NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Consolidated
Capital Properties VI (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-QSB and Item 310(b) of
Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of ConCap Equities, Inc. ("CEI" or the
"General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The General
Partner is an affiliate of Apartment Investment and Management Company
("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.
Note B - Related Party Transactions
The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities.
The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and
the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the
Partnership.
Affiliates of the General Partner are entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts
from the Partnership's property as compensation for providing property
management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately
$68,000 and $72,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, which is included in operating expenses.
An affiliate of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of
accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $103,000 and
$36,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively,
which is included in general and administrative expenses. Approximately $55,000
of these expenses remained unpaid as of September 30, 2004 and are included in
due to affiliates.
The Partnership Agreement also provides for a special management fee equal to 9%
of the total distributions made from operations to the Limited Partners to be
paid to the General Partner for executive and administrative management
services. The General Partner earned approximately $9,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 which is included in general and administrative
expenses. No such fee was earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as
there were no operating distributions.
The Partnership insures 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 General
Partner. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the
Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $24,000 and
$21,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy
claims administration.
Note C - Casualty Events
In January 2004 a pipe bomb explosion occurred at the property which damaged 16
electrical meters and exterior siding. No apartment units were damaged. A
casualty gain of approximately $9,000 was recognized during the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 due to the receipt of approximately $16,000 in
insurance proceeds, net of the write off of undepreciated property and
improvements of approximately $7,000.
In April 2004 there was a fire at the property that damaged two apartment units.
A casualty gain of approximately $12,000 was recognized during the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 due to the receipt of approximately $25,000 in
insurance proceeds, net of the write off of undepreciated property and
improvements of approximately $13,000.
Note D - Subsequent Event
Subsequent to September 30, 2004, the General Partner advanced to the
Partnership approximately $225,000 to cover expenses related to operations at
Colony of Springdale Apartments. Interest will be charged at prime plus 2%
(6.75% at September 30, 2004).
Note E - Contingencies
In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the
State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as
defendants, among others, the Partnership, its General Partner and several of
their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to
assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on
behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are
named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of
interests in certain General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past
tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units;
management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of
transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby
Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO.
The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial
dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a
complaint captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was
filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or
about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller
action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for,
among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion,
unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution.
On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed
settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action.
In general terms, the proposed settlement provides for certification for
settlement purposes of a settlement class consisting of all limited partners in
this Partnership and others (the "Partnerships") as of December 20, 2002, the
dismissal with prejudice and release of claims in the Nuanes and Heller
litigation, payment by AIMCO of $9.9 million (which shall be distributed to
settlement class members after deduction of attorney fees and costs of class
counsel and certain costs of settlement) and up to $1 million toward the cost of
independent appraisals of the Partnerships' properties by a court appointed
appraiser. An affiliate of the General Partner has also agreed to make at least
one round of tender offers to purchase all of the partnership interests in the
Partnerships within one year of final approval, if it is granted, and to provide
partners with the independent appraisals at the time of these tenders. The
proposed settlement also provided for the limitation of the allowable costs
which the General Partner or its affiliates will charge the Partnerships in
connection with this litigation and imposes limits on the class counsel fees and
costs in this litigation. On April 11, 2003, notice was distributed to limited
partners providing the details of the proposed settlement.
On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered
judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector
("Objector") filed an appeal (the "Appeal") seeking to vacate and/or reverse the
order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On November 24,
2003, the Objector filed an application requesting the court order AIMCO to
withdraw settlement tender offers it had commenced, refrain from making further
offers pending the appeal and auction any units tendered to third parties,
contending that the offers did not conform with the terms of the settlement.
Counsel for the Objector (on behalf of another investor) had alternatively
requested the court take certain action purportedly to enforce the terms of the
settlement agreement. On December 18, 2003, the court heard oral argument on the
motions and denied them both in their entirety. The Objector filed a second
appeal challenging the court's use of a referee and its order requiring Objector
to pay those fees.
On January 28, 2004, the Objector filed his opening brief in the Appeal. On
April 23, 2004, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates filed a response
brief in support of the settlement and the judgment thereto. The plaintiffs have
also filed a brief in support of the settlement. On June 4, 2004, Objector filed
a reply to the briefs submitted by the Managing General Partner and Plaintiffs.
In addition both the Objector and plaintiffs filed briefs in connection with the
second appeal. The Court of Appeals heard oral argument on both appeals on
September 22, 2004 and took the matters under submission.
The General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership,
whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material
to the Partnership's overall operations.
On August 8, 2003 AIMCO Properties L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner,
was served with a complaint in the United States District Court, District of
Columbia alleging that AIMCO Properties L.P. willfully violated the Fair Labor
Standards Act ("FLSA") by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all
hours worked in excess of forty per week. On March 5, 2004 the plaintiffs filed
an amended complaint also naming NHP Management Company, which is also an
affiliate of the General Partner. The complaint is styled as a Collective Action
under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland,
and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO
Properties L.P. failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were
required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties
L.P. failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time
that they worked in responding to a call while "on-call". The defendants have
filed an answer to the amended complaint denying the substantive allegations.
Some discovery has taken place and settlement negotiations continue. Although
the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not
believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner
does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect
on the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations.
The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation
matters involving it or its investment properties that are not of a routine
nature arising in the ordinary course of business.
As previously disclosed, the Central Regional Office of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") is conducting a formal
investigation relating to certain matters. Although the staff of the SEC is not
limited in the areas that it may investigate, AIMCO believes the areas of
investigation include AIMCO's miscalculated monthly net rental income figures in
third quarter 2003, forecasted guidance, accounts payable, rent concessions,
vendor rebates, capitalization of payroll and certain other costs, and tax
credit transactions. AIMCO is cooperating fully. AIMCO is not able to predict
when the matter will be resolved. AIMCO does not believe that the ultimate
outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
condition or results of operations. Similarly, the General Partner does not
believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation, statements regarding 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 terms of governmental regulations that affect the
Registrant and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment
in which the Registrant operates; financing risks, including the risk that 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 tenants in
such markets; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting and
defending claims and any adverse outcomes and possible environmental
liabilities. Readers should carefully review the Registrant's financial
statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the
documents the Registrant files from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The Partnership's investment property consists of one apartment complex, Colony
of Springdale Apartments, located in Springdale, Ohio. The average occupancy for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, was 90% and 91%,
respectively.
The Partnership's financial results depend upon a number of factors including
the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment property, interest
rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment property,
general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of
the Partnership, the 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 Partnership from
increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to
protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in
expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level.
However, the General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate
reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no
guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further,
a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership, such as the
local economic climate and weather, can adversely or positively affect the
Partnership's financial results.
Results of Operations
The Partnership's net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2004 was approximately $68,000 and $94,000 compared to net loss of approximately
$10,000 and $45,000 for the corresponding periods in 2003. Net loss increased
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 as a result of an
increase in total expenses and a decrease in total revenues.
Total expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004
due to increases in operating and general and administrative expenses, partially
offset by a decrease in property tax expenses. Operating expenses increased for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 due to an increase in
property expenses partially offset by a decrease in maintenance expenses.
Property expenses increased primarily due to an increase in utility expenses.
Maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to reduced contract service costs
at the property. Property tax expense decreased for both the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2004 due to a decrease in the assessed value of the
property.
General and administrative expenses increased for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2004 primarily due to an increase in the cost of services
included in the management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed
under the Partnership Agreement partially offset by a decrease in the costs
associated with the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement. The
increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was also due to an
increase in the special management fees earned by the General Partner for
executive and administration management services. The fee is equal to 9% of the
total distributions made from operations to the Limited Partners. Also included
in general and administrative expenses at September 30, 2004 and 2003 are costs
associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and
regulatory agencies.
The decrease in total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2004 was primarily due to a decrease in rental income partially offset by a
casualty gain (as discussed below). Rental income decreased primarily due to a
decrease in occupancy and average rental rates at Colony of Springdale
Apartments.
In January 2004 a pipe bomb explosion occurred at the property which damaged 16
electrical meters and exterior siding. No apartment units were damaged. A
casualty gain of approximately $9,000 was recognized during the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 due to the receipt of approximately $16,000 in
insurance proceeds, net of the write off of undepreciated property and
improvements of approximately $7,000.
In April 2004 there was a fire at the property that damaged two apartment units.
A casualty gain of approximately $12,000 was recognized during the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 due to the receipt of approximately $25,000 in
insurance proceeds, net of the write off of undepreciated property and
improvements of approximately $13,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2004, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $36,000 compared to approximately $241,000 at September 30, 2003.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $207,000 since December 31,
2003 due to approximately $145,000 and $218,000 of cash used in investing and
financing activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $156,000
of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing activities
consisted of property improvements and replacements partially offset by
insurance proceeds received. Cash used in financing activities consisted of
principal payments made on the mortgage encumbering the Partnership's property
and distributions paid to partners. The Partnership 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 Partnership and to comply with Federal, state,
and local legal and regulatory requirements. The General Partner monitors
developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. For example, the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional compliance measures
with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these
changes, the Partnership expects that it will incur higher expenses related to
compliance. Capital improvements planned for the Partnership's property are
detailed below.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Partnership completed
approximately $480,000 of capital improvements at Colony of Springdale
Apartments, consisting primarily of wood siding, roof, floor covering, air
conditioning unit and appliance replacements and structural improvements. These
improvements were funded from operating cash flow and insurance proceeds. The
Partnership evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property during the
year and currently expects to complete an additional $261,000 in capital
improvements during the remainder of 2004. Additional capital improvements may
be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well
as the anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
The Partnership's assets are thought to be sufficient for any near term needs
(exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage
indebtedness encumbering the Partnership's property of approximately $4,915,000
matures in November 2019 at which time the mortgage is scheduled to be fully
amortized.
