AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2001
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — Organization
AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries and other controlled entities, the “Company”), was formed on May 16, 1994 to conduct the business of acquiring, developing, leasing, and managing multi-family apartment communities. The Partnership’s securities include Partnership Common Units (“Common OP Units”), Partnership Preferred Units (“Preferred Units”, together with Common OP Units, the “OP Units”), and Class I High Performance Partnership Units (the "Special Units") (see Note 6). Apartment and Investment Management Company (“AIMCO”) is the owner of the General Partner and Special Limited Partner, as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of AIMCO Properties, L.P. (the “Partnership Agreement”) of the Partnership. The General Partner and Special Limited Partner hold Common OP Units of the Partnership. In addition, AIMCO is the primary holder of outstanding Preferred Units. The Limited Partners of the Partnership are individuals or entities that own OP Units other than AIMCO. After holding the Common OP Units for one year, the Limited Partners have the right to redeem their Common OP Units for cash, subject to the prior right of AIMCO to elect to acquire some or all of the Common OP Units tendered for redemption for cash or in exchange for shares of AIMCO Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one ratio.
The Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, was formed to hold and conduct substantially all of AIMCO’s operations, and manages the daily operations of AIMCO’s business and assets. All employees of the Company are employees of the Partnership; AIMCO has no employees.
AIMCO is required to contribute to the Partnership all proceeds from offerings of its securities. In addition, substantially all of AIMCO’s assets must be owned through the Partnership; therefore, AIMCO is generally required to contribute to the Partnership all assets acquired. In exchange for the contribution of offering proceeds or assets, AIMCO receives additional interests in the Partnership with similar terms (i.e., if AIMCO contributes proceeds of a preferred stock offering, AIMCO receives Preferred Units).
AIMCO frequently consummates transactions for the benefit of the Partnership. For legal, tax or other business reasons, AIMCO may hold title or ownership of certain assets until they can be transferred to the Partnership. However, the Partnership has a controlling financial interest in all of AIMCO’s assets in the process of transfer to the Partnership.
As of March 31, 2001, the Partnership:
| • | | owned or controlled (consolidated) and managed 157,368 units in 580 apartment properties; |
|
| • | | held an equity interest in (unconsolidated) and managed 99,374 units in 612 apartment properties; and |
|
| • | | managed 56,634 units in 451 apartment properties for third party owners. |
At March 31, 2001, the Partnership had 82,268,426 Common OP Units outstanding, 40,223,763 Preferred Units, and 2,379,084 Special Units outstanding.
NOTE 2 — Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 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
6
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the statements and notes thereto included in the AIMCO Properties, L.P. annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. Certain 2000 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and subsidiaries and limited partnerships in which the Partnership has a financial controlling interest. Pursuant to a Management and Contribution Agreement between the Partnership and AIMCO, the Partnership has acquired, in exchange for interests in the Partnership, the economic benefits of subsidiaries of AIMCO in which the Partnership does not have an interest, and AIMCO has granted the Partnership a right of first refusal to acquire such subsidiaries’ assets for no additional consideration. Pursuant to the agreement, AIMCO has also granted the Partnership certain rights with respect to assets of such subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The assets of property owning limited partnerships and limited liability companies owned or controlled by AIMCO or the Partnership generally are not available to pay creditors of AIMCO or the Partnership.
NOTE 3 — Acquisitions
During the three months ended March 31, 2001 the Company purchased:
• | | for $47 million, limited partnership interests in 145 partnerships (which own 292 properties) where the Company serves as general partner; |
|
• | | one apartment community with details below: |
Date Acquired | | Location | | Number of Units | | Purchase Price |
| |
| |
| |
|
March 2001 | | Naperville, IL | | | | 240 | | | | $19 million |
On March 26, 2001, the Company completed a merger pursuant to an agreement entered into on November 29, 2000 between AIMCO and Oxford Tax Exempt Fund II Limited Partnership (“OTEF”), for a total purchase price of $270 million, comprised of $100 million in Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Class P Preferred Stock”), $106 million in Common Stock issued at $48.46 per share, $17 million in cash, and $47 million in assumed liabilities. OTEF merged with a subsidiary of the Partnership. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of interests in properties (the “Oxford properties”) from affiliates of Oxford Realty Financial Group, Inc., on September 20, 2000, the Company had acquired interests in OTEF’s managing general partner and OTEF’s associate general partner. After the merger, the Company’s interests in OTEF include a 1% general partner interest held by OTEF’s managing general partner and a 99% limited partner interest held by the Partnership. OTEF was a publicly traded master limited partnership that invested primarily in tax-exempt bonds issued to finance high quality apartment and senior living/health care communities, the majority of which were owned by affiliates of OTEF, including Oxford entities. In the merger, each BAC was converted into the right to receive 0.299 shares of Common Stock and 0.547 shares of AIMCO’s Class P Preferred Stock. In addition, the BAC holders received a special distribution of $50 million, or $6.21 per BAC.

The Company recognizes interest income earned from its investments in notes receivable based upon whether the collectibility of such amounts is both probable and estimable. The notes receivable were either extended by the Company and are carried at the face amount plus accrued interest (“par value notes”) or were made by predecessors whose positions have been acquired by the Company at a discount and are carried at the acquisition amount using the cost recovery method (“discounted notes”).
As of March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, the Company held $53.5 million and $52.4 million, respectively, of par value notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships, including accrued interest, for which management believes the collectibility of such amounts is both probable and estimable. As such, interest income from the par value notes is generally recognized as it is earned. Interest income from the par value notes for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, totaled $6.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company held discounted notes, including accrued interest, with a carrying value of $160.6 million and $67.3 million, respectively. The total face value plus accrued interest of these notes were $237.7 million and $141.4 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company now consolidates its previously unconsolidated subsidiaries (see Note 10). As a result, the notes receivable from unconsolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated, and notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships have increased, and includes discounted notes which were held at the previously unconsolidated subsidiaries. In general, interest income from the discounted notes is not recognized as it is earned until such time as the timing and amounts of cash flows are probable and estimable.
Under the cost recovery method, the discounted notes are carried at the acquisition amount, less subsequent cash collections, until such time as collectibility is probable and the timing and amounts are estimable. Based upon closed or pending transactions (including sales activity), market conditions, and improved operations of the obligor, among other things, certain notes and the related discounts have been determined to be collectible. Accordingly, interest income that had previously been deferred and portions of the related discounts were recognized as interest income during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company recognized deferred interest income and discounts of approximately $1.4 million ($0.02 per basic and diluted share) and $6.2 million ($0.08 per basic and diluted share). Approximately 90% of the recognized interest income is collected in cash or recapitalized within 12 months from the date that such amounts were determined to be collectible, and the remainder is collected in the following six months.
NOTE 5 — Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
The Company is a party to various legal actions resulting from its operating activities. These actions are routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by
8
liability insurance, and none of which are expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Limited Partnerships
In connection with the Company’s acquisitions of interests in limited partnerships that own properties, the Company and its affiliates are sometimes subject to legal actions, including allegations that such activities may involve breaches of fiduciary duties to the limited partners of such partnerships or violations of the relevant partnership agreements. The Company believes it complies with its fiduciary obligations and relevant partnership agreements, and does not expect any such legal actions to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Pending Investigations of HUD Management Arrangements
In July 1999, the National Housing Partnership (“NHP”) received a grand jury subpoena requesting documents relating to NHP’s management of HUD-assisted or HUD-insured multi-family projects and NHP’s operation of a group purchasing program created by NHP, known as Buyers Access. The subpoena relates to the same subject matter as subpoenas NHP received in October and December of 1997 from the HUD Inspector General. To date, neither the HUD Inspector General nor the grand jury has initiated any action against NHP or AIMCO or, to NHP’s or AIMCO’s knowledge, any owner of HUD property managed by NHP. AIMCO believes that NHP’s operations and programs are in compliance, in all material respects, with all laws, rules and regulations relating to HUD-assisted or HUD-insured properties. AIMCO is cooperating with the investigation and does not believe that the investigation will result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. However, as with any similar investigation, there can be no assurance that these will not result in material fines, penalties or other costs that may impact the Company’s future results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental
Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for 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 of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to properly remediate, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at contaminated apartment communities and our ability to sell or borrow against contaminated properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by governmental agencies, the presence of hazardous wastes on a property could result in personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at the disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic 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 our properties, the Company could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with properties or properties it acquires or manages in the future.

Common OP Units
Common OP Units are redeemable by Common OP Unitholders (other than the General Partner and Special Limited Partner) at their option, subject to certain restrictions, on the basis of one Common OP Unit for either one share of AIMCO Class A Common Stock or cash equal to the fair value of a share of AIMCO Class A Common Stock at the time of redemption. AIMCO has the option to deliver shares of AIMCO Class A Common Stock in exchange for all or any portion of the cash requested. When a Limited Partner redeems a Common OP Unit for AIMCO Class A Common Stock, Limited Partners’ capital is reduced and Special Limited Partners’ capital is increased. Common OP Units held by AIMCO are not redeemable.
Tenders
During the three months ending March 31, 2001 the Company completed tender offers for limited partnership interests resulting in the issuance of 470,237 Common OP Units.
Preferred Units
All outstanding classes of Preferred Units are on equal parity with each other and are senior to the Common OP Units. Generally, holders of classes of Preferred Units do not have any voting rights, except the right to approve certain changes to the Partnership Agreement that would adversely affect holders of such class of units.
On March 26, 2001, AIMCO issued 4,000,000 shares of newly created Class P Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, in connection with the OTEF merger. The proceeds of $100 million were contributed by AIMCO to the Partnership in exchange for 4,000,000 Class P
10
Preferred Units. The Class P Preferred Units have substantially the same terms as the shares of Class P Preferred Stock. Holders of Class P Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the AIMCO board of directors, cash dividends in an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) $2.25 per year (equivalent to 9% of the liquidation preference) or (ii) the cash dividends payable on the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Class P Preferred Stock is convertible. Each share of Class P Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into 0.4464 shares of AIMCO Class A Common Stock, subject to certain anti-dilutive adjustments. The initial conversion ratio was in excess of the fair market value of the AIMCO Class A Common Stock on the commitment date. Distributions are made on the Class P Preferred Units at the same time and in the same amount as dividends paid on the Class P Preferred Stock. The Class P Preferred Units are senior to the Common OP Units as to distributions and liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of AIMCO, before payments or distributions by AIMCO are made to any holders of AIMCO Class A Common Stock, the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock and Class P Preferred Units are entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $25 per share/unit, plus accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends/distributions.
On March 19, 2001, AIMCO issued 2,200,000 shares of newly created Class Q Cumulative Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Class Q Preferred Stock”), in an underwritten public offering. AIMCO also gave the underwriters an option to purchase up to 330,000 additional shares of the Class Q Preferred Stock to cover over-allotments, which was exercised on March 29, 2001. The net proceeds of approximately $61 million were contributed by AIMCO to the Partnership in exchange for 2,530,000 Class Q Preferred Units and were used to repay short-term indebtedness. The Class Q Preferred Units have substantially the same terms as the shares of Class Q Preferred Stock. Holders of Class Q Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the AIMCO board of directors, cash dividends in an amount per share equal to $2.525 per year, (equivalent to 10.10% of the liquidation preference). On and after March 19, 2006, the Company may redeem the Class Q Preferred Stock for cash at a price per share equal to the $25 liquidation preference plus accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the redemption date. Distributions are made on the Class Q Preferred Units at the same time and in the same amount as dividends paid on the Class Q Preferred Stock. The Class Q Preferred Units are senior to Common OP Units as to distributions and liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of AIMCO, before payments or distributions by AIMCO are made to any holders of AIMCO Class A Common Stock, the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock and Class Q Preferred Units are entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $25 per share/unit, plus accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends/distributions.
