MF Properties

To facilitate its investment strategy of acquiring additional tax-exempt mortgage bonds secured by MF Properties, the Company has acquired through its various subsidiaries 99% limited partner positions in five limited partnerships and 100% member positions in four limited liability companies that own the MF Properties.  The financial statements of these properties are consolidated with those of the Company.  The general partners of these partnerships are unaffiliated parties and their 1% ownership interest in these limited partnerships is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as non-controlling interests.  The Company expects each of these MF Properties to eventually be sold either to a not-for-profit entity or in connection with a syndication of LIHTCs. The Company expects to purchase tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by the new property owners as part of the restructuring. As of December 31, 2011, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries held interests in twelve entities that own MF Properties containing a total of 1,772 rental units, of which three are located in Ohio and subject to a sales agreement, one is located in Nebraska, two are located in Kentucky, one is located in Indiana, one is located in Virginia, one is located in Georgia, one is located in North Carolina, and two are located in Texas.

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company purchased a minority interest equal to 8.7% ownership in 810 Schutte Road LLC ("Eagle Village"), a 511 bed student housing facility located in Evansville, Indiana. The minority interest investment totaled approximately $1.1 million and was presented in other assets. There was no gain or loss recorded when the Partnership acquired the remaining ownership interest as the approximate $1.1 million estimated fair value of the 8.7% ownership had not changed. In June 2011, the Partnership acquired the remaining ownership interest in Eagle Village. Approximately $3.1 million of cash on hand plus a conventional mortgage of approximately $8.9 million was used to purchase the remaining ownership. The mortgage loan carries a variable interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.75% but will not be less than 3.5%. On December 31, 2011 this rate was 3.5%. This mortgage matures on June 1, 2013. Eagle Village returned $125,000 to the Company as a preferred return on their investment. The transaction is eliminated upon consolidation. Eagle Village is wholly owned by a subsidiary of the Partnership and was reported as an MF Property. The Partnership plans to operate the property as a student housing facility. Once stabilized as a student housing property, the Company will seek to restructure the ownership and capital structure through the sale of the property to a student housing not-for-profit entity. The Company anticipates it will purchase tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued as part of such a restructuring.

In March 2011, the Partnership purchased The Arboretum on Farnam Drive ("Arboretum"), a 145 unit independent senior living facility located in Omaha, Nebraska, for approximately $20.0 million plus transaction expenses of approximately $267,000 which is recorded within real estate operating expenses. The purchase price was funded through a conventional mortgage of $17.5 million and cash on hand. The mortgage payable is with Omaha State Bank, carries a 5.25% fixed rate and matures on March 31, 2014. The Partnership intends to restructure the property operations by shifting from an entrance fee rental income model utilized by the prior ownership to a current market rent model. Upon lease-up and stabilization of the property, projected to occur within the next 12 months, the Partnership expects to sell the property to a 501(c)3 not-for-profit entity and acquire tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds collateralized by the property.

Individually these acquisitions are not material but in the aggregate they must be disclosed pursuant to the business combinations guidance. A condensed balance sheet at the date of acquisition for each of the 2011 acquisitions is included below.

Eagle Village added approximately $945,000 in total revenue and approximately $257,000 net loss to the Partnership since it was acquired on June 29, 2011. Arboretum added approximately $1.8 million in total revenue and approximately $695,000 net loss to the Partnership since it was acquired on March 31, 2011.

In February 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on the bonds secured by DeCordova and Weatherford and one of the Partnership's subsidiaries took 100% ownership interest in these limited liability companies. Both properties are reported as MF Properties. The following is a discussion of the circumstances related to the DeCordova and Weatherford properties.

Residences at DeCordova. This property is a senior (55+) affordable housing project located in Granbury, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.  As of December 31, 2011, the property had 72 units leased out of a total available 76, or 95% physical occupancy. As of December 31, 2010, the property had 65 units leased out of total available units of 76, or 86% physical occupancy.  Given the projected demand in the local market, an additional 34 units will be constructed adjacent to the first phase with a projected completion date of August 2012.  There is pre-construction leasing interest for the additional units and we expect rapid stabilization of the additional units.  Upon completion of construction and lease up, the Partnership will consider its options in order to recoup its investment in the overall project.

Residences at Weatherford. Residences at Weatherford are currently under construction and will contain 76 units upon completion. This property is a senior (55+) affordable housing project located in Weatherford, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The construction of this property has begun and the expected completion date in the second quarter of 2012. The Partnership intends to fund the construction and stabilization of the property. Further, the Partnership expects to operate the property as a market rate property and will evaluate its options in order to recoup its investment.

In July 2011, the Company obtained a $6.5 million construction loan secured by the DeCordova and Weatherford properties. This construction loan will be used to fund the completion of Weatherford and the expansion of DeCordova. The construction loan is with an unrelated third party and carries a fixed annual interest rate of 5.9%, maturing on July 28, 2015. The balance of this note at December 31, 2011 is $4.7 million. This agreement requires $500,000 to be held by the Company as restricted cash.

In June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby four of the MF Properties were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity. As the buyer has no equity capital in this transaction and the property operations are the current support for the debt service, the Company, in substance, remains the owner for accounting purposes. As such, the Company will continue to consolidate the Ohio Properties as if the sale was not completed. The properties will continue to be presented as MF Properties and no gain will be recognized until such time as the transaction meets the criteria for derecognition of the properties and gain recognition can be accounted for as a sale (Note 3).
 
Consolidated VIE Properties

In addition to the MF Properties, the Company consolidates the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Consolidated VIEs in accordance with the guidance on consolidations.  Although the assets of the VIEs are consolidated, the Company has no ownership interest in the Consolidated VIEs other than to the extent they serve as collateral for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership.  The results of operations of those properties are recorded by the Company in consolidation but any net income or loss from these properties does not accrue to the unitholders or the general partner, but is instead included in "Unallocated deficit of variable interest entities.”

As discussed in Note 4, as the result of the foreclosures of the bonds on Residences at DeCordova and on Residences at Weatherford and the merger of the entity owning Iona Lakes, these three entities are no longer consolidated as Consolidated VIEs. DeCordova and Weatherford are now reflected as MF Properties and Iona Lakes is now reflected as an investment in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and other assets.

The Company consolidated the following properties owned by the VIEs in continuing operations as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:
