OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,
a California Limited Partnership

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of the management of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership, (the “Partnership”) the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information included therein. Certain information and footnote disclosures presented in the Partnership’s annual consolidated financial statements are not included in these interim financial statements.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2010. The Partnership evaluates subsequent events up to the date it files its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its majority- and wholly-owned limited liability companies (see notes 3, 4 and 5). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Partnership is in the business of providing mortgage lending services and manages its business as one operating segment.

Certain reclassifications, not affecting previously reported net income or total partner capital, have been made to the previously issued consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates relate principally to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, including the valuation of impaired loans, the valuation of real estate held for sale and investment, and the estimate of the environmental remediation liability (see note 3).  Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
 
Income Taxes
 
No provision for federal and state income taxes is made in the consolidated financial statements since the Partnership is not a taxable entity.  Accordingly, any income or loss is included in the tax returns of the partners.
 
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Partnership has elected to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in other expenses. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, at March 31, 2010 is zero. The amount of tax benefits that would impact the effective rate, if recognized, is expected to be zero. The Partnership does not anticipate any significant changes with respect to unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 
Loans Secured by Trust Deeds

Loans secured by trust deeds are stated at the principal amount outstanding. The Partnership’s portfolio consists primarily of commercial real estate loans generally collateralized by first, second and third deeds of trust.  Interest income on loans is accrued by the simple interest method. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the borrowers are past due greater than ninety days or when full payment of principal and interest is not expected. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest remains accrued until the loan becomes current, is paid off or is foreclosed upon. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Cash receipts on nonaccrual loans are recorded as interest income, except when such payments are specifically designated as principal reduction or when management does not believe the Partnership’s investment in the loan is fully recoverable.

Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
 
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
 
The allowance consists of specific and general components.  For the specific component, an allowance is established on an impaired loan when the probable ultimate recovery of the carrying amount of a loan is less than amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The carrying amount of the loan is reduced to the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. If a loan is collateral dependent, it is valued by management at the estimated fair value of the related collateral, less estimated selling costs. Estimated collateral values are determined based on third party appraisals, broker price opinions, comparable property sales or other indications of value. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due, including interest and principal, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when monthly payments are delinquent greater than 90 days. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral, if collateral dependent.
 
Real Estate Held for Sale and Investment

Real estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and is initially stated at the property’s estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.
 
Depreciation of real estate properties held for investment is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of buildings and improvements (5-39 years). Depreciation of tenant improvements is provided on the straight-line method over the lives of the related leases.  Costs related to the improvement of real estate held for sale and investment are capitalized, whereas those costs related to holding the property are expensed.
 
The Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of real estate held for investment to expected future cash flows as determined by internally or third party generated valuations for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are reduced to fair value.

OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Partnership reclassifies real estate properties from held for investment to held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: 1) Management commits to a plan to sell the property; 2) The property is available for immediate sale in its present condition; 3) An active program to locate a buyer has been initiated; 4) The sale of the property is probable and the transfer of the property is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year; and 5) Actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn.
 
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely, and, as a result, the Partnership decides not to sell a real estate property classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified to held for investment. The property is then measured individually at the lower of its carrying amount, adjusted for depreciation or amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held for investment, or its fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
ASU No. 2010-06

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This ASU requires new disclosures with respect to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and that Level 3 fair value measurements present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (on a gross basis). In addition, the ASU requires reporting entities to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 (except certain disclosures about Level 3 activity which is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010). The implementation of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s fair value disclosures.

The Partnership’s loan portfolio above includes Construction Loans and Rehabilitation Loans. Construction Loans are determined by the General Partner to be those loans made to borrowers for the construction of entirely new structures or dwellings, whether residential, commercial or multifamily properties.  The General Partner has approved the borrowers up to a maximum loan balance; however, disbursements are made in phases throughout the construction process.  As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Partnership held Construction Loans totaling approximately $0 and $7,781,000, respectively, and had commitments to disburse an additional $0 and $13,000, respectively, on Construction Loans. Certain loans that were previously classified as Construction Loans were removed from this classification as of March 31, 2010 because construction has been completed and/or all remaining holdback funds have been disbursed to the borrowers.

The Partnership also makes loans, the proceeds of which are used to remodel, add to and/or rehabilitate an existing structure or dwelling, whether residential, commercial or multifamily properties, or are used to complete improvements to land.  The General Partner has determined that these are not Construction Loans.   These loans are referred to as Rehabilitation Loans. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Partnership held Rehabilitation Loans totaling approximately $20,576,000 and $53,178,000, respectively, and had commitments to disburse an additional $629,000 and $655,000, respectively, on Rehabilitation Loans. Certain loans that were previously classified as Rehabilitation Loans were removed from this classification as of March 31, 2010 because rehabilitation has been completed and/or all remaining holdback funds have been disbursed to the borrowers. Rehabilitation Loans are categorized within Commercial and Condominiums for $9,592,000 and $10,984,000, respectively, as of March 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s loans secured by deeds of trust on real property collateral located in Northern California totaled approximately 43% ($91,138,000) and 43% ($91,708,000), respectively, of the loan portfolio. The Northern California region (which includes Monterey, Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Inyo counties and all counties north) is a large geographic area which has a diversified economic base. The ability of borrowers to repay loans is influenced by the economic strength of the region and the impact of prevailing market conditions on the value of real estate. In addition, as of March 31, 2010 approximately 77% of the Partnership’s mortgage loans were secured by real estate located in the states of California, Arizona, Florida and Nevada, which have experienced dramatic reductions in real estate values over the past two years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership extended to December 31, 2011 the maturity date of one loan with a principal balance of $800,000.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately $200,720,000 (95.1%) and $201,403,000 (95.1%) of Partnership loans are interest-only and require the borrower to make a “balloon payment” on the principal amount upon maturity of the loan. To the extent that a borrower has an obligation to pay mortgage loan principal in a large lump sum payment, its ability to satisfy this obligation may be dependent upon its ability to sell the property, obtain suitable refinancing or otherwise raise a substantial cash amount. As a result, these loans involve a higher risk of default than fully amortizing loans. Borrowers occasionally are not able to pay the full amount due at the maturity date.  The Partnership may allow these borrowers to continue making the regularly scheduled monthly interest payments for certain periods of time to assist the borrower in meeting the balloon payment obligation without formally filing a notice of default.  These loans for which the principal is due and payable, but the borrower has failed to make such payment of principal are referred to as “past maturity loans”. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Partnership had thirty-five and thirty-seven past maturity loans totaling approximately $163,090,000 and $164,569,000, respectively.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Partnership had thirty-two and thirty impaired loans, respectively, that were impaired, delinquent in monthly payments greater than ninety days and/or in the process of foreclosure totaling approximately $161,019,000 (76%) and $146,039,000 (69%), respectively.  This included thirty and twenty-eight past maturity loans totaling $157,243,000 (75%) and $142,277,000 (67%), respectively. In addition, five and nine loans totaling approximately $5,847,000 (3%) and $22,292,000 (11%), respectively, were past maturity but current in monthly payments as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively (combined total of impaired and past maturity loans of $166,866,000 (79%) and $168,331,000 (80%), respectively). Of the impaired and past maturity loans, approximately $57,537,000 (27%) and $61,859,000 (29%), respectively, were in the process of foreclosure and $33,603,000 (16%) and $29,278,000 (14%), respectively, involved borrowers who were in bankruptcy as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, one past maturity loan with a principal balance of $525,000 was paid off in full by the borrower. In addition, in April and May 2010 (subsequent to quarter end), the Partnership filed notices of default on four delinquent loans with principal balances totaling approximately $24,328,000 as of March 31, 2010.

The Partnership foreclosed on three loans during the three months ended March 31, 2009 with aggregate principal balances totaling $13,165,000 and obtained the properties via the trustee’s sales.

