NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Davidson
Diversified Real Estate I, L.P. (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b)
of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of Davidson Diversified Properties, Inc.
(the "Managing General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Partnership's 100% limited
partnership interest in Ashley Woods L.L.C. As a result, the Partnership
consolidates its interest in Ashley Woods, whereby all accounts of Ashley Woods
are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership with
intercompany accounts being eliminated.
NOTE B - TRANSFER OF CONTROL
Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and
February 26, 1999, Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia Properties Trust
merged into Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly
traded real estate investment trust, with AIMCO being the surviving corporation
(the "Insignia Merger"). As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership interest in
the Managing General Partner. The Managing General Partner does not believe
that this transaction will have a material effect on the affairs and operations
of the Partnership.
NOTE C- TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES
The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General
Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all
partnership activities. Affiliates of the Managing General Partner provide
property management and asset management services to the Partnership. The
Partnership Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for property
management services based on a percentage of revenue and for reimbursement of
certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. The
following payments were paid to affiliates of the Managing General Partner
during each of the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998:
1999 1998
(in thousands)
Property management fees (included in
operating expenses) $ 39 $ 38
Reimbursement for services of affiliates
(included in investment properties,
general and administrative expenses
and operating expenses) (1) 22 29
(1) Included in "Reimbursements for services of affiliates" is approximately
$4,000 of construction oversight reimbursements in 1998. No such costs
were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, affiliates of the
Managing General Partner were entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from all
of the Registrant's properties as compensation for providing property management
services. The Registrant paid to such affiliates approximately $39,000 and
$38,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
An affiliate of the Managing General Partner received reimbursement of
accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $22,000 and
$29,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Partnership is liable to a company affiliated with the Managing General
Partner through common ownership for real estate commissions in the amounts of
$125,000 for Revere Village and $196,000 for Essex which were sold in previous
years. The total amount of $321,000 is included on the consolidated balance
sheet as "Due to affiliate". Payment of the commissions will not be made to the
affiliated company until each limited partner has received a payment equal to
their original invested capital, plus 8% per annum cumulative non-compounded on
their adjusted invested capital commencing on the last day of the calendar
quarter in which each limited partner was admitted to the Partnership through
the date of payment.
On September 26, 1998, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner purchased
Lehman Brothers' class "D" Subordinated bonds of SASCO, 1992-M1. These bonds
are secured by 55 multi-family apartment mortgage loan pairs held in Trust,
including Versailles on the Lake Apartments owned by the Partnership.
NOTE D - SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Partnership has one reportable segment: residential properties. The
Partnership's residential property segment consists of two apartment complexes
in Cincinnati, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Partnership rents apartment
units to tenants for terms that are typically twelve months or less.
The Partnership evaluates performance based on net income. The accounting
policies of the reportable segment are the same as those of the Partnership as
described in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1998.
The Partnership's reportable segment consists of investment properties that
offer similar products and services. Although each of the investment properties
is managed separately, they have been aggregated into one segment as they
provide services with similar types of products and customers.
Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 is shown
in the tables below (in thousands). The "Other" column includes partnership
administration related items and income and expense not allocated to the
reportable segment.

NOTE E - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others,
the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated
partnerships and corporate entities. The complaint purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal
defendants, challenging the acquisition by Insignia and entities which were, at
the time, affiliates of Insignia ("Insignia Affiliates") of interests in certain
general partner entities, past tender offers by Insignia Affiliates as well as a
recently announced agreement between Insignia and AIMCO. The complaint seeks
monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the
Partnership. On June 25, 1998, the Managing General Partner filed a motion
seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the
plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint. The Managing General Partner has
filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard during February 1999.
No ruling on such demurrers has been received. The Managing General Partner
does not anticipate that costs associated with this case, if any, will be
material to the Partnership's overall operations.
The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation that
is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The matters discussed in this Form 10-QSB contain certain forward-looking
statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market
conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the
disclosures contained in this Form 10-QSB and the other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Registrant from time to time.
The discussion of the Registrant's business and results of operations, including
forward-looking statements pertaining to such matters, does not take into
account the effects of any changes to the Registrant's business and results of
operation. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors,
including those identified herein.
