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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Gateway Tax Credit Fund III Ltd. (“Gateway”), a Florida Limited Partnership, was formed October 17, 1991 under the laws of Florida.  Gateway offered its limited partnership interests in Series (“Series”).  The first Series for Gateway is Series 7.  Operations commenced on July 16, 1992 for Series 7, January 4, 1993 for Series 8, September 30, 1993 for Series 9, January 21, 1994 for Series 10 and April 29, 1994 for Series 11.  Each Series invests, as a limited partner, in other limited partnerships (“Project Partnerships”), each of which owns and operates 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 September 30, 2012, Gateway had received capital contributions of $1,000 from the General Partners and $36,799,000 from the investor Limited Partners.

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 received capital contributions of $10,395,000, $9,980,000, $6,254,000, $5,043,000 and $5,127,000 from the investor Limited Partners in Series 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, respectively.  Each Series is treated as though it were a separate partnership, investing in a separate and distinct pool of Project Partnerships.  Income or loss and all tax items from the Project Partnerships acquired by each Series are specifically allocated among the Limited Partners of such Series.

Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations and Tax Credits from each Series are generally allocated 99% to the Limited Partners in that Series and 1% to the General Partners.  Profit or loss and cash distributions from sales of properties by each Series 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 as earned and expenses are recognized as 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.

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)  
Increased for loans or advances made to the Project Partnerships by Gateway,
5)  
Decreased, where appropriate, for impairment.


 
15

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

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.  In accordance with GAAP, once the net investment in a Project Partnership is reduced to zero, receivables due from the Project Partnership are decreased by Gateway’s share of Project Partnership losses.  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 remaining low-income housing tax credits and other tax benefits is less than the carrying amount of the investment, Gateway recognizes an impairment loss.  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 each of the six month periods ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.

Gateway, as a limited partner in the Project Partnerships, is subject to risks inherent in the ownership of property which are beyond its control, such as fluctuations in occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations in rental schedules, proper maintenance and continued eligibility of Tax Credits.  If the cost of operating a property exceeds the rental income earned thereon, Gateway may deem it in its best interest to voluntarily provide funds in order to protect its investment.  However, Gateway does not guarantee any of the mortgages or other debt of the Project Partnerships.  No such funding to Project Partnerships occurred during each of the six month periods ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.

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.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject Gateway to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash investments in a money market mutual fund.

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.

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 2009.  The income tax returns subject to state examination by tax authorities are generally consistent with the federal period.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Distribution Payable

Distribution payable consists of amounts received as net sales proceeds.  These amounts, net of the applicable state tax withholding, are due and payable to the Assignees and will be distributed at such time that state tax withholding liabilities have been settled.

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 power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly affect its economic performance, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive the expected benefits 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.

Determination of the primary beneficiary of each VIE requires judgment and is based on an analysis of control of the entity and economic factors.  A VIE would be required to be consolidated if it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could possibly be significant to 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 the general partner of the Project Partnership has the power to direct the activities of the Project Partnership that most significantly impact its economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could be significant to the Project Partnership and therefore, Gateway is not the primary beneficiary.

Gateway holds variable interests in 56 VIEs, which consist of Project Partnerships (Refer to Note 1 - Organization for information about Gateway’s involvement in the Project Partnerships).  Gateway is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs.  Since its inception, 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 $13,645,817 at September 30, 2012.  Over the course of the investment and Tax Credit Cycle, this maximum exposure to loss was offset by actual losses experienced by the Project Partnerships recorded by Gateway in its equity accounting.  Accordingly, at the current stage of the investment and Tax Credit Cycle, the carrying value of Gateway’s interest in the VIEs has been reduced to $176,758.  Tabular disclosures within Note 4 - Investments in Project Partnerships detail total capital contributions to VIEs, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities related to Gateway’s VIEs and the aggregate assets, liabilities and Gateway’s exposure to loss from those VIEs.  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.  Gateway does not currently intend to provide future financial support to the Project Partnerships.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

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, 2012.  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.  This payable will be paid in a future period to the extent of any funds available for such payment.

Value Partners, Inc., an affiliate of Gateway, acquired the general partner interest in Logan Heights, one of the Project Partnerships in Series 8, in 2003 and sold its interest to an unaffiliated third party in April 2012.

For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 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 the greater of (i) $2,000 for each limited partnership in which Gateway invests, or (ii) 0.275% of Gateway's gross proceeds from the sale of limited partnership interests.  In either event (i) or (ii), the maximum amount may not exceed 0.2% of the aggregate cost (Gateway's capital contribution plus Gateway's share of the Properties' mortgage) of Gateway's interest in properties 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.

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

Series 8

Subsequent to the September 30, 2012 quarter-end, Gateway sold its partnership interest in AAA Properties of Bentonville L.P.  Gateway received approximately $136,656 in net proceeds (approximately $13.69 per beneficial assignee certificate) which also approximates the gain on sale of the Project Partnership.  The gain will be recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 and available proceeds from this sale transaction, less the applicable state tax withholding, will be distributed to the Series 8 Assignees in a subsequent period at such time that state withholding tax liabilities have been settled.


