The accompanying notes are an integral part of this statement. 9 CENTURY PACIFIC HOUSING FUND-I a California Limited Partnership NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2002 NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS ORGANIZATION: Century Pacific Housing Fund I, a California limited partnership (the "Partnership" or "CPHF-I") was formed on October 6, 1986 for the purpose of raising capital by offering and selling limited partnership interests and then acquiring limited partnership interests in partnerships (the "Operating Partnerships") which acquire and operate existing residential apartment rental properties (the "Properties"). The general partners of the Partnership are Century Pacific Capital Corporation, a California corporation ("CPCC"), and Irwin Jay Deutch, an individual (collectively, the "General Partners"). The General Partners and affiliates of the General Partners (the "General Partners and Affiliates") have interests in the Partnership and receive compensation from the Partnership and the Operating Partnerships (Note 3). The Properties qualify for the "Low-Income Housing Tax Credit" established by Section 42 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Low-Income Housing Tax Credit") and one Property qualifies for Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits (collectively the "Tax Credits"). These Properties are leveraged low-income multifamily residential complexes and some receive one or more forms of assistance from federal, state or local governments, or agencies (the "Government Agencies") while others do not receive any subsidy from Government Agencies although some may have mortgage loans insured by a Government Agency. In July 1987, the Partnership began raising capital from sales of limited partnership interests at $1,000 per interest ("unit"). The limited partnership offering closed in April 1988, with 22,315 units having been sold. The Partnership acquired limited partnership interest ranging from 90% to 97% in 21 Operating Partnerships, which have invested in rental property. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Century Pacific Housing Fund I (the "Company") as of June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002(the March 31, 2002 financial information included herein has been extracted from the Company's audited financial statements on Form 10-K) and for the three months ended June 30, 2002 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements have been made. The statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in 10 conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included on form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following are the Partnership's significant accounting policies: Method of Accounting for Investments in Operating Partnerships: The Partnership uses the equity method to account for its investment in the Operating Partnerships in which it has invested (Note 4). Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is carried at cost and adjusted for the Partnership's share of the Operating Partnerships' results of operations and by cash distributions received. Equity in the loss of each Operating Partnership allocated to the Partnership is not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would become negative. Basis of Accounting: The Partnership maintains its financial records on the tax basis. Memorandum entries, while not recorded in the records of the Partnership, have been made in the financial statements to reflect generally accepted accounting principles. On August 7, 1991, management of the Partnership changed from a calendar year end to a fiscal year end of March 31 for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Partnership's quarterly periods end June 30, September 30, and December 31. The Operating Partnerships, for financial reporting purposes, have a calendar year. The Partnership, as well as the Operating Partnerships, have a calendar year for income tax purposes. Syndication Costs: Public offering costs have been recorded as a direct reduction to the capital accounts of the Limited Partners. Organization, Acquisition and Other Costs: Costs incurred in organizing the Partnership and expenditures made by the Partnership in connection with its acquiring limited partnership interests in Operating Partnerships are deferred and amortized over a period of sixty months on a straight-line basis. Costs paid by the Partnership for organization of the Operating Partnerships as well as direct costs of acquiring Properties, including acquisition fees and reimbursable acquisition expenses paid to the General Partners, have been capitalized as investments in Operating Partnerships. Other fees and expenses of the Partnership are recognized as expenses in the period the related services are received. 11 Income Taxes: No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements since such taxes and/or the recapture of the Tax Credit benefits received, if any, are the liability of the individual partners. The Partnership uses the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes. NOTE 3 - TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES OF THE GENERAL PARTNERS: The General Partners of the Partnership are CPCC and Irwin Jay Deutch. The original limited partner of the Partnership is Westwood Associates whose partners are Irwin Jay Deutch and key employees of CPCC. Century Pacific Placement Corporation ("CPPC"), an affiliate of the General Partners, served as the broker-dealer-manager for sales of limited partnership interests in the Partnership. Century Pacific Realty Corporation ("CPRC"), an affiliate of CPCC, is a general partner in each of the Operating Partnerships. The General Partners have an aggregate one percent interest in the Partnership, as does the original limited partner. CPRC has a one percent interest in each of the Operating Partnerships, except for one Operating Partnership in which it has a one-half percent interest. The General Partners and Affiliates receive compensation and reimbursement of expenses from the Partnership, as set forth in the limited partnership agreement, for their services in managing the Partnership and its business. The General Partners and Affiliates also receive compensation and reimbursement of expenses from the Operating Partnerships. This compensation and reimbursement includes services provided to the Partnership during its offering stage, acquisition stage, operational stage, and termination or refinancing stage. 12 NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIPS: The following is a summary of the Partnership's investments in Operating Partnerships:
