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

INTRODUCTION

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

MMA Capital Management, LLC was organized in 1996 as a Delaware limited liability company.  Unless the context otherwise requires, and when used in this Report, the “Company,” “MMA,” “we,” “our” or “us” refers to MMA Capital Management, LLC and its subsidiaries.

The Company partners with institutional capital to create and manage investments in affordable housing and renewable energy.  We invest for our own account and co-invest with our institutional capital partners.  We derive revenue from returns on our investments as well as asset management, performance and other fees from the investments, funds and ventures we manage.

The Company operates through three reportable segments – United States (“U.S.”) Operations, International Operations and Corporate Operations.  Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 14, “Segment Information,” for more information about the revenues, operating profit and loss and total assets for each of our reportable segments.

U.S. Operations

Our U.S. Operations segment consists of three business lines: Leveraged Bonds, Low Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) and Energy Capital.We re-allocated the Other Investments component of “Energy Capital and Other Investments” to our Leveraged Bonds business line in the fourth quarter of 2016. 

Leveraged Bonds

In our Leveraged Bonds business line,we primarily own and manage bonds for our own account that finance affordable housing and infrastructure in the U.S.

The bonds we hold are fixed rate and unrated.  Our bonds are also generally tax-exempt and collateralized by affordable multifamily rental properties.  Substantially all of the rental units in these multifamily properties, which may be subsidized by the government, have tenant income and rent restrictions. 

The Company also has a smallerportfolio of other real estate bonds.  This portfolio includes municipal bonds that finance the development of infrastructure for a mixed-use town center development and are secured by incremental tax revenues generated from the development.  This portfolio also includes a subordinated investment in a collateralized mortgage-backed security that finances multifamily housing property. 

The Company has financed its ownership of a majority of its investments in bonds through total return swap (“TRS”) agreements.  These financing arrangements enable the Company to retain the economic risks and rewards of the fixed rate bonds that are referenced in such agreements and generally require the Company to pay a variable rate of interest that resets on a weekly basis.  The Company has also executed TRS agreements to synthetically acquire the total return of multifamily bonds that it does not own.  The Company has hedgeda portion of the interest rate risk associated with its TRS agreements and other sources of interest rate exposure using various interest rate risk management agreements.  

Table1 provides key metrics related to all bonds in which we have an economic interest, including bonds in which we acquired an economic interest through TRS agreements (such bonds and TRS agreements are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Bond Portfolio”).  See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 5, “Debt,” and Note 6, “Derivative Instruments,” for more information about how TRS and interest rate risk management agreements are reported in the Company’s financial statements.

⁽¹⁾ Includes bond investments that are 30 days or more past due in either principal or interest payments.  

⁽²⁾ Coupon interest on these investments is payable only to the extent sufficient cash flows are available for the debtor to make such payments.  As a result, debt service coverage is not calculated for these investments.

⁽³⁾ Includes nine bonds with a combined UPB and fair value of $71.2 million and $76.3 million, respectively, that were financed with TRS agreements that had a combined notional amount of $72.5 million and that were accounted for as derivatives at September 30, 2017.  The Bond Portfolio also includes seven bonds with a combined UPB and fair value of $84.5 million and $88.6 million, respectively, that were financed with TRS agreements that had a combined notional amount of $84.0 million and where the transfer of underlying bond investments was accounted for as a secured borrowing. 

⁽⁴⁾ Includesthe following bond investments that have been eliminated for financial statement purposes:  (i) an investment in a performing multifamily tax-exempt bond that, at September 30, 2017, had a UPB of $12.2 million and a fair value of $12.9 million and is subject to two TRS agreements with a combined notional amount of $12.4 million; and (ii) two investments in defaulted multifamily tax-exempt bonds that, at September  30, 2017, had a combined UPB of $11.1 million and a combined fair value of $15.7 million of which one is subject to a TRS agreement with a notional amount of $5.0 million.  Underlying real estate with a carrying value of $25.9 million at September  30, 2017 has been recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of the consolidation of the corresponding real estate partnerships.

⁽⁵⁾ Excludes the effects of subordinated cash flow bonds.  If the Company had included the effects of subordinated cash flow bonds in the determination of these amounts, the weighted average coupon for total multifamily tax-exempt bonds and for the total bond portfolio would have been 6.44% and 6.39%, respectively, at September  30, 2017, and the weighted-average pay rate for total multifamily tax-exempt bonds and for the total bond portfolio would have been 5.92% and 5.95%, respectively at September  30, 2017. 

⁽⁶⁾ Reflects cash interest payments collected as a percentage of the average UPB of corresponding bond investments for the preceding 12months at September  30, 2017.

⁽⁷⁾ Calculated on a rolling 12-month basis using property level information as of the prior quarter-end for those bonds with must pay coupons that are collateralized by multifamily properties or incremental tax revenues in the case of infrastructure bonds. 

⁽⁸⁾ As of June  30, 2017, the Bond Portfolio contained 34 bonds, which included 28 multifamily tax-exempt bonds that were collateralized by 22 affordable multifamily rental properties. 

The fair value of the Bond Portfolio as a percentage of its UPB increased from 104.4% at June  30, 2017 to 104.5% at September  30, 2017, while the weighted-average debt service coverage ratio of the Bond Portfolio improved from 1.08x at June  30, 2017 to 1.10x at September 30, 2017.

Other Investments of the Leveraged Bonds Business Line

At September30, 2017, we owned, or were an equity partner in,  two direct investments in real estate consisting of one land parcel and a mixed-use town center development whose incremental tax revenues secure our infrastructure bond investments.  The carrying value of the two direct investments was $21.2 million as of September 30, 2017.

LIHTC

In our LIHTC business line, we primarily own and manage limited partner (“LP”) and general partner (“GP”) investments in affordable housing communities in the U.S.  In this regard, we provide asset management and administrative services to a limited liability company formed in 2015 by the Company and a commercial bank (“TC Fund I”) that acquired limited partnership interests either directly or through fund investments in approximately 650 affordable properties.  Since the formation of TC Fund I, various of the affordable properties in which it had an interest have been sold and, as of December 31, 2016, TC Fund I had investments in approximately 475 properties.  Through this business line, we also have loan receivables from, and an option to purchase, a tax credit asset manager.  At September  30, 2017, the tax credit asset manager had approximately 240 properties under management.  Additionally, we made guarantees through this business line to some of our institutional investors related to the yield on the funds, the receipt of tax credits and the performance of the underlying assets.     

TC Fund  I

As consideration for providing asset management and administrative services to TC Fund I, the Company is due an asset management fee of 2% per annum on the initial capital contribution of $211.4 million by the investor with which the Company partnered to form TC Fund I.  Asset management fees are generally payable to the Company by TC Fund I after payments are made by TC Fund I to: 1) repay any tax credit losses funded by the investor; 2) redeem any investor member voluntary loans; 3) repay any mandatory loans made by the Company to fund investor tax credit losses; 4) pay any expense loans; 5) establish any required reserves; and 6) pay any accrued guarantee fees.  Cash flows to TC Fund I are generated primarily from residual events that generally occur at the end of the tax compliance period and are generally outside of the control of the Company in terms of whether and when they occur.We anticipate that a significant amount of these properties will not generate any material residual value to the Company.Any accrued but unpaid asset management fees bear interest at 6% per annum compounded annually.

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized $4.0 million of asset management fees in its Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of “Asset management fees and reimbursements” and,  at  September  30, 2017, the Company had a$6.3 million asset management fee receivable from TC Fund I. 

In connection with the formation of TC Fund I, the Company also provided a limited guarantee of tax credits that are expected to be generated by TC Fund I’s portfolio of investments.  In consideration for providing this guarantee, the Company was contractually entitled to receive $4.2 million in guarantee fees from TC Fund I and, on December 31, 2015, recognized a guarantee fee receivable for this amount in conjunction with recognizing a liability of equal size related to its obligation to stand ready to perform under this guarantee.  At September  30, 2017, this guarantee fee receivable, inclusive of accrued interest, had been fully collected by  the Company.  At September 30, 2017, the carrying value of our guarantee obligation to TC Fund I was $2.9 million.   

To cover certain costs associated with the organization of TC Fund I, the Company advanceda loan of $5.3 million to TC Fund I upon its formation.  This loan accrues interest at 9.5% per annum, compounds annually and will be repaid by TC Fund I after it pays accrued guarantee and asset management fees.  At September  30, 2017, this loan, which had a carrying value of $0.2 million, was on non-accrual status due to the timing and amount of cash flow projections for the loan and its payment priority in TC Fund I’s waterfall, among other factors.  The non-accrual status of this loan is re-assessed by the Company each reporting period.

Interests in and Obligations to a Tax Credit Asset Manager

Prior to the sale of substantially all of our LIHTC business in 2014, we “syndicated” tax credits by forming LIHTC funds that purchased directly or indirectly the limited partnership interests in multiple Lower Tier Property Partnerships (“LTPPs”). We raised capital from institutional investors, which comprised virtually all of the equity of the LIHTC funds, and the LIHTC funds used this capital, and sometimes interim debt financing, to purchase the limited partner interests in the LTPPs. We were the general partner of, and managed, the LIHTC funds and usually retained an interest of between 0.01% and 1.0% in each of them. The remaining 99.0% to 99.99% interest in each LIHTC fund was typically held by one or more large financial institutions.

5

We provided two general types of guarantees in connection with these transactions: (i) LIHTC fund-level guarantees where the Company, directly and indirectly, guaranteed the investors’ return on investment (“Guaranteed Funds”); and (ii) individual indemnifications to specific investors in non-guaranteed LIHTC funds related to the performance of specific LTPPs.  Because the LTPPs and the LIHTC funds (as well as any intermediate entities) are pass-through entities for federal income tax purposes, the equity owners of the LIHTC funds receive the tax benefit of the credits generated by the LTPPs. In order for the investors in the Guaranteed Funds to benefit from low-income housing tax credits, the LTPPs in which these entities invest must operate affordable housing properties in compliance with a number of requirements in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and the regulations under it.  Failure to comply continuously with these requirements throughout a 15-year recapture period could result in loss of the right to those low-income housing tax credits, including recapture of credits that were previously taken, potentially creating a liability under our guarantee.  The execution of these guarantees caused the Company to consolidate the Guaranteed Funds for financial reporting purposes.

As consideration for providing these guarantees, the Company received upfront guarantee fees of $28.9 million that were initially deferred for financial reporting purposes and that are amortized into earnings over the contractual life of such obligations.  At September 30, 2017, the unamortized balance of the Company’s deferred guarantee fees was $7.7 million.  However, because the Guaranteed Funds have been consolidated by the Company for reporting purposes, certain fees and other payments received from these entities are not classified as revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Operations but rather as income that is allocated to us from CFVs.

When the Company sold its LIHTC business in 2014 to a tax credit asset manager, it agreed to indemnify the tax credit asset manager from investor claims related to those guarantees and, therefore, we continue to be obligated on our guarantees to investors in these funds.Additionally, to facilitate this sale transaction, the Company madea bridge loan and a subordinated loan to the tax credit manager.  As of September 30, 2017, only the subordinated loan, which matures on June 30, 2025, remains outstanding.  This subordinated loan, which had a UPB of $13.0 million as of September 30, 2017, is non-amortizing, bears interest at a base rate of 11% that is paid quarterly and has a contingent interest feature that provides up to an additional 13% of interest annually.  However, because the conveyance of the Company’s LIHTC business could not be treated as a sale for financial reporting purposes, this subordinated loan is not recognized in the Company’s financial statements.  As a result, principal and interest payments that are made to the Company are deferred in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, as a component of “Other Liabilities.”  At September  30, 2017, the Company had recorded $9.5 million of deferred revenue in connection with principal and interest payments received from the tax credit asset manager. 

As consideration for the sale of the Company’s LIHTC business in 2014, the Company also received an option to purchase the tax credit asset manager, which primarily manages LIHTC investments on behalf of third party investors and for its own account.  The purchase price for the option is $12.0 million, subject to various purchase price adjustments which as of September 30, 2017, would increase the purchase price to $13.2 million.We have the ability to exercise the option to purchase the tax credit manager between September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2024, although this may be accelerated for certain events or by mutual agreement among both parties.

Direct Real Estate Investments

At September30, 2017, the Company owned one real estate investment that it acquired during the third quarter of 2017.  This investment, which consists of a 98.99% LP interest in a partnership that owns affordable housing, had a carrying value of $0.8 million at September 30, 2017.

At September 30, 2017, the Company is the general partner in fourLTPPs in which it holds equity interests ranging from0.01% to 1.00%.  Twoof theseinterestsare in partnerships that own affordable multifamily properties that collateralize threeof our bond investments.  The Company consolidatesall fourpartnershipsfor financial reporting purposes and, as a result, recognizes underlying affordable multifamily properties on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Such partnerships had a  net carrying value of $25.1 million at September  30, 2017.Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 13, “Consolidated Funds and Ventures” for more information about the assets and liabilities of these consolidated property partnerships.

Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 7, “Fair Value,” for more information about the fair value measurement of certain of our contractual rights and obligations that we maintain through our LIHTC business line.

Energy Capital

In our Energy Capital business line, our whollyowned subsidiary, MMA Energy Capital, LLC (“MEC”),originateslate-stage development, construction and permanent loansdirectly and through multiple ventures with a leading global private investment firm and an alternative asset manager (hereinafter, the “Solar Ventures”) to enable developers,  design and build contractors and system owners to develop, build and operate renewable energy systems throughout North America.  The Solar Ventures include Renewable Energy Lending, LLC (“REL”); Solar Construction Lending, LLC (“SCL”); Solar Permanent Lending, LLC (“SPL”); and Solar Development Lending, LLC (“SDL”).  MEC provides loan origination, servicing, asset management and other management services to the Solar Ventures entitling it to receive reimbursement for most costs that the Company incurs in executing its responsibilities as administrative member for the Solar Ventures.  In this business line, we also manage one legacy solar asset. 

The Company made an initial $75.0 million non-cash capital contribution into REL in November 2016 that was comprised of solar energy loan investments, including our membership interests in SCL and SPL, in exchange for a membership interest in REL.  As a result of this exchange, our interest in REL provides us with an indirect interest in SCL and SPL.  As stipulated in the governing documents of REL, our partner will make 100% of incremental capital contributions to REL until it has funded 85% of the equity invested,and will receive 100% of the capital distributions from REL until it has received a return of all of its contributed capital,thereby causing our ownership interest in the Solar Ventures to fluctuate.  At September  30, 2017, the Company’s investment in REL had a carrying value of $77.8 million, which represented a 64.5% ownership interest.  We received $2.3 million and $4.2 million of cash distributions from REL during the three months and nine months ended September  30, 2017, respectively.   

Upon the formation of SDL, the Company and its capital partner agreed to contribute 50% of the initial and incremental capital contributions to the partnership.  However, during the third quarter of 2017, the partners agreed that the Company would fund 10% and our capital partner would fund the remaining 90% for a particular portfolio of loans, thereby causing our ownership interest in SDL to decrease in percentage terms.  At September 30, 2017, the Company’s investment in SDL had a carrying value of $11.6 million, representing a 10.6% ownership interest.

