PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
(a) General Development of Business
AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-D, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership, (the
"Partnership") was organized as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts
Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Uniform Act") on May 30, 1991 for the
purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified portfolio of
capital equipment. Partners' capital initially consisted of contributions of
$1,000 from the General Partner (AFG Leasing VI Incorporated) and $100 from the
Initial Limited Partner (AFG Assignor Corporation). On August 30, 1991, the
Partnership issued 829,521.30 units of limited partnership interest (the
"Units") to 1,234 investors. Included in the 829,521.30 units are 1,572.30 bonus
units. The Partnership has one General Partner, AFG Leasing VI Incorporated, a
Massachusetts corporation formed in 1990 and an affiliate of Equis Financial
Group Limited Partnership (formerly known as American Finance Group), a
Massachusetts limited partnership ("EFG" or the "Manager"). The General Partner
is not required to make any other capital contributions except as may be
required under the Uniform Act and Section 6.1(b) of the Amended and Restated
Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Restated Agreement, as
amended").
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments
The Partnership is engaged in only one operating industry segment:
financial services. Historically, the Partnership has acquired capital equipment
and leased the equipment to creditworthy lessees on a full payout or operating
lease basis. Full payout leases are those in which aggregate undiscounted
noncancellable rents equal or exceed the acquisition cost of the leased
equipment. Operating leases are those in which the aggregate undiscounted
noncancellable rental payments are less than the acquisition cost of the leased
equipment. In the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership also entered
into a sales-type lease, described in Note 2 to the financial statements
included in Item 14 herein. Industry segment data is not applicable.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" incorporated herein by reference to the 2000 Annual
Report.
In connection with a preliminary settlement agreement for a Class Action
Lawsuit described in Note 10 to the financial statements, included in Item 14
herein, the court permitted the Partnership to invest in any new investment,
including but not limited to new equipment or other business activities, subject
to certain limitations. On March 8, 2000, the Partnership loaned $3,050,000 to a
newly formed real estate company, Echelon Residential Holdings LLC ("Echelon
Residential Holdings") to finance the acquisition of real estate assets by that
company. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly owned subsidiary
("Echelon Residential LLC"), used the loan proceeds, along with the loan
proceeds from similar loans by ten affiliated partnerships representing $32
million in the aggregate, to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon
International Corporation, an independent Florida-based real estate company.
Echelon Residential Holding's interest in Echelon Residential LLC is pledged
pursuant to a pledge agreement to the partnerships as collateral for the loans.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
The Partnership was organized to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital
equipment subject to various full payout and operating leases and to lease the
equipment to third parties as income-producing investments. More specifically,
the Partnership's primary investment objectives were to acquire and lease
equipment that would:
1. Generate quarterly cash distributions;
2. Preserve and protect Partnership capital; and
3. Maintain substantial residual value for ultimate sale.
The Partnership has the additional objective of providing certain federal
income tax benefits.
The Closing Date of the offering of Units of the Partnership was August 30,
1991. Significant operations commenced coincident with the Partnership's initial
purchase of equipment and the associated lease commitments on August 30, 1991.
The acquisition of the equipment and its associated leases is described in Note
3 to the financial statements included in Item 14, herein. The Restated
Agreement, as amended, provides
3
that the Partnership will terminate no later than December 31, 2002. However,
the Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit, the outcome of
which could significantly alter the nature of the Partnership's organization and
its future business operations. The General Partner does not expect that the
Partnership will be dissolved until such time that the Class Action Lawsuit is
settled or adjudicated.
The Partnership has no employees; however, it is managed pursuant to a
Management Agreement with EFG or one of its affiliates. The Manager's role,
among other things, is to (i) evaluate, select, negotiate, and consummate the
acquisition of equipment, (ii) manage the leasing, re-leasing, financing, and
refinancing of equipment, and (iii) arrange the resale of equipment. The Manager
is compensated for such services as provided for in the Restated Agreement, as
amended, described in Item 13 herein, and in Note 7 to the financial statements
included in Item 14, herein.
