Item 1.Business

 

Organization

 

Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P. (the "Fund") is a limited partnership formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act as of September 19, 1991. Effective as of June 1, 2001, there was a restructuring and, as a result, the Fund’s general partner was reorganized as follows. The general partner of the Fund continues to be Boston Capital Associates III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The general partner of the general partner is now BCA Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, whose sole general partner is C&M Management, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation. John P. Manning is the principal of Boston Capital Partners, Inc. The limited partner of the general partner is Capital Investment Holdings, a general partnership whose partners are certain officers and employees of Boston Capital Partners, Inc., and its affiliates. The assignor limited partner is BCTC III Assignor Corp., a Delaware corporation which is wholly-owned by John P. Manning.

 

The assignor limited partner was formed for the purpose of serving in that capacity for the Fund and will not engage in any other business. Units of beneficial interest in the limited partnership interest of the assignor limited partner are assigned by the assignor limited partner by means of beneficial assignee certificates ("BACs") to investors and investors are entitled to all the rights and economic benefits of a limited partner of the Fund, including rights to a percentage of the income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and distributions of the Fund.

 

A Registration Statement on Form S-11 and the related prospectus,(together with each subsequently filed prospectus, the "Prospectus") was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and became effective January 24, 1992 in connection with a public offering (together with each subsequent offering of BACs described herein, the "Offering") in one or more series of a minimum of 250,000 BACs and a maximum of 20,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC. On September 4, 1993 the Fund filed Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which registered an additional 2,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in one or more series. The registration for additional BACs became effective on October 6, 1993. As of March 31, 2013, subscriptions had been received and accepted by the General Partner in Series 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 for 21,996,102 BACs, representing capital contributions of $219,961,020. The Fund issued the last BACs in Series 19 on December 17, 1993. This concluded the Offering of the Fund.

Description of Business

 

The Fund's principal business is to invest as a limited partner in other limited partnerships (the "Operating Partnerships") each of which will own or lease and will operate an apartment complex exclusively or partially for low- and moderate-income tenants. Each Operating Partnership in which the Fund invests owns apartment complexes, which are completed, newly constructed, under construction or rehabilitation, or to-be constructed or rehabilitated, and which are expected to receive government assistance. Each apartment complex is expected to qualify for the low-income housing tax credit under Section 42 of the Code (the "Federal Housing Tax Credit"), providing tax benefits over a period of ten to twelve years in the form of tax credits which investors may use to offset income, subject to strict limitations, from other sources. Some apartment complexes may also qualify for the historic rehabilitation tax credit under Section 47 of the Code (the "Rehabilitation Tax Credit"). Section 236 (f) (ii) of the National Housing Act, as amended, and Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, as amended, each provide for the making by HUD of rent supplement payments to low income tenants in properties which receive other forms of federal assistance including tax credits. The payments for each tenant, which are made directly to the owner of their property, generally are in amounts to enable the tenant to pay rent equal to 30% of the adjusted family income. Some of the apartment complexes in which the Fund has invested are receiving such rent supplements from HUD. HUD has been in the process of converting rent supplement assistance to assistance paid not to the owner of the apartment complex, but directly to the individuals. At this time, the Fund is unable to predict whether Congress will continue rent supplement programs payable directly to owners of apartment complexes.

 

As of March 31, 2013 the Fund had invested in 25 Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 15, 31 Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 16, 25 Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 17, 20 Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 18 and 9 Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 19. A description of these Operating Partnerships is set forth in Item 2 herein.

 

The business objectives of the Fund are to:

 

(1)Provide current tax benefits to investors in the form of Federal Housing Tax Credits and, in limited instances, a small amount of Rehabilitation Tax Credits, which an investor may apply, subject to strict limitations, against the investor's federal income tax liability from active, portfolio and passive income;

 

(2)Preserve and protect the Fund's capital and provide capital appreciation and cash distributions through increases in value of the Fund's investments and, to the extent applicable, equity buildup through periodic payments on the mortgage indebtedness with respect to the apartment complexes;

 

(3)Provide tax benefits in the form of passive losses which an investor may apply to offset his passive income (if any); and

 

(4)Provide cash distributions (except with respect to the Fund's investment in some non-profit Operating Partnerships) from capital transaction proceeds. The Operating Partnerships intend to hold the apartment complexes for appreciation in value. The Operating Partnerships may sell the apartment complexes after a period of time if financial conditions in the future make such sales desirable and if such sales are permitted by government restrictions.