At September30, 2017, the UPB of loans that were funded through the Solar Ventures was $286.1 million.  Loans outstanding at September  30, 2017 had a weighted-average tenor and coupon of 9months and 8.3%, respectively.

Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 7, “Fair Value,” for more information about the fair value measurement of certain of our contractual rights and obligations that we maintain through our Energy Capital business line.

International Operations

We manage our International Operations segment through two whollyowned subsidiaries, International Housing Solutions S.à r.l. (“IHS”) and IHS Property Management Proprietary Limited (“IHS PM”).  IHS’s strategy is to raise, invest in and manage funds and ventures that invest in residential real estate.  This includes four private real estate funds and a publicly-traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”).  IHS earns asset management fees from all five investment vehicles and also invests as a limited partner in the four funds it manages and is entitled to special distributions based on the funds’ returns.

IHS currently manages fiveinvestment vehicles:

· South Africa Workforce Housing Fund (“SAWHF”) is a multi-investor fund that began operations in April 2008.  SAWHF is fully invested, having raised $154 million of LP capital from five different investors with an additional participating debt commitment of $80 million from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (“OPIC”).  Since its inception, SAWHF has made 35 investments involving approximately 30,000 units of affordable for-sale and rental housing in South Africa.  SAWHF is currently in the process of exiting its investments as it will mature in March 2018(although the maturity of SAWHF may, subject to the consent of the investors and OPIC, be extended for up to two additional one-year periods).

· International Housing Solutions Residential Partners Partnership (“IHS Residential Partners”), a single-investor fund with a large North American institutional investor targeted at the emerging middle class in South Africa,  began operations in November 2013.  AtSeptember 30, 2017,  IHS and its partner had contributed approximately $68.0 million to the venture, financing investments in seven different projects totaling just under 2,100 rental units and one undeveloped land project.  We do not anticipate this venture making new investments.

· IHS Fund II was formed for the purposes of investing, directly and indirectly, in housing development projects in South Africa and in other selected countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.  IHS Fund II SA and IHS Fund II SSA (collectively “IHS Fund II”)were established as two separate funds for making investments in South Africa and in other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.

7

o IHS Fund II SA (“IHS Fund II SA”) is a multi-investor fund targeting investments in affordable housing, including green housing projects, within South Africa.  IHS Fund II SA began operations in July 2014 and, atSeptember  30, 2017,  had raised approximately $113.4 million of LP capital from 11 investors.  IHS Fund II SA also has an additional maximum participating debt commitment from OPIC for $80 million.  AtSeptember 30, 2017, IHS Fund II SA had closed17 investments that represent a total of 5,550affordable for-sale and rental housing units in South Africa.

o IHS Fund II SSA (“IHS Fund II SSA”) is a multi-investor fund targeting investments in affordable housing, including green housing projects, within Namibia and Botswana.  IHS Fund II SSA began operations in July 2014 and, atSeptember  30, 2017,  had raised approximately $34.7 million of LP capital from two investors.

· Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited (“Transcend”) is a REIT that was listed on the AltX of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in December 2016.  The primary strategy of Transcend is to acquire multifamily residential properties, with a focus on housing opportunities that are affordable, lifestyle enhancing and located in well-situated and high growth urban areas of South Africa.  AtSeptember 30, 2017, Transcend owned a portfolio of 13 properties that have approximately 2,500 units and that were previously part of the SAWHF portfolio.  At September  30, 2017, SAWHF owned 89% of the common shares of Transcend.

In managing these funds, we are paid asset management fees and, in most cases, earn a return on our co-investment and have the opportunity to earn performance fees after various investment hurdles are met.

IHS PM provides property management services to a substantial portion of the properties in our IHS-managed funds.  During the third quarter of 2017, the Company acquired 40% of IHS PM shares outstanding that it did not previously own, giving the Company 100% ownership in IHS PM. 

During the third quarter of 2017, IHS purchased from a third party an 11.85% ownership interest in SAWHF for 153.1 million rand, or approximately $11.8 million.  As part of this transaction, the third party committed to invest the proceeds that it received into IHS Fund II SA, subject to the same conditions that governed the third party’s original investment in SAWHF and that include, but are not limited to, a commitment by IHS to purchase the third party’s ownership interest in IHS Fund II SA ten years from the initial close date of such fund (or, by the expiry of the fund’s original term).Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3, “Investments in Partnerships and Ventures,” for more information about our investments in IHS-managed funds.

Corporate Operations

Our Corporate Operations segment is responsible for accounting, reporting, compliance and financial planning and analysis services.  This segment has interests in cash, certain interest rate derivative instruments, leases, furniture, fixtures, equipment and various prepaid assets.  The primary obligations of this segment include senior and subordinated debt.  Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources, as well as to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note5, “Debt,” for more information about the Company’s debt obligations that were outstanding as of September 30, 2017.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Net Worth

Common shareholders’ equity increased from  $127.5 million at June  30, 2017 to $135.7million at September  30, 2017.  This change was driven by $10.0 million in comprehensive income that was allocable to common shareholders that was partially offset by $1.8 million in other reductions in common shareholders’ equitythat wereprimarily driven by the repurchase of the Company’s common shares. 

Diluted common shareholders’ equity (“Book Value”) per share increased to $23.26 at September  30, 2017, which represents anincrease of  $1.57 per share of Book Value compared to what we reported at June  30, 2017.  This increase was primarily attributable to net income from operations that was anchored by quarter-over-quarter increases in fee and other income, equity in income from unconsolidated funds and ventures and net gains on assets, derivatives and debt extinguishment.

Refer to “Consolidated Balance Sheet Analysis” for more information about changes in common shareholders’ equity and other components of our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Comprehensive Income

We recognized comprehensive income that was allocable to common shareholders of $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2017, which consisted of $9.9 million of net income that was allocable to common shareholders and $0.1 million of other comprehensive income that was allocable to common shareholders.  In comparison, we recognized $11.1 million of comprehensive income that was  allocable to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2016, which consisted of $4.2 million of net income that was allocable to common shareholders and $6.9 million of other comprehensive income that was allocable to common shareholders.

Refer to “Consolidated Results of Operations” for more information about changes in common shareholders’ equity that is attributable to net income allocable to common shareholders.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This section provides an overview of changes in our assets, liabilities and equity and should be read together with our consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

Table 2provides a balance sheet summary for the periods presented.  For presentational purposes, assets, liabilities and equity that were attributable to noncontrolling interest holders of CFVs are presented in Table 2 as separate line items because the Company generally has a minimal ownership interest in these consolidated entities.  For the periods presented, CFVs were comprised of consolidated property partnerships and certain LIHTC funds in which we guaranteed minimum yields on investment to investors and for which we agree to indemnify the purchaser of our GP interest in such funds from investor claims related to those guarantees.  See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements –  Note 13,  “Consolidated Funds and Ventures,” for more information about CFVs.

⁽¹⁾ Assets of CFVs include affordable housing properties that had a carrying value of $25.9 million,  $26.1 million, $25.9 million and $26.2 million at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and that were owned by partnerships that have been consolidated for reporting purposes.  Such properties secured Company bond investments that had a UPB of $23.3 million,  $23.4 million, $23.4 million and $23.5 million at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  However, because the noted partnerships have been consolidated by the Company, such bond investments have been eliminated for reporting purposes in conjunction with corresponding liabilities of CFVs.

10

⁽²⁾ Deferred revenue balances associated with financial guarantees that were made by the Company to 11 Guaranteed Funds have been eliminated for reporting purposes in conjunction with prepaid guarantee assets of CFVs because the Company has consolidated such Guaranteed Funds for reporting purposes.  The unamortized balances of such deferred revenue and prepaid assets, which are equal and offsetting, were$7.7 million, $8.0 million, $8.3 million and $8.6 million at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

⁽³⁾ Diluted common shareholders’ equity measures common shareholders’ equity assuming that all outstanding employee common share options that are dilutive were exercised in full at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  In this case, liabilities recognized by the Company in its Consolidated Balance Sheets that relate to options that are dilutive would be reclassified into common shareholders’ equity upon their assumed exercise.  These liabilities are measured at fair value and, therefore, are sensitive to changes in the market price for the Company’s common shares.  The carrying value of liabilities that relate to all outstanding employee common share options was $9.6 million, $8.7 million, $8.9 million and $7.2 million at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾ The assumed exercise of outstanding employee common share options at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017 were anti-dilutive by $0.11,  $0.07 and$0.18 per share, respectively.  Accordingly, diluted common shares outstanding and diluted common shareholders’ equity per common share at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017 are reported in the table above at the same amounts as common shares outstanding and common shareholders’ equity per common share, respectively.

Other comprehensive income that was allocable to common shareholders for the three months ended September30, 2017, decreased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily as a result ofa reduction in the third quarter of 2017 in the overall change in fair value of our bond investments. 

Other comprehensive income that was allocable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,increased compared to the other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September  30, 2016, primarily as a result of (i) the Company’s purchase of a GP interest in a partnership in the second quarter of 2016,which resulted in a $4.2 million reclassification of unrealized bond holding gains out of AOCI and into our Consolidated Statements of Operations and (ii) the foreclosure and sale in the first quarter of 2016 of a multifamily property that resulted in an $11.4 million reclassification of unrealized bond holding gains out of AOCI and into our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  These changes were partially offset by bond fair value adjustments that were recognized in AOCI during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The amount of other changes in common shareholders’ equity for the three months ended September  30, 2017increased compared to the three months ended September  30, 2016, primarily as a result of the Company’s purchase of noncontrolling interests in IHS PM during the third quarter of 2017.

The amount of other changes in common shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 declined compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarilydue to a decrease in the volume of the Company’scommon shares that were repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents interest income earned on our investment in bonds, loans and other interest-earning assets less our cost of funding associated with short-term borrowings and long-term debt that we use to finance such assets.

Table 7  summarizes net interest income for the periods presented.

Net interest income	$	1,943	$	3,840	$	(1,897)	$	6,696	$	10,021	$	(3,325)

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September  30, 2017declined compared to the three and nine months ended September  30, 2016primarily due to the redemption of various bond investments,the sale of solar loans to our Solar Ventures in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the elimination of certain bond investments for reporting purposes due to the financial statement consolidation of certain property partnerships in 2016.

Fee and Other Income

Fee and Other Income includes our asset management fees and reimbursements as well as other miscellaneous income.

Table 8  summarizes fee and other income for the periods presented. 

Table 8:  Fee and Other Income

	For the three months ended						For the nine months ended
	September 30,						September 30,
(in thousands)	2017		2016		Change		2017		2016		Change
Asset management fees and reimbursements	$	7,750	$	2,383	$	5,367	$	19,020	$	6,536	$	12,484
Other income		805		1,109		(304)		1,358		2,710		(1,352)
Fee and other income	$	8,555	$	3,492	$	5,063	$	20,378	$	9,246	$	11,132

Fee and other income for the three and nine months ended September  30, 2017 increased compared to the three and nine months ended September  30, 2016 primarily due to the recognition of asset management fees for services rendered to TC Fund I,which increased by $4.0 million and $7.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to amounts that we reported during the same periods of 2016.  This increase in Fee and other income was also partly attributable to an increase in catch up asset management fees of $0.5 million and $2.4 million that we recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to amounts that we reported during the same periods of 2016.  We recognized catch up asset management fees because additional investor capital wasclosed into IHS Fund II SAand IHS Fund II SSA during such reporting periods.

Other Interest Expense

Other interest expense represents our cost of funding associated with senior and subordinated debt that does not finance our interest earning assets.

Table 9 summarizes other interest expense for the periods presented.

Other interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 declined compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the discounted purchase of $19.9 million of the Company’s subordinated debt during the second quarter of 2017.  This decrease in our cost of funding was partially offset by an increase in other interest expense that was primarily due to (i) the issuance of debt to finance the purchase of an equity investment in SAWHF and (ii) an increase in reference rates associated with variable rate debt obligations that finance our non-interest earning investments.

Other interest expense for the nine months ended September  30, 2017increased compared to the nine months ended September  30, 2016 primarily as a result of:(i) an increase in the reference rates associated with the variable rate debt obligations;(ii)an increase in the UPB of non-asset related debt due to the consolidation of certain property partnerships, which caused certain bond investments to be eliminated for reporting purposes and corresponding Company debt obligations to be reclassified as non-asset related debt; (iii)  the issuance of debt to refinance certain other debt obligations of the Company;and (iv) the issuance of debt to finance the purchase of an equity investment in SAWHF.  This increase in our cost of fundingwas partially offset by a decrease in other interest expense that was attributable to ourdiscounted purchase of $19.9 million of the Company’s subordinated debt in the second quarter of 2017.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include salaries and benefits, general and administrative expense, professional fees and other miscellaneous expenses.

Table 10 summarizes operating expenses for the periods presented.

Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September  30, 2017 increased compared to the three and nine months ended September  30, 2016 primarily due to: (i) an increase in stock compensation expense that was driven by an increase during such reporting periods in the price of the Company’s common shares; (ii) an increase in salaries and benefits expense due to an increase the number of employees; (iii) an increase in other expenses as a result of foreign currency exchange losses that we recognized as a result of the weakening of the rand against the U.S. dollar; and (iv) an increase in other expenses as a result of a $0.9 million other-than-temporaryimpairment charge that we recognized in the third quarter of 2017 in  connection with one of our investments in infrastructure bonds.

Net Gains (Losses) on Bonds, Derivatives, Real Estate, Loans,Other Assetsand the Extinguishment of Liabilities

Net gains (losses) on bonds, derivatives, real estate, loans, other assetsand extinguishment of liabilities (collectively, “Net Gains (Losses)”)includes unrealized gains or losses on loans, realized gains or losses associated with the sale of bonds and loans and the early redemption of bonds and loans.  Such amounts also include unrealized holding gains or losses associated with our derivative instruments that result from fair value adjustments, as well as include gains (losses) that are realized by the Company in connection with the extinguishment of its recognized debt obligations.

Table 11 summarizes Net Gains (Losses) for the periods presented.

Net Gains (Losses) for the three months ended September  30, 2017 increased compared to the three months ended September  30, 2016 primarily due to (i) a $1.0 million extinguishment gain that we recognized in the third quarter of 2017 in connection with the discounted purchase of $6.5 million of subordinated debt and (ii) a $1.5 million gain that we recognized in the third quarter of 2017 in connection with the sale of a direct real estate investment thatwe acquired in connection with the formation of TC Fund I.   

Net Gains (Losses) for the nine months ended September  30, 2017 declined compared to the nine months ended September  30, 2016 primarily due to (i) a $5.3 million decrease in the fair value of a subordinated loan that the Company made to a residential solar power provider that filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2017 and (ii) a decline in bond redemptions and real estate sales in 2017.  These decreases were partially offset by (i) a $4.8 million extinguishment gain that we recognized during the first nine months of 2017 in connection with the discounted purchase of $26.4 million of subordinated debt and (ii) gains that we recognized primarily from the sale of a  real estate-related investment.

Equity in Income from Unconsolidated Funds and Ventures

Equity in income from unconsolidated funds and ventures includes our portion of the income associated with certain funds and ventures in which we have an equity interest.

Table 12 summarizes equity in income from unconsolidated funds and ventures for the periods presented.

Equity in income from unconsolidated funds and ventures for the three and nine months ended September  30, 2017 increased compared to the three and nine months ended September  30, 2016 primarily due to (i) a non-recurring $3.8 million gain that was recognized in the third quarter of 2017 in connection with the sale of the underlying real estate by the partnership in which the Company held a 33% limited partner interest,(ii) an increase in loan origination and related fees earned by our Solar Ventures and (iii) an increase in equity in income from IHS-managed funds that was primarily attributable to the purchase of an 11.85% limited partner interest in SAWHF from a third party in the third quarter of 2017.

The net loss from CFVs allocable to common shareholders for the three months and nine months ended September  30, 2017 declined compared to the three months and nine months ended September  30, 2016 primarily due to(i) the allocation of interest income that was recognized in connection with bond investments that were eliminated for reporting purposes (the elimination of these investments was prompted as a result of the financial statement consolidation of certain property partnerships during the second and fourth quarters of 2016) and(ii)a  decline in equity losses from the LTPPs. 

The decline in net loss from CFVs allocable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months September 30, 2017 was also partly attributable to a  $0.6 million lower of cost or market adjustment that was recognized in the second quarter of 2016 related to a property held for sale.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity include: (i) cash and cash equivalents; (ii) cash flows from operating activities; and (iii) cash flows from investing activities. 

Summary of Cash Flows

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $32.3 million and $45.5 million, respectively.  We believe that cash generated from operating and investing activities, along with available cash and cash equivalents has been, and will continue to be, sufficient to fund our normal operating needs and meet our obligations as they become due.

During the periods presented in this Report, we consolidated certain funds and ventures for financial reporting purposes and, therefore, cash flow activities for such funds and ventures were reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  In this regard, cash balances of CFVs are classified as “Restricted cash” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets because the Company does not have legal title to such balances.

Table 15 provides a consolidated view of the change in cash and cash equivalents of the Company for the periods presented, though changes in such balances that were attributable to CFVs are separately identified in such disclosure.

Changes in net cash flows that are reported in Tables 16,  17 and 18 areexclusive of changes in restricted cash balances of CFVs.

Operating Activities

Table 16 provides information about net cash flows provided by, or used in, operating activities for the periods presented.  Cash flows from operating activities include, but are not limited to, interest income on our investments and asset management fees.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities	$	5,555	$	7,529	$	(1,974)

Net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The most significant drivers of this net decrease include the following:

· A decrease of $2.9 million in distributions received from investments in partnerships, which was primarily due toa non-recurring $2.6 million distribution that we received in 2016 from the sale of real estate that was owned by a partnership in which the Company held a 50% limited partner interest;

· An increase of $2.5 million in net cash flows used for salaries and benefits, which was primarily due toboth higher employee incentive compensation costs paid in the first quarter of 2017 and an increase in the number of Company employees;

· A decrease of $1.9 million in interest income wereceived, which wasprimarily due to the sale or redemption of certain bond and loan investments; and

· An increase of $1.1 million in net cash flows used for interest payments, which was primarily due to (i) interest payments that we made during the fourth quarter of 2015 on a portion of debt that resulted in no interest payments being made by us in the first quarter of 2016 and (ii) an increase in the reference rates on our variable rate debt obligations.

The net decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities was partially offset by an increase of $7.0 million in asset management fees received during the nine months ended September 31, 2017.  This increase was primarily attributable to feesreceived in connection withasset management services that we provided to TC Fund I, IHS Fund II SA and IHS Fund II SSA.

Net cash flows used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased compared to that used during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily as a result ofa decline in the following during the nine months ended September 30, 2017: (i) loan originations and advances,  which decreased given that the majority of the Company’s loan origination activity was conducted through its Solar Ventures beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016; (ii) the pace of redemption of bonds and loans; (iii) the volume of sales of real estate and other investments; and (iv) incremental increases in the amount of restricted cash.  This net decrease was partially offset by cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2017to (i) purchase an 11.85% limited partner interest in SAWHF from a third party and (ii) make capital contributions of $11.4 million into SDL. 

Financing Activities

Table 18 provides information about net cash flows provided by, or used in, financing activities for the periods presented.

Net cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(16,444)	$	293	$	(16,737)

Net cash flows used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $16.7 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily as a result of an $11.7 million increase in the amount of cash used to repayborrowings.  Specifically, the Company used $21.8 million of cash to executediscounted purchases of its fixed ratesubordinated debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in net cash flows used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was also partially attributable to a decline in borrowing activity, which decreased the amount of proceeds provided by financing activitiesby $8.5 million during such reporting period. 

This increase in net cash flow used in financing activities was partially offset by a decline in the amount of cash used to purchase the Company’s common shares.During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company repurchased 179,156 shares for approximately $3.9 million, while it purchased 471,970 shares for approximately $7.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Capital Resources

Our debt obligations primarily include liabilities that we recognized in connection with the execution of TRS agreements that we use to finance a portion of our investments in bonds, as well as subordinated debentures and other notes payable.  Each of the major types of our debt obligations is further discussed below.

Effective at the filing of this Report and until modified by further action by the Board, the maximum price at which management is authorized to purchase shares is $26.75 per share. 

Dividend Policy

The Board makes determinations regarding dividends based on management’s recommendation, which is based on an evaluation of a number of factors, including our common shareholders’ equity, business prospects and available cash.  We do not expect to pay a dividend for the foreseeable future.

22

Tax Benefits Rights Agreement

Effective  May 5, 2015, the Company adopted a Rights Plan designed to help preserve the Company’s NOLs.  In connection with adopting the Rights Plan, the Company declared a distribution of one right per common share to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2015.  The rights do not trade apart from the current common shares until the distribution date, as defined in the Rights Plan.  Under the Rights Plan, the acquisition by an investor (or group of related investors) of greater than a 4.9% stake in the Company, could result in all existing shareholders other than the new 4.9% holder having the right to acquire new shares for a nominal cost, thereby significantly diluting the ownership interest of the acquiring person.  The Rights Plan runs for five years, or until the Board determines the plan is no longer required, whichever comes first. 

At September  30, 2017, we had two shareholders with a greater than a 4.9% stake in the Company.  Additionally, two employees of the Company would each have a greater than 4.9% stake in the Company for purposes of the Rights Plan to the extent that they exercised their vested option awards at September  30, 2017.  The Board of Directors has determined that these holdings do not constitute a triggering event for purposes of our Rights Plan.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements is based on the application of U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classification of the amounts in our consolidated financial statements.  These estimates and assumptions require us to make difficult, complex and subjective judgments involving matters that are inherently uncertain.  We base our accounting estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on judgments that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances known to us at the time.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.  We applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all material respects and for all periods presented, and have discussed those policies with our Audit Committee.

We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary based on changing conditions.  Management has discussed any significant changes in judgments and assumptions in applying our critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.  See “Item 1A - Risk Factors” for a discussion of the risks associated with the need for management to make judgments and estimates in applying our accounting policies and methods.  We have identified three of our accounting policies as critical because they involve significant judgments and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters, and the use of reasonably different estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our reported results of operations or financial condition.  These policies govern:

· Fair value measurement of our investments in bonds

· Consolidation of funds and ventures; and

· Income taxes.

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our 2016 Form 10-K for a discussion of these critical accounting policies and estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1—  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Organization

MMA Capital Management, LLC was organized in 1996 as a Delaware limited liability company.  Unless the context otherwise requires, and when used in these Notes, the “Company,” “MMA,” “we,” “our” or “us” refers to MMA Capital Management, LLC and its subsidiaries.

The Company partners with institutional capital to create and manage investments in affordable housing and renewable energy.  We invest for our own account and co-invest with our institutional capital partners.  We derive revenue from returns on our investments as well as asset management, performance and other fees from the investments, funds and ventures we manage.

The Company operates through three reportable segments.

United States (“U.S.”) Operations consists of three business lines: Leveraged Bonds, Low Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) and Energy Capital.  In our Leveraged Bonds business line, we primarily own and manage bonds for our own account that finance affordable housing and infrastructure in the U.S.  In our LIHTC business line, we primarily own and manage limited partner (“LP”) and general partner (“GP”) investments in affordable housing communities in the U.S.  In our Energy Capital business line, our wholly owned subsidiary MMA Energy Capital (“MEC”), originates late-stage development, construction and permanent loans directly and through multiple ventures with a leading global private investment firm and an alternative asset manager (hereinafter, the “Solar Ventures”) to enable developers, design and build contractors and system owners to develop, build and operate renewable energy systems throughout North America.  The Solar Ventures include Renewable Energy Lending, LLC (“REL”); Solar Construction Lending, LLC (“SCL”); Solar Permanent Lending, LLC (“SPL”); and Solar Development Lending, LLC (“SDL”).

International Operationsis managed through our wholly owned subsidiary, International Housing Solutions S.à r.l. (“IHS”).  IHS’s strategy is to raise, invest in and manage funds and ventures that invest in residential real estate.  This includes four private real estate funds and a publicly-traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”).  IHS currently manages five investment vehicles: South Africa Workforce Housing Fund (“SAWHF”), which is a multi-investor fund and is fully invested; International Housing Solutions Residential Partners Partnership (“IHS Residential Partners”), which is a single-investor fund targeted at the emerging middle class in South Africa; IHS Fund II SA (“IHS Fund II SA”), which is a multi-investor fund targeting investments in affordable housing, including green housing projects, within South Africa; IHS Fund II SSA (“IHS Fund II SSA”), which is a multi-investor fund targeting investments in affordable housing, including green housing projects, within Namibia and Botswana; and Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited (“Transcend”), which is a REIT that is listed on the AltX of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.  Additionally, MMA provides property management services to a substantial portion of the properties in our IHS-managed funds through its wholly owned subsidiary, IHS Property Management Proprietary Limited (“IHS PM”).

Corporate Operationsis responsible for accounting, reporting, compliance and financial planning and analysis services. 

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K”).

The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 

33

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, commitments and contingencies, and revenues and expenses.  Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, including the determination of fair values for bonds, derivative instruments, guarantee obligations, and certain assets and liabilities of CFVs.  Management has also made significant estimates in the determination of impairment on bonds and real estate investments.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of entities that are considered to be variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as well as those entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Equity investments in unconsolidated entities where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of the entity, but is not considered the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

New Accounting Guidance

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).”  This guidance introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet, as well as aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in ASC 606, the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard.  This new guidance, which is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted, also requires lessors to increase the transparency of their exposure to changes in value of their residual assets and how they manage that exposure.  We have considered the impact of this new guidance and do not expect its adoption to materially impact our consolidated financial statements. 

Accounting for Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):  Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net).”  The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  This guidance clarifies the implementation of principal versus agent considerations.  This new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2018.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):  Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.”  This guidance addresses certain implementation issues and clarifies the new revenue standard’s core revenue recognition principle.  This new guidance also is effective for us on January 1, 2018. 

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company completed an evaluation of its revenues from contracts with customers and identifiedall arrangements that are within the scope of the new guidance.  On January 1, 2018, we will recognize the impact of adopting this new guidance through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings, though we do not expect the adoption of such guidance will materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Business Combinations

In January 2017, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805):  Clarifying the Definition of a Business” was issued.  This guidance clarifies the definition of a business and provides guidance to assist reporting entities in the evaluation as to whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination.  This new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2018.  We anticipate the adoption of this new guidance to result in the majority, if not all, of the Company’s potential future general partner or limited partner acquisitions in real estate partnerships to be accounted for as an asset acquisition of nonfinancial assets rather than the acquisition of a business.  We have considered the impact of this new guidance and do not expect its adoption to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Goodwill

In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):  Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” was issued.  This guidance simplifies the complexity of the two-step goodwill impairment test by removing the second step to the test.  Goodwill impairment represents the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.  This new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted.  We have considered the impact of this new guidance and do not expectits adoption to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

34

Accounting for Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets

In February 2017, ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Topic 610-20):  Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” was issued.  This guidance clarifies that the derecognition of all businesses should be accounted for in accordance with the derecognition and deconsolidation guidance of Topic 810-10 – Consolidations.  In addition, this guidance eliminates the scope exception in authoritative literature that governs transfers of financial assets related to transfers of investments (including equity method investments) in real estate entities and supersedes guidance related to the exchange of a nonfinancial asset for a noncontrolling ownership interest as set forth in Topic 845 – Nonmonetary Transactions. This new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2018.  We have considered the impact of this new guidance and do not expect its adoption to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Stock Compensation

In May 2017, ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718):  Scope of Modification Accounting” was issued.  This guidance amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements.  The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification.  This new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2018.  We have considered the impact of this new guidance and do not expect its adoption to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2—Bonds Available-For-Sale

The Company’sinvestments in bondsthat are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (as a component of Bonds available-for-sale)are comprised primarily of multifamily tax-exempt bonds, but also include other real estate related bond investments. 

Multifamily tax-exempt bonds are issued by state and local governments or their agencies or authorities to finance multifamily rental housing. Generally, the only source of security on these bonds is either a first mortgage or a subordinate mortgage on the underlying properties. 

The Company’s investments in other real estate related bonds include municipal bonds that were issued to finance the development of infrastructure for a mixed-use town center development and are secured by incremental tax revenues generated from the development.  Our investments in other real estate related bonds also include a subordinated investment in a collateralized mortgage backed security that finances multifamily housing. 

The weighted-average pay rate on the Company’s bond portfolio was 6.2% and 6.1% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  Weighted-average pay rate represents the cash interest payments collected on the bonds as a percentage of the bonds’ average unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) for the preceding 12 months for the population of bonds at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The following tables provide information about the UPB, amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value (“FV”) associated with the Company’s investments in bonds that are classified as available-for-sale:

⁽²⁾ These unrealized losses relate to investments in bonds that were not assessed as OTTI.  The presentation of unrealized losses in the table above at December 31, 2016 was conformed in this Report to the presentation adopted during the first quarter of 2017 to separately disclose such amounts as gross unrealized losses.  Such amounts were previously included in our 2016 Form 10-K within gross unrealized gains. 

⁽³⁾ Comprised of one bond in a gross unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months that had a fair value of $15.3 million and $16.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. 

See Note 7, “Fair Value,” which describes factors that contributed to the $13.0million decrease in the reported fair value of the Company’s bond portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 

Maturity

Principal payments on the Company’s investments in bonds are based on contractual terms that are set forth in the contractual documents governing such investments.  If principal payments are not required to be made prior to the contractual maturity of a bond,its UPB is required to be paid in a lump sum payment at contractual maturity or at such earlier time as may be provided under the governing documents.  At September30, 2017,  the majority of the Company’s bonds amortizeon a scheduled basis and have stated maturity dates between March 2032 and March 2049.  The Company also had five non-amortizing bonds with principal due in full between November 2044 and August 2048 (the total cost basis and fair value of these bonds were $13.3million and $26.7 million, respectively, at September 30, 2017).

Bonds with Prepayment Features 

Thecontractual terms of substantially all of the Company’s investments in bonds include provisions that permit such instruments to be prepaid at par after a specified date that is prior to their stated maturity date.  The following table provides information about the UPB, amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s investments in bonds that were prepayable at par at September  30, 2017, as well as stratifies such information for the remainder of the Company’s investments based upon the periods in which such instruments becomeprepayable at par:

Investments in U.S. Real Estate Partnerships

At  September  30, 2017,  $17.8 million of the reported carrying value of investments in U.S. real estate partnerships relates to an equity investment made by the Company in a real estate venture to develop a mixed-use town center development and that, as of September 30, 2017, representeda  66.2%  ownership interest in such venture.  The Company made an initial capital contribution of $8.8 million,  which represented80% of the real estate venture’s initial capital.  However, the Company’s ownership interest has declined over time due to the priority of distributionsstipulated in the governing documents of the partnership.  The Company has rights to a preferred return on its capital contribution, as well as rights to share in excess cash flows of the real estate venture.  As this entity was determined not to be a VIE, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. 

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company acquired a 98.99% limited partner interest in an affordable housing partnership for $0.8 million.  While this entity was deemed to be a  VIE, the Company was not deemed to be its primary beneficiary.  Therefore, the Company did not consolidate this entity and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

On September 21, 2017, the underlying real estate that was owned by a partnership in which the Company held a  33%ownership interest was sold.  As a result of the sale, the Company recognized $3.8 million in its Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of “Equity in income from unconsolidated funds and ventures,” during the third quarter of 2017.The carrying value of this investment was $0.1 million at September 30, 2017.  Through the governing operating agreement, the Company is obligated to make additional capital contributions representing its proportionate amount of the partnership's obligations as they become due.  This contractual commitment does not have a defined contribution limit.  However, since the underlying real estate was sold, the Company does not expect to make any additional contributions to this partnership.  While this entity was determined to be a VIE, the Company was deemed not to be its primary beneficiary.  Therefore, the Company did not consolidate this entity and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, two and three of the U.S. real estate partnerships in which we have investments were determined to be VIEs, respectively.  The carrying value of the equity investments in these partnerships was $0.9 million and $11.1 million at September30, 2017 and December  31, 2016, respectively.  Other than as noted above, we are not contractually obligated to commit further capital to these investments.  Our maximum exposure to loss due to our involvement with these VIEs was $0.9 million and $11.1 million atSeptember 30, 2017 and December  31, 2016, respectively.  Because we are unable to quantify the maximum amount of additional capital contributions that we may be required to fund in the future associated with our proportionate share of one of the VIEs, we measure our maximum exposure to loss based upon the carrying value of the aforementioned investments.

The following table provides information about the total assets and liabilities of the U.S. real estate partnerships in which the Company held an equity investment:

Investments in IHS-Managed Funds

At September 30, 2017, the Company held equity co-investments in four IHS-managed funds (SAWHF, IHS Residential Partners, IHS Fund II SA and IHS Fund II SSA) that range from a  1.8% to a 14.6% ownership interest in such funds.  IHS provides asset management services to each of these funds in return for asset management fees.  For each fund, IHS also has rights to investment

38

returns on its equity co-investment as well as rights to an allocation of profits from such funds (often referred to as “carried interest”), which are contingent upon the investment returns generated by each investment vehicle. 

At September30, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in SAWHF, IHS Residential Partners, IHS Fund II SA and IHS Fund II SSA was $13.4million, $1.9 million,  $0.5million and $0,  respectively. 

As SAWHF, IHS Fund II SA and IHS Fund II SSA entities were determined not to be VIEs, the Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting. 

While IHS Residential Partners was determined to be a VIE, this entity was not consolidated for reporting purposes as the Company was deemed not to be its primary beneficiary.  As a result, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.  The Company does not expect to make additional capital contributions to IHS Residential Partners and, as a result, the Company believes that its risk of loss is limited to its investment balance of $1.9 million.  However,  through the governing shareholder agreement, IHS could be required to commit up to 180 million rand as capital contributions to such fund.  In this regard, our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement in this VIE is approximately $13.3 million and $13.2 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, based upon foreign currency exchange rates as of such reporting dates.

On July 28, 2017, IHS purchased from a third party an 11.85% ownership interest in SAWHF for 153.1 million rand, or approximately $11.8 million.  As part of this purchase transaction, the third party committed to invest the proceeds that it received into IHS Fund II SA, subject to the same conditions that governed the third party’s original investment in SAWHF and that include, but are not limited to, a commitment by IHS to purchase the third party’s ownership interest in IHS Fund II SA ten years from the initial close date of such fund (or, by the expiry of the fund’s original term).

Investment in Solar Ventures

MEC originates solar loans directly and through our Solar Ventures.  The Company made an initial $75.0 million non-cash capital contribution into REL in November 2016 that was comprised of solar energy loan investments, including our membership interests in SCL and SPL, in exchange for a membership interest in REL.  Because REL is not a VIE, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had contributed$11.4 millionof capital into SDL.Because SDL is not a VIE, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

Loans Held For Investment (“HFI”)

We report the carrying value of HFI loans at their UPB, net of unamortized premiums, discounts and other cost basis adjustments and related allowance for loan losses.  However, such loans are reported at fair value to the extent the Company has elected the fair value option (“FVO”) for such instrumentsand, as a result, such assets are subsequently measured on a fair value basis in our Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of “Net gains (losses) on loans.”

The following table provides information about the amortized cost and allowance for loan losses that were recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets related to loans that  it classified as HFI:

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,  HFI loans had UPB of $6.8million and $16.8 million, respectively.These loans had deferred fees and other basis adjustments of $5.0 million and $7.6 million as ofSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. 

At September 30, 2017, the Company did nothave any loans for which it elected FVO while, at December 31, 2016, the Company had one HFI loan, which had a UPB of $10.0 million and a  fair value of $3.8 million,  for which it elected the FVO so as to minimize certain operational challenges associated with accounting for this loan.During the third quarter of 2017, the Company charged off a subordinate loan receivable from a residential solar provider that filed for bankruptcy protection on March 13, 2017 that had a UPB of $11.5 million and no carrying value on the basis that further collection of this receivable was deemed remote. 

AtSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,  of the remaining HFI loans, impaired loans had a UPB of $6.4 millionand were not accruing interest.  We report impairment on HFI loans as “Other expenses” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The carrying value for HFI loans on non-accrual status was $0.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  The loan that the Company made to TC Fund I on December 31, 2015 is included among this population of loans.

AtSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no HFIloans that were 90 days or more past due in scheduled principal or interest payments were still accruing interest.

Loans Held For Sale (“HFS”)

We report the carrying value of HFS loans at the lower of cost or fair value withthe excess of the loan’s cost over its fair value recognized as a valuation allowance within “Net gains (losses) on loans” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The cost basis for HFS loans was $6.0 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016with a zero carrying valueat September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not recognize any lower of cost or market adjustments associated with any HFS loans that were recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt obligations.

Asset Related Debt

Notes Payable and Other Debt – Bond Related

These debt obligations pertain to bonds that are classified as available-for-sale and that were financed by the Company through total return swap (“TRS”) agreements.  In such transactions, the Company conveys its interest in bonds to a counterparty in exchange for cash consideration while simultaneously executing TRS agreements with the same counterparty for purposes of retaining the economic risks and returns of such investments.  The conveyance of the Company’s interest in bonds was treated for reporting purposes as a secured borrowing while TRS agreements that were executed simultaneously with such conveyance did not receive financial statement recognition since such derivative instruments caused the conveyance of the Company’s interest in these bonds not to qualify for sale accounting treatment. 

At September 30, 2017, under the terms of these TRS agreements, the counterparty is required to pay the Company an amount equal to the interest payments received on the underlying bonds (UPB of $79.7 million with a weighted-average pay rate of 6.5% at September 30, 2017).  For the majority of the TRS agreements, the Company is required to pay the counterparty a rate that is based upon the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association seven-day municipal swap rate (“SIFMA”) plus a spread on the TRS agreements (notional amount of $79.3 million with a weighted-average pay rate of 2.2% at September  30, 2017) and for the remaining TRS agreements, the Company is required to pay the counterparty a rate of 1-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread (notional amount of $4.7 million with a weighted-average pay rate of 2.8% at September 30, 2017).  The Company uses the pay rate on executed TRS agreements to accrue interest on its secured borrowing obligations to its counterparty.

During the first nine months of 2017, the Company completed discounted purchases of$26.4 million of its fixed rate subordinated debt in which $4.8 million of extinguishment gains were recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of “Net gains on extinguishment of liabilities.”

Notes Payable and Other Debt

At September 30, 2017, the Company had three outstanding debt obligations that it recognized in connection with the conveyance of two bonds to a buyer with which the Company executed three TRS agreements.  In this case, the transfer of the bonds did not qualify as a sale and, as a result, the proceeds received from the buyer were recognized as three distinct debt obligations that have UPBs of $9.8 million, $5.0 million and $2.5 million as of September 30, 2017 and require the Company to pay its counterparty a rate that is based upon SIFMA or LIBOR plus a spread.  One of these debt obligations has a contractual maturity date of June 21, 2021, while the balance of such obligations will mature on December 30, 2018.  The bonds were debt obligations of two partnerships that own affordable multifamily properties and that were consolidated by the Company. 

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company financed a portion of the cost of acquiring an additional 11.85% ownership interest in SAWHF.  At September 30, 2017, this debt had a UPB of $7.8 million, has a contractual maturity date of September 8, 2020 and requires the Company to pay its counterparty a rate that is based upon the Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate (“JIBAR”) plus a spread.

Letters of Credit

The Company had no letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Note 6—Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments for various purposes.  Pay-fixed interest rate swaps, interest rate basis swaps and interest rate caps are used to manage interest rate risk.  TRS agreements are used by the Company to obtain, or retain, the economic risks and rewards associated with tax exempt municipal bonds.  Foreign currency forward exchange agreements are used to manage currency risk associated with debt within our International Operations segment. 

Derivative instruments that are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured on a fair value basis.  Because the Company does not designate any of its derivative instruments as fair value or cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of such instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of “Net gains on derivatives and other assets.”  Derivative assets are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other assets” and derivative liabilities are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other liabilities.” 

The following table provides information about the carrying value of the Company’s derivative instruments:

Note7—Fair Value

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the first table below in this Note.  From time to time, we may be required to measure at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis such as certain loans held for investment or investments in partnerships.  These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities based upon their contractual terms and using relevant market information.  A description of the methods used by the Company to measure fair value is provided below.  Fair value measurements are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and often require the Company to make significant judgments.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the Company’s measurement of fair value. 

GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes inputs into the valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Fair value measurements associated with assets and liabilities are categorized into one of the following levels of the hierarchy based upon how observable the valuation inputs are that are used in such measurements.

· Level 1:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

· Level 2:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similarinstruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs or significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

· Level 3:  Valuation is generated from techniques that use significant assumptions that are not observable in the market.  These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Recurring Changes in Fair Value

The following tables present the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by instrument type and based upon the level of the fair value hierarchy within which fair value measurements of such assets and liabilities are categorized.

Changes in Fair Value Levels

We monitor the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy and transfer between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 accordingly.  Observable market data includes, but is not limited to, quoted prices and market transactions.  Changes in economic conditions or market liquidity generally will drive changes in availability of observable market data.  Changes in availability of observable market data, which also may result in changing the valuation technique used, are generally the cause of transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no individually significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2, or between Levels 2 and 3.

Changes in fair value of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and that are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy are attributed in the following table to identified activities that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017:

We use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. 

For our Level 3 assets and liabilities, we use a discounted cash flow valuation technique to measure fair value.  This type of valuation technique involves developing a projection of expected future cash flows of an instrument and then discounting such cash flows using discount factors that consider the relative risk of the cash flows and the time value of money.  In applying this technique, the rate of return, or discount rate, that is utilized for such purposes reflects specific characteristics of an instrument including, but not limited to the expected term of the instrument, its debt service coverage ratio or credit quality, geographic location, investment size and other attributes:

· For performing multifamily bonds and certain TRS derivatives, the Company’s projection of expected future cash flows reflects cash flows that are contractually due over the life of an instrument.  Such projected cash flows are discounted based upon the market yield of such instruments.  For such instruments, the Company determines market yield by generally utilizing the AAA Municipal Market Data tax-exempt rate ("MMD") for each instrument’s specific term and applies a market rate risk premium spread that reflects that instrument’s specific credit characteristics, such as size, debt service coverage, state or bond type.

· For infrastructure bonds, the Company’s projection of expected future cash flows reflects a probability-weighted assessment of the expected future incremental tax revenues that would be generated through existing and future development of the mixed-use town center that support the debt service payments on the Company’s bonds.  Such projected cash flows are discounted based upon the market yield of such instruments.  For such instruments, the Company determines market yield by generally utilizing the AAA MMD tax-exempt rate for each infrastructure bond’s specific term and applies a market rate risk premium spread that reflects each instrument’s specific credit characteristics.

· For non-performing bonds, subordinate cash flow bonds and certain TRS derivatives, the Company’s projection of expected future cash flows reflects internally-generated projections over a 10-year investment period of future NOI from the underlying properties that serve as collateral for our instruments.  A terminal value, less estimated costs of sale, is then added 51  

to the projected discounted projection to reflect the remaining value that is expected to be generated at the end of the projection period.  The Company utilizes geographic and sector specific discount rates that are published by an independent real estate research organization.

Significant unobservable inputs presented in the preceding tables are those we consider significant to the fair value of the Level 3 asset or liability.  We consider unobservable inputs to be significant if, by their exclusion, the fair value of the Level 3 asset or liability would be impacted by a predetermined percentage change, or based on qualitative factors, such as nature of the instrument, type of valuation technique used and the significance of the unobservable inputs relative to other inputs used within the valuation.  Following is a description of the significant unobservable inputs that are referenced in the table:

· Market yield – is a market rate of return used to present value the future expected cash flow to arrive at the fair value of an instrument. The market yieldtypically consists of a benchmark rate component and a risk premium component. The benchmark rate component, for example, MMD or SIFMA, is generally observable within the market and is necessary to appropriately reflect the time value of money. The risk premium component reflects the amount of compensation market participants require due to the uncertainty inherent in the instrument’s cash flows resulting from risks such as credit and liquidity.  A significant decrease in this input in isolation would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement.

· Capitalization rate – is calculated as the ratio between the NOI produced by a commercial real estate property and the price for such asset.  A significant decrease in this input in isolation would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement.

· NOI annual growth rate – is the amount of future growth in NOI that the Company projects each property to generate on an annual basis over the 10-year projection period.  These annual growth estimates take into account the Company’s expectation about the future increases, or decreases, in rental rates, vacancy rates, bad debt expense, concessions and operating expenses for each property.  Generally, an increase in NOI will result in an increase to the fair value of the property.

Non-Recurring Changes in Fair Value

There were no non-recurring adjustments during the three months ended September  30, 2017.

Valuation Techniques

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash – The carrying value of these assets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and negligible credit risk inherent in them.

Accrued interest and accounts receivable – The carrying value of these assets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and negligible credit risk inherent in them.

Asset management fee receivable from TC Fund I – Fair value is measured using a discounted cash flow methodology pursuant to which contractual payments from actual or anticipated residual events are discounted based upon a market yield.

Guarantee fee receivable–  The carrying value of this receivable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature and negligible credit risk inherent in such receivables.

Loans held for investment – Fair value is measured using a discounted cash flow methodology pursuant to which contractual payments are discounted based upon market yields for similar loans.

Notes payable and other debt–  Fair value is measured by discounting contractual cash flows using a market rate of interest or by estimating the fair value of the collateral supporting the debt arrangement, taking into account credit risk. 

Subordinated debt–  The Company measures the fair value of the subordinated debt by discounting contractual cash flows based upon its estimated market yield, which was 15.0% and 14.5% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  As outlined in the table above, at September 30, 2017, the aggregate fair value was measured at $40.4 million.  At September 30, 2017, the measured fair value of this debt would have been$47.5 million and $35.1 million using a market yield of 12.5% and 17.5%, respectively.  The measured fair value of this debt is inherently judgmental and based on management’s assumption of market yields.  There can be no assurance that the Company could repurchase the remaining subordinated debt at the measured fair values reflected in the table above or that the debt would trade at that price.

Guarantee obligations–The fair value of these obligations representsan estimate of what we would pay to transfer such obligations to a third party in an orderly transaction at the measurement date.  The carrying value of these obligations, which reflects the unamortized balance of deferred guarantee fees received by the Company (a systematic and rational method of amortization is used to subsequently

53

measure such liabilities for reporting purposes), approximates their fair value. However, as further discussed in Note 8, “Guarantees and Collateral,” the Company has guaranteed minimum yields on investment to investors in 11 LIHTC funds that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.  As a result, the unamortized balance of deferred guarantee fees associated with such funds is eliminated for financial reporting purposes.  Therefore, such amounts are not included in the carrying value of the Company’s guarantee obligations as reported in the preceding tables.  Nonetheless, the Company believes that, in measuring the fair value of these guarantees, market participants would assume that the unamortized balance of deferred guarantee fees is a reasonable proxy for what the Company would be expected to pay to assign its guarantee obligations to a third party.  Accordingly, the unamortized balance of deferred guarantee fees associated with such guarantees, while not included in the reported carrying value of the Company's guarantee obligations, is included in the disclosed fair value of the Company's guarantee obligations.

Note 8—Guarantees and Collateral

Guarantees – LIHTC Business Line 

The Company has guaranteed minimum yields on investment to investors in 11 consolidated LIHTC funds, along with two additional guaranteed LIHTC funds that are not consolidated for reporting purposes (all 13 LIHTC funds are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Guaranteed Funds”) and has agreed to indemnify the purchaser of the GP interests in those Guaranteed Funds from investor claims related to those guarantees.  The Company may have to perform under such guarantees of investor yield for losses resulting from recapture of tax credits due to foreclosure or difficulties in maintaining occupancy levels as mandated by LIHTC compliance regulations with respect to the LTPPs in which the Guaranteed Funds are invested.  Guarantees and indemnifications that relate to the 11 Guaranteed Funds that the Company consolidated for reporting purposes will expire in full by the end of 2027, while the balance of the Company’s indemnifications associated with Guaranteed Funds will expire by December 31, 2017.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the 11 Guaranteed Funds for which the Company has provided an indemnification to the purchaser of corresponding GP interests held an aggregate of $14.8 million and $14.5 million in reserves, respectively.  While these reserves are not cross collateralized, they could be utilized by each Guaranteed Fund to bring projected investor yield to its guaranteed minimum.  This could mitigate, or reduce, the amount that the Company could otherwise be required to pay under its contractual obligations.  Additionally, because the Company holds a first mortgage revenue bond from certain LTPPs in certain Guaranteed Funds, we have control over the exercise of default remedies (such as foreclosure) for certain LTPPs, thereby controlling potential exposure that we have under our guarantee and indemnification agreements. 

As bondholder of a defaulted LTPP in which one of the 11 Guaranteed Funds is an LP investor, the Company foreclosed on, and subsequently sold, the property of the defaulted LTPP in the first quarter of 2016.  This sale caused the redemption of our bond investment, as well as a loss of future tax credits and the recapture of tax credits previously taken.  As a result, the Company made a guarantee payment of $0.9 million during the second quarter of 2016.  The Company made no guarantee payments associated with the Guaranteed Funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Company does not have any recourse provisions that would enable it to recover from third parties any of the amounts that would be required to be paid under either of the aforementioned types of indemnifications.  At September 30, 2017, the Company concluded there were no expected tax credit deficiencies that were both probable and estimable that would require it to make a payment related to these indemnification agreements. 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $7.7 million and $8.6 million, respectively, of unamortized fees related to indemnifications associated with the 11 Guaranteed Funds.  These unamortized fees are included in the Company’s measurement of its common shareholders’ equity.  However, for presentation purposes, these unamortized fees are eliminated in consolidation against the 11 Guaranteed Funds’ prepaid guarantee fee asset. 

The Company has agreed to indemnify specific investors in non-Guaranteed Funds related to the performance on certain LTPPs.  If a third party fails to perform on its financial obligation relating to the property’s performance, the Company will be required to indemnify impacted investors.  Such indemnities will expire by December 31, 2017.

On December 29, 2015, as part of TC Fund I’s acquisition of a portfolio of limited partnership investments, TEI agreed to make mandatory loans to TC Fund I for distribution to the investor involved in this transaction in the amount of 95% of the excess, if any, of the projected tax credits for years 2016 to 2020 over the tax credits actually allocated to the investor.  In addition, until December 31, 2025, TEI agreed to make mandatory loans to TC Fund I for distribution to the investor in the amount of tax credits previously claimed from 2016 to 2020 that are subsequently recaptured or otherwise reduced or lost, together with associated costs.  Mandatory loans are limited in amount to 70% of projected tax credits in any year ($109.6 million of total maximum exposure) and may be subject to certain other limitations. In addition to these limitations, the investor will absorb 5% of any loss of tax credits.  On this basis, the Company recognized a $4.2 million liability in connection with TEI’s mandatory loan performance obligation.  At September 30, 2017, the Company had $2.9 million of unamortized fees related to the mandatory loan performance obligation. 

54

However, if the Company were ever required to make a mandatory loan to TC Fund I, the Company would have the right to recover such payment to the extent there were available cash flows from TC Fund I to provide for such reimbursement.  During the third quarter of 2017, the Company made a mandatory loan to TC Fund I of $0.6 million that was fully repaid by TC Fund I during such reporting period.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $20.0 million and $25.6 million, respectively, of collateral that was primarily pledged towards the guarantee exposure associated with the 11 Guaranteed Funds and TC Fund I.  If we are required to perform under our guarantees, we could, subject to third party consent, access or be reimbursed from this collateral.

On November 10, 2016, the Company acquired a 0.01% general partnership interest in an entity that owns an affordable multifamily property that served as collateral for one of our bond investments.  This property is an investment included within the 11 consolidated Guaranteed Funds.  As part of this acquisition, the Company guaranteed the GP’s performance in connection with its obligations under the partnership agreement, which requires the GP to pay the limited partner any potential difference caused by the actual tax credits delivered being less than projected (including recapture of credits previously taken if caused by the actions of the GP).  This performance guarantee does not increase maximum exposure amounts that are disclosed in the table below associated with indemnification agreements that the Company executed in connection with the Guaranteed Funds.  Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 13, “Consolidated Funds and Ventures,” for additional information.

The following table provides information about the maximum exposure associated with the Company’s guarantee and indemnification agreements that we executed in connection with the Guaranteed Funds, TC Fund I and certain LTPPs:

	At				At
	September 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Maximum		Carrying		Maximum		Carrying

⁽¹⁾ The Company’s maximum exposure represents the maximum loss the Company could incur under such agreements but is not indicative of the likelihood of expected loss under such agreements.

⁽²⁾ The maximum exposure includes $388.4 million related to the 11 Guaranteed Funds we consolidated at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  See Note 13, “Consolidated Funds and Ventures,” for more information.   

Guarantees – Energy Capital Business Line 

On November 7, 2016, as part of the formation of REL, the Company agreed to guarantee all payment and performance obligations of its subsidiary, MEC, to the venture.  Performance under this guaranty would be required by a breach of terms under the management agreement entered into by MEC.  Because the Company controls MEC, it does not expect that it would, under any circumstance, ever have to perform under this guarantee.  As a result, the Company believes that there are no potential future payments to make under this guarantee.  Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3, “Investments in Partnerships and Ventures,” for more information about our Solar Ventures.

⁽²⁾ At September 30, 2017, 410,000 stock options were in the money and had a potential dilutive share impact of 383,299 and 382,088 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the adjustment to net income for the awards classified as liabilities caused the common stock equivalents to be anti-dilutive.    

⁽³⁾ At September 30, 2016, 410,000 stock options were in the money and had a potential dilutive share impact of 375,001 and 371,523 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  In addition, 9,468 unvested employee deferred shares had a potential dilutive weighted-average share impact of 2,730 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  There was no dilutive impact for the three months ended September 30, 2016.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the adjustment to net income for the awards classified as liabilities caused the common stock equivalents to be anti-dilutive.    

⁽⁴⁾ For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, all options were vested and in the money as of January 1, 2017 and thus none were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the weighted-average number of options excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share was 2,222, either because of their anti-dilutive effect (i.e. options that were not in the money) or because the option had contingent vesting requirements.  No options were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Common Shares

On  December 1, 2016, the Board authorized a 2017 share repurchase program (“2017 Plan”) for up to 580,000 shares and the Company adopted a further Rule 10b5-1 Plan implementing the Board’s authorization.  During the third quarter of 2017, the Company purchased 48,956 shares at an average price of $23.73.BetweenOctober 1, 2017 and November 2, 2017, the Company repurchased 21,000 shares at an average price of $24.85.  Effective at the filing of this Report and until modified by further action by the Board, the maximum price at which management is currentlyauthorized to purchase shares is $26.75 per share. 

Effective May 5, 2015, the Company adopted the Rights Plan to help preserve the Company’s net operating losses (“NOLs”).  In connection with adopting the Rights Plan, the Company declared a distribution of one right per common share to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2015.  The rights do not trade apart from the current common shares until the distribution date, as defined in the Rights Plan.  Under the Rights Plan, the acquisition by an investor (or group of related investors) of greater than a 4.9% stake in the Company, could result in all existing shareholders other than the new 4.9% holder having the right to acquire new shares for a nominal cost, thereby significantly diluting the ownership interest of the acquiring person.  The Rights Plan will run for a period of five years, or until the Board determines the plan is no longer required, whichever comes first.

The Company measures the fair value of unvested options with time-based vesting and all vested options (both time-based and performance based) using a lattice model for purposes of recognizing compensation expense.  The Company believes the lattice model provides a better estimate of the fair value of these options as, according to FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, “the design of a lattice model more fully reflects the substantive characteristics of a particular employee share option.”  Because options granted with stock price targets contain a “market condition” under FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to simulate future stock price movements for the Company.  The Company believes a Monte Carlo simulation provides a better estimate of the fair value for unvested options granted with specific stock price targets as the model’s flexibility allows for the fair value to account for the vesting provisions as well as the different probabilities of stock price outcomes.  All options were vested as of September 30, 2017.

The following table provides information related to option activity under the Employees’ Stock-Based Compensation Plans:

The value of employee options increased by $2.5 million during thenine months ended September 30, 2017, due to the increase in market value of our stock price.  This increase was recognized as additional compensation expense. 

Employee Deferred Shares

All of the Company’s employee deferred shares were vested and issued.

Non-Employee Directors’ Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Non-employee Directors’ Stock-based Compensation Plans authorize a total of 1,130,000 shares for issuance, of which 408,967 were available to be issued at September 30, 2017.  The Non-employee Directors’ Stock-based Compensation Plans provide for grants of non-qualified common stock options, common shares, restricted shares and deferred shares.

Note  13—Consolidated Funds and Ventures

Due to the Company generally having a minimal ownership interest in certain consolidated entities, the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, equity in losses from those entities’ unconsolidated LTPPs and the losses allocated to the noncontrolling interests of the consolidated entities have been separately identified in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations. Third-party ownership in these CFVs is recorded in equity as “Noncontrolling interests in CFVs and IHS PM.”

Guaranteed Funds

As further discussed in Note 8, “Guarantees and Collateral,” the Company has guaranteed minimum yields on investment to investors in 11 Guaranteed Funds that are consolidated by the Company for reporting purposes.  The Guaranteed Funds’ primary assets are their investments in LTPPs, which are the owners of the affordable housing properties (see Investments in LTPPs in the Asset Summary below).  The Guaranteed Funds account for these investments using the equity method of accounting.   

Consolidated Property Partnerships

At September 30, 2017, the Company is the general partner in four LTPPs in which it holds equity interests ranging from 0.01% - 1.00%.  Because the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the four entities have been consolidated by the Company for financial reporting purposes at September 30, 2017.  The investors in these consolidated entities have no recourse against the assets of the Company.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K.  Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2016.

Item4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings and submissions to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Such controls include those designed to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, on the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act.  Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that because remediation of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in our 2016 Form 10-K has not been completed as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective atSeptember  30, 2017.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  It is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to human error and misjudgment.  In general, evaluations of effectiveness for future periods are subject to risk as controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with key processes or procedures. 

A deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously disclosed in our 2016 Form 10-K, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 based on criteria related to internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO 2013 Framework).  Based on this evaluation, management determined that because of the material weaknesses described below, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2016. 

As a result of this assessment, management concluded that the Company did not have adequately trained resources with assigned responsibility over the use of spreadsheets in the Company’s financial reporting processes and effective monitoring of control activities associated with the use of spreadsheets.  Additionally, the Company did not have restricted access controls over the spreadsheets, including appropriate security controls over the network where the spreadsheets were stored; program change controls over the functionality of the spreadsheets; and completeness and accuracy controls over the data and assumptions used in the spreadsheets.

As a consequence,the Company did not have effective process-level controls over the measurement and presentation of certain investments and related income, other assets and related income, other liabilities, and income taxes that were dependent upon the use of spreadsheets.  Certain of the Company’s reconciliation and management review controls over these accounts were ineffective because the Company did not assess the completeness and accuracy of information included within the spreadsheets.

70

The control deficiencies described above resulted in immaterial errors in certain accounts in the Company’s preliminary financial statements that were corrected prior to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2016, as well as the correction of an immaterial error that was disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.The Company believes the material weakness continues to exists because the Company’s remediation effort is ongoing.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the continued implementation of the remediation plan described below, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Remediation Plan

In 2017, the Company will sponsor additional targeted training to key personnel related to the use of, and monitoring of control activities associated with, spreadsheets that are used for financial reporting purposes.  Additionally, and as a continuation of the Company’s remediation plan that was established to address material weaknesses identified as of the assessment for December 31, 2016, the Company will execute the following steps in 2017:

· The Company will implement and test general information technology controls (“GITCs”) over (i) logical access to, and administrator review of, its network and (ii) change management software that is designed to identify, track and report upon changes that are made to spreadsheets that are used for financial reporting purposes; and

· To improve the design and operating effectiveness of certain of the Company’s reconciliation and management review controls, the Company will implement and operate its corporate spreadsheet policy.  In doing so, the Company will validate the completeness and accuracy of data and assumptions used in all of its spreadsheets that are used for financial reporting purposes (i) in conjunction with the implementation of effective GITCs and change management software and (ii) as, and when, spreadsheet data and assumptions are subsequently modified.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had executed the following steps in connection with its remediation plan:

· The Company completed a review and implementation of GITCs over its general ledger and network provisioning, including access restrictions to where spreadsheets are stored on our network and has begun preliminary testing;

· The Company designed and implemented standards to be followed to clearly evidence the execution of GITCs;

· The Company expanded its spreadsheet policy to incorporate enhanced standards over (i) its risk assessment of spreadsheets and (ii) how to evidence the execution of key control activities over the Company’s spreadsheets;

· The Company has implemented its corporate spreadsheet policy and has also sponsored a training on its spreadsheet policy for personnel that are accountable for internal control over financial reporting;

· The Company completed the validation of data and assumptions used in its spreadsheets that are used for financial reporting purposes; and

· The Company designed and implemented standards to be followed to clearly evidence change controls over information within the Company’s spreadsheets that are used for financial reporting purposes.

All enhancements to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that were implemented by the Company as of September 30, 2017 are subject to continued evaluation by management and testing by the Company’s registered public accountants.  Although we expect that full implementation of this plan will result in the remediation of the Company’s material weaknesses, we cannot provide any assurance that these efforts will be successful, or that we will not identify additional control deficiencies in future periods.

We are not, nor are any of our subsidiaries, a party to any material pending litigation or other legal proceedings.  Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, we are not party to any threatened litigation or legal proceedings, which, in the opinion of management, individually or in the aggregate, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Tax legislation was introduced in Congress on November 2, 2017 that contains proposals that could impact our business.  However, until Congress settles on a final bill, it is impossible to predict the nature or degree of the impact of such proposed legislation.  See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K for more information about risks that could, directly or indirectly, have a material adverse effect on our business, our financial condition, our results of operations or the value of our common shares.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

MMA Capital Management, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1—  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Organization

MMA Capital Management, LLC was organized in 1996 as a Delaware limited liability company.  Unless the context otherwise requires, and when used in these Notes, the “Company,” “MMA,” “we,” “our” or “us” refers to MMA Capital Management, LLC and its subsidiaries.

The Company partners with institutional capital to create and manage investments in affordable housing and renewable energy.  We invest for our own account and co-invest with our institutional capital partners.  We derive revenue from returns on our investments as well as asset management, performance and other fees from the investments, funds and ventures we manage.

The Company operates through three reportable segments.

United States (“U.S.”) Operations consists of three business lines: Leveraged Bonds, Low Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) and Energy Capital.  In our Leveraged Bonds business line, we primarily own and manage bonds for our own account that finance affordable housing and infrastructure in the U.S.  In our LIHTC business line, we primarily own and manage limited partner (“LP”) and general partner (“GP”) investments in affordable housing communities in the U.S.  In our Energy Capital business line, our wholly owned subsidiary MMA Energy Capital (“MEC”), originates late-stage development, construction and permanent loans directly and through multiple ventures with a leading global private investment firm and an alternative asset manager (hereinafter, the “Solar Ventures”) to enable developers, design and build contractors and system owners to develop, build and operate renewable energy systems throughout North America.  The Solar Ventures include Renewable Energy Lending, LLC (“REL”); Solar Construction Lending, LLC (“SCL”); Solar Permanent Lending, LLC (“SPL”); and Solar Development Lending, LLC (“SDL”).

International Operationsis managed through our wholly owned subsidiary, International Housing Solutions S.à r.l. (“IHS”).  IHS’s strategy is to raise, invest in and manage funds and ventures that invest in residential real estate.  This includes four private real estate funds and a publicly-traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”).  IHS currently manages five investment vehicles: South Africa Workforce Housing Fund (“SAWHF”), which is a multi-investor fund and is fully invested; International Housing Solutions Residential Partners Partnership (“IHS Residential Partners”), which is a single-investor fund targeted at the emerging middle class in South Africa; IHS Fund II SA (“IHS Fund II SA”), which is a multi-investor fund targeting investments in affordable housing, including green housing projects, within South Africa; IHS Fund II SSA (“IHS Fund II SSA”), which is a multi-investor fund targeting investments in affordable housing, including green housing projects, within Namibia and Botswana; and Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited (“Transcend”), which is a REIT that is listed on the AltX of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.  Additionally, MMA provides property management services to a substantial portion of the properties in our IHS-managed funds through its wholly owned subsidiary, IHS Property Management Proprietary Limited (“IHS PM”).

Corporate Operationsis responsible for accounting, reporting, compliance and financial planning and analysis services. 

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K”).

The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, commitments and contingencies, and revenues and expenses.  Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, including the determination of fair values for bonds, derivative instruments, guarantee obligations, and certain assets and liabilities of CFVs.  Management has also made significant estimates in the determination of impairment on bonds and real estate investments.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of entities that are considered to be variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as well as those entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Equity investments in unconsolidated entities where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of the entity, but is not considered the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

New Accounting Guidance

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).”  This guidance introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet, as well as aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in ASC 606, the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard.  This new guidance, which is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted, also requires lessors to increase the transparency of their exposure to changes in value of their residual assets and how they manage that exposure.  We have considered the impact of this new guidance and do not expect its adoption to materially impact our consolidated financial statements. 

Accounting for Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):  Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net).”  The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  This guidance clarifies the implementation of principal versus agent considerations.  This new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2018.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):  Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.”  This guidance addresses certain implementation issues and clarifies the new revenue standard’s core revenue recognition principle.  This new guidance also is effective for us on January 1, 2018. 

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company completed an evaluation of its revenues from contracts with customers and identified all arrangements that are within the scope of the new guidance.  On January 1, 2018, we will recognize the impact of adopting this new guidance through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings, though we do not expect the adoption of such guidance will materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Business Combinations

In January 2017, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805):  Clarifying the Definition of a Business” was issued.  This guidance clarifies the definition of a business and provides guidance to assist reporting entities in the evaluation as to whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination.  This new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2018.  We anticipate the adoption of this new guidance to result in the majority, if not all, of the Company’s potential future general partner or limited partner acquisitions in real estate partnerships to be accounted for as an asset acquisition of nonfinancial assets rather than the acquisition of a business.  We have considered the impact of this new guidance and do not expect its adoption to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Goodwill

In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):  Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” was issued.  This guidance simplifies the complexity of the two-step goodwill impairment test by removing the second step to the test.  Goodwill impairment represents the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.  This new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted.  We have considered the impact of this new guidance and do not expect its adoption to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets

In February 2017, ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Topic 610-20):  Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” was issued.  This guidance clarifies that the derecognition of all businesses should be accounted for in accordance with the derecognition and deconsolidation guidance of Topic 810-10 – Consolidations.  In addition, this guidance eliminates the scope exception in authoritative literature that governs transfers of financial assets related to transfers of investments (including equity method investments) in real estate entities and supersedes guidance related to the exchange of a nonfinancial asset for a noncontrolling ownership interest as set forth in Topic 845 – Nonmonetary Transactions. This new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2018.  We have considered the impact of this new guidance and do not expect its adoption to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Stock Compensation

In May 2017, ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718):  Scope of Modification Accounting” was issued.  This guidance amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements.  The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification.  This new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2018.  We have considered the impact of this new guidance and do not expect its adoption to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

BONDS AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE

Bonds Available-For-Sale [Abstract]

BONDS AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE

Note 2—Bonds Available-For-Sale

The Company’sinvestments in bondsthat are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (as a component of Bonds available-for-sale)are comprised primarily of multifamily tax-exempt bonds, but also include other real estate related bond investments. 

Multifamily tax-exempt bonds are issued by state and local governments or their agencies or authorities to finance multifamily rental housing. Generally, the only source of security on these bonds is either a first mortgage or a subordinate mortgage on the underlying properties. 

The Company’s investments in other real estate related bonds include municipal bonds that were issued to finance the development of infrastructure for a mixed-use town center development and are secured by incremental tax revenues generated from the development.  Our investments in other real estate related bonds also include a subordinated investment in a collateralized mortgage backed security that finances multifamily housing. 

The weighted-average pay rate on the Company’s bond portfolio was 6.2% and 6.1% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  Weighted-average pay rate represents the cash interest payments collected on the bonds as a percentage of the bonds’ average unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) for the preceding 12 months for the population of bonds at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The following tables provide information about the UPB, amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value (“FV”) associated with the Company’s investments in bonds that are classified as available-for-sale:

	At

Total	$	154,154	$	114,983	$	41,427	$	(429)	$	155,981	101%

⁽¹⁾ Consists of the UPB, unamortized premiums, discounts and other cost basis adjustments, as well as other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) recognized in earnings.

⁽²⁾ These unrealized losses relate to investments in bonds that were not assessed as OTTI.  The presentation of unrealized losses in the table above at December 31, 2016 was conformed in this Report to the presentation adopted during the first quarter of 2017 to separately disclose such amounts as gross unrealized losses.  Such amounts were previously included in our 2016 Form 10-K within gross unrealized gains. 

⁽³⁾ Comprised of one bond in a gross unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months that had a fair value of $15.3 million and $16.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. 

See Note 7, “Fair Value,” which describes factors that contributed to the $13.0million decrease in the reported fair value of the Company’s bond portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 

Maturity

Principal payments on the Company’s investments in bonds are based on contractual terms that are set forth in the contractual documents governing such investments.  If principal payments are not required to be made prior to the contractual maturity of a bond,its UPB is required to be paid in a lump sum payment at contractual maturity or at such earlier time as may be provided under the governing documents.  At September 30, 2017,  the majority of the Company’s bonds amortizeon a scheduled basis and have stated maturity dates between March 2032 and March 2049.  The Company also had five non-amortizing bonds with principal due in full between November 2044 and August 2048 (the total cost basis and fair value of these bonds were $13.3 million and $26.7 million, respectively, at September 30, 2017).

Bonds with Prepayment Features 

Thecontractual terms of substantially all of the Company’s investments in bonds include provisions that permit such instruments to be prepaid at par after a specified date that is prior to their stated maturity date.  The following table provides information about the UPB, amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s investments in bonds that were prepayable at par at September  30, 2017, as well as stratifies such information for the remainder of the Company’s investments based upon the periods in which such instruments becomeprepayable at par:

(in thousands)	UPB		Amortized Cost		Fair Value
September 30, 2017	$	27,050	$	21,211	$	22,405
October 1 through December 31, 2017		─		─		─
2018		1,907		266		2,196

Bonds that may not be prepaid		─		─		─
Total	$	142,718	$	100,565	$	142,951

The weighted-average expected maturity of the Company’s investments in bonds that were not currently prepayable at par at September  30, 2017 was 4.4 years.

Non-Accrual Bonds

The fair value of the Company’s investments in bonds that were on non-accrual status was $7.3 million and $7.0 million at September  30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  The Company recognized interest income on a cash basis of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016 and $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  Interest income not recognized on bonds that were on non-accrual status was $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.3  million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Investments in U.S. Real Estate Partnerships

At  September  30, 2017,  $17.8 million of the reported carrying value of investments in U.S. real estate partnerships relates to an equity investment made by the Company in a real estate venture to develop a mixed-use town center development and that, as of September 30, 2017, represented a 66.2% ownership interest in such venture.  The Company made an initial capital contribution of $8.8 million, which represented80% of the real estate venture’s initial capital.  However, the Company’s ownership interest has declined over time due to the priority of distributions stipulated in the governing documents of the partnership.  The Company has rights to a preferred return on its capital contribution, as well as rights to share in excess cash flows of the real estate venture.  As this entity was determined not to be a VIE, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. 

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company acquired a 98.99% limited partner interest in an affordable housing partnership for $0.8 million.  While this entity was deemed to be a VIE, the Company was not deemed to be its primary beneficiary.  Therefore, the Company did not consolidate this entity and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. 

On September 21, 2017, the underlying real estate that was owned by a partnership in which the Company held a  33%ownership interest was sold.  As a result of the sale, the Company recognized $3.8 million in its Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of “Equity in income from unconsolidated funds and ventures,” during the third quarter of 2017.  The carrying value of this investment was $0.1 million at September 30, 2017.  Through the governing operating agreement, the Company is obligated to make additional capital contributions representing its proportionate amount of the partnership's obligations as they become due.  This contractual commitment does not have a defined contribution limit.  However, since the underlying real estate was sold, the Company does not expect to make any additional contributions to this partnership.  While this entity was determined to be a VIE, the Company was deemed not to be its primary beneficiary.  Therefore, the Company did not consolidate this entity and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, two and three of the U.S. real estate partnerships in which we have investments were determined to be VIEs, respectively.  The carrying value of the equity investments in these partnerships was $0.9 million and $11.1 million at September 30, 2017 and December  31, 2016, respectively.  Other than as noted above, we are not contractually obligated to commit further capital to these investments.  Our maximum exposure to loss due to our involvement with these VIEs was $0.9 million and $11.1 million atSeptember 30, 2017 and December  31, 2016, respectively.  Because we are unable to quantify the maximum amount of additional capital contributions that we may be required to fund in the future associated with our proportionate share of one of the VIEs, we measure our maximum exposure to loss based upon the carrying value of the aforementioned investments.

The following table provides information about the total assets and liabilities of the U.S. real estate partnerships in which the Company held an equity investment:

Investments in IHS-Managed Funds

At September 30, 2017, the Company held equity co-investments in four IHS-managed funds (SAWHF, IHS Residential Partners, IHS Fund II SA and IHS Fund II SSA) that range from a  1.8% to a  14.6% ownership interest in such funds.  IHS provides asset management services to each of these funds in return for asset management fees.  For each fund, IHS also has rights to investment returns on its equity co-investment as well as rights to an allocation of profits from such funds (often referred to as “carried interest”), which are contingent upon the investment returns generated by each investment vehicle. 

At September 30, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in SAWHF, IHS Residential Partners, IHS Fund II SA and IHS Fund II SSA was $13.4 million, $1.9 million,  $0.5million and $0,  respectively. 

As SAWHF, IHS Fund II SA and IHS Fund II SSA entities were determined not to be VIEs, the Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting. 

While IHS Residential Partners was determined to be a VIE, this entity was not consolidated for reporting purposes as the Company was deemed not to be its primary beneficiary.  As a result, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.  The Company does not expect to make additional capital contributions to IHS Residential Partners and, as a result, the Company believes that its risk of loss is limited to its investment balance of $1.9 million.  However,  through the governing shareholder agreement, IHS could be required to commit up to 180 million rand as capital contributions to such fund.  In this regard, our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement in this VIE is approximately $13.3 million and $13.2 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, based upon foreign currency exchange rates as of such reporting dates.

