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 and nine month periods ended September
30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2000. 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, 1999.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Partnership's 100% membership
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 inter-entity
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 has had or 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 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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:
2000 1999
(in thousands)
Property management fees (included in operating
expenses) $131 $124
Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included
in investment properties and general and
administrative expenses) 88 67
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, affiliates of the
Managing General Partner were entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from both
of the Registrant's properties as compensation for providing property management
services. The Registrant paid to such affiliates approximately $131,000 and
$124,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
An affiliate of the Managing General Partner received reimbursement of
accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $88,000 and
$67,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
The Partnership is liable to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner
through common ownership for real estate commissions in the amounts of
approximately $125,000 for Revere Village and approximately $196,000 for Essex
which were sold in previous years. The total amount of approximately $321,000 is
included on the consolidated balance sheet as "Due to affiliate". Payment of the
commissions will not be made to the affiliate until the limited partners have
received distributions 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.
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the
Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 296.85 limited partnership
units in the Partnership representing 39.50% of the outstanding units. 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 make one or more
additional offers to acquire additional limited partnership interests in the
Partnership for cash or in exchange for units in the operating partnership of
AIMCO. Under the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the
Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters, which
would include without limitation, voting on certain amendments to the
Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. When
voting on matters, AIMCO would in all likelihood vote the Units it acquired in a
manner favorable to the interest of the Managing General Partner because of
their affiliation with the Managing General Partner.
Note D - Distributions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership paid
distributions of approximately $430,000 (approximately $411,000 to the limited
partners or $546.84 per limited partnership unit) of which approximately $49,000
($65.19 per limited partnership unit) represented a portion of the previously
undistributed net proceeds from the mortgage refinancing of Ashley Woods during
1997 which was paid entirely to the limited partners and approximately $381,000
(approximately $362,000 to the limited partners or $481.65 per limited
partnership unit) was paid from operations. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the Partnership did not pay any distributions to its
partners. Distributions may be restricted by the requirements to deposit net
operating income (as defined in the mortgage note) into the Reserve Account
until the Reserve Account is funded in an amount equal to $400 to $1,000 per
apartment unit for Versailles on the Lake Apartments for a total of $62,400 to
$156,000. As of September 30, 2000 the Partnership had deposits of approximately
$112,000 in the Reserve Account.
Note E - Segment Reporting
Description of the types of products and services from which the reportable
segment derives its revenues: The Partnership has one reportable segment:
residential properties. The Partnership's residential property segment consists
of two apartment complexes, one located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the other
located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Partnership rents apartment units to tenants
for terms that are typically twelve months or less.
Measurement of segment profit or loss: The Partnership evaluates performance
based on segment profit (loss) before depreciation. 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, 1999.
Factors management used to identify the enterprise's reportable segments: 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 and nine month periods ended September 30,
2000 and 1999 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 F - 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, its Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated
partnerships and corporate entities. The action 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 of interests in certain general partner
entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and entities which were, at one time,
affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire
limited partnership units; the management of partnerships by the Insignia
affiliates; and the Insignia Merger. The plaintiffs seek 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 filed demurrers to the amended
complaint which were heard February 1999.
Pending the ruling on such demurrers, settlement negotiations commenced. On
November 2, 1999, the parties executed and filed a Stipulation of Settlement,
settling claims, subject to final court approval, on behalf of the Partnership
and all limited partners who owned units as of November 3, 1999. Preliminary
approval of the settlement was obtained on November 3, 1999 from the Court, at
which time the Court set a final approval hearing for December 10, 1999. Prior
to the December 10, 1999 hearing, the Court received various objections to the
settlement, including a challenge to the Court's preliminary approval based upon
the alleged lack of authority of prior lead counsel to enter the settlement. On
December 14, 1999, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates terminated
the proposed settlement. In February 2000, counsel for some of the named
plaintiffs filed a motion to disqualify plaintiff's lead and liaison counsel who
negotiated the settlement. On June 27, 2000, the Court entered an order
disqualifying them from the case. The Court is considering applications for lead
counsel and has currently scheduled a hearing on the matter for November 20,
2000. The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that costs associated
with this case 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.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATION
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 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 nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:
Average Occupancy
2000 1999
Ashley Woods Apartments
Cincinnati, Ohio 94% 93%
Versailles on the Lake Apartments
Fort Wayne, Indiana 96% 91%
The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Versailles
on the Lake Apartments to improvements at the property to improve the curb
appeal such as entryway improvements and playground updates, and increased
marketing and advertising efforts.
Results of Operations
The Partnership realized net income of approximately $14,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to net income of approximately $16,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The Partnership realized a net loss of
approximately $49,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2000
compared to net income of approximately $51,000 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1999. Net income remained stable for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999
primarily due to an increase in total revenues which was offset by an increase
in total expenses. The decrease in net income for the three month period ended
September 30, 2000 is primarily due to an increase in total expenses which was
partially offset by an increase in total revenues. Total revenues increased for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 primarily due to an
increase in rental income slightly offset by a decrease in other income. Rental
income increased primarily due to increased occupancy and increased average
rental rates at both of the Partnership's properties as well as decreased
concessions at Ashley Woods Apartments. Other income decreased primarily due to
a decrease in cleaning and damage fees at Ashley Woods Apartments and laundry
income at both of the Partnership's properties, partially offset by increased
interest income due to increases in the average cash balances held in
interest-bearing accounts.
Total expenses increased for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2000 due primarily to increased depreciation, operating, and general and
administrative expenses. Depreciation expense increased due to property
improvements and replacements completed during the past twelve months that are
now being depreciated. Operating expenses increased primarily due to an increase
in utility expenses at Ashley Woods Apartments and an increase in salary
expenses at both of the Partnership's properties. General and administrative
expenses increased due primarily to an increase in the cost of services included
in the management reimbursements to the Managing General Partner as allowed
under the Partnership Agreement and an increase in professional fees associated
with the administration of the Partnership. Included in general and
administrative expenses at both September 30, 2000 and 1999, 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 both 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 September 30, 2000, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $413,000 compared to approximately $893,000 at September 30, 1999.
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $268,000 since the
Partnership's year ended December 31, 1999 is due to approximately $434,000 of
cash used in investing activities and approximately $559,000 of cash used in
financing activities which was partially offset by approximately $725,000 of
cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing activities
consisted of property improvements and replacements slightly offset by net
receipts from escrow accounts maintained by the mortgage lenders. Cash used in
financing activities consisted primarily of distributions to partners, and to a
lesser extent, payments of principal made on the mortgages encumbering the
Registrant's properties. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in
money market accounts.
The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical
assets and other operating needs of the 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 nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership completed
approximately $319,000 of budgeted and nonbudgeted capital improvements at the
property, consisting primarily of electrical upgrades, lighting upgrades,
cabinets, structural improvements, carpet and vinyl replacement, parking area
improvements, and appliances. These improvements were funded from the
Partnership's operating cash flow and reserves. The Partnership evaluated the
capital improvement needs of the property for the year 2000. The amount budgeted
was approximately $266,000, consisting primarily of electrical upgrades, air
conditioning unit replacement, roof replacement, appliances, carpet
replacements, plumbing upgrades, and structural improvements. Additional
improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the
property as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by
the property.
Versailles on the Lake
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership completed
approximately $144,000 of capital improvements at the property, consisting
primarily of carpet and vinyl replacement, appliances, major landscaping, and
structural improvements. These improvements were funded from the Partnership's
operating cash flow. The Partnership evaluated the capital improvement needs of
the property for the year 2000. The amount budgeted is approximately $178,000,
consisting primarily of appliances, carpet replacements, interior painting,
parking lot improvements, and interior decorating. Additional improvements may
be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well
as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property.
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 $10,099,000, 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 dates. If the properties cannot be
refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Registrant will risk losing such
properties through foreclosure.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 the Partnership paid
distributions of approximately $430,000 (approximately $411,000 to the limited
partners or $546.84 per limited partnership unit) of which approximately $49,000
($65.19 per limited partnership unit) represented a portion of the previously
undistributed net proceeds from the mortgage refinancing of Ashley Woods during
1997 which was paid entirely to the limited partners and approximately $381,000
(approximately $362,000 to the limited partners or $481.65 per limited
partnership unit) was paid from operations. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the Partnership did not pay any distributions to its
partners. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash
generated from operations, the availability of cash reserves and the timing of
debt maturities, refinancings, and/or property sales. The Partnership's
distribution policy is 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 additional distributions to its
partners during the remainder of 2000 or subsequent periods. Distributions may
be restricted by the requirements to deposit net operating income (as defined in
the mortgage note) into the Reserve Account until the Reserve Account is funded
in an amount equal to $400 to $1,000 per apartment unit for Versailles on the
Lake Apartments for a total of $62,400 to $156,000. As of September 30, 2000 the
Partnership had deposits of approximately $112,000 in the Reserve Account.

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,
