NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/2, LP (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 8-03 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"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the res ults that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. 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, 2007.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
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 at the measurement date. 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 value hierarchy. In Februa ry 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are applicable to recurring fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Partnership is generally limited to annual disclosures required by SFAS No. 107. The Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, and at that time determined no transition adjustment was required.
Organization
On April 25, 2008, the Partnership changed its domicile from California to Delaware by merging with and into Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/2, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, with the Delaware partnership as the surviving entity in the merger. The merger was undertaken pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 19, 2008, by and between the California partnership and the Delaware partnership.
Under the merger agreement, each unit of limited partnership interest in the California partnership was converted into an identical unit of limited partnership in the Delaware partnership and the general partnership interest in the California partnership previously held by the general partner was converted into a general partnership interest in the Delaware partnership. All interests in the Delaware partnership outstanding immediately prior to the merger were cancelled in the merger.
The voting and other rights of the limited partners provided for in the partnership agreement were not changed as a result of the merger. In the merger, the partnership agreement of the California partnership was adopted as the partnership agreement of the Delaware partnership, with the following changes: (i) references therein to the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act were amended to refer to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act; (ii) a description of the merger was added; (iii) the name of the partnership was changed to “Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/2, LP” and (iv) a provision was added that gives the general partner authority to establish different designated series of limited partnership interests that have separate rights with respect to specified partnership property, and profits and losses associated with such specified property.
On April 30, 2008, the General Partner amended the Partnership Agreement to establish, and convert existing limited partnership interests into, different designated series of limited partnership interests that have separate rights with respect to specified partnership property. Effective as of the close of business on April 30, 2008 (the “Establishment Date”), each then outstanding Unit of limited partnership interest in the Partnership was converted into one Series A Unit and one Series B Unit. Except as described below, the Series A Units and Series B Units entitle the holders thereof to the same rights as the holders of Units of limited partnership interests had prior to the Establishment Date.
From and after the Establishment Date, the Series A Units will be entitled to all of the Partnership’s interests in any entity in which the Partnership owns an interest, other than the Series B Subsidiary (as defined below), including, but not limited to, all profits, losses and distributions from such entities.
From and after the Establishment Date, the Series B Units will be entitled to all of the Partnership’s membership interest in Canyon Crest, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Series B Subsidiary”), including, but not limited to, all profits, losses and distributions from Canyon Crest Apartments.
Note B – Transactions with Affiliated Parties
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 certain payments to affiliates for services and 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 $112,000 and $107,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in operating expenses.
An affiliate of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $156,000 and $117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses and investment properties. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $26,000 and $11,000, respectively. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Partnership owed approximately $540,000 and $410,000, respectively, for accountable administrative expenses, which is included in due to affiliates.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $196,000 and $74,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to fund operations and real estate taxes at two investment properties. Interest is charged at the prime rate plus 2% (7.25% at March 31, 2008). Interest expense was approximately $3,000 and $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At March 31, 2008, approximately $199,000 in principal and accrued interest is included in due to affiliates. There were no outstanding advances or associated accrued interest at December 31, 2007. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers’ compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $131,000 for hazard insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2008 as other insurance policies renew later in the year. The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $225,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 3 1, 2007.
Note C - Investments in Affiliated Partnerships
The Partnership has investments in the following affiliated partnerships:
Ownership | Investment Balance at | ||
Partnership | Type of Ownership | Percentage | March 31, 2008 |
(in thousands) | |||
Consolidated Capital | Special Limited | ||
Growth Fund | Partner | 0.40% | $ -- |
Consolidated Capital | Special Limited | ||
Properties III | Partner | 1.86% | 10 |
Consolidated Capital | Special Limited | ||
Properties IV | Partner | 1.86% | 611 |
$ 621 |
These investments are accounted for using 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership recognized equity in loss from the operating results of the investments of approximately $6,000 and $3,000, respectively.
Note D – Casualty Events
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, Glenbridge Manor Apartments experienced significant ground movement causing damage to two buildings, water pipes and sewer lines. These two buildings, containing 20 units, the office, clubhouse and fitness center, have been evacuated. The General Partner currently anticipates that one building containing 12 units may be demolished. The property is currently undergoing testing to determine whether additional buildings will be affected. The total extent of the damages has not presently been determined; however, the Partnership expects that the damages will be fully covered by insurance proceeds and does not expect to record a loss from this event.
