NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC ("MUNIMAE" and, together with its
subsidiaries, the "COMPANY") provides debt and equity financing to developers of
multifamily housing. The Company invests in tax-exempt bonds, or interests in
bonds, issued by state and local governments or their agencies or authorities to
finance multifamily housing developments. Although these tax-exempt bonds are
not general obligations of state and local governments, or the agencies or
authorities that issue the bonds, the bonds are secured by the rents and other
revenues of the housing developments financed by the bonds and by the underlying
real estate. Interest income derived from the majority of these bond investments
is exempt income for federal income tax purposes.
The Company is also a mortgage banker. Mortgage banking activities
include the origination, investment in and servicing of investments in
multifamily housing, both for its own account and on behalf of third parties.
These investments generate taxable income.
The Company also acquires and sells interests in partnerships that
provide low-income housing tax credits for investors. The Company earns
syndication fees on the placement of these interests with investors. The Company
also earns guarantee fees for providing guarantees on certain tax credit funds
and asset management fees for managing the low-income housing tax credit funds
it has syndicated.
The Company also invests in other housing-related debt and equity
investments, including equity investments in income-producing real estate
operating partnerships and tax-exempt bonds, or interests in bonds, secured by
student housing or assisted living developments, and tax-exempt community
development bonds, typically secured by special taxes imposed on single-family
or other community development districts or by assessments imposed on the
residents or other owners of lots in those developments.
MuniMae is a Delaware limited liability company. As a limited liability
company, MuniMae combines the limited liability, governance and management
characteristics of a corporation with the pass-through income features of a
partnership. Since MuniMae is classified as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes, no recognition of income taxes is made at the corporate level (except
for income earned through subsidiaries of the Company organized as
corporations). Instead, the distributive share of MuniMae's income, deductions
and credits is included in each shareholder's income tax return.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair
statement of the results for the periods presented. These results have been
9
determined on the basis of accounting principles and policies discussed in Note
1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2002 (the "COMPANY'S 2002 FORM 10-K"). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or
omitted. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2002
Form 10-K. Certain 2002 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003
presentation.
The Company posts all Securities and Exchange Commission reports on
their website at http://www.mmafin.com. These reports are also available free of
charge by contacting Angela Richardson in Investor Relations at 621 E. Pratt
Street, 3rd Floor, Baltimore, Maryland, 21202 or 888-788-3863.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("FAS
150"). FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. It requires that an issuer classify financial instruments with certain
debt-like characteristics as liabilities. The scope of FAS 150 includes
financial instruments issued in the form of mandatorily redeemable shares. These
types of shares embody an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to
redeem them by transferring assets at a specified date. Management has
determined that the Company's preferred shareholders' equity in a subsidiary
company falls within the scope of FAS 150. Therefore, for the third quarter of
2003, the Company has reclassified the liquidation preference value of its
preferred shareholders' equity of $168.0 million to a separate line in the
liability section of the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, offering
costs of $7.5 million related to these preferred shares have been reclassified
to other assets and are being amortized through the mandatory tender dates of
the preferred shares. Amounts previously classified as distributions to
preferred shareholders are now recorded as interest expense.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").
FIN 46 requires the consolidation of a company's equity investment in a variable
interest entity ("VIE") if the company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and
if risks are not effectively dispersed among the owners of the VIE. The company
is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE if the company absorbs
the majority of the losses of the VIE. FIN 46 is effective for VIEs created
after January 31, 2003. For any VIE in which the Company held an interest that
it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 was effective for the first interim
reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Financial Accounting
Standards Board has extended the effective date until the first reporting period
ending after December 15, 2003 and the Company has elected to defer adoption of
FIN 46 until that time. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of FIN 46
on the tax credit syndication funds that a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company sponsors and asset manages, as well as investments
10
accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company will continue
to review new investments in order to determine if they should be accounted for
in accordance with FIN 46.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION
On July 1, 2003, the Company acquired the Housing and Community
Investing ("HCI") business of Lend Lease Real Estate Investments for $102
million in cash. Through the integration of HCI's affordable housing tax credit
syndication operation into MuniMae's existing operations, the Company becomes
one of the nation's largest players in the affordable housing industry. The
acquisition, along with working capital needs, was financed by a $120 million
secured term credit facility provided by a syndicate of banks led by the Royal
Bank of Canada. HCI is a syndicator of low income housing tax credit equity
investments. The HCI business is owned by MMA Financial TC Corp. ("TC CORP"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company's results for the third
quarter of 2003 reflect a full quarter of activity from TC Corp. In connection
with this acquisition, the Company's operating subsidiary, MuniMae Midland, LLC,
has been renamed MMA Financial, LLC.
The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase. The total
purchase price was $105 million, which includes acquisition costs. The cost of
the acquisition was allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as summarized below:

The Company assigned $32.0 million to asset management contracts. These
intangible
11
assets are subject to amortization and have a weighted average useful life of
2.5 years. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company recognized
$2.4 million of amortization expense and the unamortized balance of the asset
management contracts was $29.6 million at September 30, 2003. The estimated
amortization expense on the asset management contracts for the succeeding five
years is as follows:
(000s)
2004 $4,716
2005 4,188
2006 3,604
2007 3,130

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN TAX-EXEMPT BONDS
The Company originates investments in tax-exempt bonds and taxable
loans primarily to the affordable multifamily housing industry. Tax-exempt bonds
are issued by state and local government authorities to finance multifamily
housing developments or other real estate financings. The bonds are typically
secured by nonrecourse mortgage loans or tax levies on the underlying
properties. The Company's sources of capital to fund these lending activities
include proceeds from equity offerings, debt financings, securitizations and
lines of credit. The Company earns interest income from its investment in
tax-exempt bonds and taxable loans. The Company also earns origination and
construction administration fees from originating the bonds and servicing the
bonds during the construction period. For further discussion of the general
terms of tax-exempt bonds see Note 1 to the Company's 2002 Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company held $792.3
million and
12
$770.3 million of tax-exempt bonds, respectively. The following table summarizes
tax-exempt bonds by type.

