The Partnership is a California limited partnership organized on June 14, 1984, which invests in first, second, third, wraparound and construction mortgage loans and loans on leasehold interest mortgages. In June 1985, the Partnership became the successor-in-interest to Owens Mortgage Investment Fund I, a California limited partnership formed in June 1983 with the same policies and objectives as the Partnership. In October 1992, the Partnership changed its name from Owens Mortgage Investment Partnership II to Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership. The address of the Partnership is P.O. Box 2400, 2221 Olympic Blvd., Walnut Creek, CA 94595. Its telephone number is (925) 935-3840.
Owens Financial Group, Inc. (the General Partner) arranges, services and maintains the loan and real estate portfolios for the Partnership. The Partnership’s mortgage loans are secured by mortgages on unimproved, improved, income-producing and non-income-producing real property, such as condominium projects, apartment complexes, shopping centers, office buildings, and other commercial or industrial properties. No single Partnership loan may exceed 10% of the total Partnership assets as of the date the loan is made.
The following table shows the total Partnership capital, mortgage investments and net income attributable to the Partnership as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006:

The Partnership has established an allowance for loan losses of approximately $24,542,000 as of December 31, 2011. The above amounts reflect the gross amounts of the Partnership’s mortgage investments without regard to such allowance.
The average loan balance of the mortgage loan portfolio is $2,777,000 as of December 31, 2011. Of such investments, 22.9% earn a variable rate of interest and 77.1% earn a fixed rate of interest. All were negotiated according to the Partnership’s investment standards.
The Partnership has other assets in addition to its mortgage investments, comprised principally of the following:
·
|
$18,195,000 in cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit required to transact the business of the Partnership and/or in conjunction with contingency reserve and compensating balance requirements;
|
·
|
$145,592,000 in real estate held for sale and investment;
|
·
|
$2,140,000 in investment in limited liability company;
|
·
|
$1,456,000 in interest and other receivables;
|
·
|
$280,000 in vehicles, equipment and furniture; and
|
·
|
$1,329,000 in other assets.
|
Delinquencies
The General Partner does not regularly examine the existing loan portfolio to see if acceptable loan-to-value ratios are being maintained because the majority of loans in the Partnership’s portfolio are currently past maturity or mature in a period of only 1-3 years. The General Partner performs an internal review on a loan secured by property in the following circumstances:
·
|
payments on the loan become delinquent;
|
·
|
the loan is past maturity;
|
·
|
it learns of physical changes to the property securing the loan or to the area in which the property is located; or
|
·
|
it learns of changes to the economic condition of the borrower or of leasing activity of the property securing the loan.
|
A review normally includes conducting a physical evaluation of the property securing the loan and the area in which the property is located, and obtaining information regarding the property’s occupancy. In some circumstances, the General Partner may determine that a more extensive review is warranted, and may obtain an updated appraisal, updated financial information on the borrower or other information. As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership obtained updated appraisals on the majority of the properties securing its trust deed investments and its wholly- and majority- owned real estate properties.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership had eighteen and twenty-four loans, respectively, that were impaired
and /or delinquent in payments greater than ninety days totaling approximately $52,327,000 and $121,565,000, respectively. This included fourteen and twenty-two matured loans totaling $45,176,000 and $119,084,000, respectively. In addition, two and five loans totaling approximately $1,490,000 and $3,318,000 were past maturity but current in monthly payments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (combined total of delinquent loans of $53,817,000 and $124,883,000, respectively). Of the impaired and past maturity loans, approximately $8,050,000 and $46,078,000, respectively, were in the process of foreclosure and $24,203,000 and $53,606,000, respectively, involved borrowers who were in bankruptcy as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Partnership foreclosed on ten and nine loans during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, with aggregate principal balances totaling $61,438,000 and $36,174,000, respectively, and obtained the properties via the trustee’s sales.
Of the total past maturity loans as of December 31, 2011, one loan with a principal balance of $800,000 had the maturity date extended for two years to December 31, 2013 subsequent to year end. In addition, subsequent to year end, the borrower on an impaired and past maturity loan that was previously in the process of foreclosure, filed for bankruptcy protection.
Of the $121,565,000 in loans that were greater than ninety days delinquent as of December 31, 2010, $46,200,000 remained delinquent as of December 31, 2011, $61,435,000 of such loans were foreclosed and became real estate owned by the Partnership during 2011, and $13,930,000 were paid off by the borrowers.
Following is a table representing the Partnership’s delinquency experience (over 90 days) and foreclosures by the Partnership as of and during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

If the delinquency rate increases on loans held by the Partnership, the interest income of the Partnership will be reduced by a proportionate amount. If a mortgage loan held by the Partnership is foreclosed on, the Partnership will acquire ownership of real property and the inherent benefits and detriments of such ownership.
Compensation to the General Partner
The General Partner receives various forms of compensation and reimbursement of expenses from the Partnership and compensation from borrowers under mortgage loans held by the Partnership.
Compensation and Reimbursement from the Partnership
Management fees to the General Partner are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and are determined at the sole discretion of the General Partner. The management fee is paid monthly and cannot exceed 2¾% annually of the average unpaid balance of the Partnership’s mortgage loans at the end of each of the 12 months in the calendar year. Since this fee is paid monthly, it could exceed 2¾% in one or more months, but the total fee in any one year is limited to a maximum of 2¾%, and any amount paid above this must be repaid by the General Partner to the Partnership. The General Partner is entitled to receive
a management fee on all loans, including those that are delinquent. The General Partner believes this is justified by the added effort associated with such loans. In order to maintain a competitive yield for the Partnership, the General Partner in the past has chosen not to take the maximum allowable compensation. A number of factors are considered in the General Partner’s monthly meeting to determine the yield to pay to partners. These factors include:
·
|
Interest rate environment and recent trends in interest rates on loans and similar investment vehicles;
|
·
|
Delinquencies on Partnership loans;
|
·
|
Level of cash held pending investment in mortgage loans; and
|
·
|
Real estate activity, including net operating income and losses from real estate and gains/losses from sales.
|
Once the yield is set and all other items of tax basis income and expense are determined for a particular month, the management fees are also set for that month. Large fluctuations in the management fees paid to the General Partner are normally a result of extraordinary items of income or expense within the Partnership (such as gains or losses from sales of real estate, etc.) or fluctuations in the level of delinquent loans.
If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the year ended December 31, 2011, the management fees would have been $2,909,000 (increase of $597,000), which would have increased the net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 2.4% and would have increased the net loss allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.088 from a loss of $0.086. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the year ended December 31, 2010, the management fees would have been $5,905,000 (increase of $3,939,000), which would have increased the net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 17.3% and would have increased the net loss allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.09 from a loss of $0.08.
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 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the management fees were 2.19%, 1.00%, 0.89%, 1.53%, 0.79% and 2.04% of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans, respectively. Although management fees as a percentage of mortgage loans have increased substantially between 2010 and 2011, the total dollar amount of management fees paid to the General Partner has only increased by approximately 17% because the weighted balance of the loan portfolio has decreased by approximately 46% between 2010 and 2011.
Servicing Fees
The General Partner has serviced all of the mortgage loans held by the Partnership and expects to continue this policy. The Partnership Agreement permits the General Partner to receive from the Partnership a monthly servicing 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 for the provision of such mortgage services on that type of loan or up to 0.25% per annum of the unpaid balance of mortgage loans held by the Partnership. The General Partner has historically been paid the maximum servicing fee allowable.
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 has an interest of approximately 1% of the limited partners’ capital accounts. The General Partner receives a carried interest of 0.5% of the aggregate capital accounts of the limited partners, which is additional compensation to the General Partner. The carried interest is recorded as an expense of the Partnership and as a contribution to the General Partner’s capital account as additional compensation. The carried interest is increased each month by 0.5% of the net increase in the capital accounts of the limited partners. If there is a net decrease in the capital accounts for a particular month, no carried interest is allocated for that month and the allocation to carried interest is “trued-up” to the correct 0.5% amount in the next month that there is an increase in the net change in capital accounts. Thus, if the Partnership generates an annual yield on capital of the limited partners of 10%, the General Partner would receive additional distributions on its carried interest of approximately $150,000 per year if $300,000,000 of partner capital were outstanding. In addition, if the Partnership were liquidated, the General Partner could receive up to $1,500,000 in capital distributions without having made equivalent cash contributions as a result of its carried interest. These capital distributions, however, will be made only after the limited partners have received capital distributions equaling 100% of their capital contributions.
Reimbursement of Other Expenses
The General Partner is reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities and the actual cost of services of non-management and non-supervisory personnel related to the administration of the Partnership (subject to certain limitations contained in the Partnership Agreement).
Compensation from Borrowers
In addition to compensation from the Partnership, the General Partner also receives compensation from borrowers under the Partnership’s mortgage loans arranged by the General Partner.
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. These fees may be paid at the placement, extension or refinancing of the loan or at the time of final repayment of the loan. The amount of these fees is determined by competitive conditions and the General Partner and may have a direct effect on the interest rate borrowers are willing to pay the Partnership.
Late Payment Charges
The General Partner is entitled to receive all late payment charges paid 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. Generally, on the majority of the Partnership’s loans, the late payment fee charged to the borrower for late payments is 10% of the payment amount. In addition, on the majority of the Partnership’s loans, the additional interest charge required to be paid by borrowers once a loan is past maturity is in the range of 3%-5% (paid in addition to the pre-default interest rate).
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).
Table of Compensation and Reimbursed Expenses
The following table summarizes the compensation and reimbursed expenses paid to the General Partner for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, showing actual amounts and the maximum allowable amounts for management and servicing fees. No other compensation was paid to the General Partner during these periods. The fees were established by the General Partner and were not determined by arms’-length negotiation.

* The management fees paid to the General Partner are determined by the General Partner within the limits set by the Partnership Agreement. An increase or decrease in the management fees paid directly impacts the yield paid to the limited partners.
Aggregate actual compensation paid by the Partnership and by borrowers to the General Partner during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, exclusive of expense reimbursement, was $3,531,000 and $2,684,000, respectively, or 2.0% and 1.2%, respectively, of partners’ capital. If the maximum amounts had been paid to the General Partner during these periods, the compensation, excluding reimbursements, would have been $4,128,000 and $6,623,000, respectively, or 2.3% and 3.1%, respectively, of partners’ capital, which would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 2.4% and 17.3%, respectively.
Acquisition and origination fees as a percentage of loans extended by the Partnership were 1.6% and 3.3% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The General Partner believes that the maximum allowable compensation payable to it is commensurate with the services provided. However, in order to maintain a competitive yield for the Partnership, the General Partner in the past has chosen not to take the maximum allowable compensation. If it chooses to take the maximum allowable in the future, the amount of net income available for distribution to limited partners could be reduced.
Principal Investment Objectives
The Partnership’s two principal investment objectives are to preserve the capital of the Partnership and provide monthly cash distributions to the limited partners. It is not an objective of the Partnership to provide tax-sheltered income. Under the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner would be permitted to modify these investment objectives without the vote of limited partners but has no authority to do anything that would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business as a mortgage investment limited partnership.
The Partnership invests primarily in mortgage loans on commercial, industrial and residential income-producing real property and land. Substantially all mortgage loans of the Partnership are arranged by the General Partner, which is licensed by the State of California as a real estate broker and California Finance Lender. During the course of its business, the General Partner is continuously evaluating prospective investments. The General Partner originates loans from mortgage brokers, previous borrowers, and by personal solicitations of new borrowers. The Partnership may purchase or participate in existing loans that were originated by other lenders. Such a loan might be obtained by the Partnership from a third party at an amount equal to or less than its face value. The General Partner evaluates all potential mortgage loan investments to determine if the security for the loan and the loan-to-value ratio meet the standards established for the Partnership, and if the loan meets the Partnership’s investment criteria and objectives.
The General Partner locates, identifies and arranges virtually all mortgages the Partnership invests in and makes all investment decisions on behalf of the Partnership in its sole discretion. The limited partners are not entitled to act on any proposed investment. In evaluating prospective investments, the General Partner considers such factors as the following:
·
|
the ratio of the amount of the investment to the value of the property by which it is secured;
|
·
|
the property’s potential for capital appreciation;
|
·
|
expected levels of rental and occupancy rates;
|
·
|
current and projected cash flow generated by the property;
|
·
|
potential for rental rate increases;
|
·
|
the marketability of the investment;
|
·
|
geographic location of the property;
|
·
|
the condition and use of the property;
|
·
|
the property’s income-producing capacity;
|
·
|
the quality, experience and creditworthiness of the borrower;
|
·
|
general economic conditions in the area where the property is located; and
|
·
|
any other factors that the General Partner believes are relevant.
|
The Partnership requires that each borrower obtain a title insurance policy as to the priority of the mortgage and the condition of title. The Partnership obtains an appraisal from a qualified, independent appraiser for each property securing a Partnership loan, which may have been commissioned by the borrower and also may precede the placement of the loan with the Partnership. Such appraisals are generally dated no greater than 12 months prior to the date of loan origination. Completed, written appraisals are not always obtained on Partnership loans prior to original funding, due to the quick underwriting and funding required on the majority of the Partnership’s loans. Appraisals will ordinarily take into account factors such as property location, age, condition, estimated replacement cost, community and site data, valuation of land, valuation by cost, valuation by income, economic market analysis, and correlation of the foregoing valuation methods. Appraisals are only estimates of value and cannot be relied on as measures of realizable value. Thus, an officer or employee of the General Partner will review each appraisal report, will conduct a physical inspection of each property and will rely on his or her own independent analysis in determining whether or not to make a particular mortgage loan.
The General Partner has the power to cause the Partnership to become a joint venturer, partner or member of an entity formed to own, develop, operate and/or dispose of properties owned or co-owned by the Partnership acquired through foreclosure of a loan. Currently, the Partnership is engaged in three such ventures for purposes of developing and disposing of properties acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure. The General Partner may enter into such ventures in the future.
Types of Mortgage Loans
The Partnership invests in first, second, and third mortgage loans, wraparound mortgage loans, construction mortgage loans on real property, and loans on leasehold interest mortgages. The Partnership does not ordinarily make or invest in mortgage loans with a maturity of more than 15 years, and most loans have terms of 1-3 years. Virtually all loans provide for monthly payments of interest and some also provide for principal amortization. Most Partnership loans provide for payments of interest only and a payment of principal in full at the end of the loan term. The General Partner does not generally originate loans with negative amortization provisions. The Partnership does not have any policies directing the portion of its assets that may be invested in construction or rehabilitation loans, loans secured by leasehold interests and second, third and wrap-around mortgage loans. However, the General Partner recognizes that these types of loans are riskier than first deeds of trust on income-producing, fee simple properties and will seek to minimize the amount of these types of loans in the Partnership’s portfolio. Additionally, the General Partner will consider that these loans are riskier when determining the rate of interest on the loans.
First Mortgage Loans
First mortgage loans are secured by first deeds of trust on real property. Such loans are generally for terms of 1-3 years. At origination, such loans do not usually exceed 80% of the appraised value of improved residential real property, 50% of the appraised value of unimproved real property, and 75% of the appraised value of commercial property.
Second and Wraparound Mortgage Loans
Second and wraparound mortgage loans are secured by second or wraparound deeds of trust on real property which is already subject to prior mortgage indebtedness, in an amount which, when added to the existing indebtedness, does not generally exceed 75% of the appraised value of the mortgaged property at origination. A wraparound loan is one or more junior mortgage loans having a principal amount equal to the outstanding balance under the existing mortgage loans, plus the amount actually to be advanced under the wraparound mortgage loan. Under a wraparound loan, the Partnership generally makes principal and interest payments on behalf of the borrower to the holders of the prior mortgage loans.
Third Mortgage Loans
Third mortgage loans are secured by third deeds of trust on real property which is already subject to prior first and second mortgage indebtedness, in an amount which, when added to the existing indebtedness, does not generally exceed 75% of the appraised value of the mortgaged property at origination.
Construction and Rehabilitation Loans
Construction and rehabilitation loans are loans made for both original development and renovation of property. Construction and rehabilitation loans invested in by the Partnership are generally secured by first deeds of trust on real property for terms of six months to two years. In addition, if the mortgaged property is being developed, the amount of such loans generally will not exceed 75% of the post-development appraised value at origination.
The Partnership will not usually disburse funds on a construction or rehabilitation loan until work in the previous phase of the project has been completed, and an independent inspector has verified completion of work to be paid for. In addition, the Partnership requires the submission of signed labor and material lien releases by the contractor in connection with each completed phase of the project prior to making any periodic disbursements of loan proceeds.
As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership’s loan portfolio does not contain any construction or rehabilitation loans.
Leasehold Interest Loans
Loans on leasehold interests are secured by an assignment of the borrower’s leasehold interest in the particular real property. Such loans are generally for terms of from six months to 15 years. Leasehold interest loans generally do not exceed 75% of the value of the leasehold interest at origination. The leasehold interest loans are either amortized over a period that is shorter than the lease term or have a maturity date prior to the date the lease terminates. These loans permit the General Partner to cure any default under the lease. As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership’s loan portfolio does not contain any leasehold interest loans.
Variable Rate Loans
Approximately 22.9% ($15,905,000) and 10.2% ($16,065,000) of the Partnership’s loans as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, bear interest at a variable rate. Variable rate loans originated by the General Partner may use indices such as the one, five and ten year Treasury Constant Maturity Index, the Prime Rate Index or the Monthly Weighted Average Cost of Funds Index for Eleventh District Savings Institutions (Federal Home Loan Bank Board).The General Partner may negotiate spreads over these indices of from 2.0% to 6.5%, depending upon market conditions at the time the loan is made.
The following is a summary of the various indices described above as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:

The majority of the Partnership’s variable rate loans use the five-year Treasury Constant Maturity Index. This index tends to be less sensitive to fluctuations in market rates. Thus, it is possible that the rates on the Partnership’s variable rate loans will rise slower than the rates of other loan investments available to the Partnership. However, most variable rate loans arranged by the General Partner contain provisions whereby the interest rate cannot fall below the starting rate (the “floor rate”). Thus, for variable rate loans, the Partnership is generally protected against declines in general market interest rates.
Interest Rate Caps
In the past, the Partnership has made variable rate loans that are subject to an interest rate cap, a ceiling that the rate of interest charged may not exceed. The inherent risk in interest rate caps occurs when general market interest rates exceed the cap rate. The Partnership currently has no loans with an interest rate cap.
Assumability
Variable rate loans of 5 to 10 year maturities are generally not assumable without the prior consent of the General Partner. The Partnership does not typically make or invest in other assumable loans. To minimize risk to the Partnership, any borrower assuming a loan is subject to the same stringent underwriting criteria as the original borrower.
Prepayment Penalties and Exit Fees
The Partnership’s loans typically do not contain prepayment penalties or exit fees. If the Partnership’s loans are at a high rate of interest in a market of falling interest rates, the failure to have a prepayment penalty provision or exit fee in the loan allows the borrower to refinance the loan at a lower rate of interest, thus providing a lower yield to the Partnership on the reinvestment of the prepayment proceeds. While Partnership loans do not contain prepayment penalties, many instead require the borrower to notify the General Partner of the intent to payoff within a specified period of time prior to payoff (usually 30 to 120 days). If this notification is not made within the proper time frame, the borrower may be charged interest for that number of days that notification was not received.
Balloon Payment
Substantially all Partnership loans 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.
Equity Interests and Participation in Real Property
As part of investing in or making a mortgage loan the Partnership may acquire an equity interest in the real property securing the loan in the form of a shared appreciation interest or other equity participation. The Partnership is not presently involved in any such arrangements.
Debt Coverage Standard for Mortgage Loans
Loans on commercial property generally require the net annual estimated cash flow to equal or exceed the annual payments required on the mortgage loan.
Loan Limit Amount
The Partnership limits the amount of its investment in any single mortgage loan, and the amount of its investment in mortgage loans to any one borrower, to 10% of the total Partnership assets as of the date the loan is made.
Loans to Affiliates
The Partnership will not provide loans to the General Partner, affiliates of the General Partner, or any limited partnership or entity affiliated with or organized by the General Partner except for cash advances made to the General Partner, its affiliates, agents or attorneys (“Indemnified Party”) for reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action or proceeding if:
·
|
such suit, action or proceeding relates to or arises out of any action or inaction on the part of the Indemnified Party in the performance of its duties or provision of its services on behalf of the Partnership;
|
·
|
such suit, action or proceeding is initiated by a third party who is not a Limited Partner; and
|
·
|
the Indemnified Party undertakes by written agreement to repay any funds advanced in the cases in which such Indemnified Party would not be entitled to indemnification under Article IV. 5(a) of the Partnership Agreement.
|
Purchase of Loans from Affiliates
The Partnership may purchase loans deemed suitable for acquisition from the General Partner or its Affiliates only if the General Partner makes or purchases such loans in its own name and temporarily holds title thereto for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of such loans, and provided that such loans are purchased by the Partnership for a price no greater than the cost of such loans to the General Partner (except compensation in accordance with Article IX of the Partnership Agreement), there is no other benefit arising out of such transactions to the General Partner, such loans are not in default, and otherwise satisfy all requirements of Article VI of the Partnership Agreement, including:
·
|
The Partnership shall not make or invest in mortgage loans on any one property if at the time of acquisition of the loan the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including loans by the Partnership, would exceed an amount equal to 80% of the appraised value of the property as determined by independent appraisal, unless substantial justification exists because of the presence of other documented underwriting criteria.
|
·
|
The Partnership will limit any single mortgage loan and limit its mortgage loans to any one borrower to not more than 10% of the total Partnership assets as of the date the loan is made or purchased.
|
·
|
The Partnership may not invest in or make mortgage loans on unimproved real property is an amount in excess of 25% of the total Partnership assets.
|
At times when there is a decline in mortgage originations by the General Partner and the Partnership has funds to invest in new loans, the General Partner may purchase loans from or participate in loans with other lending institutions such as banks or mortgage bankers.
Borrowing
The Partnership may incur indebtedness for the purpose of:
·
|
investing in mortgage loans;
|
·
|
to prevent default under mortgage loans that are senior to the Partnership’s mortgage loans;
|
·
|
to discharge senior mortgage loans if this becomes necessary to protect the Partnership’s investment in mortgage loans; or
|
·
|
to operate or develop a property that the Partnership acquires under a defaulted loan.
|
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 banks that provided interim financing on mortgage loans invested in by the Partnership. The line of credit was paid in full by the Partnership in December 2010. 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.
Repayment of Mortgages on Sales of Properties
The Partnership invests in mortgage loans and does not normally acquire real estate or engage in real estate operations or development (other than when the Partnership forecloses on a loan and takes over management of such foreclosed property). The Partnership also does not invest in mortgage loans primarily for sale or other disposition in the ordinary course of business.
The Partnership may require a borrower to repay a mortgage loan upon the sale of the mortgaged property rather than allow the buyer to assume the existing loan. This may be done if the General Partner determines that repayment appears to be advantageous to the Partnership based upon then-current interest rates, the length of time that the loan has been held by the Partnership, the credit-worthiness of the buyer and the objectives of the Partnership. The net proceeds to the Partnership from any sale or repayment are invested in new mortgage loans, held as cash or distributed to the partners at such times and in such intervals as the General Partner in its sole discretion determines.
No Trust or Investment Company Activities
The Partnership has not qualified as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, therefore, is not subject to the restrictions on its activities that are imposed on real estate investment trusts. The Partnership conducts its business so that it is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. It is the intention of the Partnership to conduct its business in such manner as not to be deemed a “dealer” in mortgage loans for federal income tax purposes.
Miscellaneous Policies and Procedures
The Partnership will not:
·
|
issue securities senior to the Units or issue any Units or other securities for other than cash;
|
·
|
invest in the securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control, except in connection with the exercise of its rights as a secured lender;
|
·
|
underwrite securities of other issuers; or
|
·
|
offer securities in exchange for property.
|
Competitive Conditions
The Partnership’s major competitors in providing mortgage loans are banks, savings and loan associations, thrifts, conduit lenders, and other entities both larger and smaller than the Partnership. The Partnership has been competitive in large part because the General Partner generates substantially all of its loans and it is able to provide expedited loan approval, processing and funding. The General Partner has been in the business of making or investing in mortgage loans in Northern California since 1951 and has developed a reputation for performance and fairness within the field.
For several years prior to 2010 and 2011, a variety of factors, including the entry into the mortgage industry of lenders with large supplies of cash willing to bear increased risk to obtain ostensibly higher yields, resulted in decreased lending opportunities for the Partnership. However, due to the substantial decline in the housing and commercial markets over the past three years, many lenders have experienced severe liquidity issues. The General Partner believes that these liquidity issues have reduced the competition for commercial loans as many lenders do not have access to lendable capital. The Partnership has not been able to capitalize on this competitive opportunity by making new loans because the Partnership has also experienced liquidity issues, restrictions imposed by its line of credit until December 2010, and a large increase in limited partner withdrawal requests.
Employees
The Partnership does not have employees. The General Partner, Owens Financial Group, Inc., provides all of the employees necessary for the Partnership’s operations. As of December 31, 2011, the General Partner had 17 employees. All employees are at-will employees and none are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Risks Associated with the Business of the Partnership
The Partnership invests primarily in mortgage loans secured by real property and interests in real property. It is therefore subject to the usual risks associated with real estate financing, as well as certain special risks, as described below.
Loan delinquencies and foreclosures may contribute to reductions in net income (yield) paid to limited partners and may lead to losses allocated to partners
As of December 31, 2011, mortgage loans of approximately $52,327,000 were more than 90 days delinquent in payments. In addition, the Partnership’s investment in loans that were past maturity (delinquent in principal) but current in monthly payments was approximately $1,490,000 as of December 31, 2011 (combined total of delinquent loans of $53,817,000 compared to $124,883,000 as of December 31, 2010). Of the impaired and past maturity loans as of December 31, 2011, approximately $8,050,000 were in the process of foreclosure and $24,203,000 involved borrowers in bankruptcy. The Partnership foreclosed on ten loans during 2011 with aggregate principal balances totaling $61,438,000 and obtained the properties or joint interests in the properties.
It is highly likely that the Partnership will continue to experience reduced net income (yield) or further losses in the future. The General Partner 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 result in 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.
Defaults on the Partnership’s mortgage loans will reduce Partnership income and your distributions
Failure of a borrower to pay interest or repay a loan could have adverse consequences to the Partnership’s income. Examples of these are the following:
·
|
Any failure by a borrower to repay loans and/or interest on loans will reduce the liquidity and income of the Partnership and distributions to partners;
|
·
|
Since the General Partner retains all late payment charges collected on defaulted loans, the Partnership will not be able to partially offset any loss of income from the defaulted loans with these fees;
|
·
|
The General Partner is entitled to continue to receive management and loan servicing fees on delinquent loans;
|
·
|
The Partnership may not be able to resolve the default prior to foreclosure of the property securing the loan;
|
·
|
Properties foreclosed upon may not generate sufficient income from operations to meet expenses and other debt service;
|
·
|
Operation of foreclosed properties may require the Partnership to spend substantial funds for an extended period;
|
·
|
Subsequent income and capital appreciation from the foreclosed properties to the Partnership may be less than competing investments; and
|
·
|
The proceeds from sales of foreclosed properties may be less than the Partnership’s investment in the properties.
|
Partnership Results are Subject to Fluctuations in Interest Rates and Other Economic Conditions Which Affect Yields
The Partnership’s results of operations will vary with changes in interest rates and with the performance of the relevant real estate markets. If the economy is healthy, more people are expected to borrow money to acquire, develop and renovate real property. In the current economy, real estate development has slowed and mortgage defaults have risen. In addition, there has been a tightening in the credit markets and real estate lending has slowed considerably, which has resulted in fewer Partnership loans being repaid in a timely manner. All of these factors, coupled with a significant increase in limited partner withdrawal requests, have resulted in reduced Partnership liquidity and income. Currently, the Partnership is not able to invest in new mortgage loans due to cash flow constraints and certain restrictions on new investment in mortgage loans imposed by the Partnership Agreement when the Partnership does not have sufficient funds to cover previously requested withdrawals that are permitted to be paid. The General Partner believes that the Partnership will have sufficient cash flow to sustain operations over the next year, but may not have the cash available to enable it to honor withdrawal requests, make pro-rata partner distributions or make new investments during that time.
|
Unexpected Declines in Values of Secured Properties Could Cause Losses in Event of Foreclosures and Decreased Distributions to You
Declines in real estate values could impair the Partnership’s security in outstanding loans, and if such a loan required foreclosure, it might reduce the amount the Partnership has available to distribute to limited partners.
The Partnership generally makes its loans with the following maximum loan to appraised value ratios:
·
|
First Mortgage Loans ---
|
80% of improved residential property,
50% of unimproved property,
75% of commercial property;
·
|
Second and Wraparound Loans ---
|
total indebtedness of 75%; and
·
|
Third Mortgage Loans ---
|
|
total indebtedness of 70%.
|
Values of properties can decline below their appraised values during the term of the associated Partnership loans. In addition, appraisals are only opinions of the appraisers of property values at a certain time. Material declines in values could result in Partnership loans being under secured with subsequent losses if such loans must be foreclosed. The General Partner may vary from the above ratios in evaluating loan requests in its sole discretion.
As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership maintained an allowance for loan losses of approximately $24,542,000. This includes a specific allowance of $22,292,000 on seven loans and a general allowance of $2,250,000.
Foreclosures Create Additional Ownership Risks
The Partnership foreclosed on ten loans during the year ended December 31, 2011 with aggregate principal balances totaling $61,438,000 and obtained the properties via the trustee’s sales. In addition, as of the date of this filing, three delinquent loans with aggregate principal balances totaling $8,050,000 have had notices of default filed or are in the process of foreclosure.
When the Partnership acquires property by foreclosure, it has economic and liability risks as the owner, such as:
·
|
Earning less income and reduced cash flows on foreclosed properties than could be earned and received on mortgage loans;
|
·
|
Not being able to realize sufficient amounts from sales of the properties to avoid losses;
|
·
|
Properties being acquired with one or more co-owners (called tenants-in-common) where development or sale requires written agreement or consent by all; without timely agreement or consent, the Partnership could suffer a loss from being unable to develop or sell the property;
|
·
|
Maintaining occupancy of the properties;
|
·
|
Controlling operating expenses;
|
·
|
Coping with general and local market conditions;
|
·
|
Complying with changes in laws and regulations pertaining to taxes, use, zoning and environmental protection; and
|
·
|
Possible liability for injury to persons and property.
|
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership recorded impairment losses on twelve of its real estate properties held for sale and investment in the aggregate amount of approximately $15,023,000.
Development on Property Acquired by the Partnership Creates Risks of Ownership a Lender Does Not Have
When the Partnership has acquired property by foreclosure or otherwise as a lender, it may develop the property, either singly or in combination with other persons or entities. This could be done in the form of a joint venture, limited liability company or partnership, with the General Partner and/or unrelated third parties. This development can create the following risks:
·
|
Reliance upon the skill and financial stability of third-party developers and contractors;
|
·
|
Inability to obtain governmental permits;
|
·
|
Delays in construction of improvements;
|
·
|
Increased costs during development; and
|
·
|
Economic and other factors affecting sale or leasing of developed property.
|
Larger Loans Result in Less Diversity and May Increase Risk
As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership was invested in a total of 25 mortgage loans, with an aggregate face value of $69,421,876. The average value of those loans was approximately $3,306,000, and the median value was $1,279,000. There were ten of such loans with a face value each of 3% or more of the aggregate face value of all loans, and the largest loan relationship had a total face value of 35% of total Partnership loans. The Partnership Agreement permits investment in any single mortgage loan with a face value up to 10% of the total Partnership assets as of the date the loan is made.
As a general rule, the Partnership can decrease risk of loss from delinquent mortgage loans by investing in a greater total number of loans. Investing in fewer, larger loans generally decreases diversification of the portfolio and increases risk of loss and possible reduction of yield to investors in the Partnership in the case of a delinquency of such a loan. However, since larger loans generally will carry a somewhat higher interest rate to the Partnership, the General Partner may determine, from time to time, that a relatively larger loan is advisable for the Partnership, particularly, as has occurred at times in the recent past, when smaller loans that are appropriate for investment by the Partnership are not available.
Incorrect Original Collateral Assessment (Valuation) Could Result in Losses and Decreased Distributions to You
Appraisals are obtained from qualified, independent appraisers on all properties securing trust deeds, which may have been commissioned by the borrower and also may precede the placement of the loan with the Partnership. However, there is a risk that the appraisals prepared by these third parties are incorrect, which could result in defaults and/or losses related to these loans.
Completed, written appraisals are not always obtained on Partnership loans prior to original funding, due to the quick underwriting and funding required on the majority of Partnership loans. Although the loan officers often discuss value with the appraisers and perform other due diligence and calculations to determine property value prior to funding, there is a risk that the Partnership may make a loan on a property where the appraised value is less than estimated, which could increase the loan’s LTV ratio and subject the Partnership to additional risk.
The Partnership may make a loan secured by a property on which the borrower previously commissioned an appraisal. Although the Partnership generally requires such appraisal to have been made within one year of funding the loan, there is a risk that the appraised value is less than actual value, increasing the loan’s LTV ratio and subjecting the Partnership to additional risk.
Geographical Concentration of Mortgages May Result in Additional Delinquencies
Northern California real estate secured approximately 73% of the total mortgage loans held by the Partnership as of December 31, 2011. Northern California consists of Monterey, Kings, Fresno, Tulare and Inyo counties and all counties north of those. In addition, 11%, 6%, 4%, 3% and 3% of total mortgage loans were secured by Arizona, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington and Hawaii real estate, respectively. These concentrations may increase the risk of delinquencies on Partnership loans when the real estate or economic conditions of one or more of those areas are weaker than elsewhere, for reasons such as:
·
|
economic recession in that area;
|
·
|
overbuilding of commercial properties; and
|
·
|
relocations of businesses outside the area, due to factors such as costs, taxes and the regulatory environment.
|
These factors also tend to make more commercial real estate available on the market and reduce values, making suitable mortgages less available to the Partnership. In addition, such factors could tend to increase defaults on existing loans.
Commercial real estate markets in California have suffered with the worsening economy, and the Partnership expects that this may continue to adversely affect the Partnership’s operating results. In addition, approximately 84% of the Partnership’s mortgage loans are secured by real estate in the states of California and Arizona, which have experienced dramatic reductions in real estate values over the past four years.
Investments in construction and rehabilitation loans may be riskier than loans secured by operating properties
Although the Partnership’s loan portfolio does not contain any construction or rehabilitation mortgage loans, and the Partnership has no outstanding construction or rehabilitation loan commitments as of December 31, 2011, the Partnership has made construction and rehabilitation loans in the past and the Partnership may make additional construction and rehabilitation loan commitments in the future. Construction and rehabilitation mortgage loans may be riskier than loans secured by properties with an operating history, because:

The application of the loan proceeds to the construction or rehabilitation project must be assured;
|
·
|
The completion of planned construction or rehabilitation may require additional financing by the borrower; and
|
·
|
Permanent financing of the property may be required in addition to the construction or rehabilitation loan.
|
Investments in loans secured by leasehold interests may be riskier than loans secured by fee interests in properties
Although the Partnership’s loan portfolio does not contain any loans secured by leasehold interests as of December 31, 2011, the Partnership has made such loans in the past and may resume leasehold-secured lending in the future. Loans secured by leasehold interests are riskier than loans secured by real property because the loan is subordinate to the lease between the property owner (lessor) and the borrower, and the Partnership’s rights in the event the borrower defaults are limited to stepping into the position of the borrower under the lease, subject to its requirements of rents and other obligations and period of the lease.
Investments in second, third and wraparound mortgage loans may be riskier than loans secured by first deeds of trust
Second, third and wraparound mortgage loans (those under which the Partnership generally makes the payments to the holders of the prior liens) are riskier than first mortgage loans because of:
·
|
Their subordinate position in the event of default; and
|
·
|
There could be a requirement to cure liens of a senior loan holder and, if not done, the Partnership would lose its entire interest in the loan.
|
As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership’s loan portfolio contained 17.4% in second mortgage loans and 12.4% in third mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership was invested in no wraparound mortgage loans.
Loans with Balloon Payments Involve a Higher Risk of Default
Substantially all Partnership loans 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.
Partnership Loans Permit Prepayment Which May Lower Yields
The majority of the Partnership’s loans do not include prepayment penalties for a borrower paying off a loan prior to maturity. The absence of a prepayment penalty in the Partnership’s loans may lead borrowers to refinance higher interest rate loans in a market of falling interest rates. This would then require the Partnership to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in loans or alternative short-term investments with lower interest rates and a corresponding lower yield to partners. However, since the majority of Partnership loans have interest rates that are higher than competing lenders, most borrowers would not make loans with the Partnership if they were required to pay a prepayment penalty.
|
Equity or Cash Flow Participation in Loans Could Result in Loss of Secured Position in Loans
The Partnership may obtain participation in the appreciation in value or in the cash flow from a secured property. If a borrower defaults and claims that this participation makes the loan comparable to equity (like stock) in a joint venture, the Partnership might lose its secured position as lender in the property. Other creditors of the borrower might then wipe out or substantially reduce the Partnership’s investment. The Partnership could also be exposed to the risks associated with being an owner of real property. The Partnership is not presently involved in any such arrangements.
If a third party were to assert successfully that a Partnership loan was actually a joint venture with the borrower, there might be a risk that the Partnership could be liable as joint venturer for the wrongful acts of the borrower toward the third party.
Intense Competition in the Partnership’s Business Affects Availability of Suitable Loans
Prior to the recent substantial decline in the housing market, the mortgage lending business was highly competitive. Although competition has lessened, the Partnership still competes with numerous established entities, some of which have more financial resources and experience in the mortgage lending business than the General Partner. The Partnership has encountered significant competition from banks, insurance companies, savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers, pension funds, real estate investment trusts, and other lenders with objectives similar in whole or in part to those of the Partnership. Strong competitive conditions tend to lower interest rates on Partnership loans.
|
Interim Investments, Pending Investment in Suitable Mortgage Loans, Provide Lower Yields
A decrease in lending opportunities to the Partnership can result in an increase in excess cash that must be invested in lower yielding liquid investments. Interest returns on short-term interim investments, pending investment in suitable mortgage loans, are lower than returns on mortgage loans, which may reduce the yield to holders of Partnership Units, depending on how long these non-mortgage investments are held. In an effort to reduce the amount of excess cash that must be invested in lower yielding investments, the General Partner has chosen to close the Partnership to new contributions from limited partners for periods of time in the past.
When the Partnership invests in non-mortgage, short-term investments, using proceeds from the sale of Units, the purchasers of those Units will nevertheless participate equally in income distributions from the Partnership with holders of Units whose sale proceeds have been invested in mortgage loans, based solely on relative capital account amounts. This will favor, for a time, holders of Units whose purchase monies were invested in non-mortgage investments, to the detriment of holders of Units whose purchase monies are invested in normally higher-yielding mortgage loans.
Some Losses That Might Occur to Borrowers May Not be Insured and May Result in Defaults
Partnership loans require that borrowers carry adequate hazard insurance for the benefit of the Partnership. Some events are however either uninsurable or insurance coverage is economically not practicable. Losses from earthquakes, floods or mudslides, for example, which occur in California, may be uninsured and cause losses to the Partnership on entire loans. No such loan loss has occurred to date.
If a borrower allows insurance to lapse, an event of loss could occur before the Partnership knows of the lapse and has time to obtain insurance itself.
Insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover property losses, even though the General Partner imposes insurance requirements on borrowers that it believes are adequate.
Hazardous or Toxic Substances Could Impose Unknown Liabilities on the Partnership
Various federal, state and local laws can impose liability on owners, operators, and sometimes lenders for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the person knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the substances.
When the Partnership forecloses on a mortgage loan, it becomes the owner of the property. As owner, the Partnership could become liable for remediating any hazardous or toxic contamination, which costs could exceed the value of the property. Other costs or liabilities that could result include the following:
·
|
damages to third parties or a subsequent purchaser of the property;
|
·
|
loss of revenues during remediation;
|
·
|
loss of tenants and rental revenues;
|
·
|
substantial reduction in value of the property;
|
·
|
inability to sell the property; or
|
·
|
default by a borrower if it must pay for remediation.
|
Any of these could create a material adverse effect on Partnership assets and/or profitability. During the course of the due diligence for the sale of properties owned by the Partnership in Santa Clara, California during 2008, it was discovered that the properties were contaminated and that remediation and monitoring may be required. The parties to the sale agreed to enter into an Operating Agreement to restructure the arrangement as a joint venture. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Partnership is responsible for all costs related to the environmental remediation on the properties and has indemnified its joint venture partner against all obligations related to the contamination. The Partnership accrued approximately $762,000 as an estimate of the expected costs to monitor and remediate the contamination on the properties for the year ended December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2011, approximately $430,000 remains accrued. The Partnership is unable to estimate the maximum amount to be paid under this guarantee, as the Operating Agreement does not limit the obligations of the Partnership.
Partnership Borrowing Involves Risks if Defaults Occur and Your Distributions May Decrease
Any borrowing by the Partnership may increase the risk of limited partner investments and reduce the amount the Partnership has available to distribute to limited partners. Until December 2010, the Partnership had a bank line of credit, under authority granted by the Partnership Agreement, which the Partnership had used from time to time to acquire or make mortgage loans. The line of credit was repaid in full by the Partnership in December 2010. The Partnership no longer has access to funds from a line of credit, but may decide to obtain a new credit line in the future, or otherwise resume borrowing. The Partnership may incur other indebtedness to:
·
|
prevent defaults under senior loans or discharge them entirely if that becomes necessary to protect the Partnership’s interests; or
|
·
|
assist in the development or operation of any real property, which the Partnership has taken over as a result of a default.
|
The total amount of any borrowing cannot exceed at any time 50% of the aggregate fair market value of all Partnership mortgage loans.
Lack of Liquidity of Your Investment Increases its Risk
General
You may not be able to obtain cash for Units you own on a timely basis. There are a number of restrictions on your ability to sell or transfer your Units or to have them repurchased by the Partnership. These are summarized in this Risk Factor.
No Free Tradability of Units
The Units are restricted as to free tradability under the Federal Income Tax Laws. In order to preserve the Partnership’s status as a limited partnership and prevent being taxable as a corporation, you will not be free to sell or transfer your Units at will, and they are likely not to be accepted by a lender as security for borrowing.
There is no market for the Units, public or private, and there is a likelihood that one will never develop. You must be prepared to hold your Units as a long-term investment.
To comply with applicable tax laws, the General Partner may refuse on advice of tax counsel to consent to a transfer or assignment of Units. The General Partner must consent to any assignment that gives the assignee the right to become a limited partner, and its consent to that transaction may be withheld in its absolute discretion.
The California Commissioner of Corporations has also imposed a restriction on sale or transfer, except to specified persons, because of the investor suitability standards that apply to a purchaser of Units who is a resident of California. Units may not be sold or transferred without consent of the Commissioner, except to family members, other holders of Units, and the Partnership.
Repurchase of Units by the Partnership is Restricted
If you purchase Units, you must own them for at least one year before you can request the Partnership to repurchase any of those Units. This restriction does not apply to Units purchased through the Partnership’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan. Some of the other restrictions on repurchase of Units are the following:
·
|
You must give a written request to withdraw at least 60 days prior to the withdrawal;
|
·
|
Payments are made only to the extent the Partnership has available cash, and the determination of the amount of cash available is subject to substantial discretion of the General Partner;
|
·
|
There is no reserve fund for repurchases;
|
·
|
You may withdraw a maximum of $100,000 during any calendar quarter;
|
·
|
The total amount withdrawn by all limited partners during any calendar year, combined with the total amount of net proceeds distributed pro rata to limited partners during the year, cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate capital accounts of the limited partners, except upon final liquidation of the Partnership;
|
·
|
Any withdrawal that reduces a limited partners’ capital account below $2,000 may lead to the General Partner distributing all remaining amounts in the account to close it out;
|
·
|
Withdrawal requests are honored in the order in which they are received; and
|
·
|
Payments are only made by the Partnership on the last day of any month.
|
If the Partnership does not sell sufficient Units, if principal payments on existing loans decrease, or if the General Partner decides to distribute net proceeds pro rata to limited partners, your ability to have your Units repurchased may be adversely affected, especially if the total amount of requested withdrawals should increase substantially. To help prevent lack of such liquidity, the Partnership will not refinance or invest in new loans using payments of loan principal by borrowers, new invested capital of limited partners or proceeds from the sale of real estate, unless it has sufficient funds to cover previously requested withdrawals that are permitted to be paid. All 2009, 2010 and 2011 scheduled withdrawals in the total amount of approximately $84,000,000 (based on tax basis capital) were not made because the Partnership did not have sufficient available cash to make such withdrawals, was restricted under its bank line of credit, and needed to have funds in reserve for operations. The line of credit was paid off in full by the Partnership in December 2010, and therefore the Partnership is no longer subject to its restrictions on partner distributions and repurchases. Thus, when funds become available for distribution from net proceeds, the General Partner is permitted to make a pro rata distribution to all partners of up to 10% of limited partner capital per calendar year, which will prevent any limited partner withdrawals during the same calendar year. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership made pro rata capital distributions to partners aggregating approximately $11,588,000.
On February 29, 2012, the General Partner mailed a letter to all limited partners indicating that the Partnership is in the process of developing a plan that, if proposed and approved by the majority of limited partners, may provide an additional liquidity opportunity for limited partners. There can be no assurance that such an additional liquidity opportunity will be made available. For more information see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation- Certain Additional Events.”
Limited Partners Have No Control Over Operations of the Partnership
California law prevents limited partners from involvement in the conduct of Partnership business.
Under California limited partnership law, you cannot exercise any control over the day to day conduct of business of the Partnership. The General Partner has the sole power to do so. However, a majority of the limited partners can take action and bind the Partnership to:
·
|
dissolve the Partnership,
|
·
|
change the nature of the Partnership’s business,
|
·
|
remove and replace the General Partner,
|
·
|
amend the Partnership Agreement, or
