NOTE 17—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

From April 1, 2020 through May 8, 2020, the Partnership purchased a total of 76 Depository Receipts. The average price was $42.95 per receipt or $1,288.50 per unit. The total cost was $3,265.

The Partnership is required to purchase 0.6 Class B units and 0.03 General Partnership units at a cost of $775 and $41 respectively.

 

Given the economic uncertainty caused by the coronavirus issue, as of April 15, 2020, the Partnership has elected to temporarily suspend the repurchase program.

 

 The current outbreak of the COVID- 19, a novel strain of coronavirus, has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. On March 10,  2020, the governor of Massachusetts, Charlie Baker, declared a state of emergency and ordered all non-essential businesses closed and prohibited the gathering of 10 or more people. The Governor’s order is currently in place until May 18, 2020. Additionally, March saw the closure of local colleges and universities for the balance of the academic year. On-campus  summer programs have been cancelled and discussions are underway as to how and if  colleges and universities are  to re-open in September.

 

The Government’s measures put into place to combat the spread of the virus have caused significant disruptions to life and business operations in Massachusetts, the country and the world. The length and severity of the current recession and the effects on the Partnership’s business are unknown at this time.

 

During the current state of emergency, The Hamilton Company, the Partnership’s property manager, has taken steps to maintain the safety of its employees and tenants. Hamilton is providing essential services to ensure all properties are kept open, fully functioning and safe. Hamilton has implemented a work from home policy with a skeleton staff  present at all site offices to provide for property management, maintenance, leasing and construction services. Leasing is limited to unoccupied units and a web based video technology is being used to remotely show apartments.  Hamilton and the Partnership will continue to adjust their business practices to comply with Federal and State mandates for workplace and rental property operations.