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company invested in tax-exempt
bonds with a face amount of $24.6 million for $23.7 million. These investments
represent new primary investments (bonds which the Company originated).
The Company invested an additional $17.9 million in existing tax-exempt
draw down bonds with a face amount of $17.9 million. Since the end of 2002, the
Company has structured tax-exempt bonds that allow the borrower to make draws on
the bonds throughout the construction period. The initial draws on these bonds
have been reported as new primary investments in prior quarters.
The Company also purchased a tax-exempt bond with a face amount of $9.5
million for $9.5 million from the secondary market.
The Company sold two tax-exempt bonds with a face amount of $21.3
million for a $2.2
13
million gain in the third quarter of 2003.
In order to facilitate the securitization of certain assets at higher
leverage ratios than otherwise available, the Company has pledged additional
bonds as collateral for senior interests in certain securitization trusts and
credit enhancement facilities. See Note 1 to the Company's 2002 Form 10-K for a
description of securitizations. At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the
total carrying amount of the tax-exempt bonds pledged as collateral for such
trusts and facilities was $368.7 million and $372.9 million, respectively.
NOTE 4 - LOANS RECEIVABLE
The Company's loans receivable consist primarily of construction loans,
permanent loans, supplemental loans and other taxable loans. For further
discussion of the general terms of loans held by the Company and the allowance
for loan losses see the description of mortgage banking activities in Note 1 to
the Company's 2002 Form 10-K. The following table summarizes loans receivable by
loan type at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.

The Company has loans receivable held for sale of $9.1 million and
$39.1 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. These
loans are sold to Fannie Mae and third party conduit lenders. Due to the short
time the Company holds these loans, carrying value approximates fair value.
The Company pledges its construction loans, permanent loans and
supplemental loans as collateral for the Company's notes payable and line of
credit borrowings. In addition, in order to facilitate the securitization of
certain assets at higher leverage ratios than otherwise available, the Company
has pledged additional taxable loans to a pool that acts as collateral for
senior interests in certain securitization trusts and credit enhancement
facilities. At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the total carrying
amount of the loans receivable pledged as collateral was $436.1 million and
$417.1 million, respectively.
NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIPS
The Company's investments in partnerships consist of equity interests
in real estate operating
14
partnerships. The Company's investments in partnerships are accounted for using
the equity method and are recorded as "Investments in partnerships" on the
Balance Sheet. A complete discussion of the Company's investments in
partnerships is contained in Note 4 to the Company's 2002 Form 10-K.

(1) These investments are real estate operating partnerships owned by tax credit
funds where the Company provides a guarantee or otherwise has continuing
involvement in the underlying assets of the fund. As a result, the Company
includes the assets of the funds in its consolidated balance sheets.
(2) The Company acquires, through limited partnership interests, equity
interests in properties expected to earn tax credits and, as and when it has a
sufficient number of such limited partnership interests and has identified tax
credit investors, transfers those interests to a syndicated fund for the
investors' benefit. The Company typically owns these partnership interests for
three to nine months before they are transferred to a fund.
NOTE 6 - RESIDUAL INTERESTS IN BOND SECURITIZATIONS
At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company's residual
interests in bond securitizations are investments in Residual Interest
Tax-Exempt Securities Receipts ("RITES(SM)"). For further discussion of the
Company's securitization programs see Note 1 to the Company's 2002 Form 10-K.
The following table provides certain information with respect to the residual
interests in bond securitizations held by the Company at September 30, 2003 and

(1) The amounts disclosed represent the fair values of all the Company's
investments in residual interests in bond securitizations at the reporting date.
(2) The aggregate negative fair value of the investments is included in
liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The negative fair value of these
investments is considered temporary and is not indicative of the future earnings
on these investments.
(3) The amount of outstanding Puttable Floating Option Tax-Exempt Receipts
("P-FLOATS(SM)"), which are senior to the Company's RITES(SM) investments and
which are not reflected in the Company's balance sheet, was $192.5 million and
$177.8 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
The Company purchased $5,000 (face amount) of RITES(SM) for $68,000 in
the third quarter of 2003.
RITES(SM) Valuation Analysis
The fair value of a RITES(SM) investment is derived from the quote on
the underlying bond reduced by the outstanding corresponding P-FLOATs(SM) face
amount. The Company bases the fair value of the underlying bond, which has a
limited market, on quotes from external sources, such as brokers, for these or
similar bonds. The fair value of the underlying bond includes a prepayment risk
factor. The prepayment risk factor is reflected in the fair value of the bond by
assuming the bond will prepay at the most adverse time to the Company given
current market rates and estimates of future market rates. Based on this, an
adverse change in prepayment risk would not have an effect on the fair value of
the Company's RITES(SM) investments. In addition, the RITES(SM) investments are
not subject to prepayment risk as the term of the securitization trusts is only
for a period during which the underlying bond cannot be prepaid. Based on
historical experience, credit losses were estimated to be zero.
At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, a 10% and 20% adverse
change in key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company's
RITES(SM) would have the following impact.
16
(000s) September 30, 2003 December 31, 2002
------------------ -----------------
Fair value of retained interests, net $ 10,019 $ 9,592
Residual cash flows discount rate (annual rate) 1.9% - 9.2% 3.8% - 8.1%
Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change ($ 5,826) ($ 9,108)
Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change ($ 11,282) ($ 17,444)
The sensitivity analysis presented above is hypothetical in nature and
presented for information purposes only. The analysis shows the effect on fair
value of a variation in one assumption and is calculated without considering the
effect of changes in any other assumption. In reality, changes in one assumption
may affect the others, which may magnify or offset the sensitivities.
NOTE 7 - INVESTMENT IN DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company's investments
in derivative financial instruments consisted of interest rate swaps and put
option contracts. For further discussion of the Company's investment in
derivative financial instruments see Note 6 to the Company's 2002 Form 10-K. The
following table provides certain information with respect to the derivative
financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2003 and December 31,