Special Units
In January 1998, the Partnership sold an aggregate of 15,000 of its Special Units to a joint venture comprised of fourteen members of AIMCO’s senior management and to three of AIMCO’s independent directors for $2.1 million in cash. The value of the Special Units was determined on December 31, 2000 based on AIMCO’s total return, defined as dividend income plus share price appreciation of AIMCO Class A Common Stock, over the three year period ended December 31, 2000 (the “Total Return”). As a result, the 15,000 Special Units converted to 2,379,084 Special Units in January 2001, and the holders of the Special Units will receive distributions and allocations of income and loss from the Partnership in the same amounts and at the same times as would holders of the same number of Common OP Units.

NOTE 8 — Industry Segments
The Company has two reportable segments: real estate and service business. The Company owns and operates multi-family apartment communities throughout the United States and Puerto Rico which generate rental and other property related income through the leasing of apartment units to a diverse base of residents. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its apartment communities. However, because each of the apartment communities has similar economic characteristics, facilities, services and residents, the apartment communities have been aggregated into a single apartment communities segment, or real estate segment. There are different components of the multi-family business for which management considers disclosure to be useful. All real estate revenues are from external customers and no revenues are generated from transactions with other segments. There were no residents that contributed 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The Company also manages apartment properties for third parties and affiliates through its service company business segment. As disclosed, a significant portion of the revenues of the service business are from affiliates of the Company.
The performance measure used by management of the Company for each segment is its contribution to free cash flow (“Free Cash Flow” (“FCF”)). Free Cash Flow is defined by the Company as net operating income minus the capital spending required to maintain the related assets. Free Cash Flow measures profitability prior to the cost of capital. Other performance measures also used by management of the Company include Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) and Earnings Before Structural Depreciation (“EBSD”).
The following tables present the contribution (separated between consolidated and unconsolidated activity) to the Company’s Free Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 from these segments, and a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to Funds From Operations, Adjusted Funds From Operations, and net income (in thousands, except equivalent units (ownership effected and period weighted) and monthly rents):

(4) | | Free Cash Flow, Earnings Before Structural Depreciation, Funds From Operations, and Adjusted Funds From Operations are measurement standards used by the Company’s management. These should not be considered alternatives to net income or net cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of the Company’s performance or as a measure of liquidity. |
| • | | “Free Cash Flow” is defined by the Company as net operating income minus the capital spending required to maintain the related assets. It measures profitability prior to the cost of capital. |
|
| • | | “Earnings Before Structural Depreciation” is defined by the Company as Net Income, determined in accordance with GAAP, plus “structural depreciation”, i.e., depreciation of buildings and land improvements whose useful lives exceed 20 years. |
|
| • | | “Funds From Operations” is defined by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) as net income (loss), computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains and losses from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company calculates FFO (diluted) based on the NAREIT definition, as further adjusted for amortization of intangibles for which no economic loss is anticipated or occurring, interest expense on mandatorily convertible preferred securities, the non-cash deferred portion of the income tax provision and less the payment of distributions on preferred units. There can be no assurance that the Company’s basis for computing FFO is comparable with that of other real estate investment trusts. |
|
| • | | “Adjusted Funds From Operations” is defined by the Company as FFO less a charge for capital replacements equal to at least $300 per apartment unit. |

NOTE 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments
In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“Statement 133”) was issued. In June 2000, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“Statement 138”),an amendment of Statement 133 was issued. Statements 133 and 138 require that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.
The Company predominately uses long-term, fixed-rate and self-amortizing non-recourse debt in order to avoid, among other things, risk related to fluctuating interest rates. Where the Company does use variable-rate debt, occasionally the Company enters into short-term economic hedges, such as interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreements, to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate swap agreements are generally utilized by the Company to modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting the variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. The interest rate cap agreements utilized by the Company effectively limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying variable rate debt. Normally, the interest rate caps are embedded within the original debt contract and considered clearly and closely related to the debt contract and, therefore are not measured as separate derivative instruments. The Company adopted Statements 133 and 138 on January 1, 2001. Due to the Company’s limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption of Statements 133 and 138 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 10 — Consolidation of Subsidiaries
In prior years, in order to satisfy certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to the Company’s status as a REIT, certain assets of the Company were held through unconsolidated subsidiaries in which the Partnership held non-voting preferred stock representing a 99% economic interest and certain officers and directors of the Company held all of the voting common stock, representing a 1% economic interest. As a result of the controlling ownership interest in the unconsolidated subsidiaries being held by others, the Company accounted for its interest in the unconsolidated subsidiaries using the equity method.