|
·
|
approve a merger with another entity or sell all of the assets of the Partnership.
|
Removal or withdrawal of the General Partner could terminate the Partnership.
The Partnership has only one General Partner, Owens Financial Group, Inc. If it withdraws or is terminated as General Partner by its dissolution or bankruptcy, the Partnership itself will be dissolved unless a majority of the limited partners agree to continue the Partnership, and, within six months, admit one or more successor general partners.
Liquidity of the General Partner
The Partnership depends on the General Partner for the conduct of all Partnership business including, but not limited to, the origination of and accounting for all mortgage loans and the management of all Partnership assets including mortgage loans and real estate. In order to obtain a waiver of financial covenant violations under its bank line of credit agreement, and later obtain an extension of its July 2009 maturity date until July 2010, the General Partner’s line of credit was frozen in March 2009. As additional terms of the General Partner’s modified credit line, the General Partner also agreed not to incur any new indebtedness, to new financial covenants and to an increased interest rate and interest rate floor on its outstanding credit line borrowings, among other requirements. In December 2010, the General Partner entered into an agreement that converted its line of credit balance to a fully amortized loan payable over three years and modified the General Partner’s financial covenants. The General Partner is current on all payment terms of the modified agreement. However, due to these credit line restrictions, its reduced ability to originate new mortgage loans, anticipated reduced fees to be paid to the General Partner by
the Partnership during 2012, and the current general economic environment, the General Partner is experiencing, and will continue to experience, reduced liquidity. The General Partner primarily has been funding, and will continue to fund, the majority of its operating cash requirements from its collection of management and servicing fees earned from the Partnership. Should the General Partner’s liquidity problem continue or worsen, the General Partner might be required to outsource certain Partnership functions that were previously provided by the General Partner to firms that may or may not have comparable experience in managing assets such as those held by the Partnership.
Only the General Partner selects mortgage loans.
The General Partner has sole discretion in selecting the mortgage loans to be invested in by the Partnership, so the limited partners have no control over the choice of mortgage loans to be acquired with their invested funds. There are currently only five loan brokers obtaining loans for the Partnership that are employed by the General Partner. If any one of these brokers were to leave the General Partner or become ill for a long period of time, it could impact the amount of new loans originations and the monitoring of existing loans for the Partnership.
The General Partner could choose loans with less favorable terms.
The General Partner in selecting mortgage loans for the Partnership has the discretion to set or negotiate the terms of the loans, such as interest rates, term and loan-to-value ratios, that could vary from the targeted values that it has otherwise established .
The Partnership relies exclusively on the General Partner to originate or arrange loans to be invested in by the Partnership.
The General Partner originates or arranges all of the mortgage loans purchased by the Partnership. The General Partner receives referrals for loans from existing and prior borrowers and commercial loan brokers and occasionally purchases loans from other lending institutions on behalf of the Partnership.
The General Partner can change investment objectives and controls the daily conduct of the Partnership’s business.
Although the General Partner may not change the nature of the Partnership’s business without majority approval by the limited partners, it does establish Partnership investment objectives and may modify those without the approval of the limited partners.
The Partnership’s compliance with Rule 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is dependent solely on the General Partner.
The General Partner’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). As the Partnership has no employees of its own, the Partnership is dependent on the employees and management of the General Partner to establish, maintain and report upon internal control over financial reporting.
Conflicts of Interest Risks
The General Partner and its affiliates are subject to various conflicts of interest in managing the Partnership. The Partnership pays the General Partner substantial fees that are not determined by arms’-length negotiations.
Payment of Fees to General Partner
Acquisition and origination fees to the General Partner are generally payable up front from payments made by third party borrowers. These fees are compensation for the evaluation, origination, extension and refinancing of loans for the borrowers and may be paid at placement, extension or refinancing of the loan or at the time of final repayment of the loan. Such fees may create a conflict of interest for the General Partner when determining whether particular loans are suitable as investments for the Partnership. Because the General Partner receives all of these fees, the Partnership’s interests will diverge from those of the General Partner when the General Partner decides whether it should charge the borrower a higher rate of interest on a loan or higher fees. The General Partner could negotiate higher loan origination fees for itself in exchange for a lower interest rate to the detriment of the Partnership. The General Partner employs no formal procedures to address this potential conflict of interest and the limited partners must rely on the fiduciary duty of the General Partner to deal fairly with the limited partners in this situation. The General Partner earned an immaterial amount from origination fees for Partnership loans in 2010 and 2011, but in prior years, the General Partner received larger origination fees from Partnership loans. If the Partnership resumes substantial new lending activities, origination fees collected by the General Partner would increase substantially.
Maximum Compensation Not Received by General Partner
The monthly management and loan servicing fees are paid to the General Partner, as determined by the General Partner within the limits set by the Partnership Agreement. These are obligations of the Partnership. Accordingly, the General Partner may continue to receive these fees even if the Partnership is generating insufficient income to make distributions to the limited partners.
|
In prior periods, the General Partner has elected to receive less than the maximum management fees it is entitled to pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, which is 2 ¾% annually of the average unpaid balance of the Partnership’s mortgage loans at the end of each month. Because the General Partner has not elected to receive all of the management fees that it was otherwise entitled to receive in all prior periods, the Partnership’s performance (and yield/distributions to limited partners) in those prior periods may be better than the Partnership’s performance in future periods in which the General Partner elects to receive up to the maximum management fees. In 2011, the General Partner elected to receive a management fee of 2.19%, compared to 1.00% in 2010, 0.89% in 2009 and 1.53% in 2008. The limited partners must rely on the fiduciary duty of the General Partner to deal fairly with the limited partners in those situations. Although management fees as a percentage of mortgage loans has increased substantially between 2010 and 2011, the total amount of management fees paid to the General Partner has only increased by approximately 17% because the weighted balance of the loan portfolio has decreased by approximately 46% between 2010 and 2011.
General Partner Not Full Time
The Partnership does not have its own officers, directors, or employees. The General Partner supervises and controls the business affairs of the Partnership, locates investment opportunities for the Partnership and renders certain other services. The General Partner devotes only such time to the Partnership’s affairs as may be reasonably necessary to conduct its business. The General Partner conducts business as a real estate broker separate from the Partnership. While the General Partner has investments in various real estate joint ventures in which it acts as a general partner, member or managing member, it does not act as the general partner or sponsor of any other real estate mortgage investment program.
|
Taxation Risks
Tax consequences can vary among investors.
The tax consequences of investing in the Partnership may differ materially, depending on whether the limited partner is an individual, corporation, trust, partnership or tax-exempt entity. You should consult your own tax advisor about investing in the Partnership.
Your cash flow and distributions may be reduced if the Partnership is taxed as a corporation.
Tax counsel to the Partnership has given its opinion as of April 1, 2011, that under Treasury Regulations adopted in 1996, the Partnership will retain its previous classification as a partnership for tax purposes. Tax counsel has also given its opinion as of that date that the Partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership”, taxable as a corporation.
Of course, it is possible that this treatment might change because of future changes in tax laws or regulations. The Partnership will not apply for a ruling from the IRS that it agrees with tax counsel’s opinion.
If the Partnership were taxable as a corporation, it would be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The limited partners would then not be able to deduct their share of the Partnership’s deductions and credits. They would be taxed on the distributions they receive from the Partnership’s income. Taxation as a corporation would result in a reduction in yield and cash flow, if any, of the Units.
If the Partnership were not engaged in a trade or business, your share of expense deductions would be reduced.
If you are an individual investor and the IRS asserts that the Partnership is not engaged in a trade or business, then your share of expenses would be deductible only to the extent all your other “miscellaneous itemized deductions” exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income.
If you finance the purchase of your Units, interest you pay might not be deductible.
Under the “investment interest” limitation of the tax code, the IRS might disallow any deductions you take on any financing you use to purchase Units. Thus, you may not be able to deduct those financing costs from your taxable income.
An IRS or state audit of the Partnership’s returns, books and records could result in an audit of your tax returns.
If the Partnership is audited by the IRS and it makes determinations adverse to us, including disallowance of deductions the Partnership has taken, the IRS may decide to audit your income tax returns. Any such audit could result in adjustments to your tax return for items of income, deductions or credits, and the imposition of penalties and interest for the adjustments and additional expenses for filing amended income tax returns.
Inconsistencies between federal, state and local tax rules may adversely affect your cash flow, if any, from investment in Partnership Units.
If the Partnership is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes but as a corporation for state or local income tax purposes, or if deductions that are allowed by the IRS are not allowed by state or local regulators, your cash flow and distributions from Partnership Units would be adversely affected.
Unrelated business income of the Partnership would subject tax-exempt investors to taxation of Partnership income.
If you as an investor are a tax-exempt entity, and all or a portion of Partnership income were to be deemed “unrelated trade or business income”, you would be subject to tax on that income.
|
Retirement Plan Risks
An investment in the Partnership may not qualify as an appropriate investment under all retirement plans.
There are special considerations that apply to pension or profit sharing plans or IRAs investing in Units. If you are investing the assets of a pension, profit sharing, 401(k), Keogh or other qualified retirement plan or the assets of an IRA in the Partnership, you could incur liability or subject the plan to taxation if:
·
|
your investment is not consistent with your fiduciary obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code;
|
·
|
your investment is not made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing your plan or IRA, including your plan’s investment policy;
|
·
|
your investment does not satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and 404(A)(1)(C) of ERISA;
|
·
|
your investment impairs the liquidity of the plan; or
|
·
|
your investment produces “unrelated business taxable income” for the plan or IRA.
|
As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership holds title to thirty-three real estate properties that were acquired through foreclosure including seventeen within majority- or wholly-owned limited liability companies (see below). As of December 31, 2011, the total carrying amount of these properties was $145,592,000. Twenty-seven of the properties are being held for long-term investment and the remaining six properties are currently being marketed for sale.
·
|
The Partnership’s (or related LLC’s) title to all properties is held as fee simple.
|
·
|
There are no mortgages or encumbrances to third parties on any of the Partnership’s real estate properties acquired through foreclosure (other than within 720 University, LLC- see below).
|
·
|
Of the thirty-three properties held, twenty-two of the properties are income-producing. Only minor renovations and repairs to the properties are currently being made or planned (other than continued tenant improvements on real estate held for investment and completion of renovations to certain of the condominium units owned in Phoenix, Arizona and Miami, Florida).
|
·
|
Management of the General Partner believes that all properties owned by the Partnership are adequately covered by customary casualty insurance.
|
Real estate acquired through foreclosure may be held for a number of years before ultimate disposition primarily because the Partnership has the intent and ability to dispose of the properties for the highest possible price (such as when market conditions improve). During the time that the real estate is held, the Partnership may earn less income on these properties than could be earned on mortgage loans and may have negative cash flow on these properties.
For purposes of assessing potential impairment of value during 2011 and 2010, the Partnership obtained updated appraisals or other valuation support on several of its real estate properties held for sale and investment, which resulted in additional impairment losses on twelve and eight properties, respectively, in the aggregate amount of approximately $15,023,000 and $8,907,000, respectively, recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Real estate properties held for sale as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 consisted of the following properties acquired through foreclosure:

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership transferred the marina property located in Oakley, California (held within The Last Resort & Marina, LLC) and the manufactured home subdivision development located in Lake Charles, Louisiana (held within Dation, LLC) from held for investment to held for sale because the properties are listed for sale and sales are expected to be completed within one year.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership transferred the office condominium complex located in Roseville, California and the industrial building located in Sunnyvale, California from held for sale to held for investment because it is now the intention of the Partnership to hold and operate the properties and not to sell them in the near term.

(1) Calculated by dividing net rentable square feet included in leases signed on or before December 31, 2011 at the property by the aggregate net rentable square feet of the property.
|
(2) Occupancy data not available for this property in 2009 and 2010 because units were rented on daily, weekly and monthly basis throughout those years.
|
(3) The Partnership is in the process of completing renovations to 78 of the 133 units at this property. Therefore those units are currently not available for lease. The estimated total cost to complete these renovations is approximately $3,093,000, of which $945,000 had been paid to date.
|
(4) The Partnership also owns a 160 unit apartment building in the same complex that owns these condominium units in Miami, Florida. The apartment building is not inhabitable in its present condition and, thus, no occupancy statistics are presented.
|
Virtually all of the Partnership’s leases on residential rental properties are either month-to-month leases or will expire in 2012. These leases currently represent approximately $5,922,000 in annual rental revenue to the Partnership.
The following table shows information regarding rental rates and lease expirations over the next ten years for the Partnership’s commercial and industrial rental properties at December 31, 2011 and assumes that none of the tenants exercise renewal options or termination rights, if any, at or prior to scheduled expirations:

Forward Looking Statements
Some of the information in this Form 10-K 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 this 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 2012 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-K 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 December 31, 2011, the Partnership owned thirty-three real estate properties, including eighteen 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 allowance for loan losses and real estate. 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 fourteen 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. However, due to reduced levels of mortgage investments held by the Partnership, it appears that the General Partner may be forced to take the maximum compensation for the foreseeable 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 $2,312,000 and $1,966,000 for the years ended December 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 $264,000 and $491,000 for the years ended December 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 earned by OFG amounted to approximately $168,000 and $83,000 on loans extended of approximately $10,240,000 and $2,500,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
|
·
|
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 $779,000 and $132,000 for the years ended December 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 $12,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
|
·
|
Partnership Expenses – The General Partner is entitled to be reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities and the actual cost of services of non-management and non-supervisory personnel related to the administration of the Partnership (subject to certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement). The amounts reimbursed to the General Partner by the Partnership were approximately $641,000 and $63,000 during the years ended December 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 of a minimum of 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 December 31, 2011, the General Partner has made cash capital contributions of $1,496,000 to the Partnership ($118,000 of which was distributed to the General Partner along with limited partner capital distributions during 2011). The General Partner is required to continue cash capital contributions to the Partnership in order to maintain its required minimum capital balance. There was no carried interest expense charged to the Partnership during the years ended December 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. Although recently the majority of the Partnership’s assets are real estate properties acquired through foreclosure, 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 is 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 December 31, 2011, approximately 78% of Partnership loans are impaired, greater than 90 days delinquent in payments and/or past maturity. In addition, the Partnership now owns approximately $146,000,000 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 may 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 level of foreclosures and related loan and real estate losses experienced;
|
·
|
the income or losses from foreclosed properties prior to the time of disposal.
|
·
|
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; and
|
·
|
the level of delinquencies on mortgage loans.
|
From 2007 to 2011, 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 has increased substantially from 5.0% in December 2007 to 8.5% in December 2011 while the California unemployment rate has increased over the same period from 6.1% to 11.1%. The Gross Domestic Product declined 0.3% (revised) in 2008, declined 3.5% (revised) in 2009, and then increased by 3.0% in 2010. The Gross Domestic Product increased by an annualized rate of 0.4%, 1.3%, 1.8% and 2.8% in the four fiscal quarters of 2011, respectively. 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 remained as of December 31, 2011.
The Partnership has experienced increased loan delinquencies and foreclosures over the past four 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 four 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 seven 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 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. As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership obtained updated appraisals on the majority of the properties securing its trust deed investments and its wholly- and majority- owned real estate properties.
The Partnership has experienced a significant increase in limited partner capital withdrawal requests since late 2008 and a decreased ability to meet those requests. All 2009, 2010 and 2011 scheduled withdrawals of approximately $84,000,000 (based on tax basis capital) have not been made because the Partnership has not had sufficient available cash to make such withdrawals, was restricted under its bank line of credit and needed to have funds in reserve for operations. The line of credit was paid off in full by the Partnership in December 2010. Thus, when funds become available for distribution from net proceeds, the General Partner is permitted to make a pro rata distribution to all partners of up to 10% of limited partner capital, which will prevent any limited partner withdrawals during the same calendar year. There can be no assurance that 10% of the Partnership capital will be distributed in any calendar year, however. During 2011, the Partnership made pro rata capital distributions to all partners aggregating approximately $11,588,000.
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 December 31, 2011, 73% of loans were secured by real estate in Northern California, while 11%, 6%, 4%, 3% and 3% were secured by real estate in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington and Hawaii, 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.

2011 Compared to 2010
Total Revenues
Interest income on loans secured by trust deeds decreased $2,694,000 (33.5%) during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 2010, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of performing loans in the Partnership’s loan portfolio of approximately 53% during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 2010.
Gain on sales of real estate decreased $289,000 (91.7%) during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership recognized $26,000 of deferred gain as income related to the sale of the Bayview Gardens property in 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership sold a commercial building located in Hilo, Hawaii for a gain of $161,000, a commercial building in the complex located in Roseville, California for a gain of approximately $183,000, two houses in the manufactured home subdivision development located in Ione, California for an aggregate loss of approximately $16,000, a vacant parcel of land adjacent to the retail complex located in Greeley, Colorado (held within 720 University LLC) for a loss of $37,000, and recognized $24,000 of deferred gain as income related to the sale of the Bayview Gardens property in 2006.
Total Expenses
Management fees to the General Partner increased $346,000 (17.6%) during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, while the General Partner did not collect the maximum management fees, it collected management fees equal to the amount that the General Partner determined it needed to be paid from the Partnership to enable it to cover its overhead and operating costs as the General Partner.
Servicing fees to the General Partner decreased $227,000 (46.2%) during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 2010. This was the result of a decrease in the weighted average balance of the loan portfolio of approximately 46.3% during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 2010.
The maximum servicing fees were paid to the General Partner during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the year ended December 31, 2011, the management fees would have been $2,909,000 (increase of $597,000), which would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 2.4%, and would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.088 from a loss of $0.086. If the maximum management fees had been paid to the General Partner during the year ended December 31, 2010, the management fees would have been $5,905,000 (increase of $3,939,000), which would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 17.3%, and would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.09 from a loss of $0.08.
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 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the management fees were 2.19%, 1.00%, 0.89% and 1.53% 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, uninvested 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 the General Partner may 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 $149,000 and real estate management/operations expense increased $392,000 (included in rental and other expenses on real estate properties in the statement of operations) during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2011. 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 was appropriate and reasonable to do so beginning in 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 $66,000 (12.7%) during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to increased legal and professional costs incurred as a result of increased delinquent loans and loans in the process of foreclosure and the cost of retaining a firm to appraise all of the Partnership’s trust deed and real estate assets.
Interest expense decreased $1,447,000 (73.2%) during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 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 year ended December 31, 2011.
The provision for loan losses of $9,074,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011 was the result of an analysis performed on the loan portfolio. The general loan loss allowance decreased $1,496,000 during 2011 due primarily to an increase in impaired loans that were analyzed for a specific allowance and a lesser amount of non-delinquent loans in the Partnership’s portfolio in 2011. The specific loan loss allowance was increased by $10,570,000 during the year for the increase, decrease or establishment of reserves on fifteen loans based on third party appraisals and other indications of value. The Partnership also charged-off $20,601,000 from the allowance for seven loans that were foreclosed upon by the Partnership and one loan that was paid off at a discount from face value during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Partnership recorded a provision for loan losses of approximately $16,520,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Losses on real estate properties during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were the result of updated appraisals and other valuation support obtained on several of the Partnership’s real estate properties, which resulted in impairment losses recorded on thirteen and eight properties, respectively, totaling $15,023,000 and $8,907,000, respectively.
Net Income from Rental and Other Real Estate Properties
Net loss from rental and other real estate properties increased $248,000 (29.8%) during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 2010, due primarily to additional net losses incurred on real estate foreclosed in the past year and depreciation incurred on several of the Partnership’s real estate properties held for investment.
Financial Condition
December 31, 2011 and 2010
Loan Portfolio
The number of Partnership mortgage investments decreased from 39 as of December 31, 2010 to 25 as of December 31, 2011, and the average loan balance decreased from $4,043,000 to $2,777,000 between December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011.
Approximately $52,327,000 (75.4%) and $121,565,000 (77.1%) of the loans invested in by the Partnership were impaired and/or more than ninety days delinquent in monthly payments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Partnership’s investment in loans that were past maturity (delinquent in principal) but current in monthly payments was approximately $1,490,000 and $3,318,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (combined total of $53,817,000 and $124,883,000, respectively, that are past maturity and delinquent in payments greater than ninety days). Of the impaired and past maturity loans, approximately $8,050,000 (11.6%) and $46,078,000 (29.2%), respectively, were in the process of foreclosure and approximately $24,203,000 (34.9%) and $53,606,000 (34.0%), respectively, involved loans to borrowers who were in bankruptcy. The Partnership foreclosed on ten and nine loans during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, with aggregate principal balances totaling approximately $61,438,000 and $36,174,000, respectively, and obtained the properties via the trustee’s sales.
Of the total past maturity loans as of December 31, 2011, one loan with a principal balance of $800,000 had the maturity date extended for two years to December 31, 2013. In addition, subsequent to year end, the borrower on an impaired and past maturity loan that was previously in the process of foreclosure, filed for bankruptcy protection.
Of the $121,565,000 in loans that were greater than ninety days delinquent as of December 31, 2010, $46,200,000 remained delinquent as of December 31, 2011, $61,435,000 was foreclosed and became real estate owned by the Partnership during 2011 and $13,930,000 was paid off by the borrowers.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership held the following types of mortgages:

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately 73% and 39%, respectively, of the Partnership’s mortgage loans were secured by real property in Northern California. In addition, as of December 31, 2011 approximately 84% of the Partnership’s mortgage loans were secured by real estate located in the states of California and Arizona, which have experienced dramatic reductions in real estate values over the past four years.
The Partnership’s investment in loans decreased by $88,244,000 (56%) during the year ended December 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 and certain restrictions on new investment in mortgage loans imposed by the Partnership Agreement when the Partnership does not have sufficient funds to cover previously requested withdrawals that are permitted to be paid
The General Partner decreased the allowance for loan losses by approximately $11,527,000 (provision net of charge-offs) during the year ended December 31, 2011. The General Partner believes that the allowance for loan losses 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 subject to workout agreements and loans in bankruptcy in determining allowances for loan losses, but there can be no absolute assurance that the allowance is sufficient. Because any decision regarding the allowance 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 years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

The Partnership’s allowance for loan losses was $24,541,897 and $36,068,515 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there was a general allowance for loan losses of $2,250,000 and $3,746,000, respectively, and a specific allowance for loan losses on seven and thirteen loans in the total amount of $22,291,897 and $32,322,515, respectively.
Real Estate Properties Held for Sale and Investment
As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership held title to thirty-three properties that were acquired through foreclosure, with a total carrying amount of approximately $145,592,000 (including properties held in eighteen limited liability companies), net of accumulated depreciation of $6,459,000. The Partnership foreclosed on ten and nine loans during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, with aggregate principal balances totaling $61,438,000 and $36,174,000, respectively, and obtained the underlying properties via the trustee’s sales (see below). As of December 31, 2011, properties held for sale total $13,971,000 and properties held for investment total $131,621,000. 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.

