                                       PART I

 

Item 1.     Business

 

Angeles Partners XII (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") is a publicly-held limited partnership organized under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act pursuant to the amended Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (herein referred to as the "Agreement") dated May 26, 1983.  The Partnership's managing general partner is Angeles Realty Corporation II ("ARC II" or the "Managing General Partner"), a California corporation. The Managing General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company (“AIMCO”), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.  The Elliott Accommodation Trust and the Elliott Family Partnership, a California limited partnership, were the Non-Managing General Partners.  Effective December 31, 1997, the Elliott Family Partnership, Ltd. acquired the Elliott Accommodation Trust's general partner interest in the Partnership. On June 30, 2000, the Elliott Family Partnership sold its remaining interest to AIMCO Properties, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of AIMCO. The Managing General Partner and the Non-Managing General Partner are herein referred to collectively as the "General Partners". The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2035, unless terminated prior to such date. 

 

Commencing May 26, 1983, the Partnership offered up to 80,000 units of Limited Partnership Interest (“the units”) at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit with a minimum purchase of 5 Units pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Managing General Partner contributed capital in the amount of $1,000 for a 1% interest in the Partnership. The offering terminated on February 13, 1985. Upon termination of the offering, the Partnership had sold 44,773 units aggregating $44,773,000.

 

The Partnership is engaged in the business of operating and holding real estate properties for investment. In 1984 and 1985 during its acquisition phase, the Partnership acquired ten existing apartment properties and one existing commercial property. In 1990, the Partnership lost one of its apartment properties to foreclosure. During 1991, the Partnership acquired a 44.5% general partnership interest in a joint venture, Princeton Meadows Golf Course Joint Venture ("Joint Venture"), partnering with two affiliated partnerships. In 1999, the Partnership sold its only commercial property, one of its apartment properties and the Joint Venture sold its only investment property, Princeton Meadows Golf Course. In May 2001, the Partnership sold two of its apartment properties. In April and December 2005, the Partnership sold two of its six remaining apartment properties. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership continues to own and operate four apartment complexes. (see "Item 2. Properties").

 

The Partnership has no employees. The Managing General Partner is vested with full authority as to the general management and supervision of the business and affairs of the Partnership.  Limited partners and the Non-Managing General Partner have no right to participate in the management or conduct of such business and affairs.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner provides property management services for the Partnership's residential properties.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The risk factors noted in this section and other factors noted throughout this Annual Report describe certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the Partnership’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

 

The Partnership’s existing and future debt financing could render it unable to operate, result in foreclosure on its properties, prevent it from making distributions on its equity or otherwise adversely affect its liquidity.

 

The Partnership is subject to the risk that its cash flow from operations will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If the Partnership fails to make required payments of principal and interest on secured debt, its lender could foreclose on the properties securing such debt, which would result in loss of income and asset value to the Partnership.  Payments of principal and interest may leave the Partnership with insufficient cash resources to operate its properties or pay distributions.

 

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect the Partnership’s ability to obtain financing and the cost of available financing and could adversely affect the Partnership’s liquidity.

 

The Partnership’s ability to obtain financing and the cost of such financing depends on the overall condition of the United States credit markets and the level of involvement of certain government sponsored entities, specifically, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, and Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, in secondary credit markets.  Recently the United States credit markets have experienced significant liquidity disruptions, which have caused the spreads on debt financings to widen considerably and have made obtaining financing more difficult.  Further or prolonged disruptions in the credit markets could result in Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae reducing their level of involvement in secondary credit markets which would adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to obtain non-recourse property debt financing.

 

Failure to generate sufficient net operating income may limit the Partnership’s ability to fund necessary capital expenditures or the Partnership’s ability to repay advances from affiliates.

 

The Partnership’s ability to fund necessary capital expenditures on its properties depends on its ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments.  If the Partnership is unable to fund capital expenditures on its properties, the Partnership may not be able to preserve the competitiveness of its properties, which could adversely affect the Partnership’s net operating income. 

 

The Partnership’s ability to repay advances from affiliates depends on its ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments and capital expenditure requirements. Net operating income and liquidity may be adversely affected by events or conditions beyond the Partnership’s control, including:

     

  • the 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 multifamily housing; and
  • changes in interest rates and the availability of financing.

