OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,
a California Limited Partnership
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of the management of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information included therein. Certain information and footnote disclosures presented in the Partnership’s annual consolidated financial statements are not included in these interim financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011. The Partnership evaluates subsequent events up to the date it files its Form 10-Q with the SEC.
Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its majority- and wholly-owned limited liability companies (see notes 3, 4 and 5) and those variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Partnership is the primary beneficiary, as discussed below in “Significant Accounting Policies”. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Partnership is in the business of providing mortgage lending services and manages its business as one operating segment.
On January 1, 2010, the Partnership adopted new consolidation accounting guidance related to variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The new guidance eliminated the concept of qualified special purpose entities (“QSPEs”) that were previously exempt from consolidation, and introduced a new framework for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. Under the new guidance, the primary beneficiary is the party that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (2) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Certain reclassifications, not affecting previously reported net income or total partner capital, have been made to the previously issued consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates relate principally to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, including the valuation of impaired loans, the valuation of real estate held for sale and investment, and the estimate of the environmental remediation liability (see note 4). Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
Income Taxes
No provision for federal and state income taxes is made in the consolidated financial statements since the Partnership is not a taxable entity. Accordingly, any income or loss is included in the tax returns of the partners.
OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Partnership has elected to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in other expenses. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, at March 31, 2011 is zero. The amount of tax benefits that would impact the effective rate, if recognized, is expected to be zero. The Partnership does not anticipate any significant changes with respect to unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. With few exceptions, the Partnership is no longer subject to federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006.
Variable Interest Entities
A variable interest entity (VIE) is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets. These entities: lack sufficient equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; have equity owners who either do not have voting rights or lack the ability to make significant decisions affecting the entity’s operations; and/or have equity owners that do not have an obligation to absorb the entity’s losses or the right to receive the entity’s returns.
In June 2009, the FASB issued amended accounting principles that changed the accounting for VIEs which became effective for the Company as of January 1, 2010. These principles were codified as ASU No. 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860)—Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” and ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810)—Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” ASU 2009-17 amended the VIEs Subsections of ASC Subtopic 810-10 to require former qualified special purpose entities (QSPEs) to be evaluated for consolidation and also changed the approach to determining a VIE’s primary beneficiary (“PB”) and required companies to more frequently reassess whether they must consolidate VIEs. Under the new guidance, the PB is the party that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (2) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
To assess whether the Partnership has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, the Partnership considers all facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes, first, identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and second, identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities. In general, the parties that make the most significant decisions affecting the VIE (such as asset managers, collateral managers, servicers, or owners of call options or liquidation rights over the VIE’s assets) or have the right to unilaterally remove those decision-makers are deemed to have the power to direct the activities of a VIE.
To assess whether the Partnership has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Partnership considers all of its economic interests, including debt and equity investments, servicing fees, and derivative or other arrangements deemed to be variable interests in the VIE. This assessment requires that the Partnership apply judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. Factors considered in assessing significance include: the design of the VIE, including its capitalization structure; subordination of interests; payment priority; relative share of interests held across various classes within the VIE’s capital structure; and the reasons why the interests are held by the Partnership.
The Partnership performs on-going reassessments of: (1) whether any entities previously evaluated under the majority voting-interest framework have become VIEs, based on certain events, and are therefore subject to the VIE consolidation framework; and (2) whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Partnership’s involvement with a VIE cause the Partnership’s consolidation conclusion regarding the VIE to change.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The Partnership evaluates its interest in each VIE. When the Partnership is considered the primary beneficiary, the VIE’s assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests are consolidated and included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 6 — Real Estate Held for Investment for further details on the Partnership’s consolidated VIE.
Loans Secured by Trust Deeds
Loans secured by trust deeds are stated at the principal amount outstanding. The Partnership’s portfolio consists primarily of commercial real estate loans generally collateralized by first, second and third deeds of trust. Interest income on loans is accrued by the simple interest method. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the borrowers are past due greater than ninety days or when full payment of principal and interest is not expected. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest remains accrued until the loan becomes current, is paid off or is foreclosed upon. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Cash receipts on nonaccrual loans are recorded as interest income, except when such payments are specifically designated as principal reduction or when management does not believe the Partnership’s investment in the loan is fully recoverable.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of credit losses inherent in the Partnership’s loan portfolio that have been incurred as of the balance-sheet date. The allowance is established through a provision for loan losses which is charged to expense. Additions to the allowance are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total allowance after credit losses and loan growth. Credit exposures determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. Cash received on previously charged off amounts is recorded as a recovery to the allowance. The overall allowance consists of two primary components, specific reserves related to impaired loans and general reserves for inherent losses related to loans that are not impaired.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the original agreement. Loans determined to be impaired are individually evaluated for impairment. When a loan is impaired, the Partnership measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, it may measure impairment based on a loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is collateral dependent if the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral.
A restructuring of a debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the Partnership for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. Restructured loans typically present an elevated level of credit risk as the borrowers are not able to perform according to the original contractual terms. Loans that are reported as TDR’s are considered impaired and measured for impairment as described above.
The determination of the general reserve for loans that are not impaired is based on estimates made by management, to include, but not limited to, consideration of historical losses by portfolio segment, internal asset classifications, and qualitative factors to include economic trends in the Partnership’s service areas, industry experience and trends, geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, the Partnership’s underwriting policies, the character of the loan portfolio, and probable losses inherent in the portfolio taken as a whole.
The Partnership maintains a separate allowance for each portfolio segment (loan type). These portfolio segments include commercial real estate, improved and unimproved land, condominium, and single-family (1-4 units) loans. The allowance for loan losses attributable to each portfolio segment, which includes both impaired loans and loans that are not impaired, is combined to determine the Partnership’s overall allowance, which is included on the consolidated balance sheet.

Real Estate Held for Sale and Investment
Real estate held for sale and investment includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and is initially stated at the property’s estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.
Depreciation of real estate properties held for investment is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of buildings and improvements (5-39 years). Depreciation of tenant improvements is provided on the straight-line method over the lives of the related leases. Costs related to the improvement of real estate held for sale and investment are capitalized, whereas those costs related to holding the property are expensed.
The Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of real estate held for investment to expected future cash flows as determined by internally or third party generated valuations for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are reduced to fair value.
The Partnership reclassifies real estate properties from held for investment to held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: 1) Management commits to a plan to sell the property; 2) The property is available for immediate sale in its present condition; 3) An active program to locate a buyer has been initiated; 4) The sale of the property is probable and the transfer of the property is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year; and 5) Actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn.
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely, and, as a result, the Partnership decides not to sell a real estate property classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified to held for investment. The property is then measured individually at the lower of its carrying amount, adjusted for depreciation or amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held for investment, or its fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
ASU No. 2011-01
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20”. The amendments in this ASU temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructuring in ASU No. 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. That guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011.
ASU No. 2011-02
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) – A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”. The amendments in this ASU state that in evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties and further clarifies when these conditions have been met. In addition, the amendments clarify that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor’s guidance on restructuring of payables when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.

