Item 1. Business

 

Organization

 

Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act as of June 1, 1988.  Effective as of June 1, 2001 there was a restructuring, and as a result, the Fund’s general partner was reorganized as follows.  The General Partner of the Fund continues to be Boston Capital Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership.  The general partner of the General Partner is BCA Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, whose sole general partner is C&M Management, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation.  John P. Manning is the principal of Boston Capital Partners, Inc.  The limited partner of the General Partner is Capital Investment Holdings, a general partnership whose partners are certain officers and employees of Boston Capital Partners, Inc., and its affiliates. The Assignor Limited Partner is BCTC Assignor Corp., a Delaware corporation which is now wholly-owned by John P. Manning.

 

The Assignor Limited Partner was formed for the purpose of serving in that capacity for the Partnership and will not engage in any other business.  Units of beneficial interest in the Limited Partnership Interest of the Assignor Limited Partner were assigned by the Assignor Limited Partner by means of beneficial assignee certificates (“BACs”) to investors and investors are entitled to all the rights and economic benefits of a Limited Partner of the Partnership including rights to a percentage of the income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and distributions of the Partnership.

 

A Registration Statement on Form S-11 and the related prospectus, as supplemented (the “Prospectus”) was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and became effective August 29, 1988 in connection with a public offering (“Offering”) of Series 1 through 6. The Partnership raised $97,746,940 representing a total of 9,800,600 BACs.  The offering of BACs in all series ended on September 29, 1989.

 

Description of Business

 

The Partnership’s principal business is to invest as a limited partner in other limited partnerships (the “Operating Partnerships”), each of which was to own or lease and operate an Apartment Complex exclusively or partially for low- and moderate-income tenants.  Each Operating Partnership in which the Partnership has invested owns an Apartment Complex which is completed, newly-constructed, or newly-rehabilitated. Each Apartment Complex qualified for the low-income housing tax credit under Section 42 of the Code (the “Federal Housing Tax Credit”), thereby providing tax benefits over a period of eleven years in the form of tax credits which investors may use to offset income, subject to certain strict limitations, from other sources.  Certain of the Apartment Complexes also qualified for the historic rehabilitation tax credit under Section 48 of the Code (the “Rehabilitation Tax Credit”).  The Federal Housing Tax Credit and the Government Assistance programs are described on pages 53 to 73 of the Prospectus under the caption “Government

Assistance Programs,” which is incorporated herein by reference.  Section 236 (f) (ii) of the National Housing Act, as amended, in Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, as amended, each provide for the making by HUD of rent supplement payments to low income tenants in properties which receive other forms of federal assistance such as Tax Credits.  The payments for each tenant, which are made directly to the owner of their property, generally are in such amounts as to enable the tenant to pay rent equal to 30% of the adjusted family income.  Some of the Apartment Complexes in which the Partnership has invested are receiving such rent supplements from HUD.  HUD has been in the process of converting rent supplement assistance to assistance paid not to the owner of the Apartment Complex, but directly to the individuals.  At this time, the Partnership is unable to predict whether Congress will continue rent supplement programs payable directly to owners of the Apartment Complex.

 

At March 31, 2003, the Partnership had limited partnership equity interests in one hundred three operating partnerships which own operating apartment complexes as follows:  eighteen in Series 1; eight in Series 2; thirty-three in Series 3; twenty-four in Series 4; five in Series 5; and fifteen in Series 6.  A description of these Operating Partnerships is set forth in Item 2 herein.

 

The business objectives of the Partnership are to:

 

(1)      preserve and protect the Partnership’s capital;

 

(2)      provide current tax benefits to Investors in the form of (a) Federal Housing Tax Credits and Rehabilitation Tax Credits, which an Investor may apply, subject to certain strict limitations, against his federal income tax liability form active, portfolio and passive income, and (b) passive losses which an Investor may apply to offset his passive income (if any);

 

(3)      Provide capital appreciation through increases in value of the Partnership’s investments and, to the extent applicable, equity buildup through periodic payments on the mortgage indebtedness with respect to the Apartment Complexes;

 

(4)      provide cash distributions (except with respect to the Partnership’s investment in certain Non-Profit Operating Partnerships) from a Capital Transaction as to the Partnership.  The Operating Partnerships intend to hold the Apartment Complexes for appreciation in value.  The Operating Partnerships may sell the Apartment Complexes after a period of time if financial conditions in the future make such sales desirable and if such sales are permitted by government restrictions.

