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.
PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
Consolidated Capital Properties IV (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was
organized on September 22, 1981 as a limited partnership under the California
Uniform Limited Partnership Act. On December 18, 1981, the Partnership commenced
a public offering for the sale of 200,000 units (the "Units") with the general
partner's right to increase the offering to 400,000 units. The Units represent
equity interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders thereof to
participate in certain allocations and distributions of the Partnership. The
sale of Units closed on December 14, 1983, with 343,106 Units sold at $500 each,
or gross proceeds of $171,553,000 to the Partnership. Since its initial
offering, the Partnership has not received, nor are limited partners required to
make, additional capital contributions.
By the end of fiscal year 1985, approximately 73% of the proceeds raised had
been invested in 48 properties. Of the remaining 27%, 11% was required for
organizational and offering expenses, sales commissions and acquisition fees,
and 16% was retained in Partnership reserves for project improvements and
working capital as required by the Partnership Agreement.
The general partner of the Partnership is ConCap Equities, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "General Partner" or "CEI"). The General Partner is a
subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly
traded real estate investment trust. The directors and officers of the General
Partner also serve as executive officers of AIMCO. The Partnership Agreement
provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2011 unless
terminated prior to that date.
The Partnership's primary business and only industry segment is real estate
related operations. The Partnership is engaged in the business of operating and
holding real estate properties for investment. As of the close of fiscal year
1985, the Partnership had completed its property acquisition stage and had
acquired 48 properties. At December 31, 2004, the Partnership owned 10
income-producing properties (or interests therein) and one property which is
under development in Atlanta, Georgia, which range in age from 27 to 32 years
old and are principally located in the midwest, southeastern and southwestern
United States. Prior to 2004, the Partnership had disposed of 34 properties
originally owned by the Partnership. Three properties were sold in 2004. See
"Item 2. Description of Properties" for further information about the
Partnership's remaining properties.
Risk Factors
The real estate business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly
competitive. There are other residential properties within the market area of
the Partnership's properties. The number and quality of competitive properties,
including those which may be managed by an affiliate of the General Partner, in
such market area could have a material effect on the rental market for the
apartments at the Partnership's properties and the rents that may be charged for
such apartments. While the General Partner and its affiliates own and/or control
a significant number of apartment units in the United States, such units
represent an insignificant percentage of total apartment units in the United
States and competition for the apartments is local.
Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in the Partnership's incurrence of
unanticipated expenses. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or
ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain
Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Likewise,
the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties
first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the handicapped. These
and other Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to the
Partnership's properties, or restrict renovations of the properties.
Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an
award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to
correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital
expenditures. Although the General Partner believes that the Partnership's
properties are substantially in compliance with the present requirements, the
Partnership may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and the
FHAA.
Both the income and expenses of operating the properties owned by the
Partnership are subject to factors outside of the Partnership's control, such as
changes in the supply and demand for similar properties resulting from various
market conditions, increases/decreases in unemployment or population shifts,
changes in the availability of permanent mortgage financing, changes in zoning
laws, or changes in patterns or needs of users. In addition, there are risks
inherent in owning and operating residential properties because such properties
are susceptible to the impact of economic and other conditions outside of the
control of the Partnership.
From time to time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, and the United
States Department of Homeland Security issue alerts regarding potential
terrorist threats involving apartment buildings. Threats of future terrorist
attacks, such as those announced by the FBI and the Department of Homeland
Security, could have a negative effect on rent and occupancy levels at the
Partnership's properties. The effect that future terrorist activities or threats
of such activities could have on the Partnership's operations is uncertain and
unpredictable. If the Partnership were to incur a loss at a property as a result
of an act of terrorism, the Partnership could lose all or a portion of the
capital invested in the property, as well as the future revenue from the
property. In this regard, the Partnership has purchased insurance to cover acts
of terrorism. The General Partner does not anticipate that these costs will have
a negative effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial condition or
results of operations.
There have been, and it is possible there may be other, Federal, state and local
legislation and regulations enacted relating to the protection of the
environment. The Partnership is unable to predict the extent, if any, to which
such new legislation or regulations might occur and the degree to which such
existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties
owned by the Partnership.
The Partnership monitors its properties for evidence of pollutants, toxins and
other dangerous substances, including the presence of asbestos. In certain cases
environmental testing has been performed which resulted in no material adverse
conditions or liabilities. In no case has the Partnership received notice that
it is a potentially responsible party with respect to an environmental clean up
site.
