PART I

Item 1.     Business

Consolidated Capital Properties IV (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was organized on September 22, 1981 as a limited partnership under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  On December 18, 1981, the Partnership commenced a public offering for the sale of 200,000 units (the "Units") with the general partner's right to increase the offering to 400,000 units.  The Units represent equity interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders thereof to participate in certain allocations and distributions of the Partnership. The sale of Units closed on December 14, 1983, with 343,106 Units sold at $500 each, or gross proceeds of $171,553,000 to the Partnership.  Since its initial offering, the Partnership has not received, nor are limited partners required to make, additional capital contributions.

By the end of fiscal year 1985, approximately 73% of the proceeds raised had been invested in 48 properties. Of the remaining 27%, 11% was required for organizational and offering expenses, sales commissions and acquisition fees, and 16% was retained in Partnership reserves for project improvements and working capital as required by the Partnership Agreement.

On April 25, 2008, the Partnership changed its domicile from California to Delaware by merging with and into Consolidated Capital Properties IV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, with the Delaware partnership as the surviving entity in the merger. The merger was undertaken pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 18, 2008, by and between the California partnership and the Delaware partnership.

Under the merger agreement, each unit of limited partnership interest in the California partnership was converted into an identical unit of limited partnership interest in the Delaware partnership and the general partnership interest in the California partnership previously held by the general partner was converted into a general partnership interest in the Delaware partnership. All interests in the Delaware partnership outstanding immediately prior to the merger were cancelled in the merger.

The voting and other rights of the limited partners provided for in the partnership agreement were not changed as a result of the merger. In the merger, the partnership agreement of the California partnership was adopted as the partnership agreement of the Delaware partnership, with the following changes: (i) references therein to the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act were amended to refer to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act; (ii) a description of the merger was added; (iii) the name of the partnership was changed to “Consolidated Capital Properties IV, LP” and (iv) a provision was added that gives the general partner authority to establish different designated series of limited partnership interests that have separate rights with respect to specified partnership property, and profits and losses associated with such specified property.

The general partner of the Partnership is ConCap Equities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "General Partner" or "CEI").  The General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The directors and officers of the General Partner also serve as executive officers of AIMCO.  The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2011 unless terminated prior to that date. The Partnership Agreement also provides that the term of the Partnership cannot be extended beyond the termination date. The General Partner is currently evaluating its plans with respect to the Partnership’s three properties.

The Partnership's primary business and only industry segment is real estate related operations.  The Partnership is engaged in the business of operating and holding real estate properties for investment.  As of the close of fiscal year 1985, the Partnership had completed its property acquisition stage and had acquired 48 properties. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership owned 3 income-producing properties (or interests therein), which are located in Tennessee.  Prior to 2009, the Partnership had disposed of 45 properties originally owned by the Partnership. See "Item 2. Properties" for further information about the Partnership's remaining properties.

The Partnership has no employees. Property management and administrative services are provided by the General Partner and by agents of the General Partner.  The General Partner has also selected an affiliate to provide real estate advisory and asset management services to the Partnership.  As advisor, such affiliate provides all Partnership accounting and administrative services, investment management, and supervisory services over property management and leasing.

A further description of the Partnership's business is included in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in this Form 10-K.

Transfers of Control

Upon the Partnership's formation in 1981, Consolidated Capital Equities Corporation ("CCEC"), a Colorado corporation, was the corporate general partner and Consolidated Capital Management Company ("CCMC"), a California general partnership, was the non-corporate general partner.  In 1988, through a series of transactions, Southmark Corporation ("Southmark") acquired a controlling interest in CCEC.  In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  In 1990, as part of its reorganization plan, CEI acquired CCEC's general partner interests in the Partnership and in 15 other affiliated public limited partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships") and CEI replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16 partnerships.  The selection of CEI as the sole managing general partner was approved by a majority of the Limited Partners in the Partnership and in each of the affiliated partnerships pursuant to a solicitation of the Limited Partners dated August 10, 1990.  As part of this solicitation, the Limited Partners also approved an amendment to the Partnership Agreement to limit changes of control of the Partnership, and the conversion of CCMC from a general partner to a special limited partner, thereby leaving CEI as the sole general partner of the Partnership. On November 14, 1990, CCMC was dissolved and its special limited partnership interest was divided among its former partners.  All of CEI's outstanding stock is owned by AIMCO.

Item 2.     Properties

The Partnership originally acquired 48 properties of which twenty-five (25) were sold, ten (10) were conveyed to lenders in lieu of foreclosure, and ten (10) were foreclosed upon by the lenders. As of December 31, 2010, the Partnership owned three (3) apartment complexes.  Additional information about the properties is found in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data".

(1)   Property is held by a limited partnership and/or limited liability corporation in which the Partnership owns a 100% interest.

(2)   Property is held by a limited partnership in which the Partnership owns a 99% interest.

On December 8, 2010, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of Arbours of Hermitage Apartments for approximately $17,000,000. On January 19, 2011, the purchaser terminated the sale contract according to the terms of the contract. On January 28, 2011, the termination was rescinded and the sale contract was reinstated with a projected close during the first quarter of 2011. On March 1, 2011, the purchaser terminated the reinstated sale contract according to the terms of the contract. The Partnership has determined that certain held for sale criteria have not been met at December 31, 2010 and therefore continues to report the assets and liabilities of the investment property as held for investment and its respective operations as continuing operations.

Schedule of Properties

Set forth below for each of the Partnership’s properties is the gross carrying value, accumulated depreciation, depreciable life, method of depreciation and Federal tax basis.

See "Note A – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for a description of the Partnership's capitalization and depreciation policies.

Schedule of Property Indebtedness

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the loans encumbering the Partnership's properties.

(a)            Fixed rate mortgage.

(b)   See “Note C – Mortgage Notes Payable” to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for information with respect to the Partnership’s ability to prepay these loans and other specific details about the loans.

In January 2009, the Partnership received a loan of approximately $11,125,000 from AIMCO Properties, L.P. (the “Affiliate Loan”) to pay in full the previous mortgage loan encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments, which at the time of the payoff had a principal balance of approximately $11,078,000.  The Affiliate Loan was unsecured and bore interest at 6.0%.  On February 19, 2009, the Partnership obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $19,350,000 on 865 Bellevue Apartments.  The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.344% per annum, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $120,000 beginning on April 1, 2009 through the mortgage loan’s March 1, 2019 maturity date. The mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $16,373,000 due at maturity. The Partnership may prepay the mortgage loan at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.  The Partnership used approximately $11,200,000 of the net proceeds received from the February 19, 2009 mortgage loan to pay in full the Affiliate Loan.  In connection with obtaining the loan, the Partnership incurred loan costs of approximately $234,000 which were capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2009 and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Rental Rates and Occupancy

The following table sets forth the average annual rental rates and occupancy for 2010 and 2009 for each property.

(1)   ­­­­­­The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at 865 Bellevue Apartments and Post Ridge Apartments to competitive pricing of units in the Nashville area.

The real estate industry is highly competitive.  All of the properties are subject to competition from other residential apartment complexes in the area.  The General Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately insured.  Each property is an apartment complex which leases units for lease terms of one year or less.  No residential tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space.  All of the properties are in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age.

Real Estate Taxes and Rates

Real estate taxes and rates in 2010 for each property were:

Capital Improvements

Arbours of Hermitage Apartments

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $1,135,000 of capital improvements at Arbours of Hermitage Apartments consisting primarily of water heaters, HVAC upgrades, kitchen and bath resurfacing, appliance and floor covering replacements and construction related to the fire damage discussed in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note F”. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow, advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. and insurance proceeds. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2011. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

865 Bellevue Apartments

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $171,000 of capital improvements at 865 Bellevue Apartments consisting primarily of water and sewer upgrades and appliance and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2011. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

Post Ridge Apartments

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership completed approximately $765,000 of capital improvements at Post Ridge Apartments consisting primarily of kitchen and bath resurfacing, structural improvements, retaining wall construction, appliance and floor covering replacements and swimming pool replacement. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow, advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. and replacement reserves. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2011. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property and replacement reserves.

Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership cash reserves or advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership’s distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

Item 3.     Legal Proceedings

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”). The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company (“the Defendants”) failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”). In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action.  In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions.  In the second quarter of 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts were dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $37,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment properties. During January 2011, the parties reached an agreement to settle the remaining “on-call claims” and the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. The Partnership will be required to pay an additional amount of approximately $32,000 for settlement amounts to employees who worked at the Partnership’s investment properties for requiring the employees to respond to on-call emergencies and approximately $77,000 for plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees.  These settlement amounts and attorneys’ fees totaling approximately $109,000 have been accrued as of December 31, 2010.  These settlements resolve the case in its entirety.

