Basis
of Presentation
|
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) for interim financial information. They do not include all
information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements. The results of operations are impacted, in part, by the
combined results of operations of the Local Partnerships, which are provided by
the Local Partnerships on an unaudited basis during interim
periods. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
are dependent on such unaudited information. In the opinion of the
Manager, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 29, 2010 and the
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The results of operations for the three months ended June 29,
2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
entire year.

Investment
in Local Partnerships
|
The Trust
owns a 98.9% - 99% limited partner interest (the “Local Partnership Interests”)
in ten Local Partnerships and has committed to make capital contribution
payments in the aggregate amount of $14,837,956, which includes voluntary
advances made to certain Local Partnerships and all of which has been
paid. The Partnership has no legal obligation to fund any operating
deficits of the Local Partnerships.
For the
three months ended June 29, 2010, the investment in local partnerships activity
consists of the following:

event the operations of a Local Partnership result in a loss, equity in loss of
each investment in Local Partnership allocated to the Partnership is recognized
to the extent of the Partnership’s investment balance in each Local
Partnership. Equity in loss in excess of the Partnership’s investment
balance in a Local Partnership is allocated to other partners’ capital in any
such Local Partnership.
Edgewood
Manor Associates, L.P. (“Edgewood”) is in default under the terms of its first
mortgage and a default has been declared by the lender; delinquent payments of
principal, interest and certain fees represent a cumulative arrearage of
approximately $33,000 as of July 2010. The Trust has made cumulative
voluntary advances to Edgewood of $90,000 as of June 29, 2010 to fund operating
deficits, none of which were made during the three months then
ended. The Trust’s investment balance in Edgewood, after cumulative
equity losses, became zero during the year ended March 30, 2005 and voluntary
advances made by the Trust were recorded as investment in local partnerships and
written off as additional equity in loss of investment in local
partnerships.
The
Trust’s investment balance in St. John Housing Associates, L.P. (“St. John
Housing”) represents more than 20% of the Trust’s total assets as of June 29,
2010 and equity in income of investment in local partnerships reflected in the
accompanying unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended June
29, 2010 is attributable to St. John Housing. The following financial
information represents certain unaudited operating statement data of St. John

Investment
in Mutual Fund
|
The
Partnership carries its investment in mutual fund (the “Fund”) at estimated fair
value. The fair value of the Partnership’s investment in mutual fund
is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy of the guidance on
Fair Value Measurements as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 820. Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the
ability to access. The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is $9.98 per
share as of June 29, 2010. The unrealized loss of $2,227 is included
as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying
unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 29,
2010.

Investment
in Bond
|
The
Partnership carries its investment in bond as available-for-sale because such
investment is used to facilitate and provide flexibility for its obligations,
including resolving circumstances that may arise in connection with the Local
Partnerships. Investment in bond is reflected in the accompanying
unaudited balance sheet as of June 29, 2010 at estimated fair value and is
classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy of the guidance on
Fair Value Measurements (see discussion in Note 3 above). The
unrealized loss of $1,615 is included as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive loss in the accompanying unaudited financial statements as of and
for the three months ended June 29, 2010.

