Forward-Looking Statements

This report (including, but not limited to, the information contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”) contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used, statements which are not historical in nature, including those containing words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. This report also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other industry data. This data involves several assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this report, and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness. 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 heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of America First Multifamily Investors, L.P.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in this report.

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

 

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

 

defaults on the mortgage loans securing our mortgage revenue bonds (“MRBs”) and governmental issuer loans (“GILs”);

 

the competitive environment in which we operate;

 

risks associated with investing in multifamily, student, senior citizen residential properties and commercial properties;

 

changes in business conditions and the general economy, including the current and future impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) on business operations, employment and government-mandated relief and mitigation measures;

 

changes in interest rates;

 

our ability to use borrowings or obtain capital to finance our assets;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Other risks, uncertainties and factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.

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

AMERICA FIRST MULTIFAMILY INVESTORS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was formed on April 2, 1998, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the purpose of acquiring, holding, selling and otherwise dealing with a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds (“MRBs”) that have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for affordable multifamily and student housing residential properties (collectively “Residential Properties”) and commercial properties. The Partnership has also invested in governmental issuer loans (“GILs”), which are similar to MRBs, to provide construction financing for affordable multifamily properties. The Partnership expects and believes the interest earned on these MRBs and GILs is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.  The Partnership may also invest in other types of securities that may or may not be secured by real estate and may make property loans to multifamily residential properties which may or may not be financed by MRBs or GILs held by the Partnership.   The Partnership may acquire real estate securing its MRBs, GILs, or property loans through foreclosure in the event of a default or through the receipt of a fee simple deed in lieu of foreclosure.  In addition, the Partnership may acquire interests in multifamily, student and senior citizen residential properties (“MF Properties”) in order to position itself for future investments in MRBs that finance these properties or to operate the MF Properties until their “highest and best use” can be determined by management.

The Partnership’s sole general partner is America First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Two (“AFCA 2” or “General Partner”).  The general partner of AFCA 2 is Greystone AF Manager LLC (“Greystone Manager”), an affiliate of Greystone & Co., Inc. (collectively with its affiliates, “Greystone”).  

The Partnership has issued Beneficial Unit Certificates (“BUCs”) representing assigned limited partner interests to investors (“BUC holders”). The Partnership has also issued non-cumulative, non-voting, non-convertible Series A Preferred Units (“Series A Preferred Units”) that represent limited interests in the Partnership under the Partnership’s First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated September 15, 2015, as further amended (the “Partnership Agreement”). The Series A Preferred Units are redeemable in the future and represent limited partnership interests in the Partnership pursuant to subscription agreements with five financial institutions (see Note 20). The holders of the BUCs and Series A Preferred Units are referred to herein collectively as “Unitholders.”     

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The “Partnership,” as used herein, includes America First Multifamily Investors, L.P., its consolidated subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (see Note 5). All intercompany transactions are eliminated.  The consolidated subsidiaries of the Partnership for the periods presented consist of:

 

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

 

ATAX TEBS II, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to hold MRBs to facilitate the M31 TEBS Financing with Freddie Mac;

 

ATAX TEBS III, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to hold MRBs to facilitate the M33 TEBS Financing with Freddie Mac;

 

ATAX TEBS IV, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to hold MRBs to facilitate the M45 TEBS Financing with Freddie Mac;

 

ATAX TEBS Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, which has issued secured notes (“the Secured Notes”) to Mizuho Capital Markets LLC (“Mizuho”);

 

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

 

One wholly owned corporation (“the Greens Hold Co”), which owns 100% of The 50/50 MF Property, a real estate asset, and certain property loans; and

 

The Suites on Paseo MF Property, a real estate asset, is owned directly by the Partnership.

9


 

The Partnership also consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Partnership is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is legally restricted as to its use. The Partnership is required to maintain restricted cash collateral related to its two total return swap transactions (see Note 18). In addition, the Partnership is required to maintain restricted cash balances related to the TEBS Financing facilities, resident security deposits, required maintenance reserves, escrowed funds, and property rehabilitation. Restricted cash is presented with cash and cash equivalents on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Impairment of Mortgage Revenue Bonds

The Partnership periodically reviews its MRBs for impairment.  The Partnership evaluates whether unrealized losses are considered other-than-temporary impairments based on various factors including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:

 

The duration and severity of the decline in fair value;

 

The Partnership’s intent to hold and the likelihood of it being required to sell the security before its value recovers;

 

Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, its collateral, or both;

 

Volatility of the fair value of the security;

 

The likelihood of the borrower being able to make scheduled interest or principal payments;

 

Failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments; and

 

Recoveries or additional declines in fair value after the balance sheet date.