Employees

 

The Fund does not have any employees. Services are performed by the general partner and its affiliates and agents retained by them.

 

Item 1A.Risk Factors

 

As used in this Item 1A, references to “we, “us” and “our” mean the Fund.

 

An investment in our BACs and our investments in Operating Partnerships are subject to risks. These risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in our BACs, and the amount of proceeds available for distribution to our limited partners, if any, on liquidation of our investments.

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the following factors which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business operations.

 

The ability of limited partners to claim tax losses from their investment in us is limited.

 

The IRS may audit us or an Operating Partnership and challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits and tax losses allocable to the investors could be reduced if the IRS were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could reduce tax benefits from an investment in our BACs. Changes in tax laws could also impact the tax benefits from an investment in our BACs and/or the value of the Operating Partnerships. Until the Operating Partnerships have completed a mandatory fifteen year Low Income Housing Tax Credit compliance period, investors are at risk for potential recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that have already been claimed.

 

The Low Income Housing Tax Credits rules are extremely complicated and noncompliance with these rules may have adverse consequences for BAC holders.

 

Noncompliance with applicable tax regulations may result in the loss of future Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits already taken. In most cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that an individual can use is limited to the tax liability due on the person’s last $25,000 of taxable income. The Operating Partnerships may be sold at a price which would not result in our realizing cash distributions or proceeds from the transaction. Accordingly, we may be unable to distribute any cash to our investors. Low Income Housing Tax Credits may be the only benefit from an investment in our BACs.

 

5
 

 

Poor performance of one housing complex, or the real estate market generally, could impair our ability to satisfy our investment objectives.

 

Each housing complex is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If an Operating Partnership failed to pay its mortgage, it could lose its housing complex in foreclosure. If foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years of the existence of the Fund, the loss of any remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a fractional recapture of previously claimed Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and a loss of our investment in the housing complex would occur. To the extent the Operating Partnerships receive government financing or operating subsidies, they may be subject to one or more of the following risks:

-difficulties in obtaining rent increases;
-limitations on cash distributions;
-limitations on sales or refinancing of Operating Partnerships;
-limitations on transfers of interests in Operating Partnerships;
-limitations on removal of local general partners;
-limitations on subsidy programs; and
-possible changes in applicable regulations.

 

The value of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions, including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions, among others.

 

No trading market for the BACs exists or is expected to develop.

 

There is currently no active trading market for the BACs. Accordingly, limited partners may be unable to sell their BACs or may have to sell BACs at a discount. Limited partners should consider their BACs to be a long-term investment.

 

Investors may realize taxable gain on sale or disposition of BACs.

 

Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of BACs, investors will realize taxable income to the extent that their allocable share of the non-recourse mortgage indebtedness on the apartment complexes, together with the money they receive from the sale of the BACs, is greater than the original cost of their BACs. This realized taxable income is reduced to the extent that investors have suspended passive losses or credits. It is possible that the sale of BACs may not generate enough cash to pay the tax obligations arising from the sale.

 

Investors may have tax liability in excess of cash.

 

Investors eventually may be allocated profits for tax purposes, which exceed any cash distributed to them. Under these circumstances, unless an investor has passive losses or credits to reduce this tax liability, the investor will have to pay federal income tax without a corresponding cash distribution. Similarly, in the event of a sale or foreclosure of an apartment complex or a sale of BACs, an investor may be allocated taxable income, resulting in tax liability, in excess of any cash distributed to him or her as a result of the event.

 

6
 

 

Investors may not receive cash if apartment complexes are sold.