Material Changes in
Financial Condition
As of
June 29, 2010, American Tax Credit Trust (the “Registrant”) has not experienced
a significant change in financial condition as compared to March 30,
2010. Principal changes in assets are comprised of periodic
transactions and adjustments and equity in income (loss) from operations of the
local partnerships (the “Local Partnerships”), which own low-income multifamily
residential complexes (the “Properties”) that qualify for the low-income tax
credit in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
“Low-income Tax Credit”). During the three months ended June 29,
2010, Registrant received cash from interest revenue and distributions from
Local Partnerships and utilized cash for operating expenses and investments in a
mutual fund and a bond. Cash and cash equivalents, investment in
mutual fund and investment in bond increased, in the aggregate, by approximately
$27,000 during the three months ended June 29, 2010 (which includes unrealized
losses on investment in mutual fund and investment in bond in the aggregate of
approximately $4,000). Registrant intends to hold the bond until its
call date (September 2013) and therefore does not expect to realize significant
gains or losses on its investment in bond, if any. During the three
months ended June 29, 2010, the investment in local partnerships increased as a
result of equity in the Local Partnerships’ net income for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 of $81,466, partially offset by distributions received from
Local Partnerships of $60,232 (excluding $2,500 of distributions classified as
other income from local partnerships). Payable to manager and
affiliates in the accompanying unaudited balance sheet as of June 29, 2010
represents deferred management fees.
Results of
Operations
Registrant’s
operating results are dependent, in part, upon the operating results of the
Local Partnerships and are impacted by the Local Partnerships’
policies. In addition, the operating results herein are not
necessarily the same for tax reporting. Registrant accounts for its
investment in local partnerships in accordance with the equity method of
accounting. Accordingly, the investment is carried at cost and is
adjusted for Registrant’s share of each Local Partnership’s results of
operations and by cash distributions received. In the event the
operations of a Local Partnership result in a loss, equity in loss of each
investment in Local Partnership allocated to Registrant is recognized to the
extent of Registrant’s investment balance in each Local
Partnership. Equity in loss in excess of Registrant’s investment
balance in a Local Partnership is allocated to other partners’ capital in any
such Local Partnership.
Cumulative
losses and cash distributions in excess of investment in local partnerships may
result from a variety of circumstances, including a Local Partnership's
accounting policies, subsidy structure, debt structure and operating deficits,
among other things. In addition, the book value of Registrant’s
investment in each Local Partnership (the “Local Partnership Carrying Value”)
may be reduced if the Local Partnership Carrying Value is considered to exceed
the estimated value derived by management. Accordingly, cumulative
losses and cash distributions in excess of the investment or an adjustment to a
Local Partnership’s Carrying Value are not necessarily indicative of adverse
operating results of a Local Partnership.
Registrant’s
operations for the three months ended June 29, 2010 and 2009 resulted in net
income (loss) of $30,166 and $(19,420), respectively. The increase in
net income from fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2010 is primarily attributable to (i) an
increase in equity in income of investment in local partnerships of
approximately $38,000, which is attributable to an increase in the net operating
income of the Local Partnership in which Registrant continues to have an
investment balance, (ii) an increase in interest revenue and other income from
local partnerships in the aggregate amount of approximately $6,000 and (iii) a
decrease in operating expenses of approximately $5,000. Other
comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 29, 2010 resulted from net
unrealized losses on investment in mutual fund and investment in bond of $2,227
and $1,615, respectively.

Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Continued).
|
Local Partnership
Matters
Registrant's
primary objective has been to provide Low-income Tax Credits to its beneficial
owners (the “Beneficial Owners”). The relevant state tax credit
agency allocated each of the Local Partnerships an amount of Low-income Tax
Credits, which are generally available for a ten year period from the year the
Property is placed in service (the “Ten Year Credit Period”). The Ten
Year Credit Period was fully exhausted with respect to all of the Properties as
of December 31, 2006. The required holding period of each Property,
in order to avoid Low-income Tax Credit recapture, is fifteen years from the
year in which the Low-income Tax Credits commence on the last building of the
Property (the "Compliance Period"). The Properties must satisfy
various requirements including rent restrictions and tenant income limitations
(the "Low-income Tax Credit Requirements") in order to maintain eligibility for
the recognition of the Low-income Tax Credit at all times during the Compliance
Period. Once a Local Partnership has become eligible for the
Low-income Tax Credit, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an event of
recapture if its Property fails to remain in compliance with the Low-income Tax
Credit Requirements. The Compliance Period of all but one of the
Local Partnerships had expired as of December 31, 2009, with the remaining Local
Partnership’s Compliance Period expiring on December 31, 2010. In
addition, certain of the Local Partnerships entered into agreements with the
relevant state tax credit agencies whereby the Local Partnerships must maintain
the low-income nature of the Properties for a period which exceeds the
Compliance Period (in certain circumstances, up to 50 years from when the
Property is placed in service, but commonly 30 years from the date any such
Property is placed in service), regardless of a sale of the Properties by the
Local Partnerships after the Compliance Period (the “Extended Use
Provisions”). Although the Extended Use Provisions do not extend the
Compliance Period of the respective Local Partnerships, such provisions limit
the number and availability of potential purchasers of the
Properties. Accordingly, a sale of a Property may happen well after
the expiration of the Compliance Period and/or may be significantly
discounted. Registrant is in the process of disposing of its limited
partner interests in the Local Partnerships (the “Local Partnership
Interests”). With the understanding of the expiration of the
respective Compliance Periods as noted above, Registrant has served a demand on
the local general partners (the “Local General Partners”) to commence a sale
process to dispose of the Properties. In the event a sale cannot be
consummated, it is the Manager’s intention to sell or assign Registrant’s Local
Partnership Interests. It is not possible to ascertain the amount, if
any, that Registrant will receive with respect to each specific Property from
such sales or assignments. Registrant intends to dissolve after the
final disposition of its Local Partnership Interests. There can be no
assurance as to when Registrant will dispose of its Local Partnership
Interests.
The
Properties are principally comprised of subsidized and leveraged low-income
multifamily residential complexes located throughout the United
States. Certain of the Local Partnerships receive rental subsidy
payments, including payments under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974 (“Section 8”). The subsidy
agreements expire at various times. Since October 1997, the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) has issued a series
of directives related to project based Section 8 contracts that define owners’
notification responsibilities, advise owners of project based Section 8
properties of what their options are regarding the renewal of Section 8
contracts, provide guidance and procedures to owners, management agents,
contract administrators and HUD staff concerning renewal of Section 8 contracts,
provide policies and procedures on setting renewal rents and handling renewal
rent adjustments and provide the requirements and procedures for opting-out of a
Section 8 project based contract. Registrant cannot reasonably
predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget negotiations, the
outcome of which could result in a reduction in funds available for the various
federal and state administered housing programs including the Section 8
program. Such changes could adversely affect the future net operating
income before debt service (“NOI”) and debt structure of any or all Local
Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy or similar
subsidies. Four Local Partnerships’ Section 8 contracts are currently
subject to renewal under applicable HUD guidelines. Of the four Local
Partnerships noted above, three have entered into restructuring agreements,
resulting in changes to both rent subsidy and mandatory debt
service.
The Local
Partnerships have various financing structures which include (i) required debt
service payments (“Mandatory Debt Service”) and (ii) debt service payments which
are payable only from available cash flow subject to the terms and conditions of
the notes, which may be subject to specific laws, regulations and agreements
with appropriate federal and state agencies (“Non-Mandatory Debt Service or
Interest”). Registrant has no legal obligation to fund any operating
deficits of the Local Partnerships.