 

The business objectives and investment policies of the Partnership are described more fully on pages 44 to 52 of the Prospectus under the caption “Business Objectives and Investment Policies,” which is incorporated herein by reference.

Employees

 

The Partnership does not have any employees.  Services are performed by the General Partner and its affiliates and agents retained by them.

 

Item 2. Properties

 

The Partnership has acquired a limited partnership interest in each of the one hundred three Operating Partnerships identified in the following tables.  In each instance the Apartment Complex owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the Federal Housing Tax Credit. Initial occupancy of a unit in each Apartment Complex which complied with the Minimum Set-Aside Test (i.e., initial occupancy by tenants with incomes equal to no more than a certain percentage of area median income) and the Rent Restriction Test (i.e., gross rent charged tenants does not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to hereinafter as “Qualified Occupancy”.  Each of the Operating Partnerships and each of the respective Apartment Complexes are described more fully in the Prospectus, as supplemented, or applicable Report on Form 8-K.  The General Partner believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.

 

Please refer to Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a more detailed discussion of operational difficulties experienced by certain of the Operating Partnerships.

Item 5.

 

Market for the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Interests and Related Partnership Matters

 

 

 

 

(a)

 

Market Information

 

 

 

The Partnership is classified as a limited partnership and thus has no common stock.  There is no established public trading market for the BACs and it is not anticipated that any public market will develop.

 

 

 

(b)

 

Approximate number of security holders.

 

 

 

 

As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership has 7,100 registered BAC Holders for an aggregate of 9,800,600 BACs which were offered a subscription price of $10 per BAC.

 

 

 

The BACs were issued in series.  Series 1 had 1,035 investors holding 1,299,900 BACs; Series 2 had 683 investors holding 830,300 BACs; Series 3 had 2,210 investors holding 2,882,200 BACs; Series 4 had 1,955 investors holding 2,995,300 BACs; Series 5 had 377 investors holding 489,900 BACs; and Series 6 had 840 investors holding 1,303,000 BACs.

 

 

 

(c)

 

Dividend history and restriction.

 

 

 

The Partnership has made no distributions of Net Cash Flow to its BAC Holders from its inception, June 1, 1988 through March 31, 2003.

 

 

 

The Partnership made a return of equity distribution to the Limited Partners in the amount of $350,003 during the year ended March 31, 1992.  The distribution was the result of certain Operating Partnerships not achieving their projected tax credits.

 

 

 

The Partnership Agreement provides that Profits, Losses and Credits will be allocated each month to the holder of record of a BAC as of the last day of such month.  Allocation of Profits, and Credits among BAC Holders will be made in proportion to the number of BACs held by each BAC Holder.

 

 

 

Any distributions of Net Cash Flow or Liquidation, Sale or Refinancing Proceeds will be made within 180 days of the end of the annual period to which they relate. Distributions will be made to the holders of record of a BAC as of the last day of each month in the ratio which (i) the BACs held by such Person on the last day of the calendar month bears to (ii) the aggregate number of BACs outstanding on the last day of such month.

 

 

 

Partnership allocations and distributions are described on pages 99 to 103 of the Prospectus, as supplemented, which  are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements such as our intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, strategies and predictions of our future activities, or other future events or conditions. Such statements are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including, without limitation, the factors identified in Part I, Item 1 of this Report. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

 

Liquidity

 

The Partnership’s primary source of funds was the proceeds of its public offering.  Other sources of liquidity include  (i) interest earned on capital contributions held pending investment or held for working capital reserves and (ii) cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested.  These sources of liquidity are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership.  The Partnership is currently accruing the annual partnership management fees, which allows each series the ability to pay non-affiliated third party obligations.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 the Partnership accrued $911,495 in annual partnership management fees.  As of March 31, 2003, total partnership management fees accrued were $10,213,821.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, such liabilities will be deferred until the Partnership receives sales or refinancing proceeds from Operating Partnerships which will be used to satisfy such liabilities.