 

There is no assurance that investors will receive any cash distributions from the sale or refinancing of an apartment complex. The price at which an apartment complex is sold may not be large enough to pay the mortgage and other expenses which must be paid at such time. Even if there are net cash proceeds from a sale distributed to the Fund, expenses such as accrued management fees and unpaid loans will be deducted pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Fund Agreement. If any of these events happen, investors will not get all of their investment back, and the only benefit from an investment will be the tax credits received.

 

The sale or refinancing of the apartment complexes is dependent upon the following material factors:

 

-The necessity of obtaining the consent of the operating general partners;
-The necessity of obtaining the approval of any governmental agency(ies) providing government assistance to the apartment complex; and
-The uncertainty of the market.

 

Any sale may occur well after the fifteen-year federal housing tax credit compliance period.

 

We have insufficient sources of cash to pay our existing liabilities.

 

We currently do not have sufficient cash resources to satisfy our financial liabilities. Furthermore, we do not anticipate that we will have sufficient available cash to pay our future financial liabilities. Substantially all of our existing liabilities are payable to our general partner and its affiliates. Though the amounts payable to the General Partner and its affiliates are contractually currently payable, we do not believe that the General Partner or its affiliates will demand immediate payment of these contractual obligations in the near term; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. We would be materially adversely affected if the general partner or its affiliates demanded payment in the near term of our existing contractual liabilities or suspended the provision of services to us because of our inability to satisfy these obligations. All monies currently deposited, or that will be deposited in the future, into the Fund's working capital reserves are intended to be utilized to pay our existing and future liabilities.

Item 1B.Unresolved Staff Comments

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 2.Properties

 

The Fund has acquired a limited partnership interest in 110 Operating Partnerships in five series, identified in the table set forth below. In each instance the apartment complexes owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the Federal Housing Tax Credit. Initial occupancy of a unit in each apartment complex which complied with the minimum set-aside test (i.e., initial occupancy by tenants with incomes equal to no more than a designated percentage of area median income) and the rent restriction test (i.e., gross rent charged tenants does not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to as "Qualified Occupancy." The general partner believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.

 

Please refer to Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a more detailed discussion of operational difficulties experienced by certain of the Operating Partnerships.

Item 7.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including our intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, strategies and predictions of our future activities, or other future events or conditions. These statements are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by these acts. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including, for example, the factors identified in Part I, Item 1A of this Report. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

 

Liquidity

 

The Fund's primary source of funds is the proceeds of each Offering. Other sources of liquidity include (i) interest earned on capital contributions held pending investment or on working capital reserves and (ii) cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund has and will invest. All sources of liquidity are available to meet the obligations of the Fund. The Fund does not anticipate significant cash distributions in the long or short term from operations of the Operating Partnerships.

 

The Fund is currently accruing the annual fund management fee to enable each series to meet current and future third party obligations. Fund management fees accrued during the year ended March 31, 2013 were $1,094,518, and total fund management fees accrued as of March 31, 2013 were $23,197,360. During the year ended March 31, 2013 the Fund paid fees of $1,612,876 which were applied to prior year accruals.

 

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, such liabilities will be deferred until the Fund receives sale or refinancing proceeds from Operating Partnerships, and at that time proceeds from such sales or refinancing would be used to satisfy such liabilities.

Beckwood Manor Eight Limited Partnership (Lakeside Apartments) is a 32-unit senior property located in Lake Village, Arkansas. The property receives rental assistance for 23 units and is more successful renting these units. It remains difficult to rent the units that do not have rental assistance. There are several other low income tax credit developments in the area offering rental assistance, and the property’s continued low occupancy is attributed to this competition. Management advertises the property in Lake Village’s local paper and in several other regional newspapers. The property also distributes fliers to all surrounding communities; however, management believes word of mouth and referrals are the most effective forms of obtaining potential residents. In 2012, occupancy averaged 50%, down from 53% in 2011. The property generated an $27,445 deficit in 2012, which was primarily funded by accruing management fees and management payroll due to an affiliate of the operating general partner. The operating general partner has historically funded operating deficits in this manner. Through March 2013, the property is averaging 55% occupancy and is operating below breakeven. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are all current. On December 31, 2010, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Beckwood Manor Eight.