The Partnership's investment properties consist of two apartment complexes. The
following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998:
Average Occupancy
1999 1998
Ashley Woods Apartments
Cincinnati, Ohio 93% 89%
Versailles on the Lake Apartments
Fort Wayne, Indiana 82% 90%
The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Ashley
Woods to increased marketing and advertising efforts along with concessions
currently being offered to attract new tenants. The decrease in occupancy at
Versailles on the Lake is primarily attributable to softening of the local
rental market as a result of increased home purchases and competition from
surrounding properties. The property lowered its rental rates during the first
quarter of 1999 in an effort to attract tenants.
Results of Operations
The Partnership realized a loss of approximately $34,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 compared to net income of approximately $5,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in net income for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 is due to a decrease in total revenues coupled with
an increase in total expenses. Total revenues decreased due to decreased rental
revenue. Rental revenue decreased primarily due to increased concession costs
at both of the Partnership's properties and decreased occupancy at Versailles on
the Lake as discussed above, which was partially offset by increased average
rental rates at Ashley Woods Apartments.
Total expenses increased primarily due to increased operating expenses which
were partially offset by decreased property taxes. Operating expenses increased
due to an increase in maintenance expenses at Ashley Woods in an effort to
increase occupancy. Property tax expense for Ashley Woods for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 includes additional amounts owed due to a tax rate increase
on tax bills received and paid in arrears for which there was an underaccrual in
1997. Property tax for the three months ended March 31, 1999 does not include
any such additional amount. General and administrative expense remained
relatively constant for the comparable periods. Included in general and
administrative expenses at both March 31, 1999 and 1998, are reimbursements to
the Managing General Partner allowed under the Partnership Agreement associated
with its management of the Partnership. Costs associated with the quarterly and
annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual
audit required by the Partnership Agreement are also included.
As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment
properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or
increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in
expenses. As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to
protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in
expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level.
However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of
rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions,
there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain
such a plan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 1999 the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$601,000 compared to approximately $1,076,000 at March 31, 1998. The increase
in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $263,000 as compared to the
partnership's year ended December 31, 1998, is due to approximately $143,000 of
cash provided by operating activities and approximately $161,000 of cash
provided by investing activities, which was partially offset by approximately
$41,000 of cash used in financing activities. Cash provided by investing
activities consisted of net receipts from escrow accounts maintained by the
mortgage lender which was partially offset by property improvements and
replacements. Cash used in financing activities consisted of payments of
principal made on the mortgages encumbering the Registrant's properties. The
Registrant invests its working capital reserves in a money market account.
The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical
assets and other operating needs of the Registrant and to comply with Federal,
state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. Capital improvements
planned for each of the Registrant's properties are detailed below:
Ashley Woods
During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership completed
approximately $43,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting
primarily of heating improvements, appliances, carpet, vinyl and tile
replacement, and window replacement. These improvements were funded from the
Partnership's reserves and operating cash flow. Based on a report received from
an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements
and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it
is estimated that the property requires approximately $939,000 of capital
improvements over the near term. Capital improvements planned for 1999 consist
of interior and exterior building improvements. These improvements are budgeted
for, but not limited to, approximately $365,000.
Versailles on the Lake
During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership completed
approximately $40,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting
primarily of office equipment, carpet and vinyl replacement, and plumbing
repairs. These improvements were funded from the Partnership's operating cash
flow. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant
analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing
General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property
requires approximately $427,000 of capital improvements over the near term.
Capital improvements planned for 1999 consist of interior and exterior building
improvements. These improvements are budgeted for, but not limited to,
approximately $277,000.
The capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from
operations or from Partnership reserves. To the extent that such budgeted
capital improvements are completed, the Registrant's distributable cash flow, if
any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.
The Registrant's current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term
needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Registrant. The mortgage
indebtedness of approximately $10,331,000, net of discount, is amortized over
periods ranging from 21 to 30 years with balloon payments due in 2002 and 2004.
The Managing General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or
sell the properties prior to such maturity date. If the property cannot be
refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Registrant will risk losing such
property through foreclosure.
No cash distributions were made during the three months ended March 31, 1999. A
cash distribution of $901,000 ($1,197.46 per limited partnership unit) was made
during the three months ended March 31, 1998. This distribution represented a
portion of the net proceeds from the mortgage refinancing of Ashley Woods.