Variable rate loans use as indices the one-year, five-year and 10-year Treasury Constant Maturity Index (0.30%, 2.24% and 3.47%, respectively, as of March 31, 2011), the prime rate (3.25% as of March 31, 2011) or the weighted average cost of funds index for Eleventh District savings institutions (1.47% as of March 31, 2011) or include terms whereby the interest rate is adjusted at a specific later date. Premiums over these indices have varied from 2.0% to 6.5% depending upon market conditions at the time the loan is made.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership’s loans secured by deeds of trust on real property collateral located in Northern California totaled approximately 42% ($50,965,000) and 39% ($60,854,000), respectively, of the loan portfolio. The Northern California region (which includes Monterey, Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Inyo counties and all counties north) is a large geographic area which has a diversified economic base. The ability of borrowers to repay loans is influenced by the economic strength of the region and the impact of prevailing market conditions on the value of real estate. In addition, as of March 31, 2011 approximately 65% of the Partnership’s mortgage loans were secured by real estate located in the states of California, Arizona and Nevada, which have experienced dramatic reductions in real estate values over the past three years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership extended to April 30, 2011 the maturity date of one loan with a principal balance of approximately $1,088,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership extended to December 31, 2011 the maturity date of one loan with a principal balance of $800,000.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $111,109,000 (91.7%) and $147,451,000 (93.5%) of Partnership loans are interest-only and require the borrower to make a “balloon payment” on the principal amount upon maturity of the loan. To the extent that a borrower has an obligation to pay mortgage loan principal in a large lump sum payment, its ability to satisfy this obligation may be dependent upon its ability to sell the property, obtain suitable refinancing or otherwise raise a substantial cash amount. As a result, these loans involve a higher risk of default than fully amortizing loans. Borrowers occasionally are not able to pay the full amount due at the maturity date. The Partnership may allow these borrowers to continue making the regularly scheduled monthly interest payments for certain periods of time to assist the borrower in meeting the balloon payment obligation without formally filing a notice of default. These loans for which the principal is due and payable, but the borrower has failed to make such payment of principal are referred to as “past maturity loans”. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership had twenty-three and twenty-seven past maturity loans totaling approximately $86,060,000 and $122,402,000, respectively.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership had twenty-one and twenty-four impaired loans, respectively, that were impaired, delinquent in monthly payments greater than ninety days and/or in the process of foreclosure totaling approximately $89,779,000 (74%) and $121,565,000 (77%), respectively. This included eighteen and twenty-two past maturity loans totaling $82,743,000 (68%) and $119,084,000 (76%), respectively. In addition, five loans totaling approximately $3,318,000 (3%) and $3,318,000 (2%), respectively, were past maturity but current in monthly payments as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively (combined total of impaired and past maturity loans of $93,096,000 (77%) and $124,883,000 (79%), respectively). Of the impaired and past maturity loans, approximately $23,012,000 (19%) and $46,078,000 (29%), respectively, were in the process of foreclosure and $45,106,000 (37%) and $53,606,000 (34%), respectively, involved borrowers who were in bankruptcy as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, one delinquent and past maturity loan with a principal balance of $1,350,000 was paid off in full by the borrower. In addition, in April 2011 (subsequent to quarter end), the Partnership filed a notice of default on one delinquent loan with a principal balance of $2,200,000 as of March 31, 2011.
The Partnership foreclosed on four loans during the three months ended March 31, 2011 with aggregate principal balances totaling $34,832,000 and obtained the properties via the trustee’s sales (see Notes 5 and 6 for further details).

The purpose of the joint venture is to acquire, own and operate certain industrial land and buildings located in Santa Clara, California that was owned by the Partnership. The property was subject to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 24, 2007 (the “Sale Agreement”), as amended, between the Partnership, as seller, and Nanook, as buyer. During the course of due diligence under the Sale Agreement, it was discovered that the property is contaminated and that remediation and monitoring may be required. The

It is the Partnership’s intent to sell the majority of its real estate properties held for investment, but expected sales are not probable to occur within the next year.
Depreciation expense was approximately $654,000 and $343,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by an industrial building located in Chico, California in the amount of $8,500,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. In addition, advances made on the loan (for items such as legal fees and delinquent property taxes) in the total amount of approximately $588,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property. The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected in the next one year period.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on a participated, first mortgage loan secured by a condominium complex located in Miami, Florida with a principal balance to the Partnership of approximately $26,257,000 and obtained an undivided interest in the properties with the other two lenders (which included the General Partner) via the trustee’s sale. The Partnership and other lenders formed a new limited liability company, TOTB Miami, LLC (“TOTB”), to own and operate the complex. The complex consists of three buildings, two of which have been renovated and are being leased, and in which 168 units remain unsold (the “Point” and “South” buildings), and one which contains 160 vacant units that have not been renovated (the “North” building). Based on a new appraisal obtained in September 2010, it was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s total investment in the loan (including a previously established loan loss allowance of $10,188,000) and an additional charge to provision for loan losses of approximately $450,000 was recorded during the quarter (total charge-off of $10,638,000). The Point and South building units are classified as held for investment as sales are not expected in the next one year period. The North building is classified as held for sale as it is being actively marketed and a sale is expected within the next year (see Note 5). See further details below under TOTB Miami, LLC.

The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of DarkHorse have been consolidated into the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations of the Partnership.

Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Partnership is to receive an allocation of the profits and losses of TOTB based on the allocation of the distribution priorities contained in the agreement (approximately 57% as of March 31, 2011).

NOTE 7 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
In consideration of the management services rendered to the Partnership, Owens Financial Group, Inc. (“OFG”), the General Partner, is entitled to receive from the Partnership a management fee payable monthly, subject to a maximum of 2.75% per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Partnership’s mortgage loans.
All of the Partnership’s loans are serviced by OFG, in consideration for which OFG receives up to 0.25% per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loans.
OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,
a California Limited Partnership
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
OFG, at its sole discretion may, on a monthly basis, adjust the management and servicing fees as long as they do not exceed the allowable limits calculated on an annual basis. Even though the fees for a month may exceed 1/12 of the maximum limits, at the end of the calendar year the sum of the fees collected for each of the 12 months must be equal to or less than the stated limits. Management fees amounted to approximately $755,000 and $574,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Servicing fees amounted to approximately $82,000 and $132,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership owed management and servicing fees to OFG in the amount of approximately $596,000 and $480,000, respectively.
The maximum servicing fees were paid to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the management fees would have been $906,000 (increase of $151,000), which would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 42.1% and net loss allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.002 from a loss of $0.002. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2010, the management fees would have been $1,457,000 (increase of $883,000), which would have decreased net income allocated to limited partners by approximately 183.6% (to a loss) and net income allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.002 from income of $0.002.
In determining the yield to the partners and hence the management fees, OFG may consider a number of factors, including current market yields, delinquency experience, un-invested cash and real estate activities. OFG expects that the management fees it receives from the Partnership will vary in amount and percentage from period to period, and it is highly likely that OFG will again receive less than the maximum management fees in the future. However, if OFG chooses to take the maximum allowable management fees in the future, the yield paid to limited partners may be reduced.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, OFG receives all late payment charges from borrowers on loans owned by the Partnership, with the exception of loans participated with outside entities. The amounts paid to or collected by OFG for such charges totaled approximately $452,000 and $128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Partnership remits other miscellaneous fees to OFG, which are collected from loan payments, loan payoffs or advances from loan principal (i.e. funding, demand and partial release fees). Such fees remitted to OFG totaled approximately $8,000 and $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
OFG originates all loans the Partnership invests in and receives loan origination and extension fees from borrowers. Such fees paid to OFG amounted to approximately $78,000 and $32,000 on loans extended of approximately $7,834,000 and $800,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The loan fee paid to OFG during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was collected from the borrower upon payoff of the related loan in December 2010 and remitted to OFG in January 2011.
OFG is reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods, services and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities and the salary and related salary expense of OFG’s non-management and non-supervisory personnel performing services for the Partnership which could be performed by independent parties (subject to certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement). The amounts reimbursed to OFG by the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $162,000 and $16,000, respectively.
