PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

       Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a Maryland corporation formed on January 10, 1994, is a self-administered and self-managed REIT engaged in the ownership, acquisition, development, expansion and management of multi-family apartment properties. As of December 31, 1999, we owned or managed 363,462 apartment units in 1,942 properties located in 48 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Based on apartment unit data compiled by the National Multi Housing Council, we believe that, as of December 31, 1999, we were the largest owner and manager of multifamily apartment properties in the United States. As of December 31, 1999, we:

 

       - owned or controlled 106,148 units in 373 apartment properties;

 

       - held an equity interest in 133,113 units in 751 apartment properties; and

 

       - managed 124,201 units in 818 apartment properties for third party owners

         and affiliates.

 

       We conduct substantially all of our operations through our operating partnership, AIMCO Properties, L.P. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we act as the sole general partner of the AIMCO operating partnership. As of December 31, 1999, we owned approximately a 91% interest in the AIMCO operating partnership. We manage apartment properties for third parties and affiliates through unconsolidated subsidiaries that we refer to as the "management companies." Generally, when we refer to "we," "us" or the "Company" in this annual report on Form 10-K, we are referring to AIMCO, the AIMCO operating partnership, the management companies and their respective subsidiaries. We refer to interests in the AIMCO operating partnership that are held by third parties as "OP Units."

 

       The Company's principal executive offices are located at 2000 South Colorado Blvd., Tower Two, Suite 2-1000, Denver, Colorado 80222-7900 and its telephone number is (303) 757-8101.

 

1999 DEVELOPMENTS

 

  Individual Property Acquisitions

 

       The Company directly acquired 28 apartment communities in unrelated transactions during 1999 (not including those acquired in connection with the merger with Insignia Properties Trust, "IPT"). The aggregate consideration paid by the Company of $495.0 million consisted of $91.5 million in cash, 2.4 million Preferred OP Units, 0.9 million common OP Units and 0.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock with a total recorded value of $116.8 million, assumption of $110.1 million of secured long-term indebtedness, the assumption of $15.2 million of other liabilities, and new financing of $161.4 million of secured long-term indebtedness. The Company has budgeted an additional $23.9 million for initial capital enhancements related to these properties.

 

  Tender Offers

 

       During 1999, the Company made separate offers to the limited partners of approximately 600 partnerships to acquire their limited partnership interests. The Company paid approximately $271 million in cash and OP Units to acquire limited partnership interests pursuant to the offers.

 

  Property Dispositions

 

       In 1999, the Company sold 63 properties for an aggregate sales price of approximately $426.0 million. Net cash proceeds to the Company from the sales of $135.8 million were used to repay a portion of the Company's outstanding short-term indebtedness. The results of operations of 55 of these properties were accounted for by the Company under the equity method.

  Debt Assumptions and Financings

 

       In August 1999, the Company closed a $300 million revolving credit facility arranged by Bank of America, N.A. BankBoston, N.A. and First Union National Bank and comprised of a total of nine lender participants. The obligations under the new credit facility are secured by certain non-real estate assets of the Company. The existing lines of credit were terminated. The credit facility is used for general corporate purposes and has a two-year term with two one-year extensions. The annual interest rate under the new credit facility is based on either LIBOR or a base rate which is the higher of Bank of America's reference rate or 0.5% over the federal funds rate, plus, in either case, an applicable margin. The margin ranges between 2.05% and 2.55%, in the case of LIBOR-based loans, and between 0.55% and 1.05%, in the case of base rate loans, based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 1999 was 8.84%. The amount available under the credit facility at December 31, 1999 was $90.8 million.

 

       During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company issued $410.3 million of long-term fixed rate, fully amortizing non-recourse mortgage notes payable with a weighted average interest rate of 7.3%. Each of the notes is individually secured by one of forty properties with no cross-collateralization. The Company used the net proceeds after transaction costs of $373.6 million to repay existing debt. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company has also assumed $110.1 million of long-term fixed rate, fully amortizing notes payables with a weighted average interest rate of 7.9% in connection with the acquisition of properties. Each of the notes is individually secured by one of thirteen properties with no cross-collateralization.

 

  Equity Offerings

 

       In 1999, the Company raised proceeds of $304.6 million in one public offering and two direct placements of equity securities (excluding equity issued in connection with the completion of the IPT merger discussed below and in connection with the purchase of real estate and limited partnership interests). These transactions are summarized below:

     preference), or (ii) the cash dividends payable on the number of shares of

     Class A Common Stock into which a share of Class L Preferred Stock is

     convertible.

  Insignia Properties Trust Merger

 

       As a result of the Insignia merger on October 1, 1998, AIMCO acquired approximately 51% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of IPT. On February 26, 1999, IPT was merged into AIMCO. Pursuant to the merger, each of the outstanding shares of IPT that were not held by AIMCO were converted into the right to receive 0.3601 shares of AIMCO Class A Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of approximately 4.3 million shares of AIMCO Class A Common Stock (valued at approximately $158.8 million).

