Note D – Sale of Investment Properties
On March 5, 2010, the Partnership sold Sienna Bay Apartments to a third party for a gross sales price of $16,850,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $3,468,000 after payment of closing costs of approximately $296,000, the assumption of the mortgage of approximately $10,586,000 by the purchaser and financing of $2,500,000 provided by the Partnership (see Note E). In connection with the sale, the Partnership received a non-refundable sale deposit of $1,000,000 from the purchaser during the year ended December 31, 2009, which was included as deferred revenue in liabilities related to assets held for sale at December 31, 2009. The sale deposit was released during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and is included with the net proceeds realized by the Partnership (as discussed above). The Partnership recognized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $7,708,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as a result of the sale. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $44,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs, which is included in loss from discontinued operations.

In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $492,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, which is included in loss from discontinued operations, due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs and the payment of a prepayment penalty associated with the payment of the mortgage of approximately $465,000.
Note E – Note Receivable
In connection with the sale of Sienna Bay Apartments, the Partnership provided $2,500,000 in financing to the purchaser (the “Seller Loan”). Monthly payments of interest only are due beginning May 1, 2010 through the Seller Loan’s October 10, 2012 maturity, which is consistent with the maturity of the senior mortgage loan encumbering Sienna Bay Apartments that was assumed by the purchaser in connection with the sale. Interest on the Seller Loan will be payable at a rate of 5.0% each year until maturity. At the date of the sale, the fair value of the note receivable was approximately $2,389,000 and accordingly the Partnership recorded a discount of approximately $111,000 which was calculated using a rate of 7%. The discount will be amortized over the term of the note. At September 30, 2010, the unamortized discount on the note receivable was approximately $93,000.
Note F – Financing of Mortgage Notes Payable
On March 31, 2009, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage in the principal amount of $4,030,000 on Cedar Rim Apartments. The second mortgage bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 6.45% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $25,000 beginning May 1, 2009through the August 1, 2021 maturity date. The second mortgage has a balloon payment of approximately $3,209,000 due at maturity. The Partnership may prepay the second mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain non-recourse carve-out obligations of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing.In connection with the new loan, the Partnership incurred loan costs of approximately $78,000, which were capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and are included in other assets.
In connection with the second mortgage loan, the Partnership also agreed to certain modifications on the existing mortgage loan encumbering Cedar Rim Apartments. The modification includes a fixed interest rate of 7.49% per annum and monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $27,000, commencing May 1, 2009 through the August 1, 2021 maturity date, at which time a balloon payment of approximately $3,189,000 is due. Total loan costs associated with the modification of the existing mortgage were approximately $20,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and are included in general and administrative expenses. The previous terms were a fixed interest rate of 7.49% per annum and monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $40,000 through the August 1, 2021 maturity date, at which date the mortgage was scheduled to be fully amortized. The Partnership may prepay the first mortgage loan at any time subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain non-recourse carve-out obligations of the Partnership with respect to the modified loan.
Note G – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnershipbelieves that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for mortgage notes payable) approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its note receivable as described in Note E above. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its mortgage notes payable by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be available to the Partnership for similar term, mortgage notes payable. At September 30, 2010, the fair value of the Partnership's mortgage notes payable at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate was approximately $43,260,000.
Note H – Contingencies
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 (“the Defendants”) 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 of 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 have been dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $5,000 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. Pursuant to the global settlement agreement, the parties selected six test “on-call” cases to be arbitrated. The parties arbitrated four “on-call” claims and obtained defense verdicts on all four. Two additional “on-call” claims were dismissed with prejudice. The process now calls for the parties to attempt to mediate the remaining “on-call” claims and plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, and the mediation is currently scheduled for November 16, 2010. 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, including lead-based paint. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of its properties, the Partnership couldpotentially 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 Quarterly Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking within the meaning of the federal securities laws, 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 these forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control including, without limitation: financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing and the risk that the Partnership’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; natural disasters and severe weather 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; real estate risks, including fluctuations inreal estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for residents in such markets; insurance risk, including the cost of insurance; 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, as well as 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 each of the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:
| Average Occupancy | |
Property | 2010 | 2009 |
|
|
|
Cedar Rim Apartments (1) | 96% | 92% |
New Castle, Washington |
|
|
Lamplighter Park Apartments (1) | 98% | 92% |
Bellevue, Washington |
|
|
Tamarac Village Apartments | 97% | 95% |
Denver, Colorado |
|
|
(1) The General Partner attributes the increases in occupancy at Cedar Rim Apartments and Lamplighter Park Apartments to an increase in rental concessions and a decrease in rental rates in order to attract new and maintain current tenants. The increase in occupancy at Lamplighter Park Apartments is also attributable to an improved economy in the local market area.
The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment properties, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment properties, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the General Partnermay 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 that are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively affect the Partnership’s financial results.
