GATEWAY TAX CREDIT FUND II LTD.
(A Florida Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Gateway Tax Credit Fund II Ltd. (“Gateway”), a Florida Limited Partnership, was formed September 12, 1989, under the laws of Florida.  Operations commenced on September 14, 1990 for Series 2, September 28, 1990 for Series 3, February 1, 1991 for Series 4, July 1, 1991 for Series 5 and January 1, 1992 for Series 6.  Each Series has invested, as a limited partner, in other limited partnerships (“Project Partnerships”), each of which owns and operates one or more apartment complexes eligible for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (“Tax Credits”), provided for in Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  Gateway will terminate on December 31, 2040 or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement (the “Agreement”).  As of December 31, 2009, Gateway had received capital contributions of $195,410 from the General Partners and $37,228,000 from Beneficial Assignee Certificate investors (the “Assignees”).  The fiscal year of Gateway for reporting purposes ends on March 31.

Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, Gateway filed a Form S-11 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective September 12, 1989, which covered the offering of Gateway’s Beneficial Assignee Certificates (“BACs”) representing assignments of units for the beneficial interest of the limited partnership interest of the Assignor Limited Partner.  The Assignor Limited Partner was formed for the purpose of serving in that capacity for Gateway and will not engage in any other business.

Raymond James Partners, Inc. and Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc., wholly owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc., are the General Partner and Managing General Partner, respectively and collectively the General Partners.

Gateway offered BACs in five series.  BACs in the amounts of $6,136,000, $5,456,000, $6,915,000, $8,616,000 and $10,105,000 for Series 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively, had been issued as of December 31, 2009.  Each Series is treated as though it were a separate partnership, investing in a separate and distinct pool of Project Partnerships.  Net proceeds from each Series are used to acquire Project Partnerships which are specifically allocated to such Series.  Income or loss and all tax items from the Project Partnerships acquired by each Series are specifically allocated among the Assignees of such Series.

Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations and Tax Credits are allocated 99% to the Assignees and 1% to the General Partners.  Profit or loss and cash distributions from sales of properties are allocated as specified in the Agreement.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

Gateway utilizes the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when obligations are incurred.

Gateway accounts for its investments as the limited partner in Project Partnerships (“Investments in Project Partnerships”) using the equity method of accounting, because management believes that Gateway does not have a majority control of the major operating and financial policies of the Project Partnerships in which it invests, and reports the equity in loss of the Project Partnerships on a 3-month lag in the Statements of Operations.  Under the equity method, the Investments in Project Partnerships initially include:

1)  
Gateway’s capital contribution,
2)  
Acquisition fees paid to the General Partner for services rendered in selecting properties for acquisition,
3)  
Acquisition expenses including legal fees, travel and other miscellaneous costs relating to acquiring properties.



 
15

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Quarterly the Investments in Project Partnerships are increased or decreased as follows:

1)  
Increased for equity in income or decreased for equity in loss of the Project Partnerships,
2)  
Decreased for cash distributions received from the Project Partnerships,
3)  
Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees and expenses,
4)  
Decreased, where appropriate, for impairment.

Pursuant to the limited partnership agreements for the Project Partnerships, cash losses generated by the Project Partnerships are allocated to the general partners of those partnerships.  In subsequent years, cash profits, if any, are first allocated to the general partners to the extent of the allocation of prior cash losses.

Since Gateway invests as a limited partner, and therefore is not obligated to fund losses or make additional capital contributions, it does not recognize losses from individual Project Partnerships to the extent that these losses would reduce the investment in those Project Partnerships below zero.  The suspended losses will be used to offset future income from the individual Project Partnerships.  Any cash distributions received from Project Partnerships which have a zero investment balance are accounted for as distribution income in the period the cash distribution is received by Gateway.

Gateway reviews its investments in Project Partnerships to determine if there has been any permanent impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable.  If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the investment, Gateway recognizes an impairment loss.  As part of its analysis, Gateway has historically considered the residual value of the Project Partnerships as one key component of its estimate of future cash flows.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, as a direct result of the deterioration that occurred within the United States financial markets and more specifically, its negative impact on the Tax Credit market, Gateway concluded that any residual value of the Project Partnerships given the Tax Credit market conditions could not be practicably determined.  As a result, Gateway eliminated estimates of residual value of the Project Partnerships from the recoverability portion of its impairment analysis.  Accordingly, in the quarter ended December 31, 2008, impairment expense of $22,839 was recognized in the Statement of Operations (all in Series 6).  Gateway is continuing to execute its process of disposition of its interest in Project Partnerships that have reached the end of their Tax Credit compliance period, refer to Note 5 – Summary of Disposition Activities for the most recent update of those on-going activities.  No impairment expense was recognized during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Gateway’s policy is to include short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less in cash and cash equivalents.  Short-term investments are comprised of money market mutual funds.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject Gateway to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash investments in a money market mutual fund whose investment advisor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  These estimates are based on management’s knowledge and experience.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment in Securities

Gateway is required under GAAP to categorize its debt securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading securities, dependent upon Gateway’s intent in holding the securities.  Gateway’s intent is to hold all of its debt securities (U.S. Treasury Notes) until maturity and to use these assets to fund Gateway’s ongoing operations.  The U.S. Treasury Notes are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value, and are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.  Such adjustments are included in Interest Income.  There are no investments in securities as of December 31, 2009.



 
16

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Income Taxes
 
No provision for income taxes has been made in these financial statements, as income taxes are a liability of the partners rather than of Gateway.  Gateway files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.  Gateway is no longer subject to U.S. federal examination by tax authorities for years prior to calendar year 2006.  The income tax returns subject to state examination by tax authorities are generally consistent with the federal period.
 
State Tax Withholding

Certain state tax jurisdictions impose a capital gains tax on the taxable gains associated with the sale of investments in partnerships.  As General Partner of Gateway, it is Gateway’s obligation to calculate and withhold the applicable state taxes that are payable by the Partners of Gateway when Project Partnerships are sold or otherwise disposed by Gateway.  In most cases, the state taxes are due regardless if proceeds are received from the sale of Project Partnerships.  Therefore, Gateway has estimated the withholding taxes payable and the amount is included in Distribution Payable on the Balance Sheet.
 
Variable Interest Entities

Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics, (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.  GAAP requires a VIE to be consolidated in the financial statements of the entity that is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  Gateway’s determination of the primary beneficiary of each VIE requires judgment and is based on an analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances including: (1) the existence of a principal-agency relationship between the limited partner and the general partner, (2) the relationship and significance of the activities of the VIE to each partner, (3) each partner’s exposure to the expected losses of the VIE, and (4) the design of the VIE.  In the design of Project Partnership VIEs, the overriding concept centers around the premise that the limited partner invests solely for tax attributes associated with the property held by the VIE, while the general partner of the project partnership is responsible for overseeing its operations.  Based upon its analysis of all the relevant facts and considerations, Gateway has concluded that in those instances where the Project Partnership interests are determined to be VIEs, the general partner of the Project Partnership is more closely associated with the Project Partnership than the limited partner (Gateway) and therefore, Gateway is not the primary beneficiary.

Gateway holds variable interests in 86 VIEs, which consist of Project Partnerships, of which Gateway is not the primary beneficiary.  Two of Gateway’s Project Partnership investments have been determined not to be VIEs.  Gateway’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with unconsolidated VIEs is limited to Gateway’s capital contributions to those VIEs, which is approximately $15,394,460.  Gateway may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that Gateway voluntarily provides to those Project Partnerships in the future.

Basis of Preparation

The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included with Gateway’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009.  In the opinion of management, these financial statements include adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly summarize Gateway’s financial position and results of operations.  The results of operations for the periods may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
The Payable to General Partners primarily represents the asset management fees and general and administrative expenses owed to the General Partners at the end of the period.  It is unsecured, due on demand and, in accordance with the Agreement, non-interest bearing.  Within the next 12 months, the Managing General Partner does not intend to demand payment on the portion of the Asset Management Fees payable classified as long-term on the Balance Sheet.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the General Partners and affiliates are entitled to compensation and reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred by Gateway as follows:

Asset Management Fee - The Managing General Partner is entitled to receive an annual asset management fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate cost of Gateway’s interest in the projects owned by the Project Partnerships.  The asset management fee will be paid only after all other expenses of Gateway have been paid.  These fees are included in the Statements of Operations.