PART II

Item 5.     Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

No established trading market for the Partnership's limited partnership units (the “Units”) exists, nor is one expected to develop.

There were 342,759 Units outstanding at December 31, 2010, of which affiliates of the General Partner owned 237,778.50 Units or approximately 69.37%.

The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per unit data).

(1)   Sale proceeds from the 2008 sale of Belmont Place Apartments.

(2)   Financing proceeds from the 2009 financing of 865 Bellevue Apartments.

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, and the timing of debt maturities, refinancings, and/or property sales. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after required capital improvement expenditures to permit any distributions to its partners in 2011 or subsequent periods. See "Item 2. Capital Improvements” for information relating to anticipated capital expenditures at the properties.

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 237,778.50 Units in the Partnership representing 69.37% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2010.  A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 69.37% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Item 7.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This item should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report.

The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment properties, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment properties, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively affect the Partnership’s financial results.

Results of Operations

The Partnership recognized net losses of approximately $2,218,000 and $3,502,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 is due to increases in total revenues and casualty gains and a decrease in total expenses, partially offset by an increase in loss from discontinued operations.

Total revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to increases in interest and other income, partially offset by a decrease in rental income. The increase in interest income is primarily due to the Partnership’s collection of the note receivable related to the 2008 sale of Belmont Place prior to its maturity which resulted in the Partnership recognizing approximately $701,000 of interest income equal to the unamortized discount on the note at the time of collection (see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note H). The increase in other income is due to an increase in utility and trash service reimbursements at all of the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by a decrease in lease cancellation fees at all of the Partnership’s investment properties. The decrease in rental income is primarily due to decreases in the average rental rates at all of the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by increases in occupancy at 865 Bellevue Apartments and Post Ridge Apartments.

Total expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to decreases in operating, general and administrative and property tax expenses, partially offset by increases in depreciation and interest expenses. Operating expenses decreased due to decreases in salaries and related benefits and washer and dryer rental expenses at all of the Partnership’s investment properties, partially offset by increases in utility and telemarketing costs, consulting fees related to real estate tax appeals at all of the Partnership’s investment properties, clean up costs associated with the May 2010 storm damages at Post Ridge Apartments and clean up and repair costs associated with water damage at all of the Partnership’s investment properties. Property tax expense decreased due to a reduction in the assessed value of all of the Partnership’s investment properties in 2010. Also contributing to the decrease in property tax expense is the receipt of refunds related to the successful appeal of the 2009 assessed value of all of the Partnership’s investment properties. Depreciation expense increased primarily due to assets being placed into service at Post Ridge Apartments and Arbours of Hermitage Apartments over the past year. Interest expense increased due to a higher debt balance as a result of the February 2009 refinancing of the mortgage encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments and additional loan cost amortization related to all of the Partnership’s mortgage loans, partially offset by a decrease in the payment of interest incurred in connection with the escheatment of unclaimed distributions during 2009.

General and administrative expenses decreased due to the payment of a special management fee earned in connection with the 2009 operating distribution paid during the year ended December 31, 2009 and decreases in costs incurred with respect to investor communications and the annual audit and tax return preparation costs. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement.

In December 2008, Arbours of Hermitage Apartments suffered fire damage to four rental units. The estimated cost to repair the damaged units was approximately $195,000. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership incurred approximately $37,000 in clean up costs, which are included in operating expense. Insurance proceeds of approximately $235,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2009, including approximately $14,000 for lost rents which is included in rental income and approximately $26,000 for emergency expenses which is included in operating expense. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $195,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.  No additional insurance proceeds are expected to be received related to this casualty.

In February 2009, Arbours of Hermitage Apartments suffered wind damage to the roof of one of its buildings.  The estimated cost to repair the damaged units was approximately $9,000.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership incurred approximately $13,000 in clean up costs, which are included in operating expense. Insurance proceeds of approximately $9,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2009. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $9,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership recognized an additional casualty gain of approximately $4,000 due to the receipt of additional insurance proceeds.

In September 2009, Arbours of Hermitage Apartments suffered water damage to its property as a result of severe rain storms and flooding.  The cost to repair the damage was approximately $18,000. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $15,000 related to this casualty and recognized a casualty gain of approximately $15,000 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.

