General
Resource Real Estate Investors 6, L.P.
is a Delaware limited partnership which was formed on July 26, 2007 and
commenced operations on October 1, 2007. We own in fee, operate and
invest in multifamily residential rental properties, which we refer to as the
Properties, located in both Maine and Texas. We also invest in
subordinated notes secured by multifamily residential rental properties located
in California, Alabama and Nevada, which we refer to as Real Estate Debt
Investments. We refer to the Properties and Real Estate Debt
Investments collectively as Real Estate Investments.
Our general partner, Resource Capital
Partners, Inc., or the General Partner, is in the business of sponsoring and
managing real estate investment limited partnerships and tenant in common
programs, or TICs. Our General Partner operates and manages our Real
Estate Investments on our behalf, and is responsible for evaluating, obtaining
financing and refinancing for, and selling our Real Estate Investments on our
behalf. Our General Partner is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
Resource America, Inc., or Resource America, a publicly traded company (NASDAQ:
REXI) operating in the real estate, commercial finance and financial fund
management sectors.
Our goals are to generate regular cash
distributions from our operations, gains from the potential appreciation in the
value of our Properties, and cash for our partners’ distributions from the sale
or refinancing of the Properties or the sale or repayment in full of our Real
Estate Debt Investments.
We will
terminate on July 30, 2015, unless we are sooner dissolved or
terminated. Our General Partner from time to time, in its discretion,
may extend the term for up to an aggregate of two years. Our General
Partner will have complete and exclusive discretion in the management of our
business.
Our
Management
As we do not have any officers,
directors or employees, we rely solely on the officers and employees of our
General Partner and its affiliates for the management of our Real Estate
Investments. Our General Partner and its affiliates, Resource Real
Estate Management, LLC and Resource Real Estate, Inc., also conduct business
activities of their own in which we will have no economic
interest. Employees of our General Partner and its affiliates who
provide us with services are not required to work full-time on our
affairs. These employees devote significant time to the affairs of
our General Partner and its affiliates and are compensated by our General
Partner and its affiliates for the services rendered to them. There
may be significant conflicts between us and our General Partner and its
affiliates regarding the availability of those employees to manage us and our
Real Estate Investments.
Real
Estate Manager
Resource Real Estate Management, LLC,
or Resource Real Estate Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of our General
Partner, manages or supervises the management of our Real Estate Investments
under a real estate management agreement with us or the entity owning legal
title to the Real Estate Investment in which we are
participating. Resource Real Estate Management is a Delaware limited
liability company that was formed in 2005 for the purpose of managing the real
estate investments of our General Partner and its affiliates either for their
own account or for other real estate programs. In October of 2007,
Resource Real Estate Management, Inc., d/b/a Resource Residential, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Resource America, was formed to manage the real estate
investments of Resource Real Estate Management.
Resource Real Estate, Inc., or Resource
Real Estate, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, is the
parent company of our General Partner and an affiliate of Resource Real Estate
Management, which will also manage our Real Estate Investments.

capital transactions, will be distributed as described
below. Distributable cash from operations will be distributed in the
following order of priority:
|
·
|
first,
100% to the limited partners until they have each received distributions
from us, including distributions of distributable cash from capital
transactions, equal to their respective preferred return of 8.25% if they
subscribed for their units on or before December 31, 2007 or 8% if they
subscribed for their units after December 31, 2007, or Preferred Return;
and

Redemption
of Units
We are permitted, in our General
Partner’s sole discretion, to redeem units upon a unitholder’s
request. However, we have no obligation to redeem units at any time,
and we can decline to redeem units for any reason. For example, if our General
Partner determines that we do not have the necessary cash flow, taking into
account future distributions to our other limited partners, investments, and
foreseeable operating expenses, a unitholder’s request may be declined. In
addition, our General Partner may not approve the redemption of units if it
concludes that the redemption might cause our total unit transfers in the year,
subject to certain exceptions, to exceed 2% of our total capital or profits
interests. All of these determinations are subjective and will be made in our
General Partner’s sole discretion. We will also determine the
redemption price based on provisions set forth in the First Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership, or the Partnership Agreement. To the extent
the formula for arriving at the redemption price has any subjective
determinations, they will fall within the sole discretion of our General
Partner. If we lack the requisite liquidity to redeem the units, our
General Partner, in its sole discretion, may purchase the units on generally the
same terms as we would have redeemed the units. As of the date of
this report 3,000 units have been redeemed.
Sale
of Units
From October 1, 2007 through May 19,
2008, we privately sold our limited partnership units at $10.00 per unit to
accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of
the Securities Act. We sold a total of 3,713,492 units, including
204,678 units to our General Partner, for total proceeds, before commission,
fees and expenses, of approximately $36.8 million. We refer to these
sales herein as the Offering. Chadwick Securities, Inc., an affiliate
of our General Partner, served as a dealer-manager in the Offering.

Results
of Operations
We generate our income from both the
net revenues we receive from our Properties and from debt service payments made
to us on our Real Estate Debt Investments. We also may, in the
future, generate funds from the sale or refinancing of our Properties or the
sale or repayment of our Real Estate Debt Investments. Because we
acquired our Real Estate Investments in late 2007 and early 2008, we do not
expect that we will sell or refinance our Properties for at least the next
year. With respect to our Real Estate Debt Investments, while
economic conditions in the United States did not affect us in 2008, in 2009 all
three loans were materially adversely affected, as discussed below, and were
placed on non-accrual status. Once we place a loan on
non-accrual, we recognize revenue only as cash is received. We have
established an allowance for loan loss of approximately $2.7 million to fully
reserve all three loans. Should the current recession continue or
intensify, we could experience lower occupancy and lower rental revenues and
higher operating costs all of which could harm our operations and financial
condition, reduce the value of our Real Estate Investments and adversely affect
the distributions to our limited partners.
Our operating results and cash flows
from our Properties are affected by four principal factors:
|
·
|
occupancy
and rental rates,
|
|
·
|
property
operating expenses,
|
|
·
|
interest
rates on the related financing, and
|
|
·
|
capital
expenditures.
|
The amount of rental revenues from our
Properties depends upon the occupancy rate and concessions
granted. Our Properties experienced an overall increase in the
average occupancy rate during the year ended December 31, 2009 of approximately
2.5%, with an average occupancy rate of 90.9% over the twelve month period as
compared to an average occupancy rate in 2008 of 88.4%. The average
occupancy rate at December 31, 2009 was approximately 91.3%. During
2008, we had experienced a downward trend in the occupancy rate at one of our
Properties while the rates at the other Properties remained
stable. We attributed the 2008 occupancy rate decrease to the rapid
increase in unemployment throughout the United States, which had affected some
of our resident base. In particular, the occupancy rates of Park
Hill, one of our San Antonio, Texas properties, decreased due to significant
layoffs at a nearby employer. Unemployment among our resident base
will often result in higher bad debt expenses as well as tenants moving out of
apartment units prior to the expiration of their lease term.
The
aggressive property-level programs that have been deployed by our Properties
have led to the increase in occupancy rates experienced during the year ended
December 31, 2009, including, in particular, our lease assurance program and our
Lease Rent Optimizer, or LRO, program which includes rent concessions and a
substantial capital improvements program. Under our lease assurance
program, we are marketing our apartment units to current and potential tenants
who are worried about incurring substantial lease breakage penalties if they
lose their jobs. The program allows tenants who sign new or renewal
leases to terminate their leases without penalty within 45 days after they
provide proof of an involuntary job loss. Under our LRO program, we
seek to price our rents for apartment units on a daily basis, based upon
inventory in the marketplace and competitors’ pricing.
We seek
to control operating expenses through our General Partner’s automated purchase
order system that compares actual to budgeted expenses and requires management
approval of variances, and through the use of third-party service providers to
seek best available pricing.
Our
existing financing is at fixed rates of interest and, accordingly, our interest
cost has remained stable during the period of our ownership of the
Properties. Because our existing financing extends through periods
ranging from 2015 to 2018, we expect that our financing costs will remain stable
during substantially all of our expected term.
Under our
capital improvements program, more particularly described in “Liquidity and
Capital Resources,” we expect to spend approximately $5.7 million in the next
seven years for property improvements intended to increase the Properties’
appeal to tenants. As we implement planned improvements to our
Properties, we seek to cause our occupancy rates and our cash flow from
operating activities to increase.
Our
income from our Real Estate Debt Investments is derived from the interest we
earn on those investments. Because the interest is payable at fixed
rates, our income on these investments is not affected by changes in market
rates of interest. Our income will, however, be affected by the
ability of the properties underlying our Real Estate Debt Investments to
generate sufficient revenue to cover interest owed to the senior lenders and to
us. During the year ended December 31, 2009, all three of our Real
Estate Debt Investments became delinquent. The senior lenders on the
properties have indicated to us that they have formally declared their loans to
be in default. As a result of the recession in the United States,
each of the properties underlying our Real Estate Debt Investments has
experienced increased vacancy rates. Vacancy rates at the property
underlying the Acacia loan were approximately 8.2% in 2009, which was up from 6%
in 2008, primarily due to the increase in the availability of single family
homes for rent and unemployment in the surrounding market. At the
property underlying the Hillwood loan, the apartment market remains the weakest
of the four major markets in Alabama averaging an 87.4% occupancy rate compared
to 89.7% in 2008 with decreases in effective rent of approximately
2.2%. In Central Las Vegas, where the property underlying the
Southern Cove loan is located, we expect an increase in the vacancy rate from
the current 6.5% to approximately 7.4%. While all three borrowers are
working to increase occupancy at their respective properties, they are having
difficulty due to the poor economic conditions in the markets where these
properties are located. The senior lenders on of all three notes
informed us that, because of borrowers’ defaults, the post default payment terms
of the intercreditor agreements between the senior lenders and us had become
effective. Pursuant to these agreements, the senior lenders must be
repaid in full before we may receive any current or accrued interest or
principal. Based on management’s analysis, we placed all three loans
on non-accrual status and reserved the entire balance.

2008
We attribute the $284,000 increase in
revenues principally to an increase in the aggregate number of days (1,825) we
owned the Properties during the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the
aggregate number of days (1,707) we owned the Properties during the year ended
December 31, 2008, as well as an increase of 3.9% in the weighted average
occupancy rate for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 2008. This increase was partially offset by
reduced interest income from the loans held for investment as a result of their
default.
Expenses
– Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31,
2008
We attribute the $2.1 million increase
in expenses principally to the following:
|
·
|
a
$347,000 increase in operating expenses due to an increase in the
aggregate number of days (1,825) we owned the Properties during the year
ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the aggregate number of days
(1,707) we owned the Properties during the year ended December 31, 2009.
The increased expenses include the
following:
|
|
-
|
a
$119,000 increase in real estate
taxes;
|
|
-
|
a
$136,000 increase in payroll; and
|
|
-
|
a
$91,000 increase in turnover costs.
|
|
·
|
a
$73,000 increase in management fees directly related to the increase in
rental income;
|
|
·
|
a
$111,000 increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to
increased professional fees relating to requirements that we register and
report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
and
|
|
·
|
a
$2.6 million increase in provision for loan loss related to fully
reserving all three of our Real Estate Debt
Investments.
|
These
increases were partially offset by:
|
·
|
a
$1.0 million decrease in depreciation and amortization due to four
properties having fully amortized the value of their respective in-place
leases.
|
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We obtained our initial equity capital
of $36.8 million through the issuance of limited partnership units, including
$1.8 million of limited partnership units purchased by our General
Partner. The funds were used to purchase five properties and three
subordinated notes, which completed our asset acquisition phase.

sources and uses of cash (in thousands):

Our
liquidity needs consist principally of funds to pay the Properties’ debt
service, operating expenses, capital expenditures and monthly distributions to
the limited partners. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs will be
subject to our ability to generate cash from operations and to control property
operating expenses. The ability to generate cash from operations will
depend on the occupancy rates, rates charged to tenants compared with competing
properties in the area and the ability of tenants to pay
rent. Occupancy rates can fluctuate based on changes in local market
conditions where the Properties are located such as: excessive building
resulting in an oversupply of similar properties, deterioration of surrounding
areas or a decrease in market rates. The rental rates charged to
tenants compared to competing properties can be impacted by a lack of perceived
safety, convenience and attractiveness of a property.
During
the year ended December 31, 2009, two of our Properties incurred one-time
expenses, which we do not expect to occur in the future. During late
2008 and early 2009, we experienced a decline in occupancy at Park Hill because
a large number of residents worked for a government subcontractor whose
contracts were cancelled; as a result, many residents terminated their leases
and vacated the premises. The high volume of move-outs focused our
efforts to quickly re-lease the property and increase
occupancy. During this period, we spent approximately $89,000 in
excess of normal stabilized operating costs to accomplish that goal, including
additional payroll for leasing personnel. Park Hill’s average
occupancy for the current quarter was 94.1%. The property is now
stabilized which we expect will prevent future dips in
occupancy. Moreover, at Memorial Towers in 2009, we had a major pipe
replacement project which caused the electricity usage at the property to
increase which in turn increased our electricity expense by
$45,000. The project has now been completed and the expense has since
decreased. In addition, significant transition costs were incurred
after acquisition in order to correct maintenance deferred by the previous
owners. These costs have been treated as operating expenses in the
consolidated financial statements.
The following table sets forth the
capital expenditures incurred during the year ended December 31, 2009 and
estimated future capital expenditures which are discretionary in nature (in
thousands):

We have
spent $2.5 million on capital expenditures, such as club house and parking lot
improvements, fixture upgrades, saltwater conversion of pools, elevator system
upgrades, playground replacement, pipe replacement project and turn over costs
during the year ended December 31, 2009. Future discretionary capital
expenditures over our remaining life will come from both the cash reserves
established when the properties were purchased and future operating cash
flows. These future expenditures are reviewed periodically and
adjusted based on both operating results and market conditions. In
light of the current economic environment, estimated future capital expenditures
have been revised downwards in the expectation that the return on the additional
investment will not be positive. The cash reserves were $2.4 million
at December 31, 2009.
Redemption
of Units
We are permitted, in our General
Partner’s sole discretion, to redeem units upon a unitholder’s
request. However, we have no obligation to redeem units at any time,
and we can decline to redeem units for any reason. For example, if our General
Partner determines that we do not have the necessary cash flow, taking into
account future distributions to our other limited partners, investments, and
foreseeable operating expenses, a unitholder’s request may be declined. In
addition, our General Partner may not approve the redemption of units if it
concludes that the redemption might cause our total unit transfers in the year,
subject to certain exceptions, to exceed 2% of our total capital or profits
interests. All of these determinations are subjective and will be made in our
General Partner’s sole discretion. We will also determine the
redemption price based on provisions set forth in the First Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership, or the Partnership Agreement. To the extent
the formula for arriving at the redemption price has any subjective
determinations, they will fall within the sole discretion of our General
Partner. If we lack the requisite liquidity to redeem the units, our
General Partner, in its sole discretion, may purchase the units on generally the
same terms as we would have redeemed the units. As of the date of
these financial statements 3,000 units have been redeemed.
Legal
Proceedings
We are a party to various routine legal
proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of our
business. Management believes that none of these actions,
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or operations.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
our assets, liabilities, revenues and cost and expenses, and related disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we
evaluate our estimates, including those related to certain accrued
liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that we believe reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
We have identified the following
policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our
results of operations.
Property
Acquisitions. We allocated the
purchase price of acquired properties to the acquired tangible assets and
liabilities, consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, long-term debt
and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of
above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, the value of
unamortized lease origination costs and the value of tenant relationships, based
in each case on their relative fair values. The value of in-place
leases is amortized over twelve months on a straight line basis.
Impairment. We
review the carrying value of each Property to determine if circumstances that
indicate impairment in the carrying value of the investment exist or that
depreciation periods should be modified. If it is determined that an
asset’s estimated future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its
carrying amount, we will record an impairment charge to reduce the carrying
amount for that asset to its estimated fair value. There have been no
impairments recognized on our Properties for the years ended December 31, 2009
and 2008.
Loans held for
Investment. We consider a loan to be
impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes it
is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the
allowance for loan losses is increased by the amount of the excess of the
amortized cost basis of the loan over its fair value. Fair value may
be determined based on market price, if available, the fair value of the
collateral less estimated disposition costs, or the present value of estimated
cash flows.
We consider general and local economic
conditions, neighborhood values, competitive overbuilding, casualty losses and
other factors that may affect the underlying value of real estate when
considering whether our Real Estate Debt Investments are
impaired. The value of our Real Estate Debt Investments may also be
affected by factors such as the cost of compliance with regulations and
liability under applicable environmental laws, changes in interest rates and the
availability of financing. Income from a property will be reduced if
a significant number of tenants are unable to pay rent or if available space
cannot be rented on favorable terms. In addition, we continuously
monitor collections and payments from our borrowers and maintain an allowance
for estimated losses based upon our historical experience and knowledge of
specific borrower collection issues.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, a
$2.6 million provision for loan loss was recorded and is included on the
consolidated statements of operations. See “– Results of Operations"
for a discussion of this provision. No such provision was deemed
necessary for the year ended December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2009
and 2008, the allowance for loan loss was $2.6 million and $0,
respectively.
Revenue
Recognition. Our revenue is primarily derived from the rental
of residential housing units with lease agreement terms of approximately twelve
months. We recognize revenue in the period that rent is earned, which
is on a monthly basis.
We recognize rent as income on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease for leases with varying rental
payments. We also recognize any incentives included in the lease on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, we do
not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations, including contingent
obligations, other than guarantees by the General Partner of certain limited
standard expectations to the non-recourse nature of the mortgage notes which are
secured by the Properties.
Recent
Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board, or FASB, indentified the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification, or ASC, as the authoritative source of GAAP other than guidance
put forth by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All other
accounting literature not included in the ASC will be considered
non-authoritative. We adopted this standard in the third quarter of
2009 and revised our disclosures accordingly.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new
guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. The guidance
requires new disclosures for transferring in and out of Level 1 and Level 2
amounts and clarifies existing disclosures regarding levels of disaggregation
and inputs surrounding valuation techniques. The guidance will be
effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15,
2009. We do not expect adoption will have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements. In addition, the guidance requires
new disclosure surrounding activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, to
present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and
settlements. This guidance will be effective for interim and annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Adoption will require
additional disclosure to break out such categories in the notes to our
consolidated financial statements.
In December 2009, the FASB issued new
guidance for improving financial reporting for enterprises involved with
variable interest entities, or VIEs, regarding power to direct the activities of
a VIE as well as obligations to absorb the losses. We adopted this
guidance in the fourth quarter of 2009. Adoption did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued new
guidance for evaluating the fair value of liabilities. The guidance
clarifies techniques for valuing liabilities in circumstances where a quoted
price or quoted price for an identical liability is not
available. The provisions of this guidance were effective in the
third quarter of 2009 and our adoption did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance
which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events
that occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the financial
statements. Provisions for this guidance are effective for the
interim period ending June 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance
did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance
which requires an acquirer to recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date,
an asset acquired and/or a liability assumed in a business combination that
arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or
liability can be determined during the measurement period. This standard is
effective for us for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in
business combinations for which the acquisition date is after September 30,
2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on
our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance
for estimating fair value, when the volume and level of activity for the asset
or liability have significantly decreased. The FASB also provided
guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not
orderly. Issued guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a
significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of
fair value measurement remains the same. Provisions for this guidance are
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15,
2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on
our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued
guidance intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance
disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of
securities. It provides guidelines for making fair value measurements
more consistent with the fair value measurement principles when the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability have decreased
significantly. It also enhances consistency in financial reporting by
increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. Finally, it
provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency
in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on
securities. Provisions for this guidance are effective for interim
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did
not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2008, the FASB amended the
factors to be considered in developing a renewal or extension of assumptions
used for purpose of determining the useful life of a recognized intangible
asset. This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between
the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash
flows used to measure the fair value of the asset and is effective for us in
2010. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM
7A.
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
|
The principal category of market risk
relevant to us is interest rate risk fluctuations. However, since
both our debt investments and our debt obligations are at fixed rates of
interest, we do not have material interest rate risk exposure. An
increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our debt
investments. However, since we intend to and have the ability to hold
these investments through to maturity, we believe that fluctuations in fair
value during the term of these investments due to interest rate changes do not
present us with material risk.
We also have exposure to credit risk on
our loan investments. We mitigate this risk by monitoring the credit
profile of the underlying borrowers. During the year ended December
31, 2009 our three Real Estate Debt Investments, became
delinquent. The first mortgage holders of all three notes informed us
that the post default payment terms of the intercreditor agreements had become
effective due to the default by the borrowers. As a result, the first
mortgage holders must be repaid in full before we may receive any current or
accrued interest or principal. Based on management’s analysis, we
placed all three loans on non-accrual status and reserved the entire
balance. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a $2.6
million provision for loan loss based on management’s review of the
loans. Continued delinquency could adversely impact our ability to
make distributions to our limited partners.

OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Partners of
Resource
Real Estate Investors 6, L.P.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Resource Real Estate
Investors 6, L.P. (a Delaware partnership) and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”)
as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for the years then
ended. Our audits of the basic financial statements included the
financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item
15(a)2. These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated 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 Resource Real
Estate Investors 6, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

NOTE
1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Resource Real Estate Investors 6, L.P.
(“R-6” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership which owns and
operates and invested in multifamily residential rental properties located in
Maine and Texas. The Partnership also invested in subordinated notes
secured by multifamily residential properties located in California, Alabama and
Nevada. R-6 was formed on July 26, 2007 and commenced operations on
October 1, 2007. The Partnership was capitalized by an offering of
partnership units which was closed on May 19, 2008. The General
Partner, Resource Capital Partners, Inc. (“RCP” or “the GP”), is in the business
of sponsoring and managing real estate investment limited partnership and tenant
in common programs. RCP contributed $1,000 in cash as its minimum
capital contribution to the Partnership. In addition, RCP holds a
5.0% limited partnership interest in the Partnership at December 31,
2009. RCP is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America,
Inc. (“RAI”), a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: REXI) operating in the real
estate, commercial finance and financial fund management sectors.
The Partnership will continue until
July 30, 2015, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the First Amended
and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Agreement”). The
GP has the right to extend the Partnership term for two one-year periods
following the initial termination date, provided that all such extensions may
not exceed two years in the aggregate.
The Agreement provides that income is
allocated as follows: first, to the partners in proportion to and to the extent
of the deficit balances, if any, in their respective capital accounts; second,
to the partners in proportion to the allocations of Distributable Cash (as
defined in the Agreement); and third, 100% to the limited partners
(“LPs”). All losses are allocated as follows: first, 100% to the LPs
until the LPs have been allocated losses equal to the excess, if any, of their
aggregate capital account balances over the aggregate Adjusted Capital
Contributions (as defined in the Agreement); second, to the partners in
proportion to and to the extent of their respective remaining positive capital
account balances, if any; and third, 100% to the LPs.
Distributable cash from operations,
payable monthly, as determined by the GP, is first allocated 100% to the LPs
until the LPs have received their Preferred Return (as defined in the
Agreement); and thereafter, 80% to the LPs and 20% to the GP. The
Preferred Return is generally an annual return on the adjusted capital
contributions of 8.25% for 2007 investors and 8.0% for 2008
investors.
Distributable cash from capital
transactions, as determined by the GP, is first allocated 100% to the LPs until
the LPs have received their Preferred Return; second, 100% to the LPs until
their Adjusted Capital Contributions have been reduced to zero; and thereafter,
80% to the LPs and 20% to the GP.

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)
Principles
of Consolidation – (Continued)
The Partnership owns a 100% interest in
RRE Funding II, LLC (“Funding”), which owns three mezzanine notes with a
combined face value of $2.9 million.
All material intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated.
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The Partnership estimates the allowance for
uncollectible receivables and loan losses and adjusts the balance
quarterly. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Supplemental
Disclosure of Cash Flow Information
During the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, the Partnership paid $2.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively,
in cash for interest. For additional supplemental cash flow
information, see Note 3.
Deferred
Financing Costs
Costs incurred to obtain financing have
been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the related debt using
the effective yield method.
Income
Taxes
Income taxes or credits resulting from
earnings or losses are payable by or accrue to the benefit of the partners;
accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in these consolidated
financial statements.
The Partnership is subject to
examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and by the taxing
authorities in those states in which the Partnership has significant business
operations. The Partnership is not currently undergoing any
examinations by taxing authorities. The Partnership may be subject to
U.S. federal income tax and state/local income tax examinations for years 2006
through 2009.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue is primarily derived from the
rental of residential housing units with lease agreement terms of approximately
twelve months. The Partnership recognizes revenue in the period that
rent is earned, which is on a monthly basis.
Rents are recognized as income on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease for leases with varying rental
payments. Any incentives included in the lease are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The future minimum rental payments to
be received from noncancelable operating leases is approximately $3.8 million
and $61,000 for the years ending 2010 and 2011, respectively, and none
thereafter.
Loans
Held for Investment, Net
The Partnership recognizes revenue from
the loans it holds for investment as interest income using the effective yield
method.
The initial investment made in a
purchased loan includes the amount paid to the seller plus any
fees. The initial investment frequently differs from the related
loan’s principal amount at the date of purchase. This difference is
recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the life of the loan.
The Partnership initially records its
loans at their purchase price, and subsequently accounts for them based on their
outstanding principal plus or minus any unamortized premiums or
discounts.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS − (Continued)
DECEMBER

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES − (Continued)
Loans
Held for Investment, Net – (Continued)
Interest income on loans includes
interest at stated rates adjusted for amortization or accretion of premiums and
discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into
income using the effective yield method. When the Partnership
purchases a loan or pool of loans at a discount, it evaluates whether all or a
portion of the discount represents accretable yield. If a loan with a
premium or discount is prepaid, the Partnership immediately recognizes the
unamortized portion as a decrease or increase to interest income.
The Partnership considers a loan to be
impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes it
is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan
is impaired, the allowance for loan losses is increased by the amount of the
excess of the amortized cost basis of the loan over its fair
value. Fair value may be determined based on market price, if
available, the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs, or
the present value of estimated cash flows.
The Partnership considers general and
local economic conditions, neighborhood values, competitive overbuilding,
casualty losses and other factors that may affect the value of loans and real
estate securing those loans. The value of loans and the related real
estate may also be affected by factors such as the cost of compliance with
regulations and liability under applicable environmental laws, changes in
interest rates and the availability of financing. Income from a
property that supports a loan’s debt service requirements will be reduced if a
significant number of tenants are unable to pay rent or if available space
cannot be rented on favorable terms. The Partnership continuously
monitors collections and payments from its borrowers and maintains an allowance
for estimated losses based upon its historical experience and its knowledge of
specific borrower collection issues. An impaired real estate loan may
remain on accrual status during the period in which the Partnership is pursuing
repayment of the loan; however, the loan will be placed on non-accrual status at
such time as either (1) management believes that contractual debt service
payments will not be met; (2) the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; or (3)
management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts
toward, curing the cause of the impairment. While on non-accrual
status, the Partnership recognizes interest income only when an actual payment
is received. If the timing and amount of expected future cash flows
cannot be reasonably estimated for a loan, and collection is not probable, the
cost recovery method of accounting is used. Under the cost recovery
method, any amounts received are applied against the recorded amount of the
loan.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, a
$2.6 million provision for loan loss was recorded and is included on the
consolidated statements of operations. No such provision was deemed
necessary for the year ended December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2009
and 2008, the allowance for loan loss was $2.6 million and $0,
respectively.
Long-Lived
Assets
The Partnership reviews long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is
determined that an asset’s estimated future cash flows will not be sufficient to
recover its carrying amount, an impairment charge will be recorded to reduce the
carrying amount for that asset to its estimated fair value. There was
no impairment loss for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Rental
Properties
Rental properties are carried at cost,
net of accumulated depreciation. Buildings and improvements and
personal property are depreciated for financial reporting purposes on the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The value of
in place leases is amortized over twelve months on a straight line
basis. For income tax reporting purposes, the Partnership uses the
Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System. Useful lives used for
calculating depreciation for financial reporting purposes are as
follows:
Buildings
and improvements
|
5 -
27.5 years
|
||
Personal
property
|
3 - 15 years
|
Advertising
The Partnership expenses advertising
costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in
rental operating expenses, totaled $207,000 and $161,000 for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES − (Continued)
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which
potentially subject the Partnership to concentration of credit risk, consist of
periodic temporary deposits of cash. At December 31, 2009, the
Partnership had $4.0 million of deposits at various
banks of which $2.0 million was over the insurance limit of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. No losses have been experienced on such
deposits.
Tenant
Receivables, Net
Tenant receivables are stated in the
financial statements net of an allowance for uncollectible
receivables. The Partnership determines its allowance by considering
a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due,
security deposits held, previous loss history, the tenants’ current ability to
pay their obligations to the Partnership, the condition of the general economy
and the industry as whole. The Partnership writes off receivables
when they become uncollectible. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, $0 and
$1,000, respectively, is included in the allowance for uncollectible
receivables.
Recently
Issued Financial Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting
Standards board (“FASB”) indentified the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) as the authoritative source of GAAP other than guidance put forth by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All other accounting
literature not included in the ASC will be considered
non-authoritative. The Partnership adopted this standard in the third
quarter of 2009 and revised its disclosures accordingly for references to
GAAP.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new
guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. The guidance
requires new disclosures for transferring in and out of Level 1 and Level 2
amounts and clarifies existing disclosures regarding levels of disaggregation
and inputs surrounding valuation techniques. The guidance will be
effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15,
2009. The Partnership does not expect adoption will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, the
guidance requires new disclosure surrounding activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements, to present separately information about purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements. This guidance will be effective for
interim and annual periods beginning after December 15,
2010. Adoption will require additional disclosure to break out such
categories in the notes to the Partnership’s consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2009, the FASB issued new
guidance for improving financial reporting for enterprises involved with
variable interest entities (“VIE”) regarding power to direct the activities of a
VIE as well as obligations to absorb the losses. The Partnership
adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2009. The adoption of
this guidance did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated
financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued new
guidance for evaluating the fair value of liabilities. The guidance
clarifies techniques for valuing liabilities in circumstances where a quoted
price or quoted price for an identical liability is not
available. The provisions of this guidance were effective in the
third quarter of 2009 and the Partnership’s adoption did not have a material
impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance
which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events
that occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the financial
statements. Provisions for this guidance are effective for the
interim period ending June 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance
did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance
which requires an acquirer to recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date,
an asset acquired and/or a liability assumed in a business combination that
arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or
liability can be determined during the measurement period. This standard is
effective for the Partnership for assets or liabilities arising from
contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is after
September 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a
material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES − (Continued)
Recently
Issued Financial Accounting Standards – (Continued)
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance
for estimating fair value, when the volume and level of activity for the asset
or liability have significantly decreased. Providing guidance on identifying
circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. Issued guidance
emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation
technique(s) used, the objective of fair value measurement remains the same.
Provisions for this guidance are effective for interim and annual periods ending
after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a
material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued
guidance intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance
disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of
securities. It provides guidelines for making fair value measurements
more consistent with the fair value measurement principles when the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability have decreased
significantly. It also enhances consistency in financial reporting by
increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. Finally, it
provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency
in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on
securities. Provisions for this guidance are effective for interim
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a
material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2008, the FASB amended the
factors to be considered in developing a renewal or extension of assumptions
used for purpose of determining the useful life of a recognized intangible
asset. This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between
the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash
flows used to measure the fair value of the asset and is effective for the
Partnership in 2010. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a
material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE
3 – PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
The cost of properties acquired was
allocated to net tangible assets based on relative fair values. Fair
value estimates were based on information obtained from a number of sources,
including independent appraisals that were obtained in connection with the
acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data, as
well as information obtained about each property as a result of due diligence,
marketing and leasing activities.

All loans are interest only through
maturity. During the year ended December 31, 2009, all three loans
became delinquent. The first mortgage holders informed the
Partnership that the post default payment terms of the intercreditor agreements
had become effective due to the continued default by the
borrowers. Pursuant to these agreements, the first mortgage holders
must be repaid in full before the Partnership may recover any current or accrued
interest or principal. Based on management’s analysis, the
Partnership placed all three loans on non-accrual status and provided an
allowance for the entire balances during the third and fourth quarters of
2009. At December 31, 2008, all three loans were
current.

The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each
class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:
Loans Held for Investment,
Net. The fair value of the loans is estimated by discounting
the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be
made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining
maturities.
Mortgage Notes
Payable. Rates currently available to the Partnership for debt
with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of
existing debt.

Disclosure
Controls
We maintain disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our general partner, including its chief
executive officer and its chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and
evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized
that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives,
and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating
the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision of the chief
executive officer and chief financial officer of our general partner, we have
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based
upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.
Management’s Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our general partner is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting
as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our general partner assessed the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2009. In making this assessment, the general partner used the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework. Based upon this assessment, our general partner
concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial
reporting is effective.
This annual report does not include an
attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm
regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not
subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm
pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only
management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control
over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth
quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Deferral of Real Estate Management
Fees
We pay Resource Real Estate Management
or its affiliates the real estate management fees for our Real Estate
Investments from our operating revenues and our General Partner may, in its
discretion, from time to time defer payment of all or any portion of such fees
related to our Real Estate Investments, and accrue the same, if it deems our
operating revenues are insufficient to pay such fees and still satisfy our
investment objectives. We will pay any deferred fees to Resource Real
Estate Management when our General Partner deems our operating revenues are
sufficient to make such payment.
Investment Management
Fees
We pay
our General Partner or its affiliates an annual investment management fee
payable from our revenues in an amount equal to 1% of the gross offering

