INTERSTATE GENERAL COMPANY L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Interstate General Company L.P. ("IGC" or "the Company"), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on September 26, 1986. On December 31, 1986, IGC acquired substantially all of the
community development, homebuilding, investment properties and management services businesses of Interstate General Business Corporation, Interstate St. Charles, Inc., and a trust for the benefit of the stockholders of Interstate General Business
Corporation. The Company's 1% general partner interest is shared by the managing general partner, Interstate General Management Corporation, and Interstate Business Corporation ("IGMC" and "IBC", respectively, referred to collectively as the "General
Partner").
On October 5, 1998, IGC transferred its principal real estate operations to American Community Properties Trust ("ACPT"), and subsequently distributed all of the common shares of ACPT to the partners and unit holders of IGC (the "Distribution").
The purpose of the restructuring was to create an attractive investment vehicle for the principal real estate assets and operations held by IGC that would not be burdened with the operating losses of American Family Homes, LLC ("AFH"), the capital needs
of Interstate Waste Technologies, Inc. ("IWT"), and Caribe Waste Technologies ("CWT"), or with the Wetlands litigation discussed below. As a result of the distribution, the Company's historical results of operations for September 30, 1999 are not readily
comparable with the results of operations for September 30, 1998.
After the restructuring, IGC continues to own certain assets summarized in this paragraph. These assets include the Towne Center land in St. Charles, Maryland which has been the subject of Wetlands litigation, certain single family home lots in
the Dorchester neighborhood, also in St. Charles, Maryland, certain land in Pomfret, Maryland and in St. Mary's County, Maryland, a 50% interest in a partnership that owns land in Brandywine, Maryland, all of the shares of AFH (excluding shares issued as
incentive compensation for employees), rights to collect the principal balance of a note in the amount of $7.986 million payable by a subsidiary of ACPT, as well as fractional interests in Chastleton Apartment Associates, Coachman's Limited Partnership,
Headen House Associates Limited Partnership, Palmer Apartments Associates Limited Partnership, Wakefield Terrace Associates Limited Partnership and Wakefield Third Age Associates Limited Partnership. To avoid termination of the partnerships for tax
purposes, sixty percent of the general partner interest in the latter four partnerships was not transferred from IGC to ACPT with the other assets. These partnership interests will be transferred to ACPT when Banc One releases the lien it holds on them.
As part of the asset transfers, IGC conditionally agreed to transfer to ACPT 14 acres of land in St. Charles that currently is zoned for commercial use (the "Commercial Parcel") if and when IGC settles the wetlands litigation on terms approved by the
Board of Directors of IGC's general partner, provided that IGC shall have received confirmation that the transfer of the Commercial Parcel (and resulting decrease in the value of IGC's assets) will not cause the IGC Units to be delisted from AMEX or the
PSE. IGC has come to an agreement with the Government to settle the wetlands litigation subject to acceptance by the Court on November 22, 1999.
All of the common stock of IWT and CWT (excluding shares issued as incentive compensation for employees) is held in a trust (the "CWT Trust") for the benefit of the IGC Unit holders.
On October 19, 1998, IGC implemented a one-for-five reverse unit split with respect to the IGC Units (the "Reverse Split"). The purpose of the Reverse Split was to increase the post-distribution trading price of IGC units.
(2) IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued. This statement establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a
recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure to a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized
firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction. Due to the issuance of SFAS No. 137, this statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Although
currently IGC has no derivative instruments, this statement would apply to derivative instruments acquired in future periods.

Prior to the distribution of ACPT, the company had interests in 19 partnerships owning 4,563 rental units in 22 apartment complexes. At September 30, 1999, IGC had small fractional interests
in 6 partnerships owning 1,000 rental units in 6 apartment complexes. The Company holds a general partner interest in these partnerships and generally shares in zero to 5% of profits, losses and cash flow from operations until such time as the limited
partners receive cash distributions equal to their capital contributions. Pursuant to the partnership agreements, the general partners are prohibited from selling or refinancing the apartment complexes without majority limited partner approval. Due to
the absence of control and non-majority ownership, these partnerships are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The properties that the Company held interests in at September 30, 1999, Chastleton Apartments Associates, Coachman's Limited Partnership, Headen House Associates Limited Partnership, Palmer
Apartments Associates Limited Partnership, Wakefield Terrace Associates Limited Partnership and Wakefield Third Age Associates Limited Partnership, were placed in service prior to 1995. As part of the prior reorganization, the Company will transfer its
interest in all of the partnerships except Chastleton Apartments Associates and Coachman's Limited Partnership to ACPT during the fourth quarter of 1999.