 

Redevelopment and construction risks could affect the Partnership’s profitability.

 

One of the Partnership’s properties, Twin Lake Towers Apartments, is currently under redevelopment. These activities are subject to the following risks:

 

  • the Partnership may be unable to obtain, or experience delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, occupancy, or other required governmental or third party permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs or the delay or abandonment of opportunities;

 

  • the Partnership may incur costs that exceed its original estimates due to increased material, labor or other costs;

 

  • the Partnership may be unable to complete construction and lease up of the property on schedule, resulting in increased construction and financing costs and a decrease in expected rental revenues;

 

  • occupancy rates and rents at the property may fail to meet the Partnership’s  expectations for a number of reasons, including changes in market and economic conditions beyond the Partnership’s control and the development by competitors of competing communities;

 

  • the Partnership may abandon opportunities that it has already begun to explore for a number of reasons, including changes in local market conditions or increases in construction or financing costs, and, as a result, it may fail to recover expenses already incurred in exploring those opportunities; and

 

  • the Partnership may incur liabilities to third parties during the redevelopment process, for example, in connection with resident lease terminations, or managing existing improvements on the site prior to resident lease terminations.

 

Competition could limit the Partnership’s ability to lease apartments or increase or maintain rents.

 

The Partnership’s apartment properties compete for residents with other housing alternatives, including other rental apartments, condominiums and single-family homes that are available for rent, as well as new and existing condominiums and single-family homes for sale. Competitive residential housing in a particular area could adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to lease apartments and to increase or maintain rental rates.  The current challenges in the credit and housing markets have increased housing inventory that competes with the Partnership’s properties.

 

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 affect 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 Partnership believes that its properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, the Partnership may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and the FHAA in connection with the ongoing operation of its properties.

 

Potential liability or other expenditures associated with potential environmental contamination may be costly.

 

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.

 

Moisture infiltration and resulting mold remediation may be costly.

 

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 consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

A further description of the Partnership's business is included in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in this Form 10-K.

On August 31, 2007, the Partnership obtained third mortgages in the total principal amount of approximately $15,714,000 on Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V, and VI. The third mortgages bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.84% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $93,000 in the aggregate beginning on October 1, 2007 through the December 1, 2015 maturity date.  The third mortgages have a balloon payment of approximately $13,695,000 due at maturity.  If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to December 1, 2016 during which period the third mortgages would require monthly payments of principal and interest, and would bear interest at a rate equal to the average of the one-month LIBOR plus 250 basis points. The Partnership may prepay the third mortgages at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain non-recourse obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing. Loan costs of approximately $192,000 were incurred in connection with obtaining the third mortgages and have been capitalized and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

As noted under "Item 1. Business", the real estate industry is highly competitive. All of the properties of the Partnership are subject to competition from other residential apartment complexes in the area. The Managing General Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately insured. The residential properties are apartment complexes which lease units for terms of one year or less.  As of December 31, 2008, no residential tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space.  With the exception of the property currently in redevelopment (as discussed in “Capital Improvements” below), the properties are in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age.

Capital Improvements

 

Hunters Glen Apartments IV

 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $429,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of appliance, floor covering and air conditioning unit replacements, kitchen and bath countertop resurfacing and recreation facility upgrades. 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 2009. Such capital improvements will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as the anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Hunters Glen Apartments V

 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $638,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of floor covering, air conditioning unit and appliance replacements, and kitchen and bath countertop and cabinet upgrades.  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 2009. Such capital improvements will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as the anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Hunters Glen Apartments VI

 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $600,000 of capital improvements at the property consisting primarily of ground lighting, water heaters, floor covering, appliance and air conditioning unit replacements and kitchen and bath upgrades. 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 2009. Such capital improvements will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as the anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

 

