Forward-Looking Statements

This report (including, but not limited to, the information contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”) contains forward-looking statements.  All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.  When used, statements which are not historical in nature, including those containing words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  We have based forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.  This report also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other industry data.  This data involves several assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.  We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties which are contained in this report and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness.

These forward-looking statements are subject, but not limited, to various risks and uncertainties, including those relating to:

 

current maturities of our financing arrangements and our ability to renew or refinance such financing arrangements;

 

defaults on the mortgage loans securing our mortgage revenue bonds (“MRBs”);

 

the competitive environment in which we operate;

 

risks associated with investing in multifamily, student, senior citizen residential and commercial properties, including changes in business conditions and the general economy;

 

changes in interest rates;

 

our ability to use borrowings to finance our assets;

 

local, regional, national and international economic and credit market conditions;

 

recapture of previously issued Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTCs”) in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

changes in the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Capital Fund Program (“HUD”);

 

geographic and developer concentration within the MRB portfolio held by the Partnership;

 

appropriations risk related to funding of Federal housing programs, including HUD Section 8; and

 

changes in the U.S. corporate tax code and other government regulations affecting our business.

Other risks, uncertainties and factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under the headings “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of America First Multifamily Investors, L.P.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

All references to “we,” “us,” and the “Partnership” in this document mean America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (“ATAX”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. See Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the Partnership’s report for additional details.

AMERICA FIRST MULTIFAMILY INVESTORS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

General

America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was formed on April 2, 1998, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the purpose of acquiring, holding, selling and otherwise dealing with a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds (“MRBs”) which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for affordable multifamily and student housing residential properties (collectively “Residential Properties”) and commercial properties. In addition, the Partnership may acquire interests in multifamily, student, and senior citizen residential properties (“MF Properties”) in order to position itself for future investments in MRBs issued to finance these properties or to operate the MF Property until its “highest and best use” can be determined by management.

The general partner of the Partnership is America First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Two (“AFCA 2” or “General Partner”).  The general partner of AFCA 2 is Burlington Capital LLC (“Burlington”). The Partnership has issued Beneficial Unit Certificates (“BUCs”) representing assigned limited partner interests to investors (“Unitholders”). The Partnership has also issued non-cumulative, non-voting and non-convertible Series A Preferred Units which represent limited partnership interests in the Partnership.      

 

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The “Partnership,” as used herein, includes America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated.  At September 30, 2017, the consolidated subsidiaries of the Partnership (the “Consolidated Subsidiaries”) consist of:

 

ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to hold MRBs to facilitate the Tax Exempt Bond Securitization (“TEBS”) Financing (“M24 TEBS Financing”) with Freddie Mac.

 

ATAX TEBS II, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to hold MRBs to facilitate the second TEBS Financing, (“M31 TEBS Financing”) with Freddie Mac.

 

ATAX TEBS III, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to hold MRBs to facilitate the third TEBS Financing (“M33 TEBS Financing”), with Freddie Mac.

 

ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, committed to loan money or provide equity for the development of multifamily properties.

 

Four MF Properties are owned by a wholly-owned corporation (“the Greens Hold Co”). The Greens Hold Co held a 99% limited partnership interest in the northern View MF Property until its sale in March 2017.

 

One MF Property is owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership and one MF Property is owned directly by the Partnership. 

Acquisition Accounting

Pursuant to the guidance on acquisition accounting, the Partnership allocates the contractual purchase price of a property acquired to the land, building, improvements and leases in existence as of the date of acquisition based on their relative fair values.  The building is valued as if vacant. The estimated valuation of in-place leases is calculated by applying a risk-adjusted discount rate to the projected cash flow deficit at each property during an assumed lease-up period for these properties. This allocated cost is amortized over the average remaining term of the leases and is included in the statement of operations under depreciation and amortization expense. The acquisition related costs to acquire a property are expensed as incurred.

Investment in unconsolidated entities

The Partnership makes initial investments in and is committed to invest, through ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC, in certain limited liability companies (“Vantage Properties”). ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC holds a limited membership interest in the Vantage

7


 

Properties. The investments will be used to construct multifamily properties. The Partnership does not have a controlling interest in the Vantage Properties and accounts for its limited partnership interests using the equity method of acco unting.  The Partnership earns a return on its investment that is guaranteed by an unrelated third party.  The term of third-party guarantee is from initial investment date through the second anniversary of construction completion. Due to the third-party g uarantee provided, cash flows are expected to be sufficient to pay the Partnership its earned return. As a result, the Partnership records the return on the investment earned as investment income in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of op erations.

 

Income Taxes

No provision has been made for income taxes of the Partnership because the Unitholders are required to report their share of the Partnership’s taxable income for federal and state income tax purposes, except for certain entities described below.  The Partnership recognizes franchise margin tax expense on revenues in certain jurisdictions relating to MF Properties and Investments in unconsolidated entities.

The Greens Hold Co, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, is a corporation subject to federal and state income taxes.  The Partnership will recognize income tax expense or benefit for the federal and state income taxes incurred by the Greens Hold Co on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  

The Partnership evaluates its tax positions taken in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements under the interpretation for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As such, the Partnership may recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if the Partnership believes it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities. The Partnership accrues interest and penalties as incurred within income tax expense.

Deferred income tax expense, or benefit, is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes such as depreciation, amortization of financing costs, etc.) and the utilization of tax net operating losses (“NOL”) generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets. The Partnership fully utilized its NOL carryforwards during 2016. The Partnership records a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets if it believes all, or some portion, of the deferred income tax asset may not be realized. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances that causes a change in the estimated ability to realize the related deferred income tax asset is included in deferred income tax expense.

Restricted Unit Awards (“RUAs”)

The Partnership’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as approved by the Unitholders in September 2015, permits the grant of Restricted Units and other awards to the employees of Burlington, the Partnership, or any affiliate of either, and members of Burlington’s Board of Managers for up to 3.0 million BUCs.  RUAs are generally granted with vesting conditions ranging from three months to three years. RUAs currently provide for the payment of quarterly distributions during the restriction period. The RUAs provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control or upon death or disability of the Participant. The Partnership accounts for forfeitures when they occur.  

The fair value of each RUA is estimated on the grant date based on the Partnership’s exchange-listed closing price of the BUCs. The Partnership recognizes compensation expense for the RUAs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. The Partnership will account for modifications to RUAs as they occur if the fair value of the RUAs change, there are changes to vesting conditions or the awards no longer qualify for equity classification.

Estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. These condensed

8


 

consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared consistently with the 2016 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2017, and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance s heet at December 31, 2016, was derived from audited annual financial statements, but does not contain all the footnote disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08. The ASU requires that premiums on purchased callable debt securities be amortized as a yield adjustment to the earliest call date. Previously, premiums were required to be amortized as a yield adjustment to maturity. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05. The ASU eliminates guidance specific to real estate sales in Accounting Standards Codification 360-20. As such, sales and partial sales of real estate assets will now be subject to the same derecognition model as all other nonfinancial assets. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The effective date of this guidance coincides with revenue recognition guidance. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations; Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The ASU modifies the requirements to meet the definition of a business under Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” The amendments provide a screen to determine when a set of identifiable assets and liabilities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The impact is expected to result in fewer transactions being accounted for as business combinations. The ASU is effective for the Partnership for fiscal y ears beginning after December 15, 2017 and is applied prospectively. It is expected that the new standard would reduce the number of future real estate acquisitions that will be accounted for as business combinations and, therefore, reduce the amount of acquisition costs that will be expensed.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows; Restricted Cash.” The ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for the Partnership’s annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is applied retrospectively. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230).” The ASU clarifies the presentation of cash receipts and cash payments related to certain transactions. The ASU is effective for the Partnership for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and is applied retrospectively. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on the condensed consolidated financial statements. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).” The ASU enhances the methodology of measuring expected credit losses to include the use of forward-looking information to better inform credit loss estimates. The ASU is effective for the Partnership’s annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and is applied under a modified-retrospective approach. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on the condensed consolidated financial statements.    

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The ASU requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU offers specific accounting guidance for embedded lease arrangements, lease terms and incentives, sale-leaseback agreements, and related disclosures. The ASU is effective for the Partnership’s annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership has performed a preliminary assessment of its lessor and lessee leasing arrangements. Lessor arrangements with tenants at the MF Properties are not expected to be materially impacted by adoption of the standard as substantially all leases are for terms of 12 months or less. The Partnership has four lessee arrangements for which it is assessing the quantitative and qualitative impact of the standard. The Partnership has not elected early adoption of the standard as of September 30, 2017 and is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

9


 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments Overall (Subtopic 825-10).” The ASU simplifies and clarifies the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for the Partnership’s annual an d interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Partnership continues to assess the impact of the adoption of this standard but preliminarily does not believe adoption will have a material impact on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financi al statements. 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The updated standard is a new comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. During 2016, the FASB issued ASU Nos. 2016-10, 2016-12 and 2016-20 that provide additional guidance related to the identification of performance obligations within a contract, assessing collectability, contract costs, and other technical corrections and improvements. The Partnership expects to use the modified retrospective transition method and will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. The Partnership has completed an assessment of its revenue streams and performance obligations and is currently evaluating the quantitative and qualitative impacts of the new standard on the business. The Partnership has determined that revenues within investment income, contingent interest income, other interest income are not within the scope of this standard. Furthermore, the majority of property revenues are within the scope of the Lease ASU and outside the scope of the Revenue ASU. The Partnership believes the new standard will only impact property revenues related to non-lease revenue streams and certain provisions that apply to gains on sale of real estate assets. The impact to non-lease revenue streams within the scope of this standard is immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

3. Partnership Income, Expenses and Cash Distributions

The Partnership’s Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Amended and Restated LP Agreement”) contains provisions for the distribution of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, for the allocation of income or loss from operations and for the allocation of income and loss arising from a repayment, sale, or liquidation of investments.  Income and losses will be allocated to each Unitholder on a periodic basis, as determined by the General Partner, based on the number of BUCs held by each Unitholder as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is to be made. Distributions of Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds will be made to each Unitholder of record on the last day of each distribution period based on the number of BUCs held by each Unitholder on that date. For purposes of the Amended and Restated LP Agreement, cash distributions, if any, received by the Partnership from its investment in MF Properties will be included in the Partnership’s Net Interest Income and cash distributions received by the Partnership from the sale of such properties will be included in the Partnership’s Net Residual Proceeds.

