Investments in Partnerships
INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS

a.           Due on investments in partnerships and accrued interest payable

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership held limited partner interests in one and four Local Partnerships which were organized to develop, construct, own, maintain and operate rental apartment properties which provide housing principally to the elderly or to individuals and families of low or moderate income.

Due on investments in partnerships includes $119,544 due to a previous owner related to Meadow Lanes at December 31, 2012 and 2011; accrued interest payable thereon was $33,976 at December 31, 2012 and 2011.  These amounts are schedule to be paid upon the occurrence of certain specific events, as outlined in the note agreement.  At December 31, 2012, the Partnership is in dispute with the previous owner regarding amounts owed under the note agreement.  Management cannot determine the outcome of the dispute at this time.  Accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect any adjustment due to the uncertainty.


b.           Sales and Pending Sale of Local Limited Partnerships

Villa Mirage I and Villa Mirage II

On November 15, 2011, the general partners of Villa Mirage I, a California limited partnership, and Villa Mirage II, a California limited partnership, entered into a contract with an unaffiliated third party to sell their properties for an aggregate sale price of $6,500,000. On September 27, 2012, the sale of the properties closed. The investment balance in the Local Partnerships at the time of sale was $195,662. Of the $1,903,349 of proceeds received as a result of the sale, a disposition fee was paid to the managing general partner in the amount of $325,000. The disposition fee was netted against the related gain on disposition of property.

A gain of $1,382,687 was recorded as a result of the sale of Villa Mirage I and Villa Mirage II.

Monterey/Hillcrest

On September 29, 2011, the general partners of Pebble Valley Housing Partners Limited Partnership, a Wisconsin limited partnership, entered into a contract with an unaffiliated third party to sell its property (Monterey/Hillcrest) and the transaction closed on January 31, 2012.  The sales price was $18,920,000 and proceeds received totaled $3,611,288. The investment balance in the Local Partnership was $0 at December 31, 2011. Net unamortized acquisition costs and property purchase costs of $3,656 were written off and netted against the gain on sale of property. A disposition fee of $946,000 was paid to the managing general partner. The disposition fee was netted against the related gain on disposition of property.

A gain of $2,661,632 was recorded as a result of the sale of Monterey/Hillcrest.

Meadow Lanes

The Partnership has been notified by the general partners of Meadow Lanes–II Associates Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership, a Michigan limited partnership, that an agreement to sell its property to an unaffiliated third party has been reached and that a contract to memorialize the agreement has been signed.  It is expected that the sale will be consummated during the second quarter of 2013. It is anticipated that all sale proceeds will be used to satisfy Local Partnership obligations and any remaining funds available will be distributed to partners in accordance with the Meadow Lanes–II Associates Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership Agreement.  There can be no assurance that the sale transaction contemplated will be consummated upon the terms and conditions anticipated or at all.

On June 18, 2012, the Local Partnership entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell Meadow Lanes Apartments for $2,900,000. The Partnership's investment basis in this Local Partnership (including deferred costs of $2,342) at December 31, 2012 was $3,190,427. The Partnership expects to receive $2,594,816 as a result of the sale. The difference between the investment basis at December 31, 2012 and expected proceeds is $605,612. This amount represents the impairment loss on the statements of operations.

In the event the transaction contemplated above is consummated, the Partnership will be liquidated.

c.           Interests in profits, losses and cash distributions made by Local Partnerships

The Partnership has a 98.00% to 98.99% interest in profits, losses and cash distributions (as restricted by various federal and state housing agencies) (collectively, the “Agencies”) of each Local Partnership.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership is also a general partner of each Local Partnership.  As stipulated by the Local Partnerships’ partnership agreements, the Local Partnerships are required to make annual cash distributions from surplus cash flow, if any.    During 2011, the Partnership received total distributions of $70,929.  Of this amount, $59,394 was applied to a Partnership tax liability, which was paid at the Local Partnership level.  The remaining amount of $11,535 was received in the form of a cash distribution.  During 2012, the Partnership received total distributions of $11,211. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, one and two, respectively, of the Local Partnerships had aggregate surplus cash, as defined by their respective regulatory Agencies, in the amounts of $137,854 and $402,802, respectively, which may be available for distribution in accordance with their respective regulatory Agencies' regulations.

The cash distributions to the Partnership from the operations of the Local Partnerships may be limited by the Agencies’ regulations.  Such regulations limit annual cash distributions to a percentage of the owner's equity investment in a rental property.  Funds in excess of those which may be distributed to owners are generally required to be placed in a residual receipts account held by the governing state or federal agency for the benefit of the property.  In addition, local general partners have the authority to withhold funds if needed for property repairs, improvements or other property needs.

Upon sale or refinancing of a property owned by a Local Partnership, or upon the liquidation of a Local Partnership, the proceeds from such sale, refinancing or liquidation shall be distributed in accordance with the respective provisions of each Local Partnership's partnership agreement.  In accordance with such provisions, the Partnership would receive from such proceeds its respective percentage interest of any remaining proceeds, after payment of (i) all debts and liabilities of the Local Partnership and certain other items, (ii) the Partnership's capital contributions plus certain specified amounts as outlined in each partnership agreement, and (iii) certain special distributions to general partners and related entities of the Local Partnership.

Partnership (Monterey/Hillcrest) for non-resident withholding taxes paid on behalf of the Partnership. On April 14, 2010, the Partnership advanced $13,686 to Monterey/Hillcrest for non-resident withholding taxes paid on behalf of the Partnership.

On February 8, 2012, the Partnership advanced $10,000 to Villa Mirage II Limited Partnership for the issuance of a prepayment letter, as required by CalHFA.
