The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included with the Partnership's Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2002. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the periods may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the year. The Managing General Partner of the Partnership has elected to report results of the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has a limited partnership interest on a 90 day lag basis because the Local Limited Partnerships report their results on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, the financial information of the Local Limited Partnerships included in the accompanying financial statements is as of September 30, 2002 and 2001. 1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships The Partnership has limited partnership interests in twenty-six Local Limited Partnerships which were organized for the purpose of owning and operating multi-family housing complexes, all of which are government-assisted. Upon dissolution of the Local Limited Partnerships, proceeds will be distributed according to the respective Local Limited Partnership agreements. The following is a summary of investments in Local Limited Partnerships at December 31, 2002:
Capital contributions and advances paid to Local Limited Partnerships and purchase price paid to withdrawing partners of Local Limited Partnerships $ 55,658,588 Cumulative equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships (excluding cumulative unrecognized losses of $6,795,052) (40,173,175) Cumulative cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships (3,290,820) ------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships before adjustment 12,194,593 Excess of investment costs over the underlying net assets acquired: Acquisition fees and expenses 1,006,357 Cumulative amortization of acquisition fees and expenses (288,625) ------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships prior to reserve for valuation 12,912,325 Reserve for valuation of investments in Local Limited Partnerships (851,087) -------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships $ 12,061,238 ==============
For the nine months ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership advanced $21,360 to one of the Local Limited Partnerships, all of which was reserved. The Partnership has recorded a reserve for valuation for its investments in certain Local Limited Partnerships because there is evidence of non-temporary declines in the recoverable amounts of these investments. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited) 1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships (continued) ---------------------------------------------------- The Partnership's share of the net losses of the Local Limited Partnerships for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 is $2,349,110. For the nine months ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership has not recognized $1,346,612 of equity in losses relating to Local Limited Partnerships where cumulative equity in losses and cumulative distributions exceeded its total investment in these Local Limited Partnerships. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain matters discussed herein constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Partnership intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements and is including this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Although the Partnership believes the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Partnership can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained. Actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, general economic and real estate conditions and interest rates. Accounting Polices The Partnership's accounting polices include those that relate to its recognition of investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting. The Partnership's policy is as follows: The Partnership accounts for its investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting because the Partnership does not have control over the major operating and financial policies of the Local Limited Partnerships in which it invests. Under the equity method, the investment is carried at cost, adjusted for the Partnership's share of net income or loss and for cash distributions from the Local Limited Partnerships; equity in income or loss of the Local Limited Partnerships is included currently in the Partnership's operations. Under the equity method, a Local Limited Partnership investment will not be carried below zero. To the extent that equity in losses are incurred when the Partnership's carrying value of the respective Local Limited Partnership has been reduced to a zero balance, the losses will be suspended and offset against future income. Income from Partnership investments where cumulative equity in losses plus cumulative distributions have exceeded the total investment in Local Limited Partnerships will not be recorded until all of the related unrecorded losses have been offset. To the extent that a Local Limited Partnership with a carrying value of zero distributes cash to the Partnership, that distribution is recorded as income on the books of the Partnership and is included in "Other Revenue" in the accompanying financial statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 2002, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $2,403,630, as compared to $1,123,750 at March 31, 2002. The increase is attributable to proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities and cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships, partially offset by net cash used for operations. The Managing General Partner initially designated 4% of the Gross Proceeds as Reserves, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The Reserves were established to be used for working capital of the Partnership and contingencies related to the ownership of Local Limited Partnership interests. The Managing General Partner may increase or decrease such Reserves from time to time, as it deems appropriate. At December 31, 2002, on a cash basis, approximately $3,410,000 of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities has been designated as Reserves. As of December 31, 2002, net claims against these Reserves total approximately $72,000 making Reserves available after claims approximately $3,338,000. To date, professional fees relating to various Property issues totaling approximately $209,000 have been paid from Reserves. To date, Reserve funds in the amount of approximately $128,000 also have been used to make additional capital contributions to one Local Limited Partnership. In the event a Local Limited Partnership encounters operating difficulties requiring additional funds, the Partnership's management might deem it in its best interest to voluntarily provide such funds in order to protect its investment. As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership has advanced approximately $221,000 to Local Limited Partnerships to fund operating deficits. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) - ------------------------------------------ The Managing General Partner believes that the investment income earned on the Reserves, along with cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships, to the extent available, will be sufficient to fund the Partnership's ongoing operations. Reserves may be used to fund Partnership operating deficits, if the Managing General Partner deems funding appropriate. If Reserves are not adequate to cover the Partnership's operations, the Partnership will seek other financing sources including, but not limited to, the deferral of Asset Management Fees paid to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner or working with Local Limited Partnerships to increase cash distributions. Since the Partnership invests as a limited partner, the Partnership has no contractual duty to provide additional funds to Local Limited Partnerships beyond its specified investment. Thus, at December 31, 2002, the Partnership had no contractual or other obligation to any Local Limited Partnership which had not been paid or provided for. Cash distributions No cash distributions were made during the nine months ended December 31, 2002. Results of Operations Three Month Period The Partnership's results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2002 resulted in a net loss of $251,852, as compared to a net loss of $630,895 for the same period in 2001. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to a decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships and an increase in other revenue. The decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships is primarily due to an increase in unrecognized losses by the Partnership of Local Limited Partnerships whose cumulative equity in losses and cumulative distributions have exceeded its total investment. The increase in other revenue relates to the timing of distributions received by the Partnership from Local Limited Partnerships, and an increase in distributions from Local Limited Partnerships whose cumulative equity in losses and cumulative distributions have exceeded its total investment. Nine Month Period The Partnership's results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 resulted in a net loss of $1,324,539, as compared to a net loss of $1,695,227 for the same period in 2001. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to a decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships and an increase in other revenue. These effects were partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses, as well as a decrease in investment revenue. Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships decreased primarily due to an increase in unrecognized losses by the Partnership of Local Limited Partnerships whose cumulative equity in losses and cumulative distributions have exceeded its total investment. The increase in other revenue relates to the timing of distributions received by the Partnership from Local Limited Partnerships, and an increase in distributions from Local Limited Partnerships whose cumulative equity in losses and cumulative distributions have exceeded its total investment. The increase in general and administrative expense is primarily due to a change in the estimate of amounts due to an affiliate of a General Partner for administrative expenses necessary for the operation of the Partnership related to the year ended March 31, 2002 which are being expensed in the nine months ended December 31, 2002. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Property Discussions The Partnership's investment portfolio consists of limited partnership interests in twenty-six Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns and operates a multi-family apartment complex. A majority of the Properties have stabilized operations and operate above break-even. A few Properties generate cash flow deficits that the Local General Partners of those Properties fund through project expenses loans, subordinated loans or operating escrows. However, some Properties have persistent operating difficulties that could either: i) have an adverse impact on the Partnership's liquidity; ii) result in their foreclosure or iii) result in the Managing General Partner deeming it appropriate for the Partnership to dispose of its interest in the Property. Also, the Managing General Partner, in the normal course of the Partnership's business, may desire to dispose of certain Local Limited Partnerships. The following Property discussions focus only on such Properties. The Local General Partner at Westover Station, located in Newport News, Virginia, reached an agreement with the Property's lender to refinance the debt on the Property. As part of the refinancing, which closed on November 1, 2002, the Partnership received Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, as defined in the Local Limited Partnership Agreement, of approximately $668,000. The Managing General Partner retained the entire amount of the proceeds in the Partnership's Reserves, as permitted by, and in accordance with, the Local Limited Partnership Agreement. The Managing General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, also negotiated an agreement with the Local General Partner that will allow the Partnership to dispose of its interest in the Property after the end of its compliance period, which is December 2006. Operations at Historic New Center, located in Detroit, Michigan, continue to struggle. The Property suffers from poor location and security issues. Vandalism has caused an increase in maintenance and repair expenses and has negatively affected the Property's occupancy levels and tenant profile. The Property has had several changes in site management in the past 12-24 months and is currently managed by an affiliate of the Local General Partner. Efforts to increase curb appeal and increase qualified tenant traffic have not materially improved occupancy. Advances from the Local General Partner and the Partnership have enabled the property to remain current on its mortgage obligations. The Managing General Partner will continue to closely monitor the site manager's efforts to improve Property operations; however, due to the Property's continuing struggles, the Managing General Partner is concerned about its long-term viability. Due to these concerns, the Managing General Partner believes it is in the best interest of the Property to replace the Local General Partner. Accordingly, the Managing General Partner has been working with the Local General Partner to identify an acceptable replacement. As previously reported regarding Westgate, located in Bismarck, North Dakota, in order to protect the remaining tax credits generated by the Property, the Managing General Partner consummated the transfer of 50% of the Partnership's capital and profits in the Local Limited Partnership to an affiliate of the Local General Partner in November 1997. The Managing General Partner also had the right to transfer the Partnership's remaining interest to the Local General Partner any time after one year from the initial transfer. However, due to subsequent transfers by the Local General Partner of its interest in the Property, the date when the Managing General Partner had the right to transfer the remaining interest did not occur until September 1, 2001. The agreement allowed the Partnership to retain its full share of the Property's tax credits until such time as the remaining interest is put to the new Local General Partner. The Property generated its last tax credits during 2001. Further, the new Local General Partner has the right to call the remaining interest after the tax credit period has expired. Historically, Carib Villas II and Carib Villas III, located in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, have struggled to maintain stabilized occupancy. Also, due to the Properties' proximity to the ocean, weather conditions erode their physical condition quickly, and therefore, maintenance issues are a concern. In April 2000, a replacement site management company was brought in to manage the Properties' operations. The replacement site management company stated its desire to purchase the General and Limited Partner interests in the Properties and, effective January 1, 2001, BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Property Discussions (continued) assumed the Local General Partner interest in the Properties. The Managing General Partner negotiated a plan that ultimately transfers the Partnership's interests in the Properties to the new Local General Partner. The plan includes provisions to minimize the risk of recapture. The new Local General Partner has completed many capital improvements and greatly improved operations at the Properties. A newly constructed property adjacent to Whispering Trace, located in Woodstock, Georgia, began operations during 2001. Although the new property had difficulties in completing initial lease-up due to a lack of qualified tenants, its superior amenities and curb appeal allow it to have a competitive advantage over Whispering Trace. Further, employers in the area have had layoffs, forcing some tenants to leave the area in search of employment. As a result, occupancy at Whispering Trace has declined. The Property has incurred significant capital expenditures in order to remain competitive in the marketplace and it may become necessary for the Managing General Partner to use some of the Partnership's reserves to fund operating deficits. The Partnership has implemented policies and practices for assessing potential impairment of its investments in Local Limited Partnerships. Real estate experts analyze the investments to determine if impairment indicators exist. If so, the carrying value is compared to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If a significant impairment in carrying value exits, a provision to write down the asset to fair value will be recorded in the Partnership's financial statements. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Controls and Procedures Based on the Partnership's evaluation within 90 days prior to filing this Form 10-QSB, the Partnership's director has concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Partnership files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