Results of Operations
The Partnership’s net loss was approximately $758,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and net income was approximately $5,108,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to net income of approximately $4,528,000 and $2,127,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 have been restated to reflect the operations of Sienna Bay Apartments as discontinued operations as a result of the sale of the property in March 2010. The accompanying statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 also reflect the operations of Williamsburg Manor Apartments as discontinued operations as a result of the sale of the property in September 2009. Sienna Bay Apartments was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2009, as such, the balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 reflects the respective assets and liabilities of Sienna Bay Apartments as held for sale.
The following table presents summarized results of operations related to the Partnership’s discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

On March 5, 2010, the Partnership sold Sienna Bay Apartments to a third party for a gross sales price of $16,850,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $3,468,000 after payment of closing costs of approximately $296,000, the assumption of the mortgage of approximately $10,586,000 by the purchaser and financing of $2,500,000 provided by the Partnership. In connection with the sale, the Partnership received a non-refundable sale deposit of $1,000,000 from the purchaser during the year ended December 31, 2009, which was included as deferred revenue in liabilities related to assets held for sale at December 31, 2009. The sale deposit was released during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and is included with the net proceeds realized by the Partnership (as discussed above). The Partnership recognized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $7,708,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the sale. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $44,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs, which is included in loss from discontinuedoperations. In connection with the sale of Sienna Bay Apartments, the Partnership provided $2,500,000 in financing to the purchaser (the “Seller Loan”). Monthly payments of interest only are due beginning May 1, 2010 through the Seller Loan’s October 10, 2012 maturity, which is consistent with the maturity of the senior mortgage loan encumbering Sienna Bay Apartments that was assumed by the purchaser in connection with the sale. Interest on the Seller Loan will be payable at a rate of 5.0% each year until maturity.
On September 30, 2009, the Partnership sold Williamsburg Manor Apartments to a third party for a gross sales price of $10,350,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $10,170,000 after payment of closing costs. The Partnership used approximately $4,871,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property. The Partnership realized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $6,342,000 as a result of the sale, which was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $492,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, which is included in loss from discontinued operations, due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs and the payment of a prepayment penalty associated with the payment of the mortgage of approximately $465,000.
The Partnership recognized losses from continuing operations of approximately $758,000 and $2,527,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to losses from continuing operations of approximately $1,081,000 and $3,114,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The decrease in loss from continuing operations for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is due to an increase in total revenues and a decrease in total expenses, partially offset by a decrease in the recognition of casualty gain.
Total revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to increases in rental and other income. Total revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to an increase in other income, partially offset by a decrease in rental income. Rental income increased for the three month period due to an increase in occupancy at all of the Partnership’s investment properties and an increase in the average rental rate at Lamplighter Park Apartments, partially offset by decreases in the average rental rate at Tamarac Village Apartments and Cedar Rim Apartments. Rental income decreased for the nine month period due to decreases in the average rental rate at all of the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by an increase in occupancy at all of the Partnership’s investment properties. Other income increased for both periods due to an increase in resident utility reimbursements at all of the Partnership’s investment properties as a result of higher heating and water costs and interest income earned on the note receivable related to the sale of Sienna Bay Apartments, partially offset by a decrease in lease cancellation fees at all of the Partnership’s investment properties.
Total expenses decreased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to decreases in operating, general and administrative and interest expenses. Depreciation and property tax expenses remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. Operating expense decreased for both periods due to decreases in salaries and related benefits at all of the Partnership’s investment properties, advertising costs at Cedar Rim Apartments and clean up costs at Tamarac Village Apartments due to roof leaks in 2009, partially offset by increases in utility costs at Tamarac Village Apartments. Interest expense decreased for both periods primarily due to a decrease in interest on advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, as a result of payments made on the advances during 2010 and 2009, partially offset by an increase in interest expense as a result of the second mortgages obtained on Cedar Rim Apartments during March 2009 and Tamarac Village Apartments during October 2009.
General and administrative expense decreased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to costs incurred with the modification of the first mortgage at Cedar Rim Apartments during March 2009, decreases in management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement andcosts incurred in 2009 associated with communications to regulatory agencies and investors. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are costs associated with the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.
During June 2008, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Lamplighter Park Apartments, sustained damage from a fire of approximately $24,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Partnership received approximately $14,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain of approximately $11,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $3,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
During August 2008, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Lamplighter Park Apartments, sustained damage from a fire of approximately $30,000 which included clean-up costs of approximately $9,000. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership removed approximately $2,000 of undepreciated damaged assets and recorded a corresponding receivable for the estimated insurance proceeds. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Partnership received approximately $20,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain of approximately $18,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated assets of approximately $2,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
During October 2009, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Lamplighter Park Apartments, sustained storm damage from leaking roofs of approximately $49,000, including clean-up costs of approximately $22,000 which were included in operating expense during the fourth quarter of 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $42,000 including approximately $3,000 for rental loss and approximately $12,000 for clean-up costs. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $25,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as a result of receiving insurance proceeds of approximately $27,000 net of the write off of approximately $2,000 of undepreciated damaged assets.
