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 a number of 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 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 and mortgage-backed securities;
risks associated with investing in multifamily, student, senior citizen residential and commercial properties, including changes in business conditions and the general economy;
changes in short-term interest rates;
our ability to use borrowings to finance our assets;
current uncertain economic and credit market conditions;
changes in the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Capital Fund Program; and
changes in 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 as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and in Item 1A of Part II of this document.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2015
(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. The Partnership’s general partner is America First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Two (“AFCA 2” or “General Partner”).  The general partner of AFCA2 is The Burlington Capital Group LLC (“Burlington”). The Partnership has issued Beneficial Unit Certificates (“BUCs”) representing assigned limited partner interests to investors. The affairs of the Partnership and the conduct of its business are governed by the America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated September 15, 2015 (the “Amended and Restated LP Agreement”).
 
The Partnership’s primary purpose is to acquire, hold, sell and otherwise deal with a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds which were issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for affordable multifamily, student housing, and senior citizen residential properties (collectively “Residential Properties”) and commercial properties. The Partnership expects and believes the interest earned on these mortgage revenue bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. 

The Partnership has also invested in other types of securities that may or may not be secured by real estate and may make property loans secured by multifamily residential properties which are financed by mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership.  The Partnership generally has not sought to acquire direct interests in real property as long term or permanent investments.  The Partnership has, however, acquired real estate securing its mortgage revenue bonds or property loans through foreclosure in the event of a default.  In addition, the Partnership has acquired interests in multifamily, student, and senior citizen residential properties (“MF Properties”) in order to position itself for future investments in mortgage revenue bonds issued to finance these properties. The Partnership expects to sell its interest in these MF Properties in connection with the future syndication of low income housing tax credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (“LIHTCs”) or to a tax-exempt organization and to acquire mortgage revenue bonds on these properties to provide debt financing to the new owners.
 
The “Company” refers to the Partnership and the Consolidated VIEs (defined below). The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reported in this Form 10-Q include the financial position and results of operations of the Partnership, the MF Properties which are owned by the Partnership and owned by various limited partnerships in which one of the Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiaries holds a 99% limited partner interest, and two entities in which the Partnership does not hold an ownership interest but which own multifamily residential properties financed with mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership and which are treated as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Partnership has been determined to be the primary beneficiary (the “Consolidated VIEs”). The Consolidated VIEs are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. On September 30, 2015, 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 in 2010 to hold mortgage revenue bonds in order to facilitate the Tax Exempt Bond Securitization (“TEBS”) Financing (“M24 TEBS Financing”) with Freddie Mac (see Note 11).
ATAX TEBS II, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created in 2014 to hold mortgage revenue bonds in order to facilitate the second TEBS Financing (“M31 TEBS Financing”) with Freddie Mac (see Note 11).
ATAX TEBS III, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created in 2015 to hold mortgage revenue bonds in order to facilitate the third TEBS Financing (“M33 TEBS Financing”) with Freddie Mac (see Note 11).
Eight MF Properties which are either wholly or majority owned by the Partnership or subsidiaries of the Partnership.

Stand-alone financial information of the Partnership reported in this Form 10-Q includes only the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Partnership and the MF Properties (hereafter the “Partnership”) without the Consolidated VIEs.  In the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, all transactions and accounts between the Partnership, the MF Properties and the Consolidated VIEs have been eliminated in consolidation.  The General Partner does not believe that the consolidation of VIEs for reporting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) impacts the Partnership’s status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or the status of Unitholders as partners of the Partnership, the treatment of the mortgage revenue bonds on the properties owned by Consolidated VIEs as debt, the nature of the interest payments, which it believes to be tax-exempt, received on the mortgage revenue bonds secured by the properties owned by Consolidated VIEs or the manner in which the Partnership’s income is reported to Unitholders on IRS Form K-1.

Table of Contents


The unallocated deficit of the Consolidated VIEs is primarily comprised of the accumulated historical net losses of the Consolidated VIEs since the applicable consolidation date. The unallocated deficit of the VIEs and the VIEs’ net losses subsequent to that date are not allocated to the General Partner and Unitholders as such activity is not contemplated by, or addressed in, the Amended and Restated LP Agreement. The purpose of the Partnership is to acquire, hold, sell and otherwise deal with investments which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for Residential Properties and other commercial properties. The Mortgage Revenue Bonds, the Public Housing Capital Fund Trust, and the Mortgage-Backed Securities segments fulfill this purpose, are long-term investments, and the properties which collateralize the mortgage revenue bonds are not owned or managed by the Partnership. The MF Property segment is comprised of indirectly owned, actively managed, and controlled multifamily properties. The MF Properties included in this segment are typically financed with third party mortgages.

Effective during the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company changed its reportable segments due to the classification of the Company’s Consolidated VIEs as discontinued operations. The Consolidated VIE segment was comprised of the results of operations of the underlying collateral for the related mortgage revenue bonds. The Company concluded its investment in the Consolidated VIE segment was not consistent with the Company’s portfolio of assets, as described above. As such, the Company decided to implement a strategic shift in direction by discontinuing its Consolidated VIE segment. This decision was made for the following reasons:
The risk profile of the Consolidated VIE segment was unique as the substance of the investment was the result of the operations of the underlying properties and not the mortgage revenue bonds (which is the form of the investment).The risk profile includes:
The underlying properties thin capitalization,
Related party ownership groups, and
The lack of ultimate decision-making authority.
The stated purpose of the Company was not to manage properties without having some type of ownership or ability to control the underlying property.
Subsequent to the disposition of the Consolidated VIE properties by their owners, the Company does not plan to include this type of investment as part of its strategic direction.

As such, in April 2015, the Partnership entered into brokerage contracts to sell the Consolidated VIEs. As a result, these entities met the criteria for discontinued operations presentation and have been classified as such in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented (see Notes 3, 7, 9, and 19).  

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 accompanying interim unaudited Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to 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 according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared consistently with the 2014 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position on September 30, 2015, 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.

2.  Partnership Income, Expenses and Cash Distributions
 
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 on 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 such date. For purposes of the Amended and Restated LP Agreement, cash distributions, if any, received by the Partnership from its investment in MF Properties (see Note 7) will be included in the Partnership’s Interest Income and cash distributions received by the Partnership from the sale of such properties will be included in the Partnership’s Residual Proceeds.

Table of Contents

Cash distributions are currently made on a quarterly basis but may be made on a monthly or semiannual basis at the election of AFCA 2.  On each distribution date, Net Interest Income is distributed 99% to the Unitholders and 1% to AFCA 2 and Net Residual Proceeds are distributed 100% to Unitholders 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 mortgage revenue bonds on a cumulative basis (defined as Net Interest Income (Tier 2) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 2), respectively) are distributed 75% to the Unitholders and 25% to AFCA 2.

3.  Variable Interest Entities

The Partnership invests in mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for Residential Properties and commercial properties in their market areas.  The Partnership owns 100% of these mortgage revenue bonds and each bond is secured by a first mortgage on the property.  In certain cases, the Partnership has also made property loans to the property owners which are secured by second mortgages on these properties.  Although Residential Properties financed with mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership are owned by a separate entity in which the Partnership has no equity ownership interest, the debt financing provided by the Partnership creates a variable interest in these ownership entities that may require the Partnership to report the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of these entities on a consolidated basis under GAAP.  Under consolidation guidance, the Partnership must make an evaluation of these entities to determine if they meet the definition of a VIE.

On September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Partnership determined that thirteen of the entities financed by mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership were held by VIEs.  The Partnership then determined that it is the primary beneficiary of two of these VIEs: Bent Tree and Fairmont Oaks and has consolidated these entities. The primary purpose of the Company is to acquire, hold, sell and otherwise deal with mortgage revenue bonds and other instruments which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for Residential Properties and other commercial properties. The Mortgage Revenue Bonds, the Public Housing Capital Fund Trust, and the Mortgage-Backed Securities segments fulfill this purpose, are long-term investments, and the properties which collateralize the mortgage revenue bonds are not owned or managed by the Company. The MF Property segment is comprised of indirectly owned, actively managed, and controlled multifamily properties. The MF Properties included in this segment are typically financed with third party mortgages.

In April 2015, the Partnership entered into separate brokerage contracts to sell Bent Tree and Fairmont Oaks. As a result, these entities met the criteria for discontinued operations presentation and have been classified as such in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The Company has also eliminated the Consolidated VIE segment as a reportable segment (see Notes 1, 7, 9, and 19).

The Partnership does not hold an equity interest in these VIEs. Therefore, the assets of the VIEs cannot be used to settle the general commitments of the Partnership and the Partnership is not responsible for the commitments and liabilities of the VIEs.  The primary risks to the Partnership associated with these VIEs include the entities’ ability to meet debt service obligations to the Partnership and the valuation of the underlying Residential Properties which serves as bond collateral.

The following is a discussion of the significant judgments and assumptions made by the Partnership in determining the primary beneficiary of the VIE and, therefore, whether the Partnership must consolidate the VIE.

Consolidated VIEs

In determining the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, the Partnership considers the activities of the VIE which most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance, who has the power to control such activities, the risks which the entities were designed to create, the variability associated with those risks and the interests which absorb such variability.  The Partnership also considers the related party relationship of the entities involved in the VIEs.  On September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Partnership determined it is the primary beneficiary of the Bent Tree and Fairmont Oaks VIEs, which are classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The capital structure of Bent Tree and Fairmont Oaks VIEs consists of senior debt, subordinated debt, and equity capital. The senior debt is in the form of a mortgage revenue bond and accounts for the majority of the VIEs’ total capital. As the bondholder, the Partnership is entitled to principal and interest payments and has certain protective rights as established by the bond documents.

The equity ownership of the consolidated VIEs is ultimately held by corporations which are owned by three individuals, one of which is a related party.  Additionally, each of these properties is managed by an affiliate of the Partnership, America First Properties Management Company, LLC (“Properties Management”) which is an affiliate of Burlington.

Non-Consolidated VIEs

The Company did not consolidate eleven VIE entities on September 30, 2015 based on its determination of the primary beneficiary of these eleven VIE entities. As discussed below, while the capital structures of these VIEs resulted in the Partnership holding a majority of the variable interests in these VIEs, the Partnership determined it does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and, as a result, is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs.

The mortgage revenue bonds are classified on the balance sheet as available for sale investments and are carried at fair value. Property loans are presented on the balance sheet as Other Assets and are carried at the unpaid principal less any loan loss reserves.  Note 4 includes additional information regarding the mortgage revenue bonds and Note 8 includes additional information regarding the property loans.  The maximum exposure to loss for the mortgage revenue bonds is equal to the unpaid principal balance on September 30, 2015.  The difference between the mortgage revenue bond’s carrying value and the maximum exposure to loss is a function of the fair value of the bond.  The difference between the property loan’s carrying value and the maximum exposure is the value of loan loss reserves that have been previously recorded against the outstanding property loan balances.