The Partnership's investment in equipment is, and will continue to be,
subject to various risks, including physical deterioration, technological
obsolescence, credit quality and defaults by lessees. A principal business risk
of owning and leasing equipment is the possibility that aggregate lease revenues
and equipment sale proceeds will be insufficient to provide an acceptable rate
of return on invested capital after payment of all debt service costs and
operating expenses. Another risk is that the credit quality of the lease may
deteriorate after a lease is made. In addition, the leasing industry is very
competitive. The Partnership is subject to considerable competition when
re-leasing or selling equipment at the expiration of its lease terms. The
Partnership must compete with lease programs offered directly by manufacturers
and other equipment leasing companies, many of which have greater resources,
including limited partnerships and trusts organized and managed similarly to the
Partnership and including other EFG sponsored partnerships and trusts, which may
seek to re-lease or sell equipment within their own portfolios to the same
customers as the Partnership. In addition, default by a lessee under a lease may
cause equipment to be returned to the Partnership at a time when the General
Partner or the Manager is unable to arrange for the re-lease or sale of such
equipment. This could result in the loss of anticipated revenue.
The Partnership holds a note receivable from and common stock in Semele
Group Inc. ("Semele"). The note receivable is subject to a number of risks
including, Semele's ability to make loan payments which is dependent upon the
liquidity of Semele and primarily Semele's ability to sell or refinance its
principal real estate asset consisting of an undeveloped 274-acre parcel of land
near Malibu, California. The market value of the Partnership's investment in
Semele common stock has generally declined since the Partnership's initial
investment in 1997. In 1998, the General Partner determined that the decline in
market value of the stock was other-than-temporary and wrote down the
Partnership's investment. Subsequently, the market value of the Semele common
stock has fluctuated. The market value of the stock could decline in the future.
Gary D. Engle, President and Chief Executive Officer of EFG, the sole
shareholder of the General Partner, is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Semele and James A. Coyne, Executive Vice President of EFG, is Semele's
President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Engle and Mr. Coyne are both members
of the Board of Directors of, and own significant stock in, Semele.
The loan made by the Partnership to Echelon Residential Holdings is, and
will continue to be, subject to various risks, including the risk of default by
Echelon Residential Holdings, which could require the Partnership to foreclose
under the pledge agreement on its interests in Echelon Residential LLC. The
ability of Echelon Residential Holdings to make loan payments and the amount the
Partnership may realize after a default would be dependent upon the risks
generally associated with the real estate lending business including, without
limitation, the existence of senior financing or other liens on the properties,
general or local economic conditions, property values, the sale of properties,
interest rates, real estate taxes, other operating expenses, the supply and
demand for properties involved, zoning and environmental laws and regulations,
rent control laws and other governmental rules. A default by Echelon Residential
Holdings could have a material adverse effect on the future cash flow and
operating results of the Partnership.
The Restated Agreement, as amended, prohibits the Partnership from making
loans to the General Partner or its affiliates. Since the acquisition of the
several parcels of real estate from the owner had to occur prior to the
admission of certain independent third parties as equity owners, Echelon
Residential Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary, Echelon Residential LLC,
were formed in anticipation of their admission. The General Partner agreed to an
officer of the Manager serving as the initial equity holder of Echelon
Residential Holdings and as an unpaid manager. The officer made a $185,465
equity investment in Echelon Residential Holdings. His return on his equity
investment is restricted to the same rate of return as the partnerships realize
on their loans. There is a risk that the court may object to the general
partner's action in structuring the loan in this way and may require the
partnerships to restructure or divest the loan.
4
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") places restrictions on the
capital structure and business activities of companies registered thereunder.
The Partnership has active business operations in the financial services
industry, including equipment leasing, the loan to Echelon Residential Holdings
and its ownership of securities of Semele. The Partnership does not intend to
engage in investment activities in a manner or to an extent that would require
the Partnership to register as an investment company under the Act. However, it
is possible that the Partnership may unintentionally engage in an activity or
activities that may be construed to fall within the scope of the Act. If the
Partnership were to be determined to be an investment company, its business
would be adversely affected. If necessary, the Partnership intends to avoid
being deemed an investment company by disposing of or acquiring certain assets
that it might not otherwise dispose of or acquire.
Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of
lease revenue during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is
incorporated herein by reference to Note 2 to the financial statements included
in Item 14. Refer to Item 14(a)(3) for lease agreements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
EFG is a Massachusetts limited partnership formerly known as American
Finance Group ("AFG"). AFG was established in 1988 as a Massachusetts general
partnership and succeeded American Finance Group, Inc., a Massachusetts
corporation organized in 1980. EFG and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") are engaged in various aspects of the equipment leasing business,
including EFG's role as Manager or Advisor to the Partnership and several other
direct-participation equipment leasing programs sponsored or co-sponsored by EFG
(the "Other Investment Programs"). The Company arranges to broker or originate
equipment leases, acts as remarketing agent and asset manager, and provides
leasing support services, such as billing, collecting, and asset tracking.
The general partner of EFG, with a 1% controlling interest, is Equis
Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation owned and controlled entirely by Gary
D. Engle, its President, Chief Executive Officer and sole Director. Equis
Corporation also owns a controlling 1% general partner interest in EFG's 99%
limited partner, GDE Acquisition Limited Partnership ("GDE LP"). Mr. Engle
established Equis Corporation and GDE LP in December 1994 for the sole purpose
of acquiring the business of AFG.
In January 1996, the Company sold certain assets of AFG relating primarily
to the business of originating new leases, and the name "American Finance
Group," and its acronym, to a third party. AFG changed its name to Equis
Financial Group Limited Partnership after the sale was concluded. Pursuant to
terms of the sale agreements, EFG specifically reserved the rights to continue
using the name American Finance Group and its acronym in connection with the
Partnership and the Other Investment Programs and to continue managing all
assets owned by the Partnership and the Other Investment Programs.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S SECURITIES AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER
MATTERS.
(a) Market Information
There is no public market for the resale of the Units and it is not
anticipated that a public market for resale of the Units will develop.
(b) Approximate Number of Security Holders
At December 31, 2000, there were 1,188 record holders in the Partnership.
(c) Dividend History and Restrictions
Historically, the amount of cash distributions to be paid to the Partners
had been determined on a quarterly basis. Each quarter's distribution may have
varied in amount and was made 95% to the Limited Partners and 5% to the General
Partner. Generally, cash distributions were paid within 15 days after the
completion of each calendar quarter.
The Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit described
in Note 10 to the financial statements included in Item 14, herein. The proposed
settlement to that lawsuit, if effected, will materially change the future
organizational structure and business interests of the Partnership, as well as
its cash distribution policies. In addition, commencing with the first quarter
of 2000, the General Partner suspended the payment of quarterly cash
distributions pending final resolution of the Class Action Lawsuit. Accordingly,
future cash distributions are not expected to be paid until the Class Action
Lawsuit is settled or adjudicated.
In any given year, it is possible that Limited Partners will be allocated
taxable income in excess of distributed cash. This discrepancy between tax
obligations and cash distributions may or may not continue in the future, and
cash may or may not be available for distribution to the Limited Partners
adequate to cover any tax obligation.
Distributions declared in 2000 and 1999 were as follows:
GENERAL LIMITED
TOTAL PARTNER PARTNERS
-------- -------- --------
Total 2000 distributions declared .... $ -- $ -- $ --
Total 1999 distributions declared .... 654,886 32,744 622,142
-------- -------- --------
Total .... $654,886 $ 32,744 $622,142
======== ======== ========
There are no formal restrictions under the Restated Agreement, as amended,
that materially limit the Partnership's ability to pay cash distributions,
except that the General Partner may suspend or limit cash distributions to
ensure that the Partnership maintains sufficient working capital reserves to
cover, among other things, operating costs and potential expenditures, such as
refurbishment costs to remarket equipment upon lease expiration. In addition to
the need for funds in connection with the Class Action Lawsuit, liquidity is
especially important as the Partnership matures and sells equipment, because the
remaining equipment base consists of fewer revenue-producing assets that are
available to cover prospective cash disbursements. Insufficient liquidity could
inhibit the Partnership's ability to sustain its operations or maximize the
realization of proceeds from remarketing its remaining assets.
In particular, the Partnership must contemplate the potential liquidity
risks associated with its investment in commercial jet aircraft. The management
and remarketing of aircraft can involve, among other things, significant costs
and lengthy remarketing initiatives. Although the Partnership's lessees are
required to maintain the aircraft during the period of lease contract, repair,
maintenance, and/or refurbishment costs at lease expiration can be substantial.
For example, an aircraft that is returned to the Partnership meeting minimum
airworthiness standards, such as flight hours or engine cycles, nonetheless may
require heavy maintenance in order to bring its engines, airframe and other
hardware up to standards that will permit its prospective use in commercial air
transportation.
6
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included
ownership interests in four commercial jet aircraft, one of which is a Boeing
737 aircraft. The Boeing 737 aircraft is a Stage 2 aircraft, meaning that it is
prohibited from operating in the United States unless it is retro-fitted with
hush-kits to meet Stage 3 noise regulations promulgated by the Federal Aviation
Administration. During 2000, the aircraft was re-leased to Air Slovakia BWJ,
Ltd., through September 2003. The remaining three aircraft in the Partnership's
portfolio are Stage 3 compliant and have lease terms expiring in April 2001,
January 2003, and September 2004, respectively.
In October 2000, the Partnership and certain of its affiliates executed a
conditional sales agreement with Royal Aviation Inc. for the sale of the
Partnership's interest in a Boeing 737-2H4 aircraft. The sale of the aircraft
has been recorded by the Partnership as a sales-type lease, with a lease term
expiring in January 2002. The title to the aircraft transfers to Royal Aviation
Inc. at the expiration of the lease term.
Cash distributions consist of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings.
"Distributable Cash From Operations" means the net cash provided by the
Partnership's normal operations after general expenses and current liabilities
of the Partnership are paid, reduced by any reserves for working capital and
contingent liabilities to be funded from such cash, to the extent deemed
reasonable by the General Partner, and increased by any portion of such reserves
deemed by the General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations and
reduced by all accrued and unpaid Equipment Management Fees and, after Payout,
further reduced by all accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees.
Distributable Cash From Operations does not include any Distributable Cash From
Sales or Refinancings.
"Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means Cash From Sales or
Refinancings as reduced by (i)(a) amounts realized from any loss or destruction
of equipment which the General Partner determines shall be reinvested in similar
equipment for the remainder of the original lease term of the lost or destroyed
equipment, or in isolated instances, in other equipment, if the General Partner
determines that investment of such proceeds will significantly improve the
diversity of the Partnership's equipment portfolio, and subject in either case
to satisfaction of all existing indebtedness secured by such equipment to the
extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the General Partner, or (b) the
proceeds from the sale of an interest in equipment pursuant to any agreement
governing a joint venture which the General Partner determines will be invested
in additional equipment or interests in equipment and which ultimately are so
reinvested and (ii) any accrued and unpaid Equipment Management Fees and, after
Payout, any accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees.
"Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means cash received by the Partnership
from sale or refinancing transactions, as reduced by (i)(a) all debts and
liabilities of the Partnership required to be paid as a result of sale or
refinancing transactions, whether or not then due and payable (including any
liabilities on an item of equipment sold which are not assumed by the buyer and
any remarketing fees required to be paid to persons not affiliated with the
General Partner, but not including any Subordinated Remarketing Fees whether or
not then due and payable) and (b) general expenses and current liabilities from
the Partnership (other than any portion of the Equipment Management Fee which is
required to be accrued and the Subordinated Remarketing Fee) and (c) any
reserves for working capital and contingent liabilities funded from such cash to
the extent deemed reasonable by the General Partner and (ii) increased by any
portion of such reserves deemed by the General Partner not to be required for
Partnership operations. In the event the Partnership accepts a note in
connection with any sale or refinancing transaction, all payments subsequently
received in cash by the Partnership with respect to such note shall be included
in Cash From Sales or Refinancings, regardless of the treatment of such payments
by the Partnership for tax or accounting purposes. If the Partnership receives
purchase money obligations in payment for equipment sold, which are secured by
liens on such equipment, the amount of such obligations shall not be included in
Cash From Sales or Refinancings until the obligations are fully satisfied.
