2.      Investment in Local Partnerships

 

The Partnership initially acquired limited partner equity interests (the “Local Partnership Interests”) in fifty partnerships (the “Local Partnerships”) representing capital contributions in the aggregate amount of $48,460,126, which includes voluntary advances (the “Advances”) made to a certain Local Partnership and all of which has been paid. As of June 29, 2014, the Partnership holds a Local Partnership Interest in nineteen Local Partnerships (see discussion below regarding Queen Lane Investors’ (“Queen Lane”) sale of its underlying Property). The Partnership has no legal obligation to fund any operating deficits of the Local Partnerships. The results of operations of the Local Partnerships are provided by the general partners of the Local Partnerships (the “Local General Partners”) on an unaudited basis during interim periods.

 

In the event the operations of a Local Partnership result in a loss, equity in loss of each investment in Local Partnership allocated to the Partnership is recognized to the extent of the Partnership’s investment balance in each Local Partnership. Equity in loss in excess of the Partnership’s investment balance in a Local Partnership is allocated to other partners’ capital in any such Local Partnership. As a result of cumulative equity losses and distributions, and the sales of certain Local Partnerships’ Properties and/or the Partnership’s Local Partnership Interests, the Partnership’s investment in local partnerships reached a zero balance during the year ended March 30, 2013.

 

During the year ended March 30, 2014, Queen Lane sold its underlying Property to its first mortgage lender under the terms of an Option to Purchase and Right of First Offer; the Partnership received no proceeds in connection with the sale. The Local General Partner of Queen Lane intends to dissolve Queen Lane as soon as possible.

 

During the year ended March 30, 2013, the Partnership sold its Local Partnership Interest in North Hills Farms Limited Partnership (“North Hills Farms”) to affiliates of the Local General Partners of North Hills Farms for $3,586,431 under the terms of a purchase agreement (the “North Hills Farms Purchase Agreement”). The Partnership recognized a gain of $2,185,051 in connection with the sale. During the year ended March 30, 2014, after further resolution of North Hills Farms’ accounts under the terms of the North Hills Farms Purchase Agreement, the sale price was increased by $28,364; such amount is included in due from local partnerships in the accompanying unaudited balance sheet as of March 30, 2014 and was recorded as gain on sale of limited partner interests/local partnership properties for the year then then ended. The adjustment to the sale price was later reduced by $7,544; such amount is reflected as gain (loss) on sale of limited partner interests/local partnership properties in the accompanying unaudited statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 29, 2014.

 

The non-mandatory mortgages of Littleton Avenue Community Village, L.P. (“Littleton”) matured in October 2006 but have not been repaid or formally extended. During the three months ended June 29, 2014, the first mortgage holder issued a declaration of default demanding Littleton’s immediate payment of an amount in excess of 6,500,000$6.5 million. Such amount includes all unpaid principal and accrued interest to date and amounts for real estate tax liens that had been sold to third parties and were redeemed by the lender. Unpaid principal and accrued interest on the second mortgage as of June 2014 is in excess of 3,100,000$3.1 million. Littleton’s Local General Partner reports that a refinancing of the mortgages is unlikely.