Eleven of the Partnership’s thirty-three properties do not currently generate revenue. Expenses from real estate properties have increased from approximately $8,852,000 to $13,653,000 (54.2%) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively, and revenues associated with these properties have increased from $8,023,000 to $12,576,000 (56.8%), thus generating a net loss from real estate properties of $1,077,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011 (compared to net loss of $829,000 during 2010).
For purposes of assessing potential impairment of value during 2011 and 2010, the Partnership obtained updated appraisals or other valuation support on several of its real estate properties held for sale and investment, which resulted in additional impairment losses on twelve and eight properties, respectively, in the aggregate amount of approximately $15,023,000 and $8,907,000, respectively, recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
2010 Sales Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership sold the office/retail complex located in Hilo, Hawaii for cash of $500,000 and a note in the amount of $2,000,000, resulting in a gain to the Partnership of approximately $805,000. Approximately $161,000 of this amount was recorded as current gain to the Partnership and the remaining $644,000 was deferred and will be recognized as principal payments are received on the loan under the installment method. The note is interest only and bears interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum for the first year, adjusts to 7.25% beginning July 1, 2011 and then 8.25% beginning July 1, 2012. The note matures on June 30, 2013. The net income (loss) to the Partnership from operation of this property was approximately $48,000 and $(153,000) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
During the year ended December 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership sold two houses in the manufactured home subdivision development located in Ione, California for net sales proceeds of approximately $170,000, resulting in an aggregate loss to the Partnership of approximately $16,000.
2011 Foreclosure Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on three first mortgage loans secured by undeveloped residential and commercial land located in Gypsum, Colorado in the amount of approximately $15,828,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. In addition, accrued interest and advances made on the loans (for items such as legal fees and delinquent property taxes) in the total amount of approximately $1,915,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property. Based on a new appraisal obtained, it was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investments in the loans and a specific loan loss allowance of approximately $8,143,000 was recorded and charged off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure. The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected in the next one year period.
During the year ended December 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 interest 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.
During the year ended December 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 carrying value of this property of $9,088,000 at the time of foreclosure approximated its then current fair value less estimated selling costs.
During the year ended December 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, 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). At the time of foreclosure, 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 at the time of foreclosure during the first quarter of 2011 (total charge-off of $10,638,000).
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on two first mortgage loans secured by 15 converted condominium and commercial office units in a building located in Tacoma, Washington with an aggregate principal balance of $3,500,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loans and a specific loan allowance was established of approximately $1,110,000. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure, along with an additional charge to provision for loan losses of approximately $7,000. The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, Broadway & Commerce, LLC to own and operate the complex.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership and a third party lender who participated in a first mortgage loan secured by industrial land located in Pomona, California with a principal balance to the Partnership of approximately $5,078,000 contributed their interests in the loan to a new limited liability company, 1875 West Mission Blvd., LLC (“1875”). The lenders then foreclosed on the subject loan and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale within the new LLC.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by 6 improved, residential lots located in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho with a principal balance of $2,200,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. The General Partner was a co-creditor in this loan due to a loan fee that was supposed to be paid to the General Partner at the time the loan was paid off. However, due to an intercreditor agreement between the Partnership and the General Partner, the Partnership must receive its entire investment in the loan (including all accrued, past due interest at the time of foreclosure) prior to any amounts to be paid to the General Partner once the property is sold. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loan and a specific loan allowance of approximately $426,000 was recorded. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure, along with an additional charge to provision for loan losses of approximately $2,000. After foreclosure, it was determined that approximately $530,000 in additional improvements costs would be required to complete the lots and ready them for sale. Thus, an additional impairment loss was recorded of $530,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011.
2010 Foreclosure Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership foreclosed on two first mortgage loans secured by 45 converted condominium units in a complex located in Oakland, California with an aggregate principal balance of $11,600,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. Based on a new appraisal obtained near the time of foreclosure in December 2010, it was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loans (including a previously established loan loss allowance of $765,000) and an additional charge to bad debt expense was recorded of approximately $2,286,000 (total charge-off of $3,051,000). The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, 1401 on Jackson, LLC, to own and operate the complex.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by a 46 unit apartment complex located in Ripon, California with a principal balance of $4,325,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loan and a specific loan allowance was established of approximately $93,000 as of September 30, 2010. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure, along with an additional charge to bad debt expense of approximately $2,000. The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, 550 Sandy Lane, LLC, to own and operate the complex.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by a commercial building located in Sacramento, California with a principal balance of $3,700,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. In addition, certain advances made on the loan or incurred as part of the foreclosure in the total amount of approximately $191,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership obtained a deed in lieu of foreclosure from the borrower on four first mortgage loans secured by 60 converted condominium units in a complex located in Lakewood, Washington in the aggregate amount of approximately $6,957,000 and obtained the property. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loans and a specific loan allowance was established of approximately $573,000 as of June 30, 2010. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure, along with an additional charge to bad debt expense of approximately $4,000. The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, Phillips Road, LLC, to own and operate the complex.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership obtained a deed in lieu of foreclosure from the borrower on a first mortgage loan secured by a medical office condominium complex located in Gilbert, Arizona in the amount of approximately $9,592,000 and obtained the property. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loan and a specific loan allowance was established for this loan in the total amount of approximately $4,914,000 as of March 31, 2010. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure in May 2010, along with an additional charge to bad debt expense of approximately $74,000 for additional delinquent property taxes paid. The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, AMFU, LLC, to own and operate the complex.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Certificates of Deposit
Cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit increased from approximately $7,379,000 as of December 31, 2010 to approximately $18,195,000 as of December 31, 2011 (an increase of $10,816,000 or 147%) due primarily to loan payoffs received by the Partnership of approximately $26,531,000 net of capital distributions to partners of approximately $11,588,000, investment in real estate properties of $1,464,000 and use of Partnership cash to pay delinquent property taxes of TOTB of approximately $2,580,000.
Interest and Other Receivables
Interest and other receivables decreased from approximately $4,494,000 as of December 31, 2010 to $1,456,000 as of December 31, 2011 (a decrease of $3,038,000 or 67.6%), 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 $682,000 as of December 31, 2010 to $329,000 as of December 31, 2011 (a decrease of $353,000 or 51.8%) 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 December 31, 2011 increased $172,000, as compared to December 31, 2010. These fees are paid pursuant to the Partnership Agreement (see “Results of Operations” above).
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased from approximately $2,387,000 as of December 31, 2010 to $3,211,000 as of December 31, 2011 (an increase of $824,000 or 34.5%), due primarily to an increase in accrued expenses on Partnership real estate acquired through foreclosure during 2011.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests increased from approximately $16,000 as of December 31, 2010 to approximately $17,520,000 as of December 31, 2011, due to the foreclosure of two loans during the year ended December 31, 2011 and the acquisition by two new LLC entities (TOTB Miami, LLC or “TOTB” and 1875 West Mission Blvd., LLC or “1875”) of the properties securing the foreclosed loans. The loans had been subject to co-lending agreements with two and one other lender(s) (one of which was the General Partner in TOTB) who are now members in TOTB and 1875, respectively, along with the Partnership. The consolidation of TOTB and 1875 into the Partnership’s books and records gave rise to noncontrolling interests held by the other members of the LLC’s in the aggregate amount of approximately $16,257,000.
In March 2012, the Partnership contributed $7,200,000 in cash to TOTB in order for TOTB to purchase PRC Treasures, LLC’s interest in TOTB with a book basis as of December 31, 2011 of approximately $11,594,000. Thus, the only remaining members in TOTB are the Partnership and the General Partner.
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 December 31, 2011, management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $24,542,000 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 December 31, 2011, eighteen loans totaling $52,327,000 were impaired, delinquent in monthly payments greater than ninety days and are no longer accruing interest. Fourteen of these loans totaling $45,176,000 were past maturity as of December 31, 2011. In addition, two loans totaling $1,490,000 were also past maturity but current in monthly payments as of December 31, 2011 (combined total
of $53,817,000 in loans that are past maturity and delinquent in payments greater than ninety days). The Partnership recorded a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses of approximately $20,601,000 for eight foreclosed or paid off loans during the year ended December 31, 2011 and, after the General Partner’s evaluation of the loan portfolio, recorded an additional net provision for loan losses of approximately $9,074,000 for losses that are estimated to have likely occurred, which resulted in a net decrease to the allowance of approximately $11,527,000. The General Partner believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient given the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral of impaired and past maturity loans.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the year ended December 31, 2011, cash flows used in operating activities approximated $1,060,000. Investing activities provided approximately $25,204,000 of net cash during the year, as approximately $26,531,000 was received from the payoff of loans, net of approximately $1,464,000 used for investing in real estate. Approximately $13,318,000 was used in financing activities, as approximately $13,284,000 was distributed to limited partners in the form of income and pro rata capital distributions. The General Partner believes that the Partnership will have sufficient cash flow to sustain operations over the next year.
The Partnership has experienced a significant increase in limited partner capital withdrawal requests since late 2008. All 2009, 2010 and 2011 scheduled withdrawals in the total amount of approximately $84,000,000 (based on tax basis capital) have not been made because the Partnership has not had sufficient available cash to make such withdrawals, was restricted under its bank line of credit and needed to have funds in reserve for operations. 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 is permitted 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. There can be no assurance that 10% of the Partnership capital will be distributed in any calendar year, however. In July and October 2011, the Partnership made pro rata capital distributions to all partners aggregating approximately $11,588,000, which was approximately 4.3% of total tax basis partners’ capital.
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 loans past maturity) 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 $37,644,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011. Two large components of the decrease in limited partner capital during 2011 were pro rata capital distributions to limited partners of $11,469,000 during 2011 and provision for loan losses and impairment losses on real estate properties in the total amount of approximately $24,097,000. The Partnership received no new limited partner contributions during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Reinvested distributions from limited partners electing to reinvest were $56,000 and $675,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were no limited partner withdrawals during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Pro rata capital distributions totaling $11,587,000 were made to all partners during the year ended December 31, 2011. Limited partner withdrawal and capital distribution percentages have been 5.66%, 0.00%, 2.01%, 10.14%, 6.34% and 4.70% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006, 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 $10,242,000 and $10,394,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 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 December 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 $2,300,000 would be required to complete certain of the condominium units located in Phoenix, Arizona 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 secured by the property. In June 2011, 54th Street Condos, LLC (wholly owned by the Partnership) signed a $2,484,000 construction contract for completion of the remaining condominium units. Thus, the total estimated cost to complete these units is now estimated to be approximately $3,093,000 (including approximately $971,000 already capitalized as of December 31, 2011). Construction began during the third quarter of 2011 and should be completed within six to nine months. The Partnership recorded additional impairment losses of approximately $1,116,000 during 2011 as a result of the higher anticipated costs and a new appraisal obtained as of December 31, 2011.
Certain Additional Events
The Partnership has announced to Limited Partners that it has commissioned an independent national appraisal company to appraise and value the majority of the trust deed and real estate assets held by the Partnership. A preliminary estimate, which is subject to final analysis and possible adjustments by the General Partner, indicates that the net fair market value of the Partnership as of December 31, 2011 is $0.67 per Unit. The Partnership has also commissioned an independent business valuation firm to estimate the liquidation value of the Partnership based on the fair market values indicated by the appraisals. This valuation will assume that all the assets are sold in a relatively short period of time. This liquidation valuation is expected to be materially lower than the $0.67 per Unit and has not been completed as of the date of this filing.
The General Partner is evaluating various options intended to provide additional liquidity to Limited Partners. The General Partner has indicated that this evaluation may result in a proposal to Limited Partners or other action, but that there can be no assurance regarding the terms or timing of any proposal or whether a proposal will be forthcoming.
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, 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 consolidated financial statements and supplementary data are indexed in Item 15 of this report.
There were no disagreements with accountants or other events reportable under Item 304(b) of Regulation S-K.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
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(f) and 15d-15(f) under 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 December 31, 2011, which is the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The General Partner’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting was conducted based on the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). There are inherent limitations in any internal control system over financial reporting, which may not prevent or detect misstatements. The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.
This report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
There is no information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter of the year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has not been so reported.

use its own funds to cover any other costs associated with mortgage loans held by the Partnership such as property taxes, insurance and legal expenses.

In order to assure that the limited partners will not have personal liability as a General Partner, limited partners have no right to participate in the management or control of the Partnership’s business or affairs other than to exercise the limited voting rights provided for in the Partnership Agreement.

