NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q for quarterly reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for nine months ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.
Organization
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, V, L.P., Series 4 (the “Partnership”) was formed under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act on July 26, 1995 and commenced operations on July 1, 1996. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in other limited partnerships (“Local Limited Partnerships”) which own and operate multi-family housing complexes (“Housing Complexes”) that are eligible for Federal low-income housing tax credits (“Low Income Housing Tax Credits”). The local general partners (the “Local General Partners”) of each Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility for maintaining, operating and managing the Housing Complexes. Each Local Limited Partnership is governed by its agreement of limited partnership (the “Local Limited Partnership Agreement”).
The general partner of the Partnership is WNC & Associates, Inc. (the “General Partner” or “Associates”). The chairman and president of Associates own substantially all of the outstanding stock of Associates. The business of the Partnership is conducted primarily through the General Partner, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.
The Partnership shall continue to be in full force and effect until December 31, 2050, unless terminated prior to that date, pursuant to the partnership agreement or law.
The financial statements include only activity relating to the business of the Partnership, and do not give effect to any assets that the partners may have outside of their interests in the Partnership, or to any obligations, including income taxes, of the partners.
The partnership agreement authorized the sale of up to 25,000 units of limited partnership interest (“Partnership Units”) at $1,000 per Partnership Unit. The offering of Partnership Units concluded on July 11, 1997 at which time 22,000 Partnership Units representing subscriptions in the amount of $21,914,830, net of discounts of $79,550 for volume purchases and $5,620 for dealer discounts, had been accepted. As December 31, 2013, 21,947 Partnership Units remain outstanding. The General Partner has a 1% interest in operating profits and losses, taxable income and losses and in cash available for distribution from the Partnership and Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The investors (“Limited Partners”) in the Partnership will be allocated the remaining 99% of these items in proportion to their respective investments.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
The proceeds from the disposition of any of the Housing Complexes will be used first to pay debts and other obligations per the respective Local Limited Partnership Agreement. Any remaining proceeds will then be paid to the partners of the Local Limited Partnership, including the Partnership, in accordance with the terms of the particular Local Limited Partnership Agreement. The sale of a Housing Complex may be subject to other restrictions and obligations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a Local Limited Partnership will be able to sell its Housing Complex. Even if it does so, there can be no assurance that any significant amounts of cash will be distributed to the Partnership. Should such distributions occur, the Limited Partners will be entitled to receive distributions from the proceeds remaining after payment of Partnership obligations and funding reserves, equal to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). The General Partner would then be entitled to receive proceeds equal to their capital contributions from the remainder. Any additional sale or refinancing proceeds will be distributed 90% to the Limited Partners (in proportion to their respective investments) and 10% to the General Partner.
Risks and Uncertainties
An investment in the Partnership and the Partnership’s investments in Local Limited Partnerships and their Housing Complexes are subject to risks. These risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in the Partnership, and the amount of proceeds available for distribution to the Limited Partners, if any, on liquidation of the Partnership’s investments. Some of those risks include the following:
The Low Income Housing Tax Credits rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance with these rules results in the loss of future Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits already taken. In most cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that an individual can use is limited to the tax liability due on the person’s last $25,000 of taxable income. The Local Limited Partnerships may be unable to sell the Housing Complexes at a price which would result in the Partnership realizing cash distributions or proceeds from the transaction. Accordingly, the Partnership may be unable to distribute any cash to its Limited Partners. Low Income Housing Tax Credits may be the only benefit from an investment in the Partnership.