*P = Prime lending interest rate.
As of September 30, 1999, the $1,771,000 of recourse debt related to community development assets is collateralized by $6,869,000 of community development assets.
The homebuilding debt is secured by substantially all of the homebuilding assets.
The company has guaranteed loans totaling $10,840,000 related to the Brandywine project. At September 30, 1999, $1,637,000 is outstanding relating to this debt. The amount outstanding represents the first draw toward the development of this
project. Assets with a book value of $9,016,000 serve to collateralize this debt. The Brandywine project is being developed in a partnership. The results of which are included using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly the debt is not included
in these financial statements.
The Company is presently negotiating to extend the debt due October 28, 1999. Management expects to receive a two year extension.
The Company's loans contain various financial, cross-default and technical provisions of which the Company is currently in compliance.

Certain officers, directors and a general partner, Interstate Business Corporation ("IBC"), of the Company have ownership interests in various entities that conducted business with IGC during the last two years. The financial impact of the related
party transactions on the accompanying financial statements are reflected below: (in thousands)
(A) Other
Other transactions with related parties are as follows:
(1) IGC rented executive office space and other property from affiliates both in the United States and Puerto Rico through October 5, 1998. IBC continues to provide tax support services to IGC and did so during 1998 as well.
(2) Thomas J. Shafer became a director of IGMC, IGC's general partner, in 1998 after his retirement from Whitman, Requardt, where he was a Senior Partner. Whitman, Requardt provides engineering services to IGC. Thomas J. Shafer is also a
director of ACPT. In management's opinion, services performed are on the same terms provided to other clients.
(3) During the fourth quarter of 1998 and the first three quarters of 1999, the Company received working capital advances from IBC. Beginning April 1, 1999, interest accrued at 1% over the prime rate. The Company expects some additional
funding to continue through the remainder of 1999. At September 30, 1999, the outstanding balance of working capital loans payable to IBC, including principal and interest, was $2,452,000.
(4) During the transition period after the Distribution, the Company received land development, accounting, tax, human resources, payroll processing, and other miscellaneous administrative support services from ACPT. After the transition
period, ACPT has agreed to provide human resources, payroll processing and tax services to IGC on a cost reimbursement basis.
(6) LITIGATION
Wetlands Litigation
On February 29, 1996, IGC, its affiliate SCA, and James J. Wilson, IGC's chairman and CEO, were convicted on four felony counts of violations
of Section 404 of the U.S. Clean Water Act (CWA) relating to discharge without a permit of fill material into wetlands within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' regulatory jurisdiction. The nine civil violations of the CWA filed by the U.S. Attorney were
dismissed without prejudice. The Company was fined $3,000,000, placed on probation for five years and ordered to implement a wetlands restoration and mitigation plan proposed by the government. Mr. Wilson was fined $1,000,000 and sentenced to 21 months
imprisonment and one year of supervised release. Appeals were filed and Mr. Wilson's sentence was stayed pending appeal by the Court of Appeals. On December 23, 1997, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the lower court's
decision and remanded the matter back to the lower court for retrial.
On August 26, 1999, IGC agreed to plead guilty to a single violation of the CWA. The violation involves the placing of fill in 1990 by a contractor for IGC while constructing a road through Dorchester Neighborhood in St. Charles, Maryland. IGC
agreed to pay a fine of $1 million and to transfer 2 acres of land in Town Center South to a land conservation or similar organization. IGC and its affiliate, St. Charles Associates, L.P. (SCA) also agreed to enter into a consent decree whereby a civil
complaint by the government against them for alleged violations of the CWA would be dismissed. Under the consent decree, IGC and SCA agreed to pay a civil penalty of $400,000 and complete within 24 months a remediation plan covering certain land in Town
Center South and in another location at St. Charles. IGC and SCA also entered into a compliance agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency resolving all debarment matters arising out of the alleged CWA violations. Under the plea agreement
and consent decree, all criminal charges against James J. Wilson, IGC's chairman and CEO, are to be dismissed. The plea agreement and consent decree require court approval. The hearing for this purpose is scheduled for November 22, 1999.