While the Partnership evaluates all available information, it focuses specifically on whether the security’s estimated fair value is below amortized cost. If a MRB’s estimated fair value is below amortized cost, and the Partnership has the intent to sell or may be required to sell the MRB prior to the time that its value recovers or until maturity, the Partnership will record an other-than-temporary impairment through earnings equal to the difference between the MRB’s carrying value and its fair value. If the Partnership does not expect to sell an other-than-temporarily impaired MRB, only the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment related to credit losses is recognized through earnings as a provision for credit loss, with the remainder recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). In determining the provision for credit loss, the Partnership compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to the MRB’s amortized cost basis.

The recognition of other-than-temporary impairment, provision for credit loss, and the potential impairment analysis are subject to a considerable degree of judgment, the results of which, when applied under different conditions or assumptions, could have a material impact on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the Partnership experiences deterioration in the values of its MRB portfolio, the Partnership may incur other-than-temporary impairments or provision for credit losses that could negatively impact the Partnership’s financial condition, cash flows, and reported earnings.

Investment in Governmental Issuer Loans

The Partnership accounts for its investment in governmental issuer loans (“GILs”) under the accounting guidance for certain investments in debt and equity securities.  The Partnership’s investment in these instruments are classified as held-to-maturity debt securities and are reported at amortized cost.

The Partnership periodically reviews its GILs for impairment.  The Partnership evaluates whether unrealized losses are considered other-than-temporary impairments based on various factors including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:

 

The duration and severity of the decline in fair value;

 

Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, its collateral, or both;

 

Volatility of the fair value of the security;

 

The likelihood of the borrower being able to make scheduled interest or principal payments;

 

The failure of the borrower to make scheduled interest or principal payments; and

 

Recoveries or additional declines in fair value after the balance sheet date.

10


 

While the Partnership evaluates all available information, it focuses specifically on whether the security’s estimated fair value is below amortized cost. If a GIL’s estimated fair value is below amortized cost, and the Partnership does not expect to recover its entire amortized cost, only the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment related to credit losses is recognized through earnings as a provision for credit loss, with the remainder recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).  

The recognition of other-than-temporary impairment, provision for credit loss, and the potential impairment analysis are subject to a considerable degree of judgment, the results of which, when applied under different conditions or assumptions, could have a material impact on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the Partnership experiences deterioration in the value of its GILs, the Partnership may incur other-than-temporary impairments or provision for credit losses that could negatively impact the Partnership’s financial condition, cash flows, and reported earnings.

Property Loans, Net of Loan Loss Allowance

The Partnership invests in taxable property loans made to the owners of certain multifamily properties. Most of the property loans have been made to multifamily properties that secure MRBs and GILs owned by the Partnership. The Partnership recognizes interest income on the property loans as earned and the interest income is reported within “Other interest income” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is not recognized for property loans that are deemed to be in nonaccrual status. The repayment of these property loans and accrued interest is dependent largely on the cash flows or proceeds upon sale or refinancing of the related property.  The Partnership periodically evaluates these loans for potential impairment by estimating the fair value of the related property and comparing the fair value to the outstanding MRBs, GILs or other senior financing, plus the Partnership’s property loans.  The Partnership utilizes a discounted cash flow model that considers varying assumptions.  The discounted cash flow analysis may assume multiple revenue and expense scenarios, various capitalization rates, and multiple discount rates.  The Partnership may also consider other information such as independent appraisals in estimating a property’s fair value.

If the estimated fair value of the related property, after deducting the amortized cost basis of the MRB, GIL or other senior financing, exceeds the principal balance of the taxable property loan then no potential loss is indicated and no allowance for loan loss is recorded.  If a potential loss is indicated, an allowance for loan loss is recorded against the outstanding loan amount and a loss is realized.  The determination of the need for an allowance for loan loss is subject to considerable judgment.

Estimates and assumptions

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

 

The Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared consistently with the 2019 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Partnership’s financial position as of September 30, 2020, and the results of operations for the interim periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited annual consolidated financial statements but does not contain all the footnote disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The business and economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has made estimates and assumptions more difficult to calculate. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Partnership’s future operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the impact on the underlying borrowers of MRBs and GILs, tenants at the MF Properties and operations of the Partnership’s investments in unconsolidated entities. In addition, market volatility may cause fluctuations in the valuation of the Partnership’s MRBs, taxable MRBs, GILs, MF Properties and investments in unconsolidated entities. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations in the future is uncertain and actual results and outcomes could differ from current estimates.

