FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Annual Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of redevelopments, the Partnership’s future financial performance, including the Partnership’s ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy and rent levels, and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control including, without limitation: financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing and the risk that the Partnership’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership’s property and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; insurance risk; development risks; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by the Partnership. Readers should carefully review the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the section entitled “Risk Factors” described in Item 1A of this Annual Report and the other documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

PART I

 

Item 1.     Business

 

Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership (the "Partnership" or the "Registrant") was formed on January 19, 1984, under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act to acquire, own and operate residential properties. The General Partners of the Partnership are Oxford Residential Properties I Corporation and Oxford Fund I Limited Partnership. Oxford Residential Properties I Corporation serves as the managing general partner (the "Managing General Partner") and Oxford Fund I Limited Partnership serves as the Associated General Partner. The Partnership sold $25,714,000 of Assignee Units in a public offering that concluded on October 18, 1985. The net offering proceeds were used to acquire residential properties. Effective September 20, 2000, Apartment Investment and Management Company (“AIMCO”), a publicly traded real estate investment trust, acquired a 100% ownership interest in the Managing General Partner’s sole shareholder.  The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2027, unless terminated prior to such date.

 

On April 24, 2008, the Partnership Agreement was amended to merge Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership into Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, with the Delaware limited partnership as the surviving entity.  The Partnership Agreement was also amended to allow for the establishment of a series of limited partnership units.

 

The Partnership has no employees. Management and administrative services are performed by the Managing General Partner and by agents retained by the Managing General Partner. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has been providing such property management services.

 

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 property, 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 operatons 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 property 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 property or pay distributions.

 

Disruptions in the financial markets could effect 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 Untied 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 pay distributions.

 

The Partnership’s ability to fund necessary capital expenditures on its property 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 property, the Partnership may not be able to preserve the competitiveness of its property, which could adversely affect the Partnership’s net operating income.

 

The Partnership’s ability to make distribitions to its investors 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.

 

 

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

 

The Partnership’s apartment property competes 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 property.

 

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 property, or affect renovations of the property. 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 property is substantially in compliance with present requirements, the Partnership may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and the FHAA I connection with the ongoing operation of its property.

 

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 properties, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property. 

 

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 the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in “Item 7” of this Form 10-K.

On September 30, 2008, the Partnership sold Raven Hill Apartments to a third party for a gross sale price of $23,000,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $22,337,000 after payment of closing costs and a credit to the purchaser for deferred maintenance at the property. The Partnership used approximately $14,225,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property. As a result of the sale, the Partnership recorded a gain of approximately $13,766,000. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $242,000 due to the write off of unamortized loan costs and a prepayment penalty.

On June 20, 2008, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering Fairlane East Apartments. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance of approximately $9,442,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $10,200,000. The new loan was refinanced under a secured real estate credit facility (“Secured Credit Facility”) with AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc., as agent for Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, which has a maturity of October 1, 2010, with two one-year extension options. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of interest only beginning on August 1, 2008, through the October 1, 2010 maturity date, at which date the entire principal balance of $10,200,000 is due. The new loan has a variable interest rate of the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.78% (2.21% per annum at December 31, 2008) and resets monthly. The variable interest rate may increase to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.98% if the debt service coverage ratio of the investment property decreases below a prescribed threshold. The Secured Credit Facility provides mortgage loans on properties owned by other partnerships that are affiliated with the Managing General Partner. The Secured Credit Facility creates separate loans for each property that are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with the other property loans. The loans are prepayable without penalty. As a condition of the Secured Credit Facility, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, to guarantee certain non-recourse carveout obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing. Total capitalized loan costs associated with the new mortgage were approximately $104,000. Loan costs associated with the previous mortgage were fully amortized.

The Managing General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at Fairlane East Apartments to poor economic conditions in the Dearborn area.

 

As noted under "Item 1. Business", the real estate industry is highly competitive. The Partnership’s property is subject to competition from other residential apartment complexes in the area. The Managing General Partner believes that the property is adequately insured. The property is an apartment complex which leases units for terms of one year or less.  No tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space. The property is in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for an asset of this type and age.

Capital Improvements

 

Raven Hill Apartments

 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $195,000 of capital improvements at Raven Hill Apartments, consisting primarily of appliance and floor covering replacements and construction related to the casualty discussed in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.  These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and insurance proceeds. The Partnership sold Raven Hill Apartments to a third party on September 30, 2008.