In November 2009, Arbours of Hermitage Apartments suffered fire damage to several of its buildings. The estimated cost to repair the damaged buildings is approximately $1,350,000, including approximately $41,000 of clean up costs and $104,000 for lost rents. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership incurred approximately $41,000 of clean up costs which are included in operating expense and are offset by insurance proceeds of approximately $36,000. Insurance proceeds of approximately $812,000 were received during the year ended December 31, 2010, which included approximately $36,000 for clean-up costs. Insurance proceeds received of approximately $181,000 are currently held in escrow with the mortgage lender. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $776,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty. The Partnership anticipates receiving additional proceeds related to this casualty during 2011.

In January 2010, Arbours of Hermitage Apartments suffered water damage to its property as a result of severe rain storms. The cost to repair the damage was approximately $18,000. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $7,000 related to this casualty and recognized a casualty gain of approximately $7,000 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty.

During May 2010, all of the Partnership’s investment properties incurred damages from a severe rain storm. The damages at 865 Bellevue Apartments consist of water leaks in several of the apartment units. The cost to repair the units and improve drainage is approximately $2,000 which is included in operating expenses. No additional insurance proceeds are expected to be received related to this casualty. The damages at Arbours of Hermitage Apartments consist of water leaks and downed trees. The cost to repair the units and clean up the landscaping damage is approximately $20,000. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $19,000 related to this casualty and recognized a casualty gain of approximately $19,000 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty. No additional insurance proceeds are expected to be received related to this casualty. The damages at Post Ridge Apartments consist of water leaks to several of the apartment units, downed trees and land erosion. The estimate of the cost to repair the units and clean up the landscaping damage is approximately $45,000 at December 31, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $45,000, of which approximately $43,000 is for costs associated with the repair of the damaged units and clean up of the landscaping damage and is included as an offset to operating expenses. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $2,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010 as the damaged assets were fully depreciated at the time of the casualty. Additional costs of approximately $240,000 are expected to be incurred related to addressing the land erosion. The Partnership will not receive any insurance proceeds for these additional costs. As of December 31, 2010 the Partnership had incurred approximately $147,000 in capital expenditures and approximately $43,000 of costs included in operating expenses associated with the land erosion. The Partnership expects to incur the remaining $40,000 associated with remedying the land erosion during 2011.

Included in loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 is approximately $109,000 for settlement and legal costs associated with Belmont Place and the settlement of legal proceedings, as discussed in Item 3 – Legal Proceedings for Belmont Place Apartments. Included in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 is income of approximately $28,000 from Belmont Place Apartments related to the collection of receivables deemed uncollectible at December 31, 2008. Belmont Place Apartments was sold to a third party in December 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2010, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,378,000, compared to approximately $99,000 at December 31, 2009. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,279,000 from December 31, 2009 is due to approximately $1,175,000 and $808,000 of cash provided by investing and operating activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $704,000 of cash used in financing activities. Cash provided by investing activities consisted of collection of the note receivable related to the 2008 sale of Belmont Place and insurance proceeds received, partially offset by property improvements and replacements and deposits to restricted escrows. Cash used in financing activities consisted of payments made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership’s investment properties and repayment of advances from an affiliate of the General Partner, partially offset by advances received from an affiliate of the General Partner.

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $1,189,000 and $11,719,000 during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The advances received during the year ended December 31, 2010 were made to assist with the payment of real estate taxes and operations for all of the Partnership’s investment properties and capital expenditures at two of its investment properties. The advances received during the year ended December 31, 2009 were made to assist with the repayment of the mortgage and associated accrued interest encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments, during January 2009, and operations at the three remaining investment properties. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P. approximately $1,465,000, which included approximately $86,000 of interest with operating cash flow and proceeds from the collection of the note receivable related to the December 2008 sale of Belmont Place (see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note H”). During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P. approximately $12,245,000, which included approximately $87,000 of interest. Interest on the 2009 advance of approximately $11,125,000 was charged at 6.00%, while interest on the 2010 and the remaining 2009 advances was charged at a variable rate based on the market rate for similar type loans. Affiliates of the General Partner review the market rate quarterly. Interest expense was approximately $85,000 and $82,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the amount of outstanding loans and associated accrued interest owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P. was approximately $191,000 and is included in due to affiliates. There were no outstanding loans or accrued interest owed at December 31, 2010. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheets, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements.  The General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of its investment properties. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2011. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the properties as well as replacement reserves and cash flow generated by the properties. Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership reserves or advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership’s distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected in the short term.