Series A Preferred Units were created pursuant to the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated LP Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which became effective on March 30, 2016. The holders of the Series A Preferred Units are entitled to distributions at a fixed rate prior to payment of distributions to other Unitholders.

 

Cash distributions are currently made on a quarterly basis. AFCA 2 can elect to make distributions on a monthly or semi-annual basis. On each distribution date, Net Interest Income is distributed 99% to the limited partners and Unitholders as a class and 1% to AFCA 2 and Net Residual Proceeds are distributed 100% to the limited partners and Unitholders as a class, except that Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest in an amount equal to 0.9% per annum of the principal amount of the MRBs on a cumulative basis (defined as Net Interest Income (Tier 2) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 2), respectively) are distributed 75% to the limited partners and Unitholders as a class and 25% to AFCA 2.

 

 

4. Net income per BUC

The Partnership has disclosed basic and diluted net income per BUC on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unvested RUAs issued under the Plan are considered participating securities. The Partnership uses the two-class method to allocate net income available to BUCs and the unvested Restricted Units. Unvested Restricted Units are included with BUCs for the calculation of diluted net income per BUC using the treasury stock method, if the treasury stock method is more dilutive than the two-class method.

 

 

5. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

The Partnership determined the TOB Trusts, Term A/B Trusts and TEBS Financings are VIEs and the Partnership is the primary beneficiary.  As such, the Partnership reports the TOB Trusts, Term A/B Trusts and TEBS Financings on a consolidated basis. The

10


 

Partnership reports the senior floating-rate participation interests (“SPEARS”) related to the TOB Trusts and the Class A Certificates for both the Term A/B Trusts and TEBS Financings as secured debt financings on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The MRBs secured by the TOB Trusts, Term A/B Trusts and TEBS Financings are reported as assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In determining the pri mary beneficiary of these specific VIEs, the Partnership considered which party has the power to control the activities of the VIEs which most significantly impact their financial performance, the risks that the entity was designed to create, and how each risk affects the VIE.  The executed agreements related to the TOB Trusts, Term A/B Trusts and TEBS Financings stipulate the Partnership has the sole right to cause the Trusts to sell the underlying assets. If they were sold, the extent to which the VIEs wi ll be exposed to gains or losses would result from decisions made by the Partnership.

Non-Consolidated VIEs

The Partnership has variable interests in certain entities that are the borrowers on the Partnership’s MRBs and/or property loans. The Partnership has no equity ownership interest in the entities, but the MRBs and property loans issued by the Partnership are considered variable interests. In addition, the Partnership’s investments in unconsolidated entities are considered variable interests. The Partnership does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of such VIEs. As a result, the Partnership is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the financial statements of these entities in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Partnership held variable interests in 21 and 20 non-consolidated VIEs at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The following table summarizes information regarding the Partnership’s variable interests in these entities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

The maximum exposure to loss for the MRBs is equal to the cost adjusted for paydowns at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The difference between a MRB’s carrying value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the maximum exposure to loss is a function of the unrealized gains or losses on the MRB. 

 

The maximum exposure to loss on the property loans at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is equal to the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest. The difference between a property loans’ carrying value and the maximum exposure is the value of loan loss allowances that have been previously recorded against the property loans.

The Partnership had the following investments in MRBs at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

The Partnership owned 100% of the Residual Participation Receipts (“LIFERs”) in three tender option bond trusts (“PHC TOB Trusts”) that contain the PHC Certificates.  The assets held by the PHC Trusts consist of custodial receipts evidencing loans made to a number of local public housing authorities.  Principal and interest on these loans are payable by the respective public housing authorities out of annual appropriations to be made to the public housing authorities by HUD under HUD’s Capital Fund Program established under the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (the “Capital Fund Program”).  The PHC Trusts have a first lien on these annual Capital Fund Program payments to secure the public housing authorities’ respective obligations to pay principal and interest on their loans.  The loans payable by the public housing authorities are not debts of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America or HUD.  Interest payable on the public housing authority debt held by the PHC Trusts is exempt from federal income taxes.  The PHC Certificates issued by each of the PHC Trusts have been rated investment grade by Standard & Poor’s.

Activity in the First Nine Months of 2017

In March 2017, the Partnership sold its 99% limited partner interest in Northern View. Gross proceeds from the sale were approximately $13.8 million. The Partnership recognized a gain on sale of approximately $7.2 million before income taxes. The gain on sale, net of income taxes, is considered Tier 2 income (See Note 3). The Partnership determined the sale did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations.

In May 2017, the Partnership closed on the sale of a parcel of land in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Partnership recognized a loss on sale of approximately $22,000, attributable to direct selling expenses.

In June 2017, the Partnership executed a listing agreement with a broker to market the Suites on Paseo MF Property for sale. The listing agreement was terminated in September 2017 and the property is no longer listed for sale at September 30, 2017.

During 2016, the Partnership executed Purchase and Sales Agreements (“PSAs”) to acquire two contiguous tracts of land in Douglas County, Nebraska. If these tracts of land are successfully acquired, they will be classified as “Land held for development.”

At September 30, 2017, the Partnership has listed the Eagle Village, Residences of DeCordova, and Residences of Weatherford MF Properties for sale. See Note 24 for additional information.

Activity in the First Nine Months of 2016

In July and June 2016, the Partnership sold the Woodland Park and Arboretum MF Properties for $15.7 million and $30.2 million, respectively. The Partnership realized gains of approximately $1.6 million and $12.4 million before income taxes, respectively. The gains on sale, net of income taxes, are considered Tier 2 income (See Note 3). The Partnership determined the sale did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations.

In March 2016, the Partnership executed an agreement to sell a parcel of land in St. Petersburg, Florida, carried at a cost of approximately $3.1 million, which is part of the Land Held for Investment and Development. The asset was evaluated for impairment and the Partnership determined the carrying value of this asset is greater than its fair market value less cost to sell and recorded an impairment expense of approximately $62,000 in the second quarter of 2016. The sale of the land closed in May 2017, as noted previously.

The Partnership’s property loans to Ashley Square, Cross Creek, and Lake Forest remain on nonaccrual status at Septembe r 30, 2017. The Partnership recognizes interest income on nonaccrual loans when cash is received, and the Partnership will reassess the property loan’s nonaccrual status. The Partnership did reverse the loan loss allowance of $55,000 on the Lake Forest pro perty loan during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

 

11. Income Tax Provision

 

The Partnership recognizes current income tax expense for federal, state, and local income taxes incurred by our taxable subsidiary, the Greens Hold Co, which owns all the MF Properties except the Suites on Paseo and Jade Park. The Partnership’s income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based on the timing of the taxable income. Deferred income tax expense is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences (i.e. depreciation, amortization of finance costs, etc.), and the utilization of net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as a deferred income tax asset.

 

The following represents income tax expense for the Greens Hold Co for the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2017 and 2016:

In April 2017, the commitment on the non-operating LOC was increased $10 million to a total commitment of $50 million.

In May 2017, the maturity date on both Bankers Trust LOCs was extended for an additional one-year term. Additionally, the commitment on the operating LOC was increased to $10 million, from $7.5 million previously.

The Partnership drew approximately $12.5 million on the Bankers Trust operating LOC in September 2017 to purchase the Montecito at Williams Ranch Apartments Series A and B MRBs. This draw has an initial maturity date in June 2018, but may be extended up to an additional 270 days, based on certain extension terms defined in the credit agreement.

The Partnership is required to make prepayments of the principal to reduce the Bankers Trust Operating LOC to zero for fifteen consecutive calendar days during each calendar quarter.  For all periods presented the Partnership has fulfilled its prepayment obligation.   In addition, the Partnership has fulfilled its fourth quarter of 2017 prepayment obligation as it maintained a zero balance in the Operating LOC for the first fifteen days of October 2017. The Partnership is in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2017.

 

14. Secured Line of Credit

In December 2016, the Partnership entered into a secured Credit Agreement of up to $20.0 million with Bankers Trust. The secured LOC was paid in full in February 2017 and is no longer available to the Partnership at September 30, 2017.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Partnership posted cash collateral (i.e. restricted cash) related to the interest rate swaps associated with specific Debt Financings. The Partnership has also posted cash collateral as contractually required under the terms of the three TEBS Financings. In addition, to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the variable rate TEBS Financings, the Partnership also entered into interest rate cap agreements (Note 17).

 

The TOB and Term A/B Trusts are subject to a Master Trust Agreement with DB that contains covenants with which the Partnership is required to comply. If the Partnership were to be out of compliance with any of these covenants, a termination event of the financing facilities would be triggered. The most restrictive covenant within the Master Trust Agreement states that cash available to distribute for the trailing twelve months must be at least two times trailing twelve-month interest expense. At September 30, 2017, the Partnership was in compliance with these covenants.

Debt Financing Activity in the First Nine Months of 2017

In August 2017, the Term A/B Trust financing for the Harmony Court Bakersfield – Series B MRB was collapsed and paid off in full. The Partnership paid approximately $1.7 million at settlement, which approximated the outstanding principal plus accrued interest.

In March 2017, the Partnership refinanced four Term A/B Trusts into new Term A/B Trusts with longer stated terms. Based on the terms of the new and old Term A/B Trusts, the refinancing was accounted for as a modification, with approximately $47,000 capitalized as deferred financing costs.

For additional details, see Note 22 to the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2017, the Partnership purchased two interest rate derivatives to roll down the effective capped rate on the M31 and M33 TEBS Financings to 1.5%. The Partnership paid approximately $139,000 and $358,000 for the interest rate derivatives, respectively.

 

In September 2017, the Partnership purchased an interest rate derivative on the M24 TEBS Financing to cap the variable interest rate at 4.0%. The Partnership paid approximately $52,000 for the interest rate derivative.