 

Fairlane East Apartments

 

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $270,000 of capital improvements at Fairlane East Apartments, consisting primarily of swimming pool upgrades, and roof and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 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 if cash is available from operations or from Partnership reserves. To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

 

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 $13,000 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 unit holders 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 originally issued 25,714 Assignee Units (the “Units”) and through December 31, 2008, had redeemed a total of 2,156 Assignee Units, ranging in price from $332 to $600 per Unit. As of December 31, 2008, there were 644 holders of record owning an aggregate of 23,558 Units outstanding. Affiliates of the Managing General Partner owned 14,153.50 Units in the Partnership representing 60.08% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2008.  There is currently no established public market in which the Units are traded, and it is not anticipated that a public market will develop.

 

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

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Partnership distributed approximately $3,366,000 (approximately $3,244,000 to the Assignee Unit holders or $137.70 per Unit) from proceeds from the refinancing of Raven Hill Apartments, proceeds from the sale of Raven Hill Apartments and cash from operations.  Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, the timing of the debt maturity, refinancing and/or property sale. The Partnership’s cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital improvement expenditures, to permit additional distributions to its partners in 2009 or subsequent periods. See “Item 2. Property – Capital Improvements” for information relating to anticipated capital expenditures at the property.

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 14,153.50 in the Partnership representing 60.08% 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, Unit holders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters which would include voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 60.08% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO is in a position to control all such 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 property, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment property, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment property to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses.  As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the Managing General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions; accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively affect the Partnership’s financial results.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Partnership’s net income for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $13,684,000 and $276,000, respectively.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the consolidated statement of operations included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for the year ended December 31, 2007 has been restated to reflect the operations of Raven Hill Apartments as income from discontinued operations and the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been restated to reflect the assets and liabilities of Raven Hill Apartments as held for sale due to its sale on September 30, 2008.

 

On September 30, 2008, the Partnership sold Raven Hill Apartments to a third party for a gross sale price of $23,000,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $22,337,000 after payment of closing costs and a credit to the purchaser for deferred maintenance at the property. The Partnership used approximately $14,225,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property.  As a result of the sale, the Partnership recorded a gain of approximately $13,766,000, which is included in gain from sale of discontinued operations. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $242,000, due to the write off of unamortized loan costs and a prepayment penalty, which is included in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2008. The results of the property’s operations were income of approximately $711,000 and $698,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Also included in income from discontinued operations are revenues of approximately $2,367,000 and $2,962,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

During June 2007, Raven Hill Apartments, incurred damages as a result of a fire. The Partnership initially estimated building damages and lost rents of approximately $2,796,000 and $71,000, respectively. In addition, the Partnership incurred clean up expenses, primarily related to asbestos removal, of approximately $807,000, during the year ended December 31, 2007, which is included in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2007. All of the asbestos related work was completed in 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $2,087,000 to repair the damaged units, approximately $619,000 of which was held on deposit with the mortgage lender at December 31, 2007 and released to the Partnership during the year ended December 31, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership wrote off approximately $644,000 of undepreciated damaged assets, which resulted in a casualty gain of approximately $1,443,000, which is included in income from discontinued operatons, for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership revised its estimate of building damages to approximately $2,132,000. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership received additional proceeds of approximately $821,000.  Approximately $776,000 of the proceeds received during 2008 were related to the clean up expenses recognized during 2007. This amount is included in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Partnership recognized an additional casualty gain of approximately $195,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008 as a result of the revision to the estimate of building damages of approximately $150,000 and the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $45,000 to cover the damages, which is also included in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, the Partnership received approximately $71,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008 to cover lost rents, which was included in revenues in 2007.

 

The Partnership’s loss from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $551,000 and $422,000, respectively. The increase in loss from continuing operations is due to a decrease in total revenues and an increase in total expenses.  Total revenues decreased due to decreases in both rental and other income.  Rental income decreased primarily due to a decrease in occupancy and an increase in bad debt expense, partially offset by an increase in the average rental rate at Fairlane East Apartments. The decrease in other income is primarily due to decreases in tenant utility reimbursements at the property and interest income as a result of lower average interest rates.

 

Total expenses increased due to increases in interest, property tax and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses. Depreciation expense remained constant for the comparable periods. Interest expense increased due to an increase in amortization of loan costs associated with the previous mortgage encumbering Fairlane East Apartments, as a result of the mortgage lender exercising its call option on the mortgage, as discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, partially offset by a lower variable interest rate on the new mortgage encumbering Fairlane East Apartments and a decrease in interest on advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. Property tax expense increased due to an increase in the assessed value at Fairlane East Apartments.  The decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to decreases in contract services and hazard insurance premiums, partially offset by an increase in utility expenses at Fairlane East Apartments.

 

General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase in professional expenses associated with the administration of the Partnership. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are management reimbursements charged by the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2008, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,071,000, compared to approximately $426,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,645,000 is due to approximately $21,876,000 and $627,000 of cash provided by investing and operating activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $19,858,000 of cash used in financing activities. Cash provided by investing activities consisted of net proceeds received from the sale of Raven Hill Apartments and insurance proceeds received, partially offset by property improvements and replacements.  Cash used in financing activities consisted of repayment of the mortgages encumbering both investment properties, repayment of advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering both of the Partnership’s investment properties, distributions to partners and loan costs and a prepayment penalty paid, partially offset by proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgage notes payable encumbering both investment properties and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P.  The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, advanced approximately $497,000 and $1,245,000, respectively, to the Partnership to fund mortgage application fees, operations and capital improvements at both investment properties. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement.  The interest rates charged on the advances made to the Partnership ranged from the prime rate plus 2% to a variable rate based on the prime rate plus a market rate adjustment for similar type loans.  Affiliates of the Managing General Partner review the market rate adjustment quarterly. Interest expense was approximately $124,000 and $188,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership repaid approximately $3,542,000 of advances and accrued interest from proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgages encumbering both investment properties. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership repaid approximately $907,000 of advances and accrued interest.  At December 31, 2007, approximately $2,921,000 of advances and accrued interest is included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheet included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. There were no advances or accrued interest due to affiliates at December 31, 2008. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The Managing General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. 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 expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.  Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or from Partnership reserves.  To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

 

The Partnership’s assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. On June 20, 2008, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering Fairlane East Apartments. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance of approximately $9,442,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $10,200,000. The new loan was refinanced under a secured real estate credit facility (“Secured Credit Facility”) with AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc., as agent for Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, which has a maturity of October 1, 2010, with two one-year extension options. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of interest only beginning on August 1, 2008, through the October 1, 2010 maturity date, at which date the entire principal balance of $10,200,000 is due. The new loan has a variable interest rate of the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.78% (2.21% per annum at December 31, 2008) and resets monthly. The variable interest rate may increase to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.98% if the debt service coverage ratio of the investment property decreases below a prescribed threshold. The Secured Credit Facility provides mortgage loans on properties owned by other partnerships that are affiliated with the Managing General Partner. The Secured Credit Facility creates separate loans for each property that are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with the other property loans. The loans are prepayable without penalty. As a condition of the Secured Credit Facility, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, to guarantee certain non-recourse carveout obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing. Total capitalized loan costs associated with the new mortgage were approximately $104,000 and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. Loan costs associated with the previous mortgage were fully amortized.

 

On June 30, 2008, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage debt encumbering Raven Hill Apartments.  The refinancing resulted in the replacement of the existing mortgage debt, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance outstanding of approximately $10,043,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $14,225,000. The new mortgage loan bore interest at 5.75% per annum and required monthly payments of interest only of approximately $68,000 beginning on August 1, 2008 through June 30, 2010.  From July 1, 2010 through the maturity date of July 1, 2015, the new mortgage loan required monthly payments of principal and interest with the interest rate being equal to the prime rate in effect 90 days prior to July 1, 2010 plus 2.50%, with a minimum interest rate of 5.75% and a maximum interest rate of 16.00%.  The interest rate was to reset annually. The new mortgage loan required a balloon payment at maturity. Total capitalized loan costs associated with the new mortgage were approximately $249,000. The unamortized balance of these loan costs was written off in conjunction with the sale discussed above. Loan costs associated with the previous mortgage were fully amortized.

 

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

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Partnership distributed approximately $3,366,000 (approximately $3,244,000 to the Assignee Unit Holders or $137.70 per Assignee unit) from proceeds from the refinancing of Raven Hill Apartments, proceeds from the sale of Raven Hill Apartments and cash from operations.  Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, the timing of the debt maturity, refinancing and/or property sale.  The Partnership’s cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis.  There can be no assurance, however,  that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital improvement expenditures, to permit any additional distributions to its partners in 2009 or subsequent periods.