The Partnership anticipates that exclusive of capital improvements and casualty repairs due to the November 2009 fire at Arbours of Hermitage Apartments, operating cash flows in 2011 will be generally sufficient for the Partnership to meet its current obligations in 2011 including 2011 debt service. If cash flows are insufficient for the Partnership to meet its obligations in 2011, the Partnership may request additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Partnership’s investment properties of approximately $34,971,000 matures at various dates between 2015 and 2022 with balloon payments of approximately $8,964,000, $16,373,000, $1,644,000 and $3,086,000 due in 2015, 2019, 2020 and 2022, respectively. Since the Partnership’s term will expire on December 31, 2011 and the term cannot be extended, the General Partner is currently evaluating its plans with respect to the Partnership’s three properties. The General Partner may attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to termination of the Partnership.

In January 2009, the Partnership received a loan of approximately $11,125,000 from AIMCO Properties, L.P. (the “Affiliate Loan”) to pay in full the previous mortgage loan encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments, which at the time of the payoff had a principal balance of approximately $11,078,000.  The Affiliate Loan was unsecured and bore interest at 6.0%.  On February 19, 2009, the Partnership obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $19,350,000 on 865 Bellevue Apartments.  The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.344% per annum, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $120,000 beginning on April 1, 2009 through the mortgage loan’s March 1, 2019 maturity date. The mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $16,373,000 due at maturity. The Partnership may prepay the mortgage loan at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.  The Partnership used approximately $11,200,000 of the net proceeds received from the February 19, 2009 mortgage loan to pay in full the Affiliate Loan.  In connection with obtaining the loan, the Partnership incurred loan costs of approximately $234,000 which were capitalized during the year ended of December 31, 2009 and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per unit data):

(1)   Sale proceeds from the 2008 sale of Belmont Place Apartments.

(2)   Financing proceeds from the 2009 financing of 865 Bellevue Apartments.

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, and the timing of debt maturities, refinancings, and/or property sales. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after required capital improvement expenditures to permit any distributions to its partners in 2011 or subsequent periods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A summary of the Partnership's significant accounting policies is included in "Note A – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data". The General Partner believes that the consistent application of these policies enables the Partnership to provide readers of the consolidated financial statements with useful and reliable information about the Partnership's operating results and financial condition.  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Partnership's accounting policies in many areas. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Investment properties are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property.   If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk.  Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership’s investment properties.  These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing; and changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. Any adverse changes in these and other factors could cause an impairment of the Partnership’s assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.  The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area.  Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

Assets Held for Sale

The Partnership classifies long-lived assets as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset; the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated; the sale of the asset is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year; the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Depreciation is not recorded during the period in which the long-lived asset is classified as held for sale.  When the asset is designated as held for sale, the related results of operations are presented as discontinued operations.

The Partners

Consolidated Capital Properties IV, LP

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Consolidated Capital Properties IV, LP as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Consolidated Capital Properties IV, LP at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership Agreement provides for the Partnership to terminate December 31, 2011.  This raises substantial doubt about the Partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note A. The 2010 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization: Consolidated Capital Properties IV (the "Partnership" or "Registrant"), a California limited partnership, was formed on September 22, 1981, to operate and hold real estate properties.  The general partner of the Partnership is ConCap Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner" or "CEI"), a Delaware corporation. Additionally, the General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.  The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2011 unless terminated prior to that date. The Partnership Agreement also provides that the term of the Partnership cannot be extended beyond the termination date. As of December 31, 2010, the Partnership operates three residential properties which are located in Tennessee. The General Partner is currently evaluating its plans with respect to the Partnership’s three properties.

On April 25, 2008, the Partnership changed its domicile from California to Delaware by merging with and into Consolidated Capital Properties IV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, with the Delaware partnership as the surviving entity in the merger. The merger was undertaken pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 18, 2008, by and between the California partnership and the Delaware partnership.

Under the merger agreement, each unit of limited partnership interest in the California partnership was converted into an identical unit of limited partnership interest in the Delaware partnership and the general partnership interest in the California partnership previously held by the general partner was converted into a general partnership interest in the Delaware partnership. All interests in the Delaware partnership outstanding immediately prior to the merger were cancelled in the merger.