During 2007, the Partnership funded a $30,000,000 portion of a $75,200,000 mortgage loan and entered into a Co-Lending and Servicing Agent Agreement (the “Agreement”) with three other co-lenders in the loan. The loan is secured by a condominium complex located in Miami, Florida consisting of three buildings, two of which have been renovated and in which 168 units remain unsold (the “Point” and “South” buildings) and one which contains 160 units that have not been renovated (the “North” building).  The General Partner is also a co-lender in the subject loan and is party to the Agreement. The interest rate payable to the Partnership and the General Partner on the loan is 10% per annum. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Partnership and the General Partner, as senior co-lenders, have priority on a pro-rata basis over all other co-lenders in such loan as follows: After any protective advances made are reimbursed to the co-lenders on a pro-rata basis, the Partnership and General Partner shall receive their share of interest in the loan prior to any other co-lender and, once all interest has been paid to the co-lenders, the Partnership and General Partner shall receive their share of principal in the loan prior to any other co-lender in the loan.  The servicer of the loan was an affiliate of the junior co-lender (the “Servicing Agent”) and the Partnership received the payments on the loan from the Servicing Agent. As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership had funded $1,462,000 of its pro-rata share of unreimbursed protective advances and funded an additional $15,000 subsequent to quarter end. As of both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s and General Partner’s remaining principal balances in the subject loan were approximately $23,483,000 and $7,828,000, respectively.
 
During 2008, the Servicing Agent filed a notice of default on this loan and the loan, and as of March 31, 2010, the loan continues to be in the process of foreclosure. During 2009, the Partnership purchased the junior lender’s investment in the loan (including principal of $7,200,000, accrued interest of approximately $1,618,000 and protective advances of approximately $535,000) for $2,800,000. The balance on this loan was approximately $2,775,000 as of March 31, 2010. The Partnership and the General Partner assumed the duties of the Servicing Agent effective June 1, 2009. The Partnership has recorded a specific loan loss allowance on this loan of approximately $10,404,000 and $9,945,000 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans (including loans delinquent in payments greater than 90 days) was approximately $150,909,000 and $103,730,000 as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, interest income recognized on impaired loans totaled approximately $813,000 and $584,000, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, interest income received on impaired loans totaled approximately $1,169,000 and $513,000, respectively.

The Partnership’s allowance for loan losses was $28,730,006 and $28,392,938 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there was a general allowance for losses of $4,753,000 and $5,645,000, respectively, and a specific allowance for loan losses on eleven and ten loans in the total amount of $23,977,006 and $22,747,938, respectively.

The General Partner believes that the allowance for estimated loan losses is management’s best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the underlying collateral.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

During 2008, the Partnership entered into an Operating Agreement of 1850 De La Cruz LLC, a California limited liability company (“1850”), with Nanook Ventures LLC (“Nanook”), an unrelated party.  The purpose of the joint venture is to acquire, own and operate certain industrial land and buildings located in Santa Clara, California that was owned by the Partnership. The property was subject to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 24, 2007 (the “Sale Agreement”), as amended, between the Partnership, as seller, and Nanook, as buyer.  During the course of due diligence under the Sale Agreement, it was discovered that the property is contaminated and that remediation and monitoring may be required.  The parties agreed to enter into the Operating Agreement to restructure the arrangement as a joint venture.  At the time of closing in July 2008, the two properties were separately contributed to two new limited liability companies, Nanook Ventures One LLC and Nanook Ventures Two LLC that are wholly owned by 1850.  The Partnership and Nanook are the Members of 1850 and NV Manager, LLC is the Manager.

Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Partnership is responsible for all costs related to the environmental remediation on the properties and has indemnified Nanook against all obligations related to the contamination. During 2008, the Partnership accrued approximately $762,000 as an estimate of the expected costs to monitor and remediate the contamination on the properties based on a third party consultant’s estimate.  As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately $572,000 and $579,000, respectively, of this obligation remains accrued on the Partnership’s books. The Partnership has estimated the amount to be paid under this guarantee based on the information available at this time. If additional amounts are required to monitor and remediate the contamination, it will be an obligation of the Partnership, as the Operating Agreement does not limit the obligations of the Partnership.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership foreclosed on two first mortgage loans secured by eight luxury townhomes located in Santa Barbara, California in the amount of $10,500,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale.  In addition, certain advances made on the loan or incurred as part of the foreclosure (such as legal fees and delinquent property taxes) in the total amount of approximately $432,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property.  The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected to be completed in the next one year period.  The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, Anacapa Villas, LLC (see below), to own and operate the townhomes.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by a marina with 30 boat slips and 11 RV spaces located in Oakley, California in the amount of $665,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale.  As of December 31, 2008, it was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loan by approximately $242,000, and, thus, a specific loan allowance was established for this loan. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure in March 2009. The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected to be completed in the next one year period. The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, The Last Resort and Marina, LLC (see below), to own and operate the marina.

The balances of land and the major classes of depreciable property for real estate held for investment as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows:

NOTE 6 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

In consideration of the management services rendered to the Partnership, Owens Financial Group, Inc. (“OFG”), the General Partner, is entitled to receive from the Partnership a management fee payable monthly, subject to a maximum of 2.75% per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Partnership’s mortgage loans.

All of the Partnership’s loans are serviced by OFG, in consideration for which OFG receives up to 0.25% per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loans.

OFG, at its sole discretion may, on a monthly basis, adjust the management and servicing fees as long as they do not exceed the allowable limits calculated on an annual basis. Even though the fees for a month may exceed 1/12 of the maximum limits, at the end of the calendar year the sum of the fees collected for each of the 12 months must be equal to or less than the stated limits. Management fees amounted to approximately $574,000 and $498,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Servicing fees amounted to approximately $132,000 and $161,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership owed management and servicing fees to OFG in the amount of approximately $480,000 and $488,000, respectively.
 
The maximum servicing fees were paid to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the three months ended    March 31, 2010, the management fees would have been $1,457,000 (increase of $883,000), which would have decreased net income allocated to limited partners by approximately 183.6% (to a loss) and net income allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.002 from income of $0.002. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2009, the management fees would have been $1,766,000 (increase of $1,269,000), which would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 25.8% and net loss allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.023 from a loss of $0.019.
 
In determining the yield to the partners and hence the management fees, OFG may consider a number of factors, including current market yields, delinquency experience, un-invested cash and real estate activities. OFG expects that the management fees it receives from the Partnership will vary in amount and percentage from period to period, and it is highly likely that OFG will again receive less than the maximum management fees in the future. However, if OFG chooses to take the maximum allowable management fees in the future, the yield paid to limited partners may be reduced.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, OFG receives all late payment charges from borrowers on loans owned by the Partnership, with the exception of loans participated with outside entities. The amounts paid to or collected by OFG for such charges totaled approximately $128,000 and $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, the Partnership remits other miscellaneous fees to OFG, which are collected from loan payments, loan payoffs or advances from loan principal (i.e. funding, demand and partial release fees). Such fees remitted to OFG totaled approximately $4,000 and $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

OFG originates all loans the Partnership invests in and receives loan origination fees from borrowers. Such fees earned by OFG amounted to approximately $32,000 and $983,000 on loans originated or extended of approximately $800,000 and $22,835,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Of the $983,000 in loan origination fees earned by OFG during the three months ended March 31, 2009, $633,000 were back-end fees earned by OFG as of March 31, 2009 that will not be collected until the related loans are paid in full.

OFG is reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities and the actual cost of services of non-management and non-supervisory personnel related to the administration of the Partnership (subject to certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement). The amounts reimbursed to OFG by the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $16,000 and $22,000, respectively.

During 2007, the Partnership funded a $30,000,000 portion of a $75,200,000 mortgage loan secured by a condominium complex (in the process of conversion and renovation) located in Miami, Florida and entered into a Co-Lending and Servicing Agent Agreement (the “Agreement”) with three other co-lenders in the loan.  The General Partner is also a co-lender in the subject loan and is party to the Agreement. See Note 2 for further information about this participated loan.

As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the General Partner held second and fourth deeds of trust in the total amount of approximately $853,000 and $819,000, respectively, secured by the same property (and to the same borrower) on which the Partnership has a first deed of trust in the amount of $2,200,000 at an interest rate of 12% per annum.  Approximately $517,000 of the General Partner’s second deed of trust is an exit fee included in the deed of trust at the time of loan origination in 2006. The interest rate on the General Partner’s loan is 17% per annum. The loans to the Partnership and the General Partner are greater than ninety days delinquent and past maturity as of March 31, 2010.
 
NOTE 7 - NOTE PAYABLE

The Partnership has a note payable with a bank in the amount of $10,500,000 through its investment in 720 University (see note 5), which is secured by the retail development located in Greeley, Colorado. The note required monthly interest payments until March 1, 2010 at a fixed rate of 5.07% per annum. Commencing April 1, 2010, monthly payments of $56,816 will be required, with the balance of unpaid principal due on March 1, 2015. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $133,000 and $133,000, respectively. The note contains certain covenants, which the Company has complied with as of March 31, 2010.
 
NOTE 8 - LINE OF CREDIT PAYABLE

The Partnership has a line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which provides interim financing on mortgage loans invested in by the Partnership. All assets of the Partnership are pledged as security for the line of credit. The line of credit is guaranteed by the General Partner. The line of credit matured by its terms on July 31, 2009.  On October 13, 2009, a Modification to Credit Agreement (the “Modification”) was executed by the Partnership and the Lenders whereby the credit line is no longer available for further advances and the maturity date was extended to March 31, 2010. As of the date of this filing, the line of credit has matured and has not been repaid by the Partnership. The General Partner has initiated negotiations with the Lenders to further extend the maturity date of the line of credit to a date by which it is anticipated that the Partnership will have sufficient funds to retire the entire outstanding balance on the line of credit. The General Partner’s continuing intention is to cause the Partnership to retire the line of credit as soon as practicable. Based upon discussions with the Lenders, the General Partner expects the extension will be completed by May 31, 2010, although there can be no assurance that the Partnership will obtain an extension promptly or on terms that are not materially adverse to the Partnership’s operations and financial condition.
 
As a result of the Modification, the agent for the Lenders has received collateral assignments of deeds of trusts for current performing note receivables with a value of at least 200% of the credit line’s principal balance.  In addition, all net proceeds of real estate property sales by the Partnership and all payments of loan principal received by the Partnership must be applied to the credit line, until it is fully repaid.  Additionally, while the Partnership has outstanding borrowings on the credit line, the Modification prevents the Partnership from making capital distributions to partners (including withdrawals), other than distributions of up to a 3% annual return on investment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The unpaid principal amount on the line of credit now bears interest at an annual rate of 1.50% in excess of the prime rate in effect from time to time (the prime rate was 3.25% as of March 31, 2010), subject to an interest rate floor of 7.50% per annum.
 
The balance outstanding on the line of credit was $22,872,000 and $23,695,000 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Interest expense was approximately $435,000 and $313,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Partnership is required to maintain non-interest bearing accounts in the total amount of $986,150 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, which has been reflected as restricted cash in the accompanying balance sheets.

NOTE 9 – PARTNERS’ CAPITAL
 
The Partnership originally registered 200,000,000 Units under Registration No. 333-69272 of which 90,241,162 Units remained available for sale, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Unit, as of March 31, 2008. The Partnership filed a new registration statement with the SEC on Form S-11, file number 333-150248, that was declared effective on April 30, 2008.  The new registration statement registered 100,000,000 Units, including 9,758,838 new Units and 90,241,162 Units that were previously registered and unsold pursuant to registration statement No. 333-69272. Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to such registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 30, 2010.

The Partnership experienced a significant increase in limited partner capital withdrawal requests in late 2008 and 2009. Prior to October 13, 2009, the Partnership Agreement permitted only 10% of limited partner capital to be withdrawn in any calendar year, and effective October 13, 2009 (with the adoption of amendments to the Partnership Agreement), this annual 10% limitation applies to the aggregate of limited partner withdrawals and distributions of net proceeds.  As a consequence of the annual 10% limitation, the Partnership was required to suspend approximately $5,000,000 in December 2008 withdrawal requests until January 2009.  All 2009 and 2010 scheduled withdrawals in the total amount of over $63,000,000 were not made because the Partnership did not have sufficient available cash to make such withdrawals and, pursuant to the modified line of credit agreement executed in October 2009, is prohibited from making capital distributions until the line of credit is fully repaid.  After the line of credit has been repaid and its restrictions no longer apply, which the General Partner now anticipates will happen in mid to late 2010, when funds become available for distribution from net proceeds, the General Partner anticipates causing the Partnership to make a pro rata distribution to partners of up to 10% of the Partnership’s capital, which will prevent any limited partner withdrawals during the same calendar year.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE
 
The Partnership accounts for its financial assets and liabilities pursuant to ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  The Partnership adopted ASC 820 for its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities effective January 1, 2009, which includes the Partnership’s real estate properties held for sale and investment. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1       Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2       Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full
term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3       Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, such as the
Partnership’s own data or assumptions.

 
22

OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,
a California Limited Partnership

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Level 3 inputs include unobservable inputs that are used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability measured at fair value. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

The following is a description of the Partnership’s valuation methodologies used to measure and disclose the fair values of its financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.
 
Impaired Loans
 
The Partnership does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when monthly payments are delinquent greater than ninety days. Once a loan is identified as impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC 310-10-35.  The fair value of impaired loans is estimated by either an observable market price (if available) or the fair value of the underlying collateral, if collateral dependent.  The fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by third party appraisals, broker price opinions, comparable properties or other indications of value. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At March 31, 2010, the majority of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral.  In accordance with ASC 820, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data, the Partnership records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2.  When an appraised value is not available, management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value or there is no observable market data included in a current appraisal, the Partnership records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
 
Real Estate Held for Sale and Investment
 
Real estate held for sale and investment includes properties acquired through foreclosure of the related loans. When property is acquired, any excess of the Partnership’s recorded investment in the loan and accrued interest income over the estimated fair market value of the property, net of estimated selling costs, is charged against the allowance for credit losses. Subsequently, real estate properties are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of real estate held for investment to expected future cash flows as determined by internally or third party generated valuations (including third party appraisals) for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are reduced to fair value. As fair value is generally based upon the future undiscounted cash flows, the Partnership records the impairment on real estate properties as nonrecurring Level 3.

Certificates of deposit are held in several federally insured depository institutions and have original maturities greater than three months. These investments are held to maturity.  The carrying value of the Partnership’s certificates of deposit of $1,947,821 as of March 31, 2010 approximates the fair value. Fair value measurements are estimated using a matrix based on interest rates.
 
Loans Secured by Trust Deeds
 
The carrying value of loans secured by trust deeds of $211,059,026 as of March 31, 2010, other than those analyzed under ASC 310-10-35 and ASC 820 above, approximates the fair value. The fair value is estimated based upon projected cash flows discounted at the estimated current interest rates at which similar loans would be made by the Partnership. The applicable amount of the allowance for loan losses along with accrued interest and advances related thereto should also be considered in evaluating the fair value versus the carrying value.
 
Line of Credit Payable
 
The carrying value of the line of credit payable of $22,871,623 as of March 31, 2010 is estimated to be the fair value as borrowings on the line of credit are generally short-term and the line bears interest at a variable rate (equal to the bank’s prime rate plus 1.5% but subject to a floor of not less than 7.5% per annum).
 
Note Payable
 
The fair value of the Partnership’s note payable with a carrying value of $10,500,000 is estimated to be approximately $9,883,000 as of March 31, 2010. The fair value is estimated based upon comparable market indicators of current pricing for the same or similar issue or on the current rate offered to the Partnership for debt of the same remaining maturity.
 