 

Other

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 14,153.50 Assignee units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 60.08% 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, Unit holders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters which would include voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 60.08% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO is in a position to control all such 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable.  If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property.   If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

 

Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk.  Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership’s investment property.  These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; 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 asset.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

The Partners

OxfordResidential Properties I Limited Partnership

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ (deficiency) capital, 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 Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows 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: Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was formed on January 19, 1984, to acquire, own and operate residential properties. The General Partners of the Partnership are Oxford Residential Properties I Corporation and Oxford Fund I Limited Partnership. Oxford Residential Properties I Corporation serves as the managing general partner (the "Managing General Partner") and Oxford Fund I Limited Partnership serves as the Associated General Partner. The Managing General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2027 unless terminated prior to such date. The Partnership operates one apartment property located in the United States.

 

On April 24, 2008, the Partnership Agreement was amended to merge Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership into Oxford Residential Properties I Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, with the Delaware limited partnership as the surviving entity.  The Partnership Agreement was also amended to allow for the establishment of a series of limited partnership units.

 

Basis of Presentation:  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 has been restated to reflect the operations of Raven Hill Apartments as income from discontinued operations and the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been restated to reflect the assets and liabilities of Raven Hill Apartments as held for sale due to its sale on September 30, 2008 (see Note G).

 

The following table presents summarized results of operations related to the Partnership’s discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

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 consolidated 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 $2,986,000 and $332,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, that are maintained by an affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in cash concentration accounts.


Depreciation:  Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the apartment property and related personal property. For Federal income tax purposes, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation of (1) real property over 27 1/2 years and (2) personal property additions over 5 years.

 

Deferred Costs:  Loan costs of approximately $104,000 and $415,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, less accumulated amortization of approximately $20,000 and $94,000, respectively, are included in other assets and assets held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The loan costs are amortized over the term of the related loan agreement. The total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $349,000 and $21,000 and is included in interest expense and income from discontinued operations. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $46,000 and $38,000 for the years 2009 and 2010, respectively.

 

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 and income from discontinued operations.

 

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

 

LeasesThe 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.

 

Partners' (Deficiency) Capital: The Limited Partnership Agreement ("Agreement") provides that income and losses from operations for both financial and tax reporting purposes shall be allocated 98% to the Assignee Unit Holders and 2% to the General Partners. The Agreement provides that gain from the sale of investment properties is allocated to the partners in the same proportion and to the same extent as the partners received distributions of sale proceeds. To the extent that the gain exceeds the distribution, the excess shall be allocated 98% to the Assignee Unit holders and 2% to the General Partner. For financial reporting purposes, the net income per assignee unit (“Assignee Unit") has been calculated by dividing the portion of the Partnership's net income allocable to Assignee Unit Holders (98%) by the weighted average of Assignee Units outstanding. In all computations of earnings per Assignee Unit, the weighted average of Assignee Units outstanding during the period constitutes the basis for the net income amounts per Assignee Unit on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Cash flow, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, will be disbursed within 60 days after June 30 and December 31, 90% to the Assignee Unit Holders and 10% to the General Partners and the Assignor Limited Partner. The Assignee Unit Holders are entitled to a noncumulative, preferred 6% return. To the extent that these preferences are not achieved from current operations, 40% of the property management fees and the Managing General Partners’ and the Assignor Limited Partner’s 10% share in cash flow will be deferred. Deferred property management fees are to be paid without interest in the next year in which excess cash flow is available after distribution to the Assignee Unit Holders of their preferred 6% return or out of sale or refinancing proceeds, after certain return of capital contributions are met.


Investment Property:  Investment property consists of one apartment complex and is 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 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 did not capitalize any costs related to interest, property taxes or operating costs during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.  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 No. 131, the Partnership has only one reportable segment.

 

Advertising: The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred.  Advertising costs of approximately $131,000 and $150,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are included in operating expense and income from discontinued operations.

 

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 amounts of its financial instruments (except for long term debt) approximate their fair values 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 variable rate long term debt at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate approximates its carrying value.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued 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.