 

An affiliate of the general partner has advanced $729,568 to the Partnership to pay certain third party operating expenses and to make advances and/or loans to Operating Partnerships.  The amounts advanced to four of the six series are as follows: $90,810 to Series 1; $70,000 to Series 2; $218,578 to Series 3; and $350,180 to Series 4.  These and any additional advances will be paid, without interest, from available cash flow, reporting fees, or the proceeds of sales or refinancing of the Partnership’s interests in Operating Partnerships. The Partnership anticipates that as the Operating Partnerships continue to mature, more cash flow and reporting fees will be generated.  Cash flow and reporting fees will be added to the Partnership’s working capital and will be available to meet future third party obligations of the Partnership.  The Partnership is currently pursuing, and will continue to pursue, available cash flow and reporting fees.

 

Capital Resources

 

The Partnership offered BACs in a public offering declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 1988.  The Partnership received and accepted subscriptions for $97,746,940 representing 9,800,600 BACs from investors admitted as BAC Holders in Series 1 through Series 6 of the Partnership.

 

17

Results of Operations

 

The Partnership incurs an annual partnership management fee payable to the General Partner and/or its affiliates in an amount equal to 0.375% of the aggregate cost of the Apartment Complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of certain partnership management and reporting fees paid or payable by the Operating Partnerships.  The annual partnership management fee incurred net of reporting fees for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was $838,478 and $897,502, respectively.  The amount is anticipated to be lower for subsequent fiscal years as more of the Operating Partnerships begin to pay accrued and annual partnership management and reporting fees.  During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership received $73,017 and $53,570, respectively, in reporting fees from the Operating Partnerships

 

The Partnership’s investment objectives do not include receipt of significant cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which it has invested.  The Partnership’s investments in Operating Partnerships have been made principally with a view towards realization of Federal Housing Tax Credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.

 

The Operating Partnerships were allocated tax credits for 10 years.  Based on each Operating Partnership’s lease-up, the total credits could be spread over as many as 13 years.  In cases where the actual number of years is more than 10, the credits delivered in the early and later years will be less than the maximum allowable per year.  Series 1 and Series 4 completed their credit periods as of December 31, 2001.  Series 3 and Series 6 are expected to generate a small amount of remaining credits through December 31, 2004. Series 2 and Series 5 are expected to generate a small amount of remaining credits through December 31, 2005.

(Series 1).  As of March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Qualified Occupancy for the Series was 100%.  The Series had a total of 18 properties at March 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.

 

For the tax years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Series, in total, generated $2,127,937 and $2,311,040 respectively, in passive income tax losses that were passed through to the investors.  As of December 31, 2001 all of the Operating Partnerships in Series 1 had completed their respective credit periods and it is not expected that any additional tax credits will be generated.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 Series 1 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $1,547,903 and $396,227, respectively, when adjusted for depreciation which is a non-cash item.  Operations in the current year were negatively impacted by an Impairment Loss reported by one of the Operating Partnerships.

 

Genesee Commons Associates (River Park Commons) and Kingston Property Associates (Broadway East Townhouses) have incurred operating deficits as a result of weak occupancy.  Both Operating Partnerships have a verbal forbearance agreement in place allowing the properties to pay minimal mortgage payments while continuing to accrue all interest payments due.  Both properties also received loans from the state housing agency, which were used to complete rehabilitation work.  Historically Kingston Property Associates has operated with an occupancy level below 80%.  However, operations at this property have improved with a 2002 average 12 month occupancy level of 91% and a 1st quarter 2003 average occupancy level of 93.44%. The operations at Genesee Commons Associates remain weak with an occupancy level consistent with prior years. The 1st quarter 2003 average occupancy level was 78%. Both properties continue to work with local and state agencies to locate qualified residents.  Also, the properties have developed a referral system with local non-profit agencies and churches.  The properties have not made the minimum debt service payments, as outlined in the forbearance agreements since 1997.  At this time, the mortgage holders for each of these two properties have not taken any adverse action.  The Operating General Partner met with the lenders for both properties, and reports that the meeting was successful, receiving verbal assurances that the mortgage holders would not foreclose on the properties prior to the end of the compliance period. The 15 year compliance period for Kingston Property Associates ended December 31, 2002.  The compliance period for Genesee Commons ends on December 31, 2003.  This being the case, The Investment General Partner has commenced discussions with the Operating General Partner and the mortgage lenders to determine the options available to the Partnerships. The Investment General Partner will continue to monitor the situation closely.