In March 2008, Glenbridge Manor Apartments experienced storm damages of approximately $38,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership recognized a casualty loss of approximately $8,000, which is included in operating expenses, as a result of the expected receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $20,000, net of the write-off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $28,000.
In October 2007, Canyon Crest Apartments experienced damages as a result of a kitchen fire. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership recorded a casualty loss of approximately $2,000 as a result of the expected receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $21,000, of which approximately $12,000 was received during the year ended December 31, 2007, net of the write-off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $23,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership received insurance proceeds related to this casualty of approximately $3,000 and approximately $2,000 to cover lost rents. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 which is reflected as a reduction of operating expenses, as a result of a change in the previous write-off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $12,000, net of the write-off of the remaining receiva ble of approximately $6,000.
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 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 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. The Matter was argued and submitted and the Court of Appeal issued an opinion on February 20, 2008 affirming the order approving the settlement and judgment entered thereto. On March 12, 2008, the Court of Appeal denied Appellant’s Petition for Re-Hearing. Appellant has filed a Petition for Review with the California Supreme Court. The matter has been submitted and the parties are awaiting a decision by the California Supreme Court regarding whether or not it will accept the matter for review.
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.
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, 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 lic ensed 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 and operation 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 policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the 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 General Partner can make no assur ance 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 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of redevelopments, the Partnership’s future financial performance, including the Partnership’s ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy and rent levels, and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors that are beyond the Partnership’s control including, without limitation: natural disasters such as hurricanes; national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partner ship’s properties and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates; financing risks, including the risk that the Partnership’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; insurance risks; development risks; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by the Partnership. Readers should carefully review the Partnership’s financial statements and the notes thereto and the other documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Partnership's investment properties consist of four apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:
Average Occupancy | ||
Property | 2008 | 2007 |
Canyon Crest Apartments | 95% | 93% |
Littleton, Colorado | ||
Windemere Apartments (1) | 96% | 87% |
Houston, Texas | ||
Highcrest Townhomes | 98% | 96% |
Wood Ridge, Illinois | ||
Glenbridge Manor Apartments (2) | 88% | 96% |
Cincinnati, Ohio |
(1)
The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Windemere Apartments to increased resident retention efforts.
(2)
The General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at Glenbridge Manor Apartments to units unavailable for lease as a result of the casualty discussed below.
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 plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expense. 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 Partne r 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 impact the Partnership’s financial results.
Results of Operations
The Partnership’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $446,000, compared to a net loss of approximately $448,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Net loss remained relatively constant as an increase in total revenues was substantially offset by an increase in total expenses.
Total revenues increased due to increases in both rental and other income. Rental income increased due to increases in occupancy and the average rental rate at three of the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by decreases in occupancy at Glenbridge Manor Apartments and the average rental rate at Windemere Apartments. Other income increased primarily due to increases in resident utility payments at Highcrest Townhomes and lease cancellation fees at Glenbridge Manor Apartments.
Total expenses increased due to increases in operating and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense. Both interest and property tax expense remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. Operating expense increased primarily due to increases in snow removal costs at Highcrest Townhomes and clean up costs related to the casualties at Canyon Crest Apartments and Glenbridge Manor Apartments, as discussed below, partially offset by a decrease in utility expenses at Highcrest Townhomes. Depreciation expense decreased due to assets placed into service in previous years becoming fully depreciated at Highcrest Townhomes during the fourth quarter of 2007.
General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase in management reimbursements charged by the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, Glenbridge Manor Apartments experienced significant ground movement causing damage to two buildings, water pipes and sewer lines. These two buildings, containing 20 units, the office, clubhouse and fitness center, have been evacuated. The General Partner currently anticipates that one building containing 12 units may be demolished. The property is currently undergoing testing to determine whether additional buildings will be affected. The total extent of the damages has not presently been determined; however, the Partnership expects that the damages will be fully covered by insurance proceeds and does not expect to record a loss from this event.
In March 2008, Glenbridge Manor Apartments experienced storm damages of approximately $38,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership recognized a casualty loss of approximately $8,000, which is included in operating expenses, as a result of the expected receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $20,000, net of the write-off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $28,000.