The Partnership has no employees. Property management and administrative
services are provided by the General Partner and by agents of the General
Partner. The General Partner has also selected an affiliate to provide real
estate advisory and asset management services to the Partnership. As advisor,
such affiliate provides all Partnership accounting and administrative services,
investment management, and supervisory services over property management and
leasing.
A further description of the Partnership's business is included in "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation"
included in "Item 7" of this Form 10-K.
Transfers of Control
Upon the Partnership's formation in 1981, Consolidated Capital Equities
Corporation ("CCEC"), a Colorado corporation, was the corporate general partner
and Consolidated Capital Management Company ("CCMC"), a California general
partnership, was the non-corporate general partner. In 1988, through a series of
transactions, Southmark Corporation ("Southmark") acquired a controlling
interest in CCEC. In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In 1990, as part of its reorganization
plan, CEI acquired CCEC's general partner interests in the Partnership and in 15
other affiliated public limited partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships") and
CEI replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16 partnerships. The
selection of CEI as the sole managing general partner was approved by a majority
of the Limited Partners in the Partnership and in each of the affiliated
partnerships pursuant to a solicitation of the Limited Partners dated August 10,
1990. As part of this solicitation, the Limited Partners also approved an
amendment to the Partnership Agreement to limit changes of control of the
Partnership, and the conversion of CCMC from a general partner to a special
limited partner, thereby leaving CEI as the sole general partner of the
Partnership. On November 14, 1990, CCMC was dissolved and its special limited
partnership interest was divided among its former partners. All of CEI's
outstanding stock was owned by Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT").
Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and
February 26, 1999, Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and IPT merged into AIMCO, a
publicly traded real estate investment trust, with AIMCO being the surviving
corporation (the "Insignia Merger"). As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership
interest in the General Partner. The General Partner does not believe that this
transaction has had or will have a material effect on the affairs and operations
of the Partnership.
Item 2. Description of Properties
The Partnership originally acquired 48 properties of which seventeen (17) were
sold, ten (10) were conveyed to lenders in lieu of foreclosure, and ten (10)
were foreclosed upon by the lenders. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership
owned eleven (11) apartment complexes, including one which is currently under
development. Additional information about the properties is found in "Item 8.

On October 22, 2003, the Partnership entered into a second mortgage for Post
Ridge Apartments. The second mortgage is in the principal amount of $375,000 and
has a stated interest rate of 7.04% per annum. Payments of principal and
interest of approximately $3,000 are due on the first day of each month
commencing December 2003 until January 2022 at which time a balloon payment of
approximately $173,000 is required. The proceeds from the second mortgage were
used as a cross collateralized loan to Belmont Place Apartments to establish a
capital escrow reserve as required by the mortgage lender. Belmont Place
Apartments used these proceeds to fund the reconstruction of the property.
On June 8, 2004, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan on Lake Forest
Apartments in the amount of $2,500,000. The second mortgage requires monthly
payments of interest beginning August 1, 2004 until the loan matures July 1,
2007. Interest is variable and is equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 300
basis points (5.42% at December 31, 2004). Capitalized loan costs incurred on
the financing were approximately $83,000.
In connection with the new financing, the Partnership agreed to certain
modifications on the existing mortgage loan encumbering Lake Forest Apartments.
The modification of terms consisted of an interest rate of 7.43%, a payment of
approximately $44,000 due on July 1, 2004 and monthly payments of approximately
$42,000, commencing August 1, 2004 through the maturity of July 1, 2014, at
which time a balloon payment of approximately $5,255,000 is due. The previous
terms consisted of monthly payments of approximately $51,000 with a stated
interest rate of 7.13% through the maturity date of October 1, 2021, at which
time the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized.
On June 18, 2004, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan on Citadel
Apartments in the amount of $1,310,000. The second mortgage requires monthly
payments of interest beginning August 1, 2004 until the loan matures July 1,
2007. Interest is variable and is equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 300
basis points (5.42% at December 31, 2004). Capitalized loan costs incurred on
the financing were approximately $66,000.
In connection with the new financing, the Partnership agreed to certain
modifications on the existing mortgage loan encumbering Citadel Apartments. The
modification of terms consisted of an interest rate of 8.55%, a payment of
approximately $38,000 due on July 1, 2004 and monthly payments of approximately
$33,000, commencing August 1, 2004 through the maturity of July 1, 2014, at
which time a balloon payment of approximately $3,748,000 is due. The previous
terms consisted of monthly payments of approximately $40,000 with a stated
interest rate of 8.25% through the maturity date of March 1, 2020, at which time
the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized.