derivatives at the reporting date.
(3) The aggregate negative fair value of the investments is included in
liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The negative fair value of these
investments is considered temporary and is not indicative of the future earnings
on these investments.
NOTE 8 - NOTES PAYABLE AND DEBT
The Company's notes payable consist primarily of notes payable and
advances under line of credit arrangements, which are used to: (1) finance
construction lending needs; (2) finance working capital needs; (3) warehouse
real estate operating partnerships before they are placed into tax credit equity
funds; and (4) warehouse permanent loans before they are sold. The Company's
short- and long-term debt relates to securitization transactions that the
Company has recorded as borrowings (see Notes 1 and 9 to the Company's 2002 Form
10-K). The following table summarizes notes

Covenant Compliance
Under the terms of the various credit facilities, the Company is
required to comply with covenants including net worth, interest coverage,
collateral and other terms and conditions. The Company was in compliance with
its debt covenants or has obtained waivers for events of non-compliance at
September 30, 2003.
NOTE 9 - TAX CREDIT EQUITY GUARANTEE LIABILITY
As part of the acquisition of HCI, the Company is providing guarantees
to Lend Lease related to certain tax credit equity syndication funds where Lend
Lease is providing a guarantee to investors or a third party. As a result of the
guarantees, the Company is considered to have continuing involvement with the
assets of the related tax credit equity funds and to have effective control over
the assets in the funds. Therefore, the Company accounts for its involvement in
these funds under the financing method. Under the financing method, the Company
reports the assets of the funds, consisting primarily of restricted cash and
investments in partnerships, in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. In
addition, the investor capital contributions are reported as a tax credit equity
guarantee liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The net income
(loss) from the tax credit equity funds are reported in the appropriate line
items of the Company's consolidated statements of income. The tax credit equity
guarantee liability is relieved as the guarantees expire or is amortized into
income over the life of the guarantee and reported in other income in the
Company's consolidated statements of income. The following table shows the
changes in the tax credit equity guarantee liability since the acquisition of
HCI:

NOTE 10 - PREFERRED SHARES SUBJECT TO MANDATORY REDEMPTION
As a result of the adoption of FAS 150 (discussed in Note 1), the
Company has reclassified the liquidation preference value of its preferred
shareholders' equity of $168.0 million to a separate line in the liability
section of the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, offering costs of $7.5
million related to these preferred shares have been reclassified to other assets
and are being amortized through the mandatory tender dates of the preferred
shares. Amounts previously classified as income allocable to preferred
shareholders are now recorded as interest expense.
At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had four
classes of preferred shares outstanding: Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares
("SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES"), Series B Cumulative Preferred Shares ("SERIES B
PREFERRED SHARES"), Series A-1 Cumulative Preferred Shares ("SERIES A-1
PREFERRED SHARES") and Series B-1 Subordinate Cumulative Preferred Shares
("SERIES B-1 PREFERRED SHARES"); all four Series, collectively, the "TE BOND SUB
PREFERRED SHARES". The following discussion summarized the significant terms of
the TE Bond Sub Preferred Shares.
The Series A and A-1 Preferred Shares bear interest at 6.875% and 6.30%
per annum, respectively, or, if lower, the aggregate net income of TE Bond Sub.
The Series A and A-1 Preferred Shares have a senior claim to the income derived
from the investments owned by TE Bond Sub. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares are
equal in priority of payment to the Series A Preferred Shares. The Series B and
B-1 Preferred Shares bear interest at 7.75% and 6.80% per annum, respectively,
or, if lower, the aggregate net income of TE Bond Sub, after interest payments
distributions to the Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Shares. The Series B-1
Preferred Shares are equal in priority of payment to the Series B Preferred
Shares. Any income from TE Bond Sub available after payment of the cumulative
distributions of the TE Bond Sub Preferred Shares is allocated to the Common
Shares. Cash distributions on the TE Bond Sub Preferred Shares will be paid
quarterly on each January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31. The TE Bond Sub
Preferred Shares are subject to remarketing on specified dates as indicated in
the table below. On the remarketing date, the remarketing agent will seek to
remarket the shares at the lowest distribution rate that would result in a
resale of the TE Bond Sub Preferred Shares at a price equal to par plus all
accrued but unpaid distributions. The TE Bond Sub Preferred Shares will be
subject to mandatory tender on specified dates, as indicated below, and on all
subsequent remarketing dates at a price equal to par plus all accrued but unpaid
distributions. The following table provides a summary of certain terms of the TE
Bond Sub Preferred Shares.

