INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. IV

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – General

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2014, include the accounts of Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. IV (the “Partnership”) and seven other limited partnerships (“subsidiary partnerships”, “subsidiaries” or “Local Partnerships”) owning affordable apartment complexes (“Properties”) that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credits. Some of the Properties may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credits. The general partner of the Partnership is Related Independence L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”). Centerline Holding Company (“Centerline”) was the ultimate parent of Centerline Affordable Housing Advisors LLC (“CAHA”), the managing member of the General Partner. On June 12, 2013, Centerline and an affiliate of Hunt Companies, Inc. (“Hunt”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger. On November 14, 2013, the shareholders of Centerline approved the acquisition of Centerline by an affiliate of Hunt Capital Partners, LLC, the affordable housing division affiliate of Hunt. Since November 14, 2013, Hunt has been the ultimate parent of CAHA. For information on Hunt, see www.huntcompanies.com. The information contained on, or connected to, Hunt’s website is not incorporated by reference into this Form 10-Q. Through the rights of the Partnership and/or an affiliate of the General Partner, which affiliate has a contractual obligation to act on behalf of the Partnership to remove the general partner of the subsidiary partnerships (“Local General Partners”) and to approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership has a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary partnerships.

 

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

 

The net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests amounted to approximately ($8,200) and $864,200 and ($9,400) and $864,100 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Partnership’s investment in each subsidiary is equal to the respective subsidiary’s partners’ equity less noncontrolling interest capital, if any.

 

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted or condensed. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014.

 

The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of the General Partner of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. However, the operating results and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08 “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposal of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 provides a narrower definition of discontinued operations than under existing GAAP. The standard update requires that only disposals of components of an entity (or groups of components) that represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the reporting entity’s operations are reported in the financial statements as discontinued operations. The standard also provides guidance on the financial statement presentations and disclosures of discontinued operations. The ASU is effective and will be applied prospectively for disposals (or classifications of businesses as held-for-sale) of components or an entity that occur in an annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014.

 

In May 14, 2014, FASB and IASB issued a new joint revenue recognition standard that supersedes nearly all US GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The core principal of the standard is that revenue recognition should depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new standard is effective for the Partnership for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2017 and the effects of the standard on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements are not known at this time.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard update provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure. The new guidance is effective for all annual and interim periods ending after December 16, 2016. The new guidance will not have an impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

(a)The General Partner is entitled to receive a partnership management fee, after payment of all Partnership expenses, which together with the annual local administrative fees will not exceed a maximum of 0.5% per annum of invested assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), for administering the affairs of the Partnership. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the partnership management fee will be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion based upon its review of the Partnership’s investments. Unpaid partnership management fees for any year are deferred without interest and will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all Partnership liabilities have been made other than those owed to the General Partner and its affiliates. Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to approximately $2,262,000 and $2,719,000 were accrued and unpaid as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Current year partnership management fees may be paid out of operating reserves or refinancing and sales proceeds. However, the General Partner cannot demand payment of the deferred fees beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them.

 

(b)The Partnership reimburses the General Partner and its affiliates for actual Partnership operating expenses incurred by the General Partner and its affiliates on the Partnership’s behalf. The amount of reimbursement from the Partnership is limited by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Another affiliate of the General Partner performs asset monitoring for the Partnership. These services include site visits and evaluations of the subsidiary partnerships’ performance. Expense reimbursements and asset monitoring fees owed to the General Partner and its affiliates amounting to approximately $21,000 and $83,000 were accrued and unpaid as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. The General Partner does not intend to demand payment of the deferred payables beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them. The Partnership anticipates that these will be paid, if at all, from working capital reserves or future sales proceeds.

NOTE 3– Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Held in Escrow

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities

 

The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Mortgage Notes Payable, Accrued Interest and Interest Rate Swap Agreement

 

The Partnership has categorized the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based upon the fair value hierarchy specified by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). This standard provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Partnership’s own assumptions.