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from
operations, timing of debt maturities, property sales, refinancings, and the
availability of cash reserves. The Partnership's distribution policy will be
reviewed on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after required
capital improvements to permit distributions to its partners in 1999 or
subsequent periods.
Potential Tender Offer
On October 1, 1998, Insignia Financial Group, Inc. merged into AIMCO, a real
estate investment trust, whose Class A Common Shares are listed on the New York
Stock Exchange. As a result of such merger, AIMCO and AIMCO Properties, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership and the operating partnership of AIMCO ("AIMCO OP")
acquired indirect control of the Managing General Partner. AIMCO and its
affiliates currently own 14.223% of the partnership interests in the
Partnership. AIMCO is presently considering whether it will engage in an
exchange offer to acquire additional limited partnership interests in the
Partnership for cash or preferred units or common units of limited partnership
interests in AIMCO OP. While such an exchange offer is possible, no definite
plans exist as to when or whether to commence such an exchange offer, or as to
the terms of any such exchange offer, and it is possible that none will occur.
A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These
securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time
the registration statement becomes effective. This Form 10-QSB shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall
there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
Year 2000 Compliance
General Description of the Year 2000 Issue and the Nature and Effects of the
Year 2000 on Information Technology (IT) and Non-IT Systems
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. The Partnership
is dependent upon the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for management
and administrative services ("Managing Agent"). Any of the computer programs or
hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result
in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions,
send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.
Over the past two years, the Managing Agent has determined that it will be
required to modify or replace significant portions of its software and certain
hardware so that those systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31,
1999. The Managing Agent presently believes that with modifications or
replacements of existing software and certain hardware, the Year 2000 issue can
be mitigated. However, if such modifications and replacements are not made or
not completed in time, the Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the
operations of the Partnership.
The Managing Agent's plan to resolve Year 2000 issues involves four phases:
assessment, remediation, testing, and implementation. To date, the Managing
Agent has fully completed its assessment of all the information systems that
could be significantly affected by the Year 2000, and has begun the remediation,
testing and implementation phases on both hardware and software systems.
Assessments are continuing in regards to embedded systems. The status of each
is detailed below.
Status of Progress in Becoming Year 2000 Compliant, Including Timetable for
Completion of Each Remaining Phase
Computer Hardware:
During 1997 and 1998, the Managing Agent identified all of the computer systems
at risk and formulated a plan to repair or replace each of the affected systems.
In August 1998, the mainframe system used by the Managing Agent became fully
functional. In addition to the mainframe, PC-based network servers, routers and
desktop PCs were analyzed for compliance. The Managing Agent has begun to
replace each of the non-compliant network connections and desktop PCs and, as of
March 31, 1999, had completed approximately 75% of this effort.
The total cost to the Managing Agent to replace the PC-based network servers,
routers and desktop PCs is expected to be approximately $1.5 million of which
$1.3 million has been incurred to date. The remaining network connections and
desktop PCs are expected to be upgraded to Year 2000 compliant systems by July
31, 1999.
Computer Software:
The Managing Agent utilizes a combination of off-the-shelf, commercially
available software programs as well as custom-written programs that are designed
to fit specific needs. Both of these types of programs were studied, and
implementation plans written and executed with the intent of repairing or
replacing any non-compliant software programs.
During 1998, the Managing Agent began converting the existing property
management and rent collection systems to its management properties Year 2000
compliant systems. The estimated additional costs to convert such systems at
all properties, is $200,000, and the implementation and the testing process is
expected to be completed by July 31, 1999.
The final software area is the office software and server operating systems.
The Managing Agent has upgraded all non-compliant office software systems on
each PC and has upgraded 80% of the server operating systems. The remaining
server operating systems are planned to be upgraded to be Year 2000 compliant by
July 31, 1999.
Operating Equipment:
The Managing Agent has operating equipment, primarily at the property sites,
which needed to be evaluated for Year 2000 compliance. In September 1997, the
Managing Agent began taking a census and inventory of embedded systems
(including those devices that use time to control systems and machines at
specific properties, for example elevators, heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning systems, security and alarm systems, etc.).
