PART I

 

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 47 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, 2004, the Partnership had limited partnership equity interests in ninety-three operating partnerships which own operating apartment complexes as follows: eighteen in Series 1; eight in Series 2; thirty in Series 3; eighteen in Series 4; four 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 ninty-nine 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.

PART II

 

Item 5.                    Market for the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Interests and Related Partnership Matters and Issuer Parchases of Partnership Interests

 

(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, 2004, the Partnership has 6,866 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 977 investors holding 1,299,900 BACs; Series 2 had 664 investors holding 830,300 BACs; Series 3 had 2,155 investors holding 2,882,200 BACs; Series 4 had 1,910 investors holding 2,995,300 BACs; Series 5 had 368 investors holding 489,900 BACs; and Series 6 had 792 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, 2004.

 

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, 2004 the Partnership accrued $858,887 in annual partnership management fees.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 the Partnership paid $377,095 in partnership management fees.  As of March 31, 2004, total partnership management fees accrued were $10,695,613.  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 $572,506 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; $75,000 to Series 2; $264,474 to Series 3; and $142,222 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.

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, 2004 and 2003 was $765,468 and $838,478, 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, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership received $93,419 and $73,017, 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, 2004 and 2003, the Qualified Occupancy for the Series was 100%.  The Series had a total of 18 properties at March 31, 2004, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.

 

For the tax years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Series, in total, generated $2,391,733 and $2,127,937, 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, 2003 and 2002 Series 1 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $582,030 and $1,547,903, respectively, when adjusted for depreciation which is a non-cash item.  Operations in the current and prior year were negatively impacted by operations at Gennesee Commons, which are discussed below.  Operations in the prior year were also negatively impacted by an Impairment Loss reported by one of the Operating Partnerships.

 

Gennesee Commons Associates (River Park Commons) is a 402 unit property located in Rochester, New York.  The property is at the end of the compliance period and currently in negotiations to be sold to a local developer. The property has not made the minimum debt service payments outlined in the forbearance agreement since 1997.  At this time, the mortgage holder has not taken adverse action.  The property’s financial trouble stems from lack of income due to low occupancy.  Occupancy was 72% as of December 2003.  The property cannot keep up with its Reserve Requirement deposits and accounts payable were $472,171 for 2003, an increase of 65% from 2002.  In addition, the utility expense increased by 15% from 2002 to 2003 due to an inadequate heating system which cannot be replaced because of the structure of the building. The property itself is not in good physical condition, which is hindering its ability to stay competitive.  Other factors that affect occupancy at this time, are a decrease in population in the area, and a depressed local economy.  Maintenance and administrative expenses have come down in 2003 from 2002 and the operating account balance was strong at $59,172. The management company continues to work with local and state agencies to locate qualified residents.  Also, the management company has developed a referral system with local non-profit agencies and churches. The Investment General Partner has requested first quarter 2004 information on the property, and continues to work diligently with the management company on strengthening property operations.

 

Kingston Property Associates (Broadway East Townhouses) is a 122 unit property located in Kingston, New York.  Effective July 2003, the Operating General Partner interest for Kingston Property Associates Limited Partnership sold from TFG/New York Properties, Inc. to Kingston Winn Limited Partnership.  Also, the management company changed from The Finch Group to an affiliate of the new Operating General Partner, Winn Residential.  The Lender and the Operating General Partner have entered into a Forbearance Agreement, dated July 16, 2003, which prevents the Lender from filing foreclosure action or accelerating the indebtedness providing they follow the terms outlined.  The new Operating General Partner is trying to re-syndicate the property.  The 15-year compliance period for Kingston Property Associates ended December 31, 2002.

 

(Series 2).  As of March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%.  The Series had a total of 8 properties at March 31, 2004, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.

 

For the tax years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Series, in total, generated $376,519 and $885,930, respectively, in passive income tax losses that were passed through to the investors, and also provided $0.06 in tax credits per BAC to the investors for both years.

For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 Series 2 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $302,556 and $156,586, respectively, when adjusted for depreciation which is a non-cash item.   Operations in the current year were negatively impacted by the operations at Annadale Housing Partners, which are discussed below.  Current year operations were also negatively impacted by a one time impairment loss reported by another Operating Partnership in the amount of $170,000.