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Construction/Rehabilitation Loans

The Partnership makes construction, rehabilitation and other loans which are not fully disbursed at loan inception.  The Partnership has approved the borrowers up to a maximum loan balance; however, disbursements are made periodically during completion phases of the construction or rehabilitation or at such other times as required under the loan documents.  As of March 31, 2010, there were approximately $629,000 of undisbursed loan funds which will be funded by a combination of repayments of principal on current loans or from cash reserves.  The Partnership does not maintain a separate cash reserve to hold the undisbursed obligations that will be funded.

Environmental Remediation Obligation

The Partnership has an obligation to pay all required costs to remediate and monitor contamination of the real properties owned by 1850 De La Cruz LLC (“1850”).  As part of the Operating Agreement executed by the Partnership and its joint venture partner in 1850, Nanook Ventures LLC (“Nanook”), the Partnership has indemnified Nanook against all obligations related to the expected costs to monitor and remediate the contamination. The Partnership has accrued an amount that a third party consultant had estimated will need to be paid for this remediation. If additional amounts are required, it will be an obligation of the Partnership. As of March 31, 2010, approximately $572,000 of this obligation remains accrued on the Partnership’s books.

Legal Proceedings

The Partnership is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, such matters will not have a material effect upon the financial position of the Partnership.

PART I – Item 2.
 
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 

Forward Looking Statements

Some of the information in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or other similar words. These statements discuss expectations, hopes, intentions, beliefs and strategies regarding the future, contain projections of results of operations or of financial conditions or state other forward-looking information. When considering such forward-looking statements you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in the Partnership’s Form 10-Q and in the most recent Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding future interest rates and economic conditions and their effect on the Partnership and its assets, trends in real estate markets in which the Partnership does business, effects of competition, estimates as to the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate held for sale and investment, estimates of future limited partner withdrawals, additional foreclosures in 2010 and their effects on liquidity, and recovering certain values for properties through sale. Although management of the Partnership believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are certain factors, in addition to these risk factors and cautioning statements, such as unexpected changes in general economic conditions or interest rates, local real estate conditions, including a downturn in the real estate markets where the Partnership has made loans, adequacy of reserves, the impact of competition and competitive pricing, or weather and other natural occurrences that might cause a difference between actual results and those forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements and reasons why results may differ included in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement or reason why actual results may differ.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates based on the information available that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Such estimates relate principally to the determination of (1) the allowance for loan losses including the accrued interest and advances that are estimated to be unrecoverable based on estimates of amounts to be collected plus estimates of the value of the property as collateral; (2) the valuation of real estate held for sale and investment; and (3) the estimate of environmental remediation liabilities. At March 31, 2010, the Partnership owned twenty-three real estate properties, including ten within majority- or wholly-owned limited liability companies. The Partnership also has a 50% ownership interest in a limited liability company that owns property located in Santa Clara, California.

Loans and related accrued interest and advances are analyzed on a periodic basis for recoverability. Delinquencies are identified and followed as part of the loan system. Provisions are made to adjust the allowance for loan losses and real estate held for sale to an amount considered by management to be adequate, with consideration to original collateral values at loan inception and to provide for unrecoverable accounts receivable, including impaired and other loans, accrued interest, and advances on loans.

Recent trends in the economy have been taken into consideration in the aforementioned process of arriving at the allowances for loan losses and real estate losses. Actual results could vary from the aforementioned provisions for losses. If the probable ultimate recovery of the carrying amount of a loan is less than amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the carrying amount of the loan is reduced to the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. If a loan is collateral dependent, it is valued by management at the estimated fair value of the related collateral, less estimated selling costs. Estimated collateral fair values are determined based on third party appraisals, opinions of fair value from third party real estate brokers and/or comparable third party sales.

 
26

 
If events and/or changes in circumstances cause management to have serious doubts about the collectability of the contractual payments or when monthly payments are delinquent greater than ninety days, a loan is categorized as impaired and interest is no longer accrued. Any subsequent payments received on impaired loans are first applied to reduce any outstanding accrued interest, and then are recognized as interest income, except when such payments are specifically designated principal reduction or when management does not believe the Partnership’s investment in the loan is fully recoverable.

Real estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and is stated at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan, inclusive of any senior indebtedness, or at the property’s estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

Real estate held for investment includes real estate purchased or acquired through foreclosure (including ten properties within consolidated limited liability companies) and is initially stated at the lower of cost or the recorded investment in the loan, or the property’s estimated fair value.  Depreciation of buildings and improvements is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of buildings and improvements.  Depreciation of tenant improvements is provided on the straight-line method over the lives of the related leases.  Costs related to the improvement of real estate held for sale and investment are capitalized, whereas those related to holding the property are expensed.

The Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of real estate held for investment to expected undiscounted future cash flows, as determined by internally or third-party generated valuations, for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are reduced to estimated fair value.

The Partnership’s environmental remediation liability related to a property located in Santa Clara, California was estimated based on a third party consultant’s estimate of the costs required to remediate and monitor the contamination.

Related Parties

The General Partner of the Partnership is Owens Financial Group, Inc. (“OFG” or the “General Partner”).  All Partnership business is conducted through the General Partner, which arranges, services, and maintains the loan portfolio for the benefit of the Partnership.  The fees received by the General Partner are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and are determined at the sole discretion of the General Partner, subject to the limitations imposed by the Partnership Agreement. In the past, the General Partner has elected not to take the maximum compensation in order to maintain return to the limited partners at historical levels.  There can be no assurance that the General Partner will continue to do this in the future. The following is a list of various Partnership activities for which related parties are compensated.

·  
Management Fees - In consideration of the management services rendered to the Partnership, the General Partner is entitled to receive from the Partnership a management fee payable monthly, subject to a maximum of 2.75% per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Partnership’s mortgage loans at the end of each month in the calendar year. Management fees amounted to approximately $574,000 and $498,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

·  
Servicing Fees – All of the Partnership’s loans are serviced by the General Partner, in consideration for which the General Partner is entitled to receive from the Partnership a monthly fee, which, when added to all other fees paid in connection with the servicing of a particular loan, does not exceed the lesser of the customary, competitive fee in the community where the loan is placed or up to 0.25% per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loans at the end of each month. Servicing fees amounted to approximately $132,000 and $161,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 
27

 
·  
Acquisition and Origination Fees – The General Partner is entitled to receive and retain all acquisition and origination fees paid or payable by borrowers for services rendered in connection with the evaluation and consideration of potential investments of the Partnership (including any selection fee, mortgage placement fee, nonrecurring management fee, and any origination fee, loan fee, or points paid by borrowers). The acquisition and origination fees are paid by borrowers, and thus, are not an expense of the Partnership. Such fees earned by OFG amounted to approximately $32,000 and $983,000 on loans originated or extended of approximately $800,000 and $22,835,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Approximately $633,000 of the fees during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were back-end fees earned by the General Partner as of March 31, 2009 that will not be collected until the related loans are paid in full.

·  
Late Payment Charges – The General Partner is entitled to receive all late payment charges by borrowers on delinquent loans held by the Partnership (including additional interest and late payment fees).  The late payment charges are paid by borrowers and collected by the Partnership with regular monthly loan payments or at the time of loan payoff.  These are recorded as a liability (Due to General Partner) when collected and are not recognized as an expense of the Partnership. The amounts paid to or collected by OFG for such charges totaled approximately $128,000 and $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

·  
Other Miscellaneous Fees - The Partnership remits other miscellaneous fees to the General Partner, which are collected from loan payments, loan payoffs or advances from loan principal (i.e. funding, demand and partial release fees). Such fees remitted to OFG totaled approximately $4,000 and $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

·  
Partnership Expenses – The General Partner is entitled to be reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities and the actual cost of services of non-management and non-supervisory personnel related to the administration of the Partnership (subject to certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement).  The amounts reimbursed to the General Partner by the Partnership were approximately $16,000 and $22,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

·  
Carried Interest and Contributed Capital – The General Partner is required to contribute capital to the Partnership in the amount of 0.5% of the limited partners’ aggregate capital accounts and, together with its carried interest; the General Partner has an interest equal to 1% of the limited partners’ capital accounts. This carried interest of the General Partner of up to 1/2 of 1% is recorded as an expense of the Partnership and credited as a contribution to the General Partner’s capital account as additional compensation. As of March 31, 2010, the General Partner has made cash capital contributions of $1,496,000 to the Partnership. The General Partner is required to continue cash capital contributions to the Partnership in order to maintain its required capital balance. There was no carried interest expense charged to the Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Results of Operations

Overview

The Partnership invests in mortgage loans on real property located in the United States that are primarily originated by the General Partner. The Partnership’s primary objective is to generate monthly income from its investment in mortgage loans. The Partnership’s focus is on making mortgage loans to owners and developers of real property whose financing needs are often not met by traditional mortgage lenders. These include borrowers that traditional lenders may not normally consider because of perceived credit risks based on ratings or experience levels, and borrowers who require faster loan decisions and funding. One of the Partnership’s competitive advantages has been the ability to approve loan applications and fund more quickly than traditional lenders.