 

(Series 2).  As of March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%.  The Series had a total of 8 properties at March 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.

 

For the tax years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Series, in total, generated $885,930 and $7,198, respectively, in passive income tax losses that were passed through to the investors, and also provided $0.06 and $0.09, respectively, in tax credits per BAC to the investors.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 Series 2 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $156,586 and $529,164, respectively, when adjusted for depreciation which is a non-cash item.  In the prior year one of the Operating Partnerships reported a larger than normal interest expense to correct for previously under reported interest expense.  This was a one time correction which did not effect the current year adjusted net loss and is the reason for the decrease.

The properties owned by Haven Park Partners III, A California L.P. (Glenhaven Park III) and Haven Park Partners IV, A California L.P. (Glenhaven Park IV) have historically suffered from excessive operating expenses compared to operating income. New management put in place in the fourth quarter of 2000 has been successful in maintaining strong occupancy.  Haven Park III has maintained 98% occupancy through the first quarter of 2003; while Haven Park IV has maintained an occupancy level of 100% in the first quarter of 2003.  Upon review of the 2002 audited financial statements both properties operated above breakeven in 2002.  This is primarily a result of strong efforts made by management to control operating expenses.  The Partnerships filed for and received a welfare tax exemption.    The exemption was granted retroactive to 2000 and a rebate was received by the Partnership for those prior years.  The tax exemption had a positive effect on cash flow. As operations have continued to demonstrate improvement, the Investment General Partner will no longer report on these Partnerships.

 

Annadale Housing Partners (Annadale Apartments) has historically reported net losses due to operational issues associated with the property.  As a result of efforts by the management company operations have improved significantly.  Rental increases combined with improved collections, increased rental revenues by $96,611 (9.8%) in 2002.  Expenses (specifically maintenance) saw increases in 2002.  This is in part due to required repairs mandated by the Housing Agency as a result of a site inspection done at the site in 2002.  Another factor affecting maintenance costs are the provisions of the loan agreements, which stipulate that the Partnership must spend a minimum of $55,000 per year on capital improvements, which are funded from operations.  As a result of the increased rental revenues, the property operated at breakeven despite the increase in expenses.  A welfare tax exemption was approved in 2001, and the Partnership received a refund of $29,982 in January 2002.  Occupancy averaged 88.29% in 2002, however, occupancy dropped to 86% in December, and has averaged only 83.78% in the first quarter of 2003.  The majority of the vacancies are in the elderly designated units.  Management is trying to broaden the scope of advertising to attract more potential residents to the site.  Although operations have demonstrated significant improvements, we will continue to monitor this Partnership until occupancy increases and stabilizes.

 

(Series 3).  As of March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Qualified Occupancy for the Series was 100% and 99.9%, respectively.  The Series had a total of 33 properties at March 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.

 

For the tax years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Series, in total, generated $2,451,603 and $2,727,055, respectively, in passive income tax losses that were passed through to the investors, and also provided $0.04 in tax credits per BAC to the investors for both years.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 Series 3 reflects a net income (loss) from Operating Partnerships of $75,734 and $(542,458), respectively, when adjusted for depreciation which is a non-cash item.  Operations in the prior year were negatively impacted by an Impairment Loss reported by one of the Operating Partnerships.