In September 2015 the owner of the Suites on Paseo property and the Partnership mutually agreed to exchange the deed for the Suites on Paseo property for approximately $41.0 million Series A and B mortgage revenue bonds plus accrued interest. These mortgage revenue bonds were subsequently collapsed. The following provides further background of the circumstances related to the Suites on Paseo. On June 1, 2015, the Suites on Paseo was unable to pay the Partnership the interest due on the Series A and B mortgage revenue bonds. On June 25, 2015, the Partnership received a $500,000 payment, to be applied to accrued interest owed to the Partnership on June 1, 2015, which left approximately $674,000 as interest receivable. The Partnership issued a forbearance agreement, deferring the payment of the remaining June 1, 2015 unpaid interest due, until September 1, 2015. In addition, during the eight months ended September 1, 2015, the Partnership advanced approximately $1.1 million to the Suites on Paseo, including the interest on such advances. The Partnership completed a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis of the Suites on Paseo and concluded the fair market value of the Suites on Paseo was approximately equal to the amount the Partnership had invested into the Suites on Paseo, approximately $43.4 million. On September 30, 2015, the Partnership reported the Suites on Paseo property as an MF Property (see Notes 7 and 8).

In August 2015, the Partnership acquired Series 2015 A-1 mortgage revenue bond with a par value of approximately $4.4 million and a stated annual interest rate of 5.75% which will mature on September 1, 2032. In addition, the Partnership acquired a subordinate Series 2015 A-2 mortgage revenue bond, a par value of approximately$1.9 million, and an annual interest rate of 5.5% for the first year and 8.0% for the second year, maturing on September 1, 2017. These mortgage revenue bonds are secured by Seasons at Simi Valley Apartments, a 69 unit multifamily apartment complex located in Simi Valley, California.

In July 2015, the Partnership redeemed the Harden Ranch, Tyler Park Apartments and Westside Village Market mortgage revenue B bonds and received approximately $5.8 million for the full par value plus interest.

In June 2015, pursuant to the Forward Delivery Bond Purchase Agreement (“Bond Purchase Commitment”) executed in June 2013, the Partnership acquired a Series 2013A mortgage revenue bond with a par value of $8.0 million and a subordinate Series 2013B taxable mortgage revenue bond with a par value of $500,000 with annual stated interest rates of 6.0% and 12.0%, respectively. Both mortgage revenue bonds mature on August 1, 2055 and are secured by Silver Moon Lodge Apartments, a 151 unit multifamily property located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

In June 2015, the Partnership finalized the restructuring of two mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Renaissance Gateway Apartments, a 208 unit multifamily property located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The restructuring resulted in moving the Series B mortgage revenue bond with a par value of approximately $1.3 million and the Series C mortgage revenue bond with a par value of approximately $1.7 million into a Series A mortgage revenue bond with a par value of approximately $8.5 million. The new Series 2013A par value mortgage revenue bond reported on September 30, 2015 is approximately $11.5 million with an annual stated interest rate of 6.0%, which will mature on June 1, 2050. The Partnership received cash of approximately $1.2 million from the resizing of the mortgage revenue bonds.

In June 2015, pursuant to the Bond Purchase Commitment executed December 2012, the Partnership acquired a Series 2012B mortgage revenue bond of approximately $26.5 million with an annual stated interest rate of 6.0%, which will mature on January 1, 2053.

These mortgage revenue bonds are secured by Avistar at the Parkway Apartments, a 236 unit multifamily apartment complex located in San Antonio, Texas.

In January 2015, the Partnership acquired six mortgage revenue bonds below:
The Partnership purchased a Series 2015A mortgage revenue bond with a par value of approximately $17.1 million and a Series 2015B mortgage revenue bond with a par value of approximately $2.1 million. These mortgage revenue bonds are secured by Concord at Gulfgate Apartments, a 288 unit multifamily residential property located in Houston, Texas.
The Partnership purchased a Series 2015A mortgage revenue bond with a par value of approximately $12.5 million and a Series 2015B mortgage revenue bond with a par value of approximately $1.0 million. These mortgage revenue bonds are secured by Concord at Little York Apartments, a 276 unit multifamily residential property located in Houston, Texas.
The Partnership purchased a Series 2015A mortgage revenue bond with a par value of approximately $18.0 million and a Series 2015B mortgage revenue bond with a par value of approximately $2.8 million.

Table of Contents

All of the Partnership’s investments in mortgage revenue bonds are classified as available-for-sale securities and they are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values.  On September 30, 2015, the weighted average base rate of the mortgage revenue bonds reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements was approximately 6.2% per annum. Due to the limited market for the mortgage revenue bonds, these estimates of fair value do not necessarily represent what the Partnership would actually receive in a sale of the mortgage revenue bonds.  There is no active trading market for the mortgage revenue bonds and price quotes for the mortgage revenue bonds are not generally available.  

On September 30, 2015, all of the Partnership’s mortgage revenue bonds were valued using discounted cash flow and yield to maturity analyses performed by management.  Management’s valuation encompasses judgment in its application and the key assumption in management’s yield to maturity analysis is the range of effective yields on the individual mortgage revenue bonds.  The effective yield analysis for each mortgage revenue bond considers the current market yield on similar mortgage revenue bonds as well as the debt service coverage ratio of each underlying property serving as collateral for the mortgage revenue bond. On September 30, 2015, the range of effective yields on the individual mortgage revenue bonds was 3.4% to 9.5% per annum.  On December 31, 2014, the range of effective yields on the individual mortgage revenue bonds was 4.7% to 8.3% per annum.

Additionally, the Partnership calculated the sensitivity of the key assumption used in calculating the fair values of these mortgage revenue bonds.  Assuming a 10% adverse change in the key assumption, the effective yields on the individual mortgage revenue bonds would increase to a range of 3.7% to 10.5% per annum and would result in additional unrealized losses on the mortgage revenue bond portfolio of approximately $32.3 million.  This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and is at a specific point in time.  The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value of the Partnership’s mortgage revenue bonds and should be used with caution.  If available, the General Partner may also consider price quotes on similar mortgage revenue bonds or other information from external sources, such as pricing services.  Pricing services, broker quotes and management’s analyses provide indicative pricing only.

Unrealized gains or losses on the Partnership’s mortgage revenue bonds are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to reflect changes in their estimated fair values resulting from market conditions and fluctuations in the present value of the expected cash flows from the underlying properties. On September 30, 2015, there were no mortgage revenue bond investments in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months.
 
5. Public Housing Capital (“PHC”) Fund Trust Certificates

The Partnership owns 100% of the Residual Participation Receipts (“LIFERs”) in three TOB trusts (“PHC TOB Trusts”). On September 30, 2015, the PHC TOB Trusts owned approximately $58.3 million of Public Housing Capital Fund Certificates (“PHC Certificates”) issued by three trusts (“PHC Trusts”) sponsored by Deutsche Bank (“DB”). 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 the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“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.
The Partnership determined that the three PHC TOB trusts are VIEs and that the Partnership was the primary beneficiary of each of the three PHC TOB trusts. As a result, the Partnership reports the PHC TOB Trusts on a consolidated basis and the SPEARS as debt financing. In determining the primary beneficiary of these specific VIEs, the Partnership considered who 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 indenture for the PHC TOB trusts stipulates that the Partnership has the sole right to cause the PHC TOB trusts to sell the PHC Certificates. If they were sold, the extent to which the VIEs will be exposed to gains or losses would result from decisions made by the Partnership.

As all of the Partnership’s investments in PHC Certificates are classified as available-for-sale securities, they are carried on the Company’s balance sheet at their estimated fair values. On September 30, 2015, the weighted average base rate of the PHC Trust Certificates was approximately 5.2% per annum.  Due to the limited market for the PHC Certificates, these estimates of the fair value do not necessarily represent what the Partnership would actually receive in a sale of the PHC Certificates.  The estimates of the fair values of these PHC certificates is based on a yield to maturity analysis which 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 PHC Fund trusts adjusted largely for unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants. Management’s fair value estimates encompass judgment. Management’s estimates are compared to external pricing services when available.   

On September 30, 2015 the range of effective yields on the PHC Certificates was approximately 4.1% to 5.8% per annum.  On December 31, 2014 the range of effective yields on the PHC Certificates was approximately 4.2% to 5.4% per annum.  Additionally, the Partnership calculated the sensitivity of the key assumption used in calculating the fair values of these PHC Certificates.  Assuming a 10% adverse change in the key assumption, the effective yields on the PHC Certificates would increase to a range of 4.5% to 6.4% per annum and would result in additional unrealized annual losses on the PHC Certificates of approximately $2.1 million.  This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and is at 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.  If available, the general partner may also consider other information from external sources, such as pricing services.  Pricing services and management’s analysis provide indicative pricing only.

6. Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”)

On September 30, 2015, the Partnership held three securitizations of mortgage-backed securities (“MBS TOB Trusts”). The Partnership owns the LIFERS issued by the three MBS TOB Trusts which were purchased for approximately $2.8 million.

Each of the three MBS TOB Trusts issued SPEARS to unaffiliated investors. These SPEARS totaled approximately $11.9 million on September 30, 2015. The SPEARS represent senior interests in the MBS TOB Trusts and have been credit enhanced by DB. The LIFERS entitle the Partnership to all principal and interest payments received by the MBS TOB Trust on the securitized MBS securities after payments due to the holders of the SPEARs and trust costs. The SPEARS bear interest at a variable rate based on Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) index.

The Partnership determined that the three MBS TOB Trusts are VIEs and that the Partnership was the primary beneficiary of each of them. As a result, the Partnership reports the MBS TOB Trusts on a consolidated basis and the SPEARS as debt financing. In determining the primary beneficiary of these specific VIEs, the Partnership considered who 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 indenture for the MBS TOB Trusts stipulates that the Partnership has the sole right to cause the MBS TOB Trusts to sell the MBS securities. If they were sold, the extent to which the MBS TOB Trusts will be exposed to gains or losses would result from decisions made by the Partnership.

The carrying value of the Partnership’s MBS securities on September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is as follows:

(1) MBS securities are reported based on the lowest rating issued by a Rating Agency, if more than one rating is issued on the security, on the date presented.

The Partnership values each MBS security based upon prices obtained from a third party pricing service, which are indicative of market activity. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods, incorporates trading activity observed in the market place, and other data inputs. The methodology also considers the underlying characteristics of each security, which are also observable inputs, including: coupon; maturity date; loan age; reset date; collateral type; geography; and prepayment speeds. Management analyzes pricing data received from the third party pricing service by comparing it to valuation information obtained from at least one other third party pricing service and ensuring they are within a tolerable range of difference which the Partnership estimates as 7.5%. Management also looks at observations of trading activity observed in the market place when available.

Table of Contents

On September 30, 2015, the range of effective yields on the individual MBS was 3.8% to 5.3% per annum. On December 31, 2014, the range of effective yields on the individual MBS securities was 3.7% to 5.2% per annum. Additionally, the Partnership calculated the sensitivity of the key assumption used in calculating the fair values of the MBS which is the effective yield on new issuances of similarly rated MBS securities.  Assuming a 10% adverse change in that key assumption, the effective yields on the MBS securities would increase to a range of 4.2% to 5.8% per annum and would result in additional unrealized losses on the bond portfolio of approximately $790,000.  This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and is at 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.  Pricing services and management’s analysis provide indicative pricing only. The MBS securities have been in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and the Partnership does not believe the investments are other than temporarily impaired on September 30, 2015 as it has the intent and ability to hold these investments until their estimated fair value recovers to the carrying cost or until final maturity.

The MBS securities are backed by residential mortgage loans and interest payable from the MBS securities is believed and expected to be exempt from federal income taxation. Description of certain terms of the Partnership’s MBS securities is as follows:

7.  Real Estate Assets

MF Properties

To facilitate its investment strategy of acquiring additional mortgage revenue bonds secured by MF Properties, the Partnership has acquired through its subsidiary a 99% limited partner position in one limited partnership and 100% member positions in six limited liability companies that own the MF Properties, and owns one of the MF Properties directly. The financial statements of these properties are consolidated with those of the Partnership.  The general partners of these partnerships are unaffiliated parties and their 1% ownership interest in these limited partnerships is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as noncontrolling interests. 

Recent Transactions

In August, 2015, the Partnership sold Glynn Place, an MF Property, for approximately $5.5 million and realized a gain of approximately $1.2 million, which was considered Tier 2 income.

In May 2015, the Partnership sold The Colonial property for approximately $10.7 million and realized a gain of approximately $3.4 million, which was considered Tier 2 income.

Mortgage revenue bond exchange for an MF Property
In September 2015 the owner of the Suites on Paseo property and the Partnership mutually agreed to exchange the deed for the Suites on Paseo property, a California property, in exchange for approximately $41.0 million Series A and B mortgage revenue bonds plus accrued interest. The mortgage revenue bonds were subsequently collapsed (see Note 4). This property has been included as an MF Property at September 30, 2015 for the initial value of approximately $43.4 million which represents the fair market value of the property. In addition, the Suites on Paseo reported approximately $200,000 in other current assets. The Suites on Paseo balance sheet and results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership, property loans have been made to the owners of the properties which secure the mortgage revenue bonds and are reported as property loans receivable in Other Assets, net of loan loss reserves.  The Partnership periodically, or as changes in circumstances or operations dictate, evaluates such property loans receivable for impairment.  The value of the underlying property assets is ultimately the most relevant measure of value to support the property loan values.  The Partnership utilizes a discounted cash flow model, which includes various assumptions, in estimating a property’s fair value.   The various models may assume multiple revenue and expense scenarios, various capitalization rates and multiple discount rates.  Other information, such as independent appraisals, may be considered in estimating a property’s fair value.  If the estimated fair value of the property after deducting the amortized cost basis of any senior mortgage revenue bond exceeds the principal balance of the property loan then no potential loss is indicated and no loan loss reserve for property loans is needed. In estimating the property valuation, the most significant assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model remain the same as discussed in the Form 10-K and include revenue and expense projections and capitalization rates.

See the Fair Value Measurement Note 15 for the detailed description of the fair value estimation process for all taxable mortgage bonds.

In September 2015, the owner of the Suites on Paseo property and the Partnership mutually agreed to exchange the deed for the Suites on Paseo property for approximately $41.0 million Series A and B mortgage revenue bonds plus accrued interest. The mortgage revenue bonds were subsequently collapsed. During the eight months ended September 1, 2015, the Partnership advanced approximately $1.1 million to the Suites on Paseo, including the interest on such advances. The Partnership completed a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis of the Suites on Paseo and concluded the fair market value of the Suites on Paseo was approximately equal to the amount the Partnership had invested in the Suites on Paseo, approximately $43.4 million (see Notes 4 and 7).

In June 2015, the Partnership purchased a $500,000 taxable mortgage revenue bond with an annual interest rate of 12.0%. The taxable mortgage revenue bond matures on August 1, 2055and is secured by Silver Moon Lodge Apartments, a 151 unit multifamily property located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

In June 2015, the Partnership executed a loan agreement with Silver Moon Lodge LLLP, owner of the Silver Moon Lodge Apartments, for approximately $2.8 million which is due and payable in full on January 1, 2016. The principal on the loan will be repaid from the limited partner capital contributed to Silver Moon Lodge LLLP when the 4.0% LIHTCs are sold. The capital contribution is anticipated to occur prior to December 31, 2015.

In April 2015, the Partnership advanced approximately $567,000 to the Suites on Paseo for operations. This amount has been included as an investment in the Suites on Paseo in September 2015 which was eliminated upon consolidation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Partnership also advanced approximately $90,500 to Cross Creek. In addition, the Partnership received approximately $100,000 of principal from FAH during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Partnership recorded an allowance on interest equal to the accrued interest on the Ashley Square, Cross Creek, Lake Forest, the Ohio Properties property loans receivable as the Partnership determined they were not reasonably assured.

9. Discontinued Operations

The primary purpose of the Partnership is to acquire, hold, sell and otherwise deal with mortgage revenue bonds and other instruments which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for Residential Properties and other commercial properties. The Mortgage Revenue Bonds, the Public Housing Capital Fund Trust, and the Mortgage-Backed Securities segments fulfill this purpose, are long-term investments, and the properties which collateralize the mortgage revenue bonds are not owned or managed by the Partnership. The MF Property segment is comprised of indirectly owned, actively managed, and controlled multifamily properties. The MF Properties included in this segment are typically financed with third party mortgages.


28

Table of Contents

Effective during the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company changed its reportable segments due to the classification of the Company’s Consolidated VIEs as discontinued operations. The Consolidated VIE segment was comprised of the results of operations of the underlying collateral for the related mortgage revenue bonds. The Company concluded its investment in the Consolidated VIE segment was not consistent with the Company’s portfolio of assets, as described above. As such, the Company decided to implement a strategic shift in direction by discontinuing its Consolidated VIE segment. This decision was made for the following reasons:
The risk profile of the Consolidated VIE segment was unique as the substance of the investment was the result of the operations of the underlying properties and not the mortgage revenue bonds (which is the form of the investment).The risk profile includes:
The underlying properties thin capitalization,
Related party ownership groups, and
The lack of ultimate decision-making authority.
The stated purpose of the Company was not to manage properties without having some type of ownership or ability to control the underlying property.
Subsequent to the disposition of the Consolidated VIE properties by their owners, the Company does not plan to include this type of investment as part of its strategic direction.

As such, in April 2015, separate brokerage contracts were executed to list the Consolidated VIEs, Bent Tree and Fairmont Oaks, for sale. As a result, management has determined these Consolidated VIEs met the criteria for discontinued operations presentation and have been classified as such in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented (see Notes 1, 3, and 7). The Consolidated VIEs results of operations are reported in the segments as part of the discontinued operations in Net income (see Note 19).

The proceeds from these sales are expected to be more than the carrying value of each of the property’s assets and the sales are expected to be completed before December 31, 2015.

10. Lines of Credit

On September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Partnership reported outstanding lines of credit (“LOC”) of approximately $6.4 million and $0, respectively.

In May 2015, the Partnership entered into an unsecured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) of up to $50.0 million with its sole lead arranger and administrative agent, Bankers Trust Company (“Bankers Trust”). Under the Credit Agreement, Bankers Trust will make advances to the Partnership not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million. The maximum principal amount of the unsecured LOC is $50.0 million on September 30, 2015. The principal amount of each acquisition advance will be due and payable on the 270th day following the date on which the advance was made (the “Repayment Date”). The Partnership may extend any Repayment Date for up to three additional 90-day periods, but in no event later than May 14, 2017, by providing Bankers Trust with a written request for such extension together with a principal payment of 5% of the principal amount of the original acquisition advance for the first extension, 10% for the second extension, and 20% for the third extension. The proceeds of the Unsecured LOC will be used by the Partnership for the purchase of real estate either with existing or to-be-constructed multifamily property improvements, taxable or mortgage revenue bonds, public housing capital fund trust certificates, or mortgage backed securities. The Partnership intends to repay each advance either through a TOB financing, a TEBS transaction, or otherwise through securing alternate long-term debt or equity financing. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company paid back the approximate $37.4 million it had borrowed and reported no amounts outstanding on the LOC on September 30, 2015 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2014, the Partnership obtained two $5.0 million LOCs. The first revolving LOC carries a variable interest rate which was approximately 3.5% on September 30, 2015, and matures in March 2016. The second revolving LOC also carries a variable interest rate which was approximately 3.4% on September 30, 2015 and matures in March 2016. The Partnership is required to make prepayments of the principal to reduce the second revolving LOC to zero for fifteen consecutive days during each calendar quarter. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Partnership reduced the LOC to zero for seven consecutive days and obtained a prepayment waiver from the second revolving LOC lender. The Partnership has fulfilled its fourth quarter 2015 prepayment obligation. On September 30, 2015 the Partnership had outstanding debt of $5.0 million on one of the LOCs.

In addition, the Partnership has a $7.5 million promissory note, maturing on August 1, 2017, which carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.8% per annum plus the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") which was approximately 0.2% per annum on September 30, 2015. The Partnership had approximately $7.5 million borrowed on September 30, 2015. Approximately $6.1 million is related to the Woodland Park property and is reported as part of Mortgage payables and approximately $1.4 million is reported in Lines of credit on the September 30, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

11.  Debt Financing

On September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Partnership reported outstanding debt financing of approximately $447.6 million and approximately $345.4 million, respectively, through the use of various credit facilities.

In July 2011, the Partnership executed a Master Trust Agreement with DB which allows the Partnership to execute multiple TOB Trust structures upon the approval and agreement of terms by DB. Under each TOB Trust structure issued through the Master Trust Agreement, the TOB trustee issues SPEARS and LIFERS. These SPEARS and LIFERS represent beneficial interests in the securitized asset held by the TOB trustee. The Partnership will purchase the LIFERS from each of these TOB Trusts which will grant them certain rights to the securitized assets. The Master Trust Agreement with DB has covenants with which the Partnership is required to comply. On September 30, 2015, the most restrictive covenant was that cash available to distribute for the trailing twelve months must be at least two times trailing twelve month interest expense. On September 30, 2015 the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants. If the Partnership were to be out of compliance with any of these covenants, it could trigger a termination event of the financing facilities.