Management believes that the cost of the disposition of the wetlands litigation, as discussed above, not including the cost of remediation, will not exceed the $1.5 million currently reserved by IGC. The proposed disposition of the wetlands
litigation, if approved by the court, will free up approximately 80 acres of commercial land in St. Charles for development.
Lead-Based Paint Allegations
Subsequent to year end, American Rental Management Company ("ARMC"), a subsidiary of ACPT, Chastleton Apartments Associates ("Chastleton Associates") (a housing partnership in which IGC is the general partner), and Capitol Park Apartments
Associates (the owner of an apartment complex managed by ARMC) received notification from the U.S. Department of Justice (the "Department") that they were in violation of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (the "Act"). These
allegations were based on a finding by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") that the owners and/or management had failed to make required disclosures regarding lead-based paint to certain tenants in two apartment projects -
The Chastleton and Capitol Park. The Act authorizes HUD to assess administrative penalties for such failures.
The original Department notification was addressed to ARMC, the current managing agent. However, most of the alleged violations occurred during IGC's previous tenure as management agent. IGC has agreed with ACPT to accept the responsibility for
paying any potential penalties that might be assessed against ARMC. Further, as the general partner of Chastleton Associates, IGC is liable for any obligations of Chastleton Associates and so would be liable if Chastleton Associates were unable to pay
any fines levied against it.
On June 9, 1999, HUD issued an administrative complaint seeking civil money penalties from ARMC, to which ARMC responded on June 24, 1999. HUD thereafter filed a First Amended Complaint on September 9, 1999 against ARMC, IGC, and Chastleton
Associates (the "Respondents"). The Respondents filed a Response and Motion to Dismiss on September 24, 1999. HUD officially docketed these pleading with the Chief Docket Clerk on September 30, 1999. Additional motions have been filed, and discovery is
ongoing. The HUD Administrative Law Judge has scheduled trial to begin on December 6, 1999.
Meanwhile, on July 15, 1999, HUD and the U.S. Department of Justice filed suit against ARMC and Chastleton Associates (the "Defendants") in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief based on
alleged violations of the Act. This action does not seek any money damages from the Defendants but does seek "remediation" of the alleged violations which could be costly. The Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss or, in the Alternative, a Motion for
Summary Judgment on August 10, 1999. The government, in turn, filed its own Motion for Summary Judgment on August 24, 1999. The U.S. District Court has not yet acted on these motions.
Since first receiving notice of the alleged violations, the Company has actively tried to settle this matter but has been unable to reach agreement with the government. Settlement appears unlikely at this time. The Company asserts that there is
no basis for the declaratory and injunctive relief sought in the federal court suit. Insofar as the administrative action for civil money penalties is concerned, the Company disputes a number of the violations alleged by HUD and asserts that no penalties
should be imposed for any violations that did occur. It is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome with respect to those matters or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss. The Company believes that it has substantial
defenses to both matters and intends to contest them vigorously.
(7) SEGMENT INFORMATION
In 1998,
IGC had four reportable segments: AFH, IWT/CWT, U.S. land and other, and Puerto Rico. Due to the Distribution in October 1998, IGC has no Puerto Rico segment for 1999. U.S. land
and other operations include investment in rental properties, community development, and management services. The Puerto Rico operations included investment in rental properties, investment in commercial properties, community development, management
services, and homebuilding through a joint venture.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the December 31, 1998 financial statements. The following present the segment information for the nine months ended

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed and statements made within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties,
and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained. These risks are detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission or other public statements.
