REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

To the Partners of

UMT Holdings, L.P.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UMT Holdings, L.P. (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of UMT Holdings, L.P. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

A.Nature of Business

 

UMT Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively with its 99.9% subsidiary limited partnerships, “UMTH” or the “Partnership”), was formed on March 14, 2003, and began operations July 1, 2003. UMTH is a Texas based real estate finance partnership that generates income by: (1) providing asset management services and facilitating transactions for third parties and affiliates who provide real estate finance services; (2) servicing residential mortgages and managing real estate owned by unrelated third parties and by affiliates; and (3) providing advisory and investment advisory services to affiliates. Prior to 2008 the Company also originated, purchased, and held for investment, for its own account, loans of 12 months or less in term, to persons and entities for the construction, purchase, renovation, and sale of single-family homes. Such interim mortgages were either originated by UMTH or purchased by UMTH from third parties. None of these interim mortgages were insured or guaranteed by a federally owned or guaranteed mortgage agency.

 

UMTH, through one if its subsidiaries, is also the general partner of United Development Funding III, L.P. (“UDF III”), a Delaware limited partnership organized on June 15, 2005. The purpose of UDF III is to originate, acquire, service, and otherwise manage, either alone or in association with others, a portfolio of mortgage loans that are secured by real property or equity interests that hold real property already subject to other mortgages (including mortgage loans that are not first in priority and participation interests in mortgage loans) and to issue or acquire an interest in credit enhancements for the benefit of borrowers, such as guarantees or letters of credit. As the general partner of UDF III, the subsidiary of UMTH is responsible for its overall management, conduct, and operation. The subsidiary of UMTH has authority to act on behalf of UDF III in all matters respecting UDF III, its business, and its property.

 

UMTH, through one of its subsidiaries, owns 100% of the interests in UDF Land GP, LLC (“Land GP”). The subsidiary has a 99.9% limited partnership interest in UDF Land GenPar, L.P. (“GenPar”). Land GP is the general partner of GenPar. GenPar is the general partner of United Development Funding Land Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Land Opp”). The purpose of Land Opp is to invest in finished lots, “paper” lots, land that is to be developed into residential home lots, model and finished new home inventory, and other residential real property and dwellings (collectively, “Properties”), loans secured by Properties, loans provided to entities that have recently filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code or similar state laws, secured by a priority lien on Property over pre-bankruptcy secured creditors, tax liens, and tax loans secured by state, municipal, or other similar assessments levied on Properties, and other real estate opportunities. The Partnership has authority to act on behalf of Land Opp in all matters respecting Land Opp, its business, and its property.

A.Nature of Business – continued

 

UMTH, through one of its subsidiaries, has a 99.9% partnership interest in UMTHLD FLF I, L.P. (“FLF I”), UMTHLD FLF II, L.P. (“FLF II”), as well as United Development Funding X, L.P. (“UDF X”). UMTH, through one of its subsidiaries, also provides asset management services for three investment partnerships: United Development Funding, L.P. (“UDF I”), United Development Funding II, L.P. (“UDF II”), and UDF TX Two, L.P. (“UDF TX Two”). As asset manager, the Partnership identifies single-family residential development loans, credit enhancements, and equity investments, underwrites and negotiates the acquisition and disposal of such loans and investments, and oversees the performance of such loans and investments. In addition, the Partnership has a profits interest in UDF I and UDF II, although the Partnership has no financial obligations related to funding UDF I’s or UDF II’s operations.

 

UMTH, through one if its subsidiaries, is the sole limited partner and owner of 0.001% (noncontrolling interest) of the partnership interests in United Development Funding IV Operating Partnership, L.P. (“UDF IV OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. The remaining 99.999% partnership interest in UDF IV OP is held by United Development Funding IV (“UDF IV”), a Maryland real estate investment trust organized on May 28, 2008. UDF IV also serves as the sole general partner of UDF IV OP. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, UDF IV OP has no assets, liabilities, or equity.

 

UMTH has a 99.99% limited partnership interest in UMTH General Services, L.P. (“General Services”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership’s general partner is also the general partner of General Services. General Services is UDF IV’s advisor and is responsible for managing UDF IV’s affairs on a day-to-day basis. The purpose of UDF IV is to originate, purchase, participate in and hold for investment secured loans made directly by UDF IV or indirectly through its affiliates to persons and entities for the acquisition and development of parcels of real property as single-family residential lots, and the construction of model and new single-family homes, including development of mixed-use master planned residential communities. UDF IV also makes direct investments in land for development into single-family lots, new and model homes, and portfolios of finished lots and homes; provides credit enhancements to real estate developers, home builders, land bankers, and other real estate investors; and purchases participations in, or finances for other real estate investors the purchase of securitized real estate loan pools and discounted cash flows secured by state, county, municipal, or other similar assessments levied on real property. UDF IV also may enter into joint ventures with unaffiliated real estate developers, home builders, land bankers, and other real estate investors, or with other United Development Funding-sponsored programs, to originate or acquire, as the case may be, the same kind of secured loans or real estate investments UDF IV may originate or acquire directly. In its capacity as advisor to UDF IV, General Services, or one of its affiliates, provides asset management services to UDF IV. As asset manager, General Services, or its affiliate, oversees the investing and financing activities of the affiliated programs managed and advised by the advisor and the Partnership as well as provide UDF IV’s board of trustees recommendations regarding investments and finance transactions, management, policies, and guidelines and reviews investment transaction structure and terms, investment underwriting, investment collateral, investment performance, investment risk management, and UDF IV’s capital structure at both the entity and asset level.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

A.Nature of Business – continued

 

General Services also provides advisory services to United Mortgage Trust (“UMT”), a Maryland real estate investment trust. UMT acquires mortgage investments from several sources, including from UMTH affiliates. UMT’s principal investment objectives are to invest in first lien mortgage loans or lines of credit secured by single family homes (either completed homes or homes under construction), single family residential lots (either lots under development or fully developed lots), and single family model homes. General Services is responsible for the day-to-day operations of UMT and for seeking out, underwriting and presenting investments to UMT for consideration and purchase, under the guidance of UMT’s trustees.

 

UMTH’s corporate offices are located in Grapevine, Texas.

 

B.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

A summary of UMTH’s significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accounts are maintained and the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UMT Holdings, L.P. and its subsidiary limited partnerships; UMTH Lending Company, L.P., Prospect Service Corp, General Services, REO Property Company, L.P., UMTH Loan Servicing, L.P. and UMTH Land Development, L.P. UMTH owns 99.9% of the limited partnership interests of each subsidiary and the remaining general partnership interests are owned by UMT Services, Inc., the general partner of the Partnership, and each subsidiary. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

UMT HOLDINGS, L.P.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

UMTH considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, UMTH had no such investments included in cash and cash equivalents.

UMT HOLDINGS, L.P.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

B.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

 

Real Estate Owned and Foreclosed Property

 

When UMTH takes possession of real estate through foreclosure, it attempts to resell the property to recover all amounts due on the defaulted mortgage, including legal fees and repair expenses. Certain mortgages purchased by UMTH have recourse for losses incurred, but losses recovered to date by recourse have not been significant. Upon sale of the property, a gain or loss is recorded.

 

UMTH also acquires finished home lots for the purpose of resale. Such real estate owned is stated at cost, which includes costs associated with the acquisition of the real estate, unless it is determined that the value has been impaired, in which case the real estate owned would be written down to fair value. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the net carrying value of real estate owned and foreclosed property was $0.

 

Long Term Mortgage Notes Receivable

 

Residential mortgage notes receivable are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value.

 

The residential mortgage investments are collateralized by real property owned by the borrowers. The majority of residential mortgages generally have terms of 360 months. UMTH originates substantially all residential mortgages, services the residential mortgages, and intends to hold the residential mortgages for the life of the loan.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is the Partnership’s estimate of incurred losses in its portfolio of notes receivable, notes receivable – related parties, and participation interest – related parties.