The voting and other rights of the limited partners provided for in the partnership agreement were not changed as a result of the merger. In the merger, the partnership agreement of the California partnership was adopted as the partnership agreement of the Delaware partnership, with the following changes: (i) references therein to the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act were amended to refer to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act; (ii) a description of the merger was added; (iii) the name of the partnership was changed to “Consolidated Capital Properties IV, LP” and (iv) a provision was added that gives the general partner authority to establish different designated series of limited partnership interests that have separate rights with respect to specified partnership property, and profits and losses associated with such specified property.

Going Concern: The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2011 unless terminated prior to such date. Since the Partnership’s term will expire on December 31, 2011 and the term cannot be extended, the General Partner is currently evaluating its plans with respect to the Partnership’s three properties. The 2010 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Subsequent Event:  The Partnership’s management evaluated subsequent events through the time this Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed.

Consolidation: The Partnership's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership, its wholly-owned partnerships, and its 99% limited partnership interest in Post Ridge Associates, Ltd. and Foothill Chimney Associates, L.P.  The Partnership may remove the general partner of its 99% owned partnerships; therefore, the partnerships are deemed controlled and therefore consolidated by the Partnership.  All significant interpartnership balances have been eliminated.

Basis of Presentation:  On December 8, 2010, the Partnership entered into a sale contract with a third party relating to the sale of Arbours of Hermitage Apartments for approximately $17,000,000. On January 19, 2011, the purchaser terminated the sale contract according to the terms of the contract. On January 28, 2011, the termination was rescinded and the sale contract was reinstated with a projected close during the first quarter of 2011. On March 1, 2011, the purchaser terminated the reinstated sale contract according to the terms of the contract. The Partnership has determined that certain held for sale criteria have not been met at December 31, 2010 and therefore continues to report the assets and liabilities of the investment property as held for investment and its respective operations as continuing operations.

Included in loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 is a loss of approximately $109,000 for settlement and legal costs associated with Belmont Place Apartments, as discussed in “Note I – Contingencies”. Included in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 is income of approximately $28,000 from Belmont Place Apartments related to the collection of receivables deemed uncollectible at December 31, 2008. Belmont Place Apartments was sold to a third party in December 2008.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2009 balances to conform to the 2010 presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks.  At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits. Cash balances include approximately $1,220,000 and $7,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, that are maintained by an affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in a cash concentration account.

Security Deposits: The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease and such deposits are included in receivables and deposits.  Deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged the space and is current on rental payments.

Restricted Escrows: In connection with the 2007 additional financing obtained on Post Ridge Apartments, the lender requires monthly deposits of approximately $3,800 to a replacement reserve account.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the replacement reserve account balance was approximately $15,000 and $8,000, respectively.

Also included in restricted escrows at December 31, 2010 is approximately $181,000 of insurance proceeds held by the mortgage lender of Arbours of Hermitage Apartments for clean-up and reconstruction costs associated with the November 2009 fire at the property.

Investments in Real Estate:  Investment properties consists of three apartment complexes and are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital additions activities, including redevelopment and construction projects, other tangible property improvements and replacements of existing property components. Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital additions activities at the property level.  The Partnership capitalizes interest, property taxes and insurance during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress. There were no construction period expenses capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. The Partnership charges to expense as incurred costs that do not relate to capital additions activities, including ordinary repairs, maintenance and resident turnover costs.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property.   If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. No adjustments for impairment of value were necessary for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Depreciation: Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the investment properties and related personal property. For Federal income tax purposes, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation of (1) real property additions over 27 1/2 years and (2) personal property additions over 5 years.

Leases: The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.  The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area.  Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

Deferred Costs: Loan costs of approximately $686,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 net of accumulated amortization of approximately $459,000 and $232,000 are included in other assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Prior to October 1, 2009, the loan costs were amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements. As of October 1, 2009, the Partnership changed its estimate of the useful life of the loan costs to better reflect the remaining useful life of these assets. The Partnership’s term expires December 31, 2011, which is prior to the maturity of the mortgage notes payable. The General Partner unsuccessfully pursued extending the Partnership term. Therefore, the Partnership determined that the loan costs should be amortized over the remaining life of the Partnership. Prior to the change in estimate, the loan costs would have been fully amortized in 2022, the dates the mortgage notes payable mature. Amortization of loan costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and was approximately $227,000 and $93,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $227,000 in 2011.

Leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases. Amortization of these costs is included in operating expenses.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for mortgage notes payable) approximates their fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its mortgage notes payable by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be available to the Partnership for similar term, mortgage notes payable. At December 31, 2010, the fair value of the Partnership's mortgage notes payable at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate was approximately $36,698,000.

Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss: The Partnership Agreement provides for income (losses) and distributions of distributable cash from operations to be allocated generally 96% to the Limited Partners and 4% to the General Partner. Gain on sale of investment properties is allocated among the partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

Net (Loss) Income Per Limited Partnership Unit: Net (loss) income per Limited Partnership Unit is computed by dividing net (loss) income allocated to the Limited Partners by the number of Units outstanding. Per Unit information has been computed based on the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of each year.

Abandoned Units: During 2010 and 2009, the number of limited partnership units decreased by 4 and 10 units, respectively, due to limited partners abandoning their units. In abandoning his or her partnership units, a limited partner relinquishes all right, title and interest in the Partnership as of the date of the abandonment.

Segment Reporting: ASC Topic 280-10, “Segment Reporting”, established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. ASC Topic 280-10 also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. As defined in ASC Topic 280-10, the Partnership has only one reportable segment.

Advertising Costs: Advertising costs of approximately $165,000 and $157,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively, are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expense.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and for reimbursements of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from all of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $409,000 for both the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, which is included in operating expenses. 

Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $233,000 and $249,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses and investment properties. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $85,000 and $112,000, respectively. Additionally, in connection with a redevelopment project at 865 Bellevue Apartments completed at December 31, 2008, an affiliate of the General Partner received a redevelopment supervision fee of 4% of the actual redevelopment costs incurred.  The Partnership was charged approximately $37,000 in redevelopment supervision fees during the year ended December 31, 2009, which are included in investment properties. There were no redevelopment supervision fees charged during the year ended December 31, 2010.

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $1,189,000 and $11,719,000 during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The advances received during the year ended December 31, 2010 were made to assist with the payment of real estate taxes and operations for all of the Partnership’s investment properties and capital expenditures at two of its investment properties. The advances received during the year ended December 31, 2009 were made to assist with the repayment of the mortgage and associated accrued interest encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments, during January 2009, and operations at the three remaining investment properties. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P. approximately $1,465,000, which included approximately $86,000 of interest with operating cash flow and proceeds from the collection of the note receivable related to the December 2008 sale of Belmont Place (see Note H). During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership repaid AIMCO Properties, L.P. approximately $12,245,000, which included approximately $87,000 of interest. Interest on the 2009 advance of approximately $11,125,000 was charged at 6.00%, while interest on the 2010 and the remaining 2009 advances was charged at a variable rate based on the market rate for similar type loans. Affiliates of the General Partner review the market rate quarterly. Interest expense was approximately $85,000 and $82,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the amount of outstanding loans and associated accrued interest owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P. was approximately $191,000 and is included in due to affiliates. There were no outstanding loans or accrued interest owed at December 31, 2010. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheets, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Partnership Agreement provides for a special management fee equal to 9% of the total distributions made to the limited partners from cash flow provided by operations to be paid to the General Partner for executive and administrative management services.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership paid approximately $93,000 for a special management fee in connection with an operating distribution made to the partners. There were no such special management fees paid or earned during the year ended December 31, 2010.

For acting as real estate broker in connection with the sale of South Port Apartments in 2003, the General Partner was paid a real estate commission of approximately $295,000.  When the Partnership terminates, the General Partner will have to return this commission if the limited partners do not receive their original invested capital plus a 6% per annum cumulative return.

The Partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $229,000 and $185,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 237,778.5 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 69.37% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2010.  A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 69.37% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Note C - Mortgage Notes Payable

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the loans encumbering the Partnership's properties.

(a)   Fixed rate mortgage.

(b)   Maturity date of the mortgage notes payable extends past the termination date of the Partnership which is December 31, 2011.

The notes payable represent borrowings on the properties purchased by the Partnership. The notes are non-recourse, and are collateralized by deeds of trust on the investment properties. The notes mature between 2015 and 2022 with balloon payments of approximately $8,964,000, $16,373,000, $1,644,000, and $3,086,000 due in 2015, 2019, 2020 and 2022, respectively. Various mortgages require prepayment penalties if repaid prior to maturity. Further, the properties may not be sold subject to existing indebtedness.