In July 2015, due to certain restrictions imposed by the Volcker Rule, the Partnership and DB restructured eight of the existing TOB Trust structures by entering into a new Master Trust Agreement and related documents to create Term TOB Trusts (“Term TOB Trusts”).  Like the prior trusts, the Partnership transfered its mortgage revenue bonds to the TOB trustee, which issued Class A and Class B Trust Certificates. These Trust Certificates represent beneficial interests in the securitized asset held by the TOB trustee.  DB purchased the Class A Certificates.  The Partnership purchased the Class B Certificates from each of these Term TOB Trusts, which certificates grant them certain rights to the securitized assets. The restructuring increased the total borrowing from approximately $124.7 million to approximately $137.2 million, extended the maturity dates from October 2016 through July 2019, and fixed the annual interest rates from approximately 2.8% to 4.5%. The Partnership expects to renew each of the TOB financing facilities at its discretion per the terms of the agreements.

In March 2015, the Partnership borrowed $15.0 million through a newly executed TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB. The new TOB Trust facility was securitized by the Suites on Paseo mortgage revenue bond and has a maturity date of November 2015. On the closing date the total fixed TOB Trust facility interest rate was approximately 4.1% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of this TOB Trust the Partnership is required to reimburse DB for any shortfall realized on the contractual cash flows on the SPEARS. There have been no shortfalls realized. This new TOB Trust replaced the December 2013 TOB Trust under its credit facility which securitized the Suites on Paseo mortgage revenue bond with DB. When the restructuring was completed in July 2015, this TOB Trust was settled.

In February 2015, the Partnership executed three new TOB Trusts under its July 2011 Master Trust Agreement credit facility with DB securitizing the Concord at Gulfgate Apartments, Concord at Little York Apartments, and Concord at Williamcrest Apartments 2015A mortgage revenue bonds borrowing approximately $33.3 million under three TOB Trusts. Each TOB Trust facility has an approximate 2.8% per annum fixed interest rate and each will mature in February 2018. Pursuant to the terms of this TOB Trust the Partnership is required to reimburse DB for any shortfall realized on the contractual cash flows on the SPEARS. In July 2015, the Partnership restructured these TOB Trusts into the Term TOB Trusts which report an outstanding balance of approximately $41.8 million on September 30, 2015.

On September 30, 2015, the Partnership has posted approximately $1.6 million of cash collateral in connection with the Term TOB Trusts. This collateral is recorded as restricted cash in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

There were no changes to the PHC and MBS TOB Trusts during the quarter. The Partnership is accounting for all of the TOB Trust financing transactions as secured financing arrangements. On September 30, 2015, the total cost of borrowing on the PHC TOB and the MBS TOB Trusts averaged approximately 2.3% and 1.1%, respectively.

TEBS Financings
In July 2015, the Partnership and its newly created consolidated subsidiary, ATAX TEBS III, LLC (the “2015 Sponsor”), entered into a number of agreements relating to a new long-term debt financing facility provided through the securitization of nine mortgage revenue bonds, with a par value of approximately $105.4 million owned by the 2015 Sponsor pursuant to the M33 TEBS financing. The M33 TEBS financing facility essentially provides the Partnership with a long-term variable-rate debt facility at interest rates reflecting prevailing short-term tax-exempt rates.
Effective July 1, 2015, the Partnership transferred the following mortgage revenue bonds to the 2015 Sponsor pursuant to the M33 TEBS financing described above:

The mortgage revenue bonds were then securitized by transferring these assets to Freddie Mac in exchange for Class A and Class B Freddie Mac Multifamily Variable Rate Certificates (collectively, the “M33 TEBS Certificates”) issued by Freddie Mac. The M33 TEBS Certificates represent beneficial interests in the securitized assets held by Freddie Mac. The Class A TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of approximately $84.3 million and were sold through a placement agent to unaffiliated investors. The Class B M33 TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of approximately $21.1 million and were retained by the 2015 Sponsor. After payment of transaction expenses, the 2015 Sponsor received net proceeds from the M33 TEBS Financing of approximately $82.2 million. The Partnership applied approximately $37.5 million of the net proceeds to pay the entire outstanding principal of, and accrued interest on, its line of credit with Banker’s Trust that was previously used by the Partnership as a short term financing facility to fund additional assets purchased during June 2015 and placed approximately $4.8 million into a stabilization escrow.
The holders of the Class A M33 TEBS Certificates are entitled to receive regular payments of interest from Freddie Mac at a variable rate which resets periodically based on the weekly SIFMA floating index rate plus certain credit, facility, remarketing, and servicing fees (the “Facility Fees”). In order to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the variable rate M33 TEBS financing, the 2015 Sponsor also entered into interest rate cap agreements with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Royal Bank of Canada, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, each in an initial notional amount of approximately $21.1 million, which effectively limits the interest payable by the 2015 Sponsor on the Class A M33 TEBS Certificates to a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum on the combined notional amounts of the interest rate cap agreements through August 15, 2020. On September 30, 2015, the SIFMA based rate was equal to 0.03% the total Facility Fees were approximately 1.3%, the rate caps were approximately 0.1%, the finance costs were approximately 0.5%, resulting in the total initial cost of the M33 TEBS financing facility equal to approximately 2.0%.
Payment of interest on the Class A M33 TEBS Certificates will be made from the interest payments received by Freddie Mac from the mortgage revenue bonds held by Freddie Mac on designated interest payment dates prior to any payments of interest on the Class B M33 TEBS Certificates held by the 2015 Sponsor. As the holder of the Class B M33 TEBS Certificates, the 2015 Sponsor is not entitled to receive interest payments on the Class B TEBS Certificates at any particular rate, but will be entitled to all payments of principal and interest on the mortgage revenue bonds held by Freddie Mac after payment of principal and interest due on the Class A M33 TEBS Certificates and payment of all Facility Fees and associated expenses. Accordingly, the amount of interest paid to the 2015 Sponsor on the Class B M33 TEBS Certificates is expected to vary over time, and could be eliminated altogether, due to fluctuations in the interest rate payable on the Class A M33 TEBS Certificates, Facility Fees, expenses, and other factors.

Freddie Mac has guaranteed payment of scheduled principal and interest payments on the Class A M33 TEBS Certificates and also has guaranteed payment of the purchase price of any Class A M33 TEBS Certificates that are tendered to Freddie Mac in accordance with their terms which cannot be remarketed to new holders within five business days.  The 2015 Sponsor is obligated to reimburse Freddie Mac for certain expenses, including any payments made by Freddie Mac under its guaranty. These obligations of the 2015 Sponsor are also guaranteed by the Partnership.  The Partnership also entered into various subordination agreements with Freddie Mac under which the Partnership has subordinated its rights and remedies with respect to the mortgage revenue and taxable bonds and mortgage loans made by it to the owners of properties securing certain of the mortgage revenue bonds to the rights of Freddie Mac as the holder of the mortgage revenue bonds.

The term of the M33 TEBS financing coincides with the terms of the assets securing the M33 TEBS Certificates, except the 2015 Sponsor may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the mortgage revenue bonds from Freddie Mac on either July 15, 2020 or July 15, 2025.  The 2015 Sponsor also retains a right to require a mortgage revenue bond to be released from Freddie Mac in the event of a payment default on the mortgage revenue bond which remains uncured for two consecutive scheduled payment dates or 60 days, whichever is shorter, by paying Freddie Mac the unpaid principal and accrued interest on the mortgage revenue bond plus a yield maintenance payment.  In addition, the 2015 Sponsor has a limited right to substitute new mortgage revenue bonds for existing mortgage revenue bonds held by Freddie Mac in certain circumstances. Should the Partnership not elect to terminate the TEBS Financing on these dates the full term of the M33 TEBS Financing runs through the final principal payment date associated with the securitized bonds, or August 1, 2055.

On July 10, 2014, the Partnership and its newly created consolidated subsidiary, ATAX TEBS II, LLC (the “2014 Sponsor”), entered into a number of agreements relating to a new long-term debt financing facility provided through the securitization of thirteen mortgage revenue bonds, with a par value of approximately $118.4 million, owned by the 2014 Sponsor pursuant to the M31 TEBS financing. The M31 TEBS financing facility essentially provides the Partnership with a long-term variable-rate debt facility at interest rates reflecting prevailing short-term tax-exempt rates.

The mortgage revenue bonds were then securitized by transferring these assets to Freddie Mac in exchange for Class A and Class B Freddie Mac Multifamily Variable Rate Certificates, (collectively, the “M31 TEBS Certificates”). The M31 TEBS Certificates represent beneficial interests in the securitized assets held by Freddie Mac. The Class A TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of approximately $94.7 million and were sold through a placement agent to unaffiliated investors. The Class B M31 TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of approximately $23.7 million and were retained by the 2014 Sponsor. The gross proceeds from the M31 TEBS financing were approximately $94.7 million. After the payment of transaction expenses, the Partnership received net proceeds from the M31 TEBS financing of approximately $91.6 million. The Partnership applied approximately $72.4 million of these net proceeds to retire the short-term securitization that previously existed on these bonds and approximately $6.3 million to a stabilization escrow. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, $1.9 million of restricted cash related to the Avistar at Chase Hill mortgage revenue bond was released to the Partnership. Approximately $1.3 million is reported as restricted cash on the September 30, 2015 balance sheet.
The holders of the Class A M31 TEBS Certificates are entitled to receive regular payments of interest from Freddie Mac at a variable rate which resets periodically based on the weekly SIFMA floating index rate plus certain credit, facility, remarketing, and servicing fees (“Facility Fees”). In order to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the variable rate M31 TEBS financing, the 2014 Sponsor also entered into interest rate cap agreements with Barclays Bank PLC, the Royal Bank of Canada, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, each in an initial notional amount of approximately $31.6 million, which effectively limits the interest payable by the 2014 Sponsor on the Class A M31 TEBS Certificates to a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum on the combined notional amounts of the interest rate cap agreements through August 15, 2019.
The total Facility Fees are 1.4% per annum, and on September 30, 2015, the SIFMA based rate was equal to approximately 0.0% per annum resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.4% per annum on the outstanding balance of the M31 TEBS financing facility of approximately $94.5 million. The M31 TEBS financing and the associated M31 TEBS Trust are presented as secured financings within the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Payment of interest on the Class A M31 TEBS Certificates will be made from the interest payments received by Freddie Mac from the mortgage revenue bonds held by Freddie Mac on designated interest payment dates prior to any payments of interest on the Class B M31 TEBS Certificates held by the 2014 Sponsor. As the holder of the Class B M31 TEBS Certificates, the 2014 Sponsor is not entitled to receive interest payments on the Class B TEBS Certificates at any particular rate, but will be entitled to all payments of principal and interest on the Class B TEBS Certificates held by Freddie Mac after payment of principal and interest due on the Class A M31 TEBS Certificates and payment of all Facility Fees and associated expenses. Accordingly, the amount of interest paid to the 2014 Sponsor on the Class B M31 TEBS Certificates is expected to vary over time, and could be eliminated altogether, due to fluctuations in the interest rate payable on the Class A M31 TEBS Certificates, Facility Fees, expenses, and other factors.

