HCW PENSION REAL ESTATE FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of HCW Pension Real Estate Fund
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. The General Partner of the Partnership is HCW General
Partner Ltd., whose sole general partner is IH, Inc. (the "Managing General
Partner"). In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, 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 fiscal year ended December
31, 2004. The General Partner and Managing General Partner are both affiliates
of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real
estate investment trust.
Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties
The Partnership has no employees and depends on the Managing General Partner and
its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership
activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for (i) certain payments to
affiliates for services and (ii) reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by
affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the
Partnership's sole property as compensation for providing property management
services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $30,000 for both
of the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, which is included in
operating expenses.
An affiliate of the Managing General Partner received reimbursement of asset
management fees amounting to approximately $16,000 and $30,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which is included in general
and administrative expenses. The asset management fees are calculated based on a
percentage of tangible asset value of the Partnership as defined in the
Partnership Agreement. The percentage as stipulated in the Partnership Agreement
is 0.50% for 2005 and was 0.75% for 2004.
Affiliates of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership reimbursement
of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $16,000 and
$17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which
is included in general and administrative expenses.
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
Managing General Partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the
Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $12,000 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 $21,000
for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration
during the year ended December 31, 2004.
Note C - Contingencies
AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the
Managing 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 took place on May 12, 2005 and the
parties await a ruling from the Court. 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 Managing 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 the Managing General Partner have
implemented a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from
its properties and the Managing General Partner 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 the Managing
General Partner 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
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. 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, the Managing 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.
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 investment property consists of one apartment complex, Lewis
Park Apartments, located in Carbondale, Illinois. The average occupancy of the
property for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was 99% for both of
the periods.
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 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 Partnership
from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the Managing 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 Managing General Partner may use rental
concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions,
accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Managing 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 realized net income of approximately $151,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 compared to net income of approximately $125,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net income is due to an
increase in total revenues and a decrease in total expenses.
Total revenues increased primarily due to an increase in other income. Rental
income remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. Other income
increased due to an increase in lease cancellation fees and administrative
charges billed to residents partially offset by a decrease in laundry income.
Total expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2005 due to a
decrease in general and administrative and depreciation expenses partially
offset by an increase in operating expenses. Property tax and interest expenses
remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. Depreciation expense
decreased due to assets becoming fully depreciated during the past twelve
months. Operating expenses increased due to increases in salaries and related
benefits and utilities at the Partnership's investment property.
General and administrative expenses decreased due to a decrease in asset
management fees paid to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner as a result
of a decrease in the percentage used to calculate such fees. The asset
management fees are calculated based on a percentage of the tangible asset value
of the Partnership as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The percentage as
stipulated in the Partnership Agreement was 0.50% for 2005 and 0.75% for 2004.
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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2005, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $407,000 compared to approximately $396,000 at March 31, 2004.
Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $25,000 from December 31,
2004. The increase is due to approximately $245,000 of cash provided by
operating activities which was partially offset by approximately $210,000 and
$10,000 of cash used in financing and investing activities, respectively. Cash
used in financing activities consisted of distributions paid to the partners
and, to a lesser extent, principal payments made on the mortgage encumbering
Lewis Park Apartments. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property
improvements and replacements. 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 Managing 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 three months ended March 31, 2005, the Partnership completed
approximately $10,000 of capital improvements at Lewis Park Apartments,
consisting primarily of stairwell and floor covering replacements. These
improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The Partnership regularly
evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership
has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain
routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 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 or from Partnership reserves. To the extent that such 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 short-term needs
(exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage
indebtedness encumbering Lewis Park Apartments of approximately $4,900,000 is
amortized over 20 years with a maturity date of September 1, 2020, at which time
the loan is scheduled to be fully amortized.
The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands, except per unit data):
Three Months Per Limited Three Months Per Limited
Ended Partnership Ended Partnership
March 31, 2005 Unit March 31, 2004 Unit
Operations $ 170 $10.64 $ 135 $ 8.41
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from
operations, the timing of debt maturity, property sale and/or refinancing. The
Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds
from operations, after capital improvement expenditures, to permit additional
distributions to its partners during 2005 or subsequent periods.
Other
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the
Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 5,618 limited partnership units (the
"Units") in the Partnership representing 35.80% of the outstanding units as of
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 are included, but not limited
to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to
remove the Managing General Partner. 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 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 an 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 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
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 took place on May 12, 2005 and the parties await a ruling from the Court.
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.