The Partnership has invested in a limited number of Local Limited Partnerships. Such limited diversity means that the results of operation of each single Housing Complex will have a greater impact on the Partnership. With limited diversity, poor performance of one Housing Complex could impair the Partnership’s ability to satisfy its investment objectives. Each Housing Complex is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership failed to pay its mortgage, it could lose its Housing Complex in foreclosure. If foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years (the “Compliance Period”), the loss of any remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and a loss of the Partnership’s investment in the Housing Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner of each Local Limited Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership will have very limited rights with respect to management of the Local Limited Partnerships. The Partnership will rely totally on the Local General Partners. Neither the Partnership’s investments in Local Limited Partnerships, nor the Local Limited Partnerships’ investments in Housing Complexes, are readily marketable. To the extent the Housing Complexes receive government financing or operating subsidies, they may be subject to one or more of the following risks: difficulties in obtaining tenants for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in obtaining rent increases; limitations on cash distributions; limitations on sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes; limitations on transfers of interests in Local Limited Partnerships; limitations on removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible changes in applicable regulations. Uninsured casualties could result in loss of property and Low Income Housing Tax Credits and recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits previously taken. The value of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions, including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions, among others.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
The ability of Limited Partners to claim tax losses from the Partnership is limited. The IRS may audit the Partnership or a Local Limited Partnership and challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits and tax losses allocable to the limited partners could be reduced if the IRS were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could reduce tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership. Changes in tax laws could also impact the tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership and/or the value of the Housing Complexes.
No trading market for the Partnership Units exists or is expected to develop. Limited Partners may be unable to sell their Partnership Units except at a discount and should consider their Partnership Units to be a long-term investment. Individual Limited Partners will have no recourse if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited Partners.
Exit Strategy
The Compliance Period for a Housing Complex is generally 15 years following construction or rehabilitation completion. Associates was one of the first in the industry to offer syndicated investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The initial programs have completed their Compliance Periods.
Upon the sale of a Local Limited Partnership Interest or Housing Complex after the end of the Compliance Period, there would be no recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits. A sale prior to the end of the Compliance Period could result in recapture if certain conditions are not met. Eleven of the Housing Complexes have completed their 15-year Compliance Period.
With that in mind, the General Partner is continuing its review of the Housing Complexes. The review considers many factors, including extended use requirements (such as those due to mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the Housing Complexes, and the tax consequences to the Limited Partners from the sale of the Housing Complexes.
Upon identifying those Housing Complexes with the highest potential for a successful sale, refinancing or re-syndication, the Partnership expects to proceed with efforts to liquidate them. The objective is to maximize the Limited Partners’ return wherever possible and, ultimately, to wind down the Partnership as Low Income Housing Tax Credits are no longer available. Local Limited Partnership interests may be disposed of any time by the General Partner in its discretion. While liquidation of the Housing Complexes continues to be evaluated, the dissolution of the Partnership was not imminent as of December 31, 2013.
The proceeds from the disposition of any of the Housing Complexes will be used first to pay debts and other obligations per the respective Local Limited Partnership Agreement. Any remaining proceeds will then be paid to the partners of the Local Limited Partnership, including the Partnership, in accordance with the terms of the particular Local Limited Partnership Agreement. The sale of a Housing Complex may be subject to other restrictions and obligations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a Local Limited Partnership will be able to sell its Housing Complex. Even if it does so, there can be no assurance that any significant amounts of cash will be distributed to the Partnership, as the proceeds first would be used to pay Partnership obligations and funding of reserves.
As of March 31, 2013, the Partnership sold the Housing Complexes of Mesa Verde Apartments, L.P and The North Central Limited Partnership. The partnership also identified and sold its Local Limited Partnership Interest in Lamar Plaza Apartments, LP and D. Hilltop Apartments, Ltd. The Compliance period for D. Hilltop expired by the date of sale so there is no risk of tax credit recapture. The Compliance Period for Mesa Verde Apartments, L.P, The North Central Limited Partnership and Lamar Plaza Apartments, LP expired after the date of sale. The Purchaser has guaranteed that the Local Limited Partnership will stay in compliance with the Low Income Housing Tax Credit code, therefore there was no risk of recapture. The investment balance was zero at the time of sale for each of the Local Limited Partnerships.

The purchaser has agreed to guarantee that the Local Limited Partnerships will stay in compliance with the Low Income Housing Tax Credit code, therefore there is no risk of recapture to the investors of the Partnership.
*The expected closing date for Ashford Place Limited Partnership has yet to be determined. The Local Limited Partnership is not under contact to be purchased as of the report filing.

