NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note A – Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Century Properties Fund XIX, LP (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The general partner of the Partnership is Fox Partners II, a California general partnership. The general partners of Fox Partners II are Fox Capital Management Corporation ("FCMC" or the "Managing General Partner"), a California corporation and Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a California general partnership. The Managing General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

 

The Partnership’s management evaluated subsequent events through the time this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed.

 

Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit: Net loss per limited partnership unit (the “Units”) is computed by dividing net loss allocated to the limited partners by the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year. The number of Units used was 89,276 and 89,287 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

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 certain payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

 

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from all of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $251,000 and $243,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which are included in operating expenses.

 

An affiliate of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $71,000 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, which is included in general and administrative expenses. In connection with redevelopment projects completed in 2009 at three of the Partnership’s investment properties, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner received a redevelopment planning fee of approximately $25,000 per investment property and a redevelopment supervision fee of 4% of the specified redevelopment costs, or approximately $1,376,000. The Partnership was charged approximately $18,000 in redevelopment planning and supervision fees during the six months ended June 30, 2009, which are included in investment properties. No such fees were charged during the six months ended June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately $218,000 and $143,000, respectively, of reimbursements were due to the Managing General Partner and are included in due to affiliates.

 

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, for managing the affairs of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner is entitled to receive a Partnership management fee equal to 10% of the Partnership's adjusted cash from operations as distributed. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, no fee was earned as there were no distributions from operations.

 

AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner has made available to the Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the Partnership. Prior to 2009, this credit limit was exceeded. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $464,000 to fund operations at all four of the Partnership’s investment properties. There were no such advances during the six months ended June 30, 2009. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement.  The interest rates charged on the outstanding advances made to the Partnership range from the prime rate plus 0.5% to a variable rate based on the prime rate plus a market rate adjustment for similar type loans.  Affiliates of the Managing General Partner review the market rate adjustment quarterly.  The interest rates on outstanding advances at June 30, 2010 ranged from 3.75% to 5.25%. Interest expense was approximately $421,000 and $596,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership repaid approximately $770,000 and $337,000, respectively, of advances and accrued interest. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the total advances and accrued interest due to AIMCO Properties, L.P. was approximately $17,260,000 and $17,145,000, respectively, and are included in due to affiliates. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheets, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, the Partnership repaid approximately $250,000 of advances and accrued interest with cash from operations.

 

The Partnership insures its properties 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, general liability, and vehicle liability.  The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $150,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.  Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2010 as other insurance policies renew later in the year.  The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $162,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Note C – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for mortgage notes payable) approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its mortgage notes payable by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be available to the Partnership for similar term, mortgage notes payable.  At June 30, 2010, the fair value of the Partnership's mortgage notes payable at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate approximated its carrying value.

 

Note D – Contingencies

 

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the Managing General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”). The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company (“the Defendants”) failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”). In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action. In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions.  In the second quarter of 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts have been dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $2,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment property.  At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. Pursuant to the global settlement agreement, the parties selected six test “on-call” cases to be arbitrated.  The parties arbitrated four “on-call” claims and obtained defense verdicts on all four.  Two additional “on-call” claims were dismissed with prejudice. The process now calls for the parties to attempt to mediate the remaining “on-call” claims and plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees.  Such mediation has not yet been scheduled. The Managing General Partner is uncertain as to the amount of any additional loss that may be allocable to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership cannot estimate whether any additional loss will occur or a potential range of loss.

 

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.

 

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, including lead-based paint. 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, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, 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, operation and management of its properties, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its properties.

 

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 policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the Managing General Partner believes that these measures will prevent or eliminate mold exposure and will minimize the effects that mold may 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.