The Managing Agent has chosen to focus its attention mainly upon security
systems, elevators, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, telephone
systems and switches, and sprinkler systems. While this area is the most
difficult to fully research adequately, management has not yet found any major
non-compliance issues that put the Managing Agent at risk financially or
operationally. The Managing Agent intends to have a third-party conduct an
audit of these systems and report their findings by July 31, 1999.
Any of the above operating equipment that has been found to be non-compliant to
date has been replaced or repaired. To date, these have consisted only of
security systems and phone systems. As of March 31, 1999 the Managing Agent has
evaluated approximately 86% of the operating equipment for the Year 2000
compliance.
The total cost incurred for all properties managed by the Managing Agent as of
March 31, 1999 to replace or repair the operating equipment was approximately
$400,000. The Managing Agent estimates the cost to replace or repair any
remaining operating equipment is approximately $325,000, which is expected to be
completed by August 30, 1999.
The Managing Agent continues to have "awareness campaigns" throughout the
organization designed to raise awareness and report any possible compliance
issues regarding operating equipment within its enterprise.
Nature and Level of Importance of Third Parties and Their Exposure to the Year
2000
The Managing Agent continues to conduct surveys of its banking and other vendor
relationships to assess risks regarding their Year 2000 readiness. The Managing
Agent has banking relationships with three major financial institutions, all of
which have indicated their compliance efforts will be complete before May 1999.
The Managing Agent has updated data transmission standards with two of the three
financial institutions. The Managing Agent's contingency plan in this regard is
to move accounts from any institution that cannot be certified Year 2000
compliant by June 1, 1999.
The Partnership does not rely heavily on any single vendor for goods and
services, and does not have significant suppliers and subcontractors who share
information systems (external agent). To date the Partnership is not aware of
any external agent with a Year 2000 compliance issue that would materially
impact the Partnership's results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.
However, the Partnership has no means of ensuring that external agents will be
Year 2000 compliant.
The Managing Agent does not believe that the inability of external agents to
complete their Year 2000 remediation process in a timely manner will have a
material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the
Partnership. However, the effect of non-compliance by external agents is not
readily determinable.
Costs to Address Year 2000
The total cost of the Year 2000 project to the Managing Agent is estimated at
$3.5 million and is being funded from operating cash flows. To date, the
Managing Agent has incurred approximately $2.8 million ($0.6 million expensed
and $2.2 million capitalized for new systems and equipment) related to all
phases of the Year 2000 project. Of the total remaining project costs,
approximately $0.5 million is attributable to the purchase of new software and
operating equipment, which will be capitalized. The remaining $0.2 million
relates to repair of hardware and software and will be expensed as incurred.
The Partnership's portion of these costs are not material.
Risks Associated with the Year 2000
The Managing Agent believes it has an effective program in place to resolve the
Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. As noted above, the Managing Agent has not
yet completed all necessary phases of the Year 2000 program. In the event that
the Managing Agent does not complete any additional phases, certain worst case
scenarios could occur. The worst case scenarios could include elevators,
security and heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems that read
incorrect dates and operate with incorrect schedules (e.g., elevators will
operate on Monday as if it were Sunday). Although such a change would be
annoying to residents, it is not business critical.
In addition, disruptions in the economy generally resulting from Year 2000
issues could also adversely affect the Partnership. The Partnership could be
subject to litigation for, among other things, computer system failures,
equipment shutdowns or failure to properly date business records. The amount of
potential liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time.
Contingency Plans Associated with the Year 2000
The Managing Agent has contingency plans for certain critical applications and
is working on such plans for others. These contingency plans involve, among
other actions, manual workarounds and selecting new relationships for such
activities as banking relationships and elevator operating systems.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others,
the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated
partnerships and corporate entities. The complaint purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal
defendants, challenging the acquisition by Insignia and entities which were, at
the time, affiliates of Insignia ("Insignia Affiliates") of interests in certain
general partner entities, past tender offers by Insignia Affiliates as well as a
recently announced agreement between Insignia and AIMCO. The complaint seeks
monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the
Partnership. On June 25, 1998, the Managing General Partner filed a motion
seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the
plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint. The Managing General Partner has
filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard during February 1999.
No ruling on such demurrers has been received. The Managing General Partner
does not anticipate that costs associated with this case, if any, will be
material to the Partnership's overall operations.