Method of Accounting for Investments in Local Limited Partnerships
The Partnership accounts for its investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership adjusts its investment balance for its share of the Local Limited Partnerships’ results of operations and for any contributions made and distributions received. The Partnership reviews the carrying amount of an individual investment in a Local Limited Partnership for possible impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable. Recoverability of such investment is measured by the estimated value derived by management, generally consisting of the sum of the remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits estimated to be allocable to the Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership. If an investment is considered to be impaired, the Partnership reduces the carrying value of its investment in any such Local Limited Partnership. The accounting policies of the Local Limited Partnerships, generally, are expected to be consistent with those of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the investments were capitalized as part of the investment account and were being amortized over 30 years (see Notes 2 and 3).
“Equity in income (losses) of Local Limited Partnerships” for each of the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 has been recorded by the Partnership. Management’s estimate for the three and nine month periods is based on either actual unaudited results reported by the Local Limited Partnerships or historical trends in the operations of the Local Limited Partnerships. Equity in income (losses) from the Local Limited Partnerships allocated to the Partnership is not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would be adjusted below zero. If the Local Limited Partnerships report net income in future years, the Partnership will resume applying the equity method only after its share of such net income equals the share of the net losses not recognized during the period(s) the equity method was suspended.
In accordance with the accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Partnership determines when it should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) in its financial statements, and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE. The analysis that must be performed to determine which entity should consolidate a VIE focuses on control and economic factors. A VIE is a legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets, which must be consolidated by a company if it is the primary beneficiary because it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
Based on this guidance, the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership invests meet the definition of a VIE because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations. However, management does not consolidate the Partnership’s interests in these VIEs, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities. The Partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these Local Limited Partnerships as an asset on its balance sheets, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements. The Partnership’s balance in investment in Local Limited Partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on these investments, represents its maximum exposure to loss. The Partnership’s exposure to loss on these Local Limited Partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying Housing Complexes as well as the strength of the Local General Partners and their guarantee against credit recapture to the investors in the Partnership.

Distributions received after the investment has reached zero are recognized as distribution income. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, six and nine investment accounts in Local Limited Partnerships, respectively, had reached a zero balance.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. For all periods presented, the Partnership had no cash equivalents.
Reporting Comprehensive Income
The Partnership had no items of other comprehensive income for all periods presented.
Income Taxes
The Partnership has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Partnership’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Partnership is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Partnership has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure. Income tax returns filed by the Partnership are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service, tax years since 2009 remain open.
Net Loss Per Partnership Unit
Net loss per Partnership Unit includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to Limited Partners by the weighted average number of Partnership Units outstanding during the period. Calculation of diluted net loss per Partnership Unit is not required.

Impairment
The Partnership reviews its investments in Local Limited Partnerships for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such investments may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the investment to the sum of the total amount of the remaining Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to the Partnership and any estimated residual value of the investment. No impairment loss was recorded against the investments for any of the periods presented.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2013, respectively, the Partnership also evaluates its intangibles for impairment in connection with its investments in Local Limited Partnerships. Impairment on the intangibles is measured by comparing the Partnership’s total investment balance after impairment of investments in Local Limited Partnerships to the sum of the total of the remaining Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to the Partnership and any estimated residual value of the investments. Impairment loss of $100,779 and $0 was recorded against the related intangibles for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Amortization
Acquisition fees and costs were being amortized over 30 years using the straight-line method. For the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, amortization expense was $1,800 and $5,400, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, all acquisition fees and costs were fully amortized or impaired.
Revenue Recognition
The Partnership is entitled to receive reporting fees from the Local Limited Partnerships. The intent of the reporting fees is to offset (in part) administrative costs incurred by the Partnership in corresponding with the Local Limited Partnerships. Due to the uncertainty of the collection of these fees, the Partnership recognizes reporting fees as collections are made.