The Partnership will originate loans secured by very diverse property types. In addition, the Partnership will occasionally lend to borrowers whom traditional lenders will not normally lend to because of a variety of factors including their credit ratings and/or experience. Due to these factors, the Partnership may make mortgage loans that are riskier than mortgage loans made by commercial banks and other institutional lenders. To compensate for those potential risks, the Partnership seeks to make loans at higher interest rates and with more protection from the underlying real property collateral, such as with lower loan to value ratios. The Partnership is not presently originating new mortgage loans, as it must first fully repay or refinance its outstanding line of credit borrowings or obtain an extension from the lending banks. After repayment of the credit line, the General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will make capital distributions pro rata to its limited partners (up to 10% of limited partners’ capital per calendar year) with net proceeds from loan payoffs, real estate sales and/or capital contributions, as funds become available.

 
28

 
The Partnership’s operating results are affected primarily by:

·  
the amount of cash available to invest in mortgage loans;
·  
the amount of borrowing to finance mortgage loan investments, and the Partnership’s cost of funds on such borrowing;
·  
the level of real estate lending activity in the markets serviced;
·  
the ability to identify and lend to suitable borrowers;
·  
the interest rates the Partnership is able to charge on loans;
·  
the level of delinquencies on mortgage loans;
·  
the level of foreclosures and related loan and real estate losses experienced; and
·  
the income or losses from foreclosed properties prior to the time of disposal.

From 2007 to 2009, the U.S. economy deteriorated due to a combination of factors including a substantial decline in the housing market, liquidity issues in the lending market, and increased unemployment. The national unemployment rate has increased substantially from 5.0% in December 2007 to 9.7% in March 2010 while the California unemployment rate has increased over the same period from 6.1% to 12.6%. Although inflation continues to be a concern, the growth of the Gross Domestic Product slowed from 2.1% in 2007 to 0.4% in 2008. The Gross Domestic Product decreased 2.4% in 2009 and increased by an annualized rate of 3.2% in the first quarter of 2010. While the U.S. economy has been in recession for many months, many economists believe that the economy has recently come out of recession. The Federal Reserve decreased the federal funds rate from 4.25% as of December 31, 2007 to 0.25% as of December 31, 2008, where it remains as of March 31, 2010.

The Partnership has experienced increased loan delinquencies and foreclosures over the past three years.  The General Partner believes that this has primarily been the result of the depressed economy and the slowing housing market in California and other parts of the nation. The increased loan delinquencies and foreclosures have resulted in a substantial reduction in Partnership income over the past two years. In addition, due to the state of the economy and depressed real estate values, the Partnership has had to increase its loan loss reserves and take write-downs on certain real estate properties which, in turn, have resulted in losses to the Partnership.

Although currently the General Partner believes that only eleven of the Partnership's delinquent loans will result in loss to the Partnership (and has caused the Partnership to record specific allowances for loan losses on such loans), the current economic slowdown could continue to push values of real estate properties lower.  Given the continued decreasing values in the real estate market, the Partnership continues to perform frequent evaluations of such collateral values using internal and external sources, including the use of updated independent appraisals.  As a result of these evaluations, the allowance for loan losses and the Partnership’s investments in real estate could change in the near term, and such changes could be material.

The Partnership experienced a significant increase in limited partner capital withdrawal requests in late 2008 and 2009 and a decreased ability to meet those requests. Prior to October 13, 2009, the Partnership Agreement permitted only 10% of limited partner capital to be withdrawn in any calendar year, and effective October 13, 2009 (with the adoption of amendments to the Partnership Agreement), this annual 10% limitation applies to the aggregate of limited partner withdrawals and distributions of net proceeds.  As a consequence of the annual 10% limitation, the Partnership was required to suspend approximately $5,000,000 in December 2008 withdrawal requests until January 2009.  All 2009 and 2010 scheduled withdrawals of over $63,000,000 have not been made because the Partnership has not had sufficient available cash to make such withdrawals and needed to have funds in reserve to pay down its line of credit and for operations.  Also, pursuant to the October 2009 modified line of credit agreement, the Partnership is prohibited from making capital distributions to partners until the line of credit is fully repaid. After the line of credit has been repaid and its restrictions no longer apply, which the General Partner now anticipates will happen in mid- to late 2010, when funds become available for distribution from net proceeds, the General Partner anticipates causing the Partnership to make a pro rata distribution to partners of up to 10% of the Partnership’s capital, which will prevent any limited partner withdrawals during the same calendar year.
 
 
29

 
Although it appears that the U.S. economy has recently experienced positive growth, continued unemployment could negatively affect the values of real estate held by the Partnership and providing security for Partnership loans. This could potentially lead to even greater delinquencies and foreclosures, further reducing the liquidity and net income (yield) of the Partnership, decreasing the cash available for distribution in the form of net income and capital redemptions, and increase real estate held by the Partnership.

Historically, the General Partner has focused its operations on California and certain Western states. Because the General Partner has a significant degree of knowledge with respect to the real estate markets in such states, it is likely most of the Partnership’s loans will be concentrated in such states. As of March 31, 2010, 43.2% of loans were secured by real estate in Northern California, while 12.4%, 9.4%, 8.0%, 7.5% and 6.1% were secured by real estate in Florida, Southern California, Arizona, Colorado and Washington, respectively. Such geographical concentration creates greater risk that any downturn in such local real estate markets could have a significant adverse effect upon results of operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

Total Revenues

Interest income on loans secured by trust deeds decreased $2,301,000 (48.8%) during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, primarily due to an increase in non-accrual loans that were delinquent in payments greater than ninety days between 2009 and 2010 and a decrease in the weighted average balance of the loan portfolio of approximately 17.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 2009.

Gain on sales of real estate increased $133,000 (236%) during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership sold a commercial building in the complex located in Roseville, California for a gain of approximately $183,000 and recognized $6,000 in deferred gain related to the sale of the Bayview Gardens property in 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership sold a unit in the office condominium complex located in Roseville, California for a gain of approximately $50,000 and recognized $6,000 in deferred gain related to the sale of the Bayview Gardens property in 2006.

Other income decreased $20,000 (82.7%) during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009 due primarily to a decrease in interest earned on money market investments and certificates of deposit. The rates earned on money market investments and certificates of deposit have decreased significantly for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
 
Total Expenses

Management fees to the General Partner increased $77,000 (15.4%) during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009.  For the first quarter of 2010, while the General Partner did not collect the maximum management fees, it collected management fees equal to the minimum amount that the General Partner determined it needed to be paid in fees from the Partnership to enable it to cover its overhead and operating costs as the General Partner.

Servicing fees to the General Partner decreased $28,000 (17.5%) during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 2009. This was the result of a decrease in the weighted average balance of the loan portfolio of approximately 17.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The maximum servicing fees were paid to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the three months ended    March 31, 2010, the management fees would have been $1,457,000 (increase of $883,000), which would have decreased net income allocated to limited partners by approximately 183.6% (to a loss) and net income allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.002 from income of $0.002. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2009, the management fees would have been $1,766,000 (increase of $1,269,000), which would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 25.8% and net loss allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.023 from a loss of $0.019.
 