 

Livingston Plaza, Limited (Livingston Plaza) is a 24-unit, family property located in Livingston, Texas. The property has struggled with occupancy levels for several years. Despite efforts to improve the reputation of the property and reduce resident turnover and evictions, occupancy averaged 52% and 64% in 2011 and 2012, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, Livingston Plaza’s average occupancy was 67%. The continued low occupancy is partially due to economic conditions in the area and lack of qualified applicants. Management reports that trailer home ownership is very affordable in the area and often monthly mortgage payments are at a similar level as the rents at Livingston Plaza. There are also several competitive properties less than a mile from the property. Marketing consists of advertisements in local newspapers and distributing fliers to local businesses, churches, and schools. Despite the low occupancy, with operating expenses tightly controlled by the operating general partner including its affiliated management company not charging a management fee to manage the property, Livingston Plaza was able to operate at a breakeven level in 2012 and during the first quarter of 2013. The property operated below breakeven in 2011 with the deficit funded primarily by withdrawals from the replacement reserve escrow account. The mortgage payments, real estate taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are current as of March 31, 2013. The operating general partner guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Livingston Plaza. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership. It is unlikely that any proceeds will be available to the investment limited partners from the disposition of the property or Operating Partnership.

 

In April 2011, the operating general partner of Showboat Manor LDHA entered into an agreement to sell the property to a non-affiliated entity and the transaction closed on July 7, 2011.

Butler Rental Housing LP (Forest Pointe Apartments) is a 25-unit family property located in Butler, Georgia. In 2012 the property operated below breakeven due to low occupancy caused by a weak rental market. Occupancy began to decline in June 2011 and the property averaged 80% occupancy in 2012. Occupancy had declined due to high unemployment and an overall trend of household consolidation in the market. In 2012 the management company, responsible for the property, hired new onsite and district managers. The new staff has improved operations. They have increased marketing efforts and are offering tenant referral incentives to counter the effects of the competitive rental market. As of March 2013, the property was 92% occupied. As a result of the increased occupancy, the property is operating only slightly below breakeven. An effort to appeal the 2012 tax bill was successful and a 50% reduction will be realized on the upcoming tax bill that will improve the property’s cash flow. The operating general partner is funding deficits as needed. The mortgage payments, taxes, and insurance are all current.

Blairsville Rental Housing, Limited Partnership (Tan Yard Branch Apartments I) is a 24-unit family property located in Blairsville, GA. The property has performed poorly over the last several years due to locally weak economic conditions. Many employers have either closed or continue to significantly reduce employee hours. As a result of a large portion of the tenant base being composed of hourly-wage employees, evictions and move-outs have increased. Because of the property’s rural location, traffic at the site has been limited. Management has been aggressively marketing the community by distributing fliers throughout the area and by having brightly colored directional signage installed. Additionally, a tenant referral program has been implemented and move-in specials are being offered. These efforts have been successful, as occupancy increased from 63% in January 2012 to 88% in March 2013. However, the property continued to operate below breakeven in the first quarter of 2013. A successful 2012 tax appeal effort will reduce property taxes into 2013. The deficit is being funded through the accrual of related party management fees. The mortgage, real estate taxes, and insurance payments are all current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Blairsville Rental Housing.

 