Gateway recognized an additional gain on sale of Project Partnerships in the amount of $5,300 resulting from the true-up of certain legal and other sale transaction closing expenses arising from Project Partnership sale transactions which closed in the prior fiscal year.  This amount, less the applicable state tax withholding, will be distributed to the Series 2 Assignees in a subsequent quarter.

Re-syndications of Project Partnerships occur when a new buyer acquires the assets of a Project Partnership and renovates the existing affordable housing property and finances the costs of the renovation in part through the acquisition and sale of Tax Credits.  In such re-syndication transactions, the assets of the existing Project Partnership are sold to a new partnership, net sales proceeds from the sale of assets are remitted to either Gateway or the general partner of the Project Partnership as appropriate, and the Project Partnership is liquidated.  In a separate transaction, interests in the new partnership, which has a “fresh” allocation of Tax Credits, are sold to an unrelated third party or fund.  In certain limited circumstances, the Managing General Partner of Gateway is involved in “re-syndicating” the sale of interests in the new partnership to an unrelated third party or fund.  In those instances, the Managing General Partner has adopted the policy that it will contribute any net profits it received from the re-syndication transaction to Gateway.  The Lakeshore Apartments property was the subject of a fiscal year 2008 re-syndication transaction in which the Managing General Partner was involved in the re-syndication, and $3,357 of re-syndication profit has been contributed during fiscal year 2009 to Gateway by the Managing General Partner (in October 2008).  This amount is included as a component of the Distribution Payable and Distributions to Assignees on the Balance Sheet and Statement of Partners’ Equity (Deficit), respectively, as of March 31, 2009.  The distribution, less the applicable state tax withholding, to the Series 2 Assignees will occur in a subsequent quarter.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Gateway.  The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes to the financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.

The Managing General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance.  For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) mandates or suggests additional compliance measures with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas, and certain provisions of the Act have been implemented by Gateway and other provisions will be implemented by Gateway in subsequent years.

Gateway – All Series – The following discusses the overall results of operations, liquidity and capital resources for Gateway as a whole.  A summary of the activity within each specific Series of Gateway then follows.

Results of Operations

As more fully detailed in the Exit Strategy discussion included within this MD&A, all of the Project Partnerships have delivered their Tax Credits to Gateway, the Tax Credit compliance period has expired, and Gateway is in the process of selling or disposing of all of its remaining Project Partnership interests.  Net proceeds received from the sales are being distributed to the Assignees.  Once all Project Partnership interests have been sold or otherwise disposed of, Gateway will be liquidated.  The target date for liquidation of Gateway is on or before December 31, 2011, although there is no certainty that all the activities necessary to occur as of such date will have transpired.

Distribution income arises from any cash distributions received from Project Partnerships which have a zero investment balance for financial reporting purposes.  Distribution income increased $17,526 from $61,539 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 to $79,065 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009.  The increase in distribution income results primarily from an increase of gross distributions received from Project Partnerships.  The gross distributions received from Project Partnerships increased from $64,012 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 to $79,065 for the same period ended in 2009.

Total expenses of Gateway were $482,961 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $107,333 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2008 total expenses of $590,294.  The decrease results primarily from decreases in 1) asset management fees and general and administrative expenses – General Partner due to sales of Project Partnerships (Gateway ceases accruing Asset Management Fees and General and Administrative expenses – General Partner for sold Project Partnerships) and 2) impairment losses on Project Partnership investments.  Impairment expense is a non-cash charge that reflects a potential decline in the carrying value of Gateway’s interest in Project Partnerships.  Historically, Gateway has considered the residual value of the Project Partnerships as one key component of its estimate of the present value of Gateway’s interest in any of its Project Partnerships.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, as a direct result of the deterioration that occurred within the United States financial markets and more specifically, its negative impact on the Tax Credit market, Gateway concluded that any residual value of the Project Partnerships given the Tax Credit market conditions could not be practicably determined.  As a result, in the quarter ended December 31, 2008 Gateway eliminated estimates of residual value of the Project Partnerships from the recoverability portion of its impairment analysis.  Resultantly, non-cash impairment expense for that quarter was incurred.  No impairment expense was recognized during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009.