On June 20, 2008, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering Fairlane East Apartments. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance of approximately $9,442,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $10,200,000. The new loan was refinanced under a secured real estate credit facility (“Secured Credit Facility”) with AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc., as agent for Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, which has a maturity of October 1, 2010, with two one-year extension options. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of interest only beginning on August 1, 2008, through the October 1, 2010 maturity date, at which date the entire principal balance of $10,200,000 is due. The new loan has a variable interest rate of the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.78% (2.21% per annum at December 31, 2008) and resets monthly. The variable interest rate may increase to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.98% if the debt service coverage ratio of the investment property decreases below a prescribed threshold. The Secured Credit Facility provides mortgage loans on properties owned by other partnerships that are affiliated with the Managing General Partner. The Secured Credit Facility creates separate loans for each property that are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with the other property loans. The loans are prepayable without penalty. As a condition of the Secured Credit Facility, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, to guarantee certain non-recourse carveout obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing. Total capitalized loan costs associated with the new mortgage were approximately $104,000 and are included in other assets. Loan costs associated with the previous mortgage were fully amortized.


On June 30, 2008, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage debt encumbering Raven Hill Apartments.  The refinancing resulted in the replacement of the existing mortgage debt, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance outstanding of approximately $10,043,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $14,225,000. The new mortgage loan bore interest at 5.75% per annum and required monthly payments of interest only of approximately $68,000 beginning on August 1, 2008 through June 30, 2010.  From July 1, 2010 through the maturity date of July 1, 2015, the new mortgage loan required monthly payments of principal and interest with the interest rate being equal to the prime rate in effect 90 days prior to July 1, 2010 plus 2.50%, with a minimum interest rate of 5.75% and a maximum interest rate of 16.00%.  The interest rate was to reset annually. The new mortgage loan required a balloon payment at maturity. Total capitalized loan costs associated with the new mortgage were approximately $249,000. The unamortized balance of these loan costs was written off in conjunction with the sale discussed in Note G. Loan costs associated with the previous mortgage were fully amortized.

 

The mortgage note payable is non-recourse and is secured by pledge of the apartment property and by pledge of revenues from the property.  The property may not be sold subject to existing indebtedness.

Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

 

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

 

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from both of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. However, 40% of this fee is subordinated until certain operating distribution preference levels to the Assignee Unit Holders are achieved or the Partnership distributes proceeds from a sale or refinancing. Total property management fees of approximately $268,000 and $296,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were charged to expense and are included in operating expense and income from discontinued operations. Property management fees of approximately $107,000 and $119,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were deferred. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $511,000 of deferred management fees from proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgage encumbering Raven Hill Apartments and proceeds from the sale of Raven Hill Apartments. The cumulative deferred management fees as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $10,000 and $414,000, respectively, and are included in other liabilities and due to affiliates, respectively.  Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Partnership paid the balance of the subordinated management fees with additional proceeds from the sale of Raven Hill Apartments.

 

An affiliate of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $117,000 and $123,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses and investment property. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment property for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of approximately $19,000 and $14,000, respectively. At December 31, 2007, approximately $546,000 in accountable administrative expenses and related accrued interest were due to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and are included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  There were no accountable administrative expenses due at December 31, 2008.

 

AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $497,000 and $1,245,000 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to fund mortgage application fees, operations and capital improvements at both investment properties. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement.  The interest rates charged on the advances made to the Partnership ranged from the prime rate plus 2% to a variable rate based on the prime rate plus a market rate adjustment for similar type loans.  Affiliates of the Managing General Partner review the market rate adjustment quarterly. Interest expense was approximately $124,000 and $188,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership repaid approximately $3,542,000 of advances and accrued interest from proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgages encumbering both investment properties. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership repaid approximately $907,000 of advances and accrued interest. At December 31, 2007, the total advances and accrued interest due to AIMCO Properties, L.P. was approximately $2,921,000 and is included in due to affiliates.  There were no outstanding advances due at December 31, 2008. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Partnership insures its 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 $102,000 and $184,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 14,153.50 Assignee units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 60.08% 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, Unit holders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters which would include voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 60.08% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO is in a position to control all such 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 tax basis of the Partnership's assets and liabilities is approximately $1,741,000 and $6,541,000 less than the assets and liabilities as reported in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Note F – Casualty Events

 