The maximum management fee permitted under the Partnership Agreement is 2 ¾% per year of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans. For the years 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2010 (annualized), the management fees were 0.79%, 1.53%, 0.89% and 1.08% of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans, respectively.

In determining the management fees and hence the yield to the partners, the General Partner may consider a number of factors, including current market yields, delinquency experience, un-invested cash and real estate activities. The General Partner expects that the management fees that it receives from the Partnership will vary in amount and percentage from period to period, and it is highly likely that the General Partner will again receive less than the maximum management fees in the future. However, if the General Partner chooses to take the maximum allowable management fees in the future, the yield paid to limited partners may be reduced.
 
 
31

 
Legal and professional expenses decreased $53,000 (26.3%) during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, primarily due to increased legal and auditing costs in the first quarter of 2009 incurred as a result of increased delinquent loans and loans in the process of foreclosure.

Interest expense increased $122,000 (27.4%) during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, due to an increase in the rate of interest charged on the Partnership’s line of credit in order to obtain a waiver of covenant violations incurred in late 2008 and early 2009 and in connection with the line of credit modification agreement executed in October 2009. During the 2nd quarter of 2009, the line of credit interest rate became subject to a floor of not less than 5% per annum, which was thereafter increased to a floor of 7.50% per annum.

The provision for loan losses of $337,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was the result of an analysis performed on the loan portfolio. The general loan loss allowance decreased $892,000 during the quarter due to an increase in impaired loans that were analyzed for a specific allowance. The specific loan loss allowance increased $1,229,000 during the quarter as reserves were adjusted or established on eleven loans. The Partnership recorded a provision for loan losses of approximately $8,177,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Net Loss from Rental and Other Real Estate Properties

Net loss from rental and other real estate properties increased $166,000 (81.4%) during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, due primarily to additional net losses incurred on real estate foreclosed in the past three years and depreciation incurred on several of the Partnership’s real estate properties held for investment.

Financial Condition

March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009

Loan Portfolio

The number of Partnership mortgage investments decreased from 54 to 52, and the average loan balance increased from $3,922,000 to $4,059,000 between December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Partnership had thirty-two and thirty impaired loans, respectively, that were impaired, delinquent in monthly payments greater than ninety days and/or in the process of foreclosure totaling approximately $161,019,000 (76%) and $146,039,000 (69%), respectively.  This included thirty and twenty-eight past maturity loans totaling $157,243,000 (75%) and $142,277,000 (67%), respectively. In addition, five and nine loans totaling approximately $5,847,000 (3%) and $22,292,000 (11%), respectively, were past maturity but current in monthly payments as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively (combined total of impaired and past maturity loans of $166,866,000 (79%) and $168,331,000 (80%), respectively). Of the impaired and past maturity loans, approximately $57,537,000 (27%) and $61,859,000 (29%), respectively, were in the process of foreclosure and $33,603,000 (16%) and $29,278,000 (14%), respectively, involved borrowers who were in bankruptcy as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, one past maturity loan with a principal balance of $525,000 was paid off in full by the borrower. In addition, in April and May 2010 (subsequent to quarter end), the Partnership filed notices of default on four delinquent loans with principal balances totaling approximately $24,328,000 as of March 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately 43% of the Partnership’s mortgage loans were secured by real property in Northern California. In addition, approximately 77% of the Partnership’s mortgage loans as of March 31, 2010 were secured by real estate located in the states of California, Arizona, Florida and Nevada, which have experienced dramatic reductions in real estate values over the past two years.

The General Partner increased the allowance for loan losses by $337,000 and $7,935,000 (provision net of charge-offs) during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The General Partner believes that this increase is sufficient given the estimated underlying collateral values of impaired loans. There is no precise method used by the General Partner to predict delinquency rates or losses on specific loans.  The General Partner has considered the number and amount of delinquent loans, loans in the process of foreclosure and loans in bankruptcy in determining the allowance for loan losses, but there can be no absolute assurance that the allowance is sufficient.  Because any decision regarding allowances for loan losses reflects judgment about the probability of future events, there is an inherent risk that such judgments will prove incorrect.  In such event, actual losses may exceed (or be less than) the amount of any reserve.  To the extent that the Partnership experiences losses greater than the amount of its reserves, the Partnership may incur a charge to earnings that will adversely affect operating results and the amount of any distributions payable to Limited Partners.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

Real Estate Properties Held for Sale and Investment

As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership held title to twenty-three properties that were foreclosed on or purchased by the Partnership in the amount of approximately $79,491,000 (including properties held in ten limited liability companies), net of accumulated depreciation of $4,731,000. As of March 31, 2010, properties held for sale total $10,709,000 and properties held for investment total $68,782,000. When the Partnership acquires property by foreclosure, it typically earns less income on those properties than could be earned on mortgage loans and may not be able to sell the properties in a timely manner.

Seven of the Partnership’s twenty-three properties do not currently generate revenue. Expenses from real estate properties have increased from approximately $1,343,000 to $1,976,000 (47.1%) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and revenues associated with these properties have increased from $1,139,000 to $1,605,000 (40.9%), thus generating a net loss from real estate properties of $371,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 (compared to $205,000 for the same period in 2009).

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership sold one commercial building located in Roseville, California for net sales proceeds of approximately $359,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $183,000.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership sold one unit in the office condominium complex located in Roseville, California for net sales proceeds of approximately $468,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $50,000.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by undeveloped residential land located in Coolidge, Arizona in the amount of $2,000,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale.  In addition, accrued interest income and certain advances made on the loan or incurred as part of the foreclosure (such as legal fees and delinquent property taxes) in the total amount of approximately $99,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property.  The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected to be completed in the next one year period.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership foreclosed on two first mortgage loans secured by eight luxury townhomes located in Santa Barbara, California in the amount of $10,500,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale.  In addition, certain advances made on the loan or incurred as part of the foreclosure (such as legal fees and delinquent property taxes) in the total amount of approximately $432,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property.  The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected to be completed in the next one year period.  The Partnership formed a new, wholly owned limited liability company, Anacapa Villas LLC, to own and operate the townhomes.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by a marina with 30 boat slips and 11 RV spaces located in Oakley, California in the amount of $665,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale.  As of December 31, 2008, it was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loan by approximately $242,000, and, thus, a specific loan allowance was established for this loan. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure in March 2009. The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected to be completed in the next one year period. The Partnership formed a new, wholly owned limited liability company, The Last Resort and Marina LLC, to own and operate the marina.

720 University, LLC

The Partnership has an investment in a limited liability company, 720 University, LLC (720 University), which owns a commercial retail property located in Greeley, Colorado.

The net income to the Partnership from 720 University was approximately $8,000 and $31,000 (including depreciation and amortization of $136,000 and $140,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The non-controlling interest of the joint venture partner of approximately $31,000 and $35,000 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, is reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Partnership’s investment in 720 University real property and improvements was approximately $12,930,000 and $13,010,000 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Dation, LLC

Dation, LLC (Dation) was formed in 2001 between the Partnership and an unrelated developer for the purpose of developing and selling lots in a manufactured home park located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which were acquired by the Partnership via a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Partnership advances funds to Dation as needed. The Partnership owns 50% of Dation and is the sole general manager of Dation (pursuant to an amendment to the Operating Agreement executed in October 2007). Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Partnership is to receive 50% of Dation’s profits and losses after receipt of all interest on the original loan and priority return on partner contributions allocated at the rate of 12% per annum. The Partnership has recorded 100% of Dation’s net income and losses since inception because it has the majority of the risks and rewards of ownership. The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of Dation have been consolidated into the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations of the Partnership.

The Partnership advanced an additional $215,000 in capital contributions to Dation during the three months ended March 31, 2009 for manufactured home purchases and related improvements.