Equity in Loss of Project Partnerships decreased to $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 from $23,330 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as a result of the suspension of all losses so that the Investments in Project Partnerships does not fall below zero.  Because Gateway utilizes the equity method of accounting to account for its investment in Project Partnerships, income or losses from Project Partnerships with a zero investment balance are not recognized in the Statement of Operations.  Gateway’s share of the net loss from Project Partnerships for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (Project Partnership financial information is on a three-month lag), was $1,620,216 and $1,970,862, respectively.  Gateway suspended net losses from Project Partnerships for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 totaling $1,620,216 and $1,947,532, respectively.

Gain on Sale of Project Partnerships increased $288,514 from $189,933 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 to $478,447 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009.  As more fully discussed within this MD&A, eleven Project Partnership investments were sold during the first three quarters of fiscal year 2010 as compared to the first three quarters of fiscal year 2009 when twelve Project Partnership investments were sold.  The amount of the gain or loss from the sale of a Project Partnership and the period in which it is recognized on the Statement of Operations is dependent upon the specifics related to each sale or disposition transaction.  Refer to the discussion of each Project Partnership sold in the Exit Strategy section within this MD&A.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued):

Interest income decreased $23,085 from $23,158 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 to $73 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009.  The change in interest income results primarily from the fluctuation of interest rates on short-term investments over this period along with the maturation of investments in securities over the same period.  Investments in Securities decreased to $0 as of December 31, 2009 from $746,665 as of December 31, 2008.  Interest income is generally one source of funds available to pay administrative costs of Gateway.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The capital resources of each Series are used to pay General and Administrative operating costs including personnel, supplies, data processing, travel, legal, and accounting and audit fees associated with the administration and monitoring of Gateway and the Project Partnerships.  The capital resources are also used to pay the Asset Management Fee due the Managing General Partner, but only to the extent that Gateway’s remaining resources are sufficient to fund Gateway’s ongoing needs.  (Payment of any Asset Management Fee unpaid at the time Gateway sells its interests in the Project Partnerships is subordinated to the investors’ return of their original capital contribution).
 
The sources of funds to pay the expenses of Gateway are cash and cash equivalents and the interest earnings thereon, and cash distributed to the Series from the operations of the Project Partnerships.  Due to the rent limitations applicable to the Project Partnerships as a result of their qualifying for Tax Credits, Gateway does not expect there to be a significant increase in future rental income of the Project Partnerships.  Therefore, cash distributions from operations of the Project Partnerships are not expected to increase.  However, operational factors of the Project Partnerships and the timing of distributions contribute to fluctuations of distributions from period to period and year to year.  Management believes these sources of funds are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management Fee.
 
In total, Gateway reported net income of $74,624 from operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2009.  Cash and Cash Equivalents decreased by $43,639.  Of the Cash and Cash Equivalents on hand as of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, $503,013 and $346,283 are payable to certain Series’ Assignees arising from the sale of Project Partnerships.  Distributions either have occurred or will occur to those certain Assignees in a subsequent quarter, less the applicable state tax withholding.  After consideration of these sales proceeds, Cash and Cash Equivalents decreased $200,369 as compared to the prior year-end balances.

The financial performance of each respective Series is summarized as follows:

Series 2 - Gateway closed this series on September 14, 1990 after receiving $6,136,000 from 375 Assignees.  Equity in Loss of Project Partnerships for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0 as a result of the suspension of all losses in this Series so that the Investments in Project Partnerships does not fall below zero.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, Gateway’s share of the Project Partnerships’ net loss was $273,110 and $338,292 generated from Rental and other income of $1,166,771 and $1,678,125, respectively.  In general, it is common in the real estate industry to experience losses for financial and tax reporting purposes because of the non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization.  (These Project Partnerships reported depreciation and amortization of $290,828 and $453,006 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.)  Overall, management believes the Project Partnerships are operating as expected and have generated Tax Credits which met projections.

At December 31, 2009, the Series had $460,243 of short-term investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents).  Management believes the sources of funds are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management Fee.