Twin Lake Towers Apartments

 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $12,247,000 of capital improvements arising from the redevelopment of the property, which includes capitalization of construction period interest of approximately $215,000, construction period property taxes of approximately $23,000, and other construction period operating costs of approximately $8,000. Additional capital improvements of approximately $126,000 were completed during the year ended December 31, 2008 and consisted primarily of fire safety equipment, air conditioning, building improvements and elevator improvements. These additional improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The property is currently undergoing a redevelopment project in order to become more competitive with other properties in the area in an effort to increase net operating income at the property.  The redevelopment is expected to consist of improvements to building exteriors, apartment interiors and common areas, plus construction of a new recreational and leasing center facility.  Improvements to the site will include landscaping, exterior lighting, signage, new parking garages and a swimming pool.  Improvements to the building exteriors will include masonry upgrades, balcony railing upgrades and new roofs.  Improvements to the apartment interiors will include upgrades to the kitchens, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, closet doors and other finish type items.  Improvements to the common areas will include a redesign of the building entries and lobbies, new finishes for corridors and upgrading laundry rooms.  Various mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems will also be upgraded.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner is supervising the redevelopment project and will receive a fee equal to 4% of the actual redevelopment costs incurred. Approximately 4 units were in redevelopment and not in service at December 31, 2008.  Based upon current redevelopment plans, the Managing General Partner anticipates the redevelopment to be completed by June 2010 at a total estimated cost of approximately $20,287,000, of which approximately $2,230,000 was completed during the year ended December 31, 2007 in addition to the $12,247,000 completed during the year ending December 31, 2008 as mentioned above. The project is being funded by the Partnership’s operating cash flow and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. Other than the redevelopment project the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, but certain routine capital improvements are anticipated during 2009.  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 to the extent of cash available from operations, Partnership reserves, or additional advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to make such advances, other than for the redevelopment of Twin Lake Towers Apartments. 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.

 

Item 3.     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 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 will be dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $39,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment properties. At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. 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 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

The unitholders of the Partnership did not vote on any matter through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise during the quarter ended December 31, 2008.


PART II

 

Item 5.     Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Security Holder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

The Partnership, a publicly-held limited partnership, sold 44,773 Limited Partnership Units during its offering period through February 13, 1985.  As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership had 1,059 Limited Partners of record and 44,718 Limited Partnership Units (the "Units") outstanding. As of December 31, 2008, affiliates of the Managing General Partner owned 33,750 limited partnership units or 75.47% of the outstanding Units.  No public trading market has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future.

 

The following table sets forth the distributions made by the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands, except per unit data):

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. Considering the current redevelopment project at Twin Lake Towers Apartments and the advances owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P. at December 31, 2008, it is not expected that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital improvement expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners during 2009 or the foreseeable future.

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 33,750 Units in the Partnership representing 75.47% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2008.  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 75.47% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. 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.


Item 7.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This item should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other items contained 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 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 income was approximately $802,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to net income of approximately $2,088,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Net income decreased for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to an increase in total expenses, partially offset by a slight increase in total revenues and an increase in the recognition of a casualty gain.

 

Total revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to an increase in rental income, partially offset by a decrease in other income. Rental income increased due to an increase in average rental rates at all of the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by decreases in occupancy at Hunters Glen Apartments IV and V and Twin Lake Towers Apartments and increased bad debt expense at all of the Partnership’s investment properties, except for Hunters Glen Apartments V.  Other income decreased for the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily due to decreases in lease cancellation fees and tenant utility reimbursements at Twin Lake Towers Apartments and decreased interest income due to lower average cash balances.

 

During February 2008, Twin Lake Towers Apartments suffered fire damage to several apartment units.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership received approximately $40,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain during the year ended December 31, 2008 of approximately $40,000, as the damaged assets were fully depreciated.

 