 

The Partnership has contracted for two interest rate swaps with DB. On a quarterly basis, the Partnership reassesses its interest rate swap positions. In the second quarter of 2017, the Partnership determined that due to the stabilization of the Decatur Angle and Bruton MRB properties and securitization of the related MRBs into fixed rate Term A/B Trust financings, the interest rate swaps were not needed to mitigate interest rate risk on financings related to the MRBs. The Partnership then determined that the interest rate swaps are

intended to mitigate interest rate risk for the variable rate PHC TOB Trusts. The following table summarizes the terms of the interest rate swaps at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

The Partnership’s interest rate derivatives and interest rate swaps are not designated as hedging instruments and, accordingly, they are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value are included in current period earnings as interest expense. See Note 22 for a description of the methodology and significant assumptions for determining the fair value of the interest rate derivatives and interest rate swap arrangements. The interest rate derivatives are presented within Other assets and the interest rate swap arrangements are reported as a derivative swap liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  

 

 

18. Commitments and Contingencies

The Partnership, from time to time, may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  These matters are frequently covered by insurance.  If it has been determined that a loss is probable, the estimated amount of the loss is accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Bond Purchase Commitments

As part of the Partnership’s strategy of acquiring MRBs, it will enter into bond purchase commitments related to MRBs to be issued and secured by properties under construction.  Upon satisfaction of the terms of the bond purchase commitment, the proceeds from the MRBs issued will be used to pay off the construction related debt of the underlying collateral of the MRB to be issued. The Partnership bears no construction or stabilization risk during the commitment period. The Partnership accounts for bond purchase commitments as available-for-sale securities and reports the asset or liability at fair value. Changes in the fair value of bond purchase commitments are recorded in Other comprehensive income.

Property Loan Commitments

 

ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, committed to loan approximately $17.0 million to unrelated third parties to build two new multifamily residential properties, Vantage at Brooks, LLC and Vantage at Braunfels, LLC, both located in Texas. At September 30, 2017, the Partnership’s remaining maximum commitments totaled approximately $1.1 million. See Note 10 for disclosures related to these property loans.

Other Guarantees & Commitments

In March 2017, the Partnership entered into a guaranty agreement whereby the Partnership has guaranteed payment of the construction loan of Vantage at Panama City Beach, LLC. The Partnership will only have to perform on the guarantee upon a default by Vantage at Panama City Beach, LLC. The guarantee is initially for the entire amount of the construction loan and decreases to 50% and 25% as certain debt service coverage levels are obtained by the borrower. The construction loan has a maximum available balance of $25.6 million. At September 30, 2017, there was no outstanding balance on the construction loan and the Partnership had no exposure under the guarantee. The Partnership is also required to maintain minimum cash and net worth requirements, which were met as of September 30, 2017.

Pursuant to the sale of the Greens Property in 2012, the Partnership entered into guarantee agreements with an unaffiliated entity under which the Partnership has guaranteed certain obligations of the general partner of the Greens of Pine Glen limited partnership, including an obligation to repurchase the interests of BC Partners if certain “repurchase events” occur.  Remaining potential repurchase events relate primarily to the delivery of LIHTCs, or tax credit recapture and foreclosure.  No amount has been accrued for this contingent liability because the likelihood of a repurchase event is remote.  The maximum exposure to the Partnership at September 30, 2017, under the guarantee provision of the repurchase clause is approximately $2.8 million and represents 75% of the equity contributed by BC Partners. The term of the guarantee agreement ends in 2027.

Pursuant to the Ohio Properties transaction in 2011, the Partnership entered into guarantee agreements with an unaffiliated entity under which the Partnership has guaranteed certain obligations of the general partner of these limited partnerships, including an obligation to repurchase the interests of BC Partners if certain “repurchase events” occur.  Remaining potential repurchase events relate primarily to the delivery of LIHTCs, or tax credit recapture and foreclosure.  No amount has been accrued for this contingent liability because the likelihood of a repurchase event is remote.  The maximum exposure to the Partnership at September 30, 2017, under the guarantee provision of the repurchase clause is approximately $4.4 million and represents 75% of the equity contributed by BC Partners. The term of the guarantee agreement ends in 2026.

The 50/50 MF Property has a ground lease with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with an initial lease term expiring in March 2038. There is also an option to extend the lease for an additional five-year period.  Annual lease payments are $100 per year. In conjunction with the ground lease, the 50/50 MF Property has entered into an agreement whereby it is required to make monthly payments, when cash is available at the property, to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln based on its revenues.  The minimum aggregate annual payment due under the agreement for the twelve-month period from August 1, 2017 through July 31, 2018 is approximately $127,000. The minimum aggregate annual expense increases 2% annually until July 31, 2034 and increases 3% annually thereafter.  The 50/50 MF Property may be required to make additional payments under the agreement if its gross revenues exceed certain thresholds. The agreement will terminate upon termination of the ground lease. The Partnership reported accounts payable related to this agreement of approximately $115,000 and $21,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Partnership reported expenses related to the agreement of approximately $42,000 and $126,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.  

As the holder of residual interests issued in its TOB Trust, Term A/B Trust and TEBS Financing arrangements, the Partnership is required to guarantee certain losses that can be incurred by the trusts created in connection with these financings.  These guarantees may result from a downgrade in the investment rating of PHCs held by the trust or of the senior securities issued by the trust, a ratings downgrade of the liquidity provider for the trust, increases in short term interest rates beyond pre-set maximums, an inability to re-market the senior securities or an inability to obtain liquidity for the trust. In the case of the TEBS, Freddie Mac will step in first on an immediate basis and the Partnership will have 10 to 14 days to remedy. If the Partnership does not remedy, the trust will be collapsed.  If such an event occurs, the trust collateral may be sold and if the proceeds are not sufficient to pay the principal amount of the senior securities plus accrued interest and other trust expenses, the Partnership will be required to fund any such shortfall pursuant to its guarantee. If the Partnership does not fund the shortfall, the default and liquidation provisions will be invoked against the Partnership. In the event of a shortfall the maximum exposure to loss would be approximately $599.3 million prior to the consideration of the proceeds from the sale of the trust collateral. The Partnership has never been, and does not expect in the future, to be required to reimburse the financing facilities for any shortfall.

19. Redeemable Series A Preferred Units

 

The Partnership has issued non-cumulative, non-voting, non-convertible Series A Preferred Units via private placements to four financial institutions. The Series A Preferred Units are redeemable in the future and represent limited partnership interests in the Partnership. The Partnership issued 2.0 million Series A Preferred Units to a financial institution during the three months ended September 30, 2017, in a private placement.

20. Restricted Unit Awards (“RUAs”)

The Partnership’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”), as approved by the Unitholders, permits the grant of Restricted Units and other awards to the employees of Burlington, the Partnership, or any affiliate of either, and members of Burlington’s Board of Managers for up to 3.0 million BUCs. RUAs are generally granted with vesting conditions ranging from three months to approximately three years. RUAs currently provide for the payment of quarterly distributions during the vesting period. The RUA’s provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control or death or disability of the Participant.

The fair value of each RUA is estimated on the grant date based on the Partnership’s exchange-listed closing price of the BUCs. The Partnership recognizes compensation expense for the RUAs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. The compensation expense for RUAs totaled approximately $550,000 and $1,160,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The compensation expense for RUAs totaled approximately $31,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The following table represents nonvested Restricted Units at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

21. Transactions with Related Parties

The General Partner of the Partnership, AFCA 2, is entitled to receive an administrative fee from the Partnership equal to 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of any of its MRBs, property loans collateralized by real property, and other investments for which the owner of the financed property or other third party is not obligated to pay such administrative fee directly to AFCA 2.  The Partnership paid or accrued administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $909,000 and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Partnership paid or accrued administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $682,000 and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. In addition to the administrative fees paid directly by the Partnership, AFCA 2 receives administrative fees directly from the owners of properties financed by certain of the MRBs held by the Partnership.  These administrative fees also equal 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of these MRBs and totaled approximately $22,000 and $74,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Such administrative fees totaled approximately $25,000 and $74,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

29


 

AFCA 2 earns placement fees in connection with the acquisition of certain MRBs, equity investments in unconsolidated entities and select property loans.  These placement fees were paid by the owners of the respec tive properties and, accordingly, have not been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements because these properties are not considered consolidated VIEs or related parties.  AFCA 2 earned placement fees of approximately $125, 000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. AFCA 2 earned placement fees of approximately $ 687,000 and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. In addition, AFCA 2 received a one-ti me $125,000 negotiated mortgage placement fee related to work performed for a transaction that did not materialize during the second quarter of 2016.   

An affiliate of AFCA 2, Burlington Capital Properties, LLC (f/k/a America First Properties Management Company, LLC) (“Properties Management”) provided property management services for the MF Properties (excluding Suites on Paseo) and seven of the properties collateralizing MRBs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Properties Management earned management fees related to the MF Properties of approximately $94,000 and $299,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  Properties Management earned management fees related to the MF Properties of approximately $141,000 and $541,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. For MF Properties, the property management fees are reflected as real estate operating expenses on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the seven properties collateralizing MRBs, the property management fees are not Partnership expenses, but are paid in each case by the owner of the Residential Properties. These property management fees are paid out of the revenues generated by the respective property prior to the payment of debt service on the Partnership's MRBs and property loans, if applicable.

An affiliate of AFCA 2, Farnam Capital Advisors, LLC (“Farnam Cap”), acts as an origination advisor and consultant to the borrowers when MRBs, Investments in unconsolidated entities, select notes receivable, and financing facilities are acquired by the Partnership. The borrowers paid origination fees of approximately $62,000 and $331,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The borrowers paid origination fees of approximately $343,000 and $537,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. These origination fees were paid by the borrower and since they are not Partnership expenses, they have not been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Partnership paid consulting fees to the affiliate of zero and approximately $921,000 for services related to the origination of Term A/B Trusts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Partnership paid consulting fees to Farnam Cap of approximately $1.2 million for services related to origination of the Term A/B Trusts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

An affiliate of AFCA 2, Burlington Capital Construction Services, LLC, is the general contractor for certain exterior rehabilitation services for the Jade Park MF Property commencing in June 2017.  The contracted services are expected to be completed by the end of 2017. The Partnership paid approximately $6,000 for services under the contract during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.   

 

 

22. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Current accounting guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides for expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  The guidance:

 

Defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and

 

Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.  To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liabilities.

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

30


 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Investments in MRBs and Bond Purchase Commitments.   The fair value of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs and mortgage bond purchase commitments at September 30, 2017 is based upon prices obtained from a third-party pricing service, which are indicative of market prices. There is no active trading market for the MRBs and price quotes for the MRBs are not available. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. It considers the underlying characteristics of each MRB as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, legal structure of the borrower, seniority to other obligations, operating results of the underlying property, geographic location, and property quality. The MRB values are then estimated using a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analysis. The Partnership evaluates pricing data received from the third-party pricing service, including consideration of current market interest rates, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the underlying collateral, and other information from either the third-party pricing service or public sources. The fair value estimates of these MRBs are based largely on unobservable inputs the believed to be used by market participants and requires the use of judgment on the part of the third-party pricing service and management. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs and mortgage bond purchase commitments are categorized as a Level 3 input. At September 30, 2017, the range of effective yields on the individual MRBs was 2.6% to 9.9% per annum.

Prior to the second quarter of 2017, the fair value of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs and mortgage bond purchase commitments were based on a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity analysis performed by the Partnership. If available, the Partnership considered price quotes on similar MRBs or other information from external sources, such as pricing services.  The estimates of the fair values of these MRBs, whether estimated by the Partnership or based on external sources, were based largely on unobservable inputs the Partnership believed would be used by market participants.  Additionally, the calculation methodology used by the external sources and the Partnership encompassed the use of judgment in its application. To validate changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs between reporting periods, the Partnership looked at the key inputs such as changes in the ‘A’ rated municipal bond rates on similar MRBs as well as changes in the operating performance of the underlying property serving as collateral for each MRB.  The Partnership validated that the changes in the estimated fair value of the MRBs move with the changes in these monitored factors.  Given these facts, the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investment in MRBs was categorized as a Level 3 input. At December 31, 2016, the range of effective yields on the individual MRBs was 4.9% to 12.4% per annum.

Investments in Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates.   The fair value of the Partnership’s investment in PHC Certificates at September 30, 2017 is based upon prices obtained from a third-party pricing service, which are indicative of market prices. There is no active trading market for the trusts’ certificates owned by the Partnership. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. It considers the underlying characteristics of each PHC Trust as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, security ratings from rating agencies, the impact of potential political and regulatory change, and other inputs. During the second quarter of 2017, the Partnership analyzed pricing data received from the third-party pricing service by comparing it to the Partnership’s internal valuation methodology. The Partnership’s internal valuation methodology utilized the current market yield rate for a “AAA” rated tax-free municipal bond for a term consistent with the weighted-average life of each of the Public Housing Capital Fund trusts, adjusted largely for unobservable inputs the Partnership believes would be used by market participants. During the third quarter of 2017, the Partnership continued to utilize the third-party pricing service to obtain prices, which are indicative of market prices, for its PHC Certificates. The Partnership engaged a second third-party pricing service whose methodology was consistent with the Partnership’s internal valuation methodology and is utilized by the Partnership to confirm the values developed by its primary third-party pricing service. As such, the Partnership did not utilize its internal methodology to price the PHC Certificates. The Partnership reviews the inputs used by the primary third-party pricing service by reviewing source information and reviews the methodology for reasonableness. The valuation methodologies used by the third-party pricing services and the Partnership encompass the use of judgment in their application. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investment in PHC Certificates is categorized as a Level 3 input.

The fair value of the Partnership’s investment in PHC Certificates at December 31, 2016 was based on a yield to maturity analysis performed by the Partnership. The Partnership’s valuation methodology begins with the current market yield rate for a “AAA” rated tax-free municipal bond for a term consistent with the weighted-average life of each of the Public Housing Capital Fund trusts, adjusted largely for unobservable inputs the Partnership believes would be used by market participants. The Partnership validates that the changes in the estimated fair value of PHC Certificates move with the changes in the market yield rates of investment grade rated mortgage revenue municipal bonds with terms of similar length. Given these facts, the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investment in PHC Certificates is categorized as a Level 3 input.  At December 31, 2016, the range of effective yields on the PHC Certificates was 4.3% to 6.0% per annum.

Tax able Bonds. The fair value of the Partnership’s taxable bonds at September 30, 2017 is based upon prices obtained from a third-party pricing service, which are indicative of market prices. There is no active trading market for the taxable bonds and price q uotes are not available.  The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. It considers the underlying characteristics of each taxable bond as well as other quantitative and qualit ative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, legal structure of the borrower, subordinate to other obligations, operating results of the underlying property, geographic location, and property quality. The taxable bonds values are then estimated using a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analysis. The Partnership evaluates pricing data received from the third-party pricing service, including consideration of current market interest rates, quantitative and qualit ative characteristics of the underlying collateral, and other information from either the third-party pricing service or public sources. The fair value estimates of these taxable bonds are based largely on unobservable inputs believed to be used by market participants and requires the use of judgment on the part of the third-party pricing service and management. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investments in taxable bonds is categorized as a Level 3 input.

Prior to the second quarter of 2017, the fair values of the Partnership’s investments in taxable bonds were based on a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity analysis performed by the Partnership. There is no active trading market for the taxable bonds and price quotes are not available. The estimates of the fair values of these taxable bonds, whether estimated by the Partnership or based on external sources, were based largely on unobservable inputs the Partnership believed would be used by market participants.  Additionally, the calculation methodology used by the external sources and the Partnership encompassed the use of judgment in its application. To validate changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s investments in taxable bonds between reporting periods, management looked at the key inputs such as changes in the current market yields on similar bonds as well as changes in the operating performance of the underlying property serving as collateral for each bond.  The Partnership validated that the changes in the estimated fair value of the taxable bonds moved with the changes in these monitored factors.  Given these facts the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investment in taxable bonds was categorized as a Level 3 input.

Interest Rate Derivatives.   The effect of the Partnership’s interest rate derivatives is to set a cap, or upper limit, on the base rate of interest paid on the Partnership’s variable rate debt equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement.   The effect of the Partnership’s interest rate swaps is to change a variable rate debt obligation to a fixed rate for that portion of the debt equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement.  The fair value of the interest rate derivatives is based on a model whose inputs are not observable and therefore is categorized as a Level 3 input.  The inputs in the valuation model include three-month LIBOR rates, unobservable adjustments to account for the SIFMA index, as well as any recent interest rate cap trades with similar terms.

Total gains and losses included in earnings for the periods shown above are included in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as interest expense.

The Partnership estimates the fair value of each financial liability using a discounted cash flow model based on the debt amortization schedules and the effective rate of interest for each period presented.  This estimate of fair value is based on Level 3 inputs.  The TEBS and variable-rate TOB debt financings are credit enhanced by Freddie Mac and DB, respectively. The table below represents the fair value of the financial liabilities held on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

23. Segments

 

The Partnership has four reportable segments, Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments, MF Properties, Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, and Other Investments.  In addition to the four reportable segments, the Partnership also separately reports its consolidation and elimination information because it does not allocate certain items to the segments.  In January 2016, the Partnership sold its three remaining MBS Securities and eliminated this operating segment.

The Amended and Restated LP Agreement authorizes the Partnership to make investments in tax-exempt securities other than in MRBs provided that the tax-exempt investments are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a national securities rating agency. The Amended and Restated LP Agreement also allows the Partnership to invest in other securities whose interest may be taxable for federal income tax purposes. Total tax-exempt and other investments cannot exceed 25% of the Partnership’s total assets at the time of acquisition as required under the Amended and Restated LP Agreement.  In addition, the amount of other investments is limited based on the conditions to the exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  The Partnership’s tax-exempt and other investments include PHC Certificates, MBS Securities, and Other Investments, which are reported as three separate segments.

 

35


 

Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments Segment

The Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments segment consists of the Partnership’s portfolio of MRBs and related property loans which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for Residential Properties and commercial properties in their market areas.  Such MRBs are held as investments and the related property loans, net of loan loss, are reported as such on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.  At September 30, 2017, the Partnership held 91 MRBs. The Residential Properties financed by MRBs contain a total of 10,788 rental units. In addition, one bond (Pro Nova 2014-1) is collateralized by commercial real estate. All general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations are reported within this operating segment.

 

Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Segment

The Public Housing Capital Fund Trust segment consists of the assets, liabilities, and related income and expenses of the Partnership’s PHC Certificates (see Note 7).

 

MF Properties Segment

The MF Properties segment consists of multifamily, student housing, and senior citizen residential properties held by the Partnership. During the time the Partnership holds an interest in an MF Property, any net rental income generated by the MF Properties in excess of debt service will be available for distribution to the Partnership in accordance with its interest in the MF Property.  At September 30, 2017, the segment includes the six MF Properties comprised of a total of 1,710 rental units. Income tax expense for the Greens Hold Co is reported within this segment.

 

Other Investments Segment

The Other investments segment consists of the operations of ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC, which is invested in unconsolidated entities (Note 9) and has issued property loans due from Vantage at Brooks LLC and Vantage at Braunfels LLC (Note 10).

24. Subsequent Events

In October 2017, the owner of the Vantage at Harlingen property that collateralizes the Partnership’s MRBs closed on the sale of the property to an unrelated third party. At closing, the Partnership received the outstanding principal on the outstanding Series B and Series D MRBs, accrued interest and other fees from the borrower. The Partnership also settled approximately $19.5 million of the M33 TEBS Financing concurrent with the settlement of the MRBs.

37


 

In October 2017, the Partnership executed Commercial Purchase Agreements to sell the Eagle Village , Residences at DeCordova and Residences at Weatherford MF Properties to unrelated third parties.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results o f Operations.

In Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the “Partnership” refers to America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. and its Consolidated Subsidiaries at September 30, 2017. See Note 2 and Note 5 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further disclosure.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Partnership’s critical accounting policies are the same as those described in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, except for certain policies regarding the fair value of financial instruments. The Partnership’s updated fair value of financial instruments policy is as follows:

Current accounting guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides for expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  The guidance:

 

Defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and

 

Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.  To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liabilities.

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Investments in MRBs and Bond Purchase Commitments.   The fair value of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs and mortgage bond purchase commitments is based upon prices obtained from a third-party pricing service, which are indicative of market prices. There is no active trading market for the MRBs and price quotes for the MRBs are not available. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. It considers the underlying characteristics of each MRB as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, legal structure of the borrower, seniority to other obligations, operating results of the underlying property, geographic location, and property quality. The MRB values are then estimated using a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analysis. The Partnership evaluates pricing data received from the third-party pricing service, including consideration of current market interest rates, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the underlying collateral, and other information from either the third-party pricing service or public sources. The fair value estimates of these MRBs are based largely on unobservable inputs the believed to be used by market participants and requires the use of judgment on the part of the third-party pricing service and management. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs and mortgage bond purchase commitments are categorized as a Level 3 input.