 

  Pending Acquisitions

 

       In the ordinary course of business, the Company engages in discussions and negotiations regarding the acquisition of apartment properties (including interests in entities that own apartment properties). The Company frequently enters into contracts and non-binding letters of intent with respect to the purchase of properties. These contracts are typically subject to certain conditions and permit the Company to terminate the contract in its sole and absolute discretion if it is not satisfied with the results of its due diligence investigation of the properties. The Company believes that such contracts essentially result in the creation of an option on the subject properties and give the Company greater flexibility in seeking to acquire properties. As of February 29, 2000, the Company had under contract or letter of intent an aggregate of 10 multi-family apartment properties with a maximum aggregate purchase price of $107.6 million, including estimated capital improvements, which, in some cases, may be paid in the form of assumption of existing debt. All such contracts are subject to termination by the Company as described above. No assurance can be given that any of these possible acquisitions will be completed or, if completed, that they will be accretive on a per share basis.

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

 

       The Company operates in one industry segment, the ownership and management of real estate properties. See the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for financial information relating to the Company.

 

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

 

       The Company strives to meet its objective of providing long-term, predictable funds from operations ("FFO") per share of Class A Common Stock, less an allowance for Capital Replacements of $300 per apartment unit, by implementing its operating and financing strategies which include the following:

 

       - Acquisition of Properties at Less Than Replacement Cost. AIMCO attempts

         to acquire properties at a significant discount to their replacement

         cost.

 

       - Geographic Diversification. AIMCO operates in 48 states, the District of

         Columbia and Puerto Rico. This geographic diversification insulates the

         Company, to some degree, from inevitable downturns in any one market.

         AIMCO's net income before depreciation and interest expense is earned in

         more than 175 local markets. In 1999, the largest single market

         contributed 7% to net income before depreciation and interest expense,

         and the five largest markets contributed 32%.

 

       - Market Growth. The Company seeks to operate in markets where population

         and employment growth are expected to exceed the national average and

         where it believes it can become a regionally significant owner or manager

         of properties. For the period from 1997 through 2000, annual population

         and employment growth rates in AIMCO's five largest regional markets are

         forecasted to be 2.2% and 3.6%, respectively.

 

       - Product Diversification. The Company's portfolio of apartment properties

         spans a wide range of apartment community types, both within and among

         markets, including garden and high-rise apartments, as well as corporate

         and student housing.

 

4


 

       - Capital Replacement. AIMCO believes that the physical condition and

         amenities of its apartment communities are important factors in its

         ability to maintain and increase rental rates. The Company allocates

         approximately $300 annually per owned apartment unit for capital

         replacements, and reserves unexpended amounts for future capital

         replacements.

 

       - Debt Financing. AIMCO's strategy is generally to incur debt to increase

         its return on equity while maintaining acceptable interest coverage

         ratios. AIMCO seeks to maintain a ratio of free cash flow to combined

         interest expense and preferred stock dividends of between 2:1 and 3:1,

         and a ratio of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and

         amortization (with certain adjustments and after a provision of

         approximately $300 per owned apartment unit) to debt service of at least

         2:1, and to match debt maturities to the character of the assets

         financed. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company was within

         these targets. The Company uses predominantly long-term, fixed-rate and

         self-amortizing non-recourse debt in order to avoid the refunding or

         repricing risks of short-term borrowings. The Company uses short-term

         debt financing to fund acquisitions and generally expects to refinance

         such borrowings with proceeds from equity offerings or long-term debt

         financings. As of December 31, 1999, approximately 9% of AIMCO's

         outstanding debt was short-term debt and 91% was long-term debt.

 

       - Dispositions. The Company regularly sells properties that do not meet its

         return on investment criteria or that are located in areas where AIMCO

         does not believe that the long-term neighborhood values justify the

         continued investment in the properties.

 

       - Dividend Policy. AIMCO pays dividends on its Class A Common Stock to

         share its profitability with its stockholders. The Company distributed

         61.3%, 65.8% and 66.5% of FFO to holders of Class A Common Stock for the

         years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. It is the

         present policy of the Board of Directors to increase the dividend

         annually in an amount equal to one-half of the projected increase in FFO,

         adjusted for capital replacements, subject to minimum distribution

         requirements to maintain its REIT status.

 

GROWTH STRATEGIES

 

       The Company seeks growth through two primary sources -- internal expansion and acquisitions.

 

  Internal Growth Strategies.

 

       The Company pursues internal growth primarily through the following strategies:

 

       - Revenue Increases. The Company increases rents where feasible and seeks

         to improve occupancy rates.

 

       - Controlling Expenses. Cost reductions are accomplished by local focus on

         the regional operating center level and by exploiting economies of scale.

         As a result of the size of its portfolio and its creation of regional

         concentrations of properties, the Company has the ability to leverage

         fixed costs for general and administrative expenditures and certain

         operating functions, such as insurance, information technology and

         training, over a large property base.

 

       - Redevelopment of Properties. The Company believes redevelopment of

         selected properties in superior locations provides advantages over

         development of new properties. AIMCO believes that redevelopment

         generally allows the Company to maintain rents comparable to new

         properties and, compared to development of new properties, can be

         accomplished with relatively lower financial risk, in less time and with

         reduced delays due to governmental regulation.