As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the General Partner held second and fourth deeds of trust in the total amount of approximately $853,000 secured by the same property (and to the same borrower) on which the Partnership has a first deed of trust in the amount of $2,200,000 at an interest rate of 12% per annum. Approximately $517,000 of the General Partner’s second deed of trust is an exit fee included in the deed of trust at the time of loan origination in 2006. The interest rate on the General Partner’s loan is 17% per annum. The loans to the Partnership and the General Partner are greater than ninety days delinquent and past maturity as of March 31, 2011.

NOTE 8 - NOTE PAYABLE
The Partnership has a note payable with a bank through its investment in 720 University (see Note 6), which is secured by the retail development located in Greeley, Colorado. The remaining principal balance on the note was approximately $10,355,000 and $10,394,000 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The note required monthly interest-only payments until March 1, 2010 at a fixed rate of 5.07% per annum. Commencing April 1, 2010, the note became amortizing and monthly payments of $56,816 are now required, with the balance of unpaid principal due on March 1, 2015. Interest expense was approximately $131,000 and $133,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

NOTE 9 - LINE OF CREDIT PAYABLE
The Partnership had a line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which provided interim financing on mortgage loans invested in by the Partnership. All assets of the Partnership were pledged as security for the line of credit. The line of credit was guaranteed by the General Partner. The line of credit was fully repaid by the Partnership in December 2010. Interest expense was approximately $435,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
NOTE 10 – PARTNERS’ CAPITAL
The Partnership originally registered 200,000,000 Units under Registration No. 333-69272 of which 90,241,162 Units remained available for sale, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Unit, as of March 31, 2008. The Partnership filed a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-11, file number 333-150248, that was declared effective on
April 30, 2008. Subsequently, the Partnership filed a new registration statement with the SEC on Form S-11, file number 333-173249, that was declared effective on May 2, 2011. The new registration statement registered 80,043,274 Units that were previously registered and unsold pursuant to registration statement No. 333-150248.
The Partnership experienced a significant increase in limited partner capital withdrawal requests in late 2008 and 2009. Prior to October 13, 2009, the Partnership Agreement permitted only 10% of limited partner capital to be withdrawn in any calendar year, and effective October 13, 2009 (with the adoption of amendments to the Partnership Agreement), this annual 10% limitation applies to the aggregate of limited partner withdrawals and distributions of net proceeds. As a consequence of the annual 10% limitation, the Partnership was required to suspend approximately $5,000,000 in December 2008 withdrawal requests until January 2009. All 2009, 2010 and first quarter 2011 scheduled withdrawals in the total amount of over $76,000,000 were not made because the Partnership has not had sufficient available cash to make such withdrawals and needed to have funds in reserve to pay down its line of credit and for operations. Also, pursuant to the October 2009 modified line of credit agreement, the Partnership was prohibited from making capital distributions to partners until the line of credit was fully repaid. The line of credit was repaid in full by the Partnership in December 2010, and therefore, its restrictions no longer apply. Thus, when funds become available for distribution from net proceeds, the General Partner anticipates causing the Partnership to make a pro rata distribution to partners of up to 10% of the Partnership’s capital, which will prevent any limited partner withdrawals during the same calendar year.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE
The Partnership accounts for its financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities pursuant to ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full
term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, such as the
Partnership’s own data or assumptions
Level 3 inputs include unobservable inputs that are used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability measured at fair value. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.
Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.
Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings.
The following is a description of the Partnership’s valuation methodologies used to measure and disclose the fair values of its financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.

Impaired Loans
The Partnership does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when monthly payments are delinquent greater than ninety days. Once a loan is identified as impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC 310-10-35. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated by either an observable market price (if available) or the fair value of the underlying collateral, if collateral dependent. The fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by third party appraisals, broker price opinions, comparable properties or other indications of value. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At March 31, 2011, the majority of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with ASC 820, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data, the Partnership records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available, management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value or there is no observable market data included in a current appraisal, the Partnership records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
Real Estate Held for Sale and Investment
Real estate held for sale and investment includes properties acquired through foreclosure of the related loans. When property is acquired, any excess of the Partnership’s recorded investment in the loan and accrued interest income over the estimated fair market value of the property, net of estimated selling costs, is charged against the allowance for credit losses. Subsequently, real estate properties are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of real estate held for investment to expected future cash flows as determined by internally or third party generated valuations (including third party appraisals) for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are reduced to fair value. As fair value is generally based upon the future undiscounted cash flows, the Partnership records the impairment on real estate properties as nonrecurring Level 3.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments not recognized at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets pursuant to ASC 825-10.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4,919,000 and $5,375,000 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, approximates the fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
Certificates of Deposit
Certificates of deposit are held in several federally insured depository institutions and have original maturities greater than three months. These investments are held to maturity. The carrying value of the Partnership’s certificates of deposit of approximately $1,761,000 and $2,004,000 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, approximates the fair value. Fair value measurements are estimated using a matrix based on interest rates for certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities.
Loans Secured by Trust Deeds
The carrying value of loans secured by trust deeds (net of allowance for loan losses) of approximately $95,478,000 and $121,597,000 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, other than those analyzed under ASC 310-10-35 and ASC 820 above, approximates the fair value. The fair value is estimated based upon projected cash flows discounted at the estimated current interest rates at which similar loans would be made by the Partnership. The applicable amount of accrued interest receivable and advances related thereto has also been considered in evaluating the fair value versus the carrying value.

Investment in Limited Liability Company
The carrying value of the Partnership’s investment in limited liability company of approximately $2,182,000 and $2,142,000 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, approximates fair value.
Note Payable
The fair value of the Partnership’s note payable with a carrying value of approximately $10,355,000 and $10,394,000 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, is estimated to be approximately $10,419,000 and $10,446,000 as of March 31, 2011and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value is estimated based upon comparable market indicators of current pricing for the same or similar issue or on the current rate offered to the Partnership for debt of the same remaining maturity.
Other Financial Instruments
The carrying values of the following financial instruments as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are estimated to approximate fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Remediation Obligation
The Partnership has an obligation to pay all required costs to remediate and monitor contamination of the real properties owned by 1850 (see Note 4). As part of the Operating Agreement executed by the Partnership and its joint venture partner in 1850, Nanook, the Partnership has indemnified Nanook against all obligations related to the expected costs to monitor and remediate the contamination. During 2008, the Partnership accrued approximately $762,000 as an estimate of the expected costs to monitor and remediate the contamination on the properties based on a third party consultant’s estimate. As of March 31, 2011and December 31, 2010, approximately $511,000 and $550,000, respectively, of this obligation remains accrued on the Partnership’s books. The Partnership has estimated the amount to be paid under this guarantee based on the information available at this time. If additional amounts are required to monitor and remediate the contamination, it will be an obligation of the Partnership, as the Operating Agreement does not limit the obligations of the Partnership.
Legal Proceedings
The Partnership is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such matters will not have a material effect upon the financial position of the Partnership.
Forward Looking Statements
Some of the information in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or other similar words. These statements discuss expectations, hopes, intentions, beliefs and strategies regarding the future, contain projections of results of operations or of financial conditions or state other forward-looking information. When considering such forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in the Partnership’s Form 10-Q and in the most recent Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding future interest rates and economic conditions and their effect on the Partnership and its assets, trends in real estate markets in which the Partnership does business, effects of competition, estimates as to the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate held for sale and investment, estimates of future limited partner withdrawals, additional foreclosures in 2011 and their effects on liquidity, and recovering certain values for properties through sale. Although management of the Partnership believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are certain factors, in addition to these risk factors and cautioning statements, such as unexpected changes in general economic conditions or interest rates, local real estate conditions, including a downturn in the real estate markets where the Partnership has made loans, adequacy of reserves, the impact of competition and competitive pricing, or weather and other natural occurrences that might cause a difference between actual results and those forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements and reasons why results may differ included in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement or reason why actual results may differ.
Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates based on the information available that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Such estimates relate principally to the determination of (1) the allowance for loan losses including the accrued interest and advances that are estimated to be unrecoverable based on estimates of amounts to be collected plus estimates of the value of the property as collateral; (2) the valuation of real estate held for sale and investment; and (3) the estimate of environmental remediation liabilities. At March 31, 2011, the Partnership owned thirty real estate properties, including fifteen within majority- or wholly-owned limited liability companies. The Partnership also has a 50% ownership interest in a limited liability company that owns property located in Santa Clara, California.
Loans and related accrued interest and advances are analyzed on a periodic basis for recoverability. Delinquencies are identified and followed as part of the loan system. Provisions are made to adjust the allowance for loan losses and real estate held for sale to an amount considered by management to be adequate, with consideration to original collateral values at loan inception and to provide for unrecoverable accounts receivable, including impaired and other loans, accrued interest, and advances on loans.
Recent trends in the economy have been taken into consideration in the aforementioned process of arriving at the allowances for loan losses and real estate losses. Actual results could vary from the aforementioned provisions for losses. If the probable ultimate recovery of the carrying amount of a loan is less than amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the carrying amount of the loan is reduced to the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. If a loan is collateral dependent, it is valued by management at the estimated fair value of the related collateral, less estimated selling costs. Estimated collateral fair values are determined based on third party appraisals, opinions of fair value from third party real estate brokers and/or comparable third party sales.
If events and/or changes in circumstances cause management to have serious doubts about the collectability of the contractual payments or when monthly payments are delinquent greater than ninety days, a loan is categorized as impaired and interest is no longer accrued. Any subsequent payments received on impaired loans are first applied to reduce any outstanding accrued interest, and then are recognized as interest income, except when such payments are specifically designated principal reduction or when management does not believe the Partnership’s investment in the loan is fully recoverable.
Real estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and is stated at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan, inclusive of any senior indebtedness, or at the property’s estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.
Real estate held for investment includes real estate purchased or acquired through foreclosure (including fifteen properties within consolidated limited liability companies) and is initially stated at the lower of cost or the recorded investment in the loan, or the property’s estimated fair value. Depreciation of buildings and improvements is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of buildings and improvements. Depreciation of tenant improvements is provided on the straight-line method over the lives of the related leases. Costs related to the improvement of real estate held for sale and investment are capitalized, whereas those related to holding the property are expensed.
The Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of real estate held for investment to expected undiscounted future cash flows, as determined by internally or third-party generated valuations, for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are reduced to estimated fair value.
The Partnership’s environmental remediation liability related to a property located in Santa Clara, California was estimated based on a third party consultant’s estimate of the costs required to remediate and monitor the contamination.
Related Parties
The General Partner of the Partnership is Owens Financial Group, Inc. (“OFG” or the “General Partner”). All Partnership business is conducted through the General Partner, which arranges, services, and maintains the loan portfolio for the benefit of the Partnership. The fees received by the General Partner are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and are determined at the sole discretion of the General Partner, subject to the limitations imposed by the Partnership Agreement. In the past, the General Partner has elected not to take the maximum compensation in order to maintain return to the limited partners at historical levels. There can be no assurance that the General Partner will continue to do this in the future. The following is a list of various Partnership activities for which related parties are compensated.
·
|
Management Fees - In consideration of the management services rendered to the Partnership, the General Partner is entitled to receive from the Partnership a management fee payable monthly, subject to a maximum of 2.75% per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Partnership’s mortgage loans at the end of each month in the calendar year. Management fees amounted to approximately $755,000 and $574,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
|
·
|
Servicing Fees – All of the Partnership’s loans are serviced by the General Partner, in consideration for which the General Partner is entitled to receive from the Partnership a monthly fee, which, when added to all other fees paid in connection with the servicing of a particular loan, does not exceed the lesser of the customary, competitive fee in the community where the loan is placed or up to 0.25% per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loans at the end of each month. Servicing fees amounted to approximately $82,000 and $132,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
|
·
|
Acquisition and Origination Fees – The General Partner is entitled to receive and retain all acquisition and origination fees paid or payable by borrowers for services rendered in connection with the evaluation and consideration of potential investments of the Partnership (including any selection fee, mortgage placement fee, nonrecurring management fee, and any origination fee, loan fee, or points paid by borrowers). The acquisition and origination fees are paid by borrowers, and thus, are not an expense of the Partnership. Such fees paid to OFG amounted to approximately $78,000 and $32,000 on loans originated or extended of approximately $7,834,000 and $800,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The loan fee paid to OFG during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was collected from the borrower upon payoff of the related loan in December 2010 and remitted to OFG in January 2011.
|
·
|
Late Payment Charges – The General Partner is entitled to receive all late payment charges by borrowers on delinquent loans held by the Partnership (including additional interest and late payment fees). The late payment charges are paid by borrowers and collected by the Partnership with regular monthly loan payments or at the time of loan payoff. These are recorded as a liability (Due to General Partner) when collected and are not recognized as an expense of the Partnership. The amounts paid to or collected by OFG for such charges totaled approximately $452,000 and $128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
|
·
|
Other Miscellaneous Fees - The Partnership remits other miscellaneous fees to the General Partner, which are collected from loan payments, loan payoffs or advances from loan principal (i.e. funding, demand and partial release fees). Such fees remitted to OFG totaled approximately $8,000 and $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
|
·
|
Partnership Expenses – The General Partner is entitled to be reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods, services and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities. The General Partner is also entitled to reimbursement for the salaries and related salary expense of OFG’s non-management and non-supervisory personnel performing services for the Partnership which could be performed by independent parties (subject to certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement). The amounts reimbursed to the General Partner by the Partnership were approximately $162,000 and $16,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
|
·
|
Carried Interest and Contributed Capital – The General Partner is required to contribute capital to the Partnership in the amount of 0.5% of the limited partners’ aggregate capital accounts and, together with its carried interest; the General Partner has an interest equal to 1% of the limited partners’ capital accounts. This carried interest of the General Partner of up to 1/2 of 1% is recorded as an expense of the Partnership and credited as a contribution to the General Partner’s capital account as additional compensation. As of March 31, 2011, the General Partner has made cash capital contributions of $1,496,000 to the Partnership. The General Partner is required to continue cash capital contributions to the Partnership in order to maintain its required capital balance. There was no carried interest expense charged to the Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Results of Operations
Overview
The Partnership invests in mortgage loans on real property located in the United States that are primarily originated by the General Partner. The Partnership’s primary objective is to generate monthly income from its investment in mortgage loans. The Partnership’s focus is on making mortgage loans to owners and developers of real property whose financing needs are often not met by traditional mortgage lenders. These include borrowers that traditional lenders may not normally consider because of perceived credit risks based on ratings or experience levels, and borrowers who require faster loan decisions and funding. One of the Partnership’s competitive advantages has been the ability to approve loan applications and fund more quickly than traditional lenders.
