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 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 both September 30, 2010 and 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.

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 LP’s until their Adjusted Capital Contributions have been reduced to zero; and thereafter, 80% to the LPs and 20% to the GP.

The consolidated financial statements and the information and tables contained in the notes thereto as of September 30, 2010 are unaudited.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2010.

The Partnership owns a 100% interest in RRE Funding II, LLC (“Funding”), which owns three subordinated notes with a combined face value of $2.9 million and a carrying amount of $0.

All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership paid $1.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in cash for interest.

Advertising

The Partnership expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.  Advertising costs, which are included in rental operating expenses, totaled $91,000 and $150,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Tenant Receivables

The majority of the Partnership’s receivables are due from tenants.  Tenant receivables are stated in the financial statements at amounts due from tenants net of an allowance for uncollectible receivables.  Payment terms vary and receivables outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due.  The Partnership determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, security deposits held, the Partnership’s 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 both September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there was no allowance for uncollectible receivables required.

All loans are subordinate to first mortgage holders with payment terms of interest only through maturity.  In 2009, 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, discontinued the amortization and accretion of the discount and direct loan fees and costs and provided a specific allowance for each loan during 2009.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Partnership recorded a provision for loan loss of $1.8 million with respect to the Acacia loan.  As of December 31, 2009, the three subordinated loans owned by the Partnership were fully reserved.  At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was approximately $2.6 million.

On September 13, 2008, a check valve failed causing substantial water damage to Memorial Towers.  The repairs to the damaged property, totaling approximately $329,000 were expensed in 2008.  As of September 30, 2010, the Partnership has received a total of $173,000 from the insurance company.  The Partnership is still negotiating with the insurance company on a final settlement, net of a $10,000 deductible.

NOTE 9 – DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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.

Results of Operations

We generate our income from the net revenues we receive from our Properties.  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 during at least the next year.  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 Real Estate Debt Investments no longer generate revenue as a result of borrower defaults.  In 2009, all three of our Real Estate Debt Investments were materially adversely affected by economic conditions in the United States, 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 $2.6 million to fully reserve all three loans.

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 their occupancy rates and concessions granted.  We seek to maximize our occupancy rates through aggressive property-level programs, 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.  As a result of these programs, our Properties experienced an overall increase in the average occupancy rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of approximately 2.9%, with an average occupancy rate of 93.7% as compared to an average occupancy rate during the same period in 2009 of 90.8%.  However, although we experienced an overall increase in the average occupancy rate, two of our properties experienced a decrease during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Foxcroft experienced a 0.3% drop due to normal fluctuations in move-ins and move-outs.  Park Hill Apartments experienced a 2% drop in occupancy to 91.3% due to extraordinary occurrences as detailed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” discussion below.  We have increased tenant concessions and marketing in an attempt to increase occupancy at Park Hill.

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 $5.2 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, potentially, rental rates and our cash flow from operating activities to increase.

Revenues – Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2009

We attribute the $72,000 decrease in revenues to a decrease of $111,000 in interest income from our Real Estate Debt Investments.  We placed the loans on non-accrual and do not expect to receive any revenue from them in 2010.  The decrease was offset, in part, by an increase of $39,000 in rental income principally due to an increase during the three month period of 1.8% in the weighted average occupancy rate for our Properties.

Expenses – Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2009

We attribute the $1.9 million decrease in expenses principally to the following:
 
 
·
a $1.7 million decrease in provision for loan losses; the loans were fully reserved for at December 31, 2009;
 
 
·
a $188,000 decrease in rental operating expenses as a result of reduced real estate tax expense of $138,000 at three of the properties due to successful appeals of their tax assessments, and decreased electricity expense of $44,000 at Memorial Towers, as discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below;
 
 
·
a $43,000 decrease in general and administrative expenses due to a reduction of professional fees at the fund level; partially offset by
 
 
·
a $42,000 increase in depreciation and amortization due to an increase in the amount of personal property at the Properties.

Revenues – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

We attribute the $48,000 decrease to a $256,000 decrease in interest income from our Real Estate Debt Investments.  We have placed the loans on non-accrual and do not expect that we will receive any revenue from them in 2010.  The decrease is offset by a $208,000 increase in rental income principally due to an increase during the nine month period of 2.9% in the weighted average occupancy rate for our Properties.




Expenses – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

We attribute the $2.4 million decrease in expenses principally to the following:
 
 
·
a $538,000 decrease in rental operating expenses as a result of reduced real estate tax expense of $128,000 at three properties due to the successful appeals of their tax assessments, reduced turnover expenses of $93,000 for Villas and Park Hill, decreased utility expenses of $44,000 for Villas and Park Hill, decreased marketing expense of $53,000 and decreased payroll expense of $40,000 due to the completion of successful leasing efforts at Park Hill, as discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below, and decreased electricity expense of $119,000 at Memorial Towers, as discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below;
 
 
·
a $105,000 decrease in general and administrative expenses due to insurance proceeds received from a loss that occurred two years ago at Memorial Towers; and
 
 
·
a $1.7 million decrease in provision for loan loss; the loans were fully reserved for at December 31, 2009; partially offset by
 
 
·
a $73,000 increase in depreciation and amortization due to an increase in the amount of personal property at the properties.

We attribute the $175,000 increase in net interest expense to a modification of the calculation of the effective yield method of amortization of the deferred financing costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 2007 and 2008, we raised a total of $36.8 million through the issuance of limited partnership interests, including $1.8 million from our General Partner.  The funds were used to purchase five properties and three subordinated notes, which completed our asset acquisition phase.

Including changes in operating assets and liabilities

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, a decrease in market rates or local economic conditions including unemployment 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009, two of our Properties incurred one-time expenses, which we do not expect to occur in the future.  At Park Hill, during late 2008 and early 2009, we experienced a decline in occupancy 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.  Park Hill’s average occupancy for the current quarter was 91.3%.  The property is now stabilized.  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.  The project has now been completed and the expense has since decreased.  In addition, significant transition costs were incurred after we acquired the property 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and estimated future capital expenditures which are discretionary in nature (in thousands):

Total
  $ 330     $ 5,154  

We spent $330,000 on capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Funding for future discretionary capital expenditures over the remaining life of the Partnership will come from both the cash reserves established when the properties were purchased and future operating cash flows.  Although our capital expenditures were nominal during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we have planned a series of major capital projects for our Properties, such as repairs and renovations on the HVAC systems, parking improvements, and foundation work.  We review future expenditures periodically and adjust them based on both operating results and local market conditions.  We cannot assure you that we will complete projects currently planned or that we will not change our plans in response to changes in market conditions.

Our restricted cash represents escrow deposits with lenders to be used to pay real estate taxes, insurance and capital improvements.  The $248,000 decrease in the balance from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010 is due to the payment of the 2009 real estate taxes on three of our properties in early 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our General Partner, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our General Partner 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 our General Partner’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, 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 General Partner’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