 

       - Expansion of Properties. The Company believes that expansion within or

         adjacent to properties already owned or managed by the Company also

         provides growth opportunities at lower risk than new development. Such

         expansion can offer cost advantages to the extent common area amenities

         and on-site management personnel can service the property expansions.

         AIMCO's current policy is to limit redevelopments and expansions to 10%

         of total equity market capitalization.

 

5


 

       - Ancillary Services. The Company believes that its ownership and

         management of properties provides it with unique access to a customer

         base that allows us to provide additional services and thereby increase

         occupancy, increase rents and generate incremental revenue. The Company

         currently provides cable television, telephone services, appliance

         rental, and carport, garage and storage space rental at certain

         properties.

 

  Acquisition Strategies.

 

       The Company believes its acquisition strategies will increase profitability and predictability of earnings by increasing its geographic diversification, economies of scale and opportunities to provide ancillary services to tenants at its properties. Since AIMCO's initial public offering in July 1994, the Company has completed numerous acquisition and management transactions, expanding its portfolio of owned or managed properties from 132 apartment properties with 29,343 units to 1,942 apartment properties with 363,462 units as of December 31, 1999. The Company acquires additional properties primarily in three ways:

 

       - Direct Acquisitions. AIMCO may directly, including through mergers and

         other business combinations, acquire individual properties or portfolios

         of properties and controlling interests in entities that own or control

         such properties or portfolios. To date, a significant portion of AIMCO's

         growth has resulted from the acquisition of other companies that owned or

         controlled properties.

 

       - Acquisition of Managed Properties. AIMCO believes that its property

         management operations support its acquisition activities. Since AIMCO's

         initial public offering, the Company has acquired from its managed

         portfolio 16 properties comprising 5,697 units for total consideration of

         $189.9 million.

 

       - Increasing its Interest in Partnerships. For properties where AIMCO owns

         a general partnership interest in the property-owning partnership, the

         Company may seek to acquire, subject to its fiduciary duties, the

         interests in the partnership held by third parties for cash or, in some

         cases, in exchange for OP Units. AIMCO has completed tender offers with

         respect to approximately 1,000 partnerships and has purchased additional

         interests in such partnerships for cash and for OP Units.

 

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

 

       AIMCO seeks to improve the operating results from its property management business by, among other methods, combining centralized financial control and uniform operating procedures with localized property management decision-making and market knowledge. AIMCO's management operations are organized into 31 regional operating centers. Each of the regional operating centers is supervised by a Regional Vice-President.

 

TAXATION OF THE COMPANY

 

       The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994, and the Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. The Company's current and continuing qualification as a REIT depends on its ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership.

 

       If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it will generally not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its net income that is currently distributed to stockholders. This treatment substantially eliminates the "double taxation" (at the corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from investment in a corporation. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, its taxable income will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax). Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local income taxes and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

 

       If in any taxable year the Company fails to qualify as a REIT and incurs additional tax liability, the Company may need to borrow funds or liquidate certain investments in order to pay the applicable tax and the

6


 

Company would not be compelled to make distributions under the Code. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the Company would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost. Although the Company currently intends to operate in a manner designed to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT or may cause the Board of Directors to revoke the REIT election.

 

       The Company and its stockholders may be subject to state or local taxation in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which it or they transact business or reside. The state and local tax treatment of the Company and its stockholders may not conform to the U.S. federal income tax treatment.

 

COMPETITION

 

       There are numerous housing alternatives that compete with the Company's properties in attracting residents. The Company's properties compete directly with other multi-family rental apartments and single family homes that are available for rent or purchase in the markets in which the Company's properties are located. The Company's properties also compete for residents with new and existing and condominiums. The number of competitive properties in a particular area could have a material effect on the Company's ability to lease apartment units at its properties and on the rents charged. The Company competes with numerous real estate companies in acquiring, developing and managing multi-family apartment properties and seeking tenants to occupy its properties. In addition, the Company competes with numerous property management companies in the markets where the properties managed by the Company are located.

 

REGULATION

 

  General

 

       Multifamily apartment properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to recreational facilities such as swimming pools, activity centers and other common areas. Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions, as well as changes in laws affecting development, construction and safety requirements, may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which would adversely affect the Company's cash flows from operating activities. In addition, future enactment of rent control or rent stabilization laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing may reduce rental revenue or increase operating costs in particular markets.

 

  Laws Benefiting Disabled Persons

 

       Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. These requirements became effective in 1992. A number of additional Federal, state and local laws may also require modifications to the Company's properties, or restrict certain further renovations of the properties, with respect to access thereto by disabled persons. For example, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the handicapped. 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 Company believes that its properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, it may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with these laws.