The decrease in occupancy at Citadel Apartments is primarily due to military
deployments in the local area. The increases in occupancy at Citadel Village and
Village East Apartments is due to a more aggressive marketing campaign and the
use of competitive pricing strategies in the local market coupled with the
return of military personnel from overseas deployment. The decrease in occupancy
at Foothill Place Apartments is due to a more stringent tenant acceptance policy
in order to create a more stable customer base and due to the addition of new
student housing in the local area, which has created greater competition for
tenants. The decreases in occupancy at Knollwood and Post Ridge Apartments are
due to a more stringent tenant acceptance policy in order to create a more
stable customer base. In addition, some units were uninhabitable due to fire
damage at Knollwood Apartments and roofing issues at Post Ridge Apartments. The
increase in occupancy at Rivers Edge Apartments is due to a more aggressive
marketing campaign and the use of competitive pricing strategies in the local
market.
During 2003, the General Partner determined that Belmont Place Apartments
suffered from severe structural defects in the buildings' foundation and as
such, demolished the property. The General Partner has designed and approved a
redevelopment plan for the property. Site work on the redevelopment began during
the fourth quarter of 2003.
The Partnership has entered into a construction contract with Casden Builders,
Inc. (a related party) to develop the new Belmont Place Apartments at an
estimated cost of approximately $26.9 million. The construction contract
provides for the payment of the cost of the work plus a fee without a maximum
guaranteed price. Construction is expected to be completed in 2005 at a total
project cost of approximately $31.6 million. The Partnership has funded
construction expenditures from operating cash flow, proceeds from a cross
collateralized loan, Partnership reserves, loans from an affiliate of the
General Partner and sales proceeds. During the year ended December 31, 2004,
approximately $19,762,000 of construction costs were incurred. During the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Partnership capitalized interest
costs of approximately $299,000, $390,000, and $107,000, tax and insurance
expenses of approximately $136,000, $226,000, and $31,000, and other
construction period operating expenses of approximately $105,000, $351,000, and
$65,000, respectively. The Partnership anticipates additional construction costs
of approximately $11.8 million during 2005 which will be funded by, among other
things, additional loans from the General Partner.
As part of the redevelopment, during the year ended December 31, 2004, an
affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately
$5,600,000 to repay the mortgage and associated accrued interest encumbering
Belmont Place Apartments. The loan was scheduled to mature in December 2005. In
addition to repaying the mortgage of approximately $5,400,000, the Partnership
paid prepayment penalties of approximately $170,000 and wrote off unamortized
loan costs of approximately $109,000, which is shown as loss on early
extinguishment of debt on the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
As noted under "Item 1. Description of Business", the real estate industry is
highly competitive. All of the properties are subject to competition from other
residential apartment complexes in the area. The General Partner believes that
all of the properties are adequately insured. Each property is an apartment
complex which leases units for lease terms of one year or less. No residential
tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space. All of the properties
are in good physical condition, with the exception of Belmont Place Apartments,
as described above, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is
typical for assets of this type and age.

the fourth quarter of 2003.
The Partnership has entered into a construction contract with Casden Builders,
Inc. (a related party) to develop the new Belmont Place Apartments at an
estimated cost of approximately $26.9 million. The construction contract
provides for the payment of the cost of the work plus a fee without a maximum
guaranteed price. Construction is expected to be completed in 2005 at a total
project cost of approximately $31.6 million. The Partnership has funded these
construction expenditures from operating cash flows, proceeds from a cross
collateralized loan, partnership reserves, loans from an affiliate of the
General Partner and sales proceeds. During 2004, approximately $19,762,000 of

Item 3. 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 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 General Partner and Plaintiffs. In addition
both the Objector and plaintiffs filed briefs in connection with the second
appeal. On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending
appeals. With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court
of Appeals vacated the trial court's order and remanded to the trial court for
further findings on the basis that the "state of the record is insufficient to
permit meaningful appellate review". With regard to the second appeal, the Court
of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees.
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.