Investments in Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates.   The fair value of the Partnership’s investment in PHC Certificates is based upon prices obtained from a third-party pricing service, which are indicative of market prices. There is no active trading market for the trusts’ certificates owned by the Partnership. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. It considers the underlying characteristics of each PHC Trust as well as other

39


 

quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, security ratings from rating agencies, the impact of potential political and regulatory change, and other i nputs.  During the third quarter of 2017, the Partnership continued to utilize the third-party pricing service to obtain prices, which are indicative of market prices, for its PHC Certificates. The Partnership engaged a second third-party pricing service w hose methodology was consistent with the Partnership’s internal valuation methodology and is utilized by the Partnership to confirm the values developed by its primary third-party pricing service. As such, the Partnership did not utilize its internal metho dology to price the PHC Certificates. The Partnership reviews the inputs used by the primary third-party pricing service by reviewing source information and reviews the methodology for reasonableness. The valuation methodologies used by the third-party pri cing services and the Partnership encompass the use of judgment in their application. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investment in PHC Certificates is categorized as a Level 3 input.

Taxable Bonds. The fair value of the Partnership’s taxable bonds is based upon prices obtained from a third-party pricing service, which are indicative of market prices. There is no active trading market for the taxable bonds and price quotes are not available. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. It considers the underlying characteristics of each taxable bond as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, legal structure of the borrower, subordinate to other obligations, operating results of the underlying property, geographic location, and property quality. The taxable bonds values are then estimated using a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analysis. The Partnership evaluates pricing data received from the third-party pricing service, including consideration of current market interest rates, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the underlying collateral, and other information from either the third-party pricing service or public sources. The fair value estimates of these taxable bonds are based largely on unobservable inputs believed to be used by market participants and requires the use of judgment on the part of the third-party pricing service and management. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investments in taxable bonds is categorized as a Level 3 input.

Interest Rate Derivatives.   The effect of the Partnership’s interest rate derivatives is to set a cap, or upper limit, on the base rate of interest paid on the Partnership’s variable rate debt equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement.   The effect of the Partnership’s interest rate swaps is to change a variable rate debt obligation to a fixed rate for that portion of the debt equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement.  The fair value of the interest rate derivatives is based on a model whose inputs are not observable and therefore is categorized as a Level 3 input.  The inputs in the valuation model include three-month LIBOR rates, unobservable adjustments to account for the SIFMA index, as well as any recent interest rate cap trades with similar terms.

Financial Liabilities. The Partnership estimates the fair value of each financial liability using a discounted cash flow model based on the debt amortization schedules and the effective rate of interest for each period presented.  This estimate of fair value is based on Level 3 inputs.

 

 

Executive Summary

The Partnership was formed for the primary purpose of acquiring a portfolio of MRBs that are issued by state and local housing authorities to provide construction and/or permanent financing for affordable multifamily and student housing (collectively “Residential Properties”) and commercial properties in their market areas. We expect and believe the interest received on these bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. We may also invest in other types of securities that may or may not be secured by real estate to the extent allowed by the Amended and Restated LP Agreement of the Partnership. We may acquire interests in MF Properties in order to position ourselves for future investments in bonds issued to finance these properties and which we expect and believe will generate tax-exempt interest.

At September 30, 2017, the Partnership has four reportable segments: (1) Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments, (2) MF Properties, (3) Public Housing Capital Fund Trust, and (4) Other Investments. In the first quarter of 2016, the Partnership sold its remaining three mortgage-backed securities (“MBS Securities”). The sale of the Partnership’s MBS Securities eliminated the MBS Securities Investment reportable segment. In addition to the reportable segments, the Partnership also separately reports its consolidation and elimination information because it does not allocate certain items to the segments.  See Notes 2 and 23 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

The increase in total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to an increase of approximately $2.6 million in recurring investment income from MRBs purchased during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017, offset by a decrease of approximately $89,000 in recurring investment income due to MRB principal payments received, sales and redemptions during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017. The increase in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to an increase of approximately $7.4 million in recurring investment income from MRBs purchased during the fourth quarter 2016 and during 2017, offset by a decrease of approximately $652,000 in recurring investment income due to MRB principal payments received, sales and redemptions during the fourth quarter 2016 and during 2017.

 

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is attributable to changes in the average interest rate and increased borrowings. Interest expense increased by approximately $1.4 million due to an increase of approximately 102 basis points in the average interest rate. Interest expense increased by approximately $868,000 due to an increase of approximately $147.9 million in average principal outstanding, specifically with Term A/B Trusts. These increases are offset by a decrease of approximately $201,000 related to fair value adjustments for interest rate derivatives. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is attributable to changes in the average interest rate and increased borrowings. Interest expense increased by approximately $2.9 million due to an increase of approximately 71 basis points in the average interest rate. Interest expense increased by approximately $2.6 million due to an increase of approximately $125.5 million in average principal outstanding, specifically with Term A/B Trusts. These increases are offset by a decrease of approximately $1.0 million related to fair value adjustments for interest rate derivatives.

 

The decrease in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the changes in total revenues and interest expense above, an increase of approximately $424,000 in salaries and RUA expense, and an increase in investment administration fees of $227,000 due to additional investments made in 2016 and 2017. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the changes in total revenues and interest expense above, offset by an increase of approximately $989,000 in salaries and RUA expense, and an increase in investment administration fees of $649,000 due to additional investments made in 2016 and 2017.

The slight decrease in total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 is the result of principal reductions of the PHC Certificates during 2016 and 2017. The increase in total interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 is the result of rising interest rates during 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, offset by reductions in principal outstanding.

 

MF Properties Segment

 

The Partnership’s strategy has been to acquire ownership positions in MF Properties while assessing the viability of restructuring the property ownership through a sale of the MF Properties.

At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries owned six and eight MF Properties, respectively, which contain a total of 1,710 and 2,217 rental units, respectively.

 

The decrease in total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to a decrease of approximately $497,000 from the sales of the Arboretum and Woodland Park in 2016 and the sale of Northern View in March 2017, offset by an increase of approximately $355,000 from the acquisition of Jade Park in September 2016. The decrease in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to a decrease of approximately $3.6 million from the sales of the Arboretum, Woodland Park and Northern View, a decrease of approximately $570,000 from declining occupancy at the 50/50 MF Property, and an increase of approximately $1.0 million from the acquisition of Jade Park in September 2016.

 

Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 consists primarily of a $ 7.2 million gain on sale of Northern View in March 2017. Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 consists of the gain on sale of Woodland Park in July 2016. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 consists of the gain on sale of the Arboretum in June 2016 and Woodland Park in July 2016.

 

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 is due primarily to an increase in the average interest rate on mortgages payable. The decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 is due primarily to lower principal balances because of contractual principal payments and settlement of mortgages payable at the Arboretum, Woodland Park and Northern View upon sale.

 

The decrease in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 is due primarily to the change in gain on sale of real estate assets, net of related income tax expenses.

 

At September 30, 2017, Properties Management, an affiliate of AFCA 2, provided property management services for five of the MF Properties and seven of the properties collateralized by the MRBs.  Management believes this relationship provides greater insight and understanding of the underlying property operations and their ability to meet the Partnership’s debt service requirements.

Other Investments Segment

 

The Other Investments segment consists of the operations of ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC, which holds noncontrolling equity investments in certain multifamily projects and has issued property loans due from multifamily projects.

The increase in total revenues and net income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to same period in 2016 is due to an increase of approximately $616,000 from income on investments in unconsolidated entities due to additional equity contributions made during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017, and an increase of approximately $36,000 in interest income from property loans due to additional principal advances during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017. The increase in total revenues and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to same period in 2016 are due to an increase of approximately $1.9 million from income on investments in unconsolidated entities due to additional equity contributions made during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017, and an increase of approximately $171,000 in interest income from property loans due to additional principal advances during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017.

Former MBS Securities Investments Segment

 

In January 2016, the Partnership sold its three remaining MBS Securities and collapsed the related MBS TOB Trusts and paid all obligations in full using proceeds from the sale. The sale of the Partnership’s remaining MBS Securities eliminated the MBS Securities Investments segment in the first quarter of 2016.

Discussion of the Residential Properties Securing our Mortgage Revenue Bond Holdings and MF Properties

 

The following tables outline certain information regarding the Residential Properties on which the Partnership holds MRBs as investments and the MF Properties.   

Non-Consolidated Properties - Stabilized

The owners of the following properties either do not meet the definition of a VIE and/or the Partnership has evaluated and determined it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  As a result, the Partnership does not report the assets, liabilities and results of operations of these properties on a consolidated basis.  At September 30, 2017, these Residential Properties have met the stabilization criteria (see footnote 3 below the table). Debt service on the Partnership’s bonds for the non-consolidated stabilized properties was current at September 30, 2017.

Physical occupancy is defined as the total number of units occupied divided by total units at the date of measurement.

(2)

Economic occupancy is defined as the net rental income received divided by the maximum amount of rental income expected based on market conditions to be derived from each property. This statistic is r eflective of rental concessions, delinquent rents and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units. Physical occupancy is a point in time measure while economic occupancy is a measurement over the period presented. Therefore, economic occupancy for a period may exceed the actual occupancy at any point in time.

(3)

A property is considered stabilized once it reaches 90% occupancy for 90 days and an achievement of 1.15 times debt service coverage ratio on amortizing debt service for a period after construction completion or completion of the rehabilitation.

(4)

The Partnership holds approximately $17.7 million of MRBs secured by Crescent Village, Willow Bend and Postwoods (Ohio Properties).  Crescent Village is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, Willow Bend is located in Columbus (Hilliard), Ohio and Postwoods is located in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

(5)

Newly stabilized properties.  Previous period results are not available.

(6)

The physical and economic occupancy amounts for the property are based on the latest available financial information, which is as of June 30, 2017.

Overall physical occupancy for the stabilized Residential Properties is consistent at September 30, 2017 as compared to September 30, 2016.

Overall economic occupancy increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase is due primarily to the stabilization of Bruton Apartments and Decatur Angle during the latter half of 2016 when significant progress was made on renovations at each property. Economic occupancy also increased due to the addition of 15 West in the fourth quarter of 2016, which has higher economic occupancy than the average of the portfolio.

 

Non-Consolidated Properties - Not Stabilized

The owners of the following properties do not meet the definition of a VIE and/or the Partnership has evaluated and determined it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  As a result, the Partnership does not report the assets, liabilities and results of operations of these properties on a consolidated basis.  At September 30, 2017, these Residential Properties have not met the stabilization criteria (see footnote 3 below the table). Debt service on the Partnership’s bonds for the non-consolidated non-stabilized properties was current at September 30, 2017.