 

Annadale Housing Partners (Annadale Apartments) has historically reported net losses due to operational issues associated with the property. In 2003, occupancy decreased from the previous year’s level, averaging 81.92% through December.  Due to the efforts of management, occupancy has shown improvement in the first quarter of 2004, with March occupancy at 86%.  The majority of the vacancies are in the elderly designated units where the occupancy rate is 66%.  This has historically been the case as the senior population does not find the location a desirable one.  There are no amenities in the area, and no transportation.  Management has tried a variety of marketing approaches and has recently replaced the site staff in an effort to bring up occupancy.  The new staff that has been in place for six months has just started to see improvements.  Management has promoted events such as a food drive to bring the community together.  A new advertisement has been running in the local paper offering the first months rent free at the Senior property.  Expenses decreased from the prior year levels, however remain higher than the state average.  Maintenance costs continue to be high due to the provisions of the loan agreements which stipulate that the Operating Partnership must spend a minimum of $55,000 per year on capital improvements, with the funding coming from operations. Capital improvements undertaken in 2003 include exterior painting of the buildings, completion of sprinkler installation and repairs, and carpet replacement.  Air conditioning expenses increased utility costs as late summer saw several days of triple digit heat.  Despite the decreased occupancy and the high expenses, the Operating Partnership operated above breakeven in 2003, primarily due to the accrual of soft debt.  Operating statements through March 2004 demonstrate that the Operating Partnership continues to operate above breakeven. The Investment General Partner will continue to monitor this Operating Partnership until occupancy increases and property operations stabilize.

 

(Series 3).  As of March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Qualified Occupancy for the Series was 100%.  The Series had a total of 30 properties at March 31, 2004, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.

 

For the tax years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Series, in total, generated $2,582,247 and $2,451,603, 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, 2003 and 2002 Series 3 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $245,479 and 75,734, respectively, when adjusted for depreciation which is a non-cash item.  Operations in the current year were negativly impacted by the operations at Central Parkway Towers, which are discussed below.

 

Central Parkway Towers’ (Central Parkway Towers) average occupancy decreased to 45% through March 2004 compared to 2003’s average occupancy of 81%.  The City of Cincinnati has canceled support programs previously utilized by the property to enhance occupancy.  The property’s overall financial position has deteriorated significantly as a result of this decrease in occupancy.  The Operating General Partner had requested a release from his obligations, but no one else has expressed interest in assuming this responsibility.   The Operating General Partner and the Investment General Partner have now agreed to stabilize the property to the best of their abilities in an attempt to

 

21



 

reach the end of the compliance period on December 31, 2004, there by avoiding the possibility of recapture of the tax credits.  Funding will be minimized, and may include $5,000 per month for lease payments, up to $26,000 for insurance which expires in July and other necessary payments to keep the project operational through the end of 2004.  The Investment General Partner has funded $5,000 through first quarter.  The Operating General Partner requested a change in the Partnership Agreement to assign his interest to an LLC to limit his liability through the remaining term. The Investment General Partner has approved the request.  At the end of the compliance period the Investment General Partner will allow the lease to revert back to the Operating General Partner and will no longer have an interewt in the Operating Partnership.

 

Lincoln Hotel Associates was sold to Caritas Communities, Inc. in February 2004.  Caritas Communities, Inc. is a non-profit corporation that specializes in housing indigent and homeless populations.  Historically, Lincoln Hotel’s operations struggled.  The property operated under a forbearance agreement with the lender beginning in 1997.  The Operating General Partner entered into an Option Agreement to sell the property to Caritas Communities, Inc. upon the expiration of the Compliance Period on December 31, 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 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 $453,144 and $31,790, respectively.  Of the proceeds received it is estimated that approximately $397,078 and $27,857, respectively will be distributed to the investors.  Provided that these are the actual amounts distributed, the per BAC distribution amounts will be $.138 and $.007 for Series 3 and 17, respectively. 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 investor distributions will be made once the 2003 tax return for the Operating Partnership has been received and the appropriate non-resident withholding calculations are completed. The amounts for each series, while different in actual dollars, represent the same percentage of return to each Investment Partnership.  The remaining proceeds total of $60,000 is anticipated to be paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to 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 recorded a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of $453,144

 