"Payout" is defined as the first time when the aggregate amount of all
distributions to the Limited Partners of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings equals the aggregate amount of the
Limited Partners' original capital contributions plus a cumulative annual
distribution of 11% (compounded quarterly and calculated beginning with the last
day of the month of the Partnership's Closing Date) on their aggregate
unreturned capital contributions. For purposes of this definition, capital
contributions shall be deemed to have been returned only to the extent that
distributions of cash to the Limited Partners exceed the amount required to
satisfy the cumulative annual distribution of 11% (compounded quarterly) on the
Limited Partners' aggregate unreturned capital contributions, such calculation
to be based on the aggregate unreturned capital contributions outstanding on the
first day of each fiscal quarter.

All equipment was purchased from EFG, one of its affiliates or from
third-party sellers. The Partnership's acquisition cost was determined by the
method described in Note 2 to the financial statements included in Item 14,
herein.
As a result of an exchange in 1997, the Partnership is the beneficial owner
of 40,797 shares of Semele common stock and holds a beneficial interest in a
note from Semele (the "Semele Note") of $898,405. The Semele Note matures in
April 2003 and bears an annual interest rate of 10% with mandatory principal
reductions prior to maturity, if and to the extent that net proceeds are
received by Semele from the sale or refinancing of its principal real estate
asset consisting of an undeveloped 274-acre parcel of land near Malibu,
California. For further discussion, see Note 6, "Investment Securities -
Affiliate and Note Receivable - Affiliate to the financial statements included
in Item 14 herein and Item 10.
All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to
either EFG or to a lender. EFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership was owed $111,179 by EFG for such funds
and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Members of
Echelon Residential Holdings LLC:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Echelon
Residential Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("the Company")
as of December 31, 2000 and the related consolidated statement of operations,
members' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the period March 8, 2000 (date
of inception) through December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period March
8, 2000 (date of inception) through December 31, 2000 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERIOD MARCH 8, 2000 (DATE OF INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BACKGROUND - On March 7, 2000, EIN Acquisition Corporation ("EIN
Acquisition") closed on a Tender Offer ("Tender Offer") for all of the
outstanding shares of Echelon International Corporation ("Echelon") for a
cash price of $34.00 per share. Immediately after the close of the Tender
Offer, EIN Acquisition merged into Echelon (the "Merger"), with Echelon
being the surviving entity.
In conjunction with the Tender Offer, Echelon had entered into various
contracts to sell or convey various real estate assets and investments in
two real estate joint ventures to third parties. Subsequent to the Merger
on March 8, 2000, Echelon closed on existing contracts to sell or convey
its real estate assets and investments in two real estate joint ventures.
Specific real estate assets and investments in two real estate joint
ventures were sold to Echelon Residential LLC ("Echelon Residential"), a
wholly owned limited liability subsidiary of Echelon Residential Holdings
LLC ("Echelon Residential Holdings" or the "Company"). Echelon Residential
will own, manage, and develop or sell these purchased multi-family
residential properties.
The acquisition of the assets by Echelon Residential was accounted for as
an asset purchase under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 ("APB
No. 16"). In accordance with APB No. 16, Echelon Residential allocated the
total purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
on the estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. Since the
purchase price of the business was less than the fair market value of the
net assets acquired, the credit excess was allocated on a pro-rata basis
to the real estate, corporate equipment and the investment in an
unconsolidated joint venture. There are no contingencies or other matters
that could materially affect the allocation of the purchase cost. The
results of operations of the acquired real estate assets and investments
in two real estate joint ventures are included in the consolidated results
of Echelon Residential Holdings from the acquisition date.
