenses. The increase in total revenues for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 is due to increases in both rental and other income. Rental income increased for both periods due to increases in the average rental rate at both of the Partnership’s investment properties and occupancy at Landmark Apartments. The increase in other income for both periods is primarily due to increases in tenant utility reimbursements at both properties and late charges at Deer Creek Apartments.
In June 2007, Deer Creek Apartments incurred estimated damages of approximately $209,000 from a fire that damaged four apartment units. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $38,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $38,000. The damaged assets were fully depreciated. The Partnership expects to receive additional proceeds to cover the damages and does not expect to record a loss from this event.
Total expenses increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to increases in operating and property tax expenses. The increase in total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses. The increase in total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense. Depreciation expense remained relatively constant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in operating expenses for both periods is primarily due to increases in insurance expense as a result of increased premiums at Landmark Apartments and salaries and related benefits, employee housing, and utility expenses at Deer Creek Apartments. Also contributing to the increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is an increase in snow removal expense at Deer Creek Apartments. The increase in property tax expense for both periods is primarily due to an increase in the tax rate at Deer Creek Apartments. The decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily due to a decrease in loan cost amortization expense at Landmark Apartments as a result of a longer loan term and fewer loan costs capitalized associated with the new mortgage encumbering the property, partially offset by an increase in interest expense as a result of the additional financing obtained at Deer Creek Apartments in August 2007 (as discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”).
The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily due to a decrease in professional expenses associated with the administration of the Partnership. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 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, 2007, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $677,000, compared to approximately $67,000 at September 30, 2006. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $39,000, from December 31, 2006, is due to approximately $693,000 and $247,000 of cash used in investing and financing activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $901,000 of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements, partially offset by insurance proceeds received. Cash used in financing activities consisted of distributions to partners, payments of principal made on the mortgages encumbering Deer Creek Apartments and loan costs paid, partially offset by proceeds from the additional mortgage financing obtained on 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, 2007, the Partnership completed approximately $505,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting primarily of water heaters, cabinet, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, appliance and floor covering replacements and construction related to the casualty discussed in “Results of Operations”. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and insurance proceeds. 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 2007. 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.
Landmark Apartments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership completed approximately $253,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting primarily of heating and air conditioning upgrades 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 2007. 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.
Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership reserves or insurance proceeds. 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 sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. On November 30, 2006, the Partnership obtained a mortgage in the principal amount of $8,535,000 on Landmark Apartments. The existing mortgage with an outstanding principal amount of $7,000,000 matured on December 1, 2006 and was repaid with the proceeds of the new mortgage. Loan costs associated with the existing mortgage were fully amortized. The new mortgage has a fixed interest rate of 5.65% and requires monthly payments of interest beginning on January 1, 2007 until the loan matures on December 1, 2009. In addition, the terms of the new mortgage debt require monthly escrow deposits for taxes, insurance and replacement reserves, as well as a repair reserve of approximately $477,000, funded at closing, that is maintained by the mortgage lender. The Partnership has the option to ex tend the maturity date for two additional years, to December 1, 2011, by meeting certain performance criteria. In connection with obtaining the new mortgage, loan costs of approximately $117,000 were capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2006. Additional loan costs of approximately $11,000 were capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As a condition of making the new mortgage, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage.
On August 31, 2007, the Partnership obtained an additional mortgage loan in the principal amount of $7,750,000 on Deer Creek Apartments. The additional mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.83% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $46,000 beginning on October 1, 2007, through the September 1, 2015 maturity date, with a balloon payment of approximately $6,791,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to September 1, 2016, during which period the additional mortgage would bear interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and would require monthly payments of principal and interest. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to th e new mortgage financing. In connection with obtaining the additional mortgage, loan costs of approximately $83,000 were capitalized and are included in other assets.
The first and second mortgage indebtedness encumbering Deer Creek Apartments of approximately $15,818,000 requires monthly payments of principal and interest until the loans mature on September 1, 2015, with balloon payments totaling approximately $14,109,000 due at maturity.
The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands, except per unit data):
Nine Months | Per Limited | Nine Months | Per Limited | |
Ended | Partnership | Ended | Partnership | |
September 30, | Unit | September 30, | Unit | |
2007 | 2006 | |||
Finance/Refinance (1) | $7,785 | $77.22 | $ -- | $ -- |
Sale (2) | -- | -- | 175 | 1.73 |
$7,785 | $77.22 | $ 175 | $ 1.73 |
(1)
From proceeds from the September 2005 and August 2007 second and third mortgages obtained on Deer Creek Apartments and the November 2006 refinancing of the mortgage encumbering Landmark Apartments.
(2)
From proceeds from the March 2004 sale of Georgetown Apartments.
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net 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. 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 2007 or subsequent periods.
Other
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 71,374 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 71.51% of the outstanding Units at September 30, 2007. 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 71.51 % 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.
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 class act ion 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. On December 14, 2006, Objector filed his Appellant’s Brief. The Partnership and its affiliates, as well as counsel for the Settlement Class, both filed Respondents’ Briefs on May 17, 2007. Objector filed his response on August 3, 2007. No hearing date has yet been scheduled.
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.