St. Croix Commons Limited Partnership (St. Croix Commons Apartments) is a 40-unit family property located in Woodville, Wisconsin. Occupancy at the end of the first quarter of 2013 was 98%. Although expenses remain below the state averages for the investment limited partnership’s portfolio of properties, low rental rates in the area have prevented the property from achieving breakeven operations. The property’s taxes and insurance are current; however, the operating general partner stopped making debt service payments in 2011 due to cash flow shortfalls. In the first quarter of 2012, the investment general partner learned that the property was ten months in arrears on its mortgage and the lender had issued a notice of default. The operating general partner contacted the lender in the hope of gaining an interest only forbearance for a four year period. The lender did not agree to modify the terms of the loan and demanded a payment of $736,851 to be made by November 15, 2011 to cure the default. The operating general partner failed to make the payment and the lender commenced foreclosure proceedings. The redemption period for the foreclosure in this action was six months. The default foreclosure judgment was entered on February 23, 2012; the redemption period ended on August 23, 2012. The resulting foreclosure sale in 2012 did not result in any recapture or penalties because the property was beyond the compliance period. A local developer bought the loan at sheriff’s sale from the lender. The operating general partner then bought the property back from the local developer. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to St. Croix Commons.

To increase leasing activity and improve operating efficiency, management is in the process of replacing the management and maintenance staff. Management continues to advertise in the local newspaper and place fliers in area schools and at the local community center, but persistent low employment and a depressed local economy continue to present leasing challenges. A $15 per unit per month rent increase approved by the Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) and implemented in January 2012 improved revenue, but not enough to greatly improve performance. MHDC approved management’s petition for an additional $15 per unit, per month, effective January 1, 2013. This will raise an additional $3,600 annually and while it would again improve revenue, it is unlikely to have enough of an impact to greatly affect performance without increased occupancy. High operating expenses continue to be an issue due to increased legal fees tied to collections, high utility costs and maintenance costs related to vacant unit turnovers. All taxes, insurance and mortgage payments are current as of December 31, 2012. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Greenfield Properties, Limited Partnership. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $55,000 as of June 30, 2011. In addition, equity outstanding for the Operating Partnership in the amount of $1,784 was recorded as gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2011.

Meadows of Southgate L.D.H.A., LP (Meadows of Southgate) is an 83-unit elderly property located in Southgate, Michigan. In 2012 the property continued to operate below breakeven largely due to ongoing occupancy challenges caused by a weak rental market. Occupancy averaged 65% in 2012, and as of March 2013, the property was 74% occupied. The operating general partner confirmed that the Down River area of Detroit is still dealing with a very soft rental market. In addition, Wayne County continues to reduce supportive services, which is accelerating the deterioration of the low-income rental market. The management agent, an affiliate of the operating general partner, continues to focus on improving occupancy through marketing initiatives including rental concessions, lowered rental rates, and extended leasing office hours. A Craigslist advertising campaign was initiated in 2012 and is the primary cause of the improvement in occupancy over the last 12 months. Deficits are being funded through the accrual of related party management fees. All real estate tax, mortgage, and insurance payments are current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Meadows of Southgate.

Falcon Ridge L.P. (Falcon Ridge Apartments) is a 32-unit family property located in Beattyville, Kentucky. Although occupancy remained stable at 97% between 2011 and 2012, the 2012 audit resulted in a cash flow deficit. This was due to decreased rental income and increased maintenance expenses and real estate taxes. USDA assistance payments remained unchanged, while tenant rent decreased from $22,447 in 2011 to $16,065 in 2012. The operating general partner has requested, but not yet received, clarification as to why rental revenue decreased as well as operating and occupancy information for the first quarter of 2013. The 15-year low income tax credit compliance period expired in December 2008.

Skowhegan Housing, LP (West Front Residence) is a 30-unit, 100% LIHTC property located in Skowhegan, Maine. The property operated below breakeven in 2011 and 2012 due to insufficient rental rates and high debt service. The mortgage has been placed in default and the operating general partner has filed for bankruptcy protection. Occupancy as of December 2012 was 93% but has dropped to 87% as of March 2013. Management had proposed a rent increase in its 2012 budget to partially offset high debt service, but their request was denied by Maine State Housing Authority (MSHA). A second request made to MSHA for a $10 per unit, per month rent increase, to be effective January 1, 2013, was approved and was implemented as planned. This will add an additional $3,600 annually to revenue but will not on its own be enough to push operations above breakeven.

