Basis of Presentation

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated entities. Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco Operating Partnership and its consolidated entities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and “partner” refers to a partner in a limited partnership or a member of a limited liability company.

Going Concern Basis

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of Aimco and Aimco Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2025 have been derived from their respective audited financial statements at that date, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s and Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Except where indicated, the footnotes refer to both Aimco and Aimco Operating Partnership.

We no longer present a condensed consolidated balance sheet, a condensed consolidated statement of operations, a condensed consolidated statement of equity, or a condensed consolidated statement of cash flows subsequent to January 31, 2026. All financial results and disclosure through January 31, 2026, prior to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, are presented on a going concern basis. As a result, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025, as well as the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity (Partners Capital) and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the month ended January 31, 2026, and the periods ended June 30, 2025, are presented using the going concern basis of accounting.

Liquidation Basis

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 and for the period from February 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026, in accordance with GAAP, as contained within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), including Subtopic 205-30, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” as indicated, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We determined that liquidation became imminent as defined in ASC 205-30, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” based on the results of the Company's solicitation of proxies from its shareholders for their approval of the Plan of Sale and Liquidation. Although shareholder approval of the Plan occurred on February 6, 2026, we adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of and for the periods subsequent to February 1, 2026. Any activity between February 1, 2026, and February 6, 2026, would not be materially different under the liquidation basis of accounting. Accordingly, on February 1, 2026, assets were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value, also referred to as liquidation value, which represents the estimated amount of cash or other consideration that we expect to collect through the disposal of assets. The liquidation values of our remaining assets are presented on an undiscounted basis. Liabilities are generally carried at their contractual amounts due or estimated settlement amounts.

We accrue costs and income that we expect to incur and earn as we carry out our liquidation activities through the end of the projected liquidation period to the extent we have a reasonable basis for estimation. These amounts are classified within Liabilities for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. The valuation of these amounts represent estimates based on present facts and circumstances of the net realizable value of the costs and income associated with carrying out the Plan of Sale and Liquidation. Actual costs and income may differ from amounts reflected in the financial statements because of the inherent uncertainty in estimating future events. These differences may be material. See Note 4 for further discussion.

Actual costs incurred but unpaid are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses at June 30, 2026, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. All our liabilities, under either the going concern basis of accounting or the liquidation basis of accounting, are derecognized when we pay the obligation or when we are legally released from being the primary obligor under the liability.

Net assets in liquidation at June 30, 2026, represents the remaining estimated liquidation value available to stockholders upon liquidation. Due to the uncertainty in the estimated cash flows from operations and the time required to complete the Plan of Sale and Liquidation, actual liquidation costs and sale proceeds may differ materially from the amounts estimated.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of consolidation

We account for joint ventures and other similar entities in which we hold an ownership interest in accordance with the consolidation guidance. We first evaluate whether each entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Under the VIE model, we consolidate an entity in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Significant judgments and assumptions related to these determinations include, but are not limited to, estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions. In addition, when an entity is not a VIE, we consolidate under the voting model when we control an entity through ownership of a majority voting interest.

Aimco consolidates Aimco Operating Partnership, a VIE of which Aimco is the primary beneficiary. Through Aimco Operating Partnership, Aimco consolidates all VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are those of Aimco Operating Partnership.

Aimco Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidates, three VIEs that own interests in real estate. Assets of our consolidated VIEs must first be used to settle the liabilities of those VIEs. The consolidated VIEs' creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Aimco Operating Partnership.

In addition, we have three unconsolidated VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary because we are not their primary decision maker. The three unconsolidated VIEs include the Mezzanine Investment, our passive equity investment in IQHQ, and an unconsolidated investment in land held for development in Bethesda, Maryland. Our maximum exposure to loss, because of our involvement with the unconsolidated VIEs, is limited to the carrying value of their assets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we sold four unconsolidated real estate partnerships that hold four apartment communities in San Diego, California, with our share of the net proceeds totaling $41.9 million, net of transaction costs of $0.9 million.

Real Estate

Real Estate

Liquidation Basis

Upon adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, our investments in real estate were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value. The liquidation value represents the estimated amount of cash that we expect to receive through the disposal of our assets as we carry out the Plan of Sale and Liquidation. We estimated the liquidation value of our real estate investments generally based on either contractual purchase prices or offers received on the properties or, if no contracts or offers had been received yet, on management’s estimate of a property’s liquidation value, taking into account information obtained during the marketing and sale process for the properties, including broker opinions of value, initial market feedback, and market comparables. The liquidation values of our investments in real estate are presented on an undiscounted basis and investments in real estate are no longer depreciated. Subsequent to February 1, 2026, all changes in the estimated liquidation value of the investments in real estate are reflected as a change to our net assets in liquidation.