Effective October 5, 1998, the Company distributed the majority of its real estate development business to ACPT. As a result, the Company's historical results of operations for September 30, 1999 are not readily comparable with the results of
operations for September 30, 1998. Accordingly, the unaudited results for September 30, 1999 and unaudited pro forma results for September 30, 1998 have also been presented as if the Distribution had been completed on January 1, 1998. This information
is provided for purposes of completing the Management's Discussion and Analysis and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 which show the historical operations of the
Company.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 versus Pro Forma 1998
Community Development Operations
Community development land sales revenue increased to $899,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to sales of $210,000 during the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1998. The 1999 period reflects sales of
approximately 21 single family home lots as well as 11 townhome lots, while the 1998 pro forma period reflects only five sales. Thirteen of the 1999 single family home lot sales occurred in the St. Mary's County, Maryland project of Westbury. Gross
profit margin for these sales was 16%. The remaining single family home lot sales for 1999 were for the Montclair project in Prince William County, Virginia. The townhome lots had negative margins on land sales for 1999, primarily due to a lack of
volume sufficient to cover related period costs included in cost of sales.
Homebuilding Operations
Revenues from home sales increased 24% to $6,765,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 1999, as compared to $5,455,000 during the pro forma nine month period ending September 30, 1998. The 1999 revenues were a result of increased home
sales. In 1999, the Company sold 57 scatter-site sales as compared to 1998 scatter-site sales of 49. There was a slight 1% increase in construction gross profit for the nine month period ending September 30, 1999, as compared to the pro forma nine month
period ending September 30, 1998.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income increased 13% to $797,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 1999 as compared to $707,000 during the pro forma nine month period ending September 30, 1998. The increase is due to the recognition of the
unamortized discount of a note receivable, which was paid in full during the third quarter of 1999.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses increased to $1,473,000 from $561,000 during the pro forma nine months ending September 30, 1998 to $2,034,000 during the same period for 1999. This increase is a result of salaries for additional employees and
higher office expenses incurred upon opening the new company headquarters in Chantilly, Virginia.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $277,000 to $315,000 in the nine months ending September 30, 1999, as compared to $38,000 for the same pro forma period in 1998. The increase is due to an increase in debt outstanding during 1999 as well as the Company's
general partner, IBC, charging interest at 1% over the prime rate on the outstanding balance owed at September 30, 1999.
For the Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 versus Pro Forma 1998
Community Development Operations
Community development land sales revenue increased to $287,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to sales of $159,000 during the pro forma three months ended September 30, 1998. The 1999 period reflects sales of
approximately 10 single family home lots, while the 1998 pro forma period reflects six single family home lots. Gross profit margin for these sales was 16%. The townhome lots had negative margins on land sales for 1999 primarily due to a lack of volume
on land sales not covering related period costs being included in cost of sales.
Homebuilding Operations
Revenues from home sales decreased to $1,488,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 1999, as compared to $1,826,000 during the pro forma three month period ending September 30, 1998. The 1999 revenues were a result of 12 scatter-site
sales as compared to the 1998 revenues resulting from 18 scatter-site sales.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income increased 29% to $287,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 1999 as compared to $212,000 during the pro forma three month period ending September 30, 1998. The increase is due to the recognition of the
unamortized discount of a note receivable, which was paid in full during the third quarter of 1999.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses increased $377,000 from $220,000 during the pro forma three months ending September 30, 1998 to $597,000 during the same period for 1999. This increase is a result of salaries for additional personnel and higher
office expenses incurred upon opening the new company headquarters in Chantilly, Virginia.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $109,000 to $122,000 in the three months ending September 30, 1999, as compared to $13,000 for the same pro forma period in 1998. The increase is due to an increase in the debt outstanding during 1999. The Company's
general partner, IBC, charged interest at 1% over the prime rate on the outstanding balance owed at September 30, 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash equivalents were $429,000 and $33,000 respectively at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.
IGC historically has met its liquidity requirements principally from cash flow generated from home and land sales, property management fees, distributions from residential rental partnerships and from bank financing providing funds for development
and working capital. As a result of the distribution and the development status of the land assets that the company retained, IGC expects to meet its liquidity requirements principally from land sales as well as bank and other financing facilities.