 

  Regulation of Affordable Housing

 

       As of December 31, 1999, the Company owned or controlled 27 properties and held an equity interest in 434 properties with a combined weighted average ownership percentage of 24%. AIMCO also managed for third parties and affiliates 477 properties that benefit from governmental programs intended to provide housing to people with low or moderate incomes. These programs, which are usually administered by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") or state housing finance agencies, typically

 

7


 

provide mortgage insurance, favorable financing terms or rental assistance payments to the property owners. As a condition to the receipt of assistance under these programs, the properties must comply with various requirements, which typically limit rents to pre-approved amounts. If permitted rents on a property are insufficient to cover costs, a sale of the property may become necessary, which could result in a loss of management fee revenue. The Company must obtain the approval of HUD in order to manage, or acquire a significant interest in, a HUD-assisted or HUD-insured property. This approval process is commonly referred to as "2530 Clearance." The Company had three unresolved flags in the 2530 system as of December 31, 1999, which the Company believes will not have a material effect on its ability to receive 2530 approval. The Company can make no assurance, however, that it will always receive such approval.

 

  Environmental

 

       The Company is subject to various Federal, state and local laws that impose liability on property owners or operators for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to properly remediate, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at contaminated apartment communities and our ability to sell or borrow against contaminated properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by governmental agencies, the presence of hazardous wastes on a property could result in personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs. The Company also is subject to various laws that impose liability for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at a disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic 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 our properties, we could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our properties or properties we may acquire or manage in the future.

 

INSURANCE

 

       Management believes that the Company's properties are covered by adequate fire, flood and property insurance provided by reputable companies and with commercially reasonable deductibles and limits.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

       The Company has a staff of employees performing various acquisition, redevelopment and management functions. The Company, through the AIMCO operating partnership and the management companies, has approximately 12,500 employees, most of whom are employed at the property level. None of the employees are represented by a union, and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage. The Company believes it maintains satisfactory relations with its employees.

       At December 31, 1999, the Company owned or controlled 373 properties containing 106,148 units. These owned or controlled properties contain, on average, 285 apartment units, with the largest property containing 2,113 apartment units. These properties offer residents a range of amenities, including swimming pools,

9


 

clubhouses, spas, fitness centers, tennis courts and saunas. Many of the apartment units offer design and appliance features such as vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, washer and dryer hook-ups, cable television, balconies and patios. In addition, at December 31, 1999, the Company held an equity interest in 751 properties containing 133,113 units, and managed 818 other properties containing 124,201 units. The Company's total portfolio of 1,942 properties contain, on average, 187 apartment units, with the largest property containing 2,907 apartment units.

 

       Substantially all of the properties owned or controlled by the Company are encumbered by mortgage indebtedness or serve as collateral for the Company's indebtedness. At December 31, 1999, the Company had aggregate mortgage indebtedness totaling $2,375.1 million, which was secured by 361 properties with a combined net book value of $4,028.8 million, having an aggregate weighted average interest rate of 6.66%. As of December 31, 1999, approximately 9% of AIMCO's outstanding debt was short-term debt and 91% was long-term debt. See the financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about the Company's indebtedness.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

  General

 

       The Company is a party to various legal actions resulting from its operating activities. These actions are routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by liability issuance, and none of which are expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

 

  Limited Partnerships

 

       In connection with the Company's offers to purchase interests in limited partnerships that own properties, the Company and its affiliates are sometimes subject to legal actions, including allegations that such activities may involve breaches of fiduciary duties to the limited partners of such partnerships or violations of the relevant partnership agreements. The Company believes it complies with its fiduciary obligations and relevant partnership agreements, and does not expect such legal actions to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Company may incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of such litigation, which could adversely affect the Company's desire or ability to complete certain transactions and thereby have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

  Pending Investigations of HUD Management Arrangements

 

       In 1997, NHP received subpoenas from the HUD Inspector General ("IG") requesting documents relating to arrangements whereby NHP or any of its affiliates provides compensation to owners of HUD-assisted or HUD-insured multi-family projects in exchange for or in connection with property management of a HUD project. In July 1999, NHP received a grand jury subpoena requesting documents relating to the same subject matter as the HUD IG subpoenas and NHP's operation of a group purchasing program created by NHP, known as Buyers Access. To date, neither the HUD IG nor the grand jury has initiated any action against NHP or AIMCO or, to NHP's or AIMCO's knowledge, any owner of a HUD property managed by NHP. AIMCO believes that NHP's operations and programs are in compliance, in all material respects, with all laws, rules and regulations relating to HUD-assisted or HUD-insured properties. AIMCO is cooperating with the investigations and does not believe that the investigations will result in a material adverse impact on its operations. However, as with any similar investigation, there can be no assurance that these will not result in material fines, penalties or other costs.

(1) On January 19, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash

     dividend of $0.70 per share of Class A Common Stock, paid on February 11,

     2000 to stockholders of record on February 4, 2000.

 

       On March 8, 2000, there were 67,109,473 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, held by 2,627 stockholders of record.

 

       AIMCO, as a REIT, is required to distribute annually to holders of common stock at least 95% of its "real estate investment trust taxable income," which, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulations, is generally equivalent to net taxable ordinary income. AIMCO measures its economic profitability and intends to pay regular dividends to its stockholders based on FFO during the relevant period. However, the future payment of dividends by AIMCO will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on numerous factors including AIMCO's financial condition, its capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to REITs and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

 

       From time to time, AIMCO issues shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for OP Units tendered to the AIMCO operating partnership for redemption in accordance with the terms and provisions of the agreement of limited partnership of the AIMCO operating partnership. Such shares are issued based on an exchange ratio of one share for each OP Unit. The shares are issued in exchange for OP Units in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. During 1999, a total of 963,951 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued in exchange for OP Units.