As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both
affiliates of the General Partner, are defendants in an action in the United
States District Court, District of Columbia. The plaintiffs have styled their
complaint as a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and
seek 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, plaintiffs allege 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. Discovery
relating to the certification of the collective action has concluded and
briefing on the matter is underway. 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 consolidated
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.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The unit holders of the Partnership did not vote on any matter during the
quarter ended December 31, 2004.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Units of Limited Partnership and Related
Security Holder Matters
(A) No established trading market for the Partnership's Units exists, nor is
one expected to develop.

The following table sets forth the distributions declared by the Partnership for
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands except per unit

In conjunction with the transfer of funds from their certain majority-owned
sub-tier limited partnerships to the Partnership, approximately $7,000, $9,000
and $29,000 was distributed to the general partner of the majority owned
sub-tier limited partnerships during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003,
and 2002, respectively.
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from
operations and the timing of debt maturities, property sales and/or
refinancings. 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 in the year 2005 or subsequent periods.
See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" for information relating to anticipated capital
expenditures at the properties.
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the
Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 222,900 limited partnership units
(the "Units") in the Partnership representing 65.03% of the outstanding Units at
December 31, 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 65.03% 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.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The operations of the Partnership primarily include operating and holding
income-producing real estate properties for the benefit of its partners.
Therefore, the following discussion of operations, liquidity and capital
resources will focus on these activities and should be read in conjunction with
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and the notes related
thereto included elsewhere in this report.
The Partnership's financial results depend upon a number of factors including
the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment properties,
interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment
properties, 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 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, 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 income was approximately $30,924,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2004, compared to approximately $8,200,000 and $4,264,000 for the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in net income
was primarily due to the increase in gain on sale of discontinued operations.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144,
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations have been restated as of
January 1, 2002 to reflect the operations of South Port Apartments, Point West

October 2004, respectively.
On March 28, 2003, the Partnership sold South Port Apartments to a third party,
for a gross sale price of $8,625,000. The net proceeds realized by the

approximately $708,000. The Partnership used approximately $3,500,000 of the net
proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property. The Partnership
realized a gain of approximately $18,109,000 for the year ended December 31,
2004, as a result of this sale. This amount is shown as gain on sale of
discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations. The property's operations, income of approximately $308,000,
$637,000 and $796,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002,
respectively, are included in income from discontinued operations and include
revenues of approximately $1,574,000, $1,805,000 and $1,927,000, respectively.
In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2004 the Partnership recorded a
loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $16,000 due to the
write-off of unamortized loan costs, and approximately $98,000 due to
pre-payment penalties paid. These amount are included in income from
discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
2004 Compared to 2003
Excluding the impact of discontinued operations and the gain on sale of
discontinued operations, the Partnership's income from continuing operations was
approximately $1,530,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to
approximately $1,361,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Income from
continuing operations increased due to an increase in total revenues partially
offset by an increase in total expenses.
The increase in total revenues is due to increases in other income and casualty
gains partially offset by a decrease in rental income. The increase in other
income is due to increases in lease cancellation fees at Foothill Place and Lake
Forest Apartments and The Apartments and in utility reimbursements at most of
the investment properties partially offset by decreases in late charges at
Citadel Village and Village East Apartments. The decrease in rental income is
due to a decrease in occupancy at eight investment properties and a decrease in
the average rental rate at three investment properties partially offset by an
increase in occupancy at three investment properties, an increase in the average
rental rate at seven investment properties and a decrease in bad debt expense,
primarily at Citadel Village and Village East Apartments.
In October 2003, Citadel Village Apartments suffered fire damage to five
apartment units. Insurance proceeds of approximately $219,000 were received
during the year ended December 31, 2004. The Partnership recognized a casualty
gain of approximately $219,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 as the
damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.
In November 2003, Lake Forest Apartments suffered water damage to some of its
rental units. Insurance proceeds of approximately $44,000 were received during
the year ended December 31, 2004. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of
approximately $44,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 as the damaged
assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.
In February 2004, The Apartments suffered damage to 180 apartment units due to
an ice storm. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership received
insurance proceeds of approximately $322,000, which included approximately
$30,000 for emergency expenses. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of
approximately $292,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 as the damaged
assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.
In February 2004, Knollwood Apartments suffered fire damage to some of its
rental units. Insurance proceeds of approximately $46,000 were received during
the year ended December 31, 2004. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of
approximately $46,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 as the damaged
assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.
In March 2004, Village East Apartments suffered an electrical fire that damaged
six apartment units. Insurance proceeds of approximately $77,000 were received
during the year ended December 31, 2004. The Partnership recognized a casualty
gain of approximately $77,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 as the
damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.
In January 2003, The Apartments had a fire which damaged five apartment units
and a hallway. Insurance proceeds of approximately $23,000 were received during
the year ended December 31, 2003. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of
approximately $23,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003 as the damaged
assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.
Total expenses increased as a result of increases in operating and interest
expenses, and loss on early extinguishment of debt (as discussed in Liquidity
and Capital Resources) partially offset by decreases in general and
administrative and depreciation expenses. Operating expense increased due to
increases in advertising, property and maintenance expenses. Advertising expense
increased due to increased marketing costs at Belmont Place Apartments as the
construction nears completion. Property expense increased due to an increase in
payroll and related expenses at all of the investment properties, partially
offset by a decrease in utilities at Belmont Place Apartments which was not
operational during 2004. Maintenance expense increased due to fewer capitalized
costs associated with the reconstruction of Belmont Place Apartments. Interest
expense increased due to the addition of second mortgages at Citadel and Lake
Forest Apartments and an increase in interest on advances due to affiliates as a
result of Belmont's redevelopment project. Depreciation expense decreased due to
assets becoming fully depreciated at Foothill Place Apartments and no
depreciation being charged at Belmont Place Apartments during 2004 while the
property was being reconstructed.
General and administrative expense decreased due to a decrease in management
reimbursements to the General Partner, as allowed under the Partnership
Agreement, a decrease in management fees paid to the General Partner in
connection with distributions made from operations and a decrease in the cost of
the annual audit. Also included in general and administrative expenses are costs
associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and
regulatory agencies.
2003 Compared to 2002
Income from continuing operations decreased due to a decrease in total revenues
partially offset by a decrease in total expenses. The decrease in total revenues
is due to decreases in rental and other income partially offset by the casualty
gain recognized in 2003. The decrease in rental income is due to decreased
average rental rates at eleven of the Partnership's fourteen properties, a
decrease in occupancy levels at five of the investment properties and an
increase in concessions at nine of the investment properties partially offset by
an increase in occupancy at nine of the investment properties. The decrease in
other income is due to decreases in late charges at Village East and Belmont
Place Apartments and in lease cancellation fees at Foothill Place Apartments.
In March 2000, South Port Apartments had wind and hail damage, which damaged the
majority of the 240 rental units. The repairs included roof replacements to the
majority of the units. During 2001, insurance proceeds of approximately $182,000
were received and a partial casualty gain of approximately $128,000 was
recognized. During the year ended December 31, 2002, additional insurance
proceeds of approximately $168,000 were received and additional net assets of
approximately $48,000 were written off. This resulted in the Partnership
recognizing a casualty gain of approximately $120,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2002. This amount is included in income from discontinued
operations.
Total expenses decreased due to decreases in general and administrative,
depreciation, interest and property tax expenses. General and administrative
expense decreased due to a decrease in the management fee on distributions from
operating cash flows. Depreciation expense decreased due to fixed assets
becoming fully depreciated at The Apartments, Lake Forest Apartments and
Foothill Place Apartments during 2003. Interest expense decreased due to the
capitalization of interest at Belmont Place Apartments related to the
construction project during 2003. The decrease in property tax expense is due to
the increased capitalization of property taxes at Belmont Place Apartments and
decreases in the assessed values of nine of the Partnership's investment
properties.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2004, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $4,539,000 compared to approximately $1,537,000 at December 31,
2003. Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $3,002,000 since
December 31, 2003 due to approximately $2,810,000 of cash provided by operating
activities and approximately $14,951,000 of cash provided by investing
activities partially offset by approximately $14,759,000 of cash used in
financing activities. Cash provided by investing activities consisted of
proceeds from the sales of Nob Hill Villa, Briar Bay, and Point West Apartments,
insurance proceeds received and net withdrawals from restricted escrows
partially offset by property improvements and replacements. Cash used in
financing activities consisted of repayment of the mortgages encumbering Briar
Bay, Nob Hill, Point West and Belmont Place Apartments, payments of principal
made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership's investment properties, loan
costs and pre-payment penalties paid and payment on advances from an affiliate
of the General Partner partially offset by proceeds from second mortgages
obtained on Citadel and Lake Forest Apartments and advances received from an
affiliate of the General Partner. 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 various properties 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. The Partnership regularly evaluates the
capital improvement needs of the properties. Except as discussed below, the
Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and
replacements however certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during
2005. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the
properties as well as replacement reserves and cash flow generated by the
properties. Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from
operations or from Partnership reserves. 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.