 

On October 11, 2011, MSHA, the mortgage lender, issued a notice of default due to unpaid taxes, delays in past insurance payments, and underfunded tax, insurance, and replacement reserve escrow accounts. On November 11, 2011, the investment general partner issued a letter to the operating general partner stating that they are in violation of the Operating Partnership Agreement for failure to advance funds to meet operating expenses and debt service, including replacement reserves, as the operating general partner’s operating deficit guaranty is unlimited in time and amount. As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2011, the insurance payment issue had been resolved and the operating general partner had submitted a payment plan to MSHA to address the remaining default issues. In August 2012, it was learned that the operating general partner’s proposal was denied by MSHA and that MSHA had called the note on the property, demanding either the immediate repayment of the outstanding mortgage balance due, or a foreclosure sale of the property at auction. The date of the foreclosure was set for September 12, 2012.

 

The operating general partner refused to make payment and requested consent from the investment general partner to file for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. After exhausting all other alternatives, the investment general partner gave its consent and the operating general partner filed for bankruptcy on September 12, 2012. The property continues its daily operations while in receivership and takes direction from the trustee appointed by the bankruptcy court. The operating general partner is in negotiations with MSHA to restructure the debt at a lower interest rate. The operating general partner projects that a new agreement will decrease the interest rate on the loan by two to three percentage points annually and include a balloon payment due at the end of year five. This would produce a savings of more than $50,000 annually and would likely allow the property to operate above breakeven. At the end of year five, the operating general partner plans to explore various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Skowhegan Housing, LP.

Green Acres Limited Partnership (Green Acres Estates) is a 48-unit (20 tax credit units) property located in West Bath, Maine. The property operated below breakeven in 2011 and 2012 due to high vacancy, insufficient rental rates, high operating expenses, and high debt service. Occupancy ended 2012 at 81% and remains at 81% as of March 31, 2013. Improving occupancy is a challenge due to the property’s poor physical condition, the lack of available rent-ready units, and its isolated location. Management indicated that the closing of the nearby Brunswick Naval Air Station in May 2011 has affected occupancy through subsequent high local unemployment and led to the relocation of many potential new tenants. Management has no plans to petition MSHA for a rental increase until occupancy improves. Higher operating expenses in 2012 are the result of management’s efforts to improve the quality of its resident base by aggressively pursuing collections and the eviction of non-performing tenants and the high cost of vacant unit turnover caused by the poor condition of the buildings.

 

On October 11, 2011, the lender, MSHA, issued a notice of default due to unpaid taxes, delays in past insurance payments, and underfunded tax, insurance, and replacement reserve escrow accounts. On November 11, 2011, the investment general partner issued a letter to the operating general partner stating that they are in violation of the Operating Partnership Agreement for failure to advance funds to meet operating expenses and debt service, including replacement reserves, as the operating general partner’s operating deficit guaranty is unlimited in time and amount. The operating general partner submitted a payment plan to the MSHA during the fourth quarter of 2011 to address these default issues; however, the operating general partner’s proposal was denied by MSHA. MSHA called the note on the property and demanded either the immediate repayment of the outstanding mortgage balance due, or a foreclosure sale of the property at auction. The date of the foreclosure was set for September 12, 2012. The operating general partner refused to make payment and requested consent from the investment general partner to file for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. After exhausting all other alternatives, the investment general partner gave its consent and the operating general partner filed for bankruptcy on September 12, 2012.

However, the property operated below breakeven in the first quarter of 2013 and occupancy was 88% as of March 31, 2013. In the second quarter of 2012 the investment general partner was notified that the second mortgage was delinquent. The second mortgage is a $250,000 mortgage held by the Mount Vernon Urban Renewal Agency (MVURA). The operating general partner has had successful discussions with MVURA and no payments are being required at this time due to a pending debt restructure.  To date, MVURA is cooperating with the operating general partner and has not issued a default notice.  The operating general partner expects the debt restructure will allow the property to meet its debt service and will resolve the delinquent debt payment issue. All taxes, insurance, and payments on the first mortgage are current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Mt. Vernon Associates.

Ripley Housing, Limited Partnership (Oakhaven Apartments) is a 24-unit family property located in Ripley, Mississippi. The property struggled with low occupancy in 2011 and early 2012.