 


ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Quarterly Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of redevelopments, the Partnership’s future financial performance, including the Partnership’s ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy and rent levels, and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control including, without limitation: financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing and the risk that the Partnership’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership’s properties and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for residents in such markets; insurance risk, including the cost of insurance; development risks; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by the Partnership. Readers should carefully review the Partnership’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the other documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Partnership's investment properties consist of four apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

 

 

Average Occupancy

Property

2010

2009

 

 

 

Tamarind Bay Apartments

95%

   St. Petersburg, Florida

   Atlanta, Georgia

 

 

Lakeside at Vinings Mountain

96%

90%

   Atlanta, Georgia

 

 

Greenspoint at Paradise Valley

94%

79%

   Phoenix, Arizona

 

 

 

The Managing General Partner attributes the increases in occupancy at all of the Partnership’s investment properties to competitive pricing efforts.

 

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 Managing 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 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’s net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $1,592,000 and $3,307,000, respectively, compared to net loss of approximately $1,833,000 and $3,548,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2009.  The decrease in net loss for both periods is due to an increase in total revenues and a decrease in total expenses.

 

Total revenues increased for both periods due to increases in both rental and other income. Rental income increased for both periods due to an increase in occupancy, partially offset by a decrease in the average rental rate at all of the Partnership’s investment properties. Other income increased for both periods primarily due to increases in resident utility reimbursements at all of the Partnership’s properties and pet fees at Greenspoint at Paradise Valley.

 

Total expenses decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to a decrease operating expense, partially offset by increases in depreciation, interest, property tax and general and administrative expenses.  Total expenses decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to a decrease operating expense, partially offset by increases in depreciation, interest and property tax expenses. General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Operating expense decreased for both periods primarily due to decreases in washer and dryer rental expense at The Peak at Vinings Mountain and Lakeside at Vinings Mountain, as such items were purchased during the third quarter of 2009, advertising expense at all four investment properties and payroll related expenses at three properties. Depreciation expense increased for both periods due to property improvements and replacements placed into service primarily at The Peak at Vinings Mountain and Lakeside at Vinings Mountain during the past twelve months.  Interest expense increased for both periods primarily due to a larger average debt balance as a result of the second mortgages obtained on The Peak at Vinings Mountain and Lakeside at Vinings Mountain in November 2009, partially offset by a decrease in interest on advances from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner as a result of a lower average outstanding advance balance.  Property tax expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to an anticipated increase in the assessed value of Greenspoint at Paradise Valley. Also contributing to the increase in property tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was the receipt of refunds during 2009 for the tax years 2008 and 2007 for successful appeals at The Peak at Vinings Mountain and Lakeside at Vinings Mountain.

 

General and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to an increase in management reimbursements charged by the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2010, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $305,000, compared to approximately $132,000 at December 31, 2009.  Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $173,000 due to approximately $1,397,000 of cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by approximately $826,000 and $398,000 of cash used in financing and investing activities, respectively.  Cash used in financing activities consisted of repayment of advances from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by advances received from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements.

 

AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner has made available to the Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the Partnership. Prior to 2009, this credit limit was exceeded. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $464,000 to fund operations at all four of the Partnership’s investment properties. There were no such advances during the six months ended June 30, 2009. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement.  The interest rates charged on the outstanding advances made to the Partnership range from the prime rate plus 0.5% to a variable rate based on the prime rate plus a market rate adjustment for similar type loans.  Affiliates of the Managing General Partner review the market rate adjustment quarterly.  The interest rates on outstanding advances at June 30, 2010 ranged from 3.75% to 5.25%. Interest expense was approximately $421,000 and $596,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership repaid approximately $770,000 and $337,000, respectively, of advances and accrued interest. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the total advances and accrued interest due to AIMCO Properties, L.P. was approximately $17,260,000 and $17,145,000, respectively, and are included in due to affiliates. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheets, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, the Partnership repaid approximately $250,000 of advances and accrued interest with cash from operations.

 

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 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 Managing General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. Capital improvements planned for each of the Partnership’s properties are detailed below.

