INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. IV

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2012

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – General

 

The consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2012, include the accounts of Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. IV (the “Partnership”) and eleven other limited partnerships (“subsidiary partnerships”, “subsidiaries” or “Local Partnerships”) owning affordable apartment complexes (“Properties”) that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credits. Some of the Properties may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credits. The general partner of the Partnership is Related Independence L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”), which is managed by an affiliate of Centerline Holding Company (“Centerline”), the ultimate parent of the manager of the general partner of the General Partner. For information on Centerline’s audited balance sheet for the most recent fiscal year, see http://sec.gov. Through the rights of the Partnership and/or an affiliate of the General Partner, which affiliate has a contractual obligation to act on behalf of the Partnership to remove the general partner of the subsidiary partnerships (“Local General Partners”) and to approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership has a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary partnerships.

 

For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership’s third fiscal quarter ends December 31^st. The third quarter for all subsidiaries ends September 30^th. Accounts of the subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from October 1^st through December 31^st. The Partnership’s fiscal quarter ends three months after the subsidiaries in order to allow adequate time for the subsidiaries’ financial statements to be prepared and consolidated. All intercompany accounts and transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests amounted to approximately $(628,000) and $4,000 and $(1,090,000) and $(21,000) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Partnership’s investment in each subsidiary is equal to the respective subsidiary’s partners’ equity less noncontrolling interest capital, if any.

 

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted or condensed. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.

 

The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of the General Partner of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and its cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. However, the operating results and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2012, the FASB issued under Accounting Standards update No. 2012-02 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.”  The objective of these amendments in this ASU is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories.  The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

NOTE 2 – Related Party Transactions

 

A)

Related Party Expenses

 

An affiliate of the General Partner has a 0.01% interest as a special limited partner in each of the Local Partnerships.

The costs incurred to related parties from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		December 31,								December 31,
		2012				2011*				2012				2011*

Total general and administrative-related parties		$	14,815			$	18,993			$	52,165			$	55,712
* Reclassified for comparative purposes.

 

(a)

The General Partner is entitled to receive a partnership management fee, after payment of all Partnership expenses, which together with the annual local administrative fees will not exceed a maximum of 0.5% per annum of invested assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), for administering the affairs of the Partnership. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the partnership management fee will be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion based upon its review of the Partnership’s investments. Unpaid partnership management fees for any year are deferred without interest and will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all Partnership liabilities have been made other than those owed to the General Partner and its affiliates. Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to approximately $2,560,000 and $2,388,000 were accrued and unpaid as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Current year partnership management fees may be paid out of operating reserves or refinancing and sales proceeds. However, the General Partner cannot demand payment of the deferred fees beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them.

 

(b)

The Partnership reimburses the General Partner and its affiliates for actual Partnership operating expenses incurred by the General Partner and its affiliates on the Partnership’s behalf. The amount of reimbursement from the Partnership is limited by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Another affiliate of the General Partner performs asset monitoring for the Partnership. These services include site visits and evaluations of the subsidiary partnerships’ performance. Expense reimbursements and asset monitoring fees owed to the General Partner and its affiliates amounting to approximately $279,000 and $127,000 were accrued and unpaid as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The General Partner does not intend to demand payment of the deferred payables beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them. The Partnership anticipates that these will be paid, if at all, from working capital reserves or future sales proceeds.

 

(c)

Independence SLP IV L.P., a special limited partner of the subsidiary partnerships, is entitled to receive a local administrative fee of up to $5,000 per year from each subsidiary partnership. Local administrative fees owed to Independence SLP IV L.P. amounting to $265,000 and $272,000 were accrued and unpaid as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. These fees have been deferred in certain cases and the Partnership anticipates that they will be paid, if at all, from working capital reserves or future sales proceeds.

 

As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Partnership owed the General Partner and its affiliates approximately $0 and $191,000, respectively for advances made by the General Partner and its affiliates to a Local Partnership. These advances represented historical amounts loaned in conjunction with the initial capital contributions to the Local Partnerships. Such amounts were written off during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 in conjunction with the sale of one Local Partnership (see Note 4).