On July 28, 2017, IHS purchased from a third party an 11.85% ownership interest in SAWHF for 153.1 million rand, or approximately $11.8 million.  As part of this purchase transaction, the third party committed to invest the proceeds that it received into IHS Fund II SA, subject to the same conditions that governed the third party’s original investment in SAWHF and that include, but are not limited to, a commitment by IHS to purchase the third party’s ownership interest in IHS Fund II SA ten years from the initial close date of such fund (or, by the expiry of the fund’s original term).

Investment in Solar Ventures

MEC originates solar loans directly and through our Solar Ventures.  The Company made an initial $75.0 million non-cash capital contribution into REL in November 2016 that was comprised of solar energy loan investments, including our membership interests in SCL and SPL, in exchange for a membership interest in REL.  Because REL is not a VIE, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had contributed$11.4 millionof capital into SDL.  Because SDL is not a VIE, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

Loans Held For Investment (“HFI”)

We report the carrying value of HFI loans at their UPB, net of unamortized premiums, discounts and other cost basis adjustments and related allowance for loan losses.  However, such loans are reported at fair value to the extent the Company has elected the fair value option (“FVO”) for such instrumentsand, as a result, such assets are subsequently measured on a fair value basis in our Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of “Net gains (losses) on loans.”

The following table provides information about the amortized cost and allowance for loan losses that were recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets related to loans that  it classified as HFI:

	At		At
	September 30,		December 31,
(in thousands)	2017		2016
Amortized cost	$	1,797	$	9,202
Net losses included in earnings		─		(3,565)
Allowance for loan losses		(828)		(828)
Loans held for investment, net	$	969	$	4,809

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,  HFI loans had UPB of $6.8million and $16.8 million, respectively. These loans had deferred fees and other basis adjustments of $5.0 million and $7.6 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. 

At September 30, 2017, the Company did not have any loans for which it elected FVO while, at December 31, 2016, the Company had one HFI loan, which had a UPB of $10.0 million and a fair value of $3.8 million,  for which it elected the FVO so as to minimize certain operational challenges associated with accounting for this loan.  During the third quarter of 2017, the Company charged off a subordinate loan receivable from a residential solar provider that filed for bankruptcy protection on March 13, 2017 that had a UPB of $11.5 million and no carrying value on the basis that further collection of this receivable was deemed remote. 

AtSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,  of the remaining HFI loans, impaired loans had a UPB of $6.4 millionand were not accruing interest.  We report impairment on HFI loans as “Other expenses” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The carrying value for HFI loans on non-accrual status was $0.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  The loan that the Company made to TC Fund I on December 31, 2015 is included among this population of loans.

AtSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no HFIloans that were 90 days or more past due in scheduled principal or interest payments were still accruing interest.

Loans Held For Sale (“HFS”)

We report the carrying value of HFS loans at the lower of cost or fair value withthe excess of the loan’s cost over its fair value recognized as a valuation allowance within “Net gains (losses) on loans” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The cost basis for HFS loans was $6.0 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016with a zero carrying valueat September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not recognize any lower of cost or market adjustments associated with any HFS loans that were recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

Unfunded Loan Commitments

There were no unfunded loan commitments at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Real Estate Owned (“REO”)

Buildings are depreciated over a period of 40 years.  Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over a period of six to seven years and land improvements are depreciated over a period of 15 years.  The Company’s REO is represented by land that is currently in process of being developed.  As a result, no depreciation expense was recognized in connection with this land investment.  Additionally, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses for the three monthsand nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Derivative Assets

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $8.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of recognized derivative assets.  See Note 6, “Derivative Instruments,” for more information.

At September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt obligations.

Asset Related Debt

Notes Payable and Other Debt – Bond Related

These debt obligations pertain to bonds that are classified as available-for-sale and that were financed by the Company through total return swap (“TRS”) agreements.  In such transactions, the Company conveys its interest in bonds to a counterparty in exchange for cash consideration while simultaneously executing TRS agreements with the same counterparty for purposes of retaining the economic risks and returns of such investments.  The conveyance of the Company’s interest in bonds was treated for reporting purposes as a secured borrowing while TRS agreements that were executed simultaneously with such conveyance did not receive financial statement recognition since such derivative instruments caused the conveyance of the Company’s interest in these bonds not to qualify for sale accounting treatment. 

At September 30, 2017, under the terms of these TRS agreements, the counterparty is required to pay the Company an amount equal to the interest payments received on the underlying bonds (UPB of $79.7 million with a weighted-average pay rate of 6.5% at September 30, 2017).  For the majority of the TRS agreements, the Company is required to pay the counterparty a rate that is based upon the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association seven-day municipal swap rate (“SIFMA”) plus a spread on the TRS agreements (notional amount of $79.3 million with a weighted-average pay rate of 2.2% at September  30, 2017) and for the remaining TRS agreements, the Company is required to pay the counterparty a rate of 1-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread (notional amount of $4.7 million with a weighted-average pay rate of 2.8% at September 30, 2017).  The Company uses the pay rate on executed TRS agreements to accrue interest on its secured borrowing obligations to its counterparty.

During the first nine months of 2017, the Company completed discounted purchases of$26.4 million of its fixed rate subordinated debt in which $4.8 million of extinguishment gains were recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of “Net gains on extinguishment of liabilities.”

Notes Payable and Other Debt

At September 30, 2017, the Company had three outstanding debt obligations that it recognized in connection with the conveyance of two bonds to a buyer with which the Company executed three TRS agreements.  In this case, the transfer of the bonds did not qualify as a sale and, as a result, the proceeds received from the buyer were recognized as three distinct debt obligations that have UPBs of $9.8 million, $5.0 million and $2.5 million as of September 30, 2017 and require the Company to pay its counterparty a rate that is based upon SIFMA or LIBOR plus a spread.  One of these debt obligations has a contractual maturity date of June 21, 2021, while the balance of such obligations will mature on December 30, 2018.  The bonds were debt obligations of two partnerships that own affordable multifamily properties and that were consolidated by the Company. 

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company financed a portion of the cost of acquiring an additional 11.85% ownership interest in SAWHF.  At September 30, 2017, this debt had a UPB of $7.8 million, has a contractual maturity date of September 8, 2020 and requires the Company to pay its counterparty a rate that is based upon the Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate (“JIBAR”) plus a spread.

Derivative Instruments

Note 6—Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments for various purposes.  Pay-fixed interest rate swaps, interest rate basis swaps and interest rate caps are used to manage interest rate risk.  TRS agreements are used by the Company to obtain, or retain, the economic risks and rewards associated with tax exempt municipal bonds.  Foreign currency forward exchange agreements are used to manage currency risk associated with debt within our International Operations segment. 

Derivative instruments that are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured on a fair value basis.  Because the Company does not designate any of its derivative instruments as fair value or cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of such instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of “Net gains on derivatives and other assets.”  Derivative assets are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other assets” and derivative liabilities are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other liabilities.”

FAIR VALUE

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2017

Fair Value [Abstract]

Fair Value

Note7—Fair Value

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the first table below in this Note.  From time to time, we may be required to measure at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis such as certain loans held for investment or investments in partnerships.  These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities based upon their contractual terms and using relevant market information.  A description of the methods used by the Company to measure fair value is provided below.  Fair value measurements are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and often require the Company to make significant judgments.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the Company’s measurement of fair value. 

GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes inputs into the valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Fair value measurements associated with assets and liabilities are categorized into one of the following levels of the hierarchy based upon how observable the valuation inputs are that are used in such measurements.

· Level 1:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

· Level 2:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similarinstruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs or significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

· Level 3:  Valuation is generated from techniques that use significant assumptions that are not observable in the market.  These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Recurring Changes in Fair Value

The following tables present the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by instrument type and based upon the level of the fair value hierarchy within which fair value measurements of such assets and liabilities are categorized.

Changes in Fair Value Levels

We monitor the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy and transfer between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 accordingly.  Observable market data includes, but is not limited to, quoted prices and market transactions.  Changes in economic conditions or market liquidity generally will drive changes in availability of observable market data.  Changes in availability of observable market data, which also may result in changing the valuation technique used, are generally the cause of transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no individually significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2, or between Levels 2 and 3.

We use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. 

For our Level 3 assets and liabilities, we use a discounted cash flow valuation technique to measure fair value.  This type of valuation technique involves developing a projection of expected future cash flows of an instrument and then discounting such cash flows using discount factors that consider the relative risk of the cash flows and the time value of money.  In applying this technique, the rate of return, or discount rate, that is utilized for such purposes reflects specific characteristics of an instrument including, but not limited to the expected term of the instrument, its debt service coverage ratio or credit quality, geographic location, investment size and other attributes:

· For performing multifamily bonds and certain TRS derivatives, the Company’s projection of expected future cash flows reflects cash flows that are contractually due over the life of an instrument.  Such projected cash flows are discounted based upon the market yield of such instruments.  For such instruments, the Company determines market yield by generally utilizing the AAA Municipal Market Data tax-exempt rate ("MMD") for each instrument’s specific term and applies a market rate risk premium spread that reflects that instrument’s specific credit characteristics, such as size, debt service coverage, state or bond type.

· For infrastructure bonds, the Company’s projection of expected future cash flows reflects a probability-weighted assessment of the expected future incremental tax revenues that would be generated through existing and future development of the mixed-use town center that support the debt service payments on the Company’s bonds.  Such projected cash flows are discounted based upon the market yield of such instruments.  For such instruments, the Company determines market yield by generally utilizing the AAA MMD tax-exempt rate for each infrastructure bond’s specific term and applies a market rate risk premium spread that reflects each instrument’s specific credit characteristics.

· For non-performing bonds, subordinate cash flow bonds and certain TRS derivatives, the Company’s projection of expected future cash flows reflects internally-generated projections over a 10-year investment period of future NOI from the underlying properties that serve as collateral for our instruments.  A terminal value, less estimated costs of sale, is then added to the projected discounted projection to reflect the remaining value that is expected to be generated at the end of the projection period.  The Company utilizes geographic and sector specific discount rates that are published by an independent real estate research organization.

Significant unobservable inputs presented in the preceding tables are those we consider significant to the fair value of the Level 3 asset or liability.  We consider unobservable inputs to be significant if, by their exclusion, the fair value of the Level 3 asset or liability would be impacted by a predetermined percentage change, or based on qualitative factors, such as nature of the instrument, type of valuation technique used and the significance of the unobservable inputs relative to other inputs used within the valuation.  Following is a description of the significant unobservable inputs that are referenced in the table:

· Market yield – is a market rate of return used to present value the future expected cash flow to arrive at the fair value of an instrument. The market yieldtypically consists of a benchmark rate component and a risk premium component. The benchmark rate component, for example, MMD or SIFMA, is generally observable within the market and is necessary to appropriately reflect the time value of money. The risk premium component reflects the amount of compensation market participants require due to the uncertainty inherent in the instrument’s cash flows resulting from risks such as credit and liquidity.  A significant decrease in this input in isolation would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement.

· Capitalization rate – is calculated as the ratio between the NOI produced by a commercial real estate property and the price for such asset.  A significant decrease in this input in isolation would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement.

· NOI annual growth rate – is the amount of future growth in NOI that the Company projects each property to generate on an annual basis over the 10-year projection period.  These annual growth estimates take into account the Company’s expectation about the future increases, or decreases, in rental rates, vacancy rates, bad debt expense, concessions and operating expenses for each property.  Generally, an increase in NOI will result in an increase to the fair value of the property.

Valuation Techniques

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash – The carrying value of these assets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and negligible credit risk inherent in them.

Accrued interest and accounts receivable – The carrying value of these assets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and negligible credit risk inherent in them.

Asset management fee receivable from TC Fund I – Fair value is measured using a discounted cash flow methodology pursuant to which contractual payments from actual or anticipated residual events are discounted based upon a market yield.

Guarantee fee receivable–  The carrying value of this receivable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature and negligible credit risk inherent in such receivables.

Loans held for investment – Fair value is measured using a discounted cash flow methodology pursuant to which contractual payments are discounted based upon market yields for similar loans.

Notes payable and other debt–  Fair value is measured by discounting contractual cash flows using a market rate of interest or by estimating the fair value of the collateral supporting the debt arrangement, taking into account credit risk. 

Subordinated debt–  The Company measures the fair value of the subordinated debt by discounting contractual cash flows based upon its estimated market yield, which was 15.0% and 14.5% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  As outlined in the table above, at September 30, 2017, the aggregate fair value was measured at $40.4 million.  At September 30, 2017, the measured fair value of this debt would have been$47.5 million and $35.1 million using a market yield of 12.5% and 17.5%, respectively.  The measured fair value of this debt is inherently judgmental and based on management’s assumption of market yields.  There can be no assurance that the Company could repurchase the remaining subordinated debt at the measured fair values reflected in the table above or that the debt would trade at that price.

Guarantee obligations–The fair value of these obligations representsan estimate of what we would pay to transfer such obligations to a third party in an orderly transaction at the measurement date.  The carrying value of these obligations, which reflects the unamortized balance of deferred guarantee fees received by the Company (a systematic and rational method of amortization is used to subsequently measure such liabilities for reporting purposes), approximates their fair value. However, as further discussed in Note 8, “Guarantees and Collateral,” the Company has guaranteed minimum yields on investment to investors in 11 LIHTC funds that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.  As a result, the unamortized balance of deferred guarantee fees associated with such funds is eliminated for financial reporting purposes.  Therefore, such amounts are not included in the carrying value of the Company’s guarantee obligations as reported in the preceding tables.  Nonetheless, the Company believes that, in measuring the fair value of these guarantees, market participants would assume that the unamortized balance of deferred guarantee fees is a reasonable proxy for what the Company would be expected to pay to assign its guarantee obligations to a third party.  Accordingly, the unamortized balance of deferred guarantee fees associated with such guarantees, while not included in the reported carrying value of the Company's guarantee obligations, is included in the disclosed fair value of the Company's guarantee obligations.

Guarantees And Collateral [Abstract]

Guarantees And Collateral

Note 8—Guarantees and Collateral

Guarantees – LIHTC Business Line 

The Company has guaranteed minimum yields on investment to investors in 11 consolidated LIHTC funds, along with two additional guaranteed LIHTC funds that are not consolidated for reporting purposes (all 13 LIHTC funds are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Guaranteed Funds”) and has agreed to indemnify the purchaser of the GP interests in those Guaranteed Funds from investor claims related to those guarantees.  The Company may have to perform under such guarantees of investor yield for losses resulting from recapture of tax credits due to foreclosure or difficulties in maintaining occupancy levels as mandated by LIHTC compliance regulations with respect to the LTPPs in which the Guaranteed Funds are invested.  Guarantees and indemnifications that relate to the 11 Guaranteed Funds that the Company consolidated for reporting purposes will expire in full by the end of 2027, while the balance of the Company’s indemnifications associated with Guaranteed Funds will expire by December 31, 2017.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the 11 Guaranteed Funds for which the Company has provided an indemnification to the purchaser of corresponding GP interests held an aggregate of $14.8 million and $14.5 million in reserves, respectively.  While these reserves are not cross collateralized, they could be utilized by each Guaranteed Fund to bring projected investor yield to its guaranteed minimum.  This could mitigate, or reduce, the amount that the Company could otherwise be required to pay under its contractual obligations.  Additionally, because the Company holds a first mortgage revenue bond from certain LTPPs in certain Guaranteed Funds, we have control over the exercise of default remedies (such as foreclosure) for certain LTPPs, thereby controlling potential exposure that we have under our guarantee and indemnification agreements. 