 

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

 

  At December 31, 2014   At March 31, 2014 
  Carrying       Carrying     
  Amount   Fair Value   Amount   Fair Value 
LIABILITIES:                    
Mortgage notes  $9,537,520   $8,238,976   $16,456,014   $9,463,292 

 

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

 

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

 

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

 

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

 

Fixed swap – initial notional amount  $3,050,000 
Fixed swap – current notional amount   2,846,000 
Fixed rate   4.65%
Variable rate at September 30, 2014   3.75%
Termination date   September 1, 2015 

  

Fair value for the interest rate swap is estimated using Level 2 inputs. At September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the fair value of the interest rate swap was approximately $25,700 and $44,000, respectively.

 

Derivative Instruments not meeting the criteria for hedge accounting (or for which an entity elects not to apply hedge accounting to the derivative in the event that the criteria are met) are recorded at fair value with any change in fair value reflected in the condensed statement of operations in the period of change.

 

Due to General Partner and Affiliates and Due to/from Local General Partners and Affiliates

 

Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of due to General Partner and affiliates and due to/from Local General Partners and affiliates because market information on such obligations is not currently available.

NOTE 4 – Sale of Properties

 

The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments. It is anticipated that this process will continue to take a number of years. Through December 31, 2014, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interest in six Local Partnerships and the property and the related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships have been sold. There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its five remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investments. All gains and losses on sales are included in discontinued operations.

 

On November 5, 2014, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Figueroa Senior Housing Limited Partnership (“Figueroa”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a sales price of $480,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $6,697,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of the same amount at the date of the sale, which was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

 

On November 5, 2014, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in NNPHI Senior Housing Limited Partnership (“Normandie”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a sales price of $447,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $4,336,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of the same amount at the date of the sale, which was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

 

On October 4, 2013, the property and the related assets and liabilities of Guymon Housing Partners, L.P. (“Guymon”) were sold to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $2,200,000. The Partnership received $188,875 as a distribution from this sale after the repayment of the mortgages, other liabilities, closing costs and distributions to other partners of approximately $2,011,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $166,000 which was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. An adjustment to the gain of approximately $653,000 was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. An additional adjustment to the gain of approximately $24,000 was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 due to a final cash distribution sent to the Partnership from Guymon, resulting in an overall gain of approximately $843,000.

NOTE 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

a) Liquidity

 

At December 31, 2014, the Partnership’s liabilities exceeded assets by $10,964,170 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Partnership had net income of $11,025,769. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, partnership management fees of approximately $2,262,000 will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all other Partnership liabilities have been made other than those owed to the General Partner and its affiliates. As such, the General Partner cannot demand payment of these deferred fees beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them.

 

All of the mortgage payable balance of $9,537,520 and the accrued interest payable balance of $158,834 is of a nonrecourse nature and secured by the respective properties. The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments. Historically, the mortgage notes and accrued interest thereon have been assumed by the buyer in instances of sales of the Partnership’s interest or have been paid off from sales proceeds in instances of sales of the property. In most instances when the Partnership’s interest was sold and liabilities were assumed, the Partnership recognized a gain from the sale. The Partnership owns the limited partner interest in all its investments, and as such has no financial responsibility to fund operating losses incurred by the Local Partnerships. The maximum loss the Partnership would incur is its net investment in the respective Local Partnerships and the potential recapture of the Tax Credits if the investment is lost before the expiration of the Compliance Period. Dispositions of any investment in a Local Partnership are not anticipated to impact the future results of liquidity or financial condition of the Partnership.

 

The Partnership has unconsolidated cash reserves of approximately $525,000 at December 31, 2014. Such amount is considered sufficient to cover the Partnership’s day to day operating expenses, excluding fees to the General Partner, for at least the next year. The Partnership’s operating expenses, excluding the Local Partnerships’ expenses and related party expenses amounted to approximately $156,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014.