The Company's principal demands for liquidity are expected to be ongoing debt service for existing loans, land development costs for the Company's land assets, payables and normal operating costs, the remission of the fine related to the Wetland's
settlement, the funding of the remediation work required under that settlement, and continued funding of development costs for IWT and CWT.
AFH historically has had cash needs in excess of those generated through operations and has substantial vendor payables. Management is currently engaged in efforts to reduce its cash needs in order to make it profitable and cash flow positive.
For the fourth quarter of 1999, based on homes currently under contract, management believes that AFH's cash needs will be greatly reduced.
The penalties relating to the Wetland's settlement (see Wetland litigation, page 26) total $1,400,000. The preliminary estimate is that the cost of remediation may range up to $1.6 million. The plea agreement and consent decree allows IGC to
resume development of 80 acres of improved commercial land in Town Center South, the heart of St. Charles, that IGC has earmarked for retention as rental property to be developed by IGC alone or in joint ventures for retail use. Management may look to
the underlying value of this property to finance the penalties as well as the remediation costs required by the agreement.
Management believes the Company's real estate assets have substantial value and their development can be financed on a conventional project finance basis. In July 1999, the Company closed a loan with Mercantile Mortgage Corporation for the
development and construction of the Brandywine project. The components of the $10,840,000 loan are a $4,490,000 infrastructure loan, a $2,900,000 revolving line of credit for the development and construction of single family homes in the first phase, as
well as a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit for the development and construction of townhomes. Upon closing the Company received $1,000,000 to reimburse pre-development and engineering costs. Also in July, the Company signed a Lot Purchase Agreement
with Ryan Homes for the sale of 54 lots in the Prince William County, Virginia development of Montclair. The purchase price per lot is $25,500. In November 1999, The Company closed a $800,000 loan with Chevy Chase Bank to finance the development of the
Montclair lots. IGC intends to continue to refinance, as appropriate, certain debts as they become due in the normal course of business. The Company has two loans that mature during the fourth quarter for which it expects to reach agreements to extend
the maturity dates. Negotiations are presently underway on one extension.
It is not likely that the Company will generate in the near term sufficient revenues from operations to cover its general and administrative expenses, a substantial portion of which are attributable to operations of IWT/CWT. The proposed waste
disposal plant operations of IWT/CWT are subject to municipal and other government bidding procedures, contract award, permitting and other approvals. A number of proposals by IWT/CWT to build waste disposal plants in the Caribbean and elsewhere are in
various stages of the procurement process. Although management believes IWT/CWT will be successful, it cannot predict when IWT/CWT will eventually generate positive cash flow.
The Company expects to collect a $7.986 million note receivable due from an affiliate of ACPT. In the meantime, IBC, IGC's general partner, is making loans to IBC that will be repaid from that note. IBC has agreed to continue funding the cash
needs of IGC by purchasing an interest in that note. Other sources of revenue include proceeds from the sale or development of approximately 80 acres of commercial land in St. Charles' Town Center South that would be available for sale when the pending
wetland's litigation is settled (see Wetland Litigation, p. 26), and the possible sale or development of IGC's 812-acre Pomfret parcel in Charles County, Maryland. The company also has various parcels of unencumbered land that are available for sale.
The liability to pay income taxes by IGC for taxes incurred prior to the distribution to ACPT were assumed by ACPT. IGC recorded a provision for income taxes through the distribution date for all taxable income prior to October 5, 1998 and has
recorded a receivable from ACPT to reflect the obligation of ACPT to pay those taxes.
The Company's liquidity needs are dependent on obtaining additional sources of capital and while management believes those sources of capital are available there are no assurances that necessary funds will be generated.
Debt Summary
As of September 30, 1999, assets with a book value of $7,548,000 were encumbered by $3,678,000 of recourse debt. The significant terms of IGC's recourse debt financing arrangements are shown below (dollars in thousands):

The Company has guaranteed loans totaling $10,840,000 related to the Brandywine project. At September 30, 1999, $1,637,000 is outstanding relating to this debt. Assets with a book value of $9,016,000 serve to collateralize this debt. The
Brandywine project is being developed in a partnership, the results of which are included using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the debt is not included in these statements.