 

       On September 15, 1999, AIMCO completed a direct placement of 1,382,580 shares of Class A Common Stock at a net price of $39.50 per share to five institutional investors. The net proceeds of approximately $54.6 million were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Company's credit facility.

 

11


 

       During 1999, the Company repurchased 205,300 shares of Class A Common Stock at a net price of $8.0 million.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

OVERVIEW

 

       The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Report, the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders and other filings (collectively "SEC Filings") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (as well as information communicated orally or in writing between the dates of such SEC Filings) contains or may contain information that is forward looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of acquisitions, the Company's future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation, national and local economic conditions, the general level of interest rates, terms of governmental regulations that affect the Company and interpretations of those regulations, the competitive environment in which the Company operates, financing risks, including the risk that the Company's cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets, acquisition and development risks, including failure of such acquisitions to perform in accordance with projections, and possible environmental liabilities, including costs which may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by the Company. In addition, the Company's continued qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Readers should carefully review the Company's financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the SEC Filings.

 

       The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements incorporated by reference in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion of results of operations is based on net income calculated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company, however, considers funds from operations, less a reserve for capital replacements, to be a more meaningful measure of economic performance.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

  Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1999 to the Year Ended December 31,   1998

 

       NET INCOME

 

       The Company recognized net income of $81.0 million, and net income attributable to common stockholders of $24.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to net income and net income attributable to common stockholders of $64.5 million and $37.9 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1998. Net income attributable to common stockholders represents net income less dividends on preferred stock.

 

       The increase in net income of $16.5 million, or 25.6%, was primarily the result of the following:

 

       - the increase in net "same store" property results;

 

       - the acquisition of 22,459 units in 82 apartment communities during 1998;

 

       - the acquisition of 12,721 units in 28 apartment communities during 1999;

 

       - the acquisition of Ambassador Apartments, Inc. in May 1998 which impacted

         the second half of 1998;

 

       - the acquisition of the Insignia Multi-family Business in October 1998

         which primarily impacted 1999;

 

       - the completion of the Insignia Properties Trust Merger in February 1999;

 

       - the purchase of $271 million in limited partnership interests from

         unaffiliated third parties; and

 

       - an increase in interest income on notes receivable from unconsolidated

         real estate partnerships.

 

13


 

       The effect of the above on net income was partially offset by the sale of eight properties in 1999 and five properties in 1998. These factors are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs.

 

  Rental Property Operations

 

       The increases in rental property operations resulted primarily from improved same store sales results, acquisitions of properties in 1998 and 1999, and through the purchase of limited partnership interests from unaffiliated third parties which gave the Company a controlling interest in partnerships owning 125 properties in 1999.

 

       Rental and other property revenues from the Company's owned and controlled properties totaled $533.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $377.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $156.8 million, or 41.6%.

 

       Property operating expenses totaled $214.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $147.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $67.2 million, or 45.6%. Property operating expenses consist of on-site payroll costs, utilities (net of reimbursements received from tenants), contract services, turnover costs, repairs and maintenance, advertising and marketing, property taxes and insurance.

 

       Owned property management expenses, representing the costs of managing the Company's owned or controlled properties, totaled $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $4.4 million, or 40.0%.

 

  Service Company Business

 

       Income from the service company business was $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $10.9 million or 153.5%. The increase was primarily due to management contracts acquired in the Insignia and IPT mergers that are held by the Company, as well as the transfer of majority-owned management contracts from the unconsolidated management companies to the AIMCO operating partnership. When the Company owns at least a 40% interest in a real estate partnership, the management contract with that real estate partnership is assigned to the AIMCO operating partnership increasing the amount of revenues recognized by the consolidated service company operations.

 

  General and Administrative Expenses

 

       General and administrative expenses totaled $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 3.7%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to efforts to align expenses with the revenues they help generate. The results of these efforts increased the amount of expenses allocated to both consolidated and unconsolidated service company management expenses.

 

  Interest Expense

 

       Interest expense, which includes the amortization of deferred finance costs, totaled $140.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $89.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $50.7 million or 56.7%. The increase was primarily due to interest expense incurred in connection with 1999 and 1998 acquisitions, as well as the consolidation of an additional 125 properties when control was obtained.

 

  Interest Income

 

       Interest income totaled $62.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $33.3 million or 113.3%. The Company holds investments in notes receivable which were either extended by the Company and are carried at the face amount plus accrued interest ("par value notes") or were made by predecessors whose positions have been acquired by the Company at a discount and are carried at the acquisition amount using the cost recovery

method ("discounted notes"). $32.5 million of the increase in interest income is due to the recognition of interest income that had previously been deferred and portions of the related discounts for certain discounted notes. Based upon closed or pending transactions, market conditions, and improved operations of the obligor, the collectibility of such notes is now believed to be probable and the amounts and timing of collections are estimable. The remaining increase is primarily related to other recurring interest earned on both the par value and discounted notes made by the Company to partnerships in which the Company acts as the general partner and interest earned on notes receivable acquired in the mergers with Insignia and IPT.