 

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

 

b) Uninsured Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Partnership maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various banks. The accounts at each bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per entity per institution. At times, the balances exceed the FDIC insurance limit.

 

c) Leases

 

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

 

d) Cash Distributions

 

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

 

e) Property Management Fees

 

Property management fees incurred by the Local Partnerships amounted to $58,409 and $55,370 and $ 149,438 and $171,831 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Of these fees, $27,667 and $30,935 and $83,409 and $104,904 were incurred to the Local General Partners for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which include $0 and $9,283 and $0 and $27,671 of fees relating to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

f) Other

 

The Partnership is subject to risks incidental to potential losses arising from the management and ownership of real estate. The Partnership can also be affected by poor economic conditions generally. Of the remaining five properties (40%) are located in Kentucky with others each located in a different state. There are also substantial risks associated with owning properties receiving government assistance, for example the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) to make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owners’ equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially liquidate its investments in subsidiary partnerships during the period that the subsidy agreements are in existence without HUD’s approval. Furthermore there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental assistance contract expires.

 

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

 

g) Subsequent Events

 

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

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

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Partnership originally invested all of its net proceeds in fourteen Local Partnerships of which, approximately $148,000 remains to be paid to the Local Partnerships (including approximately $123,000 being held in escrow). The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all its investments. Through December 31, 2014, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interests in six Local Partnerships and the property and the related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships have been sold. There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its five remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investments. All gains and losses on sales are included in discontinued operations.

 

Short-Term

 

The Partnership’s primary sources of funds include: (i) working capital reserves; (ii) interest earned on the working capital reserves; (iii) cash distributions from operations of the Local Partnerships; and (iv) sales and/or refinance proceeds and distributions. Such funds, although minimal (other than possible sales and/or refinance proceeds and distributions), are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership. During the nine months ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, distributions from operations of the Local Partnerships amounted to approximately $21,000 and $21,000, respectively. In addition, during the nine months ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, distributions to the Partnership from sales proceeds amounted to approximately $951,000 and $189,000, respectively. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to BACs holders in circumstances other than refinancing or sales.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership and its consolidated Local Partnerships decreased approximately $278,000. This decrease was due to cash used in operating activities ($621,000), repayment of mortgage notes ($206,000), repayments to local general partners and affiliates ($218,000), an increase in cash held in escrow relating to investing activities ($48,000), acquisitions of property and equipment ($37,000) and distributions to noncontrolling interests ($99,000), which exceeded proceeds from sale of properties, net of closing cost $951,000. Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash provided by operating activities is depreciation and amortization in the amount of approximately $87,000 and a change from interest rate swap of approximately ($18,000).

 

Total expenses from operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest, unrealized change in interest rate swap and general and administrative-related parties, totaled $479,630 and $345,280 and $1,503,750 and $1,371,676, respectively.

 

Accounts payable from operations as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014 were $250,083 and $392,721, respectively. Accounts payable are short term liabilities which are expected to be paid from operating cash flows, working capital balances at the Local Partnership level, Local General Partner advances and in certain circumstances advances from the Partnership. Accrued interest payable from operations as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014 was $158,834 and $4,626,937, respectively. Such amount represents the accrued interest on all mortgage loans, which include primary and secondary loans. Certain secondary loans have provisions such that interest is accrued but not payable until a future date. The Partnership anticipates the payment of accrued interest on the secondary loans (which make up the majority of the accrued interest payable amount and which have been accumulating since the Partnership’s investment in the respective Local Partnership) will be made from future refinancings or sales proceeds of the respective Local Partnerships. In addition, each Local Partnership’s mortgage notes are collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective Local Partnership, and are without further recourse to the Partnership. The maximum loss the Partnership would incur is its net investment in the respective Local Partnership.

 

The Partnership has unconsolidated cash reserves of approximately $525,000 at December 31, 2014. Such amount is considered sufficient to cover the Partnership’s day to day operating expenses, excluding fees to the General Partner, for at least the next fiscal year.