NOTE 3– Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments (all of which are held for nontrading purposes) for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investments Available-for-Sale and Cash Held in Escrow

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Mortgage Notes Payable

 

The Partnership adopted FASB ASC 820 – “Fair Value Measurements” for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances, but discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). This standard provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs that reflect the Partnership’s own assumptions.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As permitted, the Partnership chose not to elect the fair value option as prescribed by ASC 825 – “Financial Instruments” – Including an Amendment of ASC 320 – “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”, for our financial assets and liabilities that had not been previously carried at fair value. Therefore, the Partnership did not elect to fair value any additional items under ASC 825.

 

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange. The following are financial instruments for which the Partnership’s estimate of fair value differs from the carrying amounts:

 

		At December 31, 2012								At March 31, 2012
		Carrying								Carrying
		Amount				Fair Value				Amount*				Fair Value
LIABILITIES:
Mortgage notes		$	18,178,831			$	10,435,091			$	23,401,551			$	13,194,441
* Reclassified for comparative purpose.

 

For the mortgage notes, fair value is estimated using Level 3 inputs and calculated using present value cash flow models based on a discount rate. Centerline has not been active in the tender option bond market, through which these bonds have been securitized in the past. To assist in valuing these notes, the Partnership held separate discussions with various third party investment banks who are leaders in the municipal bond business. The discussions produced assumptions that were based on market conditions as well as the credit quality of the underlying property partnerships, which held the mortgage notes, to determine what discount rates to utilize.

 

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

 

For the interest rate swap, in the absence of readily determinable fair values, the fair value is estimated by the Partnership with the assistance of valuations obtained from the Bank of Hawaii (the “Bank”), at which the swap transaction is held. The interest rate swap is valued based on the Bank’s estimate of the net present value of the expected cash flows from each transaction subject to the interest rate swap using relevant mid-market data inputs and based on the assumption of no unusual market conditions or forced liquidation. The preceding method described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Partnership believes its valuation method is appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

 

On August 24, 2010, GP Kaneohe Limited Partnership (“Kaneohe”), a subsidiary partnership, entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Bank as a prerequisite for obtaining refinancing on its original mortgage note payable in the amount of $2,297,000. The agreement provides a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount, as provided in the agreement, in exchange for the variable rate. The swap contract became effective September 1, 2010. The following are the terms under the swap:

 

Fixed swap – notional amount		$	3,050,000
Fixed rate			4.65	%
Variable rate at September 30, 2012			3.75	%
Termination date			September 1, 2015

 

 

Fair value for the interest rate swap is estimated using Level 2 inputs. At September 30, 2012, the fair value of the interest rate swap was a reduction of the mortgage note liability of approximately $2,000.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 815-10, Derivative Instruments (“ASC 815-10”), derivative instruments not meeting the criteria for hedge accounting (or for which an entity elects not to apply hedge accounting to the derivative in the event that the criteria are met) are recorded at fair value with any change in fair value reflected in the statement of operations in the period of change.

NOTE 4 – Sale of Properties

 

The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments. It is anticipated that this process will continue to take a number of years. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in two Local Partnerships and one Local Partnership sold its property and the related assets and liabilities. Through December 31, 2012, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interest in four Local Partnerships and the property and the related assets and liabilities of two Local Partnerships have been sold. There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its eight remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investments. All gains and losses on sales are included in discontinued operations.

 

On December 31, 2012, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Belmont/McBride Apartments Limited Partnership (“Belmont”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $10. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2,646,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of the same amount at the date of sale, which was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2012. In addition, the sale resulted in a noncash contribution to the Local Partnership from the General Partner of approximately $21,000 as a result of the write-off of fees owed by the Local Partnership to an affiliate of the General Partner.

 

On September 28, 2012, the property and the related assets and liabilities of New Zion Limited Partnership (“New Zion”) were sold to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a sales price of $2,450,000.  The Partnership received $709,755 as distributions from this sale after the repayment of the mortgages, other liabilities, closing costs and distributions to other partners of approximately $1,740,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $883,000 which was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. In addition, the sale resulted in a write-off of operating advances of approximately $191,000 owed to an affiliate of the General Partner. An adjustment to the gain of approximately $(226,000) was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, resulting in an overall gain of approximately $657,000.

 

On June 11, 2012, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Marlton Housing Partnership, L.P (“Marlton”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $1. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2,125,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of the same amount at the date of sale, which was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. An adjustment to the gain of approximately $(91,000) was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, resulting in an overall gain of approximately $2,034,000.

 

On December 13, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Sojourner Douglass, L.P (“Sojourner Douglass”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $212,500. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2,269,000 resulting from a disposition of a net deficiency in capital in the Local Partnership of approximately $2,056,000 and the $212,500 cash received from the sale, which was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  An adjustment to the gain of approximately $43,000 was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, resulting in an overall gain of approximately $2,312,000.  During the year ended March 31, 2011, in accordance with ASC 360, the Partnership deemed this property impaired and wrote it down to its fair value, which resulted in a loss on impairment of $17,000.

 

NOTE 5 – Discontinued Operations

 

The following table summarizes the financial position of the Local Partnerships that are classified as discontinued operations because the respective Local Partnerships were classified as assets held for sale or were sold. As of December 31, 2012, there were no assets classified as discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2012, Sojourner Douglass which was sold during the year ended March 31, 2012 and New Zion, which was classified as an asset held for sale, were classified as discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

a) Going Concern Consideration

 

At December 31, 2012, the Partnership’s liabilities exceeded assets by $13,221,176 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, had net income of $4,692,293, including gain on sale of properties of $5,336,670. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, partnership management fees of approximately $2,560,000 will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all other Partnership liabilities have been made other than those owed to the General Partner and its affiliates. As such, the General Partner cannot demand payment of these deferred fees beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them.

 

All of the mortgage payable balance of $18,178,831 and the accrued interest payable balance of $4,575,194 is of a nonrecourse nature and secured by the respective properties. The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments. Historically, the mortgage notes and accrued interest thereon have been assumed by the buyer in instances of sales of the Partnership’s interest or have been paid off from sales proceeds in instances of sales of the property. In most instances when the Partnership’s interest was sold and liabilities were assumed, the Partnership recognized a gain from the sale. The Partnership owns the limited partner interest in all its investments, and as such has no financial responsibility to fund operating losses incurred by the Local Partnerships. The maximum loss the Partnership would incur is its net investment in the respective Local Partnerships and the potential recapture of the Tax Credits if the investment is lost before the expiration of the Compliance Period. Dispositions of any investment in a Local Partnership should not impact the future results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition of the Partnership.

 

The Partnership has working capital reserves of approximately $929,000 at December 31, 2012. Such amount is considered sufficient to cover the Partnership’s day to day operating expenses, excluding fees to the General Partner, for at least the next year. The Partnership’s operating expenses, excluding the Local Partnerships’ expenses and related party expenses amounted to approximately $103,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

 

Management believes the above mitigating factors enable the Partnership to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

b) Uninsured Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Partnership maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various banks. The accounts at each bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

 

c) Leases

 

Certain subsidiary partnerships have land lease arrangements whereby they are obligated to pay $1 per annum through June 2054.

 

d) Cash Distributions

 

Cash distributions from the Local Partnerships to the Partnership are restricted by the provisions of the respective agreements of limited partnership of the Local Partnerships and/or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

 

e) Property Management Fees

 

Property management fees incurred by the Local Partnerships amounted to $82,315 and $84,097 and $261,425 and $261,092 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these fees, $46,967 and $45,376 and $152,159 and $148,307 were incurred to the Local General Partners for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which include $11,815 and $15,243 and $43,165 and $44,712 of fees relating to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

f) Other

 

The Partnership is subject to risks incident to potential losses arising from the management and ownership of real estate. The Partnership can also be affected by poor economic conditions generally; however no more than (25%) of the properties are located in any single state. There are also substantial risks associated with owning properties receiving government assistance, for example the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) to make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owners’ equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially liquidate its investments in subsidiary partnerships during the period that the subsidy agreements are in existence without HUD’s approval. Furthermore there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental assistance contract expires.