 

The Investment General Partner continues to monitor the operations of Lincoln Hotel Associates (Lincoln Apartments) in an effort to improve the overall operations of the Partnership.  Physical occupancy through the first quarter of 2003 averaged 94.71%.  The stable occupancy, along with expense reductions, has resulted in improved operations.  The mortgage is current under the terms of the forbearance agreement.  The taxes, insurance and payables are current. The Operating General Partner recently completed negotiations to replace management with a not-for-profit entity who is interested in assuming the ownership of the Partnership once the tax credit compliance period has expired.  A purchase option has been executed and recorded. Additionally, negotiations with the lender to restructure the debt continue and are expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2003.

In an attempt to capitalize on the strong California real estate market the Operating General Partner of California Investors VI (Orchard Park) entered into an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed in June 2003.  As part of the purchase agreement, the buyer is required to maintain the property as affordable housing through the end of the tax credit compliance period and also to provide a recapture bond to avoid the recapture of the tax credits that have been taken.  Sale proceeds due to Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund I-Series 3 (BCTC I) and Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III-Series 17 (BCTC III) after repayment of advances made to the Operating Partnership are $408,835 and $28,682, respectively. Of the proceeds received it is estimated that approximately $352,768 and $24,749, respectively, will be returned to the investors in Series 3 and Series 17.  The amounts for each series, while different in actual dollars, represent the same percentage of return to each Investment Partnership.  The remaining total of $60,000 is anticipated to be paid to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership (BCAMLP) for fees and expenses related to the sale.  The total returned to the investors will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of the sale. The breakdown of the amount to be paid to BCAMLP is as follows:  $10,000 represents reimbursement of expenses incurred related to sale, which includes but is not limited to due diligence, legal and mailing costs; $50,000 represents a fee for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property.  Since the Investment in Operating Partnership balance of California Investors VI for Series 3 was not equal to the sale proceeds received by the series, Series 3 will record a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of $408,835 in the next fiscal year.

 

In an attempt to capitalize on the strong California real estate market the Operating General Partner of Hidden Cove Apartments (Hidden Cove) entered into an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed in May 2003.  As part of the purchase agreement, the buyer is required to maintain the property as affordable housing through the end of the tax credit compliance period and also to provide a recapture bond to avoid the recapture of the tax credits that have been taken.  Sale proceeds due to Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund I-Series 3 (BCTC I) and Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III-Series 15 (BCTC III) are $1,710,981 and $148,373, respectively.  The majority of the sale proceeds were received by the Investment Partnerships in May 2003, however the Operating General Partner is currently holding $158,542 of the total sale proceeds until the Operating Partnership entity has been dissolved.  Of the proceeds received and to be received, it is estimated that approximately $1,379,018 and $119,586, respectively will be returned to the investors in Series 3 and Series 15. The amounts for each series, while different in actual dollars, represent the same percentage of return to each Investment Partnership.  The remaining total of $360,750 is anticipated to be paid to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership (BCAMLP) for fees and expenses related to the sale and partial reimbursement of amounts payable to affiliates.  The total returned to the investors will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of the sale. The breakdown of the amount to be paid to BCAMLP is as follows:  $10,000 represents reimbursement of expenses incurred related to sale, which includes but is not limited to due diligence, legal and mailing costs; $50,000 represents a fee for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property; and $300,750 represents a partial payment of outstanding Asset Management Fees due to BCAMLP.  Since the Investment in Operating Partnerships balances of Hidden Cove for Series 3 and Series 15 were not equal to the sale proceeds received by each series, Series 3 and Series 15 they will record gains on the sale of the Operating Partnership of $1,710,981 and $82,207, respectively in the next fiscal year.

Central Parkway Towers (Central Parkway Towers) average occupancy decreased to 64% through May 2003 as compared to 2002’s average occupancy of 75%.  The Management Company continues to work with the City of Cincinnati, the State of Ohio as well as local non-profit agencies to expand tenant referrals and housing contracts.  However, the City of Cincinnati has canceled support programs previously utilized by the property and the overall financial position has deteriorated as a result of the resulting decrease in occupancy. The Operating General Partner has formally requested a release from his obligations as the General Partner and property manager.  Several alternative management companies are being interviewed and one is expected to be selected in the second or third quarter.  In the meantime, the Operating General Partner continues to pursue public and private support and involvement in the property.