During September 2010, one of the Partnership’s investment properties, Cedar Rim Apartments, sustained damage from a broken water line. The initial estimate of the cost to repair the damage is approximately $35,000. The Partnership is currently working with its insurance carriers to determine the extent of the repairs that will be covered by insurance proceeds. No casualty loss is anticipated.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2010, the Partnerhsip had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $345,000 compared to approximately $196,000 at December 31, 2009. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $149,000 is due to approximately $1,848,000 and $926,000 of cash provided by investing and operating activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $2,625,000 of cash used in financing activities. Cash provided by investing activities consisted of proceeds from the sale of Sienna Bay Apartments, net withdrawals from escrows, and insurance proceeds received, partially offset by property improvements and replacements and the release of sale deposits. Cash used in financing activities consisted of repayment of advances from an affiliate, payments on mortgage notes payable and distributions to partners, partially offset by advances received from an affiliate.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $47,000 to cover expenses related to operations at Tamarac Village Apartments and Cedar Rim Apartments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $53,000 to cover expenses related to operations at each of the Partnership’s properties and approximately $81,000 to cover a refinance commitment fee at Cedar Rim Apartments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P. approximately $667,000, which included approximately $6,000 of accrued interest, with proceeds from the sale of Sienna Bay Apartments and operating cash flow. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Partnership repaidAIMCO Properties, L.P. approximately $3,862,000, which included approximately $690,000 of accrued interest, with proceeds from the mortgage debt financing at Cedar Rim Apartments and operating cash flow. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement. The interest rates charged on the outstanding advances made to the Partnership range from the prime rate to a variable rate based on the prime rate plus a market rate adjustment for similar type loans. Affiliates of the General Partner review the market rate adjustment quarterly. Interest expense on outstanding advance balances was approximately $1,000 and $399,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2009, total advances and accrued interest of approximately $619,000 were unpaid and owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P., which were included in due to affiliates. There were no such amounts owed at September 30, 2010. 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 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.
Cedar Rim Apartments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $42,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during the remainder of 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
Lamplighter Park Apartments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $265,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of building and parking area improvements, lighting, appliance, and floor covering replacements and construction related to the casualty discussed above. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and insurance proceeds. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during the remainder of 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
Tamarac Village Apartments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $509,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of building and parking area improvements, kitchen and bath resurfacing, and appliance and floor covering replacements.These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and replacement reserves. 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 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
Sienna Bay Apartments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $7,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. This property was sold during March 2010.
Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership reserves or advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to fund 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 sufficient for near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Partnership's properties of approximately $36,530,000 requires monthly payments until the loans mature between July 2019 and August 2021 and have balloon payments totaling approximately $30,275,000 due at maturity. The General Partner may attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to termination of the Partnership.
The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per unit data).

(1) Proceeds from the March 2010 sale of Sienna Bay Apartments.
Subsequent to September 30, 2010, the Partnership distributed approximately $240,000 of sale proceeds from the March 2010 sale of Sienna Bay Apartments (approximately $.62 per limited partnership unit).
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, 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 required capital improvement expenditures, to permit any additional distributions to its partners in 2010 or subsequent periods.
Other
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 239,212 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 62.46% of the outstanding Units at September 30, 2010. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 62.46% 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 generalpartner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Investment properties are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated 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; changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing; and changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. Any adverse changes in these and other factors could cause an 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.
Assets Held for Sale
The Partnership classifies long-lived assets as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset; the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated; the sale of the asset is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year; the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Depreciation is not recorded during the period in which the long-lived asset is classified as held for sale. When the asset is designated as held for sale, the related results of operations are presented as discontinued operations.
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 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 inInternal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
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 (“the Defendants”) 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 of 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 have been dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $5,000 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. Pursuant to the global settlement agreement, the parties selected six test “on-call” cases to be arbitrated. The parties arbitrated four “on-call” claims and obtained defense verdicts on all four. Two additional “on-call” claims were dismissed with prejudice. The process now calls for the parties to attempt to mediate the remaining “on-call” claims and plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, and the mediation is currently scheduled for November 16, 2010. 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.
Item 6. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index Attached.
The agreements included as exhibits to this Form 10-Q contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and:
- should not in all instances be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;
- have been qualified by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement, which disclosures are not necessarily reflected in the agreement;
- may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material to an investor; and
- were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement and are subject to more recent developments.
Accordingly, these representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs as of the date they were made or at any other time. The Partnership acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this Form 10-Q not misleading. Additional information about the Partnership may be found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and thePartnership’s other public filings, which are available without charge through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
