The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. BOSTON FINANCIAL TAX CREDIT FUND VIII (A Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included with the Fund's 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1998. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Fund'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 has elected to report results of the Local Limited Partnerships 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 that is included in the accompanying financial statements is as of June 30, 1998 and 1997. 1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships The Fund has acquired an interest in ten Local Limited Partnerships which own and operate multi-family housing complexes. The Fund, as Investor Limited Partner, pursuant to the Local Limited Partnership Agreements, has generally acquired a 99% interest in the profits, losses, tax credits and cash flows from operations of the Local Limited Partnerships, with the exception of Springwood, Hemlock Ridge, Pike Place and West End Place, which interests are 79.20%, 77%, 90% and 90%, respectively. Another partnership sponsored by an affiliate of the General Partner owns the remaining 19.80% Limited Partner interest in Springwood. Upon dissolution, proceeds will be distributed according to the partnership agreements. The following is a summary of Investments in Local Limited Partnerships at September 30, 1998:
Capital Contributions paid to Local Limited Partnerships $ 29,264,859 Cumulative equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships (5,979,228) Cumulative cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships (170,354) Investment in Local Limited Partnerships before adjustment 23,115,277 Excess of investment cost over the underlying net assets acquired: Acquisition fees and expenses 1,048,010 Accumulated amortization of acquisition fees and expenses (95,918) ------------- Investment in Local Limited Partnerships $ 24,067,369 =============
The Fund's share of net losses of the Local Limited Partnerships for the six months ended September 30, 1998 is $930,339. BOSTON FINANCIAL TAX CREDIT FUND VIII (A Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) 2. Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Standard In June, 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". The Statement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, requires that the Fund display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the period in its financial statements. The Fund adopted the new standard effective April 1, 1998. BOSTON FINANCIAL TAX CREDIT FUND VIII (A Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 1998, the Fund had cash and cash equivalents of $191,248 as compared to $213,966 at March 31, 1998. This decrease is attributable to purchases of marketable securities in excess of proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities and cash used for operations. These decreases are offset by cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships. As of September 30, 1998, approximately $1,387,000 of marketable securities has been designated as Reserves. The Reserves are established to be used for working capital of the Fund and contingencies related to the ownership of Local Limited Partnership interests. Management believes that the interest income earned on Reserves, along with cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships, to the extent available, will be sufficient to fund the Fund's ongoing operations. Reserves may be used to fund operating deficits, if the General Partner deems funding appropriate. Since the Fund invests as a limited partner, the Fund has no contractual duty to provide additional funds to Local Limited Partnerships beyond its specified investment. Thus, as of September 30, 1998, the Fund had no contractual or other obligation to any Local Limited Partnership, which had not been paid or provided for, except as disclosed above. In the event a Local Limited Partnership encounters operating difficulties requiring additional funds, the Fund might deem it in its best interest to voluntarily provide such funds, in order to protect its investment. No such event has occurred to date. Cash Distributions No cash distributions were made during the period ended September 30, 1998. It is expected that cash available for distribution, if any, will not be significant in fiscal year 1999. As funds from temporary investments are paid to Local Limited Partnerships, interest earnings on those funds decrease. In addition, some of the properties benefit from some type of federal or state subsidy, and as a consequence, are subject to restrictions on cash distributions. Results of Operations For the six months ended September 30, 1998, the Fund's operations resulted in a net loss of $1,059,951, as compared to $1,082,165 for the six months ended September 30, 1997. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to a decrease in general and administrative expenses. Property Discussions The Fund is invested in ten Local Limited Partnerships which own ten properties located in eight states. Two properties, representing 356 units, underwent rehabilitation, and eight properties, representing 1001 units, are new construction. All of the ten properties are complete, through initial lease-up and operating satisfactorily. Impact of Year 2000 The Managing General Partner has assessed the Fund's exposure to date sensitive computer software programs that may not be operative subsequent to 1999 and has executed a requisite course of action to minimize Year 2000 risk and ensure that neither significant costs nor disruption of normal business operations are encountered. However, due to the inherent uncertainty that all systems of outside vendors or other companies on which the Fund and/or Local Limited Partnerships rely will be compliant, the Fund remains susceptible to consequences of the Year 2000 issue.