In October 2007, Canyon Crest Apartments experienced damages as a result of a kitchen fire. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership recorded a casualty loss of approximately $2,000 as a result of the expected receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $21,000, of which approximately $12,000 was received during the year ended December 31, 2007, net of the write-off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $23,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership received insurance proceeds related to this casualty of approximately $3,000 and approximately $2,000 to cover lost rents. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 which is reflected as a reduction of operating expenses, as a result of a change in the previous write-off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $12,000, net of the write-off of the remaining receiva ble of approximately $6,000.
The equity in loss from investment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is due to the recognition of the Partnership’s share of loss on its investments in affiliated partnerships. These investments are accounted for on the equity method of accounting. Distributions from the affiliated partnerships are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance until the investment balance is reduced to zero. When the investment balance has been reduced to zero, subsequent distributions received are recognized as income in the statements of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2008, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $152,000, compared to approximately $342,000 at March 31, 2007. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $302,000, from December 31, 2007, is due to approximately $327,000 and $40,000 of cash used in investing and financing activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $65,000 of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements and net deposits to restricted escrows, partially offset by insurance proceeds received. Cash used in financing activities consisted of principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering the investment properties, partially offset by advances received from an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $196,000 and $74,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to fund operations and real estate taxes at two investment properties. Interest is charged at the prime rate plus 2% (7.25% at March 31, 2008). Interest expense was approximately $3,000 and $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At March 31, 2008, approximately $199,000 in principal and accrued interest is included in due to affiliates on the balance sheet included in “Item 1. Financial Statements”. There were no outstanding advances or associated accrued interest at December 31, 2007. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO P roperties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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. Capital improvements planned for each of the Partnership's properties are detailed below.
Canyon Crest Apartments
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $110,000 of capital improvements at Canyon Crest Apartments, consisting primarily of interior improvements, recreational facility upgrades, floor covering replacement and construction related to the casualty discussed above. These improvements were funded from operations 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 2008. 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.
Windemere Apartments
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $88,000 of capital improvements at Windemere Apartments, consisting primarily of structural upgrades and floor covering replacement. These improvements were funded from operations. 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 2008. 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.
Highcrest Townhomes
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $24,000 of capital improvements at Highcrest Townhomes, consisting primarily of water and sewer upgrades, exterior improvements and floor covering replacement. These improvements were funded from operations. 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 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
Glenbridge Manor Apartments
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $81,000 of capital improvements at Glenbridge Manor Apartments, consisting primarily of structural improvements, floor covering replacement and construction related to the casualties discussed above. These improvements were funded from operations. 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 2008. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, insurance proceeds, Partnership reserves or advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. 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 28, 2007, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage debt encumbering Highcrest Townhomes. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage debt, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance of approximately $5,482,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $11,175,000. The new mortgage loan bears interest at 6.17% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $68,000 beginning on November 1, 2007 through the October 1, 2017 maturity date, with a balloon payment of approximately $9,414,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to October 1, 2018. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affil iate of the General Partner, to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing.
The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Canyon Crest and Windemere Apartments of approximately $7,858,000 is being amortized over 240 months and requires balloon payments totaling approximately $6,802,000 in 2010. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Glenbridge Manor Apartments of approximately $19,635,000 is being amortized over 300 months and requires a balloon payment of approximately $16,566,000 in 2013. 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 will risk losing such properties through foreclosure.
There were no distributions made by the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations and the timing of debt maturities, property sales and/or refinancings. 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, 2008, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners in 2008 or subsequent periods.
Other
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 574,120.95 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 63.16% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2008. 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, Unit holders 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 General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 63.16% of the outstanding Units, AIMC O 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.
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 stated at their fair market value at the time of foreclosure, 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 4.
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)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There have been no significant 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 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. The matter was argued and submitted and the Court of Appeal issued an opinion on February 20, 2008 affirming the order approving the settlement and judgment entered thereto. On March 12, 2008, the Court of Appeal denied Appellant’s Petition for Re-Hearing. Appellant has filed a Petition for Review with the California Supreme Court. The matter has been submitted and the parties are awaiting a decision by the California Supreme Court regarding whether or not it will accept the matter for review.
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.