 

The Partnership periodically performs a detailed review of its portfolio of notes and other loans to determine if impairment has occurred and to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The Partnership’s review consists of evaluating economic conditions, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the guarantor, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay, or the value of the collateral, and other relevant factors. This review is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as conditions change.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

B.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

 

Allowance for Loan Losses – continued

 

In reviewing the portfolio, the Partnership uses cash flow estimates from the disposition of finished lots, paper lots (residential lots shown on a plat that has been accepted by the city or county, but which are currently undeveloped or under development) and undeveloped land as well as cash flow received from the issuance of bonds from municipal reimbursement and public utility districts. These estimates are based on current market metrics, including, without limitation, the supply of finished lots, paper lots, and undeveloped land, the supply of homes and the rate and price at which land and homes are sold, historic levels and trends, executed contracts, appraisals, and discussions with third party market analysts and participants, including homebuilders. The Partnership bases its valuations on current and historic market trends on the Partnership’s analysis of market events and conditions, including activity within its portfolio, as well as those of third-party services such as Metrostudy and Residential Strategies, Inc. Cash flow forecasts also are based on executed purchase contracts which provide base prices, escalation rates, and absorption rates on an individual project basis. For projects deemed to have an extended time horizon for disposition, the Partnership considers third-party appraisals to provide a valuation in accordance with guidelines set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. In addition to cash flows from the disposition of property, cost analysis is performed based on estimates of development and senior financing expenditures provided by developers and independent professionals on a project-by-project basis. These amounts are reconciled with the Partnership’s best estimates to establish the net realizable value of the portfolio.

 

The Partnership charges additions to the allowance for loan losses to current period earnings through a provision for loan losses. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against, or “charged off”, and decrease the allowance for loan losses, while amounts recovered on previously charged off accounts increase the allowance.

 

Investments in Partnerships

 

UMTH has investments in seven unconsolidated partnerships. These partnerships follow accounting principles that are in all material respects the same as those used by UMTH. UMTH accounts for four of these partnerships on the equity method of accounting and shares in the profits and losses of these partnerships generally in accordance with its ownership interests. UMTH accounts for three of these partnerships on the cost basis of accounting. See Note E - Investments in Partnerships for further discussion.

 

Notes Receivable and Notes Receivable – Related Parties

 

Notes receivable and notes receivable – related parties are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. The notes are collateralized by the development property owned by the borrowers and/or pledges of partnership interests. As of December 31, 2011, the notes receivable and notes receivable – related parties have terms, as amended, ranging from 7 to 68 months and bear interest at rates ranging from 13% to 20%. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the notes were not insured or guaranteed by a federally owned or guaranteed mortgage agency. The Partnership originates and/or acquires notes receivable and intends to hold the notes receivable for the life of the notes.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes. The expected useful lives are dependent on the type of asset being capitalized and range from three to ten years. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are charged or credited in the accompanying statement of operations of the respective period.

 

Profits Interest Receivable – Related Parties

 

Profits interest receivable – related parties represents amounts receivable associated with a subsidiary of UMTH’s 50.0% profits interest in UDF I and UDF II (the “UDF Profits Interest”). Earnings from UDF I and UDF II are first allocated to the limited partners other than the subsidiary of UMTH, until the limited partners have received a 12% per annum cumulative return. Second, if available, an equal amount will be allocated to the subsidiary of UMTH and then any remaining earnings will be allocated proportionately between the subsidiary of UMTH and the other limited partners. The total earnings allocated to the subsidiary of UMTH represent the UDF Profits Interest. Profits interest receivable – related parties represents the UDF Profits Interest not yet distributed to the subsidiary of UMTH.

 

Participation Interest – Related Parties

 

Participation interest – related parties represents participation agreements between UDF X and UMT Home Finance, LP, (“UMTHF”) an affiliated Delaware limited partnership, pursuant to which UDF X purchased loan participation interests in certain of UMTHF’s interim construction loan facilities. The construction loan facilities are collateralized by the development property owned by the borrowers and/or pledges of partnership interests and bear interest at 13%. UDF X received payment in full for its participation interest – related parties in May 2012. See Note N - Related Party Transactions, for additional discussion.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

UMTH generates mortgage and transaction service revenues by (1) originating mortgage loans for itself and for third parties, (2) servicing mortgage loans, (3) managing real estate, and (4) providing management and marketing support services.

 

In accordance with the guidelines of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, UMTH defers recognition of income from nonrefundable processing and origination fees less direct processing and origination costs associated with interim mortgage receivables held by UMTH, and recognizes this income on a straight-line basis over the expected life of such interim mortgage loans of six months. UMTH recognizes revenue from all other transaction processing fees paid with respect to loans originated by UMTH for third parties as services are rendered.