Notes:
(1) As a Federal National Mortgage Association ("FANNIE MAE") DUS lender and
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") loan servicer, the
Company may share in losses relating to underperforming real estate
mortgage loans delivered to Fannie Mae and GNMA. More specifically, if the
borrower fails to make a payment on a DUS loan originated by the Company
and sold to Fannie Mae, of principal, interest, taxes or insurance
premiums, the Company may be required to make servicing advances to Fannie
Mae. Also, the Company may participate in a deficiency after foreclosure on
DUS and GNMA loans. As a DUS lender, the Company must maintain a minimum
net worth and collateral with a custodian. The term of the loss sharing
agreement is based on the contractual requirements of the underlying loans
delivered to Fannie Mae and GNMA, which varies to a maximum of 40 years.
(2) The Company provides payment or performance guarantees for certain
borrowings under line of credit facilities with a term of one year or less.
The amount outstanding under these lines of credit is $266.3 million at
September 30, 2003. This amount is included in notes payable in the
Company's consolidated balance sheet.
(3) The Company acquires and sells interests in partnerships that provide
low-income housing tax credits for investors. In conjunction with the sale
of these partnership interests, the Company may provide performance
guarantees on the underlying properties owned by the partnerships or
guarantees to the fund investors. These guarantees have various expirations
to a maximum term of 18 years.
(4) The Company has entered into arrangements that require the Company to make
payment in the event a specified third party fails to perform on its
financial obligation. The Company typically provides these guarantees in
conjunction with the sale of an asset to a third party or the Company's
investment in equity ventures. The term of the guarantee varies based on
loan payoff schedules or Company divestitures.
(5) The Company has entered into put option agreements with counterparties
whereby the counterparty has the right to sell to the Company, and the
Company has the obligation to buy, an underlying investment at a specified
price. These put option agreements expire at various dates between February
1, 2006 and April 1, 2007.
(6) The Company provides a guarantee of the repayment on losses incurred under
letters of credit issued by third parties or provide a guarantee to provide
substitute letters of credit at a predetermined future date. In addition,
the Company may provide a payment guarantee for certain assets in
securitization programs. These guarantees expire at various dates between
March 1, 2004 and September 1, 2007.
(7) The Company has entered into indemnification contracts, which require the
guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an
underlying investment that is related to an asset or liability of the
guaranteed party. These agreements typically require the Company to
reimburse the guaranteed party for legal and other costs in the event of an
adverse judgment in a lawsuit or the imposition of additional taxes due to
a change in the tax law or an adverse interpretation of the tax law. The
term of the indemnification varies based on the underlying program life,
loan payoffs, or Company divestitures. Based on the terms of the underlying
contracts, the maximum exposure amount only includes amounts that can be
reasonably estimated at this time; the actual exposure amount could vary
significantly.
NOTE 12 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators in the
basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") calculations for common shares for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. The Company had
30,000 options to purchase common shares that were not included in the
computation of diluted EPS at September 30, 2003 due to the options' exercise
prices being greater than the average price of the common shares for the period.
The effect of all potentially dilutive securities was included in the
calculation for September 30, 2002.

NOTE 14 - NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' SHARE PLANS AND EMPLOYEE SHARE INCENTIVE PLANS
The Company accounts for both the non-employee director share plans and
the employee share incentive plans (see Note 1 and Note 15 to the Company's 2002

NOTE 16 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 2003, the Company sold to the public 3.6 million common
shares (including the entire underwriters' overallotment option) at a price of
$24.40 per share. The majority of the $83.6 million net proceeds was used to
repay debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of HCI.
27
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- --------------
GENERAL BUSINESS
The Company provides debt and equity financing to developers of
multifamily housing. The Company invests in tax-exempt bonds, or interests in
bonds, issued by state and local governments or their agencies or authorities to
finance multifamily housing developments. Although these tax-exempt bonds are
not general obligations of state and local governments, or the agencies or
authorities that issue the bonds, the bonds are secured by the rents and other
revenues of the housing developments financed by the bonds and by the underlying
real estate. Interest income derived from the majority of these bond investments
is exempt income for federal income tax purposes.
The Company is also a mortgage banker. Mortgage banking activities
include the origination, investment in and servicing of investments in
multifamily housing, both for its own account and on behalf of third parties.
These investments generate taxable income.
The Company also acquires and sells interests in partnerships that
provide low-income housing tax credits for investors. The Company earns
syndication fees on the placement of these interests with investors. The Company
also earns guarantee fees for providing guarantees on certain tax credit funds
and asset management fees for managing the low-income housing tax credit funds
it has syndicated.
The Company also invests in other housing-related debt and equity
investments, including equity investments in income-producing real estate
operating partnerships and tax-exempt bonds, or interests in bonds, secured by
student housing or assisted living developments, and tax-exempt community
development bonds, typically secured by special taxes imposed on single-family
or other community development districts or by assessments imposed on the
residents or other owners of lots in those developments.
Acquisition of Housing and Community Investing business of Lend Lease Real
Estate Investments
On July 1, 2003, the Company acquired the Housing and Community
Investing ("HCI") business of Lend Lease Real Estate Investments for $102
million in cash. The acquisition was financed by a $120 million secured term
credit facility provided by a syndicate of banks led by the Royal Bank of
Canada. HCI is a syndicator of low income housing tax credit equity investments.
The HCI business is owned by MMA Financial TC Corp. ("TC CORP"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and the Company's results for the third quarter of
2003 reflect a full quarter of activity from TC Corp. In connection with this
acquisition, the Company's operating subsidiary, MuniMae Midland, LLC, has been
renamed MMA Financial, LLC.
28
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's sources of capital to fund its tax-exempt bond lending
activities include proceeds from equity offerings, securitizations, and lines of
credit. The Company's sources of capital to fund its mortgage banking activities
include (1) warehousing facilities and short-term lines of credit with
commercial banks and pension funds, (2) debt and equity financings, either
through the Midland Affordable Housing Group Trust or the Midland Multifamily
Equity REIT ("MMER"), and (3) working capital.
The Company relies on the regular availability of capital from pension
funds, certain government sponsored entities ("GSES"), equity offerings, bank
lines of credit and securitization transactions to finance its growth. The
Company expects to meet its cash needs in the short-term, which consist
primarily of funding new investments, paying distributions to shareholders and
funding mortgage banking activities, from equity offering proceeds, cash on hand
and bank lines of credit. The Company expects to have access to adequate capital
to meet its 2003 production targets. To continue to grow these activities, the
Company will need to increase its access to capital in future years. Therefore,
the Company continues to expand its line of credit capacity and to complete
equity offerings as discussed below.
For the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company structured
$101.0 million in tax-exempt bond transactions. This total counts construction
and permanent financing components separately, even though they relate to the
same real estate project, for consistency with tracking of the Company's taxable
lending, where construction and permanent loans are legally distinct loans. In
addition, the Company originated $48.0 million of construction loans, $54.4
million of permanent loans and $17.8 million of supplemental loans, all of which
generate taxable interest income. The Company also closed $145.1 million for
investment in syndicated tax credit equity funds.
Activity for the third quarter of 2003 related to liquidity and capital
resources is discussed below. For a complete discussion of liquidity and capital
resources, see the Company's 2002 Form 10-K.
Lines of Credit
During the third quarter of 2003, the Company obtained a $120 million
secured term credit facility provided by a syndicate of banks led by the Royal
Bank of Canada. This facility was used to finance the acquisition of HCI. In
addition, the Company expanded the capacity of a general bank line of credit
used to warehouse real estate operating partnerships before the partnerships are
placed into tax credit equity funds from $30 million to $75 million.
Equity Offerings
In October 2003, the Company sold to the public 3.6 million common
shares (including the entire underwriters' overallotment option) at a price of
$24.40 per share. The majority of the $83.6 million in net proceeds of this
offering was used to repay debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of
HCI.
29
Leverage
As a result of the acquisition of HCI and the adoption of new
accounting standards, the Company's on-balance sheet liabilities increased
significantly in the third quarter. The GAAP rules that caused this increase
include Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for
Sales of Real Estate" ("SFAS 66"), and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 66 requires
consolidation of certain transactions and financings with respect to which the
Company believes it has minimal risk of loss, and SFAS 150 requires the
reclassification to debt of certain securities which were previously classified
as preferred equity interests in a subsidiary. Management believes that these
changes may cause GAAP-derived measures of leverage to provide a less accurate
picture of the Company's actual economic leverage and may over time tend to
exaggerate the Company's leverage-related risks. In addition, a new standard,
Financial Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities"
("FIN 46"), may also have a similar effect on leverage. See New Accounting
Pronouncements for further discussion of FIN 46.
Consequently, the Company has prepared the following table in an effort
to enable investors to gain a better understanding of the various components of
the Company's published leverage measure. The table provides an overview,
organized according to major categories of invested assets or product types, of
the Company's assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2003. The Company
believes this presentation provides helpful detail on the components of the
Company's leverage and how the Company's assets and liabilities relate to those
major categories. The table also provides data on the Company's off-balance
sheet bond securitizations as of September 30, 2003 (see column I), in order to
permit comparison of the Company's leverage based on the GAAP balance sheet
alone to leverage inclusive of those off-balance sheet items. Readers are
cautioned that (1) this table does not reflect formal operating units or
business segments within the Company, (2) shareholder's equity for each of
columns A through G was calculated by taking assets minus liabilities for each
column, and the related columnar shareholder equity figures should not be
construed as representing the actual or notional equity supporting the invested
assets or product type represented by a given column, (3) various items grouped
in column E (Other) relate to other columns but have been aggregated in column E
for ease of presentation and simplicity (e.g., cash is not allocated among the
various columns), (4) the preferred equity interest in MuniMae TE Bond
Subsidiary, LLC has been presented in a separate column F to highlight
subsidiary preferred shares reclassified to debt as of July 1, 2003 according to
SFAS 150 and (5) this table is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not
intended to replace or approximate GAAP.