 

  Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1998 to the Year Ended December 31,   1997

 

       NET INCOME

 

       The Company recognized net income of $64.5 million, and net income attributable to common stockholders of $37.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to net income and net income attributable to common stockholders of $28.6 million and $26.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1997. Net income attributable to common stockholders represents net income less dividends on preferred stock.

 

       The increase in net income of $35.9 million, or 125.5%, was primarily the result of the following:

 

       - the increase in net "same store" property results;

 

       - the acquisition of 11,706 units in 44 apartment communities during 1997;

 

       - the acquisition of 22,459 units in 82 apartment communities during 1998;

 

       - the acquisition of NHP Incorporated ("NHP") in December 1997 which

         impacted operations in 1998;

 

       - the acquisition of Ambassador Apartments, Inc. in May 1998 which impacted

         the second half of 1998;

 

       - the acquisition of the Insignia Multi-family Business in October 1998

         which impacted the last quarter of 1998; and

 

       - an increase in interest income on notes receivable from unconsolidated

         real estate partnerships.

 

       The effect of the above on net income was partially offset by the sale of five properties in 1998 and five properties in 1997. These factors are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs.

 

  Rental Property Operations

 

       The increases in rental property operations resulted primarily from improved same store sale results, acquisitions of properties in 1997 and 1998, and acquisitions of controlling interests in properties through the NHP, Ambassador and Insignia mergers.

 

       Rental and other property revenues from the Company's owned and controlled properties totaled $377.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $193.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $184.1 million, or 95.4%.

 

       Property operating expenses totaled $147.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $76.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $71.3 million, or 93.6%. Property operating expenses consist of on-site payroll costs, utilities (net of reimbursements received from tenants), contract services, turnover costs, repairs and maintenance, advertising and marketing, property taxes and insurance.

 

       Owned property management expenses, representing the costs of managing the Company's owned or controlled properties, totaled $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $4.4 million, or 66.7%.

 

  Service Company Business

 

       Income from the service company business was $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $4.1 million or 136.7%. The increase was primarily due to management contracts acquired in the Insignia merger that are held by the

 

15


 

Company, as well as the transfer of majority-owned management contracts from the management companies to the AIMCO operating partnership. When the Company owns at least a 40% interest in a real estate partnership, the management contract with that real estate partnership is assigned to the AIMCO operating partnership increasing the amount of revenues recognized by the consolidated service company operations.

 

  General and Administrative Expenses

 

       General and administrative expenses totaled $13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $8.2 million, or 151.9%. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to additional corporate costs and additional employee salaries associated with the purchase of NHP Real Estate Companies in June 1997 and the mergers with NHP Incorporated in December 1997, Ambassador Apartments, Inc. in May 1998 and Insignia Financial Group, Inc. in October 1998. In addition, due to the growth of the Company, several new departments have been added including legal, tax and Limited Partnership administration, as well as increased levels of personnel in the accounting and finance departments.

 

  Interest Expense

 

       Interest expense, which includes the amortization of deferred finance costs, totaled $89.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $51.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $38.0 million or 73.9%. The increase was primarily due to interest expense incurred in connection with the acquisition of interests in Ambassador Apartments, Inc. and Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and interest expense incurred in connection with 1998 and 1997 acquisitions.

 

  Interest Income

 

       Interest income totaled $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase is primarily due to interest earned on the increased average outstanding balances of notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships and subsidiaries.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

       At December 31, 1999, the Company had $101.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $84.6 million of restricted cash, primarily consisting of reserves and impounds held by lenders for capital expenditures, property taxes and insurance. In addition, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held by partnerships and subsidiaries which are not presented on a consolidated basis. The Company's principal demands for liquidity include normal operating activities, payments of principal and interest on outstanding debt, capital improvements, acquisitions of and investments in properties, dividends paid to stockholders and distributions paid to limited partners. The Company considers its cash provided by operating activities to be adequate to meet short-term liquidity demands.

 

       In August 1999, the Company closed a $300 million revolving credit facility arranged by Bank of America, N.A. BankBoston, N.A. and First Union National Bank and comprised of a total of nine lender participants. The obligations under the credit facility are secured by certain non-real estate assets of the Company. The existing lines of credit were terminated. The credit facility is used for general corporate purposes and has a two-year term with two one-year extensions. The annual interest rate under the credit facility is based on either LIBOR or a base rate which is the higher of Bank of America's reference rate or 0.5% over the federal funds rate, plus, in either case, an applicable margin. The margin ranges between 2.05% and 2.55%, in the case of LIBOR-based loans, and between 0.55% and 1.05%, in the case of base rate loans, based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 1999 was 8.84%. The amount available under the credit facility at December 31, 1999 was $90.8 million.