The Partnership will originate loans secured by very diverse property types. In addition, the Partnership will occasionally lend to borrowers whom traditional lenders will not normally lend to because of a variety of factors including their credit ratings and/or experience. Due to these factors, the Partnership may make mortgage loans that are riskier than mortgage loans made by commercial banks and other institutional lenders. To compensate for those potential risks, the Partnership seeks to make loans at higher interest rates and with more protection from the underlying real property collateral, such as with lower loan to value ratios. The Partnership is not presently originating new mortgage loans, as it must first either satisfy withdrawal requests of limited partners and/or make capital distributions pro rata to its limited partners of up to 10% of limited partners’ capital per calendar year with net proceeds from loan payoffs, real estate sales and/or capital contributions, as funds become available.
Due to the declining economy and reductions in real estate values over the past three years, the Partnership has experienced increased delinquent loans and foreclosures which have created substantial losses to the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership now owns significantly more real estate than in the past, which has reduced cash flow and net income. As of March 31, 2011, approximately 74% of Partnership loans are impaired, greater than 90 days delinquent in payments and/or past maturity. In addition, the Partnership now owns approximately $140,000,000 of real estate held for sale or investment.
It is highly likely that the Partnership will continue to experience losses in the future. Management expects that, as non-delinquent Partnership loans are paid off by borrowers, interest income received by the Partnership will be reduced. In addition, the Partnership will likely foreclose on more delinquent loans, thereby obtaining ownership of more real estate that may create larger operating losses. Management will attempt to sell many of these properties but may need to sell them for losses or wait until market values recover in the future. Due to the large amount of unfulfilled withdrawal requests by limited partners, the Partnership will be unable to take advantage of current favorable lending opportunities which could help to increase net income to the Partnership (until 10% of limited partner capital is distributed in any given calendar year).
The Partnership’s operating results are affected primarily by:
·
|
the amount of cash available to invest in mortgage loans;
|
·
|
the amount of borrowing to finance mortgage loan investments, and the Partnership’s cost of funds on such borrowing;
|
·
|
the level of real estate lending activity in the markets serviced;
|
·
|
the ability to identify and lend to suitable borrowers;
|
·
|
the interest rates the Partnership is able to charge on loans;
|
·
|
the level of delinquencies on mortgage loans;
|
·
|
the level of foreclosures and related loan and real estate losses experienced; and
|
·
|
the income or losses from foreclosed properties prior to the time of disposal.

From 2007 to 2010, the U.S. economy deteriorated due to a combination of factors including a substantial decline in the housing market, liquidity issues in the lending market, and increased unemployment. The national unemployment rate increased substantially from 5.0% in December 2007 to 9.4% in December 2008. However, it declined to 8.8% in March 2011. The California unemployment rate increased from 6.1% in December 2007 to 12.0% in March 2011. The growth of the Gross Domestic Product slowed from 1.9% (revised) in 2007 to 0% (revised) in 2008 and declined 2.6% (revised) in 2009. The Gross Domestic Product increased by an annualized rate of 3.7%, 1.7%, 2.6% and 3.1% in the four quarters of 2010, respectively. In the first quarter of 2011, the GDP increased by 1.8%. The Federal Reserve decreased the federal funds rate from 4.25% as of December 31, 2007 to 0.25% as of December 31, 2008, where it remains as of March 31, 2011.
The Partnership has experienced increased loan delinquencies and foreclosures over the past three years. The General Partner believes that this has primarily been the result of the depressed economy, lack of availability of credit and the slowing real estate market in California and other parts of the nation. The increased loan delinquencies and foreclosures have resulted in a substantial reduction in Partnership income over the past three years. In addition, due to the state of the economy and depressed real estate values, the Partnership has had to increase its loan loss reserves and take write-downs on certain real estate properties which, in turn, have resulted in losses to the Partnership.
Although currently the General Partner believes that only fourteen of the Partnership's delinquent loans will result in loss to the Partnership (and has caused the Partnership to record specific allowances for loan losses on such loans), real estate values could decrease further. The Partnership continues to perform frequent evaluations of such collateral values using internal and external sources, including the use of updated independent appraisals. As a result of these evaluations, the allowance for loan losses and the Partnership’s investments in real estate could change in the near term, and such changes could be material.
The Partnership experienced a significant increase in limited partner capital withdrawal requests in late 2008 and 2009 and a decreased ability to meet those requests. Prior to October 13, 2009, the Partnership Agreement permitted only 10% of limited partner capital to be withdrawn in any calendar year, and effective October 13, 2009 (with the adoption of amendments to the Partnership Agreement), this annual 10% limitation applies to the aggregate of limited partner withdrawals and distributions of net proceeds. As a consequence of the annual 10% limitation, the Partnership was required to suspend approximately $5,000,000 in December 2008 withdrawal requests until January 2009. All 2009, 2010 and first quarter 2011 scheduled withdrawals of over $76,000,000 have not been made because the Partnership has not had sufficient available cash to make such withdrawals and needed to have funds in reserve to pay down its line of credit and for operations. Also, pursuant to the October 2009 modified line of credit agreement, the Partnership was prohibited from making capital distributions to partners until the line of credit is fully repaid. The line of credit was paid in full in December 2010. Thus, when funds become available for distribution from net proceeds, the General Partner anticipates causing the Partnership to make a pro rata distribution to partners of up to 10% of limited partner capital, which will prevent any limited partner withdrawals during the same calendar year.
Although it appears that the U.S. economy has recently experienced positive growth, continued unemployment could negatively affect the values of real estate held by the Partnership and providing security for Partnership loans. This could potentially lead to even greater delinquencies and foreclosures, further reducing the liquidity and net income (yield) of the Partnership, decreasing the cash available for distribution in the form of net income and capital redemptions, and increase real estate held by the Partnership.
Historically, the General Partner has focused its operations on California and certain Western states. Because the General Partner has a significant degree of knowledge with respect to the real estate markets in such states, it is likely most of the Partnership’s loans will be concentrated in such states. As of March 31, 2011, 42.0% of loans were secured by real estate in Northern California, while 16.3%, 13.1%, 8.7%, 6.2% and 4.9% were secured by real estate in Southern California, Colorado, New York, Arizona, and Washington, respectively. Such geographical concentration creates greater risk that any downturn in such local real estate markets could have a significant adverse effect upon results of operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Total Revenues
Interest income on loans secured by trust deeds decreased $969,000 (40.2%) during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average balance of the loan portfolio of approximately 38% during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to 2010.
Gain on sales of real estate decreased $182,000 (96.6%) during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership recognized $6,000 in deferred gain related to the sale of the Bayview Gardens property in 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership sold a commercial building in the complex located in Roseville, California for a gain of approximately $183,000 and recognized $6,000 in deferred gain related to the sale of the Bayview Gardens property in 2006.
Total Expenses
Management fees to the General Partner increased $181,000 (31.5%) during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. For the first quarter of 2011, while the General Partner did not collect the maximum management fees, it collected management fees equal to the minimum amount that the General Partner determined it needed to be paid in fees from the Partnership to enable it to cover its overhead and operating costs as the General Partner.
Servicing fees to the General Partner decreased $50,000 (37.8%) during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to 2010. This was the result of a decrease in the weighted average balance of the loan portfolio of approximately 38% during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to 2010.
The maximum servicing fees were paid to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the management fees would have been $906,000 (increase of $151,000), which would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 42.1% and net loss allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.002 from a loss of $0.002. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2010, the management fees would have been $1,457,000 (increase of $883,000), which would have decreased net income allocated to limited partners by approximately 183.6% (to a loss) and net income allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.002 from income of $0.002.
The maximum management fee permitted under the Partnership Agreement is 2 ¾% per year of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans. For the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 (annualized), the management fees were 1.53%, 0.89%, 1.00% and 2.29% of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans, respectively.