The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands, except per unit data):
Nine Months Ended Per Limited Nine Months Ended Per Limited
September 30, Partnership September 30, Partnership
2004 Unit 2003 Unit
Operations $107 $ 0.57 $ -- $ --
The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly
basis. 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, refinancing, and/or sale of the property. There can be no assurance
that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after
required capital expenditures to permit further distributions to its partners in
2004 or subsequent periods.
Other
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the
Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 102,000 limited partnership units
(the "Units") in the Partnership representing 56.26% of the outstanding Units at
September 30, 2004. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender
offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its
affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination
of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO,
either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take
action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited
to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to
remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 56.26% of the
outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all
voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner
owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General
Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a
result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the
Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of
the General Partner to AIMCO 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 investment property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation,
unless considered impaired. If events or circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of a 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, but are not limited
to, 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 impairment of the Partnership's
assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.
Rental income attributable to leases is recognized monthly as it is earned. The
Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an
allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than
30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.
The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or
in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Any
concessions given at the inception of the lease are amortized over the life of
the lease.
ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Partnership's management, with the
participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer
of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has
evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end
of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal
executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General
Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership's principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the
end of such period, the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.
(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes
in the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the
fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal control
over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the
State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as
defendants, among others, the Partnership, its General Partner and several of
their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to
assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on
behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are
named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of
interests in certain General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past
tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units;
management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of
transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby
Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO.
The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial
dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a
complaint captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was
filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or
about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller
action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for,
among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion,
unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution.
On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed
settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action.
In general terms, the proposed settlement provides for certification for
settlement purposes of a settlement class consisting of all limited partners in
this Partnership and others (the "Partnerships") as of December 20, 2002, the
dismissal with prejudice and release of claims in the Nuanes and Heller
litigation, payment by AIMCO of $9.9 million (which shall be distributed to
settlement class members after deduction of attorney fees and costs of class
counsel and certain costs of settlement) and up to $1 million toward the cost of
independent appraisals of the Partnerships' properties by a court appointed
appraiser. An affiliate of the General Partner has also agreed to make at least
one round of tender offers to purchase all of the partnership interests in the
Partnerships within one year of final approval, if it is granted, and to provide
partners with the independent appraisals at the time of these tenders. The
proposed settlement also provided for the limitation of the allowable costs
which the General Partner or its affiliates will charge the Partnerships in
connection with this litigation and imposes limits on the class counsel fees and
costs in this litigation. On April 11, 2003, notice was distributed to limited
partners providing the details of the proposed settlement.
On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered
judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector
("Objector") filed an appeal (the "Appeal") seeking to vacate and/or reverse the
order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On November 24,
2003, the Objector filed an application requesting the court order AIMCO to
withdraw settlement tender offers it had commenced, refrain from making further
offers pending the appeal and auction any units tendered to third parties,
contending that the offers did not conform with the terms of the settlement.
Counsel for the Objector (on behalf of another investor) had alternatively
requested the court take certain action purportedly to enforce the terms of the
settlement agreement. On December 18, 2003, the court heard oral argument on the
motions and denied them both in their entirety. The Objector filed a second
appeal challenging the court's use of a referee and its order requiring Objector
to pay those fees.
On January 28, 2004, the Objector filed his opening brief in the Appeal. On
April 23, 2004, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates filed a response
brief in support of the settlement and the judgment thereto. The plaintiffs have
also filed a brief in support of the settlement. On June 4, 2004, Objector filed
a reply to the briefs submitted by the Managing General Partner and Plaintiffs.
In addition both the Objector and plaintiffs filed briefs in connection with the
second appeal. The Court of Appeals heard oral argument on both appeals on
September 22, 2004 and took the matters under submission.
The General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership,
whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material
to the Partnership's overall operations.
On August 8, 2003 AIMCO Properties L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner, was served with a complaint in the United States District Court,
District of Columbia alleging that AIMCO Properties L.P. willfully violated the
Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime
for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. On March 5, 2004 the
plaintiffs filed an amended complaint also naming NHP Management Company, which
is also an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. The complaint is styled as
a Collective Action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in
California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs
contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to compensate maintenance workers for
time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint
alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating
maintenance workers for time that they worked in responding to a call while
"on-call". The defendants have filed an answer to the amended complaint denying
the substantive allegations. Some discovery has taken place and settlement
negotiations continue. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain,
AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Similarly, the General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will
have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition or
results of operations.