During June 2007, Raven Hill Apartments, incurred damages as a result of a fire. The Partnership initially estimated building damages and lost rents of approximately $2,796,000 and $71,000, respectively. In addition, the Partnership incurred clean up expenses, primarily related to asbestos removal, of approximately $807,000, during the year ended December 31, 2007 and is included in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.  All of the asbestos related work was completed in 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $2,087,000 to repair the damaged units, approximately $619,000 of which was held on deposit with the mortgage lender at December 31, 2007 and released to the Partnership during the year ended December 31, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership wrote off approximately $644,000 of undepreciated damaged assets, which resulted in a casualty gain of approximately $1,443,000, which is included in income from discontinued operations, for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership revised its estimate of building damages to approximately $2,132,000. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership received additional proceeds of approximately $821,000.  Approximately $776,000 of the proceeds received during 2008 were related to the clean up expenses recognized during 2007. This amount is included in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Partnership recognized an additional casualty gain of approximately $195,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008 as a result of the revision to the estimate of building damages of approximately $150,000 and the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $45,000 to cover the damages, which is also included in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, the Partnership received approximately $71,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008 to cover lost rents, which was included in revenues in 2007.

 

Note G – Sale of Discontinued Operations

 

On September 30, 2008, the Partnership sold Raven Hill Apartments to a third party for a gross sale price of $23,000,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $22,337,000 after payment of closing costs and a credit to the purchaser for deferred maintenance at the property. The Partnership used approximately $14,225,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property. As a result of the sale, the Partnership recorded a gain of approximately $13,766,000, which is included in gain from sale of discontinued operations. In addition, the Partnership recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $242,000 due to the write off of unamortized loan costs and a prepayment penalty, which is included in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2008. The results of the property’s operations were income of approximately $711,000 and $698,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Also included in income from discontinued operations are revenues of approximately $2,367,000 and $2,962,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

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 $13,000 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 property that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

 

Environmental

 

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property, 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 property, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property.  As discussed in “Note F”, the Partnership incurred clean up expenses of approximately $807,000 related to asbestos removal at Raven Hill Apartments during 2007.  All of the asbestos related work was completed during 2007.

 

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.

 

Note I – Subsequent Event

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Partnership distributed approximately $3,366,000 (approximately $3,244,000 to the Assignee Unit holders or $137.70 per Unit) from proceeds from the refinancing of Raven Hill Apartments, proceeds from the sale of Raven Hill Apartments and cash from operations.

(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.

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

 

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from both of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. However, 40% of this fee is subordinated until certain operating distribution preference levels to the Assignee Unit Holders are achieved or the Partnership distributes proceeds from a sale or refinancing. Total property management fees of approximately $268,000 and $296,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were charged to expense and are included in operating expense and income from discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operatons included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. Property management fees of approximately $107,000 and $119,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were deferred. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $511,000 of deferred management fees from proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgage encumbering Raven Hill Apartments and proceeds from the sale of Raven Hill Apartments. The cumulative deferred management fees as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $10,000 and $414,000, respectively, and are included in other liablities and due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Partnership paid the balance of the subordinated management fees with additional proceeds from the sale of Raven Hill Apartments.

 

An affiliate of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $117,000 and $123,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses and investment property on the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment property for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of approximately $19,000 and $14,000, respectively.  At December 31, 2007, approximately $546,000 in accountable administrative expenses and related accrued interest were due to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and are included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheet included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementry Data”.  There were no accountable administrative expenses due at December 31, 2008. 

 

AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $497,000 and $1,245,000 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to fund mortgage application fees, operations and capital improvements at both investment properties. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement.  The interest rates charged on the advances made to the Partnership ranged from the prime rate plus 2% to a variable rate based on the prime rate plus a market rate adjustment for similar type loans.  Affiliates of the Managing General Partner review the market rate adjustment quarterly. Interest expense was approximately $124,000 and $188,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership repaid approximately $3,542,000 of advances and accrued interest from proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgages encumbering both investment properties. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership repaid approximately $907,000 of advances and accrued interest. At December 31, 2007, the total advances and accrued interest due to AIMCO Properties, L.P. was approximately $2,921,000 and is included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.  There were no outstanding advances due at December 31, 2008. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Partnership insures its 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 $102,000 and $184,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

 

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 14,153.50 in the Partnership representing 60.08% 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, Unit holders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters which would include voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 60.08% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO is in a position to control all such 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