During the third quarter of 2017, these properties were under construction or renovation.  As such, these properties are not considered stabilized as they have not met the criteria for stabilization. Stabilization is generally defined as 90% occupancy for 90 days and an achievement of 1.15 times debt service coverage ratio on amortizing debt service for a period after construction completion or completion of the rehabilitation.

(4)

Previous period occupancy numbers are not available as these are new investments subsequent to the third quarter of 2016.

 

47


 

Physical and economic occupancy increased in the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase is primar ily due to the addition of non-stabilized Residential Properties with high occupancy in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. These new Residential Properties are scheduled for major rehabilitations and may show a decline in physical an d economic occupancy until the rehabilitations are completed. There is no comparable data for such new non-stabilized Residential Properties in the first nine month of 2016 since they were either under significant renovations or were new investments.

 

MF Properties

The MF Properties are owned by the Partnership and the Greens Hold Co. We own two MF Properties directly and the remaining MF Properties are wholly-owned by the Greens Hold Co.  The properties are encumbered by mortgage loans and other secured financing with an aggregate net principal balance of $50.6 million at September 30, 2017.  We report the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of these properties on a consolidated basis.  At September 30, 2017, all the MF Properties have met the stabilization criteria (see footnote 3 below the table). Debt service on our mortgages payable and other secured financing was current at September 30, 2017.

A property is considered stabilized once it reaches 90% occupancy for 90 days and an achievement of 1.15 times debt service coverage ratio on amortizing debt service for all MF Properties that are not student housing residential properties. Suites on Paseo, Eagle Village and the 50/50 MF Property are student housing residential properties.

(4)

Previous period occupancy numbers are not available as the property was acquired on September 30, 2016.

Physical occupancy increased at September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 due to increases at Eagle Village and The 50/50 MF Property. Such increases are the result of marketing and pricing plans implemented by Property Management to increase occupancy for the fall 2017 semester.

Economic occupancy decreased in the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 due lower occupancy at The 50/50 MF Property. Economic occupancy was lower at The 50/50 MF Property during the first nine months due to occupancy declines noted in prior quarters. As physical occupancy at The 50/50 MF Property has improved at September 30, 2017, we expect economic occupancy to improve as the property operates at higher occupancy in the coming quarters.

Discussion of the Total Revenues and Other Income for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

 

Property revenues.   The decrease in property revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the following factors:

 

A decrease of approximately $497,000 from the sales of the Arboretum and Woodland Park in June and July 2016, respectively, and the sale of Northern View in March 2017; and

 

An increase of approximately $355,000 from the acquisition of Jade Park in September 2016.

 

Investment income.    Investment income includes interest earned on MRBs, PHC Certificates, MBS Securities (for 2016 only) and other equity investments.  The increase in investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the following factors:

 

An increase of approximately $2.6 million in recurring investment income from MRBs purchased during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017;

 

An increase of approximately $617,000 from income on investments in unconsolidated entities due to additional equity contributions made during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017; and

 

A decrease of approximately $83,000 in recurring investment income due to MRB principal payments received, sales and redemptions during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017.

 

Contingent interest income. There was no contingent interest income received for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, contingent interest income was received from available excess cash at Ashley Square.

 

Other interest income. Other interest income is comprised primarily of interest income on property loans. The increase in other interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily due to an increase of approximately $46,000 in interest income from loans to Vantage at Brooks, Vantage at New Braunfels, and the Winston Group for additional advances during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017.

 

Gain (loss) on sale of real estate assets.   The was no gain (loss) on sale reported for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The gain reported for the three months ended September 30, 2016, is from the sale of Woodland Park in July 2016.

Discussion of the Total Revenues and Other Income for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

 

Property revenues.   The decrease in property revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the following factors:

49


 

 

A decrease of approximately $570,000 related to low occupancy at the 50/50 MF Property; and

 

An increase of approximately $1.0 million from the acquisition of Jade Park in September 2016.

 

Investment income.    Investment income includes interest earned on MRBs, PHC Certificates, MBS Securities (for 2016 only) and other equity investments.  The increase in investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the following factors:

 

An increase of approximately $7.4 million in recurring investment income from MRBs purchased during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017;

 

An increase of approximately $1.9 million from income on investments in unconsolidated entities due to additional equity contributions made during 2016 and 2017;

 

A decrease of approximately $428,000 in recurring investment income due to MRB principal payments received, sales and redemptions during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017; and

 

A decrease of approximately $52,000 in recurring investment income due to sale of the MBS Securities in January 2016 and principal paydowns on the PHC investments during the fourth quarter of 2016 and during 2017.

 

Contingent interest income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, contingent interest income was received from available excess cash at Lake Forest. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, contingent interest income was received from available excess cash at Ashley Square.

Discussion of the Total Expenses for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Real estate operating expenses.   Real estate operating expenses are associated with the MF Properties and are comprised principally of real estate taxes, property insurance, utilities, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, and salaries and related employee expenses of on-site employees. The decrease in real estate operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the following factors:

 

A decrease of approximately $348,000 related to the sales of the Arboretum and Woodland Park during 2016 and Northern View in March 2017;

50


 

 

An increase of a pproximately $126,000 related to the acquisition of Jade Park in September 2016; and

 

An increase of approximately $129,000 related to timing of certain repairs and maintenance expense at the MF Properties.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense.   Depreciation relates entirely to the MF Properties.  Amortization consists of in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the acquisition-method of accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties.  The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the following factors:

 

A decrease of approximately $175,000 in depreciation related to the sales of the Arboretum and Woodland Park during 2016 and Northern View in 2017; and

 

An increase of approximately $110,000 in depreciation and amortization related to the acquisition of Jade Park in September 2016.

 

Amortization of deferred financing costs.   Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the related debt financing, mortgage payable or other secured financing. The increase in amortization of deferred financing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is primarily due to $154,000 additional expense related to Term A/B Trusts executed in September 2016, the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017.

 

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is attributable to the following factors:

 

An increase of approximately $1.5 million due to an increase of approximately 92 basis points in the average interest rate;

 

An increase of approximately $921,000 due to an increase of approximately $145.0 million in average principal outstanding, specifically Term A/B Trust financings; and

 

A decrease of approximately $201,000 related to fair value adjustments for interest rate derivatives.

 

General and administrative expenses.   The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is attributable to the following factors:

 

An increase of approximately $519,000 due to the issuance of restricted unit awards, which were first issued in September 2016; and

 

An increase of approximately $227,000 for administrative fees due an increase in assets owned by the Partnership.

Discussion of the Total Expenses for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Real estate operating expenses.   Real estate operating expenses are associated with the MF Properties and are comprised principally of real estate taxes, property insurance, utilities, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, and salaries and related employee expenses of on-site employees. The decrease in real estate operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the following factors:

 

A decrease of approximately $1.7 million related to the sales of the Arboretum and Woodland Park during 2016 and Northern View in March 2017; and

 

An increase of approximately $618,000 related to the acquisition of Jade Park in September 2016.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense.   Depreciation relates entirely to the MF Properties.  Amortization consists of in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the acquisition-method of accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties.  The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the following factors:

 

A decrease of approximately $1.0 million in depreciation related to the sales of the Arboretum and Woodland Park during 2016 and Northern View in 2017;

 

A decrease of approximately $614,000 in amortization at the Suites on Paseo due to the full amortization of acquired in-place leases during 2016; and

 

An increase of approximately $549,000 in depreciation and amortization related to the acquisition of Jade Park in September 2016.

51


 

 

Amortization of deferred financing costs.   Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the related debt financing, mortgage payable or other secured financing. The increase in amortization of deferred financing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due primarily to $203,000 additional expense related to the $20 million secured line of credit arrangement initiated in December 2016, and an increase of approximately $366,000 related to new Term A/B Trust financings in September 2016 and during 2017.

 

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is attributable to the following factors:

 

An increase of approximately $3.1 million due to an increase of approximately 66 basis points in the average interest rate;

 

An increase of approximately $2.3 million due to an increase of approximately $108.5 million in average principal outstanding, specifically Term A/B Trust financings; and

 

A decrease of approximately $1.0 million related to fair value adjustments for interest rate derivatives.

 

General and administrative expenses.   The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is attributable to the following factors:

 

An increase of approximately $1.1 million due to restricted unit awards, which were first issued in September 2016; and

 

An increase of approximately $631,000 for administrative fees due an increase in assets owned by the Partnership.

Discussion of the Income Tax Expense for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

 

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, the Greens Hold Co, is a corporation subject to federal and state income tax. The Greens Hold Co owns controlling equity interests in the MF Properties, except for Suites on Paseo and Jade Park. The gain on sale of Northern View in March 2017 and normal operating income of the owned MF Properties are subject to federal and state income taxes and the Partnership recorded income tax expense (benefit) of approximately ($285,000) and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The gains on sale, net of NOLs carryforwards, of the Arboretum in June 2016 and Woodland Park in July 2017 and normal operating income of the owned MF Properties are subject to federal and state income taxes and the Partnership recorded income tax expense of approximately $331,000 and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”)

 

The Partnership believes that CAD provides relevant information about the Partnership’s operations and is necessary, along with net income, for understanding its operating results.  To calculate CAD, the Partnership begins with net income and adds back non-cash expenses consisting of amortization expense related to debt financing costs and bond issuance costs, interest rate derivative expense or income, provision for loan losses, impairments on bonds and property loans, and Restricted Units compensation expense, to the Partnership’s net income (loss) as computed in accordance with GAAP, and deducts Tier 2 income (see Note 3 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements) attributable to the Partnership as defined in the Amended and Restated LP Agreement.  Net income is the GAAP measure most comparable to CAD. There is no generally accepted methodology for computing CAD, and the Partnership’s computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other companies.  Although the Partnership considers CAD to be a useful measure of the Partnership’s operating performance, CAD is a non-GAAP measure that should not be considered as an alternative to net income that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

As described in Note 3 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements, Net Interest Income representing contingent interest and Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest (Tier 2 income) will be distributed 75% to the limited partners and Unitholders as a class and 25% to the General Partner. This adjustment represents the 25% of Tier 2 income due to the General Partner.  For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Partnership did not report any Tier 2 income distributable to the General Partner. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Partnership reported Tier 2 income distributable to the General Partner of approximately $268,000 from the gain on the sale of Woodland Park and approximately $23,000 from contingent interest received from Ashley Square.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Partnership reported Tier 2 income distributable to the General Partner of approximately $1.1 million from the net gain on the sale of Northern View, approximately $55,000 from contingent interest received from Lake Forest, offset by a $5,000 loss on the sale of land in St. Petersburg, FL.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Partnership reported Tier 2 income distributable to the General Partner of approximately $2.1 million from the gain on the sale of the Arboretum, $268,000 from the gain on sale of Woodland Park, and approximately $77,000 from contingent interest received from Ashley Square.

 

There was no non-recurring CAD per unit earned by the Partnership for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership’s principal source of cash flow includes:

 

Interest income earned on MRBs;

 

Interest income earned on the PHC Certificates;

 

Excess cash flow generated by the MF Properties;

 

Excess proceeds from the sale of assets; and

 

Cash flow, net of expenses, from general Partnership operations.

Additional sources of cash flow may include:

 

Interest payments received from property loans; and

 

Contingent interest received from investments in MRBs or property loans.

53


 

Interest income is primarily comprised of fixed rate base interest payments received on our MRBs and P HC Certificates which provides consistent cash receipts throughout the year.  Certain of the MRBs may also generate payments of contingent interest to us from time to time when the underlying Residential Properties generate excess net cash flow.   For addi tional details, see the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Similarly, the economic performance of MF Properties will affect the amount of cash distributions, if any, received by the Partnership from ownership of these properties.  The economic performance of the MF Properties depends on the rental and occupancy rates of the property and on the level of operating expenses. Occupancy rates and rents are directly affected by the supply of, and demand for, apartments in the market area in which a property is located.  This, in turn, is affected by several factors such as local or national economic conditions, the amount of new apartment construction and the affordability of single-family homes.  In addition, factors such as government regulation (such as zoning laws), inflation, real estate and other taxes, labor problems, and natural disasters can affect the economic operations of an apartment property.  For discussion related to economic risk see Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Other sources of cash available to the Partnership include:

 

Operating line of credit;

 

Secured and unsecured lines of credit;

 

Debt financing;

 

Mortgages payable and other secured financings;

 

Sale of Series A Preferred Units; and

 

Sale of additional BUCs.

At September 30, 2017, the Partnership had borrowed the following amounts:

 

Debt financing, net - $594.6 million; and

 

Mortgages payable and other secured financing, net - $50.6 million.

In addition, as of September 30, 2017, the Partnership had issued 7.7 million Series A Preferred Units at a subscription price of $10.00 per unit.  We issued approximately 3.6 million Series A Preferred Units during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 for gross proceeds of approximately $36.1 million. We did not issue any BUCs during 2017 or 2016.  

Our principal uses of cash are (i) general, administrative and operating expenses, (ii) interest and principal payable on the unsecured and secured lines of credit, (iii) interest and principal payable on the debt financing and mortgages payable and other secured financing, and (iv) payment of distributions to Series A Preferred Unitholders and BUC holders.  We also use cash to acquire additional investments.

 

(i)

Payment of general, administrative, and operating expenses  

The MF Properties’ primary uses of cash were for operating expenses.  We also used cash for general and administrative expenses. For additional details, see the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in this Form 10-Q.

 

(ii)

Payment of interest and principal on unsecured and secured lines of credit  

We maintain two unsecured lines of credit: an operating and a revolving line of credit. Our operating line of credit allows for the advance of up to $10.0 million to be used for general operations. We are required to make prepayments of the principal to reduce outstanding principal balance on the operating line to zero for fifteen consecutive days during each calendar quarter. We fulfilled this requirement during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, we have fulfilled this requirement for the fourth quarter of 2017. Our $50 million revolving line of credit may be utilized for the purchase of multifamily real estate and taxable or tax-exempt MRBs. Advances on the line of credit are due on the 270 th day following the advance date, but may be extended by making certain payments for up to an additional 270 days. Our $20 million secured term line of credit was used to finance the purchase of MRBs and matured in March 2017. The secured line of credit was closed and is not available for use by the Partnership at September 30, 2017.

 

(iii)

Payment of interest and principal on debt and mortgages payable and other secured financing

Our debt financing arrangements consist of various secured financing transactions to leverage our portfolio of MRBs and other investments. The financing arrangements generally involve the securitization of MRBs and other investments into trusts whereby we retain beneficial interests in the trusts that provide certain rights to the underlying investment assets. The remaining

54


 

beneficial interests are sold to unaffiliated parties with the proceeds being received by the Partnership. The beneficial interests held by unaffiliated parties require periodic interest payments, which may be fixed or variable depending on the terms of the arrangement, and scheduled principal payments.

Our mortgages payable and other secured financing arrangements are used to leverage our MF Properties. The mortgages and other secured financing are entered into with financial institutions and are secured by security interests in the MF Properties. The mortgages and other secured financing bear interest, which may be fixed or variable depending on the terms of the arrangement, and scheduled principal payments.

We anticipate refinancing all debt financing arrangements that will mature in the fourth quarter of 2017 with similar arrangements of terms greater than one year.  

 

(iv)

Payment of distributions to the Unitholders – Series A Preferred Unit and BUC holders

Distributions to the Series A Preferred unitholders, if declared by the General Partner, will be paid at a fixed rate of 3.0% annually.  The Series A Preferred Units are non-cumulative, non-voting, non-convertible and are senior to BUC holders.  

Distributions to the BUC holders may increase or decrease at the determination of the General Partner.  The per unit distributions primarily depend on the amount of interest and other cash received by us from our portfolio of MRBs and other investments, the amount of our outstanding debt and the effective interest rates paid by us on this debt, the level of operating and other cash expenses incurred by us, and the number of units outstanding.

Leverage Ratio

We utilize leverage to enhance rates of return to our Unitholders. We use target ratios for each type of financing obligation utilized by us to manage an overall leverage constraint, as established by the Board of Managers (the “Board”) of Burlington, which is the general partner of the Partnership’s general partner. During the third quarter of 2017, the Board approved an increase in the overall leverage constraint to 75%. The amount of leverage utilized is dependent upon several factors, including the assets being leveraged, the leverage program utilized, constraints of market collateral calls and the liquidity and marketability of the underlying collateral of the asset being leveraged. We define our leverage ratio as total outstanding debt divided by total assets using the carrying value of the MRBs, PHC Certificates, initial finance costs and the MF Properties at cost. At September 30, 2017, our overall leverage ratio was approximately 66%.  

Cash Flows

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we generated $14.8 million of cash, which was the net result of approximately $13.2 million provided by operating activities, approximately $55.9 million used in investing activities, and approximately $57.6 million provided by financing activities.

 

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to two factors. First, there is a $1.3 million lower increase in interest receivable when comparing 2017 to 2016. Second, there is a $1.9 million increase in cash due to changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses when comparing 2017 to 2016.

 

Cash used in investing activities totaled $55.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $28.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is due primarily to various factors. First, there was an increase of $51.8 million of cash used for MRB acquisitions in 2017 as compared to 2016. Second, the sale of MRBs and MBS Securities in 2016 resulted in cash of $24.3 million and such sale did not reoccur in the first nine months of 2017. Third, there was a decrease in cash proceeds from the sale of MF Properties of $32.1 million as compared to 2016 due to the Arboretum and Woodland Park sales in 2016 having a higher price than the Northern View sale in 2017. These were offset by $9.9 million less cash used to acquire MF Properties, $9.3 million less investment in property loans and investments in unconsolidated entities, and $2.9 million more cash provided by changes in restricted cash balances in 2017 as compared to 2016.  

 

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $57.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The change is due primarily to a decrease in principal payments on Debt Financing of $92.3 million, a decrease in principal payments on Mortgages Payable of $16.6 million and additional proceeds from issuance of Series A Preferred units of $2.3 million in 2017 as compared to 2016. This activity was offset by a decrease of net proceeds from unsecured and secured lines of credit of $30.0 million.    

 

55


 

We believe our cash balance and cash provided by the sources discussed herein will be sufficient to pay, or refinance, our debt obligations and to meet our liquidity needs over the next 12 months.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

As discussed herein and in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the debt and mortgage obligations of the Partnership consist of scheduled principal payments on the TOB Trust and Term A/B Trust financing facilities with DB, the TEBS credit facilities with Freddie Mac, and payments on the MF Property mortgages payable and other secured financing.

 

The Partnership’s contractual obligations presented in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated by reference herein, have only changed pursuant to the executed contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as disclosed herein.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

For a discussion on recently issued accounting pronouncements, please see Note 2 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in market risk, except as discussed below, from the information provided under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 7A of the Partnership’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Mortgage Revenue Bonds and PHC Certificate Sensitivity Analysis

A third-party pricing service is used to value our MRBs starting in the second quarter of 2017. The pricing service uses a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analyses which encompasses judgment in its application.  The key assumption in the yield to maturity or call analysis is the range of effective yields of the individual MRBs.  The effective yield analysis for each MRB considers the current market yield on similar MRBs, specific terms of the MRB, and various characteristics of underlying property serving as collateral for the MRB such as debt service coverage ratio, loan to value, and other characteristics.  

We value the PHC Certificates based upon prices obtained from a third-party pricing service, which are indicative of market prices. There is no active trading market for the trusts’ certificates. The valuation methodology of our third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. It considers the underlying characteristics of each PHC Trust as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, security ratings from rating agencies, the impact of potential political and regulatory change, and other inputs. The fair value estimate by the third-party pricing service encompasses the use of judgment in its application.

We completed a sensitivity analysis which is hypothetical and is as of a specific point in time.  The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value and should be used with caution. 

The table below summarizes the sensitivity analysis metrics related to the investments in the MRBs and PHC Certificates at September 30, 2017:

Geographic Risk

The properties securing the MRBs are geographically dispersed throughout the United States with significant concentrations (geographic risk) in Texas, California, and South Carolina.  At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the geographic concentration in Texas as a percentage of the total MRB principal outstanding was approximately 49% and 45%, respectively.  At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the geographic concentration in California as a percentage of the total MRB principal

56


 

outstanding was approximately 20% for each period.   At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the geographic concentration in South Carolina as a percentage of the total MRB principal ou tstanding was approximately 11% and 12%, respectively.  After review of the properties’ economic performance in Texas, California and South Carolina as compared to general market conditions in these markets, we do not believe we are exposed to adverse risk in these markets.