Should the Partnership not elect to terminate the TEBS Financing on these dates the full term of the M31 TEBS Financing runs through the final principal payment date associated with the securitized bonds, or August 1, 2050.

On September 1, 2010, the Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiary ATAX TEBS I, LLC, entered into a number of agreements relating to a new long-term debt financing facility provided through the securitization of thirteen mortgage revenue bonds owned by the ATAX TEBS I, LLC (the “2010 Sponsor”) pursuant to the M24 TEBS financing. The M24 TEBS financing essentially provides the Partnership with a long-term variable-rate debt facility at interest rates reflecting prevailing short-term tax-exempt rates.
In February 2014, the mortgage revenue bond secured by Lost Creek was redeemed for an amount greater than the outstanding principal and accrued base interest. The Partnership received approximately $18.7 million for the Lost Creek mortgage revenue bond which was used to retire a portion of the M24 TEBS Financing facility. On September 30, 2015, there are twelve mortgage revenue bonds owned by the 2010 Sponsor.

In September 2010, the Partnership entered into the M24 TEBS financing transferring certain mortgage revenue bonds to ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity. The par value of the mortgage revenue bonds included in this financing facility on September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:

The securitization of these assets occurred through two classes of certificates. The Class A TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of $95.8 million and were sold through a placement agent to unaffiliated investors. The Class B TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of $20.3 million and were retained by the 2010 Sponsor. The holders of the Class A TEBS Certificates are entitled to receive regular payments of interest from Freddie Mac at a variable rate which resets periodically based on the weekly SIFMA floating index rate plus the Facility Fees.
The total Facility Fees are 1.9% per annum, and on September 30, 2015, the SIFMA based rate was equal to approximately 0.1% per annum resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.0% per annum on the outstanding balance of the M24 TEBS financing facility of $76.0 million. The M24 TEBS financing and the associated TEBS Trust are presented as secured financings within the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The term of the M24 TEBS financing coincides with the terms of the assets securing the TEBS Certificates, except that the Partnership may terminate the M24 TEBS financing at its option on either September 15, 2017 or September 15, 2020. If the Partnership does not elect to terminate the M24 TEBS financing on these dates, the full term of the M24 TEBS financing runs through the final principal payment date associated with the securitized mortgage revenue bonds, or July 15, 2050.

13.  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 mortgage revenue bonds, 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 fees directly to AFCA 2. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Partnership paid or accrued administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $669,000 and $1.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Partnership paid or accrued administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $536,000 and $1.5 million, 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 mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership.  These administrative fees also equal 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of these mortgage revenue bonds and totaled approximately $16,000 and $46,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, these fees totaled approximately $17,000 and $51,000, respectively.

AFCA 2 earns mortgage placement fees in connection with the acquisition of certain mortgage revenue bonds.  These mortgage placement fees were paid by the owners of the respective properties and, accordingly, have not been reflected in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements because these properties are not consolidated.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, AFCA 2 earned mortgage placement fees of approximately $259,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, AFCA 2 earned mortgage placement fees of approximately $397,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.

An affiliate of AFCA 2, America First Properties Management Company, LLC (“Properties Management”) provided property management services for the nine MF Properties (including The Colonial and Glynn Place which were sold in May and August 2015, respectively), the two Consolidated VIEs, classified as discontinued operations, and six of the properties collateralized by the mortgage revenue bonds, earning management fees of approximately $309,000 and $952,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Properties Management provided property management services for the eight MF Properties, the two Consolidated VIEs, classified as discontinued operations, and six of the properties collateralized by the mortgage revenue bonds, earning management fees of approximately $315,000 and $948,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. These property management fees are not Partnership expenses, but are paid in each case by the owner of the Residential Properties.  For properties owned by entities treated as MF Properties, the property management fees are reflected as real estate operating expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  The 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 mortgage revenue bonds and property loans, if applicable.

An affiliate of AFCA 2 acts as a origination advisor and consultant to the borrowers when mortgage revenue bonds and financing facilities are acquired by the Partnership. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $129,000 and $507,000, respectively, in origination fees were paid by the borrower of certain acquired bonds and have not been reflected in the accompanying Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately $198,500 and $607,000, respectively, in origination fees were paid by the borrower of certain acquired bonds and have not been reflected in the accompanying Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $790,000 in consulting fees were paid by the Partnership to this affiliate related to the M33 TEBS financing facility. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately $888,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, in origination and consulting fees were paid by the Partnership to this affiliate related to a mortgage revenue bond acquisition and the M31 TEBS financing facility.

SMBC Capital Markets, Inc

In July 2015, to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the variable rate M33 TEBS financing, the Partnership entered into interest rate cap agreements with Wells Fargo Bank, the Royal Bank of Canada, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, each in an initial notional amount of approximately $28.1 million, which effectively limits the interest payable by the Partnership on the M33 TEBS Certificates to a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum on the combined notional amounts of the interest rate cap agreements through August 15, 2020. The interest rate cap contracts cost approximately $573,000.

On March 30, 2015, SMBC Capital Markets, Inc. revised and replaced an existing interest rate cap agreement with the notional amount of approximately $28.8 million for the outstanding borrowings on the MBS TOB financing facilities to $11.0 million. These agreements effectively limit the interest component of the TOB financing correlated with the SIFMA index to a maximum of 1.0% on $52.3 million of the outstanding borrowings on the MBS TOB financing facilities and the PHC Certificates TOB financing facilities through a three year term ending March 1, 2017. The Partnership received $10,500 of cash collateral upon the execution of the revised interest rate cap agreement thus reducing its purchase price to approximately $151,000.

The Partnership contracted for two no-cost interest rate swaps with DB related to the Decatur Angle and Bruton TOB financing facilities collateralized by mortgage revenue bonds that are used to provide financing for the construction of these properties. The swap related to the Decatur Angle TOB financing facility has a $23.0 million notional value, an October 15, 2016 effective date, and an October 15, 2021 termination date. The swap related to the Bruton TOB financing facility has an approximate $18.1 million notional value, an April 15, 2017 effective date, and an April 15, 2022 termination date. Both swaps are in place to mitigate the possible interest rate increases and swaps a variable rate based on LIBOR for an approximate 2.0% fixed rate. On September 30, 2015 the fair value of the Decatur Angle swap is a liability of approximately $871,000 and the fair value of the Bruton swap is a liability of approximately $669,000. The fair value of these swaps has been recorded as a liability on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

These interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, they are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense. The change in the fair value of these derivative contracts

resulted in a increase in the interest expense of approximately $1.3 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The change in the fair value of these derivative contracts resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $154,000 and $764,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The valuation methodology used to estimate the fair value of the Partnership’s interest rate derivative agreements is disclosed in Note 15.

15.   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.

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

Investments in Mortgage Revenue Bonds.  The fair values of the Partnership’s investments in mortgage revenue bonds have each been based on a discounted cash flow or yield to maturity analysis. The Partnership uses this same valuation methodology to estimate the fair value adjustment for its bond purchase commitments. There is no active trading market for the mortgage revenue bonds and price quotes for the mortgage revenue bonds are not available.  If available, the General Partner may also consider price quotes on similar mortgage revenue bonds or other information from external sources, such as pricing services.  The estimates of the fair values of these mortgage revenue bonds, whether estimated by the Partnership or based on external sources, are based largely on unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants.  Additionally, the calculation methodology used by the external sources and the Partnership encompasses the use of judgment in its application. To validate changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s investments in mortgage revenue bonds between reporting periods, the General Partner looks 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 General Partner validates that the changes in the estimated fair value of the mortgage revenue bonds move with the changes in these monitored factors. Given these facts the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investment in mortgage revenue bonds is categorized as a Level 3 input. There is also approximately $3.3 million of estimated fair market value adjustments related to Bond Purchase Commitments that are categorized as a Level 3 inputs which were recorded in other comprehensive loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The fair value of the Bond Purchase Commitments are determined in the same manner as the mortgage revenue bonds.

Investments in Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates. The fair value of the Partnership’s investment in Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates has been based on a yield to maturity analysis performed by the General Partner. There is no active trading market for the trusts’ certificates owned by the Partnership, but the General Partner will look at estimated values as determined by pricing services when available. The estimates of the fair values of these trusts’ certificates begin 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 General Partner believes would be used by market participants. Additionally, the calculation methodology used by external pricing services and the Partnership encompasses the use of judgment in its application. The Partnership validates that the changes in the estimated fair value of Public Housing Capital Fund Trust 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 Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates is categorized as a Level 3 input.
    
Investments in Mortgage-Backed Securities. The fair value of the Partnership’s investment in mortgage-backed securities is based upon prices obtained from a third party pricing service, which are indicative of market activity. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods, incorporates trading activity observed in the market place, and other data inputs. The methodology also considers the underlying characteristics of each security, which are also observable inputs, including: coupon; maturity date; loan age; reset date; collateral type; geography; and prepayment speeds. The Partnership analyzes pricing data received from the third party pricing service by comparing it to valuation information obtained from at least one other third party pricing service, ensuring they are within a tolerable range of difference which the Partnership estimates as 7.5%. The General Partner also looks at observations of trading activity in the market place when available. Given these facts, the fair value measurements of the Partnership’s investment in mortgage-backed securities are categorized as Level 2 inputs.

Taxable Bonds. The fair values of the Partnership’s investments in taxable bonds have each been based on a discounted cash flow or yield to maturity analysis. 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, are based largely on unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants.  Additionally, the calculation methodology used by the external sources and the Partnership encompasses 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 looks 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. We validate that the changes in the estimated fair value of the taxable bonds move with the changes in these monitored factors. Given these facts the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investment in taxable bonds is categorized as a Level 3 input.

Interest Rate Derivatives.  The effect of the Partnership’s interest rate caps 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 swap 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 interest rate derivatives are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense.  The fair value of the interest rate derivatives is based on a model whose inputs are not observable and therefore are 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.

