See Accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements SPRINGHILL LAKE INVESTORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note A - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Springhill Lake Investors Limited Partnership (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 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 Three Winthrop Properties, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner" or "Three Winthrop"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Managing General Partner is ultimately controlled by Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 information to conform to the 2002 presentation. Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides for (i) certain payments to affiliates for services, (ii) reimbursements of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership, (iii) an annual asset management fee of $100,000 and (iv) an annual administration fee of $10,000. Affiliates of the Managing General Partner are entitled to receive 3% of tenant rent collections and 5% of store commercial income from the Registrant's property for providing property management services. The Registrant paid to such affiliates approximately $449,000 and $457,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which is included in operating expenses. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner received reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $267,000 and $261,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses. During 2001, the Partnership was charged, by affiliates of the Managing General Partner, approximately $2,245,000 for fees related to construction management services for work performed during 1999, 2000 and 2001. These fees had been capitalized and included in investment property. During the second quarter of 2002, it was determined by the Managing General Partner that these fees should not have been charged and the Partnership was refunded the full amount. Accordingly, such previously capitalized fees are no longer included in investment property at June 30, 2002. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Managing General Partner earned approximately $50,000 in asset management fees and approximately $5,000 in administrative fees for both the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These fees are included in operating expenses. At December 31, 2001, the Partnership owed advances of approximately $1,864,000 to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner including accrued interest thereon of approximately $11,000 which was included in due to affiliates at December 31, 2001. These advances bear interest at the prime rate plus 2%, and the Partnership recognized approximately $30,000 and $117,000 in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Partnership received no additional advances from the Managing General Partner and made principal payments of approximately $1,864,000. All advances including accrued interest owed to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner have been repaid at June 30, 2002. Beginning in 2001, the Partnership began insuring its property up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers compensation, property casualty and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner. During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $225,000 and $393,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Note C - Casualty Gain During April 2001 a fire occurred at Springhill Lake Apartments which resulted in damage to two buildings at the property. The property initially received $145,000 of insurance proceeds during August 2001 and received the remaining balance of $445,000 in June 2002. All work has been completed with the total costs to restore the buildings totaling approximately $595,000. A casualty gain was recognized during the second quarter of 2002 of approximately $466,000 as a result of the receipt of $590,000 in total insurance proceeds less the write-off of approximately $124,000 in undepreciated assets. Note D - Legal Proceedings The Partnership is unaware of any pending or outstanding litigation that is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations The matters discussed in this Form 10-Q contain certain forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q and the other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Registrant from time to time. The discussion of the Registrant's business and results of operations, including forward-looking statements pertaining to such matters, does not take into account the effects of any changes to the Registrant's business and results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those identified herein. The Operating Partnerships' investment property is a complex which consists of apartment and townhouse units and an eight store shopping center. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the property for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001: Average Occupancy 2002 2001 Springhill Lake Apartments Greenbelt, Maryland 97% 97% Results of Operations The Registrant's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $1,857,000 as compared to approximately $1,624,000 for the corresponding period in 2001. The Registrant's net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $1,092,000 as compared to approximately $797,000 for the corresponding period in 2001. Income before minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $2,346,000 as compared to approximately $2,224,000 for the corresponding period in 2001. Income before minority interest for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $1,335,000 as compared to approximately $1,097,000 for the corresponding period in 2001. The increase in income before minority interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 is primarily the result of an increase in total revenues partially offset by an increase in total expenses. The increase in total revenues is attributable to the casualty gain resulting from a fire at the Registrant's investment property in April 2001 and an increase in rental income partially offset by a decrease in other income. The increase in rental income is primarily attributable to an increase in average rental rates at Springhill Lake Apartments. Other income decreased slightly due to a decrease in interest income. During April 2001 a fire occurred at Springhill Lake Apartments which resulted in damage to two buildings at the property. The property initially received $145,000 of insurance proceeds during August 2001 and received the remaining balance of $445,000 in June 2002. All work has been completed with the total costs to restore the buildings totaling approximately $595,000. A casualty gain was recognized during the second quarter of 2002 of approximately $466,000 as a result of the receipt of $590,000 in total insurance proceeds less the write-off of approximately $124,000 in undepreciated assets. Total expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 increased primarily due to an increase in operating and depreciation expenses partially offset by a decrease in interest expense. Operating expenses increased due to increases in maintenance and insurance expense partially offset by decreases in utilities, primarily natural gas and fuel costs, and advertising expenses. Maintenance expense increased due to increases in interior painting, building improvements and yard and ground work at the Partnership's investment property. Insurance expense increased due to increases in hazard insurance premiums. The decrease in advertising expense is primarily a result of stable occupancy at Springhill Lake Apartments. Depreciation expense increased due to assets placed into service at the property during the last 12 months being depreciated. Interest expense decreased due to advances from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner being paid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and the scheduled monthly payment of principal on the mortgage encumbering the property. Total expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2002 increased primarily due to an increase in operating expense offset by a decrease in interest expense as discussed above. Included in general and administrative expenses are reimbursements to the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement associated with its management of the Partnership. Costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement are also included in general and administrative expenses. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Registrant, the Managing General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment property to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels, and protecting the Registrant from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Registrant from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Liquidity and Capital Resources At June 30, 2002, the Registrant had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,424,000 as compared to approximately $1,138,000 at June 30, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $853,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from December 31, 2001. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is the result of approximately $5,254,000 and $471,000 of cash used in financing and investing activities, respectively, which was largely offset by approximately $4,872,000 of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in financing activities consisted of principal payments made on the mortgage encumbering the Registrant's property, payments on advances from affiliate and distributions to the partners. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements and, to a lesser extent, net deposits to escrow accounts maintained by the mortgage lender largely offset by a refund of construction service fees from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and the receipt of insurance proceeds. During 2001, the Partnership was charged, by affiliates of the Managing General Partner, approximately $2,245,000 for fees related to construction management services for work performed during 1999, 2000 and 2001. These fees had been capitalized and included in investment property. During the second quarter of 2002, it was determined by the Managing General Partner that these fees should not have been charged and the Partnership was refunded the full amount. Accordingly, such previously capitalized fees are no longer included in investment property at June 30, 2002. The Registrant invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts. 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 property to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Registrant and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. For 2002, the Partnership budgeted approximately $1,233,000 for capital improvements at Springhill Lake Apartments consisting primarily of floor covering and appliance replacements and structural improvements. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the property completed approximately $2,198,000 of budgeted and unbudgeted capital expenditures, consisting primarily of structural and building improvements, floor covering and appliance replacements, plumbing fixtures and air conditioning upgrades. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow, insurance proceeds and replacement reserves. Additional improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property. The Registrant's current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Registrant. The mortgage indebtedness of approximately $50,802,000 is being amortized over 120 months with a balloon payment of approximately $49,017,000 due May 2003. The Managing General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the property prior to such maturity date. If the property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Registrant will risk losing the property through foreclosure. The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands, except per unit data): Six Months Per Limited Six Months Per Limited Ended Partnership Ended Partnership June 30, 2002 Unit June 30, 2001 Unit Operations $2,117 $3,099 $ -- $ -- Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, the availability of cash reserves, and the timing of the debt maturity, refinancings, and/or property sales. The Registrant's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. There can be no assurance that the Registrant will generate sufficient funds from operations after required capital improvements expenditures to permit any further distributions to its partners during the remainder of 2002 or subsequent periods. Other In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 520.90 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 80.26% of the outstanding Units at June 30, 2002. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates or Three Winthrop's affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in the operating partnership of AIMCO either through private purchases or tender offers. Under the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters. As a result of its ownership of 80.26% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO is in a position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Registrant. Although the Managing General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole Stockholder. As a result, the duties of the Managing General Partner, as managing general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Managing General Partner to AIMCO, as its sole stockholder. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The consolidated 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 The Partnership's investment property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless considered impaired. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may be impaired, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the property. Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership's investment property. These factors include changes in the national, regional and local economic climate; local conditions, such as an oversupply of multifamily properties; competition from other available multifamily property owners and changes in market rental rates. Any adverse changes in these factors could cause an impairment in the Partnership's assets. Revenue Recognition The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. Commercial building lease terms are generally for terms of 3 to 10 years or month to month. Rental income attributable to leases is recognized monthly as it is earned. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Concessions are charged to income as incurred. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Partnership is exposed to market risks from adverse changes in interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents as well as interest paid on its indebtedness. As a policy, the Partnership does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Partnership is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities used to maintain liquidity and fund business operations. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Partnership maintains its debt as fixed rate in nature by borrowing on a long-term basis. However, the advances made from its affiliate to the Partnership bear interest at a variable rate. Based on interest rates at June 30, 2002, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the Partnership. The following table summarizes the Partnership's debt obligations at June 30, 2002. The interest rates represent the weighted-average rates. The fair value of the Partnership's debt is approximately $51,650,000 as of June 30, 2002. Principal amount by expected maturity: Long Term Debt Fixed Rate Debt Average Interest Rate (in thousands) 2002 $ 1,055 9.30% 2003 49,747 9.30% Total $50,802 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