Total expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to increases in depreciation and interest expenses, partially offset by decreases in operating, property tax and general and administrative expenses. Operating expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily due to decreases in insurance and maintenance expenses, partially offset by increases in advertising, property and administrative expenses. Insurance expense decreased primarily due to decreased hazard insurance premiums at Hunters Glen Apartments IV and V and Twin Lake Towers Apartments. Maintenance expense decreased primarily due to decreases in contract services at all of the Partnership’s investment properties and snow removal costs at Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI. Advertising expense increased due to increased periodical and web advertising at Twin Lake Towers Apartments. Property expense increased due to increased salaries and related benefits and utilities at Hunters Glen Apartments IV. Administrative expense increased due to increased resident separation costs and business licenses and permits at Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI.  Interest expense increased due to the addition of third mortgages at Hunter Glen Apartments IV, V, and VI during August 2007 and an increase in interest on advances from affiliates, partially offset by the reduction in interest on the first, second and third mortgages encumbering the investment properties as a result of scheduled principal payments, which reduced the carrying balance of the mortgages and the capitalization of interest during 2008 related to the redevelopment of Twin Lake Towers Apartments, as discussed below. Depreciation expense increased due to additions placed into service at all properties during the year which are now being depreciated. The decrease in property tax expense is primarily due to an increase in the assessed value at Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI, which were adjusted during 2007 and decreases in the tax rates during 2008 at Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI, and the capitalization of construction period taxes during 2008 at Twin Lake Towers Apartments.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased due to a decrease in the executive and administrative management fee that is based on net cash from operations and payable to the Managing General Partner. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2008 there was a decrease in the cost of services included in the management reimbursements to the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies, costs associated with the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement and a New Jersey tax assessed to the Partnership based upon the number of partners in the Partnership.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2008 the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $313,000 compared to approximately $1,088,000 at December 31, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $775,000 since December 31, 2007 due to approximately $12,084,000 of cash used in investing activities, partially offset by approximately $8,012,000 and $3,297,000 of cash provided by financing and operating activities, respectively. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements, net of insurance proceeds received. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances received from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, partially offset by principal payments on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership’s properties. 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 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. During the third quarter of 2007 the Partnership began a redevelopment project at Twin Lake Towers Apartments. The redevelopment project is estimated to cost approximately $20,287,000. The work commenced November 2007 and is expected to be completed by June 2010. The redevelopment is expected to consist of improvements to building exteriors, apartment interiors and common areas, plus construction of a new recreational and leasing center facility.  Improvements to the site will include landscaping, exterior lighting, signage, new parking garages and a swimming pool.  Improvements to the building exteriors will include masonry upgrades, balcony railing upgrades and new roofs.  Improvements to the apartment interiors will include upgrades to the kitchens, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, closet doors and other finish type items.  Improvements to the common areas will include a redesign of the building entries and lobbies, new finishes for corridors and upgrading laundry rooms.  Various mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems will also be upgraded.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner will be supervising the redevelopment project and will receive a fee equal to 4% of the actual redevelopment costs incurred.  The Partnership expects to fund the redevelopment with advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and available cash flow from Partnership operations.  During the construction period, certain costs will be capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the property. During the year ended December 31, 2007 the Partnership completed approximately $2,230,000 of capital improvements associated with the redevelopment project. An additional $12,247,000 was completed during the year ended December 31, 2008. The Partnership has no other material commitments for property improvements and replacements, however, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2009. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the properties as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the properties.  Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership reserves or advances from affiliates.  To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership’s distributable cash flow, if any, may be affected at least in the short term.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $832,000 to fund operations at Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI and Twin Lake Towers Apartments and approximately $8,562,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Twin Lake Towers Apartment.  There were no advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. during the year ended December 31, 2007. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement. The interest rate charged on the outstanding advances made to the Partnership ranges from market to market plus 2.00%. Affiliates of the General Partner review the applicable market rate for the Partnership quarterly. The interest rate on outstanding advances at December 31, 2008 ranged from 4.00% to 6.00%. Interest expense was approximately $225,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Total advances and accrued interest of approximately $9,619,000 remain unpaid at December 31, 2008 and are included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. No such amounts were owed at December 31, 2007. 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 itsreports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $673,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Twin Lake Towers Apartments and approximately $89,000 to cover operating expenses at Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI.

 

On August 31, 2007, the Partnership obtained third mortgages in the total principal amount of approximately $15,714,000 on Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V, and VI. The third mortgages bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.84% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $93,000 in the aggregate commencing on October 1, 2007 through the December 1, 2015 maturity date.  The third mortgages have a balloon payment of approximately $13,695,000 due at maturity.  If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to December 1, 2016 during which period the third mortgages would require monthly payments of principal and interest, and would bear interest at a rate equal to the average of the one-month LIBOR plus 250 basis points. The Partnership may prepay the third mortgages at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain non-recourse obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing. Loan costs of approximately $192,000 were incurred in connection with obtaining the third mortgages and have been capitalized and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.