Marengo Park Apartments LP (West Pine Homes) is a 24-unit property located in Marengo Park, IA. Occupancy has historically been an issue at the property, mainly due to evictions for nonpayment of rent and residents vacating because of job losses. The property was previously operating under a Servicing Workout Plan approved by Rural Development which expired on September 30, 2012. The Plan aimed to fund the replacement reserves, make payables current, and resolve capital improvement issues through expanded marketing efforts to improve occupancy. Currently, a new workout plan for the property is being reviewed by Rural Development. Current marketing includes advertising on Rent.com, advertising in the Local Free Shopper (which covers three cities/towns), posting fliers in the local community and frequent contacts with local agencies, as well as ‘for rent’ signs located on the property. In 2012, occupancy remained a concern as the property averaged 78% occupancy for the year. However, despite the low occupancy, the property operated above breakeven. The property is able to operate above breakeven at low occupancy levels because management keeps very tight control on expenses. As of March 31, 2013, the property is 67% occupied and operating above breakeven.

Carrollton Villa, L.P. (Meadow Ridge Apartments), is a 35-unit family project in Carrollton, Missouri. The property is operating with below breakeven operations caused by low rental rates and high operating expenses, specifically high utility costs. The property averaged 99% occupancy throughout 2012 and continues to maintain 99% as of March 31, 2013. Management petitioned the Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) for a rent increase, to be effective May 1, 2013, and expects to receive approval within the next few weeks. This is projected to increase revenue by an additional $8,100 annually. Operating expenses were reduced in 2012 by discontinuing the use of outside contractors for cleaning, maintenance and repairs which were completed more economically by in-house staff. To alleviate pressure on cash flow, in 2004 MHDC agreed to make the mortgage cash flow only for a year, which would then be revisited on a year-to-year basis. MHDC has since extended its deferral through the remaining term of the loan, in 2036. This has allowed the property to reduce its debt service payments, and operating deficits. The real estate taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current as of March 2013. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Carrollton Villas. The investment general partner continues to look at various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Forest Associates Limited (Sharon Apartments) is a 24-unit apartment complex for families located in Forest, OH. The operating general partner passed away in the second quarter of 2007 and his widow assumed the operating general partner responsibilities. During 2008, communication with the new operating general partner became extremely difficult. The operations declined and the property operated below breakeven for 2008 with occupancy ending at 63% for December 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the investment general partner learned that the current management company’s contract had been terminated as of December 31, 2008. In addition, Rural Development accelerated the note and started foreclosure proceedings. Although the operating general partner appealed, the appeal was denied. The investment general partner learned of these developments from the real estate broker engaged by the operating general partner. The affiliated management company of a potential replacement operating general partner was placed on-site by Rural Development during May 2009. The potential operating general partner had been interested in acquiring the operating general partner and investment general partner interests, but attempts by the potential operating general partner to develop a workout plan failed and Rural Development foreclosed on the property on September 16, 2011. On December 31, 2010, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Forest Associates. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, no gain on the foreclosure of the Operating Partnership was recorded as of December 31, 2011.

 

Sherwood Knoll L.P. (Sherwood Knoll Apartments) is a 24-unit family project in Rainsville, Alabama. Occupancy averaged 90% and 91% in 2011 and 2012, respectively. A new site manager was hired in the second quarter of 2011, and regional management reports that she has been very effective at collecting current and delinquent rents. To assist in improving property operations, Rural Development approved a $10 rent increase effective January 1, 2011. This caused 2011 revenue to improve by 9% despite the fact that occupancy decreased by 5%. Although operating expenses increased by 15% in 2011, the property was able to generate cash due to the higher revenue. Rural Development approved an additional rent increase of $15 that began on January 1, 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, occupancy dropped to 88%, with operations below breakeven status. The property has no operating cash and reported an underfunded tax & insurance escrow account for the year. The operating deficit guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. The real estate taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Sherwood Knoll, L.P. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

 