Subsequent to February 1, 2026, the estimated liquidation value of our investments in real estate increased by $72.9 million, primarily due to the increase in the liquidation value of our one multifamily development project under construction in Miami, Florida. The increase in the estimated liquidation value of our investments in real estate is largely offset by the increase in estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts of $71.4 million, primarily driven by the inclusion of costs through completion of the multifamily development project, resulting in a combined impact on net assets in liquidation of $1.5 million. Refer to Note 4 for additional information regarding the liabilities for costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we sold three consolidated properties in New York City and one consolidated property in Atlanta, Georgia, for a combined sales price of $79.4 million.

Non-recourse property debt, construction loans, and bridge financing

Liquidation Basis

Our non-recourse property debt, construction loans, and bridge financing are recognized at the estimated amount we expect to pay in cash, excluding future accrued interest and principal drawdown amounts, which are recognized within Liabilities for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. Debt issuance costs were written off as a result of the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting. As of June 30, 2026, we have non-recourse property debt of $18.5 million and non-recourse construction loans and bridge financing of $411.6 million presented within Non-recourse property debt, construction loans, and bridge financing in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

Common Noncontrolling Interests in Aimco Operating Partnership

Common noncontrolling interests in Aimco Operating Partnership

Liquidation Basis

Common noncontrolling interests in Aimco Operating Partnership consist of OP Units held by third parties and are reflected in Aimco's accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets as Net assets attributable to noncontrolling interests in Aimco Operating Partnership. The net assets in liquidation is allocated to the holders of OP Units, other than Aimco, based on the number of OP Units (including OP Units held by Aimco) outstanding at the end of the period. As of June 30, 2026, the holders of OP Units had a dilutive economic ownership interest in Aimco Operating Partnership of approximately 4.2%.

Going Concern Basis

Common noncontrolling interests in Aimco Operating Partnership are reflected in Aimco’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Common noncontrolling interests in Aimco Operating Partnership. Aimco Operating Partnership’s income or loss is allocated to the holders of OP Units, other than Aimco, based on the weighted-average number of OP Units (including OP Units held by Aimco) outstanding during the period. For the periods ended January 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, the holders of OP Units had a weighted-average economic ownership interest in Aimco Operating Partnership of approximately 3.4%, and 5.2%, respectively. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Aimco are held by Aimco Operating Partnership.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships

Redeemable noncontrolling interests consist of equity interests held by a limited partner in a consolidated real estate partnership that generally, after a specified holding period, has the right to require such partnership to redeem all or a portion of the noncontrolling interest in accordance with the partnership agreement. The assets of our consolidated real estate partnerships

must first be used to settle the liabilities of the consolidated real estate partnerships. The consolidated real estate partnership’s creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Aimco Operating Partnership.

As of June 30, 2026, redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships consists of the preferred equity interest accruing 14.5% preferred return per annum in an entity that owns a waterfront ground-up development. The preferred equity contributions received and the accrued preferred return through June 30, 2026 are included within Liabilities for noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships in Aimco's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. The preferred return expected to accrue in future periods through the estimated sale date of our interest in the development is included within Liabilities for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships

As of June 30, 2026, noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships consists of the $20.0 million third-party equity interest in a consolidated entity that holds a limited partner interest in a subsidiary that holds our Upton Place property. As of June 30, 2026, the third-party equity interest is presented in Liabilities for noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. The third-party equity interest earns approximately $1.2 million annually, distributed monthly. The distributions expected to occur in future periods through the estimated sale date of the property are included in Liabilities for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

Mezzanine Investment

Mezzanine Investment

In November 2019, Aimco Predecessor made a five-year, $275.0 million mezzanine loan to the partnership owning the “Parkmerced Apartments” located in southwest San Francisco (the “Mezzanine Investment”). The loan bears interest at a 10% annual rate, accruing if not paid from property operations. While legal ownership of the subsidiaries that originated and hold the Mezzanine Investment was retained by AIR following the Separation, AIR is obligated to pass payments received on the Mezzanine Investment to us, and we are obligated to indemnify AIR against any costs and expenses related thereto. We have the risks and rewards of ownership of the Mezzanine Investment.

