NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Riverside Park Associates
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-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 AIMCO/Riverside Park Associates, GP, LLC
("AIMCO GP" or the "General Partner"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NHP
Management Company ("NHP"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. AIMCO GP and NHP are
affiliates of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly
traded real estate investment trust.
On December 11, 2003, NHP, a Delaware corporation, entered into a Redemption and
Contribution Agreement (the "Agreement") with Winthrop Financial Associates, A
Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership, ("Winthrop"), which was the
previous general partner of the Partnership, with respect to the acquisition of
its general partner interest in the Partnership (the "GP Interest").
As of the time of the execution of the Agreement and until such time as the
transfer of the GP Interest from Winthrop to AIMCO GP was effective, NHP was
vested with the authority to, subject to certain limitations, cause Winthrop to
take such actions as it deemed necessary and advisable in connection with the
activities of the Partnership. The transfer of the GP Interest from Winthrop to
AIMCO GP became effective on April 30, 2004. As used herein, the term "General
Partner" shall mean Winthrop, with respect to matters occurring prior to April
30, 2004 and AIMCO GP for matters occurring from and after April 30, 2004.
Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties
The Partnership has no employees and depends on NHP and its affiliates for the
management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership
Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services based on a
percentage of revenue and an annual partnership and investor service fee of
$110,000 subject to a 6% annual increase. For 2005 and 2004, the annual
partnership and investor service fee is estimated at approximately $296,000 and
$279,000, respectively.
Affiliates of NHP receive 4% of gross receipts from the Partnership's investment
property as compensation for providing property management services. The
Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $144,000 and $137,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which are included in
operating expenses.
Affiliates of NHP charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable
administrative expenses amounting to approximately $122,000 and $112,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which are included in
general and administrative expenses and investment property. These amounts
include the annual partnership and investor service fee discussed above. The
portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 are fees related to construction management services
provided by an affiliate of NHP of approximately $10,000. There were no such
fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2004. The construction
management service fees are calculated based on a percentage of current
additions to investment property. At March 31, 2005, approximately $155,000 was
owed to affiliates for unpaid reimbursements and are included in due to
affiliates.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, an affiliate of NHP advanced the
Partnership approximately $337,000 to fund capital improvements during the three
months ended March 31, 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2004, an affiliate of
NHP advanced the Partnership approximately $287,000 to fund capital
improvements. Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 2% (7.75% at March 31,
2005). Interest expense was approximately $7,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2005, the amount of the outstanding advances and
accrued interest was approximately $631,000 and is included in due to
affiliates. There were no such advances made by affiliates of NHP to the
Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2004.
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 NHP. During
the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and
its affiliates approximately $116,000 for hazard insurance coverage and fees
associated with policy claims administration. Additional charges will be
incurred by the Partnership during 2005 as other insurance policies renew later
in the year. The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates
approximately $156,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy
claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2004.
Note C - Contingencies
As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both
affiliates of the General Partner, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that
they 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.
The complaint attempts to bring 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. and NHP
Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they
were required to be "on-call." Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO
Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company 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. Oral argument relating to the
certification of the collective action is scheduled for May 12, 2005. 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 property that are not of a routine nature
arising in the ordinary course of business.
Environmental
Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to
liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain
hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability
without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for,
the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the
failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect
occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance
affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and
remediation actions brought by government agencies, the presence of hazardous
substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for
personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also
impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous
substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who
arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially
liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the
person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility.
In connection with the ownership and operation of its property, the Partnership
could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated
with its property.
Mold
The Partnership is aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily
properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the
presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments
or settlements. The Partnership has only limited insurance coverage for property
damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury
claims related to mold exposure. Affiliates of NHP have implemented a national
policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from its properties and NHP
believes that these measures will eliminate, or at least minimize, the effects
that mold could have on residents. To date, the Partnership has not incurred any
material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate
mold conditions. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to
change NHP can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of
or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
financial condition or results of operations.
SEC Investigation
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.
At the end of the first quarter of 2005, the SEC added certain tender offers for
limited partnership interests as an area of investigation. AIMCO is cooperating
fully. AIMCO is not able to predict when the investigation 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, NHP 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 OPERATION
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 sole asset is a 1,229 unit apartment complex known as
Riverside Park Apartments located in Fairfax County, Virginia. Average occupancy
for each of the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was 94%.
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, NHP monitors the rental market environment of its investment
properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or
increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in
expenses. As part of this plan, NHP 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, NHP may use rental
concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions;
accordingly, there is no guarantee that NHP will be able to sustain such a plan.
Further, a number of factors which 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 months ended March 31, 2005 was
approximately $74,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately $72,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2004. Net loss remained relatively constant as an
increase in total expenses was offset by an increase in total revenues. The
increase in total expenses is due to increases in operating, depreciation and
property tax expenses, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant for the
comparable periods. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to an
increase in payroll related and utility expenses, partially offset by a decrease
in contract maintenance expense at the Partnership's investment property.
Depreciation expense increased as a result of property improvements and
replacements placed into service at the property during the past twelve months.
Property tax expense increased primarily as a result of an increase in the
assessed value of the property. The decrease in interest expense is due to
scheduled principal payments resulting in a lower carrying balance of the
mortgages encumbering the property, partially offset by an increase in interest
expense on advances from an affiliate of NHP. Included in general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are
the management reimbursements to NHP and its affiliates as allowed under the
Partnership Agreement and the annual partnership and investor service fee as
allowed under the Partnership Agreement. In addition, 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2005
and 2004.
The increase in total revenues is due to increases in both rental and other
income. The increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase in the
average rental rate at the Partnership's investment property. Other income
increased primarily due to an increase in utility reimbursements at the
property.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2005, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $692,000, compared to approximately $1,071,000 at March 31, 2004.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $116,000, from
December 31, 2004, is due to approximately $1,004,000 of cash provided by
operating activities, partially offset by approximately $733,000 of cash used in
investing activities and approximately $155,000 of cash used in financing
activities. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements
and replacements. Cash used in financing activities consisted of payments of
principal made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership's investment
property, partially offset by advances from affiliates of NHP. 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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Partnership completed
approximately $487,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting
primarily of structural improvements, water heater upgrades, interior and
exterior building improvements, and floor covering replacement. These
improvements were funded from operations and advances from an affiliate of NHP.
The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the
property during the year. The Partnership expects to begin a major redevelopment
project at the property in order for it to remain competitive with other
properties in the Fairfax area. Based on current redevelopment plans, NHP
expects to begin the redevelopment in June 2005 with an estimated completion
date of February 2009 at a total cost of approximately $76,000,000. The
redevelopment is expected to consist of renovation and appliance upgrades to
each unit and the addition of a new clubhouse and fitness center. The
Partnership expects to fund the redevelopment from operations and advances from
an affiliate of NHP. Certain other routine capital expenditures are anticipated
during the remainder of 2005. Such capital expenditures will depend on the
physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by
the property.
The capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from
operations, Partnership reserves, or advances from affiliates of NHP. To the
extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable
cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.
The Partnership's assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs
(exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The first mortgage
indebtedness of approximately $44,932,000 is being amortized over 240 months
until the loan matures on July 1, 2020 at which time the loan is scheduled to be
fully amortized. The second mortgage indebtedness of approximately $8,711,000 is
being amortized over 214 months until the loan matures on July 1, 2020, at which
time the loan is scheduled to be fully amortized.
There were no distributions paid to the partners during the three months ended
March 31, 2005 or 2004. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of
cash generated from operations, refinancing and/or property sale. The
Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership will generate
sufficient funds from operations after required capital expenditures to permit
any distributions to its partners during the remainder of 2005 or subsequent
periods.
Other
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the
Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 382.91 limited partnership units
(the "Units") in the Partnership representing 67.65% of the outstanding Units at
March 31, 2005. 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 67.65% 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 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, 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
asset.
Revenue Recognition
The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.
The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or
in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area.
Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership evaluates all
accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the
application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on
current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.
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 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 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.
(b)
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both
affiliates of the General Partner, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that
they 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.
The complaint attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to

Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP
Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they

certification of the collective action is scheduled for May 12, 2005. 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.