 

       As of December 31, 1999, 96.8% of the Company's owned or controlled properties and 45.4% of its total assets were encumbered by debt. The Company had total outstanding indebtedness of $2,584.3 million, of which $2,375.1 million was secured by properties. The Company's indebtedness is comprised of $1,954.3 million of secured long-term financing, $420.8 million of secured tax-exempt bond financing and $209.2 in

16


 

unsecured short-term financing. As of December 31, 1999, approximately 9% of the Company's indebtedness bears interest at variable rates. General Motors Acceptance Corporation has made 113 loans (the "GMAC Loans") to property owning partnerships of the Company, each of which is secured by the property owned by such partnership. The 113 GMAC Loans had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $570.1 million as of December 31, 1999. Certain GMAC Loans are cross-collateralized with certain other GMAC Loans. Other than certain GMAC Loans, none of the Company's debt is subject to cross-collateralization provisions. The weighted average interest rate on the Company's secured, long-term notes payable was 6.66% with a weighted average maturity of 12.8 years as of December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1999, the weighted average interest rate on the Company's unsecured short-term financing was 8.84%.

 

       During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company issued $410.3 million of long-term fixed rate, fully amortizing notes payable with a weighted average interest rate of 7.3%. Each of the notes is individually secured by one of forty properties with no cross-collateralization. The Company used the net proceeds after transaction costs of $373.6 million to repay existing debt. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company has also assumed $110.1 million of long-term fixed rate, fully amortizing notes payable with a weighted average interest rate of 7.9% in connection with the acquisition of properties. Each of the notes is individually secured by one of thirteen properties with no cross-collateralization.

 

       The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements, such as refinancing debt and property acquisitions, through long-term borrowings, both secured and unsecured, the issuance of debt or equity securities (including OP Units) and cash generated from operations. In August 1998, AIMCO and the AIMCO operating partnership filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") with respect to an aggregate of $1,268 million of debt and equity securities of AIMCO (of which $268 million was carried forward from AIMCO's 1997 shelf registration statement) and $500 million of debt securities of the AIMCO operating partnership. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on December 10, 1998. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had $1,088 million available and the AIMCO operating partnership had $500 million available from this registration statement. The Company expects to finance acquisition of real estate interests with cash from operations or the issuance of equity securities and debt.

 

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

 

       For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company spent a total of $291.7 million for capital expenditures on its portfolio of assets. The Company's share of those expenditures for its conventional assets are as follows: $38.4 million for capital replacements (expenditures for routine maintenance of a property); $54.8 million for Initial Capital Expenditures ("ICE", expenditures at a property that have been identified, at the time the property is acquired, as expenditures to be incurred within one year of the acquisition); and $43.3 million for construction and capital enhancements (amenities that add a material new feature or revenue source at a property). The expenditures for capital replacements in 1999 exceeded the provision of $300 per apartment provided for by the Company by $9.7 million which represents unspent capital replacements and ICE from prior years. These expenditures were funded by net cash provided by operating activities, working capital reserves, and borrowings under the Company's credit facility. ICE and capital enhancements will primarily be funded by cash from operating activities and borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

 

       The Company measures its economic profitability based on funds from operations ("FFO"), less a reserve for capital replacements of $300 per apartment unit. The Company's management believes that FFO, less such a reserve, provides investors with an understanding of the Company's ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. The Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains and losses from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company calculates FFO based on the NAREIT definition, as adjusted for minority interest in the AIMCO operating partnership, amortization, the non-cash deferred portion of the income tax provision for unconsolidated subsidiaries and less the payment of dividends on preferred stock. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of the Company's performance or as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company's basis for computing FFO is comparable with that of other real estate investment trusts.

       For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company's FFO is calculated as follows (amounts in thousands):

CONTRIBUTION TO FREE CASH FLOW

 

       The Company seeks to improve funds from operations, less a reserve for capital replacements, on a per share basis. In this regard, in addition to the year-to-year comparative discussion, the Company has provided disclosure (see Footnote 23 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) on the contribution (separated between consolidated and unconsolidated activity) to the Company's free cash flow from several components of the Company and a reconciliation of free cash flow to FFO, less a reserve for capital replacements, and to net income for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company defines free cash flow as FFO, less a reserve for capital replacements, plus interest expense and preferred stock dividends.

 

       The contributors to the Company's free cash flow of $528 million were real estate -- $421 million (80%), service businesses -- $51 million (10%), recurring interest income -- $32 million (6%) and transactions (fees and recovery of loan discounts) -- $37 million (7%), less general and administrative expenses -- $13 million (3%).

 

       Expenses to arrive at FFO, less a reserve for capital replacements, were interest expense -- $201 million, and preferred stock and preferred OP unit dividends -- $34 million. This results in FFO, less a reserve for capital replacements, of $293 million of which $180 million (62%) is from consolidated activities and $113 million (38%) is from unconsolidated activities.

 

       The real estate free cash flow contribution of $443 million before a $22 million minority interest deduction is concentrated in conventional apartment properties, which comprise $389 million or 88% of the real estate free cash flow contribution. Conventional apartments with rents of $500 per month or higher comprise $332 million or 85% of the real estate free cash flow contribution from conventional units. Conventional apartments with rents of $600 per month or higher comprise $222 million or 57% of the real estate free cash flow contribution from conventional units. Overall, the Company has balanced contributions to conventional real estate free cash flow from monthly rents of less than $500 per unit to monthly rents greater than $800 per unit.