Research and Acquisition
The General Partner considers prospective investments for the Partnership. In that regard, the General Partner evaluates the credit of prospective borrowers, analyzes the return to the Partnership of potential mortgage loan transactions, reviews property appraisals, and determines which types of transactions appear to be most favorable to the Partnership. For these services, the General Partner generally receives mortgage placement fees (points) paid by borrowers when loans are originally funded or when the Partnership extends or refinances mortgage loans. These fees may reduce the yield obtained by the Partnership from its mortgage loans.
Partnership Management
The General Partner is responsible for the Partnership’s investment portfolio. Its services include:
·
|
the creation and implementation of Partnership investment policies;
|
·
|
preparation and review of budgets, economic surveys, cash flow and taxable income or loss projections and working capital requirements;
|

|
preparation and review of Partnership reports and regulatory filings;
|
·
|
communications with limited partners;
|
·
|
supervision and review of Partnership bookkeeping, accounting, internal controls and audits;
|
·
|
supervision and review of Partnership state and federal tax returns; and
|
·
|
supervision of professionals employed by the Partnership in connection with any of the foregoing, including attorneys, accountants and appraisers.
|
For these and certain other services the General Partner is entitled to receive a management fee of up to 2 ¾ % per annum of the unpaid balance of the Partnership’s mortgage loans. The management fee is payable on all loans, including nonperforming or delinquent loans. The General Partner believes that a fee payable on delinquent loans is justified because of the expense involved in the administration of such loans. See “Compensation to the General Partner—Management Fees,” at page 7.
The Partnership does not have a compensation committee or other group providing a similar function, and does not have compensation policies or pay any compensation to any persons other than fees paid to the General Partner. The Partnership has not issued, awarded or otherwise paid to any General Partner, any options, stock appreciation rights, securities, or any other direct or indirect form of compensation other than the management and service fees and carried interest permitted under the Partnership Agreement.
The following table summarizes the forms and amounts of compensation paid to the General Partner for the year ended December 31, 2011. Such fees were established by the General Partner and were not determined by arms-length negotiation.

No person or entity owns beneficially more than 5% of the ownership interests in the Partnership. The General Partner owns approximately 3,916,000 units (1.4%) of the Partnership as of December 31, 2011. The voting common stock of the General Partner is owned as follows: 56.098% by William C. Owens and 14.634% each by Bryan H. Draper, William E. Dutra and Andrew J. Navone.
Transactions with Related Persons
The affairs of the Partnership are managed by the General Partner pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership engages in a variety of transactions with the General Partner which are reviewed by the officers of the General Partner to ensure they are permitted by the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
Management Fee
The General Partner is entitled to receive from the Partnership a management fee of up to 2 ¾ % per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Partnership’s mortgage loans at the end of each of the preceding twelve months for services rendered as manager of the Partnership. The amount of management fees to the General Partner for the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $2,312,000.
Servicing Fee
All of the Partnership’s loans are serviced by the General Partner, in consideration for which the General Partner receives up to 0.25% per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loans on a monthly basis. The amount of servicing fees to the General Partner for the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $264,000.
Carried Interest
The General Partner is required to continue cash capital contributions to the Partnership in order to maintain its required capital balance equal to 1% of the limited partners’ capital accounts. The General Partner has contributed 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 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 December 31, 2011, the General Partner had made total cash capital contributions of $1,496,000 to the Partnership. During 2011, the Partnership incurred no carried interest expense because there was a net decrease in limited partners’ capital accounts during the year.
Reimbursement of Other Expenses
The General Partner is reimbursed by the Partnership for the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from unaffiliated entities and the actual cost of services of non-management and non-supervisory personnel related to the administration of the Partnership (subject to certain limitations contained in the Partnership Agreement). During 2011, the Partnership reimbursed the General Partner for expenses in the amount of $641,000.
In addition to compensation from the Partnership, the General Partner also receives compensation from borrowers under the mortgage loans placed by the General Partner with the Partnership.
Acquisition and Origination Fees
Acquisition and origination fees, also called loan fees, mortgage placement fees or points, are paid to the General Partner from the borrowers under loans held by the Partnership. These fees are compensation for the evaluation, origination, extension and refinancing of loans for the borrowers and may be paid at the placement, extension or refinancing of the loan or at the time of final repayment of the loan. The amount of these fees is determined by competitive conditions and the General Partner and may have a direct effect on the interest rate borrowers are willing to pay the Partnership. During 2011, the General Partner earned acquisition and origination fees on Partnership loans in the amount of $168,000, on loans extended of approximately $10,240,000.
Late Payment Charges
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner receives all late payment charges, including additional interest and late payment fees, from borrowers on loans owned by the Partnership, with the exception of loans participated with outside entities. The amounts paid to or collected by the General Partner for such charges totaled approximately $779,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Partners
Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership
Walnut Creek, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners’ capital and cash flows for the year then ended. We have also audited the accompanying financial statement schedules III and IV of the Partnership listed in Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Partners
Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), as of December 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners’ capital and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The outstanding limited partnership units and net loss per limited partnership unit presented in the 2010 financial statements have been restated.

(OFG), a California corporation engaged in the origination of real estate mortgage loans for eventual sale and the subsequent servicing of those mortgages for the Partnership and other third-party investors. The Partnership’s operations are managed solely by OFG pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.
OFG is authorized to offer and sell units in the Partnership up to an aggregate of 500,000,000 units outstanding at $1.00 per unit, representing $500,000,000 of limited partnership interests in the Partnership. Limited partnership units outstanding were 278,605,524 and 290,019,136 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its majority- and wholly- owned limited liability companies (see Notes 6 and 7). 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. Due to foreclosure activity, the Partnership also owns and manages real estate assets.
Certain reclassifications not affecting net income have been made to the 2010 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2011 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 5). Fair value estimates are derived from information available in the real estate markets including similar property, and often require the experience and judgment of third parties such as real estate appraisers and brokers. The estimates figure materially in calculating the value of the property at acquisition, the level of charge to the allowance for loan losses and any subsequent valuation reserves or write-downs. Such estimates are inherently imprecise and actual results could differ significantly from such estimates.
Recently Adopted 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 delayed the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructuring in ASU No. 2010-20 for public entities. The delay was 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 were addressed in ASU no. 2011-02.

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 were effective for the interim period ended September 30, 2011, and have been applied retrospectively to January 1, 2011 by the Partnership.
ASU No. 2010-06
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This ASU requires new disclosures with respect to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and that Level 3 fair value measurements present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (on a gross basis). In addition, the ASU requires reporting entities to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 (except certain disclosures about Level 3 activity which is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010). The implementation of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s fair value disclosures.
ASU No. 2010-20
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The amendments in this ASU require an entity to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of its financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose credit quality indicators, past due information, and modifications of its financing receivables. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The implementation of this ASU required significant new disclosures in the notes to the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements (see Note 4).
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
ASU No. 2011-04
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”. The amendments in this ASU result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. It changes the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, among several other less significant changes. This ASU is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted.

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 all 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
Loans and the related accrued interest and advances are analyzed by management on a periodic basis for ultimate recovery. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of probable 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 probable inherent losses related to loans that are not impaired.
Regardless of the loan type, 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. All loans determined to be impaired are individually evaluated for impairment. When a loan is impaired, management estimates 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 estimates of 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. These valuations are generally updated during the fourth quarter but may be updated during interim periods if deemed appropriate by management.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
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. The reserve for loans that are not impaired consists of reserve factors that are based on management’s assessment of the following for each portfolio segment: (1) inherent credit risk, (2) historical losses, and (3) other qualitative factors. These reserve factors are inherently subjective and are driven by the repayment risk associated with each portfolio segment described below.
Improved and Unimproved Land – These loans generally possess a higher inherent risk of loss than other real estate portfolio segments. A major risk arises from the necessity to complete projects within specified cost and time lines. Trends in the construction industry significantly impact the credit quality of these loans, as demand drives construction activity. In addition, trends in real estate values significantly impact the credit quality of these loans, as property values determine the economic viability of construction projects.
Commercial Real Estate and Condominiums – These loans generally possess a higher inherent risk of loss than other real estate portfolio segments, except improved and unimproved land. Adverse economic developments or an overbuilt market impact commercial and condominium real estate projects and may result in troubled loans. Trends in vacancy rates of properties impact the credit quality of these loans. High vacancy rates reduce operating revenues and the ability for properties to produce sufficient cash flow to service debt obligations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing bank deposits, money market accounts and short-term certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less.
The Partnership maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Certificates of Deposit
At various times during the year, the Partnership may purchase certificates of deposit with various financial institutions with original maturities of up to one year. Interest income on certificates of deposit is recognized when earned. Certificates of deposit are held in several federally insured depository institutions.
Vehicles, Equipment and Furniture
Depreciation of vehicles, equipment and furniture owned by DarkHorse Golf Club, LLC, Anacapa Villas, LLC and Lone Star Golf, LLC is provided on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (5-7 years).
Other Assets
Other assets primarily include capitalized lease commissions and loan costs, prepaid expenses, deposits and inventory. Amortization of lease commissions is provided on the straight-line method over the lives of the related leases. Amortization of loan costs in 720 University, LLC is provided on the straight-line method through the maturity date of the related debt.
Real Estate Held for Sale
Real estate held for sale includes real estate acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations generally through foreclosure that is being marketed for sale. Real estate held for sale is recorded at acquisition 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, as applicable. Any excess of the recorded investment in the loan over the net realizable value is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
After acquisition, costs incurred relating to the development and improvement of property are capitalized to the extent they do not cause the recorded value to exceed the net realizable value, whereas costs relating to holding and disposition of the property are expensed as incurred. After acquisition, real estate held for sale is analyzed periodically for changes in fair values and any subsequent write down is charged to impairment losses on real estate properties. Any recovery in the fair value subsequent to such a write down is recorded (not to exceed the net realizable value at acquisition) as an offset to impairment losses on real estate properties. Recognition of gains on the sale of real estate is dependent upon the transaction meeting certain criteria related to the nature of the property and the terms of the sale including potential seller financing.
Real Estate Held for Investment
Real estate held for investment includes real estate acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations generally through foreclosure that is not being marketed for sale and is either being operated, such as rental properties; is being managed through the development process, including obtaining appropriate and necessary entitlements, permits and construction; or are idle properties awaiting more favorable market conditions. Real estate held for investment is recorded at acquisition at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan, plus any senior indebtedness, or at the property’s estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, as applicable.
After acquisition, costs incurred relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to operating or holding the property are expensed. Subsequent to acquisition, management periodically compares the carrying value of real estate to expected undiscounted future cash flows 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.
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.
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.
Income Taxes
No provision for federal and state income taxes (other than the $800 state minimum tax and non-California state income tax at the Partnership level for real estate properties) 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.

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 total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was 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 2007.
Environmental Remediation Liability
|
Liabilities related to future environmental remediation costs are recorded when remediation or monitoring or both are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The Partnership’s environmental remediation liability related to the property located in Santa Clara, California (held within 1850 De La Cruz, LLC – see Note 5) was recorded based on a third party consultant’s estimate of the costs required to remediate and monitor the contamination.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership’s loans secured by deeds of trust on real property collateral located in Northern California totaled approximately 73% ($50,624,000) 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, approximately 84% of the Partnership’s mortgage loans were secured by real estate located in the states of California and Arizona, which have experienced dramatic reductions in real estate values over the past three years.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately $64,402,000 (92.8%) 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 and any accrued interest is due and payable, but the borrower has failed to make such payment of principal and/or accrued interest are referred to as “past maturity loans”. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership had sixteen and twenty-seven past maturity loans totaling approximately $46,666,000 and $122,402,000, respectively.

December 31, 2011 and 2010
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership had eighteen and twenty-four impaired loans, respectively, that were impaired and/or delinquent in payments greater than ninety days totaling approximately $52,327,000 and $121,565,000, respectively. This included fourteen and twenty-two matured loans totaling $45,176,000 and $119,084,000, respectively. In addition, two and five loans totaling approximately $1,490,000 and $3,318,000, respectively, were past maturity but current in monthly payments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (combined total of delinquent loans of $53,817,000 and $124,883,000, respectively). Of the impaired and past maturity loans, approximately $8,050,000 and $46,078,000, respectively, were in the process of foreclosure and $24,203,000 and $53,606,000, respectively, involved borrowers who were in bankruptcy as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Partnership foreclosed on ten and nine loans during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, with aggregate principal balances totaling $61,438,000 and $36,174,000, respectively, and obtained the properties via the trustee’s sales.
Of the total past maturity loans as of December 31, 2011, one loan with a principal balance of $800,000 had the maturity date extended for two years to December 31, 2013. In addition, subsequent to year end, the borrower on an impaired and past maturity loan that was previously in the process of foreclosure, filed for bankruptcy protection.
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership extended the maturity dates of three and four loans, respectively, on a short-term basis (three years or less) with aggregate principal balances totaling approximately $3,623,000 and $2,500,000, respectively.
The Partnership has four loans with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $24,203,000 that were originally secured by deeds of trust on 29 parcels of land with entitlements for a 502,267 square foot resort development located in South Lake Tahoe, California. The parcels were assembled by a developer with the assistance of the City for the purpose of creating a development consisting of a retail component, a condominium hotel component and the City’s Convention and Visitor’s Center. Because of the assemblage and as security for the Partnership’s loans, a decision was made to encumber all of the assembled parcels by blanket loans that consisted of first, second and third deeds of trust. The developer has been unable to obtain a construction loan to build the project which has resulted in the inability of the developer to honor its commitments to the existing lenders. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the first deed holders on 20 of the parcels securing loans totaling approximately $18,568,000 filed notices of default on their mortgage loans and additional notices of default and notices of sale were subsequently filed. The Partnership also filed a notice of default in June 2009. In July 2009, the Partnership purchased at a discount the first deed holder’s interest in one loan securing two parcels with a principal balance of $1,500,000 on which the Partnership holds second deeds of trust. The Partnership purchased this loan because a foreclosure sale by the first deed holder was imminent and the General Partner wanted to protect the Partnership’s interest in the loans. In October 2009, the borrower on these loans filed for bankruptcy protection. The borrower originally proposed a plan of reorganization, but was never able to fund such plan or find an interested investor group to continue the project. As a result of the failed reorganization attempts, in December 2010 the judge in the case granted relief of stay to certain lenders who have subsequently conducted their foreclosure sales. The foreclosures on certain parcels by the senior lenders have resulted in the Partnership being foreclosed out of their positions on those parcels and has created a fractured ownership of the development site. While not all senior debt has foreclosed and the borrower still remains in bankruptcy, it is anticipated that at some point in the future all of the senior lenders (including the Partnership) will jointly own the development site. Based on these facts and new appraisals obtained in January and December 2011, the Partnership recorded a specific allowance on these loans of approximately $17,735,000 and $15,846,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

December 31, 2011 and 2010
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership assigned two first mortgage loans secured by the same property with an aggregate principal balance totaling $3,500,000 to a new wholly owned LLC entity (Broadway & Commerce, LLC). These loans were then foreclosed upon by the new LLC entity and the property was obtained via the trustee’s sale. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership assigned one first mortgage loan that was purchased by the Partnership at a discount in 2010, with a principal balance of approximately $602,000, to a new wholly owned LLC entity (Bensalem Primary Fund, LLC).