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Continued).
Edgewood
Manor Associates, L.P. (“Edgewood”) is currently in default under the terms of
its first mortgage and a default has been declared by the lender; delinquent
payments of principal, interest and certain fees represent a cumulative
arrearage of approximately $33,000 as of July 2010. Registrant has
made cumulative voluntary advances of $90,000 to Edgewood to fund operating
deficits as of June 29, 2010, none of which were made during the three months
then ended. Registrant’s investment balance in Edgewood, after
cumulative equity losses, became zero during the year ended March 30, 2005 and
voluntary advances made by Registrant were recorded as investment in local
partnerships and written off as additional equity in loss of investment in local
partnerships. The Compliance Period for Edgewood has
expired.
Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”), which requires Registrant to make certain estimates and
assumptions. The following section is a summary of certain aspects of
those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and
are most important to the portrayal of Registrant’s financial condition and
results of operations. Registrant believes that there is a low
probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these
judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the
accompanying unaudited financial statements.
|
·
|
Registrant
accounts for its investment in local partnerships in accordance with the
equity method of accounting.
|
|
·
|
If
the book value of Registrant’s investment in a Local Partnership exceeds
the estimated value derived by management, Registrant reduces its
investment in any such Local Partnership and includes such reduction in
equity in loss of investment in local partnerships. Registrant
makes such assessment at least annually in the fourth quarter of its
fiscal year or whenever there are indications that a permanent impairment
may have occurred. A loss in value of an investment in a Local
Partnership other than a temporary decline would be recorded as an
impairment loss. Impairment is measured by comparing the
investment carrying amount to the estimated residual value of the
investment.
|
|
·
|
Registrant
does not consolidate the accounts and activities of the Local
Partnerships, which are considered Variable Interest Entities under
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810; Subtopic 10, because Registrant is not
considered the primary beneficiary. Registrant’s balance in
investment in local partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax
credits previously recognized on certain of such investments, represents
the maximum exposure to loss in connection with such
investments. Registrant’s exposure to loss on the Local
Partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of
the underlying Properties as well as the financial strength of the Local
General Partners and their guarantees against credit
recapture.

Forward-Looking
Information
As a
cautionary note, with the exception of historical facts, the matters discussed
in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking” statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform
Act”). Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things,
current expectations, forecasts of future events, future actions, future
performance generally, business development activities, capital expenditures,
strategies, the outcome of contingencies, future financial results, financing
sources and availability and the effects of regulation and
competition. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,”
“seek,” “estimate” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection
with discussions of future operating or financial performance signify
forward-looking statements. Registrant may also provide written
forward-looking statements in other materials released to the
public. Such statements are made in good faith by Registrant pursuant
to the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Reform Act. Registrant
undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. Such forward-looking statements involve known risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause Registrant’s actual results of
operations or actions to be materially different from future results of
operations or actions expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosure About Market Risk.
Registrant’s
investment in mutual fund (the “Fund”) is subject to certain
risk. The fixed income securities in which the Fund invests are
subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, counterparty risk,
municipal securities risk, liquidity risk, management risk, government security
risk and valuation risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, the
market prices of fixed income securities go down. The Fund is
classified as “non-diversified,” and thus may invest most of its assets in
securities issued by or representing a small number of issuers. As a
result, the Fund may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these
particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence
affecting these issuers. These risks could adversely affect the
Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”), yield and total return.
The
market value of Registrant’s investment in bond is subject to fluctuation based
upon changes in interest rates relative to the investment’s maturity date and
the associated bond rating. Since Registrant’s investment in bond is
callable in 2013, the value of such investment may be adversely impacted in an
environment of rising interest rates in the event Registrant decides to
liquidate the investment prior to its call date. Although Registrant
may utilize the investment to pay for its operating expenses and/or for certain
Local Partnership matters, it otherwise intends to hold such investment to its
call date. Therefore, Registrant does not anticipate any material
adverse impact in connection with such investment.
Item
4. Controls
and Procedures.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by Registrant in reports that
Registrant files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and timely reported as provided in SEC rules and
forms. Registrant periodically reviews the design and effectiveness
of its disclosure controls and procedures, including compliance with various
laws and regulations that apply to its operations. Registrant makes
modifications to improve the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls
and procedures, and may take other corrective action, if its reviews identify a
need for such modifications or actions. In designing and evaluating
the disclosure controls and procedures, Registrant recognizes that any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Registrant
has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and the participation of
its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the Manager, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the three months ended June 29,
2010. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer of the Manager concluded that Registrant’s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of June 29, 2010.
Item
4T. Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting.
There
were no changes in Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting during
the three months ended June 29, 2010 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, Registrant’s internal control over
financial reporting.