During 2003, the General Partner determined that Belmont Place Apartments
suffered from severe structural defects in the buildings' foundation and as
such, demolished the property. The General Partner has designed and approved a
redevelopment plan for the property. Site work on the redevelopment began during
the fourth quarter of 2003.
The Partnership has entered into a construction contract with Casden Builders,
Inc. (a related party) to develop the new Belmont Place Apartments at an
estimated cost of approximately $26.9 million. The construction contract
provides for the payment of the cost of the work plus a fee without a maximum
guaranteed price. Construction is expected to be completed in 2005 at a total
project cost of approximately $31.6 million. The Partnership has funded
construction expenditures from operating cash flow, proceeds from a cross
collateralized loan, Partnership reserves, loans from an affiliate of the
General Partner and sales proceeds. During the year ended December 31, 2004,
approximately $19,762,000 of construction costs were incurred. During the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Partnership capitalized interest
costs of approximately $299,000, $390,000, and $107,000, tax and insurance
expenses of approximately $136,000, $226,000, and $31,000, and other
construction period operating expenses of approximately $105,000, $351,000, and
$65,000, respectively. The Partnership anticipates additional construction costs
of approximately $11.8 million during 2005 which will be funded by, among other
things, additional loans from the General Partner.
As part of the redevelopment, during the year ended December 31, 2004, an
affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately
$5,600,000 to repay the mortgage and associated accrued interest encumbering
Belmont Place Apartments. The loan was scheduled to mature in December 2005. In
addition to repaying the mortgage of approximately $5,400,000, the Partnership
paid prepayment penalties of approximately $170,000 and wrote off unamortized
loan costs of approximately $109,000, which is shown as loss on early
extinguishment of debt on the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
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 investment properties of
approximately $53,520,000 matures at various dates between 2005 and 2022 with
balloon payments of approximately $27,130,000, $3,810,000 $9,003,000 and
$173,000 due in 2005, 2007, 2014 and 2022, respectively. The General Partner
will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to
such maturity dates. If a property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient
amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure.
On June 8, 2004, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan on Lake Forest
Apartments in the amount of $2,500,000. The second mortgage requires monthly
payments of interest beginning August 1, 2004 until the loan matures July 1,
2007. Interest is variable and is equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 300
basis points (5.42% at December 31, 2004). Capitalized loan costs incurred on
the financing were approximately $83,000.
In connection with the new financing, the Partnership agreed to certain
modifications on the existing mortgage loan encumbering Lake Forest Apartments.
The modification of terms consisted of an interest rate of 7.43%, a payment of
approximately $44,000 due on July 1, 2004 and monthly payments of approximately
$42,000, commencing August 1, 2004 through the maturity of July 1, 2014, at
which time a balloon payment of approximately $5,255,000 is due. The previous
terms consisted of monthly payments of approximately $51,000 with a stated
interest rate of 7.13% through the maturity date of October 1, 2021, at which
time the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized.
On June 18, 2004, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan on Citadel
Apartments in the amount of $1,310,000. The second mortgage requires monthly
payments of interest beginning August 1, 2004 until the loan matures July 1,
2007. Interest is variable and is equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 300
basis points (5.42% at December 31, 2004). Capitalized loan costs incurred on
the financing were approximately $66,000.
In connection with the new financing, the Partnership agreed to certain
modifications on the existing mortgage loan encumbering Citadel Apartments. The
modification of terms consisted of an interest rate of 8.55%, a payment of
approximately $38,000 due on July 1, 2004 and monthly payments of approximately
$33,000, commencing August 1, 2004 through the maturity of July 1, 2014, at
which time a balloon payment of approximately $3,748,000 is due. The previous
terms consisted of monthly payments of approximately $40,000 with a stated
interest rate of 8.25% through the maturity date of March 1, 2020, at which time
the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized.
On October 22, 2003, the Partnership entered into a second mortgage for Post
Ridge Apartments. The second mortgage is in the principal amount of $375,000 and
has a stated interest rate of 7.04% per annum. Payments of principal and
interest of approximately $3,000 are due on the first day of each month
commencing December 2003 until January 2022 at which time a balloon payment of
approximately $173,000 is required. The proceeds from the second mortgage were
used as a cross collateralized loan to Belmont Place Apartments to establish a
capital escrow reserve as required by the mortgage lender. Belmont Place
Apartments used these proceeds to fund the construction project at the property.