The REIT Modernization Act, which became effective January 1, 2001, among other things, permits REITS to own taxable REIT subsidiaries. Therefore, effective January 1, 2001, the Company acquired the 1% controlling ownership interest in the unconsolidated subsidiaries. As a result, the Company now consolidates these subsidiaries. The following table provides selected financial information assuming these subsidiaries were consolidated as of December 31, 2000 (in thousands):

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
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 acquisitions, the Company’s future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation, national and local economic conditions: the general level of interest rates; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Company and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Company operates; financing risks, including the risk that the Company’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for residents in such markets; acquisition and development risks, including failure of such acquisitions to perform in accordance with projections; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs which may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by the Company. In addition, the Company’s current and continuing qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and depends on its ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, through actual operating results, distributions levels and diversity of stock ownership. Readers should carefully review the Company’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As of March 31, 2001, the Company owned or managed 313,376 apartment units, comprised of 157,368 units in 580 apartment properties owned or controlled by the Company (the “Owned Properties”), 99,374 units in 612 apartment properties in which the Company has an equity interest (the “Equity Properties”) and 56,634 units in 451 apartment properties which the Company manages for third parties (the “Managed Properties” and together with the Owned Properties and the Equity Properties, the “AIMCO Properties”). The apartment communities are located in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
In the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company completed $378 million in acquisitions, dispositions, and mortgage financing transactions. The Company acquired one property for $19 million and purchased $47 million of limited partnership interests.

Net Income
The Company recognized net income of $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The following paragraphs discuss the results of operations in detail.
Consolidated Rental Property Operations
Consolidated rental and other property revenues from the consolidated Owned Properties totaled $322.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $224.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $97.9 million, or 43.6%. This increase in consolidated rental and other property revenues is a result of the purchase of controlling interests and the subsequent consolidation of partnerships owning 91 properties
19
in 2000 and 8 properties in 2001 contributing 60.4% of the increase, the purchase of interests in the Oxford properties and 12 other properties in 2000, which contributed 35.5% of the increase, and a 5.6% increase in “same store” sales revenues, which contributed 14.2% of the total increase. The effect of the foregoing was offset by the sale of 23 apartment properties in 2000 and 3 apartment properties in 2001.
Consolidated property operating expenses for the consolidated Owned Properties, consisting of on-site payroll costs, utilities (net of reimbursements received from residents), contract services, turnover costs, repairs and maintenance, advertising and marketing, property taxes and insurance, totaled $125.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $90.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $34.9 million or 38.4%. The increase in property operating expenses was due to the purchase of controlling interests and the subsequent consolidation of partnerships owning 91 properties in 2000 and 8 properties in 2001, resulting in 64.5%, the purchase of interests in the Oxford properties and 12 other properties in 2000, contributing 38.4%, and an increase in “same store” expenses of 5.5%, contributing 14.4% of the total increase, offset by the sale of 23 apartment properties in 2000 and 3 apartment properties in 2001.
Depreciation expense increased $44.1 million to $105.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $61.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as a result of the purchase of controlling interests and the subsequent consolidation of partnerships owning 91 properties in 2000 and 8 properties in 2001, and the acquisition of the Oxford properties and 12 other properties in 2000.
Consolidated Service Company Business
The Company’s share of income from the consolidated service company business totaled $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with income of $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $3.7 million or 40.7%. The increase resulted from an increase in activity-based fees, offset by higher corporate general and administrative expenses of $6.6 million, primarily for compensation and other allocated expenses, and additional property and asset management contract intangible amortization of $2.8 million as a result of the acquisition of interests in the Oxford properties.
