Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of Aimco and Aimco Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2022 have been derived from their respective audited financial statements at that date, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s and Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Except where indicated, the footnotes refer to both Aimco and Aimco Operating Partnership.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries. Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and “partner” refers to a partner in a limited partnership or a member of a limited liability company.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period condensed consolidated financial statement presentation with no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Common Noncontrolling Interests in Aimco Operating Partnership

Common noncontrolling interests in Aimco Operating Partnership consist of OP Units held by third parties, and are reflected in Aimco’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Common Noncontrolling Interests in Aimco Operating Partnership. Aimco Operating Partnership’s income or loss is allocated to the holders of OP Units, other than Aimco, based on the weighted-average number of OP Units (including Aimco) outstanding during the period. For the periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the holders of OP Units had a weighted-average economic ownership interest in Aimco Operating Partnership of approximately 5.1%, and 5.0%, respectively. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Aimco are held by Aimco Operating Partnership.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships

Redeemable noncontrolling interests consist of equity interests held by a limited partner in a consolidated real estate partnership that has a finite life. If a consolidated real estate partnership includes redemption rights that are not within our control, the noncontrolling interest is included as temporary equity.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships as of March 31, 2023, consists of the following: (i) a $102.0 million preferred equity interest in an entity that owns a portfolio of operating apartment communities and (ii) equity interests in two separate consolidated joint ventures (in which we hold preferred equity interests in one and common equity interests in the other) that are actively developing residential apartment communities. Capital contributions, distributions, and net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships are determined in accordance with the relevant partnership agreements. These interests are presented as Redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023.

The following table shows changes in our redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Mezzanine Investment

In November 2019, Aimco Predecessor made a five-year, $275.0 million mezzanine loan to the partnership owning the “Parkmerced Apartments” located in southwest San Francisco (the “Mezzanine Investment”). The loan bears interest at a 10% annual rate, accruing if not paid from property operations. Ownership of the subsidiaries that originated and hold the Mezzanine Investment was retained by AIR following the Separation.

The Separation Agreement with AIR provides for AIR to transfer ownership of the subsidiaries that originated and hold the Mezzanine Investment, a related equity option to acquire a 30% interest in the partnership owning Parkmerced Apartments and the interest rate option, or swaption, that provides partial protection against future refinancing risk to Aimco through 2024 once required third-party consents are received. At the time of Separation and as of the date of this filing, legal title of these subsidiaries had not yet transferred to us. Until legal title of the subsidiaries is transferred, AIR is obligated to pass payments received on the Mezzanine Investment to us, and we are obligated to indemnify AIR against any costs and expenses related thereto. We have the risks and rewards of ownership of the Mezzanine Investment and have recognized an asset related to our right to receive the Mezzanine Investment from AIR.

On a periodic basis, we evaluate our Mezzanine Investment for impairment. We assess whether there are any indicators that imply the value of our investment may be impaired. These include assessments of both the underlying property performance and general market conditions in place. An investment is considered impaired if we determine that its fair value is less than the net carrying value of the investment on an other-than-temporary basis. Cash flow projections for the investments consider property level factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. We consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of our investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include the loan’s maturity date, our intent and ability to retain our investment in the entity, and the financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity.

Prior to recording a non-cash impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2022, we recognized as income the net amounts earned on the Mezzanine Investment by AIR on its equity investment that were due to be paid to us when collected to the extent the income was supported by the change in the counterparty’s claim to the net assets of the underlying borrower. The income recognized primarily represented the interest accrued under the terms of the underlying Mezzanine Investment.

In February 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell our Mezzanine Investment for $167.5 million. The initial $5.0 million deposit received from the purchaser became nonrefundable in April 2023 when various conditions, including transfer consents, were cleared. The sale is expected to close during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Certain aspects of our operations, including our development and redevelopment activities, are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRS entities. Additionally, our TRS entities hold investments in one of our apartment communities and 1001 Brickell Bay Drive.

Our income tax benefit (expense) calculated in accordance with GAAP includes income taxes associated with the income or loss of our TRS entities. Income taxes, as well as changes in valuation allowance and incremental deferred tax items in conjunction with intercompany asset transfers and internal restructurings (if applicable), are included in Income tax benefit (expense) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Consolidated GAAP income or loss subject to tax consists of pretax income or loss of our taxable entities and gains retained by the REIT. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss subject to tax of $4.9 million, compared to a net loss subject to tax of $14.8 million for the same period in 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized an income tax benefit of $4.2 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $4.1 million during the same period in 2022. The change is due primarily to the tax effect of depreciation associated with properties owned by, and activities of, our TRS entities, as well as a reduction to the effective state tax rate expected to apply to the reversal of our existing deferred items.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

We classify highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. We maintain cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in these accounts in the past and believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk because our accounts are deposited with major financial institutions.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of tenant security deposits, capital replacement reserves, insurance reserves, and cash restricted as required by our debt agreements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04,“Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provides optional expedients to debt, derivatives, and other contracts that refer to LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The original ASU was effective as of its issuance date and provided temporary relief through December 31, 2022, which was extended through December 31, 2024 by ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848". The UK Financial Conduct Authority has an intended cessation date of the overnight 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month tenors of USD LIBOR of June 30, 2023. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the standard and may apply the optional expedients when LIBOR is discontinued, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