 

Lakeside at Vinings Mountain

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $84,000 of capital improvements at Lakeside at Vinings Mountain, which consisted primarily of fire safety and electrical upgrades and floor covering replacement. 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 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Greenspoint at Paradise Valley

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $113,000 of capital improvements at Greenspoint at Paradise Valley, which consisted primarily of roof replacement and floor covering replacement. 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 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

The Peak at Vinings Mountain

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $92,000 of capital improvements at The Peak at Vinings Mountain, which consisted primarily of structural improvements and floor covering replacement. 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 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Tamarind Bay Apartments

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $151,000 of capital improvements at Tamarind Bay Apartments, which consisted primarily of swimming pool upgrades, structural upgrades, building improvements and floor covering replacement. 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 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership reserves or advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not have an obligation to fund such advances.  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 generally sufficient for any near term needs (exclusive of capital improvements and repayment of advances from affiliates) of the Partnership.  On November 4, 2009, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan in the principal amount of $3,900,000 on Lakeside at Vinings Mountain.  The second mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.57% per annum, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $22,000 beginning January 1, 2010 through the July 1, 2013 maturity date, with a balloon payment of approximately $3,705,000 due at maturity.  If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to July 1, 2014, during which period the mortgage would bear interest at the one-month LIBOR Index plus 350 basis points, and would require monthly payments of principal and interest.  The Partnership may prepay the second mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.

 

On November 4, 2009, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan in the principal amount of $3,900,000 on The Peak at Vinings Mountain.  The second mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.56% per annum, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $22,000 beginning January 1, 2010 through the July 1, 2013 maturity date, with a balloon payment of approximately $3,705,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to July 1, 2014, during which period the mortgage would bear interest at the one-month LIBOR Index plus 350 basis points, and would require monthly payments of principal and interest.  The Partnership may prepay the second mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.

 

The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Tamarind Bay Apartments of approximately $6,882,000 matures in September 2021 at which time balloon payments of approximately $5,423,000 are required. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering The Peak at Vinings Mountain and Lakeside at Vinings Mountain of approximately $19,693,000 matures in July 2013 at which time balloon payments of approximately $17,188,000 are required. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Greenspoint at Paradise Valley of approximately $16,088,000 has stated maturity dates between 2030 and 2033, but are callable by the lender in May 2012, at which time balloon payments of approximately $15,312,000 are required. The Managing General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to such maturity dates. If any property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure.

 

There were no distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. 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. Given the amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the Managing General Partner at June 30, 2010, it is not expected that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners in 2010 or for the foreseeable future.

 

Other

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 60,711.66 limited partnership units (the “Units”) in the Partnership representing 68.00% of the outstanding Units at June 30, 2010. 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, Unit holders 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 Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 68.00% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to influence all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. However, with respect to the 25,228.66 Units acquired on January 19, 1996, AIMCO IPLP, L.P. ("IPLP"), an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and of AIMCO, agreed to vote such Units: (i) against any increase in compensation payable to the Managing General Partner or to its affiliates; and (ii) on all other matters submitted by it or its affiliates, in proportion to the vote cast by third party unitholders. Except for the foregoing, no other limitations are imposed on IPLP's, AIMCO's or any other affiliates' right to vote each Unit held. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to both the General Partner and AIMCO as the sole stockholder of the Managing General Partner. 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

 

Investment properties are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable.  If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property.   If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

 

Real property investment is 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, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing; and changes in interest rates and the availability of financing.  Any adverse changes in these and other 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 4T.    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 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)   Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the Managing General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”). The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company (“the Defendants”) failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”). In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action. In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions.  In the second quarter of 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts have been dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $2,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment property.  At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. Pursuant to the global settlement agreement, the parties selected six test “on-call” cases to be arbitrated.  The parties arbitrated four “on-call” claims and obtained defense verdicts on all four.  Two additional “on-call” claims were dismissed with prejudice. The process now calls for the parties to attempt to mediate the remaining “on-call” claims and plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees.  Such mediation has not yet been scheduled. The Managing General Partner is uncertain as to the amount of any additional loss that may be allocable to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership cannot estimate whether any additional loss will occur or a potential range of loss.

 

ITEM 6.     EXHIBITS