In determining the management fees and hence the yield to the partners, the General Partner may consider a number of factors, including current market yields, delinquency experience, un-invested cash and real estate activities. The General Partner expects that the management fees that it receives from the Partnership will vary in amount and percentage from period to period, and it is highly likely that the General Partner will again receive less than the maximum management fees in the future. However, if the General Partner chooses to take the maximum allowable management fees in the future, the yield paid to limited partners may be reduced.
Administrative/accounting expense increased $47,000 and real estate management/operations expense increased $92,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership may reimburse the General Partner for the salaries and related salary expenses of the General Partner’s non-management and non-supervisory personnel performing services which could be performed by independent parties (subject to certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement). Because of increased loan delinquencies and the resulting foreclosures by the Partnership in the past few years, owned real estate has comprised a greater percentage of the Partnership’s assets than has historically been the case. As a result, the General Partner has been required to devote more personnel resources to the administration and operation of the Partnership’s real estate assets. While the General Partner has chosen in the past not to seek reimbursement for its personnel costs associated with the real estate owned by the Partnership, the General Partner has determined that it is appropriate and reasonable to do so beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2011, in light of these increased burdens being placed on the General Partner. As permitted by the Partnership Agreement, the costs that are being reimbursed by the Partnership are for the actual salary and related salary costs of certain non-management and non-supervisory personnel providing administrative, accounting and real estate management/operations services, with respect to the Partnership’s real estate assets.
Legal and professional expenses increased $42,000 (27.8%) during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to increased legal and appraisal costs in the first quarter of 2011 incurred on delinquent loans and loans in the process of foreclosure during the first quarter that were not incurred during the first quarter of 2010.
Interest expense decreased $437,000 (76.9%) during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, due to the full repayment of the Partnership’s line of credit in December 2010. Thus, no interest expense was incurred by the Partnership on the line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
The provision for loan losses of $302,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was the result of an analysis performed on the loan portfolio. The general loan loss allowance decreased $278,000 during the quarter due to a decrease in both the loan portfolio and those loans not analyzed for a specific allowance. The specific loan loss allowance increased $673,000 during the quarter as reserves were adjusted or established on fourteen loans. The Partnership recorded a provision for loan losses of approximately $337,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Net Loss from Rental and Other Real Estate Properties
Net loss from rental and other real estate properties decreased $120,000 (32.4%) during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to the ability of the General Partner to increase the operating income or decrease operating losses on several Partnership real estate properties in late 2010 and early 2011 and the fact that some of the newly acquired residential real estate properties are close to being fully occupied by tenants.
Financial Condition
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
Loan Portfolio
The number of Partnership mortgage investments decreased from 39 as of December 31, 2010 to 34 as of March 31, 2011, and the average loan balance decreased from $4,043,000 to $3,565,000 between December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership had twenty-one and twenty-four loans, respectively, that were impaired, delinquent in monthly payments greater than ninety days and/or in the process of foreclosure totaling approximately $89,779,000 (74%) and $121,565,000 (77%), respectively. This included eighteen and twenty-two past maturity loans totaling $82,743,000 (68%) and $119,084,000 (76%), respectively. In addition, five and five loans totaling approximately $3,318,000 (3%) and $3,318,000 (2%), respectively, were past maturity but current in monthly payments as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively (combined total of impaired and past maturity loans of $93,096,000 (77%) and
$124,883,000 (79%), respectively). Of the impaired and past maturity loans, approximately $23,012,000 (19%) and $46,078,000 (29%), respectively, were in the process of foreclosure and $45,106,000 (37%) and $53,306,000 (34%), respectively, involved borrowers who were in bankruptcy as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, one delinquent and past maturity loan with a principal balance of $1,350,000 was paid off in full by the borrower. In addition, in April 2011 (subsequent to quarter end), the Partnership filed a notice of default on one delinquent loan with a principal balance of $2,200,000 as of March 31, 2011.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership held the following types of mortgages:

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately 42% and 39%, respectively, of the Partnership’s mortgage loans were secured by real property in Northern California. In addition, approximately 65% of the Partnership’s mortgage loans as of March 31, 2011 were secured by real estate located in the states of California, Arizona and Nevada, which have experienced dramatic reductions in real estate values over the past three years.
The Partnership’s investment in loans decreased by $36,455,000 (23.1%) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as a result of foreclosures and loan payoffs. The Partnership is not presently able to originate new loans due to cash flow constraints.
The General Partner (decreased) increased the allowance for loan losses by $(10,336,000) and $337,000 (provision net of charge-offs and recoveries) during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The General Partner believes that this allowance is sufficient given the estimated underlying collateral values of impaired loans. There is no precise method used by the General Partner to predict delinquency rates or losses on specific loans. The General Partner has considered the number and amount of delinquent loans, loans in the process of foreclosure and loans in bankruptcy in determining the allowance for loan losses, but there can be no absolute assurance that the allowance is sufficient. Because any decision regarding allowances for loan losses reflects judgment about the probability of future events, there is an inherent risk that such judgments will prove incorrect. In such event, actual losses may exceed (or be less than) the amount of any reserve. To the extent that the Partnership experiences losses greater than the amount of its reserves, the Partnership may incur a charge to earnings that will adversely affect operating results and the amount of any distributions payable to Limited Partners.
Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

The Partnership’s allowance for loan losses was $25,732,584 and $36,068,515 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was a general allowance for loan losses of $3,468,000 and $3,746,000, respectively, and a specific allowance for loan losses on thirteen and thirteen loans in the total amount of $22,264,584 and $32,322,515, respectively.
Real Estate Properties Held for Sale and Investment
As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership held title to thirty properties that were acquired through foreclosure with a total carrying amount of approximately $140,355,000 (including properties held in fifteen limited liability companies), net of accumulated depreciation of $6,312,000. As of March 31, 2011, properties held for sale total $29,734,000 and properties held for investment total $110,621,000. When the Partnership acquires property by foreclosure, it typically earns less income on those properties than could be earned on mortgage loans and may not be able to sell the properties in a timely manner.
Changes in real estate held for sale and investment during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Ten of the Partnership’s thirty properties do not currently generate revenue. Expenses from real estate properties have increased from approximately $1,976,000 to $2,804,000 (41.9%) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively, and revenues associated with these properties have increased from $1,605,000 to $2,553,000 (59.1%), thus generating a net loss from real estate properties of $251,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 (compared to $371,000 for the same period in 2010).
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by a 1/7th interest in a single family home located in Lincoln City, Oregon in the amount of approximately $75,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. In addition, accrued interest and advances made on the loan or incurred as part of the foreclosure (such as legal fees and delinquent property taxes) in the total amount of approximately $10,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property. The property is classified as held for sale as it is listed for sale and the Partnership expects to complete a sale within the next year.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by an industrial building located in Chico, California in the amount of $8,500,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. In addition, advances made on the loan or incurred as part of the foreclosure (such as legal fees and delinquent property taxes) in the total amount of approximately $588,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property. The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected in the next one year period.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on a participated, first mortgage loan secured by a condominium complex located in Miami, Florida with a principal balance to the Partnership of approximately $26,257,000 and obtained an undivided interest in the properties with the other two lenders (which included the General Partner) via the trustee’s sale. The Partnership and other lenders formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, TOTB Miami, LLC, to own and operate the complex (see Note 6). The complex consists of three buildings, two of which have been renovated and are being leased, and in which 168 units remain unsold (the “Point” and “South” buildings), and one which contains 160 vacant units that have not been renovated (the “North” building). Based on a new appraisal obtained in September 2010, it was determined that the fair value of the property was
lower than the Partnership’s total investment in the loans (including a previously established loan loss allowance of $10,188,000) and an additional charge to provision for loan losses of approximately $450,000 was recorded during the quarter (total charge-off of $10,638,000). The Point and South building units are classified as held for investment as sales are not expected in the next one year period. The North building is classified as held for sale as it is being actively marketed and a sale is expected within the next year.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership sold one commercial building located in Roseville, California for net sales proceeds of approximately $359,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $183,000.
720 University, LLC
The Partnership has an investment in a limited liability company, 720 University, LLC (720 University), which owns a commercial retail property located in Greeley, Colorado. The Partnership receives 65% of the profits and losses in 720 University after priority return on partner contributions is allocated at the rate of 10% per annum. The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of 720 University have been consolidated into the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations of the Partnership.
The net income to the Partnership from 720 University was approximately $13,000 and $8,000 (including depreciation and amortization of $118,000 and $136,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The non-controlling interest of the joint venture partner of approximately $15,000 and $16,000 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, is reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Partnership’s investment in 720 University real property and improvements was approximately $12,530,000 and $12,628,000 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Dation, LLC
Dation, LLC (Dation) was formed in 2001 between the Partnership and an unrelated developer for the purpose of developing and selling lots in a manufactured home park located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which were acquired by the Partnership via a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Partnership advances funds to Dation as needed. The Partnership owns 50% of Dation and is the sole general manager of Dation (pursuant to an amendment to the Operating Agreement executed in October 2007). Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Partnership is to receive 50% of Dation’s profits and losses after receipt of all interest on the original loan and priority return on partner contributions allocated at the rate of 12% per annum. The Partnership has recorded 100% of Dation’s net income and losses since inception because it has the majority of the risks and rewards of ownership. The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of Dation have been consolidated into the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations of the Partnership.
The net operating loss to the Partnership from Dation was approximately $13,000 and $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
DarkHorse Golf Club, LLC
DarkHorse Golf Club, LLC (DarkHorse) is a California limited liability company formed for the purpose of operating the DarkHorse golf course located in Auburn California, which was acquired by the Partnership via foreclosure in August 2007. The golf course was placed into DarkHorse via a grant deed on the same day that the trustee’s sale was held. The Partnership is the sole member in DarkHorse. The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of DarkHorse have been consolidated into the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations of the Partnership. The golf course is being operated and managed by an unrelated company.
The Partnership advanced approximately $185,000 and $161,000 to DarkHorse during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for operations and improvements. The net operating loss to the Partnership from DarkHorse was approximately $187,000 and $214,000 (including depreciation of $42,000 and $33,000) for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Continued operation of DarkHorse may result in additional losses to the Partnership and may require the Partnership to provide funds for operations and capital improvements.
Lone Star Golf, LLC
Lone Star Golf, LLC (Lone Star) is a California limited liability company formed for the purpose of owning and operating a golf course and country club located in Auburn, California, which was acquired by the Partnership via foreclosure in June 2009. The Partnership is the sole member in Lone Star. The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of Lone Star have been consolidated into the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations of the Partnership. The golf course is being operated and managed by an unrelated company.
The Partnership advanced approximately $72,000 and $86,000 to Lone Star during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for operations. The net operating loss to the Partnership from Lone Star was approximately $110,000 and $101,000 (including depreciation of $11,000 and $11,000) for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
TOTB Miami, LLC
TOTB Miami, LLC (TOTB) is a Florida limited liability company formed for the purpose of owning and operating 168 condominium units and a 160 unit apartment building in a complex located in Miami, Florida which were acquired by the Partnership, the General Partner and Potomac Capital (who were co-lenders in the subject loan) via foreclosure in February 2011. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Partnership is to receive an allocation of the profits and losses of TOTB based on the allocation of the distribution priorities contained in the Agreement (approximately 57% as of March 31, 2011). The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of TOTB have been consolidated into the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations of the Partnership. The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of TOTB have been consolidated into the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations of the Partnership. The noncontrolling interests of the other members of TOTB totaled approximately $14,129,000 as of March 31, 2011.
The net loss to the Partnership from TOTB was approximately $34,000 (including depreciation of $100,000) for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Certificates of Deposit
Cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit decreased from approximately $7,379,000 as of December 31, 2010 to approximately $6,680,000 as of March 31, 2011 ($699,000 or 9.5%), due primarily to the Partnership’s payment of delinquent property taxes on the property in TOTB Miami, LLC during the quarter.
Interest and Other Receivables
Interest and other receivables decreased from approximately $4,494,000 as of December 31, 2010 to $2,393,000 as of March 31, 2011 ($2,101,000 or 46.8%), due primarily to foreclosures that resulted in certain receivables being reclassified to real estate held for sale and/or investment.
Due to General Partner
Due to General Partner decreased from approximately $682,000 as of December 31, 2010 to approximately $597,000 as of March 31, 2011, ($85,000 or 12.5%), due primarily to additional interest, late charges and an extension fee in the aggregate amount of approximately $519,000 collected on a delinquent Partnership loan that paid off in full in December 2010, and which was not disbursed to the General Partner until January 2011. Accrued management and service fees due to the General Partner as of March 31, 2011 increased $439,000, as compared to December 31, 2010. These fees are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement (see “Results of Operations” above) and can fluctuate from month to month.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased from approximately $2,387,000 as of December 31, 2010 to approximately $3,735,000 as of March 31, 2011 ($1,348,000 or 56.5%), due primarily to an increase in accrued expenses on Partnership real estate acquired through foreclosure in 2010 and 2011.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests increased from approximately $16,000 as of December 31, 2010 to approximately $14,144,000 as of March 31, 2011, due to the foreclosure of a loan during the quarter and the acquisition by a new LLC entity (TOTB Miami, LLC or “TOTB”) of the property securing the foreclosed loan. The loan had been subject to a co-lending agreement with two other lenders (one of which was the General Partner) who are now members in TOTB along with the Partnership. The consolidation of TOTB into the Partnership’s books and records gave rise to noncontrolling interests held by the other members of the LLC in the total amount of approximately $14,020,000.
Asset Quality
A consequence of lending activities is that losses will be experienced and that the amount of such losses will vary from time to time, depending on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as affected by economic conditions and the financial experiences of borrowers. Many of these factors are beyond the control of the General Partner. There is no precise method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged off on specific loans or on segments of the loan portfolio.
The conclusion that a Partnership loan may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. Although institutional lenders are subject to regulations that, among other things, require them to perform ongoing analyses of their loan portfolios (including analyses of loan-to-value ratios, reserves, etc.), and to obtain current information regarding their borrowers and the securing properties, the Partnership is not subject to these regulations and has not adopted these practices. Rather, management of the General Partner, in connection with the quarterly closing of the accounting records of the Partnership and the preparation of the financial statements, evaluates the Partnership’s mortgage loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on the General Partner’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the Partnership’s loan portfolio and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which the General Partner determines that full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters:
|
prevailing economic conditions;
|
|
the Partnership’s historical loss experience;
|
|
the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio;
|
|
borrowers’ financial condition and adverse situations that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay;
|
|
evaluation of industry trends;
|
|
review and evaluation of loans identified as having loss potential; and
|
|
estimated net realizable value or fair value of the underlying collateral.