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, 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 $1,572,368 and $136,352, respectively.  The majority of the sale proceeds were received by the Investment Partnerships in May 2003, and the balance was

received in September 2003.  Of the proceeds received, it is estimated that approximately $1,240,404 and $107,565, for Series 3 and Series 15, respectively will be distributed to the investors.  Provided that these are the actual amounts distributed, the per BAC distributions will be $.430 and $.028 for Series 3 and 15, respectively. The total returned to the investors will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor.  The investor distributions will be made once the 2003 tax return for the Operating Partnership has been received and the appropriate non-resident withholding calculations are completed.  The amounts for each series, while different in actual dollars, represent the same percentage of return to each Investment Partnership.  The remaining proceeds total of $360,750 is anticipated to be paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale and partial reimbursement of amounts payable to affiliates. 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 recorded gains on the sale of the Operating Partnership of $1,572,368 and $70,176, respectively.

For the tax year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Series, in total, generated $514,158 and $503,637, respectively, in passive income tax losses that were passed through to the investors, and also provided $0.02 in tax credits per BAC to the investors for both years.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 Series 6 reflects a net income from Operating Partnerships of $795,953 and $872,405, respectively, when adjusted for depreciation which is a non-cash item.

 

Socorro Properties, Limited Partnership, (Los Pueblos Apartments) located in Socorro, New Mexico operated below breakeven throughout 2003. The primary reason for its negative cash flow is low occupancy, which averaged 78.39% for 2003.  Occupancy has improved during the last quarter of 2003 and into 2004, averaging 90% for the first quarter of 2004.  Early in 2003, the property was without a maintenance technician, the property suffered from some deferred maintenance and unit turnover was delayed.  The Operating General Partner sent a maintenance coordinator and another maintenance technician who cured the deferred maintenance in mid-2003.  The property has a lot of traffic, but the turnover is very high.  The property brought on a new maintenance technician at the beginning of the third quarter of 2003.

 

The Operating General Partner of the Partnership Sherburne Housing Redevelopment Company, (Sherburne Senior Housing) has negotiated a sale of its Operating General Partner interest.  This transaction was completed in August 2003.  In addition to the transfer of Operating 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 in December 2004.

 

Auburn Trace Limited (Auburn Trace) is a 256 unit property located in Delray Beach, Florida that operated below breakeven in 2003.  The primary cause of the negative cash flow was due to high operating expenses.  The Operating General Partner is attempting to reduce operating expenses primarily in the areas of administration and maintenance.  Maintenance costs increased in 2003 due to the replacement of air conditioner and water heater units and the addition of a security system at the property.  Many units also had to be painted, carpeted and have cupboards replaced after tenant evictions.  As these maintenance projects are completed, maintenance expense should decrease significantly.  Through the first quarter 2004, the property is generating cash and expenses have decreased.  Physical occupancy has been consistently strong at this property, and is currently at 99% as of April 30, 2004.  The Investment General Partner will continue working with the Operating General Partner to stabilize the property.  The mortgage and property taxes, property insurance are current.  The Operating General Partner continues to fund operating deficits.

Principal 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 1 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 is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which is primarily investments in limited partnerships.  The Partnership accounts for its investment in limited partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Partnership does not control the operations of the Operating Limited Partnership.

 

If the book value of the Partnership’s investment in an Operating Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, which generally consists of the remaining future Low-Income Housing Credits allocable to the Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership, the Partnership reduces its investment in any such Operating Limited Partnership and includes such reduction in equity in loss of investment of limited partnerships.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 a business enterprise must consolidate a variable interest entity, as defined in FIN 46.  In December 2003, the FASB reissued the interpretation to clarify certain requirements and provide additional implementation guidance.  The general partners, after careful review and analysis of FIN 46, have preliminarily determined that FIN 46 will have no effect on the partnership’s current accounting for its investments in operating limited partnerships.

 

28



 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.”  SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be classified as equity or “mezzanine” equity, by now requiring those instruments to be classified as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) in the balance sheets.  Further, SFAS No. 150 requires disclosure regarding the terms of those instruments and settlement alternatives.  The guidance in SFAS No. 150 generally was effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The general partners have evaluated SFAS No. 150 and determined that it does not have an effect on the partnership’s financial reporting and disclosures.