Recent Accounting Changes

Certain accounting guidance within FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) was issued in July 2006 which interpreted previous guidance.  The “Accounting for Income Tax Changes” required all taxpayers to analyze all material positions they have taken or plan to take in all tax returns that have been filed or should have been filed with all taxing authorities for all years still subject to challenge by those taxing authorities.  If the position taken is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority on its technical merits and if there is more than a 50% likelihood that the position would be sustained if challenged and considered by the highest court in the relevant jurisdiction, the tax consequences of that position should be reflected in the taxpayer’s GAAP financial statements.  Earlier proposed interpretations within ASC 740 had recommended a “probable” standard for recognition of tax consequences rather than the “more-likely-than-not” standard finally adopted.
 
Because Gateway is a pass-through entity and is not required to pay income taxes, the changes to ASC 740 do not currently have any impact on its financial statements.  On December 30, 2008, the FASB issued further guidance regarding ASC 740 which deferred the effective date of the Accounting for Income Tax Changes for nonpublic enterprises included within the scope of the revised guidance to the annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The deferred effective date was intended to give the Board additional time to develop guidance on the application of the Accounting for Income Tax Changes by pass-through entities and not-for-profit organizations.  FASB also issued further guidance in September 2009 about the implementation on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.  Gateway may modify its disclosures if the FASB’s guidance regarding application of the Accounting for Income Tax Changes to pass-through entities changes.

In November 2008, the FASB updated FASB ASC 323 – Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures by clarifying the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments.  This update was effective in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The changes in this standard did not have a material impact on Gateway’s financial position, operations or cash flow.

In December 2008, the FASB updated FASB ASC 860 – Transfers and Servicing to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transferors’ continuing involvements with transferred financial assets.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Gateway’s financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities.  Upon adoption of the standards, Gateway will have reconsidered its previous ASC 810-10 conclusions regarding its investments in Project Partnerships.  These amendments are not effective for Gateway until its fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and early adoption is prohibited.  Gateway has not yet determined the impact, if any, the amendments will have on its financial statements for the year-ended March 31, 2011.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued):
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued, and Gateway has adopted, FASB ASC 855 – Subsequent Events.  The objective of this statement is to establish general standards of accounting for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  See Note 6 for information resulting from the implementation of this new standard.
 
Exit Strategy

The IRS compliance period for low-income housing Tax Credit properties is generally 15 years from occupancy following construction or rehabilitation completion.  All of Gateway’s Project Partnerships have reached the end of their Tax Credit compliance period; consequently, Gateway is currently in the process of disposing of all of its investments in Project Partnerships.  Gateway’s objective is to sell Gateway’s interest in such assets for fair market value and ultimately, to liquidate the Project Partnerships.  Generally, the market for Project Partnerships is limited.  Some of the factors which negatively impact the marketability of these projects include (1) requirements by government agencies or the project’s debt holder to continue to maintain the property in the low-income housing program, and (2) the mortgage balance of the property is very near the initial balance as a result of the heavily subsidized debt of the Project Partnerships and lengthy (usually 50 year) amortization periods.
 
As of December 31, 2009, Gateway holds a limited partner interest in 88 Project Partnerships which own and operate government assisted multi-family housing complexes.  Project investments by Series are as follows:  12 Project Partnerships for Series 2, 15 Project Partnerships for Series 3, 9 Project Partnerships for Series 4, 23 Project Partnerships for Series 5, and 29 Project Partnerships for Series 6.  Gateway at one time held investments in 148 Project Partnerships (22 in Series 2, 23 in Series 3, 29 in Series 4, 36 in Series 5, and 38 in Series 6).  As of December 31, 2009, 60 of the Project Partnerships have been sold or otherwise disposed of (10 in Series 2, 8 in Series 3, 20 in Series 4, 13 in Series 5, and 9 in Series 6) and, in accordance with the Gateway partnership agreement, the entire net proceeds received from these sales either have been or will be distributed to the Assignees of the respective Series.  During the quarter-ended December 31, 2009, Gateway sold or otherwise disposed of its interest in 10 Project Partnerships (4 in Series 2, 1 in Series 4, and 5 in Series 5), bringing the total number of Project Partnerships sold during the current fiscal year-to-date to 11 (5 in Series 2, 1 in Series 4, and 5 in Series 5).  A summary of the sale or disposition transactions for the Project Partnerships disposed during the current fiscal year-to-date and the previous fiscal year are summarized below:

The net proceeds per BAC from the sale of Prairie Apartments are a component of the Distribution Payable on the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2009.  These net proceeds, less the applicable state tax withholding, will be distributed to the Series 2 Assignees in a subsequent quarter.