B.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

 

Revenue Recognition – continued

 

Transaction service fees, transaction service fees – related parties, and asset management fees – related parties are recognized as services are completed and collectability is deemed probable.

 

UMTH recognizes revenue from fees for managing real estate as services are rendered. If UMTH sells a property to a third party, UMTH recognizes revenue from the related sales commission upon closing of the transaction.

 

UMTH’s portfolio of notes receivable, notes receivable – related parties, and long term mortgage notes receivable produce monthly interest income. However, UMTH may not receive interest income on a particular loan in a particular month if the borrower fails to make the monthly interest payment. Interest income and interest income - related parties are recognized over the life of the loan or participation and is recorded on the accrual basis. Income recognition is suspended for loans at the date at which, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes more likely than not, but is no longer probable, based upon the Partnership’s review of economic conditions, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the guarantor, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay or the value of the collateral and other relevant factors. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Any payments received on loans classified as non-accrual status are typically applied first to outstanding loan amounts and then to the recovery of lost interest. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership was accruing interest on all notes receivable, notes receivable – related parties, and participation interest – related parties.

 

The Partnership recognizes its portion of the UDF Profits Interest as earned.

 

Real estate owned – property sales income is recognized upon closing and funding of the sale.

 

Earnings from equity method investments in partnerships are recorded as earned and collectability is deemed probable or using the equity method of accounting, depending on the terms of the Partnership.

 

Income Taxes

 

The entities of UMTH are organized as limited partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a result, income or losses are taxable or deductible to the partners rather than at the Partnership level; accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. In accordance with FASB ASC 740, UMTH must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. UMTH believes it has no such uncertain positions.

Income Taxes – continued

 

UMTH files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction. At December 31, 2011, tax returns related to fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2010, remain open to possible examination by the tax authorities. UMTH did not have any tax returns under examination by any tax authorities at December 31, 2011. UMTH did not incur any penalties or interest related to its federal tax returns during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Subsequent to year-end, UMTH had one tax return examined by a tax authority. The examination was completed and no adjustments were made to the filed tax return.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

In accordance with the reporting requirements of FASB ASC 825-10 the fair value of assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this statement is calculated, and this additional information is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The estimated fair value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related parties, profits interest receivable – related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable – related parties approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of notes receivable, notes receivable - related parties, long term mortgage notes receivable, participation interest – related parties, lines-of-credit, notes payable, and notes payable – related parties approximate the carrying amount since they bear market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

An A&D Loan is placed on non-accrual status and income recognition is suspended at the date at which, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes more likely than not, but is no longer probable, based upon our review of economic conditions, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the guarantor, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay, or the value of the collateral and other relevant factors. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Any payments received on loans classified as non-accrual status are typically applied first to outstanding loan amounts and then to the recovery of lost interest. No loans were placed on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

A&D Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impairment is generally evaluated on an individual loan basis for each loan in the portfolio.

 

If an individual A&D Loan is considered impaired, a specific valuation allowance may be allocated, if necessary, so that the individual loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the A&D Loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. A&D Loans that are not individually considered impaired are collectively and qualitatively measured as a portfolio for general valuation allowance. In reviewing its portfolio for this valuation analysis, the UMTH uses cash flow estimates from the disposition of finished lots, paper lots (residential lots shown on a plat that has been accepted by the city or county, but which is currently undeveloped or under development) and undeveloped land as well as cash flow received from the issuance of bonds from municipal reimbursement districts. These estimates are based on current market metrics, including, without limitation, the supply of finished lots, paper lots, and undeveloped land, the supply of homes, and the rate and price at which land and homes are sold, historic levels and trends, executed contracts, appraisals, and discussions with third party market analysts and participants, including homebuilders. UMTH bases its valuations on current and historic market trends on UMTH’s analysis of market events and conditions, including activity within its portfolio, as well as the analysis of third-party services such as Metrostudy and Residential Strategies, Inc. Cash flow forecasts also are based on executed purchase contracts which provide base prices, escalation rates, and absorption rates on an individual project basis. For projects deemed to have an extended time horizon for disposition, UMTH considers third-party appraisals to provide a valuation in accordance with guidelines set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. In addition to cash flows from the disposition of property, cost analysis is performed based on estimates of development and senior financing expenditures provided by developers and independent professionals on a project-by-project basis. These amounts are reconciled with the UMTH’s best estimates to establish the net realizable value of the portfolio.