 

The Partnership’s assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near term needs (exclusive of capital improvements and redevelopment costs) of the Partnership. The Partnership's mortgage indebtedness encumbering Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI Apartments of approximately $70,463,000 matures in December 2015 with a one year extension option and balloon payments of approximately $62,635,000 due at maturity. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Twin Lake Towers Apartments of approximately $9,736,000 matures in July 2013, at which time a balloon payment totaling approximately $7,385,000 will be due. The Managing General Partner will attempt to refinance the mortgages on Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V, VI, and Twin Lake Towers Apartments and/or sell the properties prior to the maturity dates. If the properties cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing the properties through foreclosure.

 

The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands, except per unit data):

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. Considering the current redevelopment project at Twin Lake Towers Apartments and the advances owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P. at December 31, 2008, it is not expected that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital improvement expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners during 2009 or the foreseeable future.

 

Other

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 33,750 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 75.47% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2008.  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 75.47% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. 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

 

A summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies is included in "Note A – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" which is included in the consolidated financial statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data". The Managing General Partner believes that the consistent application of these policies enables the Partnership to provide readers of the consolidated 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 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 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; and changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing.  Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Partnership’s assets.

 

Capitalized Costs Related to Redevelopment and Construction Projects

 

The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects. Costs including interest, property taxes and operating costs associated with redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress in accordance with SFAS No. 34, “Capitalization of Interest Costs” and SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.” Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital expenditure activities at the property level.

 

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.

Angeles Partners XII

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Angeles Partners XII as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008. 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 audits 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 Angeles Partners XII at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  December 31, 2008

 

 

Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization: Angeles Partners XII (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") is a publicly-held limited partnership organized under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act pursuant to the amended Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (herein referred to as the "Agreement") dated May 26, 1983.  The Partnership's managing general partner is Angeles Realty Corporation II ("ARC II" or the "Managing General Partner"), a California corporation. The Managing General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.  The Elliott Accommodation Trust and the Elliott Family Partnership, a California limited partnership, were the Non-Managing General Partners. Effective December 31, 1997, the Elliott Family Partnership, Ltd. acquired the Elliott Accommodation Trust's general partner interest in the Partnership. On June 30, 2000, the Elliott Family Partnership sold its remaining interest to AIMCO Properties, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of AIMCO.  The Managing General Partner and the Non-Managing General Partner are herein collectively referred to as the "General Partners". The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2035, unless terminated prior to such date. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership operates four residential properties in or near major urban areas in the United States.

 

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership include the Partnership's interests in AP XII Associate GP, LLC and Hunters Glen Phase V GP, LLC, single member limited liability corporations, which are wholly-owned by the Partnership and AP XII Associates, LP which is wholly owned by the Partnership. All significant inter-entity balances have been eliminated. Minority interest is immaterial and not shown separately in the consolidated financial statements. 

 

Allocation of Profits, Gains, Losses and Distributions: The Partnership will allocate all profits, losses and distributions related to the operations of its investment properties 1% to the General Partners and 99% to the Limited Partners.  All profits, losses and distributions related to the sales and/or refinancing of its investment properties will be allocated in accordance with the Agreement.

 

Except as discussed below, the Partnership will allocate distributions 1% to the General Partners and 99% to the Limited Partners.

 

Upon the sale or other disposition, or refinancing, of any asset of the Partnership, the distributable net proceeds shall be distributed as follows: (i) to the Partners in proportion to their interests until the Limited Partners have received cumulative distributions equal to their original capital contributions reduced by the amount of any previous distributions;  (ii) to the Partners until the Limited Partners have received distributions from all sources equal to their 6% cumulative distribution; (iii) to the Managing General Partner until it has received an amount equal to 3% of the aggregate Disposition Prices of all properties or other investments sold or otherwise disposed of, or refinanced; (iv), to the Partners in proportion to their interests until the Limited Partners have received cumulative distributions from all sources equal to 150% of the Capital Contribution of the Limited Partners; (v) to the Managing General Partner until it has received an amount equal to 17.6% of the distributions made pursuant to (iv); and (vi) 85% to the Limited Partners and non-Managing General Partner in proportion to their interests and 15% ("Incentive Interest") to the Managing General Partner.

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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 $27,000 and $809,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, that are maintained by an affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in cash concentration accounts.

 

Tenant Security Deposits: The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease and such deposits are included in receivables and deposits. The security deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged the unit and is current on rental payments.