Gateway recognized an additional gain on sale of Project Partnerships in the amount of $5,300 resulting from the true-up of certain legal and other sale transaction closing expenses arising from Project Partnership sale transactions which closed in the prior fiscal year.  This amount, less the applicable state tax withholding, will be distributed to the Series 2 Assignees in a subsequent quarter.

Re-syndications of Project Partnerships occur when a new buyer acquires the assets of a Project Partnership and renovates the existing affordable housing property and finances the costs of the renovation in part through the acquisition and sale of Tax Credits.  In such re-syndication transactions, the assets of the existing Project Partnership are sold to a new partnership, net sales proceeds from the sale of assets are remitted to either Gateway or the general partner of the Project Partnership as appropriate, and the Project Partnership is liquidated.  In a separate transaction, interests in the new partnership, which has a “fresh” allocation of Tax Credits, are sold to an unrelated third party or fund.  In certain limited circumstances, the Managing General Partner of Gateway is involved in “re-syndicating” the sale of interests in the new partnership to an unrelated third party or fund.  In those instances, the Managing General Partner has adopted the policy that it will contribute any net profits it received from the re-syndication transaction to Gateway.  The Lakeshore Apartments property was the subject of a fiscal year 2008 re-syndication transaction in which the Managing General Partner was involved in the re-syndication, and $3,357 of re-syndication profit has been contributed during fiscal year 2009 to Gateway by the Managing General Partner (in October 2008).  This amount is included as a component of the Distribution Payable and Distributions to Assignees on the Balance Sheet and Statement of Partners’ Equity (Deficit), respectively, as of March 31, 2009.  The distribution, less the applicable state tax withholding, to the Series 2 Assignees will occur in a subsequent quarter.

Gateway has consented to the general partner granting an option for either the general partner or a third-party to purchase either the Project Partnership Interest or Assets:

Series 3

Countrywood Apartments, Limited
Wildwood Apartments, Limited

Should each of these options be exercised, the estimated net sales proceeds to Gateway from the sales transactions are estimated to be $205,000, or $37.57 per beneficial assignee certificate potentially available for distribution, less the applicable state tax withholding, to the Series 3 Assignees within the next 12 months.  These options to purchase could expire without being exercised which would result in no sales proceeds and remarketing of the Project Partnerships, the results of which are undeterminable.

Series 5
 
Blackshear Apartments, L.P. Phase II
Woodcrest Associates of South Boston

Should each of these options be exercised, the estimated net sales proceeds to Gateway from the sales transactions are estimated to be $275,000, or $31.92 per beneficial assignee certificate potentially available for distribution, less the applicable state tax withholding, to the Series 5 Assignees within the next 12 months.  These options to purchase could expire without being exercised which would result in no sales proceeds and remarketing of the Project Partnerships, the results of which are undeterminable.

Series 6

Meadowcrest Apartments, Ltd.
Lancaster House
Country Place Apartments – Coal City
 

Should each of these options be exercised, the estimated net sales proceeds to Gateway from the sales transactions are estimated to be $270,000, or $26.72 per beneficial assignee certificate potentially available for distribution, less the applicable state tax withholding, to the Series 6 Assignees within the next 12 months.  These options to purchase could expire without being exercised which would result in no sales proceeds and remarketing of the Project Partnerships, the results of which are undeterminable.

Gateway is exploring options regarding the sale or other disposition of the remaining Project Partnership investments not specifically listed above.  Any net proceeds arising from these particular Project Partnerships are anticipated to be minimal.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls are procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Gateway's reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.  Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as Gateway's are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Managing General Partner’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Gateway has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures applicable to each of the Series as well as to the total partnership pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures applicable to each of the Series as well as to the total partnership are effective.  There were no changes in Gateway’s internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Gateway’s internal control over financial reporting.

With respect to the Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications of the President and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of the Managing General Partner of Gateway (see Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 included herein), such certifications are applicable to each of the Series as well as to the total partnership.