Certain Local Limited Partnerships have incurred significant operating losses and/or have working capital deficiencies. In the event these Local Limited Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital contributions by the Partnership and/or the Local General Partners may be required to sustain the operations of such Local Limited Partnerships. If additional capital contributions are not made when they are required, the Partnership’s investment in certain of such Local Limited Partnerships could be impaired, and the loss and recapture of the related Low Income Housing Tax Credits could occur.
Troubled Housing Complexes
The Local Limited Partnership, Wynwood Place, L.P. (“Wynwood Place”), in which the Partnership owns a 99.98% interest, struggled with occupancy and cash flow beginning in early 2002. The original Local General Partner funded operating deficits through May 2006 totaling $42,198, at which time they sought and brought forth an acceptable replacement Local General Partner, Greystone Affordable Housing, GP, LLC (“Greystone”). Associates approved this substitute Local General Partner as well as a related management agent of Greystone to manage the property. Through the year ended March 31, 2008, Greystone had advanced $155,266 to meet operating deficits and fund necessary renovation work at Wynwood Place. Occupancy and overall performance of the property has continued to improve with Greystone as both general partner and management agent. As of March 31, 2013, Wynwood Place had reached 100% occupancy. The property continued to not be able to generate enough cash flows to meet its financial obligations. A large storm in 2011 resulted in damage to the property that exceeded budgeted repairs and maintenance expenditures by $28,000. Wynwood Place will remain on the watch list until such time acceptable performance has been achieved and cash flows have improved.

Additionally, the management company also evicted several long term residents for non-payment and criminal activity during 2012. The combination of vacancy losses, associated turnover costs and capital expenditures incurred throughout the year caused the property to operate below its requirements. The General Partner funded the year-end cash flow deficit by temporarily suspending replacement reserve deposits, deferring management fees and reimbursable expenses due to the affiliated management company. The security deposit and escrow accounts remain fully funded. The management company is focused on reducing expenses to decrease operating deficits. However, the property is budgeted to operate at a deficit in 2013 and the General Partner is expected to continue to fund shortfalls. The investment balance for Wynwood Place was zero for all periods presented. The 15 year compliance period for Wynwood Place ended on December 31, 2013.
Although the year-to-date economic occupancy increased significantly from the second quarter 2013, the physical occupancy decreased to 79%. Vacancy and bad debt for this asset are a direct result of gang related activities at and around the property. The property management agent is working diligently with the Gang Task Force division of the local Police Department to remove these elements and is beginning to see positive results. In addition, deteriorating subfloors are elevating the repair and maintenance costs well above budgeted levels. With insufficient replacement reserves, these improvements are funded through the cash account. Approximately $5,500 has been used year-to-date in incentives in an effort to stabilize quality occupancy. The affiliated property management agent is funding the cash deficit by deferring management fees and advancing staff payroll. Although this asset continues to struggle to meet financial performance expectations there is no identified risk to the tax credits.
Ashford Place Limited Partnership (“Ashford”) a Local Limited Partnership has struggled for several years with high turnover and a market which has increasingly become more competitive. Several factors have led to poor, property specific results over the past several years. Occupancy historically has been soft, never higher than 90% for any successive quarters for the past three years. Additionally, rents at Ashford have not kept pace with the increase in expenses, and as a result of the soft market conditions, cash flow has been negative since 2002. As this has been a factor from the onset of operations, the original Local General Partner, Cowen Properties, Inc., was unable to meet its financial obligations to the Local Limited Partnership and, as a result, Associates removed the original Local General Partner in March 2002 and substituted WNC Oklahoma, LLC, an affiliated entity. Since inception of Ashford, the Partnership and the General Partner of the Partnership have advanced $471,514 and $258,567 respectively to meet operating deficits as well as capital needs requirements. Ashford had also been subjected to restrictive reserve requirements imposed by the mortgage lender. However, WNC Oklahoma, LLC has been successful in having these requirements reduced which has had a beneficial effect on Ashford’s operating expenses. As of 2011, Ashford has been under the watch of WNC’s Structured Assets Group (“SAG”). During that time, SAG removed the managing agent Western Property Management in November 2011 and they were replaced with Professional Property Management. With a new management team in place along with a new advertising plan to attract more tenants, as of May 2013, Ashford was able to bring its occupancy level to 100%. SAG attempted to renegotiate the terms of the loan so as to improve the property operations. The lender would not consider any alternatives. In response, Ashford filed for bankruptcy protection so as to obtain fair lender terms or negotiate a sale of the property. The investment balance for Ashford Place was zero for all periods presented. The 15 year Compliance Period for Ashford Place ended December 31, 2012.