Year 2000
The year 2000 "Y2K" issue exists because many computer systems and applications and other electronically controlled systems and equipment
currently use two-digit fields to designate a year. As the century date occurs, date sensitive systems with this deficiency may recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or not at all. This inability to recognize or properly treat the year 2000 can cause the
systems to process critical financial and operations information incorrectly.
IGC has assessed and continues to assess the impact of the Y2K issue on its reporting systems and operations.
Current IGC State of Readiness:
The systems and applications that can critically affect IGC's operations due to the Y2K issue are its financial reporting systems. These systems include one accounting application, one time and attendance application and the computer network
system, which they are installed on, and the telephone, security, elevator, HVAC, and other like systems installed at IGC. Of secondary importance are those administrative systems and equipment not directly involved in revenue production that can still
minimally impact IGC operations.
The financial application employed by IGC is currently certified by the respective publisher to be Y2K compliant. Active testing to verify
the Y2K compliance of the Company's financial system was conducted in the third quarter of 1999. "Dummy" companies were set up in the critical systems with dates forwarded to beyond 2000 for these tests. As a result of these tests, it appears that the
financial application is Y2K compliant.
The Company relies on a time and attendance system for payroll processing. The payroll system utilizes the services of a third party provider and is certified Y2K compliant.
The hardware component of IGC's financial system consists of industry standard PC operating systems, servers, desktop computers, and networking hardware. These systems have been evaluated and tested for Y2K compliance.
The administrative applications (word processing, spreadsheet, messaging, etc.) utilized by IGC have been certified by the various publishers to be Y2K compliant.
Third Party Impact on Company Operations:
Of the administrative procedures, only the payroll processing is performed by a third party vendor. A statement of Y2K compliance has been obtained from the vendor in question and IGC considers Y2K exposure with payroll processing to be minimal.
Costs to Achieve Y2K Compliance:
Because of IGC's almost exclusive use of "off the shelf" applications and hardware and that the Company maintains service maintenance agreements on all critical business systems, costs to achieve Y2K compliance have been nominal. Y2K upgrades for
a majority of the Company's financial system has been included with standard system updates as part of the normal maintenance procedures.
IGC does not separately track the internal costs incurred for the Y2K project. These costs are principally related payroll costs for the Company's information systems department. The cost for the financial departments to perform the scheduled
tests of the accounting system for Y2K compliance has not been ascertained, though it is expected that these costs will be nominal.
Risks of IGC's Y2K Issues:
The failure of IGC's financial system for more than a few days would create a hardship on Company's operations. Failure of the accounting system will affect the company's general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable and reporting functions.
IGC had not obtained insurance specific for Y2K liability issues. However, after discussions with its insurance carrier, IGC has determined that current policies will cover any unforeseen material damages due to the Company's systems Y2K
non-compliance.
IGC's Contingency Plan:
IGC has evaluated its various Y2K failure scenarios and developed contingency plans to ensure continued Company operations. As a result, the company does not believe there is a significant Y2K risk.
ITEM 3. |
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK |
The Company is exposed to certain financial market risks, the most predominant being fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rate fluctuations are monitored by the Company's management as
an integral part of the Company's overall risk management program, which recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
As of September 30, 1999, there have been no material changes in the Company's financial market risk since December 31, 1998 as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
PART II |
OTHER INFORMATION |
ITEM 1. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Wetlands Litigation
On February 29, 1996, IGC, its affiliate SCA, and James J. Wilson, IGC's chairman and CEO, were convicted on four felony counts of violations
of Section 404 of the U.S. Clean Water Act (CWA) relating to discharge without a permit of fill material into wetlands within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' regulatory jurisdiction. The nine civil violations of the CWA filed by the U.S. Attorney were
dismissed without prejudice. The Company was fined $3,000,000, placed on probation for five years and ordered to implement a wetlands restoration and mitigation plan proposed by the government. Mr. Wilson was fined $1,000,000 and sentenced to 21 months
imprisonment and one year of supervised release. Appeals were filed and Mr. Wilson's sentence was stayed pending appeal by the Court of Appeals. On December 23, 1997, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the lower court's
decision and remanded the matter back to the lower court for retrial.