 

The Partnership and BACs holders began to recognize Tax Credits with respect to a Property when the Credit Period for such Property commenced (generally ten years from the date of investment or, if later, the date the Property is leased to qualified tenants). Because of the time required for the acquisition, completion and rent-up of Properties, the amount of Tax Credits per BAC gradually increased over the first three years of the Partnership. Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years were recognized in the 11th through 13th years. As of December 31, 2012, all the Local Partnerships have completed their Credit Periods. However, each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax Credit requirements until the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits. The Compliance Periods will continue through December 31, 2017 with respect to the Properties depending upon when the Compliance Period commenced.

 

g) Subsequent Events

 

We evaluated all subsequent events from the date of the balance sheet through the issuance date of this report and determined that there were no events or transactions occurring during the subsequent event reporting period which require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Partnership originally invested all of its net proceeds in fourteen Local Partnerships of which, approximately $148,000 remains to be paid to the Local Partnerships (including approximately $123,000 being held in escrow). The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all its investments. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in two Local Partnerships and one Local Partnership sold its property and the related assets and liabilities. Through December 31, 2012, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interests in four Local Partnerships and the property and the related assets and liabilities of two Local Partnerships have been sold. There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its eight remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investments. All gains and losses on sales are included in discontinued operations.

 

Short-Term

 

The Partnership’s primary sources of funds include: (i) working capital reserves; (ii) interest earned on the working capital reserves; (iii) cash distributions from operations of the Local Partnerships; and (iv) sales and/or refinance proceeds and distributions. Such funds, although minimal (other than possible sales and/or refinance proceeds and distributions), are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, distributions from operations of the Local Partnerships amounted to approximately $40,000 and $17,000, respectively. In addition, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, distributions to the Partnership from sales proceeds amounted to approximately $710,000 and $213,000, respectively. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to BACs holders in circumstances other than refinancing or sales.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership and its consolidated Local Partnerships increased approximately ($544,000). This increase was primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities ($374,000), proceeds from sale of property ($2,450,000) and a decrease in cash held in escrow relating to investing activities ($5,000), which exceeded costs paid relating to sale of property ($493,000), repayment of mortgage notes ($345,000), net repayments to local general partners and affiliates ($123,000) and distributions to noncontrolling interests ($1,323,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net income to net cash provided by operating activities is depreciation and amortization in the amount of approximately $583,000, gain on sale of properties of approximately $5,337,000 and a change from interest rate swap of approximately $(2,000).

 

Total expenses from operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest, unrealized loss on interest rate swap and general and administrative-related parties, totaled $763,082 and $715,781 and $2,089,105 and $2,074,698, respectively.

 

Accounts payable from operations as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were $265,182 and $375,336, respectively. Accounts payable are short term liabilities which are expected to be paid from operating cash flows, working capital balances at the Local Partnership level, Local General Partner advances and in certain circumstances advances from the Partnership. Accounts payable from discontinued operations totaled $0 and $9,017 as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Accrued interest payable from operations as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was $4,575,194 and $6,316,039, respectively. Accrued interest payable from discontinued operations totaled $0 and $3,282 as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Such amount represents the accrued interest on all mortgage loans, which include primary and secondary loans. Certain secondary loans have provisions such that interest is accrued but not payable until a future date. The Partnership anticipates the payment of accrued interest on the secondary loans (which make up the majority of the accrued interest payable amount and which have been accumulating since the Partnership’s investment in the respective Local Partnership) will be made from future refinancings or sales proceeds of the respective Local Partnerships. In addition, each Local Partnership’s mortgage notes are collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective Local Partnership, and are without further recourse to the Partnership. The maximum loss the Partnership would incur is its net investment in the respective Local Partnership.

 

The Partnership has an unconsolidated working capital reserve of approximately $929,000 at December 31, 2012. Such amount is considered sufficient to cover the Partnership’s day to day operating expenses, excluding fees to the General Partner, for at least the next year.

 

At December 31, 2012, the Partnership’s liabilities exceeded assets by $13,221,176 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, had net income of $4,692,293, including gain on sale of properties of $5,336,670. However, because 1) the provisions of the secondary loans defer the payment of accrued interest of the respective Local Partnerships and will be made from future refinancing or sales proceeds of the respective Local Partnerships, 2) the General Partner continues to defer the payment of fees as discussed below and in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, and 3) the Partnership has sufficient unconsolidated working capital reserves to cover the Partnership’s day to day operating expenses, the Partnership (and the applicable Local Partnerships) believes it has sufficient liquidity and ability to generate cash and to meet existing and known or reasonably likely future cash requirements over both the short and long term.