Interest is recognized on an accrual basis for impaired A&D Loans in which the collectability of the unpaid principal amount is deemed probable. Any payments received on such A&D loans are first applied to outstanding accrued interest receivable and then to outstanding unpaid principal balance. Unpaid principal balance is materially the same as recorded investments. Any payments received on impaired A&D Loans in which the collectability of the unpaid principal amount is less than probable are typically applied to outstanding unpaid principal and then to the recovery of lost interest on a cash basis. Impaired A&D Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

 

As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership had two A&D Loan notes receivable, including one related party note receivable, with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $9.7 million that were considered impaired due to the loans remaining outstanding beyond the contractual term of the loan agreement. Of these two loans, full collectability is considered probable for both loans. Effective March 2012, the related party loan of approximately $8.5 million was extended. See Note O - Subsequent Events for further discussion.

 

As of December 31, 2010, UMTH had two A&D Loan notes receivable, including one related party note receivable, with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $8.1 million that were considered impaired due to the loans remaining outstanding beyond the contractual term of the loan agreement. Of these two loans, full collectability is considered probable for both loans. These two loans were not identified in prior years as impaired loans; however, UMTH has reassessed its classifications for impaired loans to include loans that are deemed impaired solely because they remain outstanding beyond the contractual term; therefore, these two loans are identified as impaired loans herein.

 

The impairment classification did not have any effect on the amount of the allowance for A&D Loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2010, as UMTH’s reclassification regarding impairment did not affect its determination regarding the collectability of such loans. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the average outstanding aggregate unpaid principal balance for impaired A&D Loans was approximately $9.2 million and $7.8 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, UMTH recognized approximately $1.4 million and $1.2 million of interest income, respectively, related to impaired A&D Loans. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, UMTH did not recognize any cash basis interest income or allocate a specific allowance related to impaired A&D Loans.

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the loan portfolio, the UMTH periodically, no less than quarterly, performs a detailed review of its portfolio of notes and other loans. The following is a general description of the credit levels used:

 

Level 1 – Full collectability of A&D Loans in this category is considered probable.

 

Level 2 – Full collectability of A&D Loans in this category is deemed more likely than not, but not probable, based upon UMTH’s review of economic conditions, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the guarantor, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay, or the value of the collateral and other relevant factors. Interest income is suspended on Level 2 A&D Loans.

 

Level 3 – For A&D Loans in this category, it is probable that UMTH will be unable to collect all amounts due.

 

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, UMTH’s A&D Loans were classified as follows:

 

   2011   2010 
         
Level 1  $20,427,000   $18,960,000 
Level 2   -    - 
Level 3   -    - 
           
Total  $20,427,000   $18,960,000 

 

The allowance for loan losses is UMTH’s estimate of incurred losses in its portfolio of notes receivable, notes receivable – related parties and participation interest – related parties. UMTH periodically performs a detailed review of its portfolio of notes and other A&D Loans to determine if impairment has occurred and to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. UMTH charges additions to the allowance for loan losses to current period earnings through a provision for loan losses. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against (and decrease) the allowance for loan losses (“charged off”), while amounts recovered on previously charged off amounts increase the allowance for loan losses.

UMTH has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. In accordance with FASB ASU 2011-02, the restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, UMTH has no A&D Loan modifications that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

 

Long Term Mortgage Notes Receivable

 

UMTH’s long term residential mortgage loan portfolio was comprised of 10 and 11 loans at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These loans are residential mortgage loans secured by a first lien interest in real estate with interest rates between 9% and 12% and are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. The allowance for loan losses recorded for these loans was 50% at December 31, 2011, and approximately 50% at December 31, 2010.

United Development Funding III, L.P.

 

As general partner of UDF III, a subsidiary of UMTH currently receives a promotional interest equal to 10% of cash available for distribution prior to the return to the limited partners of all of their capital contributions plus an 8% annual cumulative (non-compounded) return on their net capital contributions. After the limited partners receive a return of their net capital contributions and an 8% annual cumulative (non-compounded) return on their net capital contributions, the general partner will receive a subordinated promotional interest of 15% of remaining cash available for distribution (including net proceeds from a capital transaction or pro rata portion thereof).