The Partnership declared the following distributions during the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands except per unit data):
Per Per Per
Year Ended Limited Year Ended Limited Year Ended Limited

(1) From refinance proceeds of Post Ridge Apartments distributed in 2002.
(2) From sale proceeds of Southport Apartments distributed in 2003.
In conjunction with the transfer of funds from their certain majority-owned
sub-tier limited partnerships to the Partnership, approximately $7,000, $9,000
and $29,000 was distributed to the general partner of the majority owned
sub-tier limited partnerships during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003,
and 2002, respectively.
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from
operations and the timing of debt maturities, property sales and/or
refinancings. 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 planned capital improvement
expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners in 2005 or subsequent
periods.
Other
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the
Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 222,900 limited partnership units
(the "Units") in the Partnership representing 65.03% of the outstanding Units at
December 31, 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 65.03% 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
A summary of the Partnership's significant accounting policies is included in
"Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the
consolidated financial statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data." The General Partner believes that the consistent
application of these policies enables the Partnership to provide readers of the
financial statements with useful and reliable information about the
Partnership's operating results and financial condition. The preparation of
consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires the Partnership to make
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as
well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates. Judgments and assessments of
uncertainties are required in applying the Partnership's accounting policies in
many areas. The following may involve a higher degree of judgment and
complexity.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Investment properties are 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 properties. 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 assets.
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 7a. Market Risk Factors
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 93% of its debt as fixed rate in
nature by borrowing on a long-term basis. Based on interest rates at December
31, 2004, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would
have no material impact on the Partnership.
The following table summarizes the Partnership's fixed rate debt obligations at
December 31, 2004. The interest rates represent the weighted-average rates. The
fair value of the total debt obligations after discounting the scheduled loan
payments to maturity, at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate was
approximately $53,520,000 at December 31, 2004.

Consolidated Capital Properties IV
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Consolidated
Capital Properties IV as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an
audit of the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Consolidated
Capital Properties IV at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004
Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization: Consolidated Capital Properties IV (the "Partnership" or
"Registrant"), a California limited partnership, was formed on September 22,
1981, to operate and hold real estate properties. The general partner of the
Partnership is ConCap Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner" or "CEI"), a
Delaware corporation. Additionally, the General Partner is a subsidiary of
Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real
estate investment trust. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership
is to terminate on December 31, 2011 unless terminated prior to that date. As of
December 31, 2004, the Partnership operates 10 residential properties in or near
major urban areas in the United States and one residential property is nearing
completion.
Upon the Partnership's formation in 1981, Consolidated Capital Equities
Corporation ("CCEC"), a Colorado corporation, was the corporate general partner
and Consolidated Capital Management Company ("CCMC"), a California general
partnership, was the non-corporate general partner. In 1988, through a series of
transactions, Southmark Corporation ("Southmark") acquired controlling interest
in CCEC. In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. In 1990, as part of CCEC's reorganization plan,
CEI acquired CCEC's general partner interests in the Partnership and in 15 other
affiliated public limited partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships") and CEI
replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16 partnerships. The selection
of CEI as the sole managing general partner was approved by a majority of the
limited partners in the Partnership and in each of the Affiliated Partnerships
pursuant to a solicitation of the Limited Partners dated August 10, 1990. As
part of the solicitation, the Limited Partners also approved an amendment to the
Partnership Agreement to limit changes of control of the Partnership, and the
conversion of CCMC from a general partner to a Special Limited Partner, thereby
leaving CEI as the sole general partner of the Partnership. On November 14,
1990, CCMC was dissolved and its Special Limited Partnership interest was
divided among its former partners.
All of CEI's outstanding stock is owned by Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"),
which is an affiliate of AIMCO. In December 1994, the parent of GII Realty,
Inc., entered into a transaction (the "Insignia Transaction") in which an
affiliate of Insignia acquired an option (exercisable in whole or in part from
time to time) to purchase all of the stock of GII Realty, Inc. and, pursuant to
a partial exercise of such option, acquired 50.5% of that stock. As part of the
Insignia Transaction, the Insignia affiliate also acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Partnership Services, Inc., an asset management entity, and
a subsidiary of Insignia acquired all of the outstanding stock of Coventry
Properties, Inc., a property management entity. In addition, confidentiality,
non-competition, and standstill arrangements were entered into between certain
of the parties. Those arrangements, among other things, prohibit GII Realty's
former sole shareholder from purchasing Partnership Units for a period of three
years. On October 24, 1995, the Insignia affiliate exercised the remaining
portion of its option to purchase all of the remaining outstanding capital stock
of GII Realty, Inc.