Accumulated amortization of these capitalized costs was $0 and $34,200 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. Impairment on the intangibles is measured by comparing the Partnership’s total investment balance after impairment of investments in Local Limited Partnerships to the sum of the total of the remaining Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to the Partnership and any estimated residual value of the investments. If an impairment loss related to the acquisition expenses is recorded, the accumulated amortization is reduced to zero at that time. As of December 31, 2013, all acquisition fees were fully amortized or impaired. | ||
(b) | Reimbursement of costs incurred by the General Partner or an affiliate of Associates in connection with the acquisition of Local Limited Partnerships. These reimbursements have not exceeded 1% of the gross proceeds.

In either case, the fee will be decreased or increased annually based on changes to the Consumer Price Index. However, in no event will the maximum amount exceed 0.2% of the Invested Assets of the Partnerships, as defined. “Invested assets” means the sum of the Partnership’s Investment in Local Limited Partnerships and the Partnership’s allocable share of the amount of the mortgage loans on and other debts related to the Housing Complexes owned by such Local Limited Partnerships. For the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership incurred asset management fees of $26,811 and $37,691, respectively.

Payment of this fee is subordinated to the limited partners receiving a preferred return of 14% through December 31, 2011 and 6% thereafter (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and is payable only if the General Partner or its affiliates render services in the sales effort. No such fee was incurred for all periods presented. | ||
(e) | The Partnership reimburses the General Partner or its affiliates for operating expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership. For the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership reimbursed operating expenses of $254,613 and $20,829, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
With the exception of the discussion regarding historical information, this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other discussions elsewhere in this Form 10-Q contain forward looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations subject to uncertainties and other factors which may involve known and unknown risks that could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from those projected or implied. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions about future events which may not prove to be accurate.
Risks and uncertainties inherent in forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Partnership’s future cash flows and ability to obtain sufficient financing, level of operating expenses, conditions in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit property market and the economy in general, as well as legal proceedings. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.
Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to the Partnership or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements in this Form 10-Q and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and should be read in conjunction with the combined condensed financial statements and accompanying notes included within this report.
Financial Condition
The Partnership’s assets at December 31, 2013 consisted primarily of $1,264,000 in cash, $22,000 in other assets and $1,000 in prepaid expenses. Liabilities at December 31, 2013 primarily consisted of $23,000 of payables to Local Limited Partnerships, $16,000 of accrued fees and expenses due to the General Partner and/or its affiliates, and $10,000 in prepaid disposition proceeds.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 The Partnership’s net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $(75,000) compared to $(5,000) net loss recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2012. There was an increase of $39,000 in gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships will vary from period to period, depending on the number of Housing Complexes that have been identified for disposition, the value of such Housing Complexes, and the closing dates of the transactions. There was a $12,000 increase of distribution income for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012 due to the fact that Local Limited Partnerships pay distributions to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnerships’ cash flows will allow for the payment. There was a decrease in equity in income of Local Limited Partnerships of $(10,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The equity in income can vary each year depending on the operations of each of the Local Limited Partnerships. Accounting and legal fees increased by $(109,000) due to the timing of accounting work performed. The Partnership was past due on multiple annual and quarterly reports. The Partnership is now current in all of its filings. There was a $(6,000) decrease in asset management fees for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The fees are calculated based on the value of invested assets. As Local Limited Partnerships are sold, the invested assets decrease, thereby decreasing the asset management fees. The amortization expense decreased by $2,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 due to the fact that the acquisition fees and cost were fully amortized or impaired as of June 30, 2013 and no further amortization could be recorded.