 

As general partner of UDF III, a subsidiary of UMTH also receives a carried interest, which is an equity interest in UDF III to participate in all distributions, other than distributions attributable to a subsidiary of UMTH’s promotional interest, of cash available for distribution and net proceeds from a capital transaction.

 

If, on behalf of UDF III, a subsidiary of UMTH enters into commitments to investments in mortgages in excess of 82% of the gross offering proceeds of UDF III (the “Gross Offering Proceeds”), a subsidiary of UMTH will be entitled to a carried interest equal to (a) 1% for the first 2.5% of commitments to investments in mortgages above 82% of the Gross Offering Proceeds (or if commitments to investments in mortgages are above 82% but no more than 84.5%, 1% multiplied by the fractional amount of commitments to investments in mortgages above 82%), (b) 1% for the next 2% of additional commitments to investments in mortgages above 84.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds (or if commitments to investments in mortgages are above 84.5% but no more than 86.5%, 1% multiplied by the fractional amount of commitments to investments in mortgages above 84.5%), and (c) 1% for each additional 1% of additional commitments to investments in mortgages above 86.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds (or a fractional percentage equal to the fractional amount of any 1% of additional commitments to investments in mortgages).

 

Cash available for distribution represents the funds received by UDF III from operations (other than proceeds from a capital transaction or a liquidating distribution), less cash used by UDF III to pay its expenses, debt payments, and amounts set aside to create a retained earnings reserve (currently at 9.5% of the net income of UDF III).

 

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately $4.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, are included in earnings from investments in partnerships associated with UDF III promotional and carried interest.

 

Buffington Homebuilding Group, Ltd.

 

In September 2007 a subsidiary of UMTH invested in Buffington Capital Homes, Ltd. (“BCH”) as a Class A limited partner.

J.   Partners’ Deficit

 

UMTH and its general partner have created two classes of limited partnership interests to be classified as “Units” and designated as “Class C Units” and “Class D Units”. All Units represent a fractional part of the limited partnership interests of UMTH and are subject to the rights, preferences, powers, and duties for each class of Units as defined by the partnership agreement. All Units are subject to a vesting schedule and potential forfeiture prior to vesting. In the event a limited partner ceases providing services to UMTH or one of its affiliates, the limited partner becomes a terminated partner. On the termination date, the terminated Units, whether vested or unvested, shall cease to have any voting rights. The terminated partner’s unvested Units will be forfeited back to UMTH and subsequently cancelled. The terminated partner’s Units that are vested are deemed sold to UMTH for a value determined as of the termination date and the units shall be cancelled by UMTH. Class D Units vest as follows: 50% vest at the end of the second year after the initial Units are issued to a limited partner and the remainder at the end of the third year after the Units are issued to a limited partner. Class C Units vested 100% upon issuance.

 

UMTH entered into agreements with various limited partners requiring UMTH to pay special distributions to such limited partners in amounts approximating UMTH’s earnings attributable to the respective businesses of such limited partners. Each of these individuals is considered a Class EIA limited partner and is entitled to receive the specified distributions from the Partnership as described above. The Class EIA limited partners do not hold any units; however, they are paid distributions at the discretion of the general partner, UMT Services, Inc. All Class EIA limited partnership interests will be considered redeemed and cancelled upon the earlier of (i) the first distribution to Class C unit holders or (ii) the filing by UMTH of a certificate of merger with respect to the proposed merger with United Mortgage Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust based in Dallas, Texas, and a related party of UMTH. The proposed merger with United Mortgage Trust was terminated effective June 30, 2006. During 2010 all Class EIA limited partners’ interests were converted to Class C limited partners’ interests.

 

See consolidated statement of changes in partners’ deficit for walk forward of Units and balances outstanding. The following table summarizes the number of Units that are vested as of December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009:

2010   35,419    51,318 
2011   35,239    64,383 

 

K.   Allocation of Net Income (Loss)

 

During 2011 and 2010 net losses of UMTH were allocated first to partners holdings Class D units, pro rata, provided that net losses were not to be allocated to the extent that such allocation would cause any partner to have a deficit balance in his or her adjusted capital account. After this allocation, net losses were allocated 100% to the general partner.