The Partnership calculates a fair value of each financial instrument using a discounted cash flow model based on the debt amortization schedules at the effective rate of interest for each period represented. This estimate of fair value is based on Level 3 inputs. The table below represents the fair value of the debt held on the condensed consolidated balance sheet on September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

16. 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 Company’s 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 Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

As part of the Partnership’s strategy of acquiring mortgage revenue bonds, the Partnership will enter into bond purchase commitments related to mortgage revenue bonds to be issued and secured by properties under construction. Upon execution of the bond purchase commitment, the proceeds from the mortgage revenue bonds issued will be used to pay off the construction related debt and mortgage revenue bonds. The Partnership accounts for the following four Bond Purchase Commitments as available-for-sale securities and, as such, records the estimated value of the Bond Purchase Commitments as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.

On September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the Bond Purchase Commitments outstanding and the related fair values are as follows:

(1) The closing date is actual and estimated.

The Partnership provided a guarantee on the $2.8 million mortgage secured by the Abbington at Stones River, a 96 unit multifamily property located in Tennessee, in addition to providing the approximately $1.6 million property loan to Foundation for Affordable Housing, the not-for-profit owner of the property. Based on the historical financial performance of the property and its estimated fair value, the Partnership estimates there is no value to record for this mortgage guarantee.

Table of Contents

As the holder of residual interests issued in connection with its TEBS and TOB bond 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 mortgage revenue bonds 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 will step in first on an immediate basis and the Partnership will have 10 to 14 days to remedy. In each of these cases, the trust will be collapsed. If the proceeds from the sale of the trust collateral are not sufficient to pay the principal amount of the senior securities with accrued interest and the other expenses of the trusts, the Partnership will be required to fund any such shortfall pursuant to its guarantee. In the event of a shortfall the maximum exposure to loss would be approximately $447.6 million prior to the consideration of the proceeds from the sale of the trust collateral. The Partnership has never been required to reimburse the financing facilities for any shortfall.

In connection with the sale of the Greens Property, the Partnership entered into guarantee agreements with the BC Partners 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 the BC Partners if certain “repurchase events” occur. A repurchase event is defined as any one of a number of events mainly focused on the completion of the property rehabilitation, property rent stabilization, the delivery of LIHTCs, 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, 2015, under the guarantee provision of the repurchase clause is approximately $1.3 million which represents 75% of the equity contributed by BC Partners to date.

In connection with the Ohio Properties transaction in 2011, the Partnership entered into guarantee agreements with the BC Partners under which the Partnership has guaranteed certain obligations of the general partner of these limited partnerships, including an obligation to repurchase the interests of the BC Partners if certain “repurchase events” occur. A repurchase event is defined as any one of a number of events mainly focused on the completion of the property rehabilitation, property rent stabilization, the delivery of LIHTCs, tax credit recapture and foreclosure. Even if a repurchase event should occur, 25% of the BC equity would remain in the Ohio Properties and thus BC, a third party, has equity in the Ohio Properties. 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, 2015, under the guarantee provision of the repurchase clause is approximately $4.8 million which represents 75% of the equity contributed by BC Partners.

17. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)”, to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments in a business combination. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments in the ASU 2015-16 guidance eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2015-14 supersedes the Update 2014-09 by extending the effective date for all entities by one year. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in the exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015 the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for public business entities was revised to annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03 (ASU 2015-03), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements to present such costs as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of debt issuance costs will be reported as interest expense. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Partnership is still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidations (Topic 810) (ASU 2015-02).  This ASU amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under US GAAP.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.  The Partnership is still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

18. Subsequent Events

In October 2015, ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, has committed to loan approximately $17.0 million to Vantage Capital Investors, LLC (“Vantage Capital”), an unrelated third party. The money will be used to begin building a new 288 unit multifamily residential property in San Antonio, Texas and a new 288 unit multifamily residential property in New Braunfels, Texas. The Partnership will report this as a note receivable in Other Assets on its condensed consolidated financial statements on December 31, 2015.

19.  Segments

Effective in the second quarter of 2015, the Company changed its reportable segments due to the classification of the Company’s Consolidated VIEs as discontinued operations. As a result, the Company now consists of four reportable segments: Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments, MF Properties, Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, and MBS Investments. In addition to the four reportable segments, the Company also separately reports its consolidation and elimination information because it does not allocate certain items to the segments.

Historically, the Company also had the Consolidated VIE segment, which was comprised of the results of operations of the underlying collateral for the related mortgage revenue bonds. The Company concluded its investment in the Consolidated VIE segment was not consistent with the Company’s portfolio of assets, (see Note 1). As such, the Company decided to implement a strategic shift in direction by discontinuing its Consolidated VIE segment. This decision was made for the following reasons:
The risk profile of the Consolidated VIE segment was unique as the substance of the investment was the result of the operations of the underlying properties and not the mortgage revenue bonds (which is the form of the investment).The risk profile includes:
The underlying properties thin capitalization,
Related party ownership groups, and
The lack of ultimate decision-making authority.
The stated purpose of the Company was not to manage properties without having some type of ownership or ability to control the underlying property.
Subsequent to the disposition of the Consolidated VIE properties by their owners, the Company does not plan to include this type of investment as part of its strategic direction.

As such, in April 2015, the Partnership entered into separate brokerage contracts to sell Bent Tree and Fairmont Oaks. As a result, these entities met the criteria for discontinued operations presentation, and have been classified as such in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The Consolidated VIEs no longer meet the criteria for segment reporting, therefore are no longer presented as a segment (see Notes 1, 3, 7, and 9).

Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments Segment

The Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments segment consists of the Partnership’s portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for Residential Properties and commercial properties in their market areas.  Such mortgage revenue bonds are held as long-term investments.  On September 30, 2015, the Partnership held fifty-nine mortgage revenue bonds, two of which are bonds that are eliminated in consolidation and were reported as Assets held for sale on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Residential Properties financed by fifty-three mortgage revenue bonds contain a total of 7,332 rental units. In addition, two of the bonds’ properties are not operational and are under construction and two bonds are collateralized by commercial real estate (see Note 4).

MF Properties Segment

The MF Properties segment consists of indirect equity interests in multifamily, student housing, and senior citizen residential properties which are not currently financed by mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership but which the Partnership eventually intends to finance by such bonds through a restructuring.  In connection with any such restructuring, the Partnership will be required to dispose of any equity interest held in such MF Properties.  The Partnership’s interests in its current MF Properties are not currently classified as Assets held for sale because the Partnership is not actively marketing them for sale, there is no definitive purchase agreement in existence that, under current guidance, can be recognized as a sale of real estate assets and, therefore, no sale is expected in the next twelve months.  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.  Any such cash distribution will contribute to the Partnership’s CAD.  On September 30, 2015, the Partnership consolidated the results of eight MF Properties containing a total of 2,216 rental units (see Note 7).

Other Investments

The Amended and Restated LP Agreement authorizes the Partnership to make investments other than in mortgage revenue bonds. 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 currently owns other investments, PHC Certificates and MBS, which are reported as two separate segments.
The PHC Trusts segment consists of the assets, liabilities, and related income and expenses of the PHC Trusts. The Partnership consolidates the PHC Trusts due to its ownership of the LIFERS issued by the three PHC Trusts, which hold 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 the HUD under HUD’s Capital Fund Program established under the Capital Fund Program.

The MBS segment consists of the assets, liabilities, and related income and expenses of the MBS TOB Trusts that the Partnership consolidated due to its ownership of the LIFERs issued by the MBS TOB Trusts. These MBS TOB Trusts are securitizations of state-issued mortgage-backed securities which are backed by residential mortgage loans. These investments were acquired during the fourth quarter of 2012 through the second quarter of 2013 and all but three MBS were sold in 2014.

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

In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the “Partnership” refers to America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. and its Consolidated Subsidiaries at September 30, 2015. The “Company” refers to the Partnership and the Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). See Note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s critical accounting policies are the same as those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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.

Executive Summary

The following table compares net income for the Partnership for the periods indicated:

The changes reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were related to an increase in the investment portfolio which was leveraged for the purpose of enhancing investor returns and realizing sales and redemptions of investments to deploy into alternative investment opportunities.
The summary of the Partnership’s comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2015 with the three months ended September 30, 2014 is as follows:
The Partnership reported approximately $2.5 million in additional recurring investment income offset by approximately $3.1 million of interest expense, administrative fees, and professional fees. The recurring investment income was offset by reductions due to the sale of the MBS Securities in 2014.
The Partnership has interests in multifamily, student, and senior citizen residential properties (“MF Properties”), one of which is Glynn Place which was sold in August 2015 and resulted in an approximately $1.2 million of reported gain on the sale. Offsetting this gain was approximately $900,000 less net operating income related to the MF Properties operations which were sold, the one time real estate operating expenses related to the Suites on Paseo becoming an MF Property in September 2015 and the real estate tax accrual for The 50/50 in 2015 due to its first full year of operation.
The summary of the Partnership’s comparison for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 with the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is as follows:
The Partnership reported approximately $7.4 million of additional recurring investment income and approximately $6.8 million of additional interest expense, administrative fees and professional fees. The recurring investment income was offset by reductions due to the sale of the MBS Securities in 2014 and approximately $3.7 million gain on mortgage revenue bond sales and redemptions reported in 2014.
The Partnership sold Glynn Place and The Colonial, both MF Properties, in 2015 which resulted in approximately $4.6 million of reported gain. Offsetting this gain was approximately $1.5 million less net operating income related to the MF Properties operations which were sold, the one time expenses related to the Suites on Paseo becoming an MF Property in September 2015 and the real estate tax accrual for The 50/50 in 2015 due to its first full year of operation.

In May 2015, the Partnership obtained a $50.0 million Line of Credit (“LOC”) which will be used as a short-term financing facility to purchase additional portfolio investments. For additional discussion, see Note 10 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Partnership reported approximately $7.4 million in additional recurring total revenue when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This is due to the additional mortgage revenue bonds of approximately $109.8 million net par value added to the portfolio. Offsetting this increase was an approximate $2.8 million gain from the Lost Creek mortgage revenue bond redemption and an approximate $873,000 gain from the Autumn Pines mortgage revenue bond sale during the first nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition, when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2015 with the nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately $6.8 million of the increase in total expenses was directly related to increased borrowings, the adjustment of the derivatives to fair value, and increased administrative fees and professional fees.

Discussion of the Public Housing Capital (“PHC”) Trusts on September 30, 2015

As discussed in Notes 5 and 19 in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, the terms of the Amended and Restated LP Agreement allow investments in addition to mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership. The Partnership must limit its investment in these other securities to the extent necessary to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the aggregate book value of these other securities may not exceed 25% of the total assets of the Partnership.

The PHC Certificates consist of custodial receipts evidencing loans made to a number of public housing authorities.

The slight decrease in total revenues when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2015, to the same period in 2014, was the result of the principal reductions of the PHC Trust holdings owned by the Partnership. The slight increase in net income when comparing the same periods was related to less interest expense due to the reduction in related borrowings.

Discussion of the Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”) on September 30, 2015

As discussed in Notes 6 and 19 in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, the third type of security owned by the Partnership is MBS securities. At September 30, 2015, the Partnership owned state-issued MBS securities with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $14.7 million.

The decrease in total revenue and net income when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2015, to the same period in 2014, resulted from the change in prospective premium amortization of MBS Securities and the sale of approximately $24.6 million par value of the MBS securities during 2014 and the premium amortization related to the MBS Securities.

Discussion of the MF Properties on September 30, 2015
 
As discussed in Notes 7 and 19 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, to facilitate its investment strategy of acquiring additional mortgage revenue bonds secured by multifamily, student, and senior citizen residential properties, the Partnership may acquire ownership positions in MF Properties with the intent to restructure the property ownership through a sale of the MF Properties.

At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Partnership’s consolidated subsidiaries owned eight MF Properties which contain a total of 2,216 and 2,233 rental units, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Partnership included The 50/50 MF Property that began leasing in August 2014, the Suites on Paseo that became an MF Property in September 2015, and did not include Glynn Place and The Colonial beyond the August and May 2015 sale dates, respectively. The increase in income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is attributable, for the most part, to a gain of approximately $4.6 million reported on the sale of Glynn Place and The Colonial in 2015. Excluding this gain from the sale of Glynn Place and The Colonial, the increase in the loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was attributable, for the most part, to the completion of The 50/50 MF Property in August 2014 and the Suites on Paseo added to the MF Properties in September 2015. During 2015, The 50/50 MF Property began to accrue real estate taxes and the Suites on Paseo incurred one time acquisition and accrued expenses.

America First Properties Management Company (“Properties Management”), an affiliate of AFCA 2, provides property management services for seven of the MF Properties and seven of the properties collateralized by the mortgage revenue bonds.  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. Two of the managed properties are Consolidated VIEs and are reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented.

The following tables outline certain information regarding the Residential Properties on which the Partnership holds mortgage revenue bonds as investments and owns the MF Properties. The table does not include information on the two Consolidated VIEs that are reported as discontinued operations for the periods presented. The narrative discussion that follows provides a brief operating analysis of each category for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, 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 on September 30, 2015.

(1) 
Total revenue is defined as net rental revenue plus other income from properties operations.
(2) 
Economic occupancy is presented for September 30, 2015 and 2014, and is defined as the net rental income received divided by the maximum amount of rental income to be derived from each property. This statistic is reflective of rental concessions, delinquent rents and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units. Actual 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) 
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.
(4) 
The Partnership holds approximately $17.9 million of mortgage revenue bonds 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) 
Previous period occupancy numbers were not available as these were new investments.
(6) 
Previous period occupancy numbers are not available as these properties were being renovated in 2014.

Table of Contents

When comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, total revenue and net operating income of the stabilized non-consolidated properties had increased. The increase is the result of three factors: renovated properties, new investments, and existing properties. The properties which were renovated in 2014 and are now stabilized contribute approximately 44% of the increase in total revenue and approximately 44% of the increase in net operating income. The underlying properties that collateralize the new mortgage revenue bonds contribute approximately 46% of the increase in total revenue and approximately 43% of the increase in net operating income. Lastly, the existing properties contribute the remaining 10% of the increase in total revenue and 13% of the increase in net operating income. The increase in net operating income is the result of an increase in other income, mainly cable/television commission and a decrease in utility, real estate tax, and insurance expense.

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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, these Residential Properties have not met the stabilization criteria (see footnote 3 below the table). On September 30, 2015, debt service on the Partnership’s bonds for the non-consolidated properties which are not stabilized was current.

Total revenue is defined as net rental revenue plus other income from properties operations.
(2) 
Economic occupancy is presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and is defined as the net rental income received divided by the maximum amount of rental income to be derived from each property. This statistic is reflective of rental concessions, delinquent rents and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units. Actual 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) 
During 2015, 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.
(4) 
Previous period occupancy numbers are not available as these are new investments.
(5) 
Previous period occupancy numbers are not available as this property was being renovated in 2014.
 
When comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, total revenue and net operating income of the non-stabilized non-consolidated properties increased as new collateral was added to the property portfolio with the purchase of approximately $132.0 million of new mortgage revenue bonds. The underlying properties that collateralize these mortgage revenue bonds were either under renovation or have not fully stabilized. Glenview Apartments, Montclair Apartments, Santa Fe Apartments and Heritage Square were purchased in the period between July 1 and December 31, 2014, while Seasons at Simi Valley, Silver Moon, Concord at Gulfgate, Concord at Little York, Concord at Williamcrest, Avistar at the Parkway, and Vantage at Harlingen were purchased or construction was completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

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 all MF Properties that are not student housing residential properties. Suites on Paseo, Eagle Village, Northern View, and The 50/50 MF Property are student housing residential properties.
(4) 
Previous period revenue, net operating income and occupancy numbers are not available as these properties were being renovated in 2014.

When comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, total revenue of the stabilized MF Properties and student housing residential properties increased approximately 28% while the net operating income increased approximately 16%. Approximately 59% of the increase in net operating income was due to the completion and lease-up of The 50/50 MF Property in August 2014. The remaining increase is due to improved overall economic occupancy reported by the remaining stabilized MF Properties.

In September 2015, the owner of the Suites on Paseo property and the Partnership mutually agreed to exchange the deed for the Suites on Paseo property, a California property, in exchange for the par value Series A and B mortgage revenue bonds plus accrued interest. See Notes 4, 7, and 8 in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements which are incorporated by reference herein.

Discussion of the Total Revenues For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Property revenues. Property revenues consist of revenue from multifamily, student housing, and senior citizen residential properties which are not currently financed by mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership but which the Partnership eventually intends to finance by such bonds through a restructuring. When comparing the three months ended September 30, 2015 with the three months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 49% of the net property revenue increase was due to the completion and lease-up of The 50/50 MF Property in August 2014 and the addition of the Suites on Paseo, an MF Property, in September 2015. Due to the sale of Glynn Place and The Colonial in 2015, the Partnership reported a reduction of approximately 36% when comparing the two periods. The MF Properties reported an average monthly rent of approximately $605 per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared with $585 per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Investment income. The interest income received by the Partnership from its mortgage revenue bonds is dependent upon the net cash flow of the underlying properties. Base interest income on fully performing mortgage revenue bonds is recognized as it is earned. When comparing the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Partnership realized an approximately $2.1 million increase in recurring investment income on an approximately $109.8 million net increase in the par value of the investment portfolio.

Gains on the sales and redemption of MF Property and mortgage revenue bonds. The Partnership sold Glynn Place, an MF Property, in August 2015 which resulted in a gain of approximately $1.2 million. There were no MF Property sales during 2014.

Discussion of the Total Revenues For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Property revenues. When comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2015 with the nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 70% of the net property revenue increase was due to the completion and lease-up of The 50/50 MF Property in August 2014 and the addition of the Suites on Paseo, an MF Property, in September 2015. Due to the sale of Glynn Place and The Colonial in 2015, the Partnership reported a reduction of approximately 16% when comparing the two periods. The MF Properties reported an average monthly rent of approximately $611 per unit for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared with $584 per unit in for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Investment income. When comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Partnership realized an increase of approximately $7.4 million in recurring investment income. This is predominately due to a net increase of approximately $109.8 million in the par value of the underlying securities held by the Partnership at September 30, 2015.

Gains on the sales and redemption of MF Property and mortgage revenue bonds. The Partnership sold The Colonial and Glynn Place, MF Properties, in 2015 which resulted in a gain of approximately $4.6 million. There were no MF Property sales during 2014. However, in April 2014, the Autumn Pines mortgage revenue bond was sold at a gain of approximately $873,000. In addition, the Lost Creek mortgage revenue bond was redeemed and a gain of approximately $2.8 million was recognized. There was no gain realized on the sale of mortgage revenue bonds during 2015.

Discussion of the Total Expenses For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Real estate operating expenses.  Real estate operating expenses associated with the MF Properties 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. A portion of real estate operating expenses are fixed in nature, thus a decrease in physical and economic occupancy would result in a reduction in operating margins. When comparing the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately $1.0 million of the net increase in real estate operating expenses was directly related to one month of operations for the Suites on Paseo, which became an MF Property in September 2015, and three months of real estate tax accrual for The 50/50 MF Property in 2015 which began lease-up in August 2014. Offsetting this increase was a decrease of approximately $333,000 related to the sale of Glynn Place and The Colonial in 2015. The remaining changes were attributable to decreases in salaries, utilities, and management fees due to normal property operations.

Recovery of loss on receivables. The Partnership did not receive its entire interest payment due on June 1, 2015 from the Suites on Paseo. The Partnership issued a forbearance agreement for the accrued interest due on June 1, 2015, but not yet paid, until September 1, 2015. The Partnership evaluated the collectability of its interest receivable and determined the interest accrued on the Suites on Paseo Series B bond was not collectible on June 30, 2015. When the Suites on Paseo became an MF Property, the Partnership reversed the allowance for the accrued interest receivable on the Series B interest of approximately $98,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as the estimated impairment no longer existed. There was no similar transaction recorded during 2014 as the Series B bonds were not purchased until March 2015.

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation results from the ownership of real estate investments in the MF Properties portfolio. Amortization consists of in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the acquisition-method of accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties and deferred finance cost amortization related to the closing of the TEBS M24, M31, M33 and TOB Credit Facilities. Approximately $317,000 of the net increase in depreciation and amortization was related to The 50/50 MF Property which was placed in service in August 2014 and the addition of the Suites on Paseo in September 2015. Offsetting this increase was a decrease of approximately $230,000 related to the sale of The Colonial and Glynn Place in 2015. The majority of the remaining increase is related to the additional amortization expense reported on the Partnership’s financing facilities.


57

Table of Contents

Interest expense. Interest expense is impacted by the change in the mark to market adjustment of the Partnership's derivatives, changes in variable interest rates and the increase/decrease in the average outstanding Partnership debt. The interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, as such, are carried at their fair value. Changes in fair value of the interest rate derivatives are included in current period earnings and reflected within interest expense. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, was approximately $2.2 million. This was the result of an increase of approximately $917,000 in interest expense related to the $146.7 million increase in average debt outstanding. The Partnership’s borrowing cost averaged approximately 2.5% per annum for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to approximately 2.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This resulted in an increase of approximately $101,000 in additional interest expense. In addition there was an increase of approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014 due to the change in the mark to market adjustment of the Partnership’s derivatives.

General and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in administrative fees payable to AFCA 2 related to the acquisition of the mortgage revenue bonds, increased professional fees, and consent solicitation expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Discussion of the Total Expenses For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Real estate operating expenses.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately $2.4 million of the net increase in real estate operating expenses was directly related to one month of operations for the Suites on Paseo, which became an MF Property in September 2015, and The 50/50 MF Property which began lease-up in August 2014. Offsetting this increase was a decrease of approximately $494,000 related to the sale of Glynn Place and The Colonial in 2015. The remaining changes were mostly related to changes in salaries, utilities, and management fees due to normal property operations.

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Approximately $1.2 million of the net increase in depreciation and amortization was related to The 50/50 MF Property which was placed in service in August 2014 and the addition of the Suites on Paseo in September 2015. Offsetting this increase was a decrease of approximately $294,000 related to the sale of The Colonial and Glynn Place in 2015. The majority of the remaining increase is related to the additional amortization expense related to on the Partnership’s financing facilities.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014, was approximately $4.7 million. This was the result of an increase of approximately $2.8 million in interest expense related to the $142.5 million increase in average debt outstanding. The Partnership’s borrowing cost averaged approximately 2.6% per annum for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to approximately 2.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in interest rate resulted in approximately $642,000 in additional interest expense. In addition, there was an increase of approximately $1.2 million due to the change in the mark to market adjustment of the Partnership’s derivatives when comparing the two periods.

General and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mostly due to increased administrative fees payable to AFCA 2 related to the acquisition of the mortgage revenue bonds, increased professional fees, and consent solicitation expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Discussion of Net Income From Discontinued Operations For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

In April 2015, separate brokerage contracts were executed to list the Consolidated VIEs, Bent Tree and Fairmont Oaks, for sale. As a result, management has determined these Consolidated VIEs met the criteria for discontinued operations presentation and have been classified as such in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Pursuant to accounting guidance, on the date the brokerage contracts were executed depreciation on the discontinued operations ceased. As such, the change in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 resulted as no depreciation was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2015 for these properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Interest earned on the mortgage revenue bonds, interest earned and reported as discontinued operations, and mortgage investment income earned on the PHC Certificates and the MBS represents the Partnership’s principal source of cash flow.  The Partnership may also receive interest payments on its property loans, earnings on temporary investments and cash distributions from equity interests held in MF Properties.  Interest is primarily comprised of fixed rate base interest payments received on the Partnership’s mortgage revenue bonds, PHC Certificates and MBS which provides fairly constant cash receipts.  Certain of the mortgage revenue bonds may also generate payments of contingent interest to the Partnership from time to time when the underlying Residential Properties generate excess cash flow.  In addition, the Partnership’s cash is affected when it acquires or disposes of its investments in mortgage revenue bonds.  For additional details, see the Cash Flows from Investing Activities section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows which are incorporated by reference herein.

Similarly, the economic performance of MF Properties will affect the amount of cash distributions, if any, received by the Partnership from its ownership of these properties.  The economic performance of the Residential Properties depends on the rental and occupancy rates of the property and on the level of operating expenses. For discussions related to economic risk, see the Market Opportunities section below and also Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Other sources of cash available to the Partnership included proceeds from debt financing, mortgages, and the sale of additional Partnership securities.  On September 30, 2015, the Partnership had outstanding LOCs of approximately $6.4 million, debt financing of approximately $447.6 million under separate credit facilities, and mortgages of approximately $68.5 million secured by six MF Properties.

The Consolidated VIEs’, which are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and MF Properties’ primary uses of cash are: (i) the payment of general, administrative, and operating expenses; (ii) the payment of interest and principal on debt and mortgage financing facilities; and (iii) the payment of distributions to the Unitholders. The Partnership also uses cash to acquire additional investments. 

(i) Payment of general, administrative, and operating expenses
The Consolidated VIEs’, which are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and MF Properties’ primary uses of cash were for operating expenses. The Partnership also uses cash for general and administrative expenses and to acquire additional investments. For discussions related to economic risk, see the Market Opportunities and Challenges section below and also Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. For additional details, see the Cash Flows from Operating Activities section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows which are incorporated by reference herein.

Table of Contents

(ii) Payment of interest and principal on debt and mortgage financing facilities
The Partnership utilizes leverage for the purpose of enhancing investor returns. Management uses target constraints for each type of short term financing utilized by the Partnership to manage an overall 65% leverage constraint. The amount of leverage utilized is dependent upon several factors, including the assets being leveraged, the tenor of the leverage program, whether the financing is subject to market collateral calls, and the liquidity and marketability of the financing collateral. While short term variations from targeted levels may occur within financing classes, overall Partnership leverage will not exceed 65%. On September 30, 2015 the overall leverage constraint of the Partnership, total outstanding debt divided by total partnership assets using the par value of the mortgage revenue bonds and the MF Properties at cost, was approximately 64%. For additional details, see the Cash Flows from Financing Activities section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows which are incorporated by reference herein.

On September 30, 2015, the total costs of borrowing by investment type were as follows:
range between approximately 2.2% and 3.5% for the LOCs;
range between approximately 1.3% and 2.0% for the M24, M31, and M33 TEBS facilities;
range between approximately 2.8% and 4.5% for the TOB Trusts securitized by mortgage revenue bonds;
approximately 1.1% for the MBS TOB Trusts;
approximately 2.3% for the PHC Trust Certificates TOB Trusts; and
approximately 2.9% to 4.8% for the MF Property mortgages.

(iii) Payment of distributions to the Unitholders
Distributions to the Unitholders may increase or decrease at the determination of the General Partner.  The per unit cash available for distribution primarily depends on the amount of interest and other cash received by the Partnership from its portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds and other investments, the amount of the Partnership’s outstanding debt and the effective interest rates paid by the Partnership on this debt, the level of operating and other cash expenses incurred by the Partnership and the number of units outstanding. See additional discussion and details in the Cash Available for Distribution section below.

The Partnership has made annual cash distributions of $0.50 per unit since 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Partnership’s realized CAD per unit was $0.34. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the realized CAD per unit was less than the cash distribution of $0.50 per unit. As such the Partnership paid approximately $6.0 million of the distributions for 2014 using unrestricted cash to supplement the deficit which was considered to be a return of capital to its Unitholders.

The Partnership continues to work with the Partnership’s primary lenders to finance a portion of the acquisition of mortgage revenue bonds and believes that upon completion of its current investment and financing plans, the Partnership will be able to generate sufficient CAD to maintain cash distributions to the Unitholders at the current level of $0.50 per unit per year without the use of other available cash. However, if leverage plans are delayed, actual results may vary from current projections. If the actual CAD generated continues to be less than the regular distribution to shareholders, such distribution amount may need to be reduced. There is no assurance that the Partnership will be able to generate CAD at levels in excess of the current annual distribution rate. See additional discussion in the “Cash Available for Distributions” section below.

Market Opportunities and Challenges

The management of the Partnership believes the current credit environment continues to create opportunities to acquire existing mortgage revenue bonds from distressed holders at attractive yields.  The Partnership continues to evaluate potential investments in mortgage revenue bonds which are available on the secondary market.  The Partnership believes many of these bonds will meet its investment criteria and that the Partnership has a unique ability to analyze and close on these opportunities while maintaining an ability and willingness to also participate in primary market transactions.
 
Current credit and real estate market conditions may also create opportunities to acquire quality MF Properties.  The Partnership’s ability to restructure existing debt together with the ability to improve the operations of the multifamily residential properties through our affiliated property management company can position these MF Properties for an eventual financing with mortgage revenue bonds.  The management of the Partnership believes they can selectively acquire MF Properties, restructure debt and improve operations in order to create value to the Unitholders in the form of a strong mortgage bond investment.

On the other hand, continued economic weakness in some markets may limit the Partnership’s ability to access additional debt financing that the Partnership uses to partially finance its investment portfolio or otherwise meet its liquidity requirements.  Occupancy rates and rents are directly affected by the supply of, and demand for, multifamily residential properties 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 multifamily residential property construction and the affordability of single-family homes.  In addition, factors such as government regulation (including zoning laws), inflation, real estate and other taxes, labor problems and natural disasters can affect the economic operations of a multifamily residential property.  

Some properties have experienced a loss of occupancy due to market conditions. Overall economic occupancy (which is adjusted to reflect rental concessions, delinquent rents, and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units) of the stabilized Residential Properties that the Partnership has financed with mortgage revenue bonds was approximately 90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.  Overall economic occupancy of the stabilized MF Properties was approximately 89% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and approximately 86% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Based on the growth statistics in the markets in which these properties operate, the Partnership expects to see a modest improvement in property operations and profitability.

Cash Available for Distribution

Management utilizes a calculation of CAD as a means to determine the Partnership’s ability to make distributions to Unitholders.  The General Partner believes that CAD provides relevant information about its operations and is necessary along with net income for understanding its operating results.  To calculate CAD, the Partnership adds back non-cash expenses consisting of amortization expense related to debt financing costs and bond reissuance costs, interest rate derivative expense or income, provision for loan losses, impairments on bonds, losses related to VIEs including depreciation expense, and income received in cash from transactions which have been eliminated in consolidation, to the Partnership’s net income (loss) as computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and deducts Tier 2 income attributable to the General Partner 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 its operating performance, CAD is a non-GAAP measure that should not be considered as an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities which are calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measures of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

(1) As described in Note 2 to the Company’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 unitholders and 25% to the General Partner. This adjustment represents the 25% of Tier 2 income due to the General Partner. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Partnership reported the sale of Glynn Place and The Colonial which resulted in an approximately $1.2 million and $3.4 million gain, respectively, and 25% of Tier 2 income due to the General Partner is approximately $297,000 and $854,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Partnership realized the sale of the Autumn Pines bond which resulted in an approximate $873,000 gain and Tier 2 income due to the General Partner of approximately $218,000 and realized the redemption of the Lost Creek bond which resulted in an approximate $2.8 million gain and Tier 2 income due to the General Partner of approximately $709,000.
(2) The developer income amount represents cash received by the Partnership for developer and construction management services performed on the 50/50 MF Property mixed-use project in Lincoln, Nebraska.  The development at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln is accounted for as an MF property and the cash received for these fees has been eliminated within the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  For purposes of CAD, management is treating these fees as if received from an unconsolidated entity.

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 Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) at 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, at the end of such period, the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company 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 Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’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 Company’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 Company’s most recent fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