NOTES
(1) Bond securitizations and derivatives includes the Company's investments in
tax-exempt bonds, bond related investments and derivatives and the related
on-balance sheet debt and cash collateral.
(2) Taxable lending includes the Company's construction and permanent loans and
the related borrowings from the Midland Affordable Housing Group Trust,
pension funds and lines of credit.
(3) Tax credit operations includes the Company's investment in properties and
advances to tax credit equity funds and the related borrowings under lines
of credit. This column also includes $120 million of borrowings under a
line of credit at 9/30/03 used to finance the July 2003 acquisition of
HCI's tax credit operations.
(4) CAPREIT equity investments includes the taxable equity investments in the
CAPREIT joint ventures and the related cash collateral.
(5) Due to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and
Equity," the preferred shares issued by MuniMae TE Bond Subsidiary, LLC
have been reclassified as debt.
(6) Tax credit guaranteed funds includes assets and liabilities associated with
funds where the Company has provided investors a guarantee or has
continuing involvement with the assets of the funds. All of these assets
and liabilities relate to interests in tax credit equity syndications
acquired as of July 1, 2003 from Lend Lease.
(7) Goodwill of $33.6 million related to the 1999 purchase of the Midland
Companies has been allocated equally between taxable lending and tax credit
operations. The balance of the intangibles and goodwill relates to the July
2003 acquisition of the HCI tax credit operations.
(8) Excess of assets over liabilities was calculated by taking assets minus
liabilities for each column, and therefore these amounts may not accurately
represent the actual or notional amount of equity attributable to each
column.
(9) Including the assets and liabilities from off balance sheet bond
securitizations the percentage would be 62%.