Consolidated General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated general and administrative expenses, before allocation to the service company, remained consistent, with $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
Consolidated Interest Expense
Consolidated interest expense, which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, totaled $87.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $59.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $28.0 million, or 47.3%. The increase was due to the purchase of controlling interests and the subsequent consolidation of partnerships owning 91 properties in 2000 and 8 properties in 2001 resulting in 49.3% of the increase, the acquisition of interests in the Oxford properties and 12 other properties in 2000, contributing 47.9% of the increase, and increased usage of the credit facility and the term loan associated with the acquisition of interests in the Oxford properties contributed 10.2%. These increases were offset by the sale of 23 apartment properties in 2000 and 3 apartment properties in 2001. The Company had $276 million outstanding on its credit facility as of March 31, 2001, compared with $277 million at March 31, 2000. The cost of such borrowing was at a weighted average interest rate of 7.70% and 8.55% at March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, respectively.
Consolidated Interest and Other Income
Consolidated interest and other income remained relatively unchanged, with $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, while transactional income, which was comprised of gains on sale of bonds or accretion of discounted notes, net of allocated expenses, decreased from $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
20
Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships
Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated real estate partnerships totaled $(4.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $4.7 million. The acquisition of interests in the Oxford properties in 2000 contributed approximately $3.1 million to the earnings of unconsolidated real estate partnerships. However, this was offset by the purchase of equity interests in better performing apartment properties which resulted in these properties being consolidated and contributing to consolidated rental revenues and expenses (91 properties in 2000 and 8 properties in 2001).
Minority Interest in Other Entities
Minority interest in other entities totaled $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $1.5 million. This decrease is a result of the Company’s purchase of additional interests in consolidated properties, thereby reducing the minority interest allocation.
Gain on Disposition of Properties
Gain on disposition of properties totaled $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $5.0 million. In both periods the properties sold were considered by management to be inconsistent with the Company’s long-term investment strategy.
Same Store Property Operating Results.
The Company defines “same store” properties as conventional apartment communities in which the Company’s ownership interest exceeded 10% in the comparable periods of 2001 and 2000. Total portfolio includes same store properties plus acquisition and redevelopment properties. The following table summarizes the unaudited conventional rental property operations on a “same store” and a total portfolio basis (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, net cash flows were as follows (dollars in thousands):

|
|
|
|
Cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities | | | (185,484 | ) | | | 74,433 | |
During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company closed $228 million of long-term, fixed-rate, fully amortizing notes payable with a weighted average interest rate of 5.63%. Each of the notes is individually secured by one of 22 properties with no cross-collateralization. The Company used the net proceeds totaling $125 million after transaction costs to repay existing debt and for working capital.
In April 2001, the Company’s credit facility was expanded to the full commitment of $400 million, adding an additional two lenders to the participating bank group. The obligations under the credit facility are secured by a first priority pledge of certain non-real estate assets of the Company and a second priority pledge of the stock of certain subsidiaries of the Company owned by the AIMCO Operating Partnership, NHP Management Company, AIMCO/Bethesda Holdings, Inc., AIMCO Holdings, L.P., and certain options to purchase BACs in OTEF. Borrowings under the credit facility are available for general corporate purposes. The credit facility matures in July 2002 and can be extended twice at the Company’s option, for a term of one year. The annual interest rate under the credit facility is based either on LIBOR or a base rate which is the higher of Bank of America’s reference rate or 0.50% over the federal funds rate, plus, in either case, an applicable margin. The margin ranges between 2.05% and 2.55%, in the case of LIBOR-based loans, and between 0.55% and 1.05%, in the case of base rate loans, based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate at March 31, 2001 was 7.70%. The amount available under the credit facility at March 31, 2001 was $74 million. At April 25, 2001, $182 million was outstanding on the line, providing availability of $218 million.