 

Deferred Costs: Loan costs of approximately $2,458,000 for both December 31, 2008 and 2007, less accumulated amortization of approximately $990,000 and $769,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The loan costs are amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements. Amortization expense for 2008 and 2007 was approximately $221,000 and $213,000, respectively, and is included in interest expense. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $221,000 for each of the years 2009 through 2012 and approximately $206,000 for 2013.

 

Leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases.  Amortization of these costs is included in operating expenses.

 

Investment Properties: Investment properties consist of four apartment complexes and are stated at cost. The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects, other tangible property improvements and replacements of existing property components.  Costs including interest, property taxes and operating costs associated with redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 34, “Capitalization of Interest Costs” and SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.”  Costs incurred in connection with capital projects are capitalized where the costs of the project exceed $250.  Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital expenditure activities at the property level.  The Partnership capitalizes interest, property taxes, and operating costs during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership capitalized construction period interest of approximately $215,000, property taxes of approximately $23,000 and operating expenses of approximately $8,000. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership capitalized construction period interest of approximately $13,000. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the useful life of the asset.  Expenditures for ordinary repairs, maintenance and apartment turnover costs are expensed as incurred.

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.  No adjustments for impairment of value were necessary for the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007.

 

Segment Reporting: SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports.  SFAS No. 131 also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. As defined in SFAS 131, the Partnership has only one reportable segment.

 

Depreciation: Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the apartment properties and related personal property. For Federal income tax purposes, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation of (1) real property additions over 27½ years and (2) personal property additions over 5 years.

 

Leases:  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.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", as amended by SFAS No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of 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 in the SFAS 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 long term debt) approximates their fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its long term debt by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be available to the Partnership for similar term, long term debt. The fair value of the Partnership’s long term debt at the Partnership’s incremental borrowing rate approximates its carrying value.

 

Advertising Costs: The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred.  Advertising costs of approximately $179,000 and $124,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are included in operating expense.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, such as the reporting entity’s own data. SFAS No. 157 requires fair value measurements to be disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are applicable to recurring fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Partnership is generally limited to annual disclosures required by SFAS No. 107.  The Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008, and at that time determined no transition adjustment was required.

The mortgage notes payable are fixed rate mortgages that are non-recourse and are secured by a pledge of the Partnership's investment properties and by a pledge of revenues from the respective investment properties. Certain of the notes include prepayment penalties if repaid prior to maturity. Further, the properties may not be sold subject to existing indebtedness.

 

On August 31, 2007, the Partnership obtained third mortgages in the total principal amount of approximately $15,714,000 on Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V, and VI. The third mortgages bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.84% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $93,000 in the aggregate beginning on October 1, 2007 through the December 1, 2015 maturity date.  The third mortgages have a balloon payment of approximately $13,695,000 due at maturity. With respect to the first, second and third mortgages on Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI, if no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to December 1, 2016 during which period the mortgages would require monthly payments of principal and interest, and would bear interest at a rate equal to the average of the one-month LIBOR plus 250 basis points. The Partnership may prepay the mortgages at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain non-recourse obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing. Loan costs of approximately $192,000 were incurred in connection with obtaining the third mortgages and have been capitalized.

Note D - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

 

The Partnership has no employees and depends on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for (i) certain payments to affiliates for services and (ii) reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. 

 

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from all of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $802,000 and $800,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in operating expenses.  

 

The Partnership Agreement provides for a fee equal to 7.5% of "net cash from operations", as defined in the Partnership Agreement to be paid to the Managing General Partner for executive and administrative management services. One half of this fee is to be accrued and not paid unless the limited partners have received distributions equal to a 5% cumulative annual return on their adjusted capital investment as defined in the Partnership Agreement or there are net proceeds from the sale or refinancing of a property.  No fee was earned during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Payments of approximately $40,000, representing the accrued fees due at December 31, 2006, were paid to the Managing General Partner, per the Partnership Agreement, in connection with the payment of operating distributions and the receipt of net proceeds from the third mortgages during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $818,000 and $464,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses, and investment properties. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are construction management services for certain capital improvement expenditures (not related to the redevelopment project) provided by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of approximately $175,000 and $151,000, respectively. In connection with the redevelopment project (as discussed in “Note F”), an affiliate of the Managing General Partner is to receive a redevelopment supervision fee of 4% of the actual redevelopment costs incurred.  The Partnership was charged approximately $419,000 and $68,000 in redevelopment supervision fees during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in investment properties. At December 31, 2008, approximately $141,000 of these reimbursements are payable to affiliates of the Managing General Partner and are included in due to affiliates. No such amounts were owed at December 31, 2007.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $832,000 to fund operations at Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI and Twin Lake Towers Apartments and approximately $8,562,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Twin Lake Towers Apartment.  There were no advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. during the year ended December 31, 2007. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement. The interest rate charged on the outstanding advances made to the Partnership ranges from market to market plus 2.00%. Affiliates of the General Partner review the applicable market rate for the Partnership quarterly. The interest rate on outstanding advances at December 31, 2008 ranged from 4.00% to 6.00%. Interest expense was approximately $225,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Total advances and accrued interest of approximately $9,619,000 remain unpaid at December 31, 2008 and are included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. No such amounts were owed at December 31, 2007. 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 itsreports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $673,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Twin Lake Towers Apartments and approximately $89,000 to cover operating expenses at Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI.