Factors that Could Affect Future Results
The Company's 2002 Form 10-K contains a detailed description of the
Company's factors that could affect future results. There has been no material
change since December 31, 2002 to the information related to factors that could
affect future results.
The Company's business prospects are directly impacted by governmental
tax policies, which affect demand for the Company's debt and equity financing
products as well as investor demand for the Company's securities and the tax
credit equity funds which the Company syndicates. A reduction in the scale of,
or the tax benefits provided by, governmental programs supporting the
development of affordable and other housing-related investments originated by
the Company, or the elimination of these programs altogether, would
significantly reduce the Company's opportunities to originate, structure and
invest in housing-related financings and would consequently have a significant
adverse impact on the Company's net income and cash available for distribution
("CAD").
The Company's July 2003 acquisition of HCI will generate significantly
higher syndication fee and asset management revenues from our tax credit equity
business. Because the tax credit equity syndication business is seasonal, with
the bulk of syndications closing in the fourth and second quarters of each
calendar year, the Company expects to experience greater volatility in its
quarterly CAD earnings than it experienced prior to the acquisition. As a result
of the seasonality in our production volumes, the Company expects to have higher
income in the second and fourth quarters of each fiscal year than in the first
and third quarters, while routine operating expenses, with the exception of
bonus accruals related to production levels, are expected to be less susceptible
to quarterly fluctuations.
Contractual Obligations
Material activity for the third quarter of 2003 related to contractual
obligations is discussed below. For a complete discussion of contractual
obligations, see the Company's 2002 Form 10-K.
As part of the acquisition of HCI, the Company became obligated under
various operating leases for office space, storage space, office services and
computer services. The leases expire through July 2007. The annual rent under
these leases is $3.7 million.
Guarantees and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company's 2002 Form 10-K contains a summary of the Company's
guarantees and off-balance sheet arrangements. During the third quarter of 2003,
the Company entered a guarantee agreement related to the $120 million line of
credit used to finance the acquisition of HCI. The Company has guaranteed the
payment of outstanding principal and interest on this facility. In addition, the
Company assumed or provided various guarantees in connection with the purchase
of HCI. See Note 8 for a table that summarizes the Company's guarantees by type
as of September 30, 2003.
33
Dividend Policy and Cash Available for Distribution
The Company focuses on maximizing shareholder value through increases
in cash distributions to shareholders. The Company uses CAD as a primary measure
of its ability to pay distributions. The Company believes CAD is the most
relevant measure of its ability to pay distributions because it is a measure of
current earnings. The Company uses this measure of current earnings as a basis
for declaring its quarterly distributions.
CAD differs from net income because of variations between GAAP income
and actual cash received. There are four primary differences between CAD and
GAAP income. The first is the treatment of several types of fees (including
origination, syndication, guarantee and asset management fees), which for CAD
purposes are recognized as income when received or earned but for GAAP purposes
may be amortized into income over time or deferred until certain events occur.
The second difference is that the non-cash gain and loss recognized for GAAP
associated with valuations, sales of investments and capitalization and
amortization of mortgage servicing rights are not included in the calculation of
CAD. The third difference is the treatment of the Company's investments in
partnerships. For GAAP, the Company records its allocable share of the income
(loss) from the partnership as income, while for CAD reporting the Company
records the cash distributions it receives from the partnership as income. The
fourth difference is the treatment of tax credit equity funds in which the
Company provides a guarantee or otherwise has continuing involvement in the
underlying assets of the fund. GAAP accounting requires that the Company record
income (loss) from these funds. This non-cash item is not reflected in CAD.
The Company's current policy is to distribute to common shareholders at
least 80% of its annual CAD to common shares. The table below shows the
Company's CAD available to common shares, CAD per common share, dividend per
common share and payout ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2003 and 2002.

Payout ratio (2) 95.8% 86.6% 90.1% 89.5%
(1) CAD per common share is calculated based on the number of shares outstanding
at the end of each fiscal quarter.
(2) The payout ratio calculation for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2003 is based on 32,540,412 common shares outstanding to reflect the
3,622,500 shares issued in October 2003 that will also receive the third quarter
distribution.
The following table reconciles the Company's GAAP net income to CAD for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