Basis of Presentation: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations have been restated as of January 1, 2002 to reflect the operations of
South Port Apartments, Point West Apartments, Nob Hill Apartments and Briar Bay
Apartments as income from discontinued operations due to their sales in March
2003, March 2004, and October 2004, respectively.
Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the Partnership's
majority interest in a joint venture which owned South Port Apartments. The
Partnership has the ability to control the major operating and financial
policies of the joint venture. No minority interest has been reflected for the
joint venture because minority interests are limited to the extent of their
equity capital, and losses in excess of the minority interest equity capital are
charged against the Partnership's interest. Should the losses reverse, the
Partnership would be credited with the amount of minority interest losses
previously absorbed. The other partner of this joint venture is AIMCO
Properties, LP, an affiliate of the General Partner. South Port Apartments was
sold in March 2003.
The Partnership's consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of
the Partnership, its wholly-owned partnerships, and its 99% limited partnership
interest in Briar Bay Apartments Associates, Ltd., Post Ridge Associates, Ltd.,
Concap River's Edge Associates, Ltd., Foothill Chimney Associates, L.P., and
ConCap Stratford Associates, Ltd. The Partnership may remove the general partner
of its 99% owned partnerships; therefore, the partnerships are deemed controlled
and therefore consolidated by the Partnership. All significant interpartnership
balances have been eliminated. Briar Bay Apartments was sold in October 2004.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in
banks. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the
limit on insured deposits. Cash balances include approximately $4,394,000 and
$1,358,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, that are maintained by
the affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in a cash
concentration account.
Security Deposits: The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for
the duration of the lease and such deposits are included in receivables and
deposits. Deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has
not damaged its space and is current on its rental payments.
Restricted Escrows:
Tax Escrow Account: In connection with the second mortgages obtained on
Citadel and Lake Forest Apartments in June 2004, the lender required the
establishment of a property tax escrow account to be maintained by the
mortgage lender. The Partnership was required to make initial deposits of
approximately $115,000 and $136,000 for Citadel and Lake Forest
Apartments, respectively, at the time the mortgages were obtained and is
required to make monthly deposits of approximately $16,000 and $17,000,
respectively. At December 31, 2004, the total reserve balance was
approximately $353,000.
Replacement Reserve Account - At the time of the refinancings of the
mortgage notes payable encumbering the Arbours of Hermitage Apartments,
Briar Bay Apartments, Nob Hill Villa Apartments, South Port Apartments,
Belmont Place Apartments, Citadel Village Apartments, Foothill Place
Apartments, Knollwood Apartments, and Village East Apartments, $507,000 of
the proceeds, ranging from $191 to $325 per unit, were designated for
replacement reserves. These funds were established to cover necessary
repairs and replacements of existing improvements. At December 31, 2003,
the total reserve balance was approximately $373,000 and had been fully
utilized at December 31, 2004.
In connection with the second mortgages obtained on Citadel and Lake
Forest Apartments in June 2004, the lender required the establishment of a
replacement reserve to be used for the funding of capital replacements
throughout the loan terms. The Partnership is required to make monthly
deposits of approximately $6,000 and $7,000 for Citadel and Lake Forest
Apartments, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the total reserve balance
was approximately $73,000.
Repair Reserve Account - As part of the redevelopment of Belmont Place
Apartments, the mortgage lender required a repair escrow account to be set
by the Partnership. In order to fulfill this requirement, the Partnership
entered into a second mortgage of approximately $375,000 on Post Ridge
Apartments. The proceeds from the second mortgage were transferred to
Belmont Place Apartments as a cross-collateralized loan to fund the repair
escrow required by the mortgage lender. The repair escrow balance at
Belmont Place Apartments was approximately $375,000 at December 31, 2003
and had been fully utilized at December 31, 2004.
Investments in Real Estate: Investment properties consist of ten apartment
complexes and one property under construction and are stated at cost.
Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of real estate. The Partnership
capitalizes all expenditures in excess of $250 that clearly relate to the
acquisition and installation of real and personal property components. These
expenditures include costs incurred to replace existing property components,
costs incurred to add a material new feature to a property, and costs that
increase the useful life or service potential of a pr