22
On September 20, 2000, AIMCO completed the acquisition of interests in the Oxford properties. In order to pay the cash portion of the purchase price and transactions costs, the Company borrowed $302 million from Bank of America, N.A., Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. and several other lenders, pursuant to a term loan. In March 2001, the Company paid off the remaining balance of the term loan and charged to operations approximately $2.2 million for the complete amortization of deferred financing and loan origination costs principally related to the term loan.
At March 31, 2001, the Company had $113.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the Company had $155.3 million of restricted cash, primarily consisting of reserves and impounds held by lenders for capital expenditures, property taxes and insurance. The Company’s principal liquidity requirements include normal operating activities, payments of principal and interest on outstanding debt, capital improvements, acquisitions of or investments in properties, dividends paid to its stockholders and distributions paid to limited partners. The Company considers its cash provided by operating activities, and funds available under its credit facilities, to be adequate to meet short-term liquidity demands. The Company utilizes its revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes and to fund investments on an interim basis.
The Company expects to fund its requirements for property acquisitions, tender offers and refinancing of short-term debt with: cash generated from operations; long-term, fixed rate, fully amortizing non-recourse property debt; secured or unsecured short-term debt; and the issuance of debt or equity securities in public offerings or private placements.
From time to time, the Company has offered to acquire and, in the future, may offer to acquire the interests held by third party investors in certain limited partnerships for which the Company acts as general partner. Any such acquisitions will require funds to pay the cash purchase price for such interests. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company made separate offers to the limited partners of 145 partnerships to acquire their limited partnership interests, and purchased approximately $47 million (including transaction costs) of limited partnership interests.

The Company’s Return On Assets and Return On Partners’ Capital for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company’s primary market risk exposure relates to changes in interest rates. The Company is not subject to any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk, or any other material market rate or price risks. The Company believes that an increase in energy costs will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. The Company uses predominantly long-term, fixed-rate and self-amortizing non-recourse debt in order to avoid the refunding or repricing risks of short-term borrowings. The Company uses short-term debt financing and working capital primarily to fund acquisitions and generally expects to refinance such borrowings with proceeds from equity offerings or long-term debt financings.
The Company had $420.7 million of variable rate debt outstanding at March 31, 2001, which represented 9.1% of the Company’s total outstanding debt. Based on this level of debt, an increase in interest rates of 1% would result in the Company’s income and cash flows being reduced by $4.2 million on an annual basis.
The estimated aggregate fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and short-term secured and unsecured debt as of March 31, 2001 is assumed to approximate their carrying value due to their relatively short terms. Management further believes that, after consideration of interest rate agreements, the fair market value of the Company’s secured tax-exempt bond debt and secured long-term debt approximates their carrying value, based on market comparisons to similar types of debt instruments having similar maturities.

ITEM 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
On March 26, 2001, AIMCO issued 4,000,000 shares of newly created Class P Preferred Stock, in connection with the OTEF merger. The proceeds of $100 million were contributed by AIMCO to the Partnership in exchange for 4,000,000 Class P Preferred Units. The Class P Preferred Units are redeemed or converted to Common OP Units when the shares of Class P Preferred Stock are redeemed or converted to Class A Common Stock.
On March 19, 2001, AIMCO issued 2,200,000 shares of newly created Class Q Preferred Stock, in an underwritten public offering. The Company also gave the underwriters an option to purchase up to 330,000 additional shares of the Class Q Preferred Stock to cover over-allotments, which options were exercised on March 29, 2001. The net proceeds of approximately $61 million were contributed by AIMCO to the Partnership in exchange for 2,530,000 Class Q Preferred Units and were used to repay short-term indebtedness.
In January 1998, the Partnership sold an aggregate of 15,000 of its Special Units to a joint venture comprised of fourteen members of AIMCO’s senior management and to three of AIMCO’s independent directors for $2.1 million in cash. The value of the Special Units was determined on December 31, 2000 based on AIMCO’s total return, defined as dividend income plus share price appreciation of AIMCO Class A Common Stock, over the three year period ended December 31, 2000 (the “Total Return”).