Estate Investments. The investment management fee is for our General
Partner’s professional services rendered in our administration, including, but
not limited to, the preparation and distribution of our required quarterly and
annual reports to our limited partners. Since the annual investment
management fee is for our General Partner’s professional services, it is in
addition to the reimbursements we pay our General Partner for certain
administrative expenses that it and its affiliates incur on our behalf as
described below in “– Reimbursement of Administrative Expenses and Direct
Costs.” Up to 100% of our General Partner’s annual investment
management fee is subordinated to our limited partners’ receipt of their
Preferred Return. Our General Partner is entitled at any time to an
additional share of our cash distributions to recoup any investment management
fees or distributions that were previously subordinated to the extent that our
cash distributions to our limited partners exceeded their Preferred
Return. For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 our General
Partner earned $349,000 and $305,000, respectively, in investment management
fees, the payment of which was deferred under the subordination clause of the
Partnership Agreement.
Reimbursement of
Administrative Expenses and Direct Costs
We pay
all of the expenses that we incur, including acquisition expenses, which are
separately charged to us rather than to our General Partner or its affiliates,
and are approved by our General Partner. In addition, except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Partnership Agreement, expenses incurred by
our General Partner and its affiliates in performing their duties under the
Partnership Agreement will not be included in the fees we pay to our General
Partner and its affiliates, but will be charged for reimbursement separately to
us by our General Partner or its affiliates performing those
duties. These reimbursable expenses include:
|
·
|
actual
direct costs of goods and services obtained by our General Partner or its
affiliates from independent third-parties that are used for, or by, us,
including acquisition expenses; and
|
|
·
|
expenses
of administrative services provided by our General Partner or its
affiliates, including acquisition expenses and out-of-pocket expenses,
allocated expenses, and personnel expenses (other than personnel expenses
allocated to controlling persons of our General Partner or its affiliates)
incurred in connection with the management of our Real Estate Investments,
provided that the reimbursement may not exceed the lesser
of:
|
|
-
|
its
or their actual cost for those administrative services;
or
|
|
-
|
the
amount we would be required to pay to third-parties for comparable
administrative services in the same geographic
location.
|
The reimbursement of expenses is
subject to the following limitations:
|
·
|
no
reimbursement may be made for those administrative services if our General
Partner or any affiliate is entitled to compensation from us in the form
of a separate fee or reimbursement for those administrative services;
and
|
|
·
|
our
General Partner and its affiliates will not be reimbursed by us for
amounts expended by them with respect to their rent, personnel,
depreciation, utilities, capital equipment, or similar overhead or
administrative items which relate primarily to the activities of our
General Partner or its affiliates, rather than our
activities.
|
Therefore, items that may be reimbursed
to our General Partner and its affiliates include expenses for telephone,
postage, travel, meals and lodging and similar expense items incurred in
performing their duties. For the year ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, we paid our General Partner $0 and $77,000, respectively, for
reimbursement of expenses and direct costs.
Property Financing Fee for
Refinancing a Property
We pay
our General Partner or its affiliates a property financing fee equal to 0.5% of
the face amount of any refinancing we obtain for our interest in
Properties. This fee is for our General Partner’s or its affiliates’
services in obtaining the financing and negotiating its terms. The
property financing fee for refinancing will not be paid for Real Estate Debt
Investments. There were no refinancings of the Properties during the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and, accordingly, no fees were
paid.
Other
Compensation
We may
borrow funds from our General Partner and its affiliates, which will result in
compensation to our General Partner or its affiliate that provides the
loan. However, the rate of interest and other amounts they charge us
for the loan may not exceed those that would be charged by unrelated lenders on
comparable loans for the same purpose in the same geographic area.
Cash Distributions to our
General Partner
Our
General Partner will receive distributions from us from the following
sources:
|
·
|
distributable
cash from operations;
|
|
·
|
distributable
cash from capital transactions; and
|
|
·
|
cash
distributions to the partners upon our
liquidation.
|
Cash distributions from our operations
will be first paid to our limited partners until they have received
distributions totaling their Preferred Return and thereafter, 80% to our limited
partners and 20% to our General Partner.
Cash
distributions from capital transactions, which include cash we receive from the
sale or refinancing of a Property or the sale or repayment of full or all
outstanding principal and interest due and owing to us on a Real Estate Debt
Investment, are distributed in the following order:
|
·
|
first,
100% to our limited partners until they receive distributions totaling
their Preferred Return;
|
|
·
|
second,
100% to our limited partners until their respective adjusted capital
contribution has been reduced to zero;
and
|
|
·
|
thereafter,
80% to our limited partners and 20% to our General
Partner.
|
When we
dissolve and liquidate, we will distribute the liquidation proceeds in the
following order of priority:
|
·
|
first,
to the payment of our creditors in the order of priority provided by law,
except obligations to partners or their
affiliates;
|
|
·
|
next,
to establish any reserve that our General Partner (or any other person
effecting the winding up) determines is reasonably necessary for any
contingent or unforeseen liability or
obligation;
|
|
·
|
next,
to the payment of all unpaid fees (other than our General Partner’s right
to reimbursement of any previous subordination distributions to our
limited partners) and other obligations owed by us to our General Partner
and its affiliates (other than expense reimbursements), such as loans to
us, in proportion to, and to the extent of, the unpaid fees, advances and
other obligations to our General Partner and its affiliates under the
Partnership Agreement;
|
|
·
|
next,
to the payment of all expense reimbursements (other than our General
Partner’s right to reimbursement of any previous subordination
distributions to our limited partners) to which our General Partner or its
affiliates may be entitled under the Partnership
Agreement;
|
|
·
|
next,
to the partners in proportion to, and to the extent of, the positive
balances of their capital accounts;
|
|
·
|
next,
100% to our limited partners until they have received their respective
Preferred Return;
|
|
·
|
next,
to our General Partner as reimbursement for any previous subordination
distributions to our limited partners, if any;
and
|
|
·
|
thereafter,
80% to our limited partners and 20% to our General
Partner.
|
Conflicts of
Interest
Our
General Partner is subject to various conflicts of interest and since our
General Partner controls our management, these conflicts will not be resolved
through arms-length negotiations. However, some provisions of the
Partnership Agreement are designed to protect our limited partners’ interests in
conflict of interest matters, such as provisions which:
|
·
|
limit
the actions our General Partner and its affiliates may take in managing us
and our Real Estate Investments;
|
|
·
|
limit
the compensation and fees payable to them;
and
|
|
·
|
limit
the expenses for which they will receive
reimbursement.
|
Notwithstanding,
the Partnership Agreement does not directly address every potential conflict of
interest that may arise. In those matters, our General Partner must
exercise its judgment consistent with its fiduciary duties and there are no
established conflict of interest resolution standards or
procedures. Therefore, these conflicts may be resolved in the best
interest of our General Partner. Some of these potential conflicts
are discussed below.
In
addition, our General Partner depends on its indirect parent company, Resource
America, for management and administrative functions and financing for capital
expenditures. Neither the Partnership Agreement nor any other
agreement requires Resource America to pursue a future business strategy that
favors us. Resource America’s directors and officers have a fiduciary
duty to make decisions in the best interests of the stockholders of Resource
America. Because our General Partner is allowed to take into account
the interests of other parties such as Resource America in resolving its
conflicts of interest, this has the effect of limiting our limited partners’
ability to take action against our General Partner and its
affiliates.
The Compensation Payable to
our General Partner and its Affiliates Is Not the Result of Arms’ Length
Negotiations
Our
General Partner and its affiliates receive compensation in connection with our
operation and liquidation as described above. Although our General
Partner believes that the compensation is reasonable, the compensation was not
determined by arm’s length negotiation.
Monitoring Compliance With
Agreements By Affiliates
Our
General Partner must monitor and enforce the compliance of its affiliate,
Resource Real Estate Management, in the management of our Real Estate
Investments under the real estate management agreement and its own compliance
with the Partnership Agreement.
Our General Partner and its
Affiliates Engage in Activities That May Compete With Our
Activities
Our
General Partner and its affiliates are not prohibited from investing in,
acquiring, operating or selling Real Estate Investments, including multifamily
residential rental properties or interests in debt instruments secured, directly
or indirectly, by such Properties, either on their own behalf or on behalf of
private or public partnerships or other entities that they, or others, including
their affiliates, have formed or may form in the future. Our General
Partner and its affiliates also may own, control and/or manage Real Estate
Investments, including Properties or interests in debt instruments secured,
directly or indirectly, by such Properties, in which we have no interest and in
the same general areas where we acquire our Real Estate
Investments.
Accordingly,
our Real Estate Investments may compete for tenants with those owned by our
General Partner or its affiliates, including their affiliated investment
programs. Also, Real Estate Investments owned or controlled by our
General Partner or its affiliates, or which secure debt investments owned by our
General Partner or its affiliates in which we have no interest, may be enhanced
by our purchase of a Real Estate Investment in the same general
area. Our General Partner also may be subject to conflicts of
interest with respect to recommendations to our limited partners to sell a Real
Estate Investment if it or its affiliates own other Real Estate Investments in
the same area or which secure debt investments owned by our General Partner or
its affiliates that they also want to sell. In this regard, Resource
Capital Corp., or RCC, is a publicly-traded real estate specialty finance
company that qualifies as a Real Estate Investment Trust, REIT, for federal
income tax purposes. RCC is externally managed by Resource Capital
Manager, Inc., an affiliate of our General Partner. Since RCC’s
targeted investments include, but are not limited to, B notes and mezzanine
debt, which may be secured, directly or indirectly, by multifamily residential
rental properties, RCC may compete with us with respect to our Real Estate Debt
Investments.
Actions Taken by our General
Partner May Affect the Amount of Cash Available for Distribution to Our Limited
Partners and the Compensation of Our General Partner
The
amount of cash we have available for distribution to our limited partners is
affected by our General Partner’s decisions regarding various matters,
including:
|
·
|
whether
our General Partner will, in its discretion, defer and accrue any portion
or all of the Real Estate Management Fees payable by us to Resource Real
Estate Management or its affiliates with respect to our Properties under
the circumstances described above;
|
|
·
|
the
amount and timing of our Real Estate Investment purchases and
sales;
|
|
·
|
the
amount and timing of our cash
expenditures;
|
|
·
|
the
amount and terms of financing we obtain with respect to our Properties;
and
|
|
·
|
the
creation, reduction or increase of our reserves, including possible
reserves for future capital expenditures for capital improvements or
replacements related to the Properties that will be included in the
purchase price of the Properties and, thus, increase certain fees payable
to our General Partner.
|
Under
applicable state limited partnership laws, our General Partner will be liable
for our obligations to the extent that they exceed our assets. As a
result, our General Partner has the right to cause us to establish and maintain
reserves (which are in addition to any capital reserves related to our
Properties) in the amounts our General Partner believes are necessary to meet
our obligations and contingent liabilities. Because our General
Partner may be exposed to liability to our creditors if our reserves are
insufficient to pay our obligations and contingent liabilities, our General
Partner may have a conflict of interest in allocating our cash flow between
distributions to our limited partners and establishing reserves. To
the extent that our General Partner increases the amount of our cash reserves,
the amount of cash available for distributions to our limited partners will be
deferred and may decrease.
We May Engage in
Transactions with the General Partner and Its Affiliates
As
described above, we enter into transactions with our General Partner and its
affiliates. Also, our General Partner currently relies on
contributions from its indirect parent company, Resource America, to meet its
ongoing obligations. In addition, under the Partnership Agreement,
when our General Partner or any affiliate provides us with goods or services
that are not otherwise provided for in the Partnership Agreement, which is not
anticipated by the General Partner, their fees must be competitive with the fees
charged by unaffiliated third-parties in the same geographic area engaged in
similar businesses.
Although
no loans may be made by us to our General Partner or its affiliates, our General
Partner and its affiliates may loan or advance funds to us, which are not
anticipated by our General Partner, provided that the rate of interest and other
amounts that would be charged to us (without reference to the loaning General
Partner’s or affiliate’s financial abilities or guarantees) do not exceed those
that would be charged by unrelated lending institutions on a comparable loan for
the same purpose in the same geographic area and the other terms of the loan are
no less favorable to us than those that could be obtained from those unrelated
lending institutions.
During the year ended December 31,
2008, R-6 borrowed $6.5 million from RCP to facilitate the purchase of two
properties. The note bore interest at the prime rate and was paid in
full April 2008. R-6 incurred interest expense of $49,833 while the
note was outstanding.
Additionally,
if our General Partner or any of its affiliates purchases a Real Estate
Investment in its own name and with its own funds in order to facilitate the
ultimate purchase of the Real Estate Investment by us, our General Partner or
the affiliate, as the case may be, will be deemed to have made a loan to us in
the amount of the purchase price and will be entitled to receive interest on
that amount as set forth above.
We Have not Retained
Separate Counsel or Other Professionals
The legal counsel that represents our
General Partner also represents us. None of the agreements and
arrangements between us and our General Partner and its affiliates were
negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
The attorneys, accountants and other
experts who perform services for us also perform services for our General
Partner, its affiliates and other partnerships or ventures that our General
Partner or its affiliates may sponsor. However, should a dispute
arise between us and our General Partner, we will retain separate legal counsel
to represent us in the matter. Also, if counsel advises our General
Partner that counsel reasonably believes its representation of us will be
adversely affected by its responsibilities to our General Partner, then our
General Partner will cause our investors to retain separate
counsel.
We Must Reimburse our
General Partner and its Affiliates for Expenses
We must
reimburse our General Partner and its affiliates for certain costs incurred by
them on our behalf. Our General Partner will determine the amount of
reimbursable expenses subject to limitations set forth in the Partnership
Agreement.
We Do Not Have Any Employees
and Will Rely on the Employees of our General Partner and its
Affiliates
We do not
have any officers or employees and will rely solely on officers and employees of
our General Partner and its affiliates for our management and our Real Estate
Investments. Our General Partner and its affiliates also will conduct
business activities of their own in which we will have no economic
interest.
Employees
of our General Partner and its affiliates who provide services to us are not
required to work full-time on our affairs. These employees will
devote significant time to the affairs of our General Partner and its affiliates
and will be compensated by our General Partner and its affiliates for the
services rendered to them. Therefore, there may be significant
conflicts between us and our General Partner and its affiliates regarding the
availability of those employees to manage us and our Real Estate
Investments.
Our General Partner Invested
in Us as a Limited Partner
Our
General Partner has purchased units as a limited partner in an amount equal to
5% of our gross offering proceeds. One officer of the General Partner
also purchased 967 units. The subscription price of the General
Partner and its officer for their units was reduced by 10%. Even
though they pay a reduced price for their units, they will generally share in
our income, losses and cash distributions on the same basis as the other limited
partners, and they will generally have the same voting rights. This
will dilute the voting rights of our limited partners. However, units
owned by our General Partner and its officer will be excluded from any vote on
removing our General Partner as our general partner. Also, their rate
of return on their investment in us will be greater than the rate of return
received by our limited partners because of the discounted subscription price
our General Partner and its officer paid.
Conflicts Regarding
Redemption of Units
Limited
partners may present their units to us for redemption at any time. This creates
the following conflicts of interest between us and our limited
partners:
|
·
|
We
have no obligation to redeem the units at any time, and we may decline to
redeem the units for any reason. For example, if our General Partner
determines that we do not have the necessary cash flow, taking into
account future distributions to our other limited partners, investments,
and foreseeable operating expenses, we may decline the redemption
request. All of these determinations are subjective and will be
made in our General Partner’s sole discretion. In addition, our
General Partner may not approve the redemption of units if it concludes
that the redemption might cause our total unit transfers in the year,
subject to certain exceptions, to exceed 2% of our total capital or
profits interests.
|
|
·
|
We
will also determine the redemption price based on provisions set forth in
the Partnership Agreement. To the extent the formula for arriving at the
redemption price has any subjective determinations, they will fall within
the sole discretion of our General
Partner.
|
If we lack the requisite liquidity to
redeem the units, our General Partner, in its sole discretion, may purchase the
units on generally the same terms as we would have redeemed the
units.
Because we are not listed on any
national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, we have elected
to use the NASDAQ National Stock Market’s definition of “independent director”
in evaluating whether any of our General Partner’s directors are
independent. Under this definition, the board of directors of our
General Partner has determined that our General Partner does not have any
independent directors, nor are we required to have any.

2008.
All Other Fees. We

Procedures for Audit Committee
Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent
Auditor. As a limited partnership, we do not have an audit
committee. Our General Partner’s Board of Directors, acting as a
committee of the whole, reviews and approves in advance any audit and any
permissible non-audit engagement or relationship between us and our independent
auditors.