In June 2023, we closed on the sale of a 20% non-controlling participation in the Mezzanine Investment for $33.5 million. The partial sale and transfer of the financial interest did not qualify for sale accounting and therefore, we recorded the cash received from the purchaser as a liability, which is included in Accrued liabilities and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025 and Mezzanine investment - participation sold in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets as of June 30, 2026. Although the cash received is accounted for as a liability, no amount is due to the purchaser until after we receive $134.0 million plus an annualized return. While the Mezzanine Investment had not been repaid and was in maturity default as of June 30, 2026, we are precluded from derecognizing the liability under both the liquidation basis and going concern basis of accounting until it has been deemed to be extinguished in accordance with GAAP.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Income tax

Liquidation Basis

Certain aspects of our operations are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries, or “TRS entities”. Additionally, our TRS entities hold an investment in Oak Shore.

Income taxes we expect to incur during the execution of the Plan of Sale and Liquidation are included in Liabilities for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

Use of Estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Going Concern Basis

We classify properties as held for sale when they meet the GAAP criteria, which include (among others): (a) management commits to and initiates a plan to sell the asset; (b) the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year under terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; and (c) 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, which is typically indicated by receipt of a significant, non-refundable deposit from the buyer pursuant to a sales contract. We present the assets and liabilities of any properties held for sale separately in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025. Properties held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less the cost to sell. Upon the classification of an asset as held for sale, no further depreciation is recorded.

In connection with the held for sale evaluation, if the disposal or intended disposal represents a strategic shift in operations (e.g., a disposal of a major geographic area or a major line of business) that has, or will have, a major effect on our consolidated financial statements, then the property is presented as discontinued operations. For any property qualifying for classification as discontinued operations, the components of net income (loss) presented as discontinued operations are primarily comprised of rental and other property revenues, property operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, and interest expense. We reclassify interest expense related to property debt within discontinued operations when the related property is sold or classified as held for sale. For periods prior to the property qualifying for discontinued operations, we reclassify the results of operations to discontinued operations. The net gain on sale is presented in discontinued operations when recognized. We combine the operating, investing, and financing portions of cash flows attributable to discontinued operations with respective cash flows from continuing operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 10 for additional information regarding assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted or separately presented, the information disclosed in Note 6 through Note 11 (with the exception of Note 10) refer only to our continuing operations and do not include discussion of balances or activity related to the properties presented within discontinued operations.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents

We classify highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in these accounts in the past and believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk because our accounts are deposited with major financial institutions.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash

Restricted cash consists of tenant security deposits, cash restricted as required by our debt agreements, and cash restricted in association with legal, municipal, federal, or tax requirements. As of June 30, 2026, we had $69.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $8.9 million of restricted cash included within Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. The reconciliation of cash flow information is as follows (in thousands):

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable and other investments

Liquidation Basis

Upon adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, our notes receivable and other investments, including our unconsolidated real estate partnership, were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value. We estimated the liquidation value of the notes receivable at their face value of $85.0 million based on information obtained during the marketing and sale process for the notes.

As of June 30, 2026, other investments of $4.5 million are included within Notes receivable and other investments in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. The remaining unfunded commitments related to our investments in property technology funds are reflected within Liabilities for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

As of June 30, 2026, our unconsolidated real estate partnership of $1.9 million, is included within Notes receivable and other investments in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

Other Assets, net

Other assets, net

Liquidation Basis

Upon adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, deferred costs that will not be converted to cash, such as deferred leasing costs, were written off. Additionally, prepaid expenses and real estate taxes that will not be converted to cash are written off. Corporate fixed assets, and accounts receivable were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value. Our intangible assets were also adjusted to their estimated net realizable value; as the tax abatement contract will be realized in connection with the sale of the associated real estate, it is presented in Real Estate in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

Dividends Payable Dividends payable

At the time of a declaration, we accrue for dividends on our Common Stock and distributions on OP units held by third parties in Dividends payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025 or Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets as of June 30, 2026. The amount accrued includes non-forfeitable and forfeitable dividends on our share-based compensation awards. Forfeitable dividends are not paid unless and until the underlying share-based compensation award vests. As of June 30, 2026, we have a liability of $3.8 million related to certain unvested share-based compensation awards, which will be paid when the requisite service-based and market-based conditions have been achieved or the dual-trigger vesting conditions are met in accordance with the Plan of Sale and Liquidation.