In January 2009, the Partnership received a loan of approximately $11,125,000 from AIMCO Properties, L.P. (the “Affiliate Loan”) to pay in full the previous mortgage loan encumbering 865 Bellevue Apartments, which at the time of the payoff had a principal balance of approximately $11,078,000.  The Affiliate Loan was unsecured and bore interest at 6.0%.  On February 19, 2009, the Partnership obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $19,350,000 on 865 Bellevue Apartments.  The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.344% per annum, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $120,000 beginning on April 1, 2009 through the mortgage loan’s March 1, 2019 maturity date. The mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $16,373,000 due at maturity. The Partnership may prepay the mortgage loan at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.  The Partnership used approximately $11,200,000 of the net proceeds received from the February 19, 2009 mortgage loan to pay in full the Affiliate Loan.  In connection with obtaining the loan, the Partnership incurred loan costs of approximately $234,000 which were capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2009 and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

While the Partnership termination date is December 31, 2011 scheduled principal payments of the mortgage notes payable subsequent to December 31, 2010, are as follows (in thousands):

There were no distributions declared during 2010.

Note H – Note Receivable

In connection with the sale of Belmont Place in December 2008, the Partnership provided partial financing of $2,250,000 to the purchaser.  Monthly payments of interest only commenced February 1, 2009 and were to continue through November 1, 2034, which is consistent with the maturity of the senior mortgage loan on Belmont Place that was assumed by the purchaser in connection with the sale. The entire principal balance of the note was due at maturity.

Note I - Contingencies

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”). The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company (“the Defendants”) failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”). In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action.  In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions.  In the second quarter of 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts were dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $37,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment properties. During January 2011, the parties reached an agreement to settle the remaining “on-call claims” and the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. The Partnership will be required to pay an additional amount of approximately $32,000 for settlement amounts to employees who worked at the Partnership’s investment properties for requiring the employees to respond to on-call emergencies and approximately $77,000 for plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees.  These settlement amounts and attorneys’ fees totaling approximately $109,000 have been accrued as of December 31, 2010.  These settlements resolve the case in its entirety.

The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment properties that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

Environmental

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials  present on a property, including lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based fuels, and other miscellaneous materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, these materials may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the improper management of these materials on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of these materials through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of these materials is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of its properties, the Partnership could potentially be responsible for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its properties.    

Mold

The Partnership is aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements.  The Partnership has only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure.  Affiliates of the General Partner have implemented policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the General Partner believes that these measures will prevent or eliminate mold exposure and will minimize the effects that mold may have on residents. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership incurred costs of approximately $744,000 and $732,000, respectively, related to mold removal in connection with repairs to apartment units at the Partnership’s investment properties. Prior to 2009, the Partnership had incurred and expensed approximately $1,559,000 related to the mold removal in some of its apartment units in connection with other repairs or renovations. The Partnership cannot estimate the amount, if any, of these future costs. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change the General Partner can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Item 9.     Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9a.    Controls and Procedures

(a)   Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Partnership’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, and effected by the Partnership’s management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

·         pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;

·         provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Partnership’s management; and

·         provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

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.

The Partnership’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.  In making this assessment, the Partnership’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on their assessment, the Partnership’s management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(b)   Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from all of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services.

For acting as real estate broker in connection with the sale of South Port Apartments in 2003, the General Partner was paid a real estate commission of approximately $295,000.  When the Partnership terminates, the General Partner will have to return this commission if the limited partners do not receive their original invested capital plus a 6% per annum cumulative return.

The Partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $229,000 and $185,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 237,778.5 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 69.37% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2010.  A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 69.37% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Neither of the General Partner’s directors is independent under the independence standards established for New York Stock Exchange listed companies as both directors are employed by the parent of the General Partner.

Item 14.    Principal Accounting Fees and Services

The General Partner has reappointed Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership for 2011.  The aggregate fees billed for services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP for 2010 and 2009 are described below.

Audit Fees.  Fees for audit services totaled approximately $57,000 and $56,000 for 2010 and 2009, respectively. Fees for audit services also include fees for the reviews of the Partnership’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Tax Fees.  Fees for tax services totaled approximately $20,000 and $29,000 for 2010 and 2009, respectively.
