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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results 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.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the accompanying statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 have been restated to reflect the operations of Canyon Crest Apartments as loss from discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of Canyon Crest Apartments as of December 31, 2007 are reflected as held for sale due to its sale on August 1, 2008 (see Note F).
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 interest 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 specifiedpartnership 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 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.
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 $329,000 and $328,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in operating expenses and loss from discontinued operations.
An affiliate of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $443,000 and $351,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses, investment properties and loss from sale of discontinued operations. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties and loss from sale of discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $53,000 and $25,000, respectively. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Partnership owed approximately $718,000 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 $4,139,000 and $421,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to fund reconstruction related to the casualty at Glenbridge Manor Apartments, and operations, capital improvements, and real estate taxes at two of the investment properties. Interest is charged at the prime rate plus 2% (7.00% at September 30, 2008). Interest expense was approximately $149,000 and $198,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership repaid approximately $102,000 and $4,052,000 of principal and interest from proceeds from the sale of Canyon Crest Apartments and the refinancing of the mortgage encumbering Highcrest Townhomes,respectively. At September 30, 2008, approximately $4,186,000 in advances and accrued interest remain unpaid and are 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. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $116,000 to fund operations and capital improvements at Windemere Apartments.
In connection with the refinancing of Highcrest Townhomes on September 28, 2007, the Partnership paid the General Partner a fee of approximately $112,000 pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. This fee was capitalized, is included in other assets on the accompanying balance sheet and is being amortized over the life of the loan.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $189,000 for 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 31, 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 | September 30, 2008 |
| | | (in thousands) |
Consolidated Capital | Special Limited | | |
Growth Fund | Partner | 0.40% | $ -- |
| | | |
Consolidated Capital | Special Limited | | |
Properties III | Partner | 1.86% | 5 |
| | | |
Consolidated Capital | Special Limited | | |
Properties IV | Partner | 1.86% | 611 |
| | | $ 616 |
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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership received approximately $33,000 from one of its affiliated partnerships, Consolidated Capital Growth Fund, which was recognized as income on the statement of operations. No such distributions were received during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership recognized equity in loss from the operating results of the investments of approximately $11,000 and $5,000, respectively.
Note D – Casualty Events
During 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. One building containing 12 units has been demolished, and the other building was partially 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 intends to seek recovery of damages through insurance proceeds and/or recovery from responsible third parties, and at this time does not expect to record a loss from this event. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership entered into contracts for approximately $3,400,000 to begin reconstruction of which approximately $2,615,000 has been spent as of September 30, 2008. As a result of this project, construction period interest expense of approximately $108,000, construction period property tax expense of approximately $25,000 and construction period operating costs of approximately $2,000 have been capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In addition, the Partnership received an advance of approximately $3,650,000 from AIMCO Properties, L.P. in order to expedite clean up and reconstruction of the property.
In September 2008, Windemere Apartments sustained damage from Hurricane Ike. The damages are estimated to be approximately $500,000, including clean up costs of approximately $125,000. The Partnership does not expect to recognize a loss as insurance proceeds are anticipated to be sufficient to cover the cost of any damages. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the estimated clean up costs are included in operating expenses.
In September 2008, Glenbridge Manor Apartments sustained minor damage from Hurricane Ike. The clean up costs are currently estimated to be approximately $25,000. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the estimated clean up costs are included in operating expenses.
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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, which is included in loss from discontinued operations, 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 receivable of approximately $6,000.
In February 2007, Glenbridge Manor Apartments experienced damages of approximately $35,000 as a result of frozen pipes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized a casualty loss of approximately $3,000, which is included in operating expenses, as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $25,000, net of the write-off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $28,000.
Note E – Mortgage Refinancing
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 loanbears 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. Total capitalized loan costs associated with the new mortgage were approximately $213,000, of which approximately $204,000 was incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and are included in other assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $18,000, which is included in interest expense on the accompanying statements of operations, as a result of a prepayment penalty paid, partially offset by the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing.