K.   Allocation of Net Income (Loss) – continued

 

During 2011 and 2010 on a calendar quarterly basis, net income of UMTH was first allocated to Class C limited partners in the amount of cash distributed to them, as determined by the general partner. Second, 100% of net income was allocated to the general partner in an amount equal to the aggregate net losses allocated previously to the general partner, if any. Third, net income was allocated to the limited partners in an amount equal to the aggregate net losses allocated to such limited partners, if any. Fourth, net income was allocated to the general partner until there has been allocated to the general partner an amount equal to one tenth of one percent of available cash. Fifth, net income was allocated to the unit holders of Class C units, pro rata, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) fifty percent of available cash or (ii) $1,250,000. Finally, the remaining amount of available cash, if any, is allocated to the unit holders of Class D units, pro rata.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

UMTH from time to time enters into guarantees of debtor’s borrowings, and accounts for such guarantees in accordance with FASB ASC 460-10. Guarantees generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the debtor.

 

A guarantee involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. UMTH’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the guarantee.

 

In January 2008 a subsidiary of UMTH entered into a guaranty agreement by which this subsidiary guaranteed the repayment of up to $300,000 owed to American Bank of Commerce with respect to a certain promissory note between Grapevine Partners, a Texas general partnership, and American Bank of Commerce. Grapevine Partners is comprised of officers, employees, and affiliates of UMTH.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, UMTH also had an outstanding guaranty for four notes payable issued by related parties of UMTH to UMT, a related party. This guaranty is limited to a maximum of $10.6 million due under all of these notes and is unsecured. The total credit risk to UMTH under this guaranty as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, is the guaranty limit of approximately $10.6 million, and as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately $18.4 million and $18.3 million, respectively, had been borrowed by the debtors. The related party debt is collateralized by a pledge of certain partners’ distribution rights inherent to UMTH C and D units. During 2011and 2010, C and D unit distributions associated with the pledged units were approximately $0 and $253,000, respectively.

 

To date, UMTH has not incurred losses from guarantees entered into, and the debt that is guaranteed is also collateralized.

Participation interest – related parties

 

In March 2009 a subsidiary of UMTH entered into two Participation Agreements (collectively, the “UMT Participation Agreements”) with United Mortgage Trust (“UMT”), a Maryland real estate investment trust, pursuant to which the subsidiary of UMTH purchased a participation interest in UMT’s interim construction loan facilities (the “Construction Loans”) to BTC and BCH (collectively, “Buffington”). In August 2009 UMT assigned the Construction Loans to UMTHF. UMT owns 100% of the interests in UMTHF. The Construction Loans provided Buffington, which is a homebuilding group, with residential interim construction financing for the construction of new homes in the greater Austin, Texas area.

 

The Construction Loans are evidenced by promissory notes, are secured by first lien deeds of trust on the homes financed under the Construction Loans, and are guaranteed by the parent company and the principals of Buffington. Pursuant to the UMT Participation Agreements, a subsidiary of UMTH participated in the Construction Loans by funding UMTHF’s lending obligations under the Construction Loans up to $8.5 million. The UMT Participation Agreements give the subsidiary of UMTH the right to receive payment from UMTHF of principal and accrued interest relating to amounts funded by the subsidiary of UMTH under the UMT Participation Agreements. The interest rate under the Construction Loans is the lower of 13% or the highest rate allowed by law. The subsidiary of UMTH’s participation interest is repaid as Buffington repays the Construction Loans. For each loan originated to it, Buffington is required to pay interest monthly and to repay the principal advanced to it upon the sale of the home or in any event no later than 12 months following the origination of the loan. In October 2011 the UMT Participation Agreements were amended and the maturity date was extended to October 28, 2012. In May 2012 the subsidiary of UMTH received payment in full, including interest earned, for its participation in the Construction Loans.

 

UMTHF managed and controlled the Construction Loans while the subsidiary of UMTH owned a participation interest in the Construction Loans. Pursuant to the UMT Participation Agreements, the subsidiary of UMTH appointed UMTHF as its agent to act on its behalf with respect to all aspects of the Construction Loans, including the control and management of the Construction Loans and the enforcement of rights and remedies available to the lender under the Construction Loans.