 

Long-Term

 

Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to approximately $2,560,000 and $2,388,000 were accrued and unpaid as of December 31, 2012, and March 31, 2012, respectively, and are included in the line item Due to general partners and affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets. Unpaid partnership management fees for any year are to be deferred without interest and will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all Partnership liabilities have been made other than to those owed to the General Partner and its affiliates.

 

All other payables are expected to be paid, if at all, from working capital reserves. See Note 2 in Item 1 for further discussion of amounts due to the General Partner and its affiliates. The General Partner does not anticipate making any future advances of operating funds to any of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. Even if a situation arose where the General Partner and its affiliates needed to but were not able to make operating advances in the future due to lack of funds, the only impact on the Partnership would be that it would lose its investment in that particular Local Partnership. The Partnership’s ability to continue its operations would not be affected.

 

 

 

Based on the foregoing, the Partnership’s going concern consideration is mitigated by factors as discussed in Note 6a in Item 1.

 

Since the maximum loss the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in the respective subsidiary partnerships, the resolution of any existing contingencies is not anticipated to impact future results of operations, liquidity or financial condition in a material way. However, the Partnership’s loss of its investment in a Local Partnership may result in recapture of Tax Credits if the investment is lost before expiration of the Compliance Period.

 

Except as described above, management is not aware of any trends or events, commitments or uncertainties, which have not otherwise been disclosed that will or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes the only impact would be from laws that have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is diversified by the location of the Properties around the United States so that if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the remaining Properties in the portfolio may be experiencing upswings. However the geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general downturn in the national economy. The Partnership had originally invested the proceeds of its Offering in 14 Local Partnerships, all of which had their Tax Credits fully in place during the Credit Periods. As of December 31, 2012, all the Local Partnerships have completed their Credit Periods. However, each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax Credit requirements until the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits. The Compliance Periods will continue through December 31, 2017 with respect to the Properties depending upon when the Compliance Period commenced.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Partnership has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

See Note 3 in Item 1 for methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments (all of which are held for nontrading purposes) for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of certain accounting estimates considered critical by the Partnership. The summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of the Partnership’s accounting policies included in Item 8, Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest and any other costs incurred in acquiring the Properties. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in earnings. The Partnership complies with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the Property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time, Property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using the direct capitalization method) when the Property is considered to be impaired and the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value.

 

At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of a specific asset, said asset is adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. These assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not depreciated. Property and equipment that are held for sale are included in discontinued operations. There are no assets classified as property and equipment-held for sale as of December 31, 2012.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership has not recorded any loss on impairment of assets. Through December 31, 2012, the Partnership has recorded approximately $27,947,000 as an aggregate loss on impairment of property.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental income is earned primarily under standard residential operating leases and is typically due the first day of each month, but can vary by Property due to the terms of the tenant leases. Rental income is recognized when earned and charged to tenants’ accounts receivable if not received by the due date. Rental payments received in advance of the due date are deferred until earned. Rental subsidies are recognized as rental income during the month in which it is earned.

 

Other revenues are recorded when earned and consist of the following items: interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances and cash held in escrow balances, income from forfeited security deposits, late charges, laundry and vending income and other rental related items.

 

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any federal income taxes.

Results of Operations

 

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, consisted primarily of the results of the Partnership’s investment in Local Partnerships. The following discussion excludes the Partnership’s results of its discontinued operations, which are not reflected below.

 

Rental income increased approximately 1% and 3% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011, primarily due to an increase in occupancies and rental rates at several Local Partnerships.

 

Total expenses, excluding repairs and maintenance and unrealized loss on interest rate swap remained fairly consistent, with a decrease of less than 1% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011.

 

Repairs and maintenance expense increased approximately $37,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the corresponding period in 2011, primarily due to monitoring and protection service upgrades and carpet replacement at one Local Partnership.

 

Change in fair value of interest rate swap decreased by approximately $2,000 and $78,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011, primarily due to the change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreement at one Local Partnership.