Northpointe, L.P. (Northpointe Apartments) is a 158-unit family property located in Kansas City, MO. Rents have been kept below the maximum allowable to remain competitive with two recently developed tax credit properties and two similarly priced market rate properties located nearby. Through the fourth quarter of 2012, occupancy averaged 94% and was at 92% as of December 2012. Occupancy has declined slightly in 2013 averaging 91% at March 31, 2013. The property appears to be operating at breakeven through December 2012 due to reduced maintenance and administrative costs and despite low rental rates and high debt service payments. To remain competitive, rather than increase its advertised rates, management has elected to gradually increase rental rates on its existing tenant base at the time of renewal. It is also planning a temporary, $499 per month, special offer in the first quarter of 2013 for new applicants considering one of the eight, one-bedroom apartments currently available on site. Management continues to advertise in For Rent Magazine and online. By increasing the frequency of unit inspections and through increased regular contact with residents, management has been able to reduce maintenance expenses and vacant unit turnover costs by identifying and billing for damages before residents exit the property. By also working harder to convince non-performing residents to vacate prior to eviction, legal and administrative expenses were reduced and costs savings realized throughout the year. The operating general partner and investment general partner have explored refinancing and disposition options, but the significant prepayment penalty of $770,000 associated with the debt has prevented a sale or refinance from being a feasible option. The operating general partner plans to continue funding the property to the best of his ability until the mortgage maturity date of August 2014. Written documentation received confirms that the property’s mortgage, real estate taxes and insurance payments are all current through December 2012. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Northpointe Limited Partnership. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Principal Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require the Fund to make various estimates and assumptions. The following section is a summary of some aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of the Fund’s financial condition and results of operations. The Fund believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the financial statements.

 

The Fund is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which are primarily investments in limited partnerships. The Fund accounts for its investment in limited partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Fund does not control the operations of the Operating Partnerships. The purpose of an impairment analysis is to verify that the real estate investment balance reflected on the balance sheet does not exceed the value of the underlying investments.

 

If the book value of the Fund’s investment in an Operating Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, which generally consists of the remaining future Low-Income Housing Credits allocable to the Fund and the estimated residual value to the Fund, the Fund reduces its investment in the Operating Partnership.

 

In accordance with the accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Fund determines when it should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) in its financial statements, and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE. The analysis that must be performed to determine which entity should consolidate a VIE focuses on control and economic factors.  A VIE is a legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets, which must be consolidated by a company if it is the primary beneficiary because it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. 

 

Based on this guidance, the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund invests meet the definition of a VIE because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations.  However, management does not consolidate the Fund’s interests in these VIEs, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities.  The Fund currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheets, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements. The Fund’s balance in investment in Operating Partnerships plus advances made to Operating Partnerships represents its maximum exposure to loss.  The Fund’s exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying Housing Complexes as well as the strength of the general partners and their guarantee against credit recapture to the investors of the Fund.

Recent Accounting Changes

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update to existing guidance related to fair value measurements on how to measure fair value and what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. For fair value measurements categorized as level 3, a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, a description of the valuation processes and narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not materially affect the Fund's condensed financial statements.

Item 9a.   Controls and Procedures
     
  (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     
    As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Fund’s general partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of C&M Management, Inc., carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Fund’s “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 with respect to each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the disclosure controls and procedures with respect to each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole, were adequate and effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to any series or the Fund as a whole required to be included in the Fund’s periodic SEC filings.
     
  (b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
     
    Management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) of each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole. The Fund’s internal control system over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Fund’s management regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
     
    Due to inherent limitations, an internal control system over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
     
    The Fund's general partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of Boston Capital Associates III LP, assessed the effectiveness of the internal controls and procedures over financial reporting with respect to each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole, as of March 31, 2013. In making this assessment, the Fund's management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of March 31, 2013, its internal control over financial reporting with respect to each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole was effective.
     
  (c) Changes in Internal Controls
     
    There were no changes in the Fund management's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Fund management's internal control over financial reporting.