Notes
(1) For GAAP reporting, the Company records the non-cash change in fair value
of its investment in interest rate swaps and other derivative financial
instruments through net income. These non-cash gains and losses are not
included in the Company's calculation of CAD.
(2) For GAAP reporting, the Company accounts for various investments in
partnerships using the equity accounting method. As a result, the Company's
allocable share of the income or loss from the partnerships is reported in
income (losses) from equity investments in partnerships. The income from these
partnerships includes depreciation expense and changes in the fair value of
investments in derivatives. For GAAP reporting, distributions are treated as a
return of capital. For CAD reporting, the Company records the cash
distributions it receives from the partnerships as other income. In addition, a
portion of the income or loss from partnerships is reduced by a minority
interest for both GAAP and CAD.
(3) For GAAP reporting, the Company recognizes non-cash gains and losses and
amortization of intangible assets, including (a) non-cash gains and losses
associated with the sale of assets or capitalization of mortgage servicing
rights; (b) amortization of mortgage servicing rights over the estimated life
of the serviced loans; and (c) amortization of asset management contracts
recorded in connection with a July 2003 acquisition. These non-cash items are
not included in CAD.
(4) This adjustment reflects the net difference, for the relevant period,
between fees reflected in income when received for CAD and the recognition of
fees for GAAP. This line item reflects several types of income:
(a) Origination fees and certain other income amounts, which are
recognized as income when received for CAD purposes, but for GAAP
reporting are amortized over the life of the associated investment.
(b) Syndication fees, which are recognized as income when earned for
CAD purposes, but for GAAP reporting a portion of the fee may be
deferred until investors have paid in greater than 20% of their total
capital contributions to the tax credit funds.
(c) Guarantee fees, which are recognized as income when received for
CAD purposes, but for GAAP reporting are recorded into income over the
guarantee period.
(d) Asset management fees, which are recognized as income when earned
and collectible for CAD purposes, but for GAAP purposes are applied
first to relieve accounts receivable recorded in conjunction with the
July 2003 acquisition, and second as income consistent with the CAD
revenue recognition.
(5) For GAAP reporting, the Company records valuation allowances and
other-than-temporary impairments on its investments in loans, bonds and other
bond-related investments. Such non-cash charges do not affect the cash flow
generated from the operation of the underlying properties, distributions to
shareholders, or the tax-exempt status of the income of the financial
obligation under the bonds. Therefore, these items are not included in the
calculation of CAD.
(6) For GAAP reporting, the Company's income tax expense contains both a
current and a deferred component. Only the Company's current income tax expense
is reflected in CAD.
(7) For GAAP reporting, the Company recognized a gain upon the sale of a
property. This gain was required to be classified as discontinued operations
because the Company owned the property prior to the sale. For CAD reporting,
the gain was significantly less due to recording a portion of the proceeds as
interest income. In addition, the carrying value of the tax-exempt bond
associated with the property was significantly more for CAD due to an
impairment previously recognized for GAAP.
(8) For those of the Company's tax credit equity syndication funds in which the
Company provides a guarantee or otherwise has continuing involvement in the
underlying assets of the fund, GAAP accounting requires the Company to record
the net income (loss) from the fund. This non-cash item is not reflected in CAD.
The calculation of CAD is the basis for the determination of the
Company's quarterly distributions to common shares, is used by securities
analysts and is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's
performance. The calculation is not approved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission nor is it required by GAAP and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance
or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The Company
believes that CAD provides relevant information about its operations and is
necessary, along with net income, for understanding its operating results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's 2002 Form 10-K contains a detailed description of the
Company's critical accounting policies and estimates. Except as disclosed below,
there has been no material change to the information related to critical
accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2002.
As the part of the acquisition of HCI, the Company is providing
guarantees to Lend Lease related to certain tax credit equity syndication funds
where Lend Lease is providing a guarantee to investors or a third party. As a
result of the guarantees, the Company is considered to have continuing
involvement with the assets of the tax credit equity funds and to have effective
control over the assets in the funds. Therefore, the Company accounts for its
involvement in these funds under the financing method. Under the financing
method, the Company includes the assets of the funds, consisting primarily of
restricted cash and investments in partnerships, in the Company's consolidated
balance sheet. In addition, the capital contributions of investors in these
funds are reported as a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.
The income and expenses from these tax credit equity funds is reported in the
appropriate line items of the Company's consolidated statements of income. The
liability for the investors' capital contributions is relieved as the guarantees
expire or are amortized into income over the life of the guarantee and reported
in other income in the Company's consolidated statements of income.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved FAS 150.
FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It
requires that an issuer classify financial instruments with certain debt-like
characteristics as liabilities. The scope of FAS 150 includes financial
instruments issued in the form of mandatorily redeemable shares, which embody an
unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem the shares by
transferring assets at a specified date. Management has determined that the
Company's preferred shareholders' equity in a subsidiary company falls within
the scope of FAS 150. Therefore for the third quarter of 2003, the Company has
reclassified the liquidation preference value of its preferred shareholders'
equity of $168.0 million to a separate line in the liability section of the
consolidated balance sheets. In addition, offering costs of $7.5 million related
to these preferred shares have been reclassified to other assets and are being
amortized through the mandatory tender dates of the preferred shares. Amounts
previously classified as distributions to preferred shareholders are now
recorded as interest expense.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN 46
requires the consolidation of a company's equity investment in a variable
interest entity ("VIE") if the company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and
if risks are not effectively dispersed among the owners of the VIE. The company
is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE if the company absorbs
the majority of the losses of the VIE. FIN 46 is effective for VIEs created
after January 31, 2003. For any VIE in which the Company held an interest that
it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 was effective for the first
36
reporting period ending after June 15, 2003. The Financial Accounting Standards
Board has extended the effective date until the first reporting period ending
after December 15, 2003 and the Company has elected to defer adoption of FIN 46
until that time. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of FIN 46 on the
tax credit equity syndication funds that a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company sponsors and asset manages, as well as investments accounted for under
the equity method of accounting. The Company will continue to review new
investments in order to determine if they should be accounted for in accordance
with FIN 46.

in salaries and benefits resulting from a $0.9 million increase in salaries and
other compensation and a $1.0 million increase in bonus expense; (2) a $2.5
million increase in amortization of intangibles due primarily to the
amortization of capitalized asset management fee contracts from HCI; and (3) a
$1.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses due primarily to:
(i) $1.0 million of expense from HCI; and (ii) $0.5 million in general and
administrative expenses from the consolidated guaranteed tax credit equity
funds.

rights; (3) a $1.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses due
primarily to: (i) $1.0 million of expense from HCI; (ii) $0.5 million in general

Net Holding Gains on Derivatives
The Company recorded net holding gains for mark-to-market adjustments
on derivative financial instruments of $3.5 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003 and net holding losses of $9.9 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002.
The Company recorded net holding gains for mark-to-market adjustments
on derivative financial instruments of $3.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 and net holding losses of $14.5 million for the nine months

Impairments and Valuation Allowances Related to Investments
In accordance with the Company's valuation and impairment policies, the
Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairments during the quarters
ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002.
The Company recorded other-than-temporary impairments totaling $1.1
million during the nine months September 30, 2003. The impairments included a
$0.7 million impairment on a bond with a face amount of $19.5 million and $0.4
million of impairments on three taxable loans with total face amounts of $7.0
million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded
impairments totaling $0.1 million on a bond with a face amount of $0.7 million.
Net Losses from Equity Investments in Partnerships
Net losses from equity investments in partnerships increased by $0.1
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period
last year due primarily to: (1) $1.4 million in losses from the consolidated
guaranteed tax credit equity funds; and (2) a $1.6 million decrease in losses
from an investment in income-producing real estate operating partnerships and
related swap partnerships. While these investments generate cash flow to the
Company in the form of quarterly distributions, on a GAAP basis they may
generate a net loss due to non-cash adjustments for depreciation and
mark-to-market adjustments related to the swap partnerships. The mark-to-market
adjustments cause volatility in the losses that are recorded.
Net losses from equity investments in partnerships increased by $2.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period
last year due primarily to: (1) $1.4 million in losses from the consolidated
guaranteed tax credit equity funds; (2) $1.1 million in losses generated from
investments in real estate operating partnerships that are being warehoused
before transfer to syndicated tax credit equity funds; and (3) a $0.3 million
decrease in losses from an investment in income-producing real estate operating
partnerships and related swap partnerships.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 decreased
$2.0 million compared to the same period last year. This decrease is due
primarily to: (i) a decrease in net income within the operating segment, which
contains corporations that are subject to income taxes; and (ii) an increase in
deferred tax assets from HCI.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003
decreased $4.3 million compared to the same period last year. This decrease is
due primarily to a decrease in net income within the operating segment, which
contains corporations that are subject to income taxes.
Income Allocable to Preferred Shareholders and Minority Interests in Subsidiary
Companies
As previously discussed, income allocable to preferred shareholders in
a subsidiary company
40
has been reclassified to interest expense for the quarter ended September 30,
2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, income allocable to
preferred shareholders in a subsidiary company decreased $3.0 million compared
to the same period in 2002 due to this reclassification.
Discontinued Operations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company acquired a
property by deed in lieu of foreclosure. This property previously served as
collateral for a tax-exempt bond held by the Company. The Company sold the
property for net proceeds of $38.1 million, which resulted in a $26.8 million
gain. The $26.8 million gain and $1.0 million of losses from operations of the
property were classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated
statements of income.
Net Income
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased by $17.9
million compared to the same period last year due primarily to: (1) a $13.4