The Company's summarized consolidated balance sheet, reflecting the above
acquisition of assets, as of March 8, 2000 is as follows:
ASSETS:
Real estate $34,164,672
Cash and cash equivalents 7,919,247
Investment in unconsolidated joint venture 1,211,929
Other assets 832,417

Total assets $44,128,265

LIABILITIES AND MEMBERS' EQUITY:
Accounts payable and other liabilities $ 6,883,424
Construction loans 251,975

Minority interest 2,527,750
Members' equity 195,226
-----------
Total liabilities and members' equity $44,128,265

The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - Echelon Residential Holdings was formed on
February 29, 2000, under the laws of the state of Delaware and operates in
one industry segment: owning, leasing, developing, and managing real
estate. There were no activities of Echelon Residential Holdings from
February 29, 2000 through March 8, 2000. The Company is governed by its
Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement ("the Agreement")
dated June 23, 2000. At March 8, 2000, members' equity included capital
contributions from the initial members of the Company, James A. Coyne and
Charles E. Cobb, Jr. ("Initial Members"), who made collective capital
contributions of $195,226. On June 23, 2000, the participating members,
Darryl A. LeClair and Susan G. Johnson ("Participating Members") made
capital contributions totaling $2,651,162. The collective Participating
Members' capital contributions are comprised of Participating A Capital of
$2,591,093, Participating B Capital of $45,052 and additional capital
contributions of $15,017.
Subsequent to the initial capital contributions above, the Agreement was
executed and includes a provision whereby the members have no further
obligation to contribute additional amounts of capital to the Company. If
the Company requires additional funds, the Board of Managers is to notify
the members. Each member has the right to contribute a pro rata share of
such additional funds, based on the relative equity contributions made by
each member. In addition, the liability of the members of the Company is
limited to the members' total capital contributions.
In accordance with the Agreement, the Participating Members earn a
cumulative compounding annual return on their unreturned capital (as
defined), at a per annum rate equal to 14% for Participating A capital and
15% for Participating B capital, commencing on June 23, 2000. Preferred
returns will be paid to the Participating Members in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement. Payout of preferred returns (if any) is contingent
upon the cumulative performance of the Company. See Note 9 - COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES.
Per the Agreement, the Company is to distribute its cash flow (if any)
periodically, but not less frequently than quarterly. The losses and
profits of the Company are generally allocated to the members as follows:
a) losses are generally allocable 77.9% to members other than
Participating Members and 22.1% to Participating Members, and
b) profits are generally allocated the same way except for a
priority income allocation to the Participating Members to
cover priority cash distributions made on their Participating
Capital.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Echelon Residential Holdings, its
wholly owned subsidiary and a 60% interest in a joint venture. All
intercompany balances have been eliminated. Investments for which the
Company has a 20% to 50% ownership interest are accounted for using the
equity method.
The Company has recorded a minority interest in the Company's consolidated
financial statements to reflect the ownership of its partner in the joint
venture.
ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the
recoverability of real estate held for sale.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities
of three months or less.
- 7 -
RESTRICTED CASH - Restricted cash represents security deposits at
multi-family residential communities held in separate noninterest-bearing
depository accounts.
RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS - Restricted investments represent certificates of
deposit with maturities greater than three months. These investments are
held by financial institutions that require such deposits in support of
standby letters of credit.
REAL ESTATE - Real estate additions are recorded at cost. Interest and
real estate taxes incurred during construction periods are capitalized and
depreciated on the same basis as the related assets. Costs directly
related to the acquisition, development or improvement of real estate, and
certain indirect development costs have also been capitalized.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
lives of the assets as follows:
ESTIMATED
USEFUL LIVES
Buildings 35 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 3-10 years
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The carrying value of long-lived assets,
including property and equipment, will be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value cannot
be recovered from undiscounted future cash flows.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of real
estate properties when title has passed to the buyer and all contingencies
have been removed. Rental revenues, management fees and developer fees are
recognized when earned.
INCOME TAXES - Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and
applicable state laws, the Company is not directly subject to income
taxes; the results of its operations are included in the tax returns of
its members.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging
activities. Under SFAS No. 133, certain contracts that were not formerly
considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. There was no
impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
liquidity resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 133.
Effective March 8, 2000 (date of inception), the Company adopted the
provisions of Securities Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 101"). SAB
No. 101 provides guidance for the recognition, presentation and disclosure
of revenue in financial statements. The adoption of SAB No. 101 had no