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 all applicable provisions of the Act have been implemented by Gateway.

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 and the Tax Credit compliance period has expired for all 133 of the Project Partnerships initially held.  Gateway is in the process of selling or disposing of its interests in Project Partnerships.  Net proceeds received from the sales are in turn distributed to the Limited Partners.  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, 2012, although there is no certainty, and it may not even be considered likely at this time, 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 $10,008 from $34,715 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 to $44,723 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to an increase in the number of properties that have reached a zero investment balance.

Total expenses of Gateway were $369,543 for the six months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $143,737 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2011 total expenses of $225,806.  The increase results primarily from increased state capital gains tax expense related to dispositions of Project Partnerships.

Equity in Loss of Project Partnerships decreased from $65,236 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 to $8,941 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 because of a decrease in the losses from Project Partnerships with a positive investment balance.  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.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012 (Project Partnership financial information is on a three-month lag), Gateway’s share of the net loss was $360,299, of which $351,358 was suspended.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Gateway’s share of the net loss was $992,093, of which $926,857 was suspended.

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

Gain on Sale of Project Partnerships increased from $323,384 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 to $834,895 for the six months ended September 30, 2012.  As more fully discussed within this MD&A, thirty-six Project Partnership investments were sold during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 when six 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.

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 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 Limited Partners’ 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 Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, Gateway does not expect there to be a significant increase in future rental income of the Project Partnerships.  Therefore, cash distributions from the operations of the Project Partnerships are not expected to increase on a per project basis.  However, operational factors of the Project Partnerships and the timing of distributions contribute to fluctuations of distributions from 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 $501,308 from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2012.  Cash and Cash Equivalents increased by $726,724 during the six months ended September 30, 2012.  Of the Cash and Cash Equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, $1,981,293 and $1,146,399, respectively, are payable to certain Series’ Limited Partners arising from the sale of Project Partnerships.  Distributions will occur to those certain Limited Partners in a subsequent period, less the applicable state tax withholding.

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

Series 7 - Gateway closed this series on October 16, 1992 after receiving $10,395,000 from 635 Limited Partner investors.  Equity in Loss of Project Partnerships has been $0 for each of the six month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Project Partnerships generated a loss of $129,883 and $219,204 on Rental and other income of $1,022,976 and $1,338,771, respectively.  Gateway’s share of the Project Partnerships’ net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $128,423 and $231,106, all of which were suspended.  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 $237,227 and $311,964 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Overall, management believes the Project Partnerships are operating as expected and have generated Tax Credits which met projections.

At September 30, 2012, the Series had $885,858 of 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.

As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had net income of $16,028 for the six months ended September 30, 2012.  However, after considering the changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $49,356.  Cash provided by investing activities totaled $104,118 consisting of $7,674 in cash distributions from the Project Partnerships and $96,444 in net proceeds from the Sale of Project Partnerships (refer to the Exit Strategy section within this MD&A for more detailed discussion of these sales of Project Partnerships).

Critical Accounting Estimates

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.  No impairment expense was recognized during each of the six month periods ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.

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

Exit Strategy upon Expiration of the Project Partnership Tax Credit Compliance Period

The IRS compliance period for low-income housing Tax Credit properties is generally 15 years from occupancy following construction or rehabilitation completion.  When Project Partnerships reach the end of their Tax Credit compliance period, Gateway initiates the process of disposing of its investment in the Project Partnership; the objective of the process is to sell Gateway’s interest in the properties for fair market value and ultimately, when Gateway’s last Project Partnership investment is sold, liquidate Gateway.  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 September 30, 2012, Gateway holds a limited partner interest in 56 Project Partnerships which own and operate government assisted multi-family housing complexes.  Gateway at one time held investments in 133 Project Partnerships.  As of December 31, 2010, all of the Project Partnerships had reached the end of their Tax Credit compliance period.  As of September 30, 2012, 77 of the Project Partnerships have been sold (24 in Series 7, 30 in Series 8, 14 in Series 9, 5 in Series 10 and 4 in Series 11) 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 Limited Partners of the respective Series.  A summary of the sale transactions for the Project Partnerships disposed during the current fiscal year-to-date and the previous fiscal year are summarized below.

Status Update on Unsold Project Partnerships:

The following summarizes the most recent status of the sale/disposal process for the Project Partnership investments held as of September 30, 2012:

Gateway has approved the sale to the general partner of the Project Partnership or a third party:

Series 8

Logan Heights, Ltd.

This approval is subject to a number of contingencies, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty.  However, utilizing the sale amount as approved by Gateway, should the transaction close without modification, the estimated net proceeds to Gateway from the sale of this Project Partnership is estimated to be a loss of $1,174 or ($0.12) per limited partnership unit.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Not applicable to this report.

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 six months ended September 30, 2012 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.