 

Going forward the Investment Limited Partner will no longer report on the operations of Rainbow Housing Associates (Rainbow Apartments).  The 2002 average occupancy was 91.26%.  The property generated cash in 2002 and was able to reduce payables significantly. The property had occupancy above 90% for the first quarter of 2003 and positive cash flow.  The payables that remain are due to the management company for past due management fees and to the Operating General Partner for previous operating advances.  The real estate taxes and mortgage are current.

 

(Series 4).  As of March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%.  The Series had a total of 24 properties at March 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.

 

For the tax years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Series, in total, generated $1,774,027 and $1,523,632, respectively, in passive income tax losses that were passed through to the investors.  As of December 31, 2001 all of the Operating Partnerships in Series 4 had completed their respective credit periods and it is not expected that any additional tax credits will be generated.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 Series 4 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $98,258 and $317,308, respectively, when adjusted for depreciation which is a non-cash item.  Operations in the prior year were negatively impacted by a large Impairment Loss reported by one of the Operating Partnerships.  Operations in the current year were negatively impacted by a smaller Impairment Loss reported by the same Operating Partnership.

 

Central Parkway Towers (Central Parkway Towers) average occupancy decreased to 64% through May 2003 as compared to 2002’s average occupancy of 75%.  The Management Company continues to work with the City of Cincinnati, the State of Ohio as well as local non-profit agencies to expand tenant referrals and housing contracts.  However, the City of Cincinnati has canceled support programs previously utilized by the property and the overall financial position has deteriorated as a result of the resulting decrease in occupancy.

The property owned by Haven Park Partners II, A California LP (Glenhaven Park II) has historically suffered from excessive operating expenses compared to operating income. New management put in place in the fourth quarter of 2000 has been successful in maintaining strong occupancy.  The Partnership has

maintained 100% occupancy through the first quarter of 2003.  Upon review of the 2002 audited financial statement the property operated above breakeven, generating cash in 2002.  This is primarily a result of strong efforts made by management to control operating expenses.  The Partnership filed for and received a welfare tax exemption.  The exemption was granted retroactive to 2000 and a rebate was received by the Partnership for those prior years.  The tax exemption had a positive effect on cash flow. As operations have continued to demonstrate improvement, the Investment General Partner will no longer report on this Partnership.

 

Operations at Van Dyck Estates XVI-A, A California L.P. (Van Dyck Estates XVI-A) have improved while maintaining high occupancy.  Effective January 1, 2001, the General Partner interest was transferred to the Central Valley Affordable Housing LLC, an affiliate of San Mar Properties, Inc.  San Mar continues in its capacity as managing agent.  Effective with the date of the transfer, San Mar will be responsible for funding all operating deficits.  Occupancy averaged 97% in 2002, and has increased to 100% for the first quarter of 2003. Rent increases implemented in January 2002 benefited operations, as rental revenues increased by $12,279 (11%) in 2002.  Operating expenses, particularly maintenance costs increased in 2002 and as a result the property is operating below breakeven.  The Partnership filed for a welfare tax exemption however there was a problem with the 503(C) documentation (nonprofit status) and the Partnership had to reapply with a new nonprofit partner.  The new filing was submitted in December 2002 and the Operating General Partner is waiting to hear from the state. Due to the improvement in operations demonstrated in years 2000 and 2001, plus the commitment from the new Operating General Partner, the Going Concern opinion was removed in 2001.  This Partnership will continue to be monitored until expenses have stabilized, and the welfare tax exemption is in place.

