NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note A – Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Century Properties Fund XIV (the "Partnership" or the "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 Partnership’s general partners are Fox Capital Management Corporation, a California corporation ("FCMC" or the "Managing General Partner"), and Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a California general partnership. 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 month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The Managing General Partner and the managing general partner of FRI are subsidiaries of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 balances to conform to the 2011 presentation.

 

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

 

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 reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

 

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership's property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $30,000 and $31,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are included in operating expenses.

 

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $13,000 and $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses.

 

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.  No such fees were earned or paid to the Managing General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010, 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. During the fourth quarter of 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced approximately $113,000 to the Partnership to assist with the payment of real estate taxes and fund operating expenses at Sun River Apartments. These advances accrue interest at the prime rate plus 2% (5.25% at March 31, 2011). Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $1,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Partnership repaid approximately $50,000 of the outstanding advances and accrued interest. There were no advances during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the amount of the outstanding advances and accrued interest was approximately $65,000 and $114,000, respectively and is included in due to affiliates. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced $120,000 to the Partnership to assist with the payment of real estate taxes and fund operating expenses at Sun River Apartments. 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 sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Partnership insures its property up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers’ compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability.  The Partnership insures its property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $15,000 for hazard insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2011 as other insurance policies renew later in the year. The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $38,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

Note C – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 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 March 31, 2011, the fair value of the Partnership's mortgage notes payable at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate was approximately $11,915,000.

 

Note D – Casualty Event

 

In October 2009, Sun River Apartments sustained damages of approximately $18,000 as a result of a water line break. No apartment units were damaged.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $8,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $8,000. The damaged assets were fully depreciated.

 

Note E – Contingencies

 

The Partnership is unaware of any pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment property that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

 

Environmental

 

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials  present on a property, including lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based fuels, and other miscellaneous materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, these materials 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 improper management of these materials 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 these materials through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of these materials 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 property, the Partnership could potentially be responsible for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property.

 

Note F – Subsequent Event

 

On May 10, 2011, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of Sun River Apartments, which is projected to close during the third quarter of 2011 for a sale price of $18,700,000. The Partnership determined that certain held for sale criteria were not met at March 31, 2011 and therefore continues to report the assets and liabilities of Sun River Apartments as held for investment and its respective operations as continuing 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 Partnership’s ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy, rental rates and property operating results and the effect of redevelopments. 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, including the pace of job growth and the level of unemployment; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership’s property 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; 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 consolidated 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 property consists of one residential apartment complex. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the property for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

 

Average Occupancy

Property

2011

2010

 

 

 

Sun River Apartments

95%

96%

  Tempe, Arizona

 

 

 

The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment property, the interest rate on the mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment property, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment property to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the Managing General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions; accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors which are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively impact the Partnership’s financial results.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Partnership’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $133,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $77,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net loss increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to a decrease in total revenues and an increase in total expenses and the recognition of a casualty gain during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in total revenues is due to a decrease in rental income, partially offset by an increase in other income. The decrease in rental income is due to a decrease in the average rental rate and occupancy at the Partnership’s investment property and an increase in bad debt expense. The increase in other income is primarily due to increases in parking income, lease cancellation fees and late fees at the Partnership’s investment property, partially offset by a decrease in pet fees.

 

The increase in total expenses is due to increases in operating and interest expenses, partially offset by a decrease in property tax expense. General and administrative and depreciation expenses remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to increases in salaries and related benefits and contract services at the Partnership’s investment property. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to interest expense incurred by the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2011 in connection with the escheatment of unclaimed distributions. Property tax expense decreased due to a decrease in the assessed value of the property.

 

Included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are management reimbursements to the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.

 

In October 2009, Sun River Apartments sustained damages of approximately $18,000 as a result of a water line break. No apartment units were damaged. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $8,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $8,000. The damaged assets were fully depreciated.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2011, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $85,000 compared to approximately $103,000 at December 31, 2010.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $18,000 from December 31, 2010 is due to approximately $53,000 and $74,000 of cash used in investing and financing activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $109,000 of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements. Cash used in financing activities consisted of principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership’s investment property and repayment of advances from an affiliate.

 

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. During the fourth quarter of 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced approximately $113,000 to the Partnership to assist with the payment of real estate taxes and fund operating expenses at Sun River Apartments. These advances accrue interest at the prime rate plus 2% (5.25% at March 31, 2011). Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $1,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Partnership repaid approximately $50,000 of the outstanding advances and accrued interest. There were no advances during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the amount of the outstanding advances and accrued interest was approximately $65,000 and $114,000, respectively and is included in due to affiliates. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced $120,000 to the Partnership to assist with the payment of real estate taxes and fund operating expenses at Sun River Apartments. 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 sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The Managing General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance.  Capital improvements planned for the Partnership's property are detailed below.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership completed approximately $73,000 of capital improvements at Sun River Apartments, consisting primarily of appliance and floor covering replacements and roof replacement. These improvements were funded from operations. 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 the remainder of 2011.  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. is not obligated to provide 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) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Sun River Apartments of approximately $10,440,000 requires monthly payments of principal and interest and a balloon payment of approximately $8,811,000 due at maturity in 2021. 

 

The Managing General Partner will attempt to refinance and/or sell the property prior to the maturity date. If the property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership may risk losing the property through foreclosure.

 

The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands, except per unit data):

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, timing of debt maturities, refinancings and/or property sale. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. There can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after required capital expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners during 2011 or subsequent periods.

 

On May 10, 2011, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of Sun River Apartments, which is projected to close during the third quarter of 2011 for a sale price of $18,700,000. The Partnership determined that certain held for sale criteria were not met at March 31, 2011 and therefore continues to report the assets and liabilities of Sun River Apartments as held for investment and its respective operations as continuing operations.

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 46,528.05 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 71.80% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2011.  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 Managing General Partner.  As a result of its ownership of 71.80% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. However, AIMCO IPLP, L.P., an affiliate which owns 26,641.05 of the Units, is required to vote its Units: (i) against any proposal to increase the fees and other compensation payable by the Partnership to the Managing General Partner and any of its affiliates; and (ii) with respect to any proposal made by the Managing General Partner or any of its affiliates, in proportion to votes cast by third party Unit holders.  Except for the foregoing, no other limitations are imposed on AIMCO IPLP, L.P.'s or any other of AIMCO's affiliates' right to vote each Unit held. Although the Managing General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the Managing General Partner, as managing general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Managing General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Asset

 

Investment property is 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 the 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 property.  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 asset.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

 

Assets Held for Sale


The Partnership classifies long-lived assets as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset; the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated; the sale of the asset is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year; the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Depreciation is not recorded during the period in which the long-lived asset is classified as held for sale.  When the asset is designated as held for sale, the related results of operations are presented as discontinued operations.

 


Item 4.     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.

  • should not in all instances be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;

 

  • have been qualified by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement, which disclosures are not necessarily reflected in the agreement;

Accordingly, these representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs as of the date they were made or at any other time. The Partnership acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this Form 10-Q not misleading.