The net loss to the Partnership from Dation was approximately $19,000 and $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Interest and Other Receivables

Interest and other receivables increased from approximately $4,644,000 as of December 31, 2009 to $5,387,000 as of March 31, 2010 ($743,000 or 16.0%) due primarily to an increase in amounts advanced on delinquent loans to cover delinquent taxes, legal fees and insurance, and other receivables related to real estate properties obtained through foreclosure during 2009.

Due to General Partner

Due to General Partner increased from approximately $362,000 as of December 31, 2009 to approximately $481,000 as of March 31, 2010, ($119,000 or 32.8%) due primarily to increased accrued management fees for the months of February and March 2010 as compared to November and December 2009. These fees are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement (see “Results of Operations” above) and can fluctuate from month to month.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased from approximately $2,135,000 as of December 31, 2009 to approximately $2,227,000 as of March 31, 2010 ($92,000 or 4.3%) due primarily to an increase in accrued expenses on Partnership real estate (primarily property taxes payable) as of March 31, 2010.

Line of Credit Payable

Line of credit payable decreased from approximately $23,695,000 as of December 31, 2009 to approximately $22,872,000 as of March 31, 2010 ($823,000 or 3.5%) due to repayments made during the quarter then ended from partial and full loan payoffs received. Due to the restrictions placed on the Partnership pursuant to the modified line of credit agreement executed in October 2009, the Partnership is no longer able to draw on the line of credit and is prohibited from distributing capital to limited partners until the line is fully repaid, among other conditions.

Asset Quality

A consequence of lending activities is that losses will be experienced and that the amount of such losses will vary from time to time, depending on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as affected by economic conditions and the financial experiences of borrowers.  Many of these factors are beyond the control of the General Partner. There is no precise method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged off on specific loans or on segments of the loan portfolio.

The conclusion that a Partnership loan may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. Although institutional lenders are subject to regulations that, among other things, require them to perform ongoing analyses of their loan portfolios (including analyses of loan-to-value ratios, reserves, etc.), and to obtain current information regarding their borrowers and the securing properties, the Partnership is not subject to these regulations and has not adopted these practices. Rather, management of the General Partner, in connection with the quarterly closing of the accounting records of the Partnership and the preparation of the financial statements, evaluates the Partnership’s mortgage loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on the General Partner’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the Partnership’s loan portfolio and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which the General Partner determines that full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters:

·
prevailing economic conditions;
 
·
the Partnership’s historical loss experience;
 
·
the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio;
 
·
borrowers’ financial condition and adverse situations that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay;
 
·
evaluation of industry trends;
 
 
37

 
·
review and evaluation of loans identified as having loss potential; and
 
·
estimated net realizable value or fair value of the underlying collateral.

Based upon this evaluation, a determination is made as to whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable losses of the Partnership. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for loan losses. Loan losses deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses. As of March 31, 2010, management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $28,730,000 is adequate in amount to cover probable losses. Because of the number of variables involved, the magnitude of the swings possible and the General Partner’s inability to control many of these factors, actual results may and do sometimes differ significantly from estimates made by the General Partner. As of March 31, 2010, thirty-two loans totaling $161,019,000 were impaired, delinquent in monthly payments greater than ninety days and/or in the process of foreclosure. This includes thirty past maturity loans totaling $157,243,000. In addition, five loans totaling $5,847,000 were also past maturity but current in monthly payments as March 31, 2010 (combined total of $166,866,000). After the General Partner’s evaluation of the loan portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership recorded an additional net provision for loan losses of approximately $337,000 for losses that are estimated to have likely occurred.  The General Partner believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient given the net realizable value and/or estimated fair value of the underlying collateral values of impaired and past maturity loans.

Construction Loans are determined by the General Partner to be those loans made to borrowers for the construction of entirely new structures or dwellings, whether residential, commercial or multifamily properties.  The General Partner has approved the borrowers up to a maximum loan balance; however, disbursements are made in phases throughout the construction process.  As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership held no remaining Construction Loans in its loan portfolio.

The Partnership also makes loans, the proceeds of which are used to remodel, add to and/or rehabilitate an existing structure or dwelling, whether residential, commercial or multifamily properties, or are used to complete improvements to land.  The General Partner has determined that these are not Construction Loans.  Many of these loans are for cosmetic refurbishment of both interiors and exteriors of existing condominiums or conversion of apartments or other properties into condominiums.  The refurbished/converted units are then sold to new users, and the sales proceeds are used to repay the Partnership’s loans.  These loans may also include completion of tenant or other improvements on commercial properties.  These loans are referred to as Rehabilitation Loans. As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership held three Rehabilitation Loans totaling approximately $20,576,000 and had commitments to disburse an additional $629,000 on Rehabilitation Loans.

Certain loans that were previously classified as Construction or Rehabilitation Loans were removed from these classifications as of March 31, 2010 because construction or rehabilitation, as applicable, has been completed and/or all remaining holdback funds have been disbursed to the borrowers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, cash flows provided by operating activities approximated $280,000. Investing activities provided approximately $731,000 of net cash during the quarter, as approximately $1,198,000 was received from the payoff of loans and sale of real estate, net of approximately $468,000 used for investing in loans, real estate and certificates of deposit.  Approximately $1,356,000 was used in financing activities, as approximately $823,000 was used to repay the line of credit and $529,000 was distributed to limited partners in the form of income distributions. The General Partner believes that the Partnership will have sufficient cash flow to sustain operations over the next year. However, due to the restrictions placed on the Partnership pursuant to the extension and modification of the line of credit agreement in October 2009, the Partnership will be required to apply to the credit line, until it is fully repaid, all net proceeds of loan repayments and real estate sales received.  Thus, the Partnership will not be able to make capital distributions or withdrawals to limited partners until the line of credit is repaid. Because the Partnership has not received sufficient net proceeds to fully repay the line of credit by the extended maturity date of March 31, 2010, the General Partner is seeking the lending banks’ agreement to a further extension of the maturity date. If the Partnership is unable to obtain an extension, it may be required to secure new borrowing with a different institution or sell real estate properties at reduced prices, potentially resulting in losses, in order to repay the outstanding balance.

 
38

 
The Partnership experienced a significant increase in limited partner capital withdrawal requests in late 2008 and 2009. Prior to October 13, 2009, the Partnership Agreement permitted only 10% of limited partner capital to be withdrawn in any calendar year, and effective October 13, 2009 (with the approval of the amendments to the Partnership Agreement), this annual 10% limitation applies to the aggregate of limited partner withdrawals and distributions of net proceeds.  As a consequence of the annual 10% limitation, the Partnership was required to suspend approximately $5,000,000 in December 2008 withdrawal requests until January 2009.  All 2009 and 2010 scheduled withdrawals in the total amount of over $63,000,000 were not made because the Partnership has not had sufficient available cash to make such withdrawals and, pursuant to the modified line of credit agreement executed in October 2009, is prohibited from making capital distributions until the line of credit is fully repaid.  After the line of credit has been repaid and its restrictions no longer apply, which the General Partner now anticipates will happen in mid- to late 2010, when funds become available for distribution from net proceeds, the General Partner anticipates causing the Partnership to make a pro rata distribution to partners up to 10% of Partnership capital, which will prevent any limited partner withdrawals during the same calendar year.

The limited partners may withdraw capital from the Partnership, either in full or partially, subject to the following limitations, among others:

·  
The withdrawing limited partner is required to provide written notice of withdrawal to the General Partner, and the distribution to the withdrawing limited partner will not be made until 61 to 91 days deliver of such notice of withdrawal.

·  
No withdrawal of capital with respect to Units is permitted until the expiration of one year from the date of purchase of such Units, other than Units received under the Partnership’s Reinvested Distribution Plan.

·  
Any such payments are required to be made only from net proceeds and capital contributions (as defined).

·  
A maximum of $100,000 per limited partner may be withdrawn during any calendar quarter.

·  
The General Partner is not required to establish a reserve fund for the purpose of funding withdrawals.