As bondholder of a defaulted LTPP in which one of the 11 Guaranteed Funds is an LP investor, the Company foreclosed on, and subsequently sold, the property of the defaulted LTPP in the first quarter of 2016.  This sale caused the redemption of our bond investment, as well as a loss of future tax credits and the recapture of tax credits previously taken.  As a result, the Company made a guarantee payment of $0.9 million during the second quarter of 2016.  The Company made no guarantee payments associated with the Guaranteed Funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Company does not have any recourse provisions that would enable it to recover from third parties any of the amounts that would be required to be paid under either of the aforementioned types of indemnifications.  At September 30, 2017, the Company concluded there were no expected tax credit deficiencies that were both probable and estimable that would require it to make a payment related to these indemnification agreements. 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $7.7 million and $8.6 million, respectively, of unamortized fees related to indemnifications associated with the 11 Guaranteed Funds.  These unamortized fees are included in the Company’s measurement of its common shareholders’ equity.  However, for presentation purposes, these unamortized fees are eliminated in consolidation against the 11 Guaranteed Funds’ prepaid guarantee fee asset. 

The Company has agreed to indemnify specific investors in non-Guaranteed Funds related to the performance on certain LTPPs.  If a third party fails to perform on its financial obligation relating to the property’s performance, the Company will be required to indemnify impacted investors.  Such indemnities will expire by December 31, 2017.

On December 29, 2015, as part of TC Fund I’s acquisition of a portfolio of limited partnership investments, TEI agreed to make mandatory loans to TC Fund I for distribution to the investor involved in this transaction in the amount of 95% of the excess, if any, of the projected tax credits for years 2016 to 2020 over the tax credits actually allocated to the investor.  In addition, until December 31, 2025, TEI agreed to make mandatory loans to TC Fund I for distribution to the investor in the amount of tax credits previously claimed from 2016 to 2020 that are subsequently recaptured or otherwise reduced or lost, together with associated costs.  Mandatory loans are limited in amount to 70% of projected tax credits in any year ($109.6 million of total maximum exposure) and may be subject to certain other limitations. In addition to these limitations, the investor will absorb 5% of any loss of tax credits.  On this basis, the Company recognized a $4.2 million liability in connection with TEI’s mandatory loan performance obligation.  At September 30, 2017, the Company had $2.9 million of unamortized fees related to the mandatory loan performance obligation.  However, if the Company were ever required to make a mandatory loan to TC Fund I, the Company would have the right to recover such payment to the extent there were available cash flows from TC Fund I to provide for such reimbursement.  During the third quarter of 2017, the Company made a mandatory loan to TC Fund I of $0.6 million that was fully repaid by TC Fund I during such reporting period.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $20.0 million and $25.6 million, respectively, of collateral that was primarily pledged towards the guarantee exposure associated with the 11 Guaranteed Funds and TC Fund I.  If we are required to perform under our guarantees, we could, subject to third party consent, access or be reimbursed from this collateral.

On November 10, 2016, the Company acquired a 0.01% general partnership interest in an entity that owns an affordable multifamily property that served as collateral for one of our bond investments.  This property is an investment included within the 11 consolidated Guaranteed Funds.  As part of this acquisition, the Company guaranteed the GP’s performance in connection with its obligations under the partnership agreement, which requires the GP to pay the limited partner any potential difference caused by the actual tax credits delivered being less than projected (including recapture of credits previously taken if caused by the actions of the GP).  This performance guarantee does not increase maximum exposure amounts that are disclosed in the table below associated with indemnification agreements that the Company executed in connection with the Guaranteed Funds.  Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 13, “Consolidated Funds and Ventures,” for additional information.

The following table provides information about the maximum exposure associated with the Company’s guarantee and indemnification agreements that we executed in connection with the Guaranteed Funds, TC Fund I and certain LTPPs:

	At				At
	September 30, 2017				December 31, 2016

LTPPs		536		3		536		12

⁽¹⁾ The Company’s maximum exposure represents the maximum loss the Company could incur under such agreements but is not indicative of the likelihood of expected loss under such agreements.

⁽²⁾ The maximum exposure includes $388.4 million related to the 11 Guaranteed Funds we consolidated at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  See Note 13, “Consolidated Funds and Ventures,” for more information.   

Guarantees – Energy Capital Business Line 

On November 7, 2016, as part of the formation of REL, the Company agreed to guarantee all payment and performance obligations of its subsidiary, MEC, to the venture.  Performance under this guaranty would be required by a breach of terms under the management agreement entered into by MEC.  Because the Company controls MEC, it does not expect that it would, under any circumstance, ever have to perform under this guarantee.  As a result, the Company believes that there are no potential future payments to make under this guarantee.  Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3, “Investments in Partnerships and Ventures,” for more information about our Solar Ventures.

Operating Leases

On September 30, 2017, the Company had four non-cancelable operating leases that expire in 2017, 2020 and 2024.  These leases require the Company to pay property taxes, maintenance and other costs.  The Company recognized rental expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Litigation and Other Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various litigation matters or may have other claims made against it.  Such legal proceedings may include claims for substantial or indeterminate compensatory or punitive damages, or for injunctive or declaratory relief.     

The Company establishes reserves for litigation matters or other loss contingencies when a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated.  Once established, reserves may be adjusted when new information is obtained.  At September 30, 2017, we had no significant litigation matters and we were not aware of any other claims that we believe would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

⁽¹⁾ Includes common shares issued and outstanding, as well as deferred shares of non-employee directors that have vested but are not issued and outstanding. 

⁽²⁾ At September 30, 2017, 410,000 stock options were in the money and had a potential dilutive share impact of 383,299 and 382,088 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the adjustment to net income for the awards classified as liabilities caused the common stock equivalents to be anti-dilutive. 

⁽³⁾ At September 30, 2016, 410,000 stock options were in the money and had a potential dilutive share impact of 375,001 and 371,523 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  In addition, 9,468 unvested employee deferred shares had a potential dilutive weighted-average share impact of 2,730 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  There was no dilutive impact for the three months ended September 30, 2016.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the adjustment to net income for the awards classified as liabilities caused the common stock equivalents to be anti-dilutive.    

⁽⁴⁾ For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, all options were vested and in the money as of January 1, 2017 and thus none were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the weighted-average number of options excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share was 2,222, either because of their anti-dilutive effect (i.e. options that were not in the money) or because the option had contingent vesting requirements.  No options were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Common Shares

On  December 1, 2016, the Board authorized a 2017 share repurchase program (“2017 Plan”) for up to 580,000 shares and the Company adopted a further Rule 10b5-1 Plan implementing the Board’s authorization.  During the third quarter of 2017, the Company purchased 48,956 shares at an average price of $23.73.BetweenOctober 1, 2017 and November 2, 2017, the Company repurchased 21,000 shares at an average price of $24.85.  Effective at the filing of this Report and until modified by further action by the Board, the maximum price at which management is currentlyauthorized to purchase shares is $26.75 per share. 

Effective May 5, 2015, the Company adopted the Rights Plan to help preserve the Company’s net operating losses (“NOLs”).  In connection with adopting the Rights Plan, the Company declared a distribution of one right per common share to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2015.  The rights do not trade apart from the current common shares until the distribution date, as defined in the Rights Plan.  Under the Rights Plan, the acquisition by an investor (or group of related investors) of greater than a 4.9% stake in the Company, could result in all existing shareholders other than the new 4.9% holder having the right to acquire new shares for a nominal cost, thereby significantly diluting the ownership interest of the acquiring person.  The Rights Plan will run for a period of five years, or until the Board determines the plan is no longer required, whichever comes first.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

Note  11—Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has stock-based compensation plans (“Plans”) for Non-employee Directors (“Non-employee Directors’ Stock-Based Compensation Plans”) and stock-based incentive compensation plans for employees (“Employees’ Stock-Based Compensation Plans”). 

The following table provides information related to total compensation expense that was recorded for these Plans:

	For the three months ended				For the nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,
(in thousands)	2017		2016		2017		2016

Non-employee Directors’ Stock-Based Compensation Plans		164		89		341		236
Total	$	1,066	$	119	$	2,822	$	1,815

Employees’ Stock-Based Compensation Plans

AtSeptember 30, 2017,  there were 381,345 share awards available to be issued under Employees’ Stock-Based Compensation Plans.  While each existing Employees’ Stock-Based Compensation Plan has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, not all of the Plans have been approved by the Company’s shareholders.  The Plans that have not been approved by the Company’s shareholders are currently restricted to the issuance of only stock options.  As a result, of the 381,345 shares available under the plans, only 17,205 are available to be issued in the form of either stock options or shares; all remaining share awards must be issued in the form of stock options. 

Employee Common Stock Options

The Company measures the fair value of unvested options with time-based vesting and all vested options (both time-based and performance based) using a lattice model for purposes of recognizing compensation expense.  The Company believes the lattice model provides a better estimate of the fair value of these options as, according to FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, “the design of a lattice model more fully reflects the substantive characteristics of a particular employee share option.”  Because options granted with stock price targets contain a “market condition” under FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to simulate future stock price movements for the Company.  The Company believes a Monte Carlo simulation provides a better estimate of the fair value for unvested options granted with specific stock price targets as the model’s flexibility allows for the fair value to account for the vesting provisions as well as the different probabilities of stock price outcomes.  All options were vested as of September 30, 2017.

The following table provides information related to option activity under the Employees’ Stock-Based Compensation Plans:

⁽¹⁾ Intrinsic value is based on outstanding options.

⁽²⁾ Only options that were amortized based on a vesting schedule have a liability balance.  These options were 410,000;  410,000; and 416,211; at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and January 1, 2016, respectively.

The value of employee options increased by $2.5 million during thenine months ended September 30, 2017, due to the increase in market value of our stock price.  This increase was recognized as additional compensation expense. 

Employee Deferred Shares

All of the Company’s employee deferred shares were vested and issued.

Non-Employee Directors’ Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Non-employee Directors’ Stock-based Compensation Plans authorize a total of 1,130,000 shares for issuance, of which 408,967 were available to be issued at September 30, 2017.  The Non-employee Directors’ Stock-based Compensation Plans provide for grants of non-qualified common stock options, common shares, restricted shares and deferred shares.

CONSOLIDATED FUNDS AND VENTURES

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2017

Consolidated Funds and Ventures [Abstract]

Consolidated Funds and Ventures

Note  13—Consolidated Funds and Ventures

Due to the Company generally having a minimal ownership interest in certain consolidated entities, the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, equity in losses from those entities’ unconsolidated LTPPs and the losses allocated to the noncontrolling interests of the consolidated entities have been separately identified in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations. Third-party ownership in these CFVs is recorded in equity as “Noncontrolling interests in CFVs and IHS PM.”

Guaranteed Funds

As further discussed in Note 8, “Guarantees and Collateral,” the Company has guaranteed minimum yields on investment to investors in 11 Guaranteed Funds that are consolidated by the Company for reporting purposes.  The Guaranteed Funds’ primary assets are their investments in LTPPs, which are the owners of the affordable housing properties (see Investments in LTPPs in the Asset Summary below).  The Guaranteed Funds account for these investments using the equity method of accounting.   

Consolidated Property Partnerships

At September 30, 2017, the Company is the general partner in four LTPPs in which it holds equity interests ranging from 0.01% - 1.00%.  Because the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the four entities have been consolidated by the Company for financial reporting purposes at September 30, 2017.  The investors in these consolidated entities have no recourse against the assets of the Company.   

Asset Summary:

The following tablesummarizes the assets of the CFVs:

The assets of the CFVs are restricted for use by the specific owner entity and are not available for the Company’s general use.

Investments in LTPPs

The Guaranteed Funds’ limited partner investments in LTPPs are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  The following table provides the assets and liabilities of the LTPPs:

Total liabilities of the LTPPs (1)		928,262		937,335

⁽¹⁾ The assets of the LTPPs are primarily real estate and the liabilities are predominantly mortgage debt.

The Company’s exposure to loss related to the Guaranteed Funds and the underlying LTPPs has two elements:  (i) exposure to loss associated with our financial guaranteesas described above and (ii) exposure to loss related to the Company’s investments in bonds that are dependent upon repayment by certain LTPPs within the Guaranteed Funds. 

Although the Company does not anticipate having to perform under its guarantees, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with our guarantees was $388.4 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016; while the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to its investments in bonds was $88.8 million and $87.6 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K”).

The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, commitments and contingencies, and revenues and expenses.  Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, including the determination of fair values for bonds, derivative instruments, guarantee obligations, and certain assets and liabilities of CFVs.  Management has also made significant estimates in the determination of impairment on bonds and real estate investments.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of entities that are considered to be variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as well as those entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Equity investments in unconsolidated entities where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of the entity, but is not considered the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

⁽¹⁾ The Company’s maximum exposure represents the maximum loss the Company could incur under such agreements but is not indicative of the likelihood of expected loss under such agreements.

⁽²⁾ The maximum exposure includes $388.4 million related to the 11 Guaranteed Funds we consolidated at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  See Note 13, “Consolidated Funds and Ventures,” for more information.   

Guarantees – Energy Capital Business Line 

On November 7, 2016, as part of the formation of REL, the Company agreed to guarantee all payment and performance obligations of its subsidiary, MEC, to the venture.  Performance under this guaranty would be required by a breach of terms under the management agreement entered into by MEC.  Because the Company controls MEC, it does not expect that it would, under any circumstance, ever have to perform under this guarantee.  As a result, the Company believes that there are no potential future payments to make under this guarantee.  Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3, “Investments in Partnerships and Ventures,” for more information about our Solar Ventures.

Summary of Net Income to Common Shareholders

The following table provides information about net income to common shareholders as well as provides information that pertains to weighted-average share counts that were used in per share calculations as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

	For the three months ended				For the nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,

Common stock equivalents (2), (3), (4)		─		375		─		3
Diluted weighted-average shares		5,871		6,549		5,890		6,331

⁽¹⁾ Includes common shares issued and outstanding, as well as deferred shares of non-employee directors that have vested but are not issued and outstanding. 

⁽²⁾ At September 30, 2017, 410,000 stock options were in the money and had a potential dilutive share impact of 383,299 and 382,088 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the adjustment to net income for the awards classified as liabilities caused the common stock equivalents to be anti-dilutive. 

⁽³⁾ At September 30, 2016, 410,000 stock options were in the money and had a potential dilutive share impact of 375,001 and 371,523 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  In addition, 9,468 unvested employee deferred shares had a potential dilutive weighted-average share impact of 2,730 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  There was no dilutive impact for the three months ended September 30, 2016.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the adjustment to net income for the awards classified as liabilities caused the common stock equivalents to be anti-dilutive.    

⁽⁴⁾ For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, all options were vested and in the money as of January 1, 2017 and thus none were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the weighted-average number of options excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share was 2,222, either because of their anti-dilutive effect (i.e. options that were not in the money) or because the option had contingent vesting requirements.  No options were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
