2.      Investment in Local Partnerships

 

The Partnership initially acquired limited partner equity interests (the “Local Partnership Interests”) in forty-three partnerships (the “Local Partnerships”) representing capital contributions in the aggregate amount of $29,384,966, which includes voluntary advances (the “Advances”) made to a certain Local Partnership and all of which has been paid. As of September 29, 2014, the Partnership holds a Local Partnership Interest in thirteen Local Partnerships (see discussion below regarding the sales of the Properties owned by Sugar Cane Villas, Ltd. (“Sugar Cane Villas”) and Queen Lane Investors (“Queen Lane”) and agreements entered into by the Partnership in connection with the anticipated sale of three Local Partnership Interests). 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 Properties owned by the Local Partnerships 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, 2011.

 

During the six months ended September 29, 2014, the Partnership sold its Local Partnership Interests in Union Valley Associates Limited Partnership and Waynesboro Apartments Limited Partnership to an affiliate of the Local General Partners of such Local Partnerships. Although the Partnership received no proceeds in connection with the sale, the Partnership received $20,000 for distributions that were due to the Partnership under the terms of the partnership agreements of such Local Partnerships. Such amount is included in other income from local partnerships in the accompanying unaudited statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended September 29, 2014. Such Local Partnerships have a common Local General Partner.

 

During the six months ended September 29, 2014, the Property owned by Sugar Cane Villas was sold at a public sale; the Partnership received no proceeds in connection with the sale. The Local General Partner of Sugar Cane Villas reports that the mortgage lender, which also provided project based rental assistance to Sugar Cane Villas under the terms of a contract subject to annual renewals, did not renew the rental assistance upon expiration of the current contract, without which Sugar Cane Villas was unable to make the mandatory debt service payments required under the terms of its mortgages. Such non-renewal is permitted under the terms of the contract. As a result, the lender commenced a foreclosure action and the applicable jurisdiction issued a Final Judgment of Foreclosure.  The Local General Partner of Sugar Cane Villas intends to dissolve Sugar Cane Villas as soon as possible.

 

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 99% Local Partnership Interest in Queen Lane was acquired along with American Tax Credit Properties II L.P. (“ATCP II”), an investment partnership whose general partner is an affiliate of the General Partner, whereby the Partnership owns 48.5%. The Local General Partner of Queen Lane intends to dissolve Queen Lane as soon as possible.

 

During the six months ended September 29, 2014, the Partnership entered into purchase agreements to sell its Local Partnership Interests in Batesville Family, L.P., Lawrence Road Properties, Ltd. and Purvis Heights Properties, L.P. to an affiliate of the Local General Partner of such Local Partnerships for a total of $30,660; such amount will be recorded as gain on sale of limited partner interests/local partnership properties. In addition, the Partnership will receive $7,763 for distributions that are due to the Partnership under the terms of the partnership agreements of such Local Partnerships; such amount will be recorded as other income from local partnerships. The sales are expected to close on or before December 30, 2014, subject to extension under the terms of the respective purchase agreements. Such Local Partnerships have the same Local General Partner. The 99% Local Partnership Interests in such Local Partnerships were acquired along with ATCP II (see discussion above regarding Queen Lane), whereby the Partnership owns 61.75%. ATCP II is selling its interest in such Local Partnerships as part of the same transactions.
