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-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 Fund's Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2003. In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, 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 of the Fund has elected to report results of the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Fund 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 about the Local Limited Partnerships that is included in the accompanying financial statements is as of June 30, 2003 and 2002. 1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships The Fund has limited partnership interests in ten 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 September 30, 2003:
Capital contributions and advances paid to Local Limited Partnerships $ 30,440,092 Cumulative equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships (15,560,040) Cumulative cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships (956,421) -------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships before adjustments 13,923,631 Excess of investment costs over the underlying assets acquired: Acquisition fees and expenses 1,048,010 Cumulative amortization of acquisition fees and expenses (245,634) ------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships before reserve for valuation 14,726,007 Reserve for valuation of investments in Local Limited Partnerships (1,487,359) ------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships $ 13,238,648 ==============
For the six months ended September 30, 2003, the Fund advanced $40,000 to one of the Local Limited Partnerships, all of which was reserved. The Fund has recorded a reserve for valuation for its investments in certain Local Limited Partnerships in order to appropriately reflect the estimated net realizable value of these investments. The Fund's share of net losses of the Local Limited Partnerships for the six months ended September 30, 2003 is $892,026. BOSTON FINANCIAL TAX CREDIT FUND VIII, 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 Fund 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 Fund believes the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Fund 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 Policies The Fund's accounting policies include those that relate to its recognition of investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting. The Fund's policy is as follows: The Fund accounts for its investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting because the Fund does not have control of 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 Fund'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 Fund'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 Fund'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 Fund 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 Fund, that distribution is recorded as income on the books of the Fund and is included in "Other Revenue" in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund 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 exists, a provision to write down the asset to fair value will be recorded in the Fund's financial statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 2003, the Fund had cash and cash equivalents of $258,374, as compared to $203,002 at March 31, 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships and proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities. These increases were partially offset by cash used for operations. The Managing General Partner initially designated 5% of the Gross Proceeds as Reserves, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The Reserves were established to be used for working capital of the Fund 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 September 30, 2003, $333,447 of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities has been designated as Reserves. To date, professional fees relating to various Property issues totaling approximately $46,000 have been paid from Reserves. In the event a Local Limited Partnership encounters operating difficulties requiring additional funds, the Fund's management might deem it in its best interest to voluntarily provide such funds in order to protect its investment. As of September 30, 2003, the Fund has advanced approximately $1,175,000 to Local Limited Partnerships to fund operating deficits. 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 Fund's ongoing operations. Reserves may be used to fund Fund operating deficits, if the Managing General Partner BOSTON FINANCIAL TAX CREDIT FUND VIII, A Limited Partnership MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) deems funding appropriate. To date, the Fund has used approximately $270,000 of Reserves to fund operations. If Reserves are not adequate to cover the Fund's operations, the Fund 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 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, 2003, the Fund 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 six months ended September 30, 2003. Results of Operations Three Month Period For the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Fund's operations resulted in a net loss of $593,605, as compared to $606,922 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to a small decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships. Six Month Period For the six months ended September 30, 2003, the Fund's operations resulted in a net loss of $1,135,815, as compared to $1,136,354 for the six months ended September 30, 2002. The Fund's net loss change was negligible, as a slight increase in provision for valuation of advances to Local Limited Partnerships was offset by a slight decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships. Portfolio Update The Fund's investment portfolio consists of limited partnership interests in ten Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns and operates a multi-family apartment complex and each of which has generated Tax Credits. Since inception, the Fund has generated Tax Credits of approximately $1,101 per Limited Partner Unit, with approximately $142, $134 and $52 of Tax Credits expected to be generated for 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. In the aggregate, actual and estimated Tax Credits will enable the Fund to meet the objectives specified in the Fund's prospectus. Properties that receive low income housing Tax Credits must remain in compliance with rent restrictions and set aside requirements for at least 15 years from the date the property is completed (the "Compliance Period"). Failure to do so would result in the recapture of a portion of the Property's Tax Credits. Between 2008 and continuing through 2009, the Compliance Period of the ten Properties in which the Fund has an interest will expire. It is unlikely that the Managing General Partner will be able to dispose of the Fund's Local Limited Partnership interests concurrently with the expiration of each Property's Compliance Period. The Fund shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up upon the disposition of the final Local Limited Partnership interest and other assets of the Fund. Investors will continue to be Limited Partners, receiving K-1s and quarterly and annual reports, until the Fund is dissolved. BOSTON FINANCIAL TAX CREDIT FUND VIII, A Limited Partnership MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Property Discussions (continued) Several of the Properties in which the Fund has an interest 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 expense loans, subordinated loans or operating escrows. However, some Properties have had persistent operating difficulties that could either: i) have an adverse impact on the Fund's liquidity; ii) result in their foreclosure; or iii) result in the Managing General Partner deeming it appropriate for the Fund to dispose of its interest in the Local Limited Partnership prior to the expiration of the Compliance Period. Also, the Managing General Partner, in the normal course of the Fund's business, may arrange for the future disposition of its interest in certain Local Limited Partnerships. The following Property discussions focus only on such Properties. As previously reported, the Local General Partner of Live Oaks Plantation, located in West Palm Beach, Florida, indicated a desire to transfer its interest in the Local Limited Partnership to a replacement Local General Partner. Accordingly, the Managing General Partner began working with the Local General Partner to identify an acceptable replacement. Negotiations to replace the Local General Partner were then delayed due to an audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The audit focused on the tax treatment of certain items, such as land improvements, impact fees, utility fees and developer fees. In April 2002, the Florida office of the IRS issued their report indicating an eligible basis reduction of approximately $1,000,000, which would reduce the amount of Tax Credits and losses generated by the Property. The Local General Partner filed an appeal of the report to the Washington D.C. office of the IRS. The appeal was successful, and during April 2003 a settlement was reached whereby the eligible basis was reduced by approximately $93,000. As a result, the Fund will have recapture and a reduction of previously taken Tax Credits that will amount to approximately $2 per Unit. Future Tax Credits will also be reduced by approximately $0.25 per Unit. Subsequent to reaching a settlement with the IRS, negotiations to replace the Local General Partner resumed. Effective June 28, 2003, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner replaced the Local General Partner. The Managing General Partner continues to seek a permanent replacement Local General Partner. As previously reported, turnover at Green Wood Apartments, located in Gallatin, Tennessee, has caused a decline in Property operations. Although the economy in Gallatin is growing, the major employers of tenants qualifying for affordable housing have had layoffs. Rents have been reduced in an effort to stabilize occupancy, but rental revenues and working capital levels have decreased. The Local General Partner has funded the operating deficits, enabling the Property to remain current on its loan obligations, but it is likely that the Fund will need to use some of its Reserves to fund the Property's operating deficits. Other Development During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, Lend Lease Real Estate Investments, Inc. sold its interest in, and association with, the General Partner and its affiliated business unit, Housing and Community Investing ("HCI"), to Municipal Mortgage and Equity, LLC ("Muni Mae"). Muni Mae is in the business of originating, servicing and investing in multi-family housing. HCI will be combined with Muni Mae's Midland subsidiary to operate under the name MMA Financial. BOSTON FINANCIAL TAX CREDIT FUND VIII, A Limited Partnership CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Controls and Procedures Based on the Fund's evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Fund's director has concluded that the Fund's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Fund 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 Fund's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