Note F - Sale of Investment Property
On August 1, 2008, the Partnership sold Canyon Crest Apartments to a third party for a gross sale price of approximately $4,100,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $3,882,000 after payment of closing costs and a prepayment penalty. The Partnership used approximately $2,822,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property. In accordance with the Partnership’s impairment policy and SFAS No. 144, the Partnership recorded an impairment loss of approximately $1,215,000 to write the property value down to the sale price during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This amount is included in loss from discontinued operations. As a result of the sale, the Partnership recorded a loss of approximately $69,000, which is included in loss from sale of discontinued operations. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $111,000 due to a prepayment penalty, partially offset by the write off of unamortized mortgage premium, which is included in loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. The result of the property’s operations were losses of approximately $66,000 and $43,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and loss of approximately $223,000 and $146,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Also included in loss from discontinued operations are revenues of approximately $81,000 and $221,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and approximately $547,000 and $648,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Note G – Contingencies
The Partnership has previously disclosed in its quarterly, annual and current reports the legal proceedings related to the Nuanes and Heller actions. On June 30, 2006, the trial court entered an order confirming its approval of the class action settlement and entering judgment thereto after the Court of Appeal had remanded the matter for further findings. On August 31, 2006, an objector filed an appeal from the order. The Court of Appeal issued an opinion on February 20, 2008, affirming the order approving the settlement and judgment entered thereto, and the California Supreme Court thereafter denied the objector’s petition for review. All appeals have now been exhausted, and the Court’s order approving the settlement and entering judgment is now final. Payments associated with the settlement were disbursed during September 2008.
As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for timeworked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”). The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”). In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action. In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions. In the second quarter 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts will be dismissed. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership was charged approximately $3,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment properties. At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. The General Partner is uncertain as to the amount of any additional loss that may be allocable to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership cannot estimate whether any additional loss will occur or a potential range of loss.
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 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 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 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 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 Partnership’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 inreal 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 three apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:
| Average Occupancy |
Property | 2008 | 2007 |
| | |
Windemere Apartments (1) | 94% | 89% |
Houston, Texas | | |
Highcrest Townhomes | 97% | 96% |
Wood Ridge, Illinois | | |
Glenbridge Manor Apartments (2) | 89% | 95% |
Cincinnati, Ohio | | |
(1) The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Windemere Apartments to competitive pricing and increased resident retention efforts.
(2) The General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at Glenbridge Manor Apartments to 20 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 protectthe 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 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 impact the Partnership’s financial results.
Results of Operations
The Partnership’s net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $825,000 and $2,987,000, respectively. The Partnership’s net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $417,000 and $1,358,000, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 have been restated to reflect the operations of Canyon Crest Apartments as loss from discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of Canyon Crest Apartments as of December 31, 2007 are reflected as held for sale due to its sale on August 1, 2008.
On August 1, 2008, the Partnership sold Canyon Crest Apartments to a third party for a gross sale price of approximately $4,100,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $3,882,000 after payment of closing costs and a prepayment penalty. The Partnership used approximately $2,822,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property. In accordance with the Partnership’s impairment policy and SFAS No. 144, the Partnership recorded an impairment loss of approximately $1,215,000 to write the property value down to the sale price during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This amount is included in loss from discontinued operations. As a result of the sale, the Partnership recorded a loss of approximately $69,000, which is included in loss from sale of discontinued operations. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $111,000 due to a prepayment penalty, partially offset by the write off of unamortized mortgage premium, which is included in loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. The result of the property’s operations were losses of approximately $66,000 and $43,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and loss of approximately $223,000 and $146,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Also included in loss from discontinued operations are revenues of approximately $81,000 and $221,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and approximately $547,000 and $648,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, which is included in loss from discontinued operations, 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 receivable of approximately $6,000.
The Partnership’s loss before discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $579,000 and $1,369,000, respectively,compared to loss before discontinued operations of approximately $374,000 and $1,212,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2007. The increase in loss before discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is due to an increase in total expenses. The increase in loss before discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due to an increase in total expenses, partially offset by an increase in total revenues.
Total expenses increased for both periods due to increases in operating, interest and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by decreases in property tax and depreciation expenses. Operating expenses increased for both periods primarily due to increases in clean up costs related to the casualties at Windemere Apartments and Glenbridge Manor Apartments, as discussed below, and contract services at Glenbridge Manor Apartments. Interest expense increased for both periods primarily due to the September 2007 refinancing of the mortgage encumbering Highcrest Townhomes, which resulted in a higher debt balance, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on advances from an affiliate of the General Partner as a result of a lower average outstanding advance balance in 2008 and an increase in capitalized interest at Glenbridge Manor Apartments. Property tax expense decreased for both periods due to a decrease in the tax rate at Highcrest Townhomes and an increase in capitalized property taxes at Glenbridge Manor Apartments. Depreciation expense decreased for both periods due to assets placed into service in previous years becoming fully depreciated at Highcrest Townhomes during the fourth quarter of 2007.
During 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. One building containing 12 units has been demolished, and other building was partially 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 intends to seek recovery of damages through insurance proceeds and/or recovery from responsible third parties, and at this time does not expect to record a loss from this event. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership entered into contracts for approximately $3,400,000 to begin reconstruction of which approximately $2,615,000 has been spent as of September 30, 2008. As a result of this project, construction period interest expense of approximately $108,000, construction period property tax expense of approximately $25,000 and construction period operating costs of approximately $2,000 have been capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In addition, the Partnership received an advance of approximately $3,650,000 from AIMCO Properties, L.P. in order to expedite clean up and reconstruction of the property.
In September 2008, Windemere Apartments sustained damage from Hurricane Ike. The damages are estimated to be approximately $500,000, including clean up costs of approximately $125,000. The Partnership does not expect to recognize a loss as insurance proceeds are anticipated to be sufficient to cover the cost of any damages. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the estimated clean up costs are included in operating expenses.
In September 2008, Glenbridge Manor Apartments sustained minor damage from Hurricane Ike. The clean up costs are currently estimated to be approximately $25,000. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the estimated clean up costs are included in operating expenses.
In February 2007, Glenbridge Manor Apartments experienced damages of approximately $35,000 as a result of frozen pipes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized a casualty loss of approximately $3,000, which is included in operating expenses, as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds ofapproximately $25,000, net of the write-off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $28,000.
General and administrative expenses increased for both periods 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.
Total revenues remained constant for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as both rental and other income remained relatively constant. Total revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 due to an increase in other income. Rental income remained relatively constant for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Other income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 due to increases in resident utility reimbursements at Windemere Apartments and Highcrest Townhomes and lease cancellation fees at Highcrest Townhomes and Glenbridge Manor Apartments.
The equity in loss from investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 under 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership received approximately $33,000 from one of its affiliated partnerships, Consolidated Capital Growth Fund, which was recognized as income on the statement of operations. No such distributions were received during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2008, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,582,000, compared to approximately $1,688,000 at September 30, 2007. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,128,000, from December 31, 2007, is due to approximately $866,000 and $528,000 of cash provided by investing and operating activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $266,000 of cash used in financing activities. Cash provided by investing activities consisted of net proceeds from the sale of Canyon Crest Apartments, net withdrawals from restricted escrows, distributions received from an affiliated partnership and insurance proceeds received, partially offset by property improvements and replacements. Cash used in financing activities consisted of repayment of the mortgage encumbering Canyon Crest Apartments, principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership’s investment properties, a distribution to partners, repayment of advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., a prepayment penalty and loan costs paid, partially offset by advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. 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 $4,139,000 and $421,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to fund reconstruction related to the casualty at Glenbridge Manor Apartments and operations, capital improvements, and real estate taxes at two of the investment properties. Interest is charged at the prime rate plus 2% (7.00% at September 30, 2008). Interest expense was approximately $149,000 and $198,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership repaid approximately $102,000 and$4,052,000 of principal and interest from proceeds from the sale of Canyon Crest Apartments and the refinancing of the mortgage encumbering Highcrest Townhomes, respectively. At September 30, 2008, approximately $4,186,000 in advances and accrued interest remain unpaid and are 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. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $116,000 to fund operations and capital improvements at Windemere Apartments.
The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state and local legal and regulatory requirements. The General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. Capital improvements planned for each of the Partnership's properties are detailed below.
Canyon Crest Apartments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $168,000 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 replacement reserves, operations and insurance proceeds. The Partnership sold Canyon Crest Apartments to third parties on August 1, 2008.
Windemere Apartments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $230,000 of capital improvements at Windemere Apartments, consisting primarily of structural upgrades, kitchen and bath upgrades and floor covering replacement. These improvements were funded from operations and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. 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 the remainder of 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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $152,000 of capital improvements at Highcrest Townhomes, consisting primarily of water and sewer upgrades, structural upgrades, and HVAC and floor covering replacements. 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 the remainder of 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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $2,752,000 of capital improvements at Glenbridge Manor Apartments,consisting primarily of structural improvements, floor covering replacement, construction related to the casualty discussed above, and the capitalization of construction period interest of approximately $108,000, property taxes of approximately $25,000 and operating costs of approximately $2,000. These improvements were funded from operations and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. The Partnership expects to continue reconstruction resulting from the casualty discussed above. While the Partnership has no other material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during the remainder of 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. Total capitalized loan costs associated with the new mortgage were approximately $213,000, of which approximately $204,000 was incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and are included in other assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Partnership recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $18,000, which is included in interest expense on the accompanying statements of operations, as a result of a prepayment penalty paid, partially offset by the write off of the unamortized mortgage premium. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing.
The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Windemere Apartments of approximately $4,827,000 is being amortized over 240 months and requires a balloon payment of approximately $4,189,000 in 2010. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Glenbridge Manor Apartments of approximately $19,402,000 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.
The Partnership distributed the following amounts to the Series B unit holders during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands, except per unit data):
| | Per | | Per Limited |
| Nine months ended | Series B | Nine months ended | Partnership |
| September 30, 2008 | Unit | September 30, 2007 | Unit |
| | | | |
Sales (1) | $ 640 | $ 0.70 | $ -- | $ -- |
(1) Proceeds from the August 2008 sale of Canyon Crest Apartments.
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. There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital expenditures, to permit any additional 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 574,169.95 Series A and Series B limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 63.16% of the outstanding Units at September 30, 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, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO.
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 ofapartments 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 including interest, property taxes and operating costs associated with redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress in accordance with SFAS No. 34, “Capitalization of Interest Costs”, and 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.
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 4T. 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
The Partnership has previously disclosed in its quarterly, annual and current reports the legal proceedings related to the Nuanes and Heller actions. On June 30, 2006, the trial court entered an order confirming its approval of the class action settlement and entering judgment thereto after the Court of Appeal had remanded the matter for further findings. On August 31, 2006, an objector filed an appeal from the order. The Court of Appeal issued an opinion on February 20, 2008, affirming the order approving the settlement and judgment entered thereto, and the California Supreme Court thereafter denied the objector’s petition for review. All appeals have now been exhausted, and the Court’s order approving the settlement and entering judgment is now final. Payments associated with the settlement were disbursed during September 2008.
As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”). The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”). In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action. In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions. In the second quarter 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts will be dismissed. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership was charged approximately $3,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment properties. At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. The General Partner is uncertain as to the amount of any additional loss that may be allocable to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership cannot estimate whether any additional loss will occur or a potential range of loss.