Summary of Interest Rates on Borrowings and Interest Rate Cap Agreements

At September 30, 2017, the total costs of borrowing by investment type were as follows:

 

range between approximately 4.2% and 4.5% for the unsecured LOCs;

 

range between approximately 2.2% and 2.9% for the M24, M31, and M33 TEBS facilities;

 

range between approximately 4.0% and 4.4% for the TOB Trusts securitized by MRBs;

 

range between approximately 3.6% and 4.5% for the Term A/B Trusts securitized by MRBs;

 

range between approximately 3.1% and 3.2% for the PHC Trust Certificates TOB Trusts; and

 

range between approximately 3.9% and 4.8% for the MF Property mortgages and other secured financing.

For additional details, see Note 22 to the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Partnership has contracted for two interest rate swaps with DB. On a quarterly basis, the Partnership reassesses its interest rate swap positions. In the second quarter of 2017, the Partnership determined that due to the stabilization of the Decatur Angle and Bruton MRB properties and securitization of the related MRBs into fixed rate Term A/B Trust financings, the interest rate swaps were not needed to mitigate interest rate risk on financings related to the MRBs. The Partnership then determined that the interest rate swaps are intended to mitigate interest rate risk for the variable rate PHC TOB Trusts.  The following table summarizes the terms of the interest rate swaps at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

The interest rate sensitivity table (“Table”) represents the change in interest income from investments net of interest on debt and interest rate derivative expenses over the next twelve months, assuming an immediate parallel shift in the LIBOR yield curve and the resulting implied forward rates are realized as a component of this shift in the curve. Assumptions include anticipated interest rates, relationships between interest rate indices and outstanding investments, liabilities and interest rate derivative positions.  

No assurance can be made that the assumptions included in the Table presented herein will occur or that other events would not occur that would affect the outcomes of the analysis.  Furthermore, the results included in the Table assume the Partnership does not act to change its sensitivity to the movement in interest rates.  

As the above information incorporates only those material positions or exposures that existed as of September 30, 2017, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. The ultimate economic impact of these market risks will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our risk mitigating strategies at that time and the overall business and economic environment.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.   The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the  Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s current disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Partnership’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.   The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that there were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Partnership’s most recent fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Series A Preferred Units of Limited Partnership Interest

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement ”) is effective as of the date set forth on the signature page hereof (the “ Effective Date ”), between the undersigned subscriber (the “ Subscriber ”), and America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. , a Delaware limited partnership (the “ Partnership ”).

 

Recitals

 

WHEREAS, the Partnership is offering for sale 10,000,000 Series A Preferred Units of Limited Partnership Interests of the Partnership (the “ Series A Preferred Units ”) at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “ Offering ”), with a minimum investment requirements of $5,000,000 (500,000 Series A Preferred Units) per subscriber, unless otherwise approved by the General Partner in its sole discretion; and

WHEREAS, the Series A Preferred Units are being offered by the Partnership pursuant to a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated December 18, 2015 (the “ Memorandum ”); and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Memorandum.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made by the parties herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows.

Agreement

1. Subscription for Series A Preferred Units.   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as of the Effective Date the Subscriber hereby subscribes for, and the Partnership agrees to issue to the Subscriber, that number of Series A Preferred Units of the Partnership set forth on the Subscriber’s signature page hereto.

2. Series A Preferred Units Not Registered.   The Subscriber understands that an investment in the Series A Preferred Units involves a high degree of risk and it suitable only for sophisticated purchasers who have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and who are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Series A Preferred Units.  The Subscriber understands that the Series A Preferred Units have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”), or the securities, “blue sky,” or other similar law of any state, in each case in reliance upon exemptions from registration provided under the 1933 Act, including but not limited to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and Regulation D adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as specific exemptions under state securities, “blue sky,” and other similar laws.

3. Representations and Warranties.   The Subscriber understands that the Partnership is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for the exemptions set forth in Section 2 above.  Accordingly, the Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the


Partnership, and intends that the Partnership rely upon these representations and warranties for the purpose of establishing the acceptability of this Agreement, as follows:

(a) Subscriber Information.   The address of the Subscriber in the Confidential Subscriber Questionnaire accompanying this Agreement is the true and correct address of the domicile and residency of the Subscriber, and the Subscriber has no present intention of changing such address to another state or jurisdiction.  The Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Partnership if the information contained in this Agreement, the accompanying Confidential Subscriber Questionnaire, or any other document is or becomes incorrect.

(b) Investment Intent.   The Subscriber is subscribing for the Series A Preferred Units for its own account and for investment purposes only, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, in whole or in part, to anyone else.

(c) Transfer Restrictions; Liquidity.   The Subscriber acknowledges that the transferability of the Series A Preferred Units is severely limited and that the Subscriber must continue to bear the economic risk of this subscription for an indefinite period as the Series A Preferred Units have not been registered under the 1933 Act or under any other state securities laws, and therefore cannot be offered or sold unless they are subsequently registered under such acts or an exemption from such registration is available and the Subscriber has obtained an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General Partner that such registration is not required in connection with any such transaction.  The Subscriber is in such a financial condition that it has no need for liquidity with respect to a subscription in the Series A Preferred Units and no need to dispose of any portion of the Series A Preferred Units subscribed for hereby to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness.  The Subscriber hereby represents that, at the present time, the Subscriber could afford a complete loss of its subscription in the Series A Preferred Units.

(d) No Governmental Approvals of Offering.   The Subscriber understands that no federal or state governmental agency or authority has passed upon the Series A Preferred Units or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness, advisability, or merits of this subscription.

(e) Availability of Other Information.   The Subscriber acknowledges that the Partnership has made available to it and its management the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Partnership, the LP Agreement, and the Series A Preferred Units, and to obtain any additional information which the Partnership or General Partner possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense and has received any and all information requested.

(f) Independent Evaluation of Subscription.   No representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber concerning the Partnership, its business, or the Series A Preferred Units by the Partnership, the General Partner, any affiliate of the Partnership or the General Partner, or any agent, officer, or employee of any of them, or by any other person, and in entering into this Agreement the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than the results of the Subscriber’s own independent investigation and due diligence.  In this regard, the Subscriber has made its own inquiry and analysis (on its own or with the assistance of others) with respect to the Partnership and its business, the Series A Preferred Units, the LP Agreement, and other material factors affecting the Series A Preferred Units.  Based on such information and analysis, the Subscriber has been able to make an informed decision to subscribe for the Series A Preferred Units.


(g) Sophistication of Subscriber.   The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a subscription in the Series A Preferred Units.  To the extent necessary, the Subscriber

(h) No Public Market for the Series A Preferred Units.   The Subscriber understands that there is no public market for the Series A Preferred Units and such a public market is unlikely ever to develop.

(i) State of Domicile.   The Subscriber’s state of domicile, both at the time of the initial offer of the Series A Preferred Units to the Subscriber and at the present time, was and is within the state set forth in the Subscriber’s address disclosed on this Agreement below.

(j) Subscriber Status.   The Subscriber understands that the Series A Preferred Units are being offered by the Company only to the Subscriber and not to the public at large.  By executing this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby represents that the representations and warranties of the Subscriber set forth in the Confidential Subscriber Questionnaire attached to this Agreement are true and correct.

(k) Entity Representations.   The Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber’s governing instruments permit, and it is duly qualified to make, this subscription for the Series A Preferred Units and that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the LP Agreement of the Partnership have been duly authorized by all required corporate action.

(l) Tax Consequences of Subscription.   The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that there can be no assurance regarding the tax consequences of a subscription for the Series A Preferred Units, nor can there be any assurance that the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the regulations promulgated thereunder, or other applicable laws and regulations, will not be amended at some future time.  In making this subscription for the Series A Preferred Units, the Subscriber hereby represents that it is relying solely upon the advice of the Subscriber’s tax advisor with respect to the tax aspects of a subscription for the Series A Preferred Units.

(m) Anti-Money Laundering Provisions.   Neither the Subscriber nor (i) any person controlling or controlled by the Subscriber, (ii) any person having a beneficial interest in the Subscriber, or (iii) any person for whom the Subscriber is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment, is a person or entity with which the Partnership would be prohibited from engaging in a transaction under the rules and regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.    No funds the Subscriber will use for the purchase of Series A Preferred Units either now or for any future capital contributions, if any, were, and are not directly or indirectly derived from, activities that contravene U.S. federal, state, local, or international laws and regulations applicable to the Subscriber, including U.S. anti-money laundering laws and regulations.    The Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Partnership if any of the foregoing representations in this Section 3(m) cease to be true and accurate regarding the Subscriber.  The Subscriber also agrees to provide the Partnership and the General Partner with any additional information regarding the Subscriber that the Partnership or General Partner deems necessary or convenient to ensure compliance with the foregoing representations.  The Subscriber understands and agrees that if at any time it is discovered that any of the foregoing representations are incorrect, or if otherwise required by applicable law or regulation related to money laundering or similar activities, the Partnership may undertake appropriate actions to ensure compliance with applicable laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, segregation and/or redemption of the Subscriber’s investment in the Series A Preferred Units.  The Subscriber further understands that the Partnership may release confidential information about the Subscriber and, if applicable, any


underlying beneficial owners of the Subscriber, to the proper authorities if the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the best interests of the Partnership in light of the foregoing described anti-money laundering rules.

(n) No Right to Require Registration.   The Subscriber understands that the Subscriber has no right to require the Partnership to register the Series A Preferred Units under federal or state securities laws at any time.

4. Other Covenants.

(a) Governing Law.   The Subscriber agrees that, notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, all the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  The Subscriber hereby irrevocably agrees that any suit, action, or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and any or all transactions relating hereto shall be brought in the local courts in New Castle County, Delaware or in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, as the case may be.

(b) Indemnification of the Company and Others.   The Subscriber agrees to hold the Partnership, the General Partner, and its officers, managers, and controlling persons (as defined in the 1933 Act), and any persons affiliated with any of them or with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Units, harmless from all expenses, liabilities, and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) deriving from a disposition of the Series A Preferred Units by the Subscriber in a manner in violation of the 1933 Act, or of any applicable state securities law or which may be suffered by any such person by reason of any breach by the Subscriber of any of the representations contained herein.

(c) No Commissions.   No person will receive any remuneration in connection with the offer, sale, or issuance of the Series A Preferred Units.

5. Amendments.   Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, changed, or waived without the prior written consent of all the parties hereto.

6. Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Miscellaneous.   This Agreement is not transferable or assignable by the Subscriber.  All notices or other communications to be given or made hereunder to the Subscriber shall be in writing and may be hand delivered or sent by fax, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, e-mail, or by a private overnight delivery service to the Subscriber’s address set forth below.

Notice Regarding Client Money Rules.