 

At December 31, 2014, the Partnership’s liabilities exceeded assets by $10,964,170 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Partnership had a net income of $11,025,769. However, because 1) the provisions of the secondary loans defer the payment of accrued interest of the respective Local Partnerships and will be made from future refinancing or sales proceeds of the respective Local Partnerships, 2) the General Partner continues to defer the payment of fees as discussed below and in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, and 3) the Partnership has sufficient unconsolidated working capital reserves to cover the Partnership’s day to day operating expenses, the Partnership (and the applicable Local Partnerships) believes it has sufficient liquidity and ability to generate cash and to meet existing and known or reasonably likely future cash requirements over both the short and long term.

 

Long-Term

 

Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to approximately $2,262,000 and $2,719,000 were accrued and unpaid as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively, and are included in the line item Due to general partners and affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets. Unpaid partnership management fees for any year are to be deferred without interest and will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all Partnership liabilities have been made other than to those owed to the General Partner and its affiliates.

 

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

 

The Partnership’s liquidity considerations are discussed in Note 6a in Item 1.

 

-14-
 

 

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

 

Except as described above, management is not aware of any trends or events, commitments or uncertainties, which have not otherwise been disclosed that will or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes the only impact would be from laws that have not yet been adopted. Although 40% of the properties are located in Kentucky the portfolio is otherwise diversified by the location of the Properties around the United States so that if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the remaining Properties in the portfolio may be experiencing upswings. However the geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general downturn in the national economy. The Partnership had originally invested the proceeds of its Offering in 14 Local Partnerships, all of which had their Tax Credits fully in place during the Credit Periods. As of December 31, 2012, all the Local Partnerships have completed their Credit Periods. However, each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax Credit requirements until the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits. The Compliance Periods will continue through December 31, 2017 with respect to the Properties depending upon when the Compliance Period commenced.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Partnership has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of certain accounting estimates considered critical by the Partnership. The summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of the Partnership’s accounting policies included in Item 8, Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014.

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of a specific asset, said asset is adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. These assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not depreciated. Property and equipment that are held for sale are included in discontinued operations. There are no assets classified as property and equipment-held for sale as of December 31, 2014.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Partnership has not recorded any loss on impairment of assets. Through December 31, 2014, the Partnership has recorded approximately $35,686,000 as an aggregate loss on impairment of property.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

Results of Operations

 

The Partnership’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, consisted primarily of the results of the Partnership’s investment in Local Partnerships. The following discussion excludes the Partnership’s results of its discontinued operations, which are not reflected below.

 

Rental income increased approximately 13% and 7% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in occupancy at three Local Partnerships, a decrease in rent concessions at a second Local Partnership and HUD rent increases at a third Local Partnership.

 

Total expenses, excluding general and administrative, repairs and maintenance, depreciation and amortization and unrealized loss on interest rate swap decreased approximately 8% and 4% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense resulted from the pay down of the first mortgage at one Local Partnership.

 

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $69,000 and $73,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits expenses and legal fees at one Local Partnership, increase in turnover expenses and program case management expense at a second Local Partnership, increase in consulting fees at a third Local Partnership and an increase in audit fees, legal expenses and software consulting fees at the Partnership level.

 

General and administrative-related parties’ expenses decreased approximately $9,000 and $35,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to a decrease in partnership management fees and expense reimbursements resulting from the sale of properties at the Partnership level.

 

Repairs and maintenance expense increased approximately $50,000 and $30,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in painting, decorating and snow removal expenses at one Local Partnership, increase in minor repair and maintenance expenses at a second Local Partnership.

 

Depreciation and amortization decreased approximately $26,000 and $81,000 for three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to reduction of the property and equipment as a result of a loss on impairment of assets recorded during the year ended March 31, 2014 at two Local Partnerships.

 

Change in fair value of interest rate swap decreased approximately $3,200 and $6,700 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily due to change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreement at one Local Partnership.