 

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Managing General Partner is entitled to receive a distribution equal to 3% of the aggregate disposition price of sold properties. The Partnership paid a distribution of $186,000 to the Managing General Partner related to the sale of Cooper Point Plaza in 1999. During 2001, the Partnership paid distributions of approximately $85,000 and $375,000 related to the sales of Briarwood and Gateway Gardens Apartments, respectively. These distributions are subordinate to the limited partners receiving their original capital contributions plus a cumulative preferred return of 6% per annum of their adjusted capital investment, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. If the limited partners have not received these returns when the Partnership terminates, the Managing General Partner will be required to return these amounts to the Partnership. 

 

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 years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $406,000 and $588,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 33,750 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 75.47% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2008.  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 75.47% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. 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.

The aggregate cost of the real estate for Federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2008 and 2007, is approximately 94,330,000 and $81,136,000, respectively.  The accumulated depreciation for Federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, is approximately $65,560,000 and $62,340,000, respectively.

 

Note F – Redevelopment

 

During the third quarter of 2007 the Partnership began a redevelopment project at Twin Lake Towers Apartments. The redevelopment project is estimated to cost approximately $20,287,000. The work commenced November 2007 and is expected to be completed by June 2010. The redevelopment is expected to consist of improvements to building exteriors, apartment interiors and common areas, plus construction of a new recreational and leasing center facility.  Improvements to the site will include landscaping, exterior lighting, signage, new parking garages and a swimming pool. Improvements to the building exteriors will include masonry upgrades, balcony railing upgrades and new roofs.  Improvements to the apartment interiors will include upgrades to the kitchens, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, closet doors and other finish type items.  Improvements to the common areas will include a redesign of the building entries and lobbies, new finishes for corridors and upgrading laundry rooms.  Various mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems will also be upgraded.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner will be supervising the redevelopment project and will receive a fee equal to 4% of the actual redevelopment costs incurred.  The Partnership expects to fund the redevelopment with advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and available cash flow from Partnership operations.  During the construction period, certain costs will be capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the property. During the year ended December 31, 2007 the Partnership completed approximately $2,230,000 of capital improvements associated with the redevelopment project. An additional $12,247,000 was completed during the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

Note G – Casualty Event

 

During February 2008, Twin Lake Towers Apartments suffered fire damage to several apartment units. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership received approximately $40,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain during the year ended December 31, 2008 of approximately $40,000 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated.

 

Note H - 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 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 will be dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $39,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment properties.  At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. 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 consolidated financial condition or results of operations.


ITEM 9.     CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

None.

 

Item 9A(T). 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. 

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Partnership’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, and effected by the Partnership’s management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

·         pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;

 

·         provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Partnership’s management; and

 

·         provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

The Partnership’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  In making this assessment, the Partnership’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

 

Based on their assessment, the Partnership’s management concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

(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 fourth quarter of 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Partnership knows of no contractual arrangements, the operation of the terms of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Partnership, except for: Article 12.1 of the Partnership Agreement which provides that upon a vote of the Limited Partners holding more than 50% of the then outstanding Limited Partnership Units the General Partners may be expelled from the Partnership upon 90 days written notice. In the event that successor general partners have been elected by Limited Partners holding more than 50% of the then outstanding Limited Partnership Units and if said Limited Partners elect to continue the business of the Partnership, the Partnership is required to pay in cash to the expelled Managing General Partner an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid management fee described in Article 10 of the Partnership Agreement and to purchase the General Partners' interest in the Partnership on the effective date of the expulsion, which shall be an amount equal to the difference between (i) the balance of the General Partner's capital account and (ii) the fair market value of the share of Distributable Net Proceeds to which the General Partners would be entitled.  Such determination of the fair market value of the share of Distributable Net Proceeds is defined in Article 12.2(ii) of the Partnership Agreement.