·  
No more than 10% of the aggregate capital accounts of limited partners can be paid to limited partners through any combination of distributions of net proceeds and withdrawals during any calendar year, except upon a plan of dissolution of the Partnership.

Sales of Units to investors, reinvestment of limited partner distributions, portfolio loan payoffs, and advances on the Partnership’s line of credit (which has matured and against which the Partnership cannot currently draw) provide the capital for new mortgage investments, when the Partnership has the ability to make such investments. Under normal conditions, if general market interest rates were to increase substantially, investors might turn to interest-yielding investments other than Partnership Units, which would reduce the liquidity of the Partnership and its ability to make additional mortgage investments to take advantage of the generally higher interest rates. In addition, an increase in delinquencies on Partnership loans could also have the effect of reducing liquidity which could reduce the cash available to invest in new loans and distribute to limited partners.  In contrast, a significant increase in the dollar amount of loan payoffs and additional limited partner investments without the origination of new loans of the same amount would increase the liquidity of the Partnership. This increase in liquidity could result in a decrease in the yield paid to limited partners as the Partnership would be required to invest the additional funds in lower yielding, short term investments.

Limited partner capital decreased by approximately $99,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. A component of the decrease in limited partner capital during 2010 was an increase in the allowance for loan losses in the amount of approximately $337,000. Reinvested distributions from limited partners electing to reinvest were $220,000 and $1,617,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. There were no limited partner withdrawals for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Limited partner withdrawals were $5,110,000 for the quarter
 
 
39

 
ended March 31, 2009. Limited partner withdrawal percentages have been 4.29%, 4.70%, 6.34%, 10.00% and 2.01% for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. These percentages are the annual average of the limited partners’ capital withdrawals in each calendar quarter divided by the total limited partner capital as of the end of each quarter.

The total amount of indebtedness incurred by the Partnership cannot exceed the sum of 50% of the aggregate fair market value of all Partnership loans. The Partnership has executed a line of credit agreement with a group of three banks that has provided interim financing on mortgage loans invested in by the Partnership. On October 13, 2009, a Modification to Credit Agreement was executed extending the maturity date to March 31, 2010 but providing that the lending banks were not required to advance any additional amounts. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there was $22,872,000 and $23,695,000, respectively, outstanding on the line of credit. As of the date of this filing, the total amount outstanding is approximately $22,797,000. As further described in the following paragraphs, the credit line modification that the Partnership negotiated in order to extend the maturity date imposes additional costs and restrictions on the Partnership.

All assets of the Partnership are pledged as security for the line of credit. As a result of modifications to the line of credit agreement, the agent for the lending banks has received collateral assignments of deeds of trusts for current performing note receivables with a value of at least 200% of the credit line’s principal balance.  Additionally, the line of credit is guaranteed by the General Partner.

As a result of modifications to the line of credit agreement, all net proceeds of real estate or other investment property sales by the Partnership and all payments of loan principal received by the Partnership must be applied to the credit line, until it is fully repaid.  Additionally, while the Partnership has outstanding borrowings on the credit line, the modifications prevent the Partnership from repurchasing partners’ interests or making distributions to partners (including withdrawals), other than distributions of up to a 3% annual return on investment.

The bank line of credit agreement requires the Partnership to meet certain financial covenants including minimum tangible net worth, ratio of total funded debt to tangible net worth and ratio of maximum outstanding principal to asset value.  The Partnership’s financial covenant regarding profitability has been removed from the line of credit agreement.

In connection with modifications to the line of credit agreement, the unpaid principal amount bears interest prior to maturity at an annual rate of 1.50% in excess of the prime rate in effect from time to time (the prime rate was 3.25% as of March 31, 2010), subject to an interest rate floor of 7.50% per annum.  Prior to March 2009, interest on the line of credit accrued at the prime rate, but a 5% interest floor was imposed by the banks in March 2009 as a condition of a financial covenant waiver. These interest rate increases and floors have increased the Partnership’s cost of funds on such borrowings, resulting in higher Partnership interest expense and lower Partnership income than would apply when interest accrued at the prime rate.

As a result of the modifications to the line of credit agreement, the Partnership is unable to borrow additional funds on the credit line. The line of credit agreement matured on March 31, 2010 and has not been repaid by the Partnership. The General Partner originally anticipated that the Partnership would be able to fully repay the line of credit balance from loan payoffs and/or real estate sales proceeds by the maturity date. However, it has taken longer for some of the Partnership’s borrowers to obtain take-out financing and two real estate sales contracts were canceled by the buyers. The General Partner has initiated negotiations with the lending banks to further extend the maturity date of the line of credit to a date by which it is anticipated that the Partnership will have sufficient funds to retire the entire outstanding balance on the line of credit. The General Partner’s continuing intention is to cause the Partnership to retire the line of credit as soon as practicable. Based upon discussions with the banks, the General Partner expects the extension will be completed by May 31, 2010, although there can be no assurance that the Partnership will obtain an extension from the banks promptly or on terms that are not materially adverse to the Partnership’s operations and financial condition. Unless an acceptable extension can be negotiated, the Partnership may be required to refinance, potentially on less favorable terms, or to liquidate Partnership investments to repay outstanding borrowings.

The Partnership also has a note payable with a bank through its investment in 720 University, LLC with a balance of $10,500,000 as of March 31, 2010. The interest rate on this note is fixed at 5.07% per annum and the note matures on March 1, 2015.
 
As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership has commitments to advance additional funds to borrowers of construction and rehabilitation loans in the total amount of approximately $629,000. The Partnership expects the majority of these amounts to be advanced to borrowers by June 2010. The source of funds to fulfill these commitments will be primarily from payoffs on existing mortgage loans or from cash reserves.

It was determined, subsequent to foreclosure of the applicable loans in November 2009, that additional renovation costs in the total amount of approximately $2,000,000 will be required to complete certain of the condominium units located in Phoenix, Arizona now owned by the Partnership so that these units may be leased or sold. The funds to pay for these capitalized costs will likely come from either cash reserves or new borrowings securing the property.

Contingency Reserves

The Partnership is required to maintain cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as contingency reserves in an aggregate amount of at least 1-1/2% of the capital accounts of the limited partners to cover expenses in excess of revenues or other unforeseen obligations of the Partnership. The cash capital contributions of OFG (amounting to $1,496,000 as of March 31, 2010), up to a maximum of 1/2 of 1% of the limited partners’ capital accounts may be maintained as additional contingency reserves, if considered necessary by the General Partner.  Although the General Partner believes the contingency reserves are adequate, it could become necessary for the Partnership to sell or otherwise liquidate certain of its investments or other assets to cover such contingencies on terms which might not be favorable to the Partnership.

PART I - Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The General Partner of the Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the General Partner’s management, including the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, which is the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q,  the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Partnership may become involved in various types of legal proceedings such as assignment of rents, bankruptcy proceedings, appointment of receivers, unlawful detainers, judicial foreclosure, etc., to enforce the provisions of the deeds of trust, collect the debt owed under the promissory notes, or to protect, or recoup its investment from the real property secured by the deeds of trust.  None of these actions would typically be of any material importance.  As of the date hereof, the Partnership is not involved in any legal proceedings other than those that would be considered part of the normal course of business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the Partnership’s risk factors as previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

As described in more detail under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources,” the Partnership’s line of credit agreement matured on March 31, 2010 and has not been repaid by the Partnership.  As of the date of this filing, the Partnership is current in interest payments on the credit line, and the unpaid principal amount outstanding is approximately $22,797,000.  The agent for the lending banks has not delivered to the Partnership any notice of default with respect to such maturity and nonpayment, and the Partnership makes no admission as to the existence of any defaults under the line of credit agreement.  Based upon discussions with the banks, the General Partner expects to complete an extension of the maturity date of the line of credit by May 31, 2010.  However, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will obtain an extension promptly or on favorable terms, or that the agent for the lending banks will not assert that the Partnership has defaulted under the line of credit agreement.