increase in gain on sales; (3) a $5.0 million increase in syndication fees; (4)
a $2.7 million increase in other income; (5) a $2.2 million increase in asset
management and advisory fees; offset by (6) a $6.6 million increase in salaries
and benefits; (7) a $3.9 million increase in interest expense (excluding the
reclassification of preferred share distributions); and (8) a $2.5 million
increase in amortization of intangibles.

$25.7 million increase from discontinued operations; (2) an $18.5 million
decrease in net holding losses on derivatives; (3) a $7.5 million increase in
net gain on sales; (4) a $5.8 million increase in other income; (5) a $4.3
million decrease in income tax expense; (6) a $2.6 million increase in asset
management and advisory fees; offset by (7) a $10.5 million increase in salaries
and benefits; (8) a $5.6 million increase in interest expense (excluding the
reclassification of preferred share distributions); (9) a $2.7 million increase
in amortization of intangibles; and (10) a $2.2 million increase in net losses
from equity investments in partnerships.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company's 2002 Form 10-K contains a detailed description of the
Company's related party transactions. During the third quarter of 2003, there
has been no material change to the information related to related party
transactions.
INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
MuniMae is organized as a limited liability company. This structure
allows MuniMae to combine the limited liability, governance and management
characteristics of a corporation with the pass-through income features of a
partnership. Therefore, the distributive share of MuniMae's income, deductions
and credits is included in each shareholder's income tax return. In addition,
the tax-exempt income derived from certain investments remains tax-exempt when
it is passed through to the shareholders. MuniMae records cash dividends
received from subsidiaries organized as corporations as dividend income for tax
purposes. Shareholders' distributive share of MuniMae's income, deductions and
credits are reported to shareholders on Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1.
While the bulk of the Company's recurring interest income is
tax-exempt, from time to time the Company may sell or securitize various assets,
which may result in capital gains and losses for tax purposes. Since the Company
is taxed as a partnership, these capital gains and losses are passed through to
shareholders and are reported on each shareholder's Schedule K-1. Until January
1, 2003, the Company had elected under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code
to adjust the tax basis of the Company's property on the transfer of shares to
reflect the price each shareholder paid for its shares. As a result of the
Company's Section 754 election, for shares purchased prior to January 1, 2003,
the capital gain and loss allocated to those shares was determined on a
shareholder-by-shareholder basis and will depend on, among other things, the
timing of the shareholder's purchase of the shares, the timing of transactions
that generate gains or losses for the Company and the difference (the "Basis
Difference") between the Company's tax basis in its property and a shareholder's
tax basis in the shares. This means that for assets purchased by the Company
prior to a shareholder's purchase of shares, the shareholder's basis in the
assets may be significantly different than the Company's basis in those same
assets. Although the procedure for allocating the basis
42
adjustment is complex, the result of the election is that each share is
homogeneous, while each shareholder's basis in the assets of the Company may be
different. Consequently, the capital gains and losses allocated to individual
shareholders may be significantly different than the capital gains and losses
recorded by the Company.
In January 2003, the Company applied to have its election under Section
754 of the Internal Revenue Code revoked. The Company applied for this
revocation due to the increasing administrative burden attributable to this
election resulting from the increased numbers of common shareholders and the
increasing frequency both of events generating capital gain or loss and of
purchases and sales of common shares.
In May 2003, the Internal Revenue Service approved the Company's
application to revoke its election under Section 754 for the Company's tax year
ending December 31, 2003. As a result, for common shares purchased on or after
January 1, 2003, the capital gain and loss allocated from the Company will be
based on their pro-rata share of the Company's gain and loss allocated without
regard to the Basis Difference. In other words, for shares purchased prior to
January 1, 2003, portions of the Basis Difference may from time to time be
recognized and reported on the shareholder's Schedule K-1 as and when the
Company's assets are sold. While for shares purchased on or after January 1,
2003, the Basis Difference will be eliminated when the shareholder sells the
shares.
This change in the method of calculating the Company's tax basis in its
assets could result in the shareholder being allocated more or less income in
any given year than he or she would have received if the Section 754 election
remained in place; however, it is difficult to predict the precise impact of the
change for individual shareholders. The revocation of the Company's 754 election
may result in shareholders who purchase shares on or after January 1, 2003,
experiencing a difference in the overall character of income allocated or
recognized.
A portion of the Company's interest income is derived from private
activity bonds that for income tax purposes are considered tax preference items
for purposes of alternative minimum tax ("AMT"). AMT is a mechanism within the
Internal Revenue Code to ensure that all taxpayers pay at least a minimum amount
of taxes. All taxpayers are subject to the AMT calculation requirements although
the majority of taxpayers will not actually pay AMT. As a result of AMT, the
percentage of the Company's income that is exempt from federal income tax may be
different for each shareholder depending on that shareholder's individual tax
situation.
The Company has numerous corporate subsidiaries that are subject to
income taxes. The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS
109"). FAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities.