 

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

 

The Partnership has no employees and depends on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for (i) certain payments to affiliates for services and (ii) reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. 

 

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from all of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $802,000 and $800,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in operating expenses.  

 

The Partnership Agreement provides for a fee equal to 7.5% of "net cash from operations", as defined in the Partnership Agreement to be paid to the Managing General Partner for executive and administrative management services. One half of this fee is to be accrued and not paid unless the limited partners have received distributions equal to a 5% cumulative annual return on their adjusted capital investment as defined in the Partnership Agreement or there are net proceeds from the sale or refinancing of a property.  No fee was earned during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Payments of approximately $40,000, representing the accrued fees due at December 31, 2006, were paid to the Managing General Partner, per the Partnership Agreement, in connection with the payment of operating distributions and the receipt of net proceeds from the third mortgages during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $818,000 and $464,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses, and investment properties. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are construction management services for certain capital improvement expenditures (not related to the redevelopment project) provided by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of approximately $175,000 and $151,000, respectively. In connection with the redevelopment project (as discussed in “Note F” of “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”), an affiliate of the Managing General Partner is to receive a redevelopment supervision fee of 4% of the actual redevelopment costs incurred.  The Partnership was charged approximately $419,000 and $68,000 in redevelopment supervision fees during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in investment properties. At December 31, 2008, approximately $141,000 of these reimbursements are payable to affiliates of the Managing General Partner and are included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. No such amounts were owed at December 31, 2007.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $832,000 to fund operations at Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI and Twin Lake Towers Apartments and approximately $8,562,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Twin Lake Towers Apartment.  There were no advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. during the year ended December 31, 2007. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement. The interest rate charged on the outstanding advances made to the Partnership ranges from market to market plus 2.00%. Affiliates of the General Partner review the applicable market rate for the Partnership quarterly. The interest rate on outstanding advances at December 31, 2008 ranged from 4.00% to 6.00%. Interest expense was approximately $225,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Total advances and accrued interest of approximately $9,619,000 remain unpaid at December 31, 2008 and are included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. No such amounts were owed at December 31, 2007. 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 itsreports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $673,000 to cover redevelopment costs at Twin Lake Towers Apartments and approximately $89,000 to cover operating expenses at Hunters Glen Apartments IV, V and VI.

 

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Managing General Partner is entitled to receive a distribution equal to 3% of the aggregate disposition price of sold properties. The Partnership paid a distribution of $186,000 to the Managing General Partner related to the sale of Cooper Point Plaza in 1999. During 2001, the Partnership paid distributions of approximately $85,000 and $375,000 related to the sales of Briarwood and Gateway Gardens Apartments, respectively. These distributions are subordinate to the limited partners receiving their original capital contributions plus a cumulative preferred return of 6% per annum of their adjusted capital investment, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. If the limited partners have not received these returns when the Partnership terminates, the Managing General Partner will be required to return these amounts to the Partnership. 

 

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 years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $406,000 and $588,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 33,750 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 75.47% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2008.  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 75.47% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. 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.

 

Neither of the Managing General Partner's directors is independent under the independence standards established for New York Stock Exchange listed companies as both directors are employed by the parent of the Managing General Partner.

 

Item 14.    Principal Accounting Fees and Services

 

The Managing General Partner has reappointed Ernst & Young, LLP as independent auditors to audit the financial statements of the Partnership for 2009. The aggregate fees billed for services rendered by Ernst & Young, LLP for 2008 and 2007 are described below.

 

Audit Fees. Fees for audit services totaled approximately $66,000 and $59,000 for 2008 and 2007, respectively. Fees for audit services also include fees for the reviews of the Partnership’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

 

Tax Fees. Fees for tax services totaled approximately $14,000 and $15,000 for the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