On August 26, 1999, IGC agreed to plead guilty to a single violation of the CWA. The violation involves the placing of fill in 1990 by a contractor for IGC while constructing a road through Dorchester Neighborhood in St. Charles, Maryland. IGC
agreed to pay a fine of $1 million and to transfer 2 acres of land in Town Center South to a land conservation or similar organization. IGC and its affiliate, St. Charles Associates, L.P. (SCA) also agreed to enter into a consent decree whereby a civil
complaint by the government against them for alleged violations of the CWA would be dismissed. Under the consent decree, IGC and SCA agreed to pay a civil penalty of $400,000 and complete within 24 months a remediation plan covering certain land in Town
Center South and in another location at St. Charles. IGC and SCA also entered into a compliance agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency resolving all debarment matters arising out of the alleged CWA violations. Under the plea agreement
and consent decree, all criminal charges against James J. Wilson, IGC's chairman and CEO, are to be dismissed. The plea agreement and consent decree require court approval. The court has scheduled a hearing for this purpose for November 22, 1999.
Management believes that the cost of the disposition of the wetlands litigation, as discussed above, not including the cost of remediation, will not exceed the $1.5 million currently reserved by IGC. The proposed disposition of the wetlands
litigation, if approved by the court, will free up approximately 80 acres of commercial land in St. Charles for development.
Lead Based Paint Allegations
Subsequent to year end, American Rental Management Company ("ARMC"), a subsidiary of ACPT, Chastleton Apartments Associates ("Chastleton Associates") (a housing partnership in which IGC is the general partner), and Capitol Park Apartments
Associates (the owner of an apartment complex managed by ARMC) received notification from the U.S. Department of Justice (the "Department") that they were in violation of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (the "Act"). These
allegations were based on a finding by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") that the owners and/or management had failed to make required disclosures regarding lead-based paint to certain tenants in two apartment projects -
The Chastleton and Capitol Park. The Act authorizes HUD to assess administrative penalties for such failures.
The original Department notification was addressed to ARMC, the current managing agent. However, most of the alleged violations occurred during IGC's previous tenure as management agent. IGC has agreed with ACPT to accept the responsibility for
paying any potential penalties that might be assessed against ARMC. Further, as the general partner of Chastleton Associates, IGC is liable for any obligations of Chastleton Associates and so would be liable if Chastleton Associates were unable to pay
any fines levied against it.
On June 9, 1999, HUD issued an administrative complaint seeking civil money penalties from ARMC, to which ARMC responded on June 24, 1999. HUD thereafter filed a First Amended Complaint on September 9, 1999 against ARMC, IGC, and Chastleton
Associates (the "Respondents"). The Respondents filed a Response and Motion to Dismiss on September 24, 1999. HUD officially docketed these pleading with the Chief Docket Clerk on September 30, 1999. Additional motions have been filed, and discovery is
ongoing. The HUD Administrative Law Judge has scheduled trial to begin on December 6, 1999.
Meanwhile, on July 15, 1999, HUD and the U.S. Department of Justice filed suit against ARMC and Chastleton Associates (the "Defendants") in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief based on
alleged violations of the Act. This action does not seek any money damages from the Defendants but does seek "remediation" of the alleged violations which could be costly. The Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss or, in the Alternative, a Motion for
Summary Judgment on August 10, 1999. The government, in turn, filed its own Motion for Summary Judgment on August 24, 1999. The U.S. District Court has not yet acted on these motions.
Since first receiving notice of the alleged violations, the Company has actively tried to settle this matter but has been unable to reach agreement with the government. Settlement appears unlikely at this time. The Company asserts that there is
no basis for the declaratory and injunctive relief sought in the federal court suit. Insofar as the administrative action for civil money penalties is concerned, the Company disputes a number of the violations alleged by HUD and asserts that no penalties
should be imposed for any violations that did occur. It is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome with respect to those matters or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss. The Company believes that is has substantial
defenses to both matters and intends to contest them vigorously.
Other
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various types of pending or unasserted claims. In the opinion of management, these will not have a material impact on the financial condition or future operations of the Company.