|
Based upon this evaluation, a determination is made as to whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable losses of the Partnership. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for loan losses. Loan losses deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses. As of March 31, 2011, management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $25,733,000 is adequate in amount to cover probable losses. Because of the number of variables involved, the magnitude of the swings possible and the General Partner’s inability to control many of these factors, actual results may and do sometimes differ significantly from estimates made by the General Partner. As of March 31, 2011, twenty-one loans totaling $89,779,000 were impaired, delinquent in monthly payments greater than ninety days and/or in the process of foreclosure. This includes eighteen past maturity loans totaling $82,743,000. In addition, five loans totaling $3,318,000 were also past maturity but current in monthly payments as March 31, 2011 (combined total of $93,096,000). The Partnership recorded charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses of approximately $10,638,000 for two foreclosed loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and after the General Partner’s evaluation of the loan portfolio recorded an additional provision for loan losses of approximately $302,000 for losses that are estimated to have likely occurred, which resulted in a net decrease to the allowance of approximately $10,336,000. The General Partner believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient given the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral values of impaired and past maturity loans.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, cash flows used in operating activities approximated $1,953,000 as approximately $1,629,000 of Partnership cash was used to pay delinquent property taxes for the recently acquired real estate properties held within TOTB Miami, LLC. Investing activities provided approximately $1,639,000 of net cash during the quarter, as approximately $1,866,000 was received from the payoff of loans or maturity of certificates of deposit, net of approximately $227,000 used for investing in real estate and equipment. Approximately $142,000 was used in financing activities, as approximately $39,000 was used to repay the note payable and $236,000 was distributed to partners in the form of income distributions, net of approximately $136,000 of capital contributions from noncontrolling interests . The General Partner believes that the Partnership will have sufficient cash flow to sustain operations over the next year.
The Partnership experienced a significant increase in limited partner capital withdrawal requests in late 2008 and 2009. Prior to October 13, 2009, the Partnership Agreement permitted only 10% of limited partner capital to be withdrawn in any calendar year, and effective October 13, 2009 (with the approval of the amendments to the Partnership Agreement by limited partners on such date), this annual 10% limitation applies to the aggregate of limited partner withdrawals and distributions of net proceeds. As a consequence of the annual 10% limitation, the Partnership was required to suspend approximately $5,000,000 in December 2008 withdrawal requests until January 2009. All 2009, 2010 and first quarter 2011 scheduled withdrawals in the total amount of over $76,000,000 have not been made because the Partnership has not had sufficient available cash to make such withdrawals and needed to have funds in reserve to pay down its line of credit and for operations. Also, pursuant to the October 2009 modified line of credit agreement, the Partnership was prohibited from making capital distributions to partners until the line of credit was fully repaid. The line of credit was repaid in full by the Partnership in December 2010, and as a result, the Partnership is no longer subject to the collateral requirements, payment obligations, restrictions on partner distributions and repurchases, and other restrictions imposed by the line of credit agreement. Thus, when funds become available for distribution from net proceeds, the General Partner anticipates causing the Partnership to make a pro rata distribution to all partners up to 10% of Partnership capital, which will prevent any limited partner withdrawals during the same calendar year.
The limited partners may withdraw capital from the Partnership, either in full or partially, subject to the following limitations, among others:
·
|
The withdrawing limited partner is required to provide written notice of withdrawal to the General Partner, and the distribution to the withdrawing limited partner will not be made until 61 to 91 days after delivery of such notice of withdrawal.
|
·
|
No withdrawal of capital with respect to Units is permitted until the expiration of one year from the date of purchase of such Units, other than Units received under the Partnership’s Reinvested Distribution Plan.
|
·
|
Any such payments are required to be made only from net proceeds and capital contributions (as defined).
|
·
|
A maximum of $100,000 per limited partner may be withdrawn during any calendar quarter.
|
·
|
The General Partner is not required to establish a reserve fund for the purpose of funding withdrawals.
|
·
|
No more than 10% of the aggregate capital accounts of limited partners can be paid to limited partners through any combination of distributions of net proceeds and withdrawals during any calendar year, except upon a plan of dissolution of the Partnership.
|
Under normal market conditions, sales of Units to investors, reinvestment of limited partner distributions, portfolio loan payoffs, and advances on the Partnership’s line of credit (which has been fully repaid) provide the capital for new mortgage investments. If general market interest rates were to increase substantially, investors might turn to interest-yielding investments other than Partnership Units, which would reduce the liquidity of the Partnership and its ability to make additional mortgage investments to take advantage of the generally higher interest rates. In addition, an increase in delinquencies on Partnership loans (including an increase in past maturity loans) could also have the effect of reducing liquidity which could reduce the cash available to invest in new loans and distribute to limited partners. In contrast, a significant increase in the dollar amount of loan payoffs and additional limited partner investments without the origination of new loans of the same amount would increase the liquidity of the Partnership. This increase in liquidity could result in a decrease in the yield paid to limited partners as the Partnership would be required to invest the additional funds in lower yielding, short term investments.
Limited partner capital decreased by approximately $589,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. A component of the decrease in limited partner capital during 2011 was an increase in the allowance for loan losses in the amount of approximately $302,000. Reinvested distributions from limited partners electing to reinvest were $56,000 and $220,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were no limited partner withdrawals for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Limited partner withdrawal percentages have been 4.70%, 6.34%, 10.00%, 2.01% and 0.00% for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. These percentages are the annual average of the limited partners’ capital withdrawals in each calendar quarter divided by the total limited partner capital as of the end of each quarter.
The total amount of indebtedness incurred by the Partnership cannot exceed the sum of 50% of the aggregate fair market value of all Partnership loans. Until December 2010, the Partnership had a line of credit agreement with a group of three banks that provided interim financing on mortgage loans invested in by the Partnership. The line of credit was repaid in full by the Partnership in December 2010. Because of such repayment, various restrictions on the Partnership’s capital resources imposed by the line of credit agreement no longer apply.
The Partnership has a note payable with a bank through its investment in 720 University, LLC with a balance of $10,355,000 and $10,394,000 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The note required monthly interest-only payments until March 1, 2010 at a fixed rate of 5.07% per annum. Commencing April 1, 2010, the note became amortizing and monthly payments of $56,816 are now required, with the balance of unpaid principal due on March 1, 2015.
Although the Partnership previously had commitments under construction and rehabilitation loans, no such commitments remained as of March 31, 2011.
It was determined, subsequent to foreclosure of the applicable loans in November 2009, that additional renovation costs in the total amount of approximately $2,000,000 will be required to complete certain of the condominium units located in Phoenix, Arizona now owned by the Partnership so that these units may be leased or sold. The funds to pay for these capitalized costs will likely come from either cash reserves or new borrowings securing the property.
Contingency Reserves
The Partnership is required to maintain cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as contingency reserves in an aggregate amount of at least 1-1/2% of the capital accounts of the limited partners to cover expenses in excess of revenues or other unforeseen obligations of the Partnership. The cash capital contributions of OFG (amounting to $1,496,000 as of March 31, 2011), up to a maximum of 1/2 of 1% of the limited partners’ capital accounts may be maintained as additional contingency reserves, if considered necessary by the General Partner. Although the General Partner believes the contingency reserves are adequate, it could become necessary for the Partnership to sell or otherwise liquidate certain of its investments or other assets to cover such contingencies on terms which might not be favorable to the Partnership.
The General Partner of the Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the General Partner’s management, including the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, which is the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
In the normal course of business, the Partnership may become involved in various types of legal proceedings such as assignment of rents, bankruptcy proceedings, appointment of receivers, unlawful detainers, judicial foreclosure, etc., to enforce the provisions of the deeds of trust, collect the debt owed under the promissory notes, or to protect, or recoup its investment from the real property secured by the deeds of trust. None of these actions would typically be of any material importance. As of the date hereof, the Partnership is not involved in any legal proceedings other than those that would be considered part of the normal course of business.
There have been no material changes in the Partnership’s risk factors as previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010.