19


 

       Contributions to conventional real estate free cash flow for 1999 were as follows:

 

 

                                                               TOTAL     CONTR. %

                                                              --------   --------

Average monthly rent greater than $800 per unit.............  $ 78,100      21%

Average monthly rent $700 to $800 per unit..................    57,627      15%

Average monthly rent $600 to $700 per unit..................    86,133      22%

Average monthly rent $500 to $600 per unit..................   110,499      28%

Average monthly rent $500 per unit..........................    56,385      14%

                                                              --------     ---

                                                              $388,744     100%

                                                              ========     ===

 

       The service businesses contributed $51 million (10%) to free cash flow. The service businesses provide management services to properties and partnerships and includes Buyers Access, the nation's largest group purchasing organization serving the apartment industry. Management contracts contribute $47 million (92%) to the service businesses contribution. $36 million (75%) of the management contract contribution is derived from properties the Company controls through economic ownership or its general partner position. $10 million (22%) of the management contract contribution is from long-term management contracts. Less than $1 million is contributed from short-term third party management contracts (30 day cancelable). Buyer's Access contributed $3 million or 6% to the service businesses contribution.

 

       The Company received recurring interest income from par value notes and other receivables and interest bearing accounts of $32 million (50% of total interest income in 1999). In addition, the Company has realized interest income from recoveries of notes receivable that were acquired at a discount to actual face value. As the Company improved property operations, some of these notes have become collectible. In 1999, the Company recognized $32 million (50% of total interest income) in recoveries from notes purchased at a discount.

 

       Fees contributed $5 million (1%) to free cash flow contribution. Fees are earned in partnership sales and financing transactions. The Company considers fees and interest income from notes purchased at a discount as transactional. Together, the transactional contribution was $37 million (7%) of free cash flows contribution.

 

       Footnote 23 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provides additional detail on each component of free cash flow. We believe this disclosure is complementary to the previous year-to-year results of operations comparisons.

 

CONTINGENCIES

 

  Pending Investigations of HUD Management Arrangements

 

       In 1997, NHP received subpoenas from the HUD Inspector General ("IG") requesting documents relating to arrangements whereby NHP or any of its affiliates provides compensation to owners of HUD-assisted or HUD-insured multi-family projects in exchange for or in connection with property management of a HUD project. In July 1999, NHP received a grand jury subpoena requesting documents relating to the same subject matter as the HUD IG subpoenas and NHP's operation of a group purchasing program created by NHP, known as Buyers Access. To date, neither the HUD IG nor the grand jury has initiated any action against NHP or AIMCO or, to NHP's or AIMCO's knowledge, any owner of a HUD property managed by NHP. AIMCO believes that NHP's operations and programs are in compliance, in all material respects, with all laws, rules and regulations relating to HUD-assisted or HUD-insured properties. AIMCO is cooperating with the investigations and does not believe that the investigations will result in a material adverse impact on its operations. However, as with any similar investigation, there can be no assurance that these will not result in material fines, penalties or other costs.

 

INFLATION

 

       Substantially all of the leases at the Company's apartment properties are for a period of twelve months or less, allowing, at the time of renewal, for adjustments in the rental rate and the opportunity to re-lease the apartment unit at the prevailing market rate. The short term nature of these leases generally serves to

 

20


 

minimize the risk to the Company of the adverse effect of inflation and the Company does not believe that inflation has had a material adverse impact on its revenues.

 

ITEM 7a. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

       The Company's primary market risk exposure relates to changes in interest rates. The Company is not subject to any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk, or any other material market rate or price risks. The Company uses predominantly long-term, fixed-rate and self-amortizing non-recourse mortgage debt in order to avoid the refunding or repricing risks of short-term borrowings. The Company uses short-term debt financing and working capital primarily to fund acquisitions and generally expects to refinance such borrowings with proceeds from operating activities, equity offerings or long-term debt financings.

 

       The Company had $240.9 million of variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 1999, which represents 9% of the Company's total outstanding debt. Based on this level of debt, an increase in interest rates of 1% would result in the Company's income and cash flows being reduced by $2.4 million on an annual basis. At December 31, 1999, the Company had $2,343.4 million of fixed rate debt outstanding. The partnership debt secured by individual properties in an aggregate amount of $51.8 million, $92.7 million, $66.9 million, $139.7 million and $205.7 million will mature in the years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

 

       The estimated aggregate fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and short-term unsecured debt as of December 31, 1999 is assumed to approximate their carrying value due to their relatively short terms. Management further believes that the fair market value of the Company's secured tax-exempt bond debt and secured long-term debt approximates their carrying value, based on market comparisons to similar types of debt instruments having similar maturities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

Stockholders and Board of Directors

Apartment Investment and Management Company

 

       We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Apartment Investment and Management Company as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

 

       We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

       In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Apartment Investment and Management Company at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects the information set forth therein.