 

Pedcor Investments 1988-VI, Limited Partnership, located in Indianapolis, Indiana, operated at a cash flow deficit in 2002, but operated above breakeven during the first quarter of 2003. The main reason for its cash expenditure in 2002 was its low occupancy, which averaged 91% but hovered below 90% for 4 months during the year.  Occupancy averaged 95% for the first quarter of 2003, and was up to 98% at the end of March 2003.  During the first quarter of 2003, the property generated cash.  Also, the property’s expenses, though in line with state averages, were much higher than were originally underwritten; rent levels were also underwritten at a higher level than they were in 2002.  Consequently, the property needs to maintain high occupancy in order to cash flow at the present expense levels.  Last, the property’s mortgage, taxes and insurance were all current as of March 31, 2003, and the management company believes the property will continue to stay highly occupied and generate cash during the entire year of 2003.

 

Auburn Trace Limited is a 256 unit property located in Delray Beach, Florida, that operated below breakeven in 2002.  The primary cause of the negative cash flow was due to high operating expenses.   As a result of the negative cash flow, working capital is insufficient to cover trade accounts payable, which are now delinquent and the replacement reserve is under funded.  Physical occupancy has been consistently strong at the property since inception, and is currently at 97% as of April 30, 2003.  The Investment Limited Partner will work with the Operating General Partner to develop a plan to reduce operating expenses and stabilize the property.  The mortgage and property taxes, property insurance are current.  The Operating General Partner continues to fund operating deficits.

 

(Series 5).  As of March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Qualified Occupancy for the Series was 100%.  The Series had a total of 5 properties at March 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.

For the tax years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Series, in total, generated $244,167 and $18,380, respectively, in passive income tax losses that were passed through to the investors, and also provided $0.01 and $0.08, respectively, in tax credits per BAC to the investors.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 Series 5 reflects a net loss of $56,254 and $448,744, respectively, from Operating Partnerships, when adjusted for depreciation which is a non-cash item.  In the prior year one of the Operating Partnerships reported a larger than normal interest expense to correct for previously under reported interest expense.  This was a one time correction which did not effect the current year adjusted net loss and is the reason for the decrease.

 

Annadale Housing Partners (Annadale Apartments) has historically reported net losses due to operational issues associated with the property.  As a result of efforts by the management company operations have improved significantly.  Rental increases combined with better rent collections, increased rental revenues by $96,611 in 2002.  Expenses (particularly maintenance) increased in 2002.  This is in part due to required repairs mandated by the Housing Agency as a result of a site inspection done during 2002.  Another factor affecting maintenance costs are the provisions of the loan agreements, which stipulate that the Partnership must spend a minimum of $55,000 per year on capital improvements, which are funded from operations.  As a result of the increased rental revenues, the property operated at breakeven despite the increase in expenses.  A welfare tax exemption was approved in 2001, and the Partnership received a refund of $29,982 in January 2002.  Occupancy averaged 88.29% in 2002, however occupancy dropped to 86% in December, and has averaged only 83.78% in the first quarter of 2003.  The majority of the vacancies are in the elderly designated units.  Management is trying to broaden the scope of advertising to attract more potential residents to the site.  Although operations have demonstrated significant improvements, the Investment Partnership will continue to monitor this Partnership until occupancy increases and stabilizes.

 

The property owned by Glenhaven Park Partners, A California L.P. (Glenhaven Estates) continues to suffer from excessive operating expenses compared to operating income.  Effective October 4, 2000, San Mar Properties of Fresno, California assumed the role of management agent. An affiliate of San Mar Properties, Central Valley Affordable Housing LLC, assumed the General Partner interest effective December 31, 2000.  In 2001 the Partnership was no longer able to meet the mortgage obligations, and all attempts to restructure the debt were unsuccessful.  The Partnership filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on October 2, 2001.  The Operating General Partner advanced the funds to bring five of the notes current.  The Reorganization Plan involved bringing current one of the seven remaining delinquent loans in order to remain compliant with IRS Section 42 minimum requirements, thus avoiding disallowance and full recapture of the tax credits.  This plan has been successful and the bankruptcy was dismissed in February 2002.  The six remaining units were foreclosed upon and removed from the Partnership.  As a result of the foreclosure the Partnership did face partial recapture of tax credits previously taken of approximately $50,000.  The remaining six units are 100% occupied as of December 2002, and continue to be 100% occupied through the first quarter of 2003. The Partnership filed for a welfare tax exemption for 2001-2002 and 2002-2003.  The exemption was recently approved and a reduction in taxes has taken place.  The Partnership also received a rebate on a portion of the taxes paid in the prior year.  The tax exemption has had a positive effect on cash flow as the Partnership operated above breakeven in 2002.

 

TKO Investment Properties V (Heather Ridge Apartments) is a 56-unit family property located in Redding, CA.  Occupancy averaged 99.70% in 2002, however low rental rates caused the property to operate below breakeven.  The property

 

25



 

was rehabilitated in 1988.  To attract and retain residents, rents are well below the allowable tax credit rents.  Payables increased due to the lack of available cash.  Occupancy remained high in the first quarter of 2003 however the property continued to operate below breakeven.  The Investment Limited partner will monitor this property until it generates cash flow.

 

(Series 6).  As of March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%.  The Series had a total of 15 properties at March 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.

For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 Series 6 reflects a net income from Operating Partnerships of $872,405 and $1,109,151 respectively, when adjusted for depreciation which is a non-cash item.  The decrease in adjusted net income in the current year is mainly attributed to an increase in costs associated with improving the operations of Auburn Trace as detailed below.

 

Socorro Properties, Limited Partnership, located in Socorro, New Mexico, operated below breakeven during the first quarter of 2003. The main reason for its cash expenditure is its low occupancy, which averaged 76% for the quarter, and high operating expenses.  To address the low occupancy at the property, management is marketing the property to possible tenants through newspapers, churches and civic groups.  To address the high operating expenses, management is closely watching all expenses at the property and making sure that the property operates within its budget.  The property’s mortgage, taxes and insurance were all current as of March 31, 2003.

 

The Operating General Partner of the Partnership Sherburne Housing Redevelopment Company has negotiated a sale of its General Partner interest.  In addition to the transfer of General Partner interest, an exit strategy has been put in place that will allow for the sale of the Investment Limited Partner interest to the new Operating General Partner at the end of the 15-year tax credit compliance period. It is anticipated that this transaction will be finalized within the third quarter of 2003 pending receipt of all required agency approvals.

 

Auburn Trace Limited is a 256 unit property located in Delray Beach, Florida, that operated below breakeven in 2002.  The primary cause of the negative cash flow was due to high operating expenses.  As a result of the negative cash flow, working capital is insufficient to cover trade accounts payable, which are now delinquent and the replacement reserve is under funded. Physical occupancy has been consistently strong at the property since inception, and is currently at 97% as of April 30, 2003.  The Investment Limited Partner will work with the Operating General Partner to develop a plan to reduce operating expenses and stabilize the property.  The mortgage and property taxes, property insurance are current.  The Operating General Partner continues to fund operating deficits.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires the Partnership to make certain estimates and assumptions.  A summary of significant accounting policies is provided in Note A to the financial statements.  The following section is a summary of certain aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations.  The Partnership believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the financial statements.

 

The Partnership accounts for its investment in local partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Partnership does not control the operations of an Operating Partnership.

 

If the book value of Partnership’s investment in a Operating Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, the Partnership reduces its investment in any such Operating Partnership and includes such reduction in equity in loss of investment in operating partnerships.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  SFAS No. 144 provides accounting guidance for financial accounting and reporting of impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  SFAS No.144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assts and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”.  SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Implementation of SFAS No. 144 has not had a material effect on the financial position or results of the operation of the partnership.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an interpretation of ARB No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, which provides new accounting guidance on when to consolidate a variable interest, as defined in FIN 46, in another entity.  FIN 46 applies to variable interests in variable interest entities acquired after January 31, 2003.  FIN 46 should be implemented no later than December 31, 2004. The general partner is in the process of analyzing FIN 46 to determine the impact, if any, on the Partnership’s financial statements.  Management has not yet made any determination of the potential impact FIN 46 might have on the Partnership’s current accounting for its investments in operating partnerships or whether any of those investments might be required to be consolidated.