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENT IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
During 2008, the Partnership entered into an Operating Agreement of 1850 De La Cruz LLC, a California limited liability company (“1850”), with Nanook Ventures LLC (“Nanook”), an unrelated party. 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 parties agreed to enter into the Operating Agreement to restructure the arrangement as a joint venture. At the time of closing in July 2008, the two properties were separately contributed to two new limited liability companies, Nanook Ventures One LLC and Nanook Ventures Two LLC, that are wholly owned by 1850. The Partnership and Nanook are the Members of 1850 and NV Manager, LLC is the Manager.
OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,
a California Limited Partnership
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Partnership is responsible for all costs related to the environmental remediation on the properties and has indemnified Nanook against all obligations related to 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 December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately $430,000 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.
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership received capital distributions from 1850 in the total amount of $155,000 and $150,000, respectively. The net income to the Partnership from its investment in 1850 De La Cruz was approximately $153,000 and $150,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

2011 Foreclosure Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on three first mortgage loans secured by undeveloped residential and commercial land located in Gypsum, Colorado in the amount of approximately $15,828,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. In addition, accrued interest and advances made on the loans (for items such as legal fees and delinquent property taxes) in the total amount of approximately $1,915,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property. Based on a new appraisal obtained, it was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investments in the loans and a specific loan loss allowance of approximately $8,143,000 was recorded and charged off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure. The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected in the next one year period.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on a first mortgage loan secured by 6 improved, residential lots located in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho with a principal balance of $2,200,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. The General Partner was a co-creditor in this loan due to a loan fee that was supposed to be paid to the General Partner at the time the loan was paid off. However, due to an intercreditor agreement between the Partnership and the General Partner, the Partnership must receive its entire investment in the loan (including all accrued, past due interest at the time of foreclosure) prior to any amounts to be paid to the General Partner once the property is sold. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loan and a specific loan allowance of approximately $426,000 was recorded. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure, along with an additional charge to provision for loan losses of approximately $2,000. After foreclosure, it was determined that approximately $530,000 in additional improvements costs would be required to complete the lots and ready them for sale. Thus, an additional impairment loss was recorded of $530,000 during 2011. The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected in the next one year period.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on two first mortgage loans secured by 15 converted condominium and commercial office units in a building located in Tacoma, Washington with an aggregate principal balance of $3,500,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loans (including advances made on the loans of approximately $103,000) and a specific loan allowance of approximately $1,110,000 was recorded. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure, along with an additional charge to provision for loan losses of approximately $7,000. The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected in the next one year period. The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, Broadway & Commerce, LLC to own and operate the building.
During the year ended December 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. An impairment loss of approximately $2,169,000 was taken on this property on December 31, 2011 based on a new appraisal obtained. The property is classified as held for investment as a sale is not expected in the next one year period.

During the year ended December 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). At the time of foreclosure, 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 at the time of foreclosure during the first quarter of 2011 (total charge-off of $10,638,000). The Point and South building units and the North building are now classified as held for investment as sales are not expected in the next one year period. See further details below under TOTB Miami, LLC.
2010 Foreclosure Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership foreclosed on two first mortgage loans secured by 45 converted condominium units in a complex located in Oakland, California with an aggregate principal balance of $11,600,000 and obtained the property via the trustee’s sale. Based on a new appraisal obtained near the time of foreclosure in December 2010, it was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loans (including a previously established loan loss allowance of $765,000) and an additional charge to provision for loan losses was recorded of approximately $2,286,000 (total charge-off of $3,051,000). The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, 1401 on Jackson, LLC, to own and operate the complex.

It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loan and a specific loan allowance was established of approximately $93,000 as of September 30, 2010. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure, along with an additional charge to provision for loan losses of approximately $2,000. The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, 550 Sandy Lane, LLC, to own and operate the complex.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership obtained a deed in lieu of foreclosure from the borrower on four first mortgage loans secured by 60 converted condominium units in a complex located in Lakewood, Washington in the aggregate amount of approximately $6,957,000 and obtained the property. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loans and a specific loan allowance was established of approximately $573,000 as of June 30, 2010. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure, along with an additional charge to provision for loan losses of approximately $4,000. The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, Phillips Road, LLC, to own and operate the complex.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership obtained a deed in lieu of foreclosure from the borrower on a first mortgage loan secured by a medical office condominium complex located in Gilbert, Arizona in the amount of approximately $9,592,000 and obtained the property. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Partnership’s investment in the loan and a specific loan allowance was established for this loan in the total amount of approximately $4,914,000 as of March 31, 2010. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure in May 2010, along with an additional charge to provision for loan losses of approximately $74,000 for additional delinquent property taxes paid. The Partnership formed a new, wholly-owned limited liability company, AMFU, LLC, to own and operate the complex.

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 $1,439,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
NOTE 10 - PARTNERS’ CAPITAL
Allocations, Distributions and Withdrawals
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership’s tax basis profits, gains and losses are allocated to each limited partner and OFG in proportion to their respective capital accounts on a monthly basis.
Distributions of net income are made monthly to the partners in proportion to their weighted-average capital accounts as of the last day of the preceding calendar month. Accrued distributions payable represent amounts to be distributed to partners in January of the subsequent year based on their weighted-average capital accounts as of December 31.
The Partnership makes monthly net income distributions (if any) to those limited partners who elect to receive such distributions. Those limited partners who elect not to receive cash distributions have their distributions reinvested in additional limited partnership units at $1.00 per unit pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. Such reinvested distributions totaled approximately $56,000 and $675,000 (dollars and units) for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Reinvested distributions are not shown as partners’ cash distributions or proceeds from sale of partnership units in the accompanying consolidated statements of partners’ capital and cash flows.
The limited partners may withdraw, or partially withdraw, from the Partnership and obtain the return of their outstanding capital accounts within 61 to 91 days after written notices are delivered to OFG, subject to the following limitations, among others:
•
|
No withdrawal of units can be requested or made until at least one year from the date of purchase of those units, other than units received under the Partnership’s Reinvested Distribution Plan.
|
OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
•
|
Payments are made only to the extent the Partnership has available cash, and the determination of the amount of cash available is subject to substantial discretion of the General Partner.
|
•
|
A maximum of $100,000 per partner may be withdrawn during any calendar quarter.
|
•
|
The general partner is not required to establish a reserve fund for the purpose of funding such payments.
|
•
|
The total amount withdrawn by all limited partners during any calendar year, combined with the total amount of net proceeds distributed to limited partners during the year, cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate capital accounts of the limited partners, except upon final liquidation of the Partnership.
|
•
|
Withdrawal requests are honored in the order in which they are received.
|
The Partnership has experienced a significant increase in limited partner capital withdrawal requests since late 2008. All 2009, 2010 and 2011 scheduled withdrawals in the total amount of approximately $84,000,000 (based on tax basis capital) were not made because the Partnership has not had sufficient available cash to make such withdrawals, was restricted under its bank line of credit and needed to have funds in reserve for operations. 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 is permitted to make a pro rata distribution to all partners of up to 10% of Partnership capital, which will prevent any limited partner withdrawals during the same calendar year. There can be no assurance that 10% of the Partnership capital will be distributed in any calendar year, however. In July and October 2011, the Partnership made pro rata capital distributions to all partners totaling approximately $11,588,000, which was approximately 4.3% of total tax basis partners’ capital.
In April 2011, the General Partner temporarily suspended the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) for all limited partners, in an effort to ensure the Partnership’s ability to continue to operate in compliance with the requirements of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement requires that 86.5% of capital contributions to the Partnership be committed to mortgage loan investments, but also limits the Partnership’s ability to make additional investments in mortgage loans while the Partnership has qualifying withdrawal requests from limited partners that are pending and unpaid. In recent years, Partnership liquidity issues have limited the Partnership’s ability to honor withdrawal requests and/or make pro rata capital distributions at the maximum level (10%), which has restricted the Partnership’s additional mortgage lending activities.
Carried Interest of General Partner
OFG has contributed capital to the Partnership in the amount of 0.5% of the limited partners’ aggregate capital accounts and, together with its carried interest, OFG has an interest of approximately 1% of the limited partners’ capital accounts. This carried interest of OFG of up to 1/2 of 1% is recorded as an expense of the Partnership and credited as a contribution to OFG’s capital account as additional compensation. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, OFG had made cash capital contributions of $1,496,000 to the Partnership ($118,000 of which was distributed to the General Partner along with limited partner capital distributions during 2011). OFG 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 years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

NOTE 11 - CONTINGENCY RESERVES
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement and to satisfy the Partnership’s liquidity requirements, 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, 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, which could lead to unanticipated losses upon sale of such assets.
The 1-1/2% contingency reserves required per the Partnership Agreement as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 were approximately $3,969,000 and $4,286,000, respectively. Cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit as of the same dates were accordingly maintained as reserves.

NOTE 13 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
OFG is entitled to receive from the Partnership a management fee of up to 2.75% per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Partnership’s mortgage loans at the end of the twelve months in the calendar year for services rendered as manager of the Partnership.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
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 $2,312,000 and $1,966,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Service fees amounted to approximately $264,000 and $491,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership owed management and servicing fees to OFG in the amount of approximately $329,000 and $157,000, respectively.
The maximum servicing fees were paid to OFG during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. If the maximum management fees had been paid to OFG during the year ended December 31, 2011, the management fees would have been $2,909,000 (increase of $597,000), which would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 2.4%, and would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.088 from a loss of $0.086. If the maximum management fees had been paid to OFG during the year ended December 31, 2010, the management fees would have been $5,905,000 (increase of $3,939,000), which would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners by approximately 17.3%, and would have increased net loss allocated to limited partners per weighted average limited partner unit by the same percentage to a loss of $0.09 from a loss of $0.08.
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, uninvested cash and real estate activities. Large fluctuations in the management fees paid to the General Partner are normally a result of extraordinary items of income or expense within the Partnership (such as gains or losses from sales of real estate, large increases or decreases in delinquent loans, etc.). Thus, OFG expects that the management fees that it receives from the Partnership will vary in amount and percentage from period to period, and OFG may 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 those loans participated with outside entities. The amounts paid to or collected by OFG for such charges on Partnership loans totaled approximately $779,000 and $132,000 for the years ended December 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 $12,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
OFG originates all loans the Partnership invests in and receives loan origination fees from borrowers. Such fees earned by OFG amounted to approximately $168,000 and $83,000 on loans extended of approximately $10,240,000 and $2,500,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such fees as a percentage of loans extended by the Partnership were 1.6% and 3.3% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. A loan fee paid to OFG in the amount of $78,000 during year ended December 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 were $641,000 and $63,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
As of December 31, 2010, the Partnership owed late payment charges, extension fees and/or other miscellaneous fees to OFG in the amount of approximately $525,000.

NOTE 14 - NET LOSS PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT
Net loss per limited partnership unit is computed using the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during the year. These amounts were approximately 285,083,000 and 289,772,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
NOTE 15 - RENTAL INCOME
The Partnership’s real estate properties held for sale and investment are leased to tenants under noncancellable leases with remaining terms ranging from one to sixteen years. Certain of the leases require the tenant to pay all or some operating expenses of the properties.

NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE
The Partnership measures 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.
OWENS MORTGAGE INVESTMENT FUND,
a California Limited Partnership
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
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 property sales 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 December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 unobservable market data is 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 held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and real estate properties held for investment are carried at amortized cost. 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 appraised values, which include the use of unobservable inputs, the Partnership records the impairment on real estate properties as nonrecurring Level 3.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no transfers in or out of Levels 1 and 2.
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, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16,201,000 and $5,375,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 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 $1,994,000 and $2,004,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 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 $44,880,000 and $121,597,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 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 $2,140,000 and $2,142,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, approximates fair value.
Note Payable
The fair value of the Partnership’s note payable with a carrying value of $10,242,000 and $10,394,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is estimated to be approximately $10,283,000 and $10,446,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 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 December 31, 2011 and 2010 are estimated to approximate fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 17 - 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. 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. The Partnership has accrued an amount that a third party consultant had estimated will need to be paid for this remediation. If additional amounts are required, it will be an obligation of the Partnership. As of December 31, 2011, approximately $430,000 of this obligation remains accrued on the Partnership’s books.
Contractual Obligation
In June 2011, 54th Street Condos, LLC (wholly owned by the Partnership) signed a $2,484,000 construction contract for completion of the remaining condominium units on the property owned by it in Phoenix, Arizona and together with other related costs and construction contingencies, the total estimated cost of improvements will be approximately $3,093,000. Construction began during the third quarter of 2011 and will be completed in phases during the last half of 2012.
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.
NOTE 18 – FOURTH QUARTER INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership recorded a provision for loan losses of approximately $7,555,000 and impairment losses on real estate properties of approximately $9,538,000.