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31, 2012 The Partnership’s net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 was $1,547,000 compared to $11,000 net income recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. The change was primarily due to the increase of $1,852,000 in gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. The gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships will vary from period to period, depending on the number of Housing Complexes that have been identified for disposition, the value of such Housing Complexes, and the closing dates of the transactions. There was an increase in impairment loss of $(101,000) during the nine months ended December 31, 2013. The impairment loss can vary each year depending on the annual decrease in Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to the partnership and the current estimated residual value of the investments compared to the current carrying value of each of the investments. During the nine months ended December 31, 2013 advances of $(37,000) were made to several Local Limited Partnerships which were reserved for in full compared to $(2,000) advanced and reserved for during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. The advances made to the troubled Local Limited Partnership can vary each year depending on the operations of each Local Limited Partnership. There was a decrease in equity in income of Local Limited Partnerships of $(29,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. The equity in income can vary each year depending on the operations of each of the Local Limited Partnerships. Operating income increased by $47,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2012 due to the fact that Local Limited Partnerships pay reporting fees and distributions to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnerships’ cash flows will allow for the payment. Accounting and legal fees increased by $(201,000) due to the timing of accounting work performed. The Partnership was past due on multiple annual and quarterly reports. The Partnership is now current in all of its filings. There was an $11,000 decrease in asset management fees for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. The fees are calculated based on the value of invested assets. As Local Limited Partnerships are sold, the invested assets decrease, thereby decreasing the asset management fees. The amortization expense decreased by $4,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2013 due to the fact that the acquisition fees and cost were fully amortized or impaired as of June 30, 2013 and no further amortization could be recorded.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31, 2012 Net cash provided during the nine months ended December 31, 2013 was $967,000, compared to net cash provided during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 of $30,000. The change was due primarily to the fact that during the nine months ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership received $2,166,000 in net proceeds from the sale of its Local Limited Partnerships compared to $17,000 in sale proceeds received during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. Proceeds received from the disposition of Local Limited Partnerships will vary from period to period as discussed above. During the nine months ended December 31, 2013 the Partnership advanced $(37,000) to Local Limited Partnerships that were experiencing operational issues compared to $(2,000) advanced for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. During the nine months ended December 31, 2013 the Partnership paid the General Partner or an affiliate $(255,000) for operating expenses paid on its behalf compared to $(21,000) reimbursed during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. The Partnership also paid $(203,000) to the General Partner or an affiliate in accrued asset management fees for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $0 reimbursed for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. Reimbursement of operating expenses and accrued asset management fees are paid after management reviews the cash position of the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership paid $(786,000) of disposition proceeds to the General Partner for advances previously forgiven. During the nine months ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership made $(11,000) in capital contributions to a Local Limited Partnerships compared to no contribution made during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. Capital contributions are paid when the Local Limited Partnership reaches certain benchmarks. Reporting fees increased by $45,000 and distribution increased by $2,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 due to the fact that Local Limited Partnerships pay reporting fees and distributions to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnerships’ cash flows will allow for the payment.

Recent Accounting Changes
In May 2011, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance related to fair value measurements on how to measure fair value and what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. For fair value measurements categorized as level 3, a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, a description of the valuation processes and narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update is not expected to materially affect the Partnership’s financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
NOT APPLICABLE
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) | Disclosure controls and procedures | |
As of the end of the periods covered by this report, the Partnership’s General Partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Associates, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Partnership’s “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, consistent with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. | ||
The Partnership must rely on the Local Limited Partnerships to provide the Partnership with certain information necessary to the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports. Factors in the accounting at the Local Limited Partnerships have caused delays in the provision of such information during past reporting periods, and resulted in the Partnership’s inability to file its periodic reports in a timely manner. | ||
Once the Partnership has received the necessary information from the Local Limited Partnerships, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Associates believe that the material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is effectively recorded, processed, summarized and reported, albeit not in a timely manner. Going forward, the Partnership will use the means reasonably within its power to impose procedures designed to obtain from the Local Limited Partnerships the information necessary to the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports. | ||
(b) | Changes in internal controls | |
There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. |