As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership has yet to observe a significant decline in occupancy or operating results at properties securing its MRBs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the exception of the Pro Nova 2014-1 and Live 929 Apartments MRBs which are further discussed in Note 6. Furthermore, the Partnership has observed no material negative trends that potentially indicate impairment of The 50/50 MF Property or properties related to its GILs and investments in unconsolidated entities. The Partnership performed an impairment analysis for the Suites at Paseo MF Property due to a significant decline in occupancy as of September 30, 2020 as a result of COVID-19. The Partnership’s estimates of future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset significantly exceeded the carrying value such that the property was not impaired.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).”  ASU 2016-13 enhances the methodology of measuring expected credit losses for financial assets to include the use of reasonable and supportable forward-looking information to better estimate credit losses.  ASU 2016-13 also includes changes to the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities such as the Partnership’s MRBs and taxable MRBs.  In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which amended the mandatory effective dates of certain ASUs, including ASU 2016-13, based on an entity’s filing status.  As a smaller reporting company, the Partnership’s mandatory effective date for ASU 2016-13 is now January 1, 2023, and the Partnership has elected to defer adoption until that date.  The delay in implementing ASU 2016-13 will allow the Partnership to take advantage of any additional guidance that may come out from the FASB on implementing ASU 2016-13. The effective date may be sooner if the Partnership becomes an accelerated filer in the future. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2019-10, the Partnership completed an initial assessment and determined that its property loans, the interest receivable on property loans, receivables reported within other assets, financial guarantees and commitments are within the scope of ASU 2016-13. The Partnership has also determined that the GILs and the interest receivable on GILs are within the scope of ASU 2016-13. Furthermore, the Partnership has begun developing data collection processes, assessment procedures and internal controls required to implement ASU 2016-13. The Partnership will continue to develop data collection processes, assessment procedures and internal controls that will be required when it does implement ASU 2016-13, and to evaluate the impact on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for a limited period meant to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reform to LIBOR and certain other reference rates. The standard is effective for all entities from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. However, ASU 2020-04 is only applicable to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform, and that were entered into or evaluated prior to January 1, 2023. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Partnership Income, Expenses and Cash Distributions  

The Partnership 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 Series A Preferred Units and BUCs held by each Unitholder as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is to be made. Distributions of Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds will be made to each Unitholder of record on the last day of each distribution period based on the number of Series A Preferred Units and BUCs held by each Unitholder on that date.  Cash distributions are currently made on a quarterly basis.

For purposes of the Partnership Agreement, income and cash received by the Partnership from its investments in MF Properties, investments in unconsolidated entities, and property loans will be included in the Partnership’s Net Interest Income, and cash distributions received by the Partnership from the sale or redemption of such investments will be included in the Partnership’s Net Residual Proceeds.  

The holders of the Series A Preferred Units are entitled to distributions at a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum prior to payment of distributions to other Unitholders.

 

Net Interest Income (Tier 1) is allocated 99% to the limited partners and BUC holders as a class and 1% to the General Partner. Net Interest Income (Tier 2) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 2) are allocated 75% to the limited partners and BUC holders as a class and 25% to the General Partner.  Net Interest Income (Tier 2) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 2) in excess of the maximum allowable amount as set forth in the Partnership Agreement are considered Net Interest Income (Tier 3) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 3) and are allocated 100% to the limited partners and BUC holders as a class.

 

12


 

4. Net income per BUC

The Partnership has disclosed basic and diluted net income per BUC on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unvested Restricted Unit Awards (“RUAs”) issued under the Partnership’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) are considered participating securities. There were no dilutive BUCs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

5. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

The Partnership has determined the Tender Option Bond (“TOB”), Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings are VIEs and the Partnership is the primary beneficiary (see Note 16). In determining the primary beneficiary of each VIE, the Partnership considered which party has the power to control the activities of the VIE which most significantly impact its financial performance, the risks that the entity was designed to create, and how each risk affects the VIE.  The executed agreements related to the TOB, Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings stipulate the Partnership has the sole right to cause the trusts to sell the underlying assets. If the underlying assets were sold, the extent to which the VIEs will be exposed to gains or losses would result from decisions made by the Partnership.

As the primary beneficiary, the Partnership reports the TOB, Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings on a consolidated basis. The Partnership reports the Floater Certificates related to the TOB Financings, and the Class A Certificates related to the Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings as secured debt financings on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The MRBs, GILs, and property loans secured by the TOB, Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings, and the PHCs secured by the TOB Financings, are reported as assets on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Notes 6, 7, 8 and 11).

Non-Consolidated VIEs

The Partnership has variable interests in various entities in the form of MRBs, GILs, property loans and investments in unconsolidated entities. These variable interests do not allow the Partnership to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of such VIEs. As a result, the Partnership is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the financial statements of these VIEs in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Partnership held variable interests in 20 and 17 non-consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The following table summarizes the Partnership’s variable interests in these entities and maximum exposure to loss as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The maximum exposure to loss for the MRBs is equal to the cost adjusted for paydowns. The difference between an MRB’s carrying value on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and the maximum exposure to loss is a function of the unrealized gains or losses on the MRB. 

 

The maximum exposure to loss for GILs, property loans and investments in unconsolidated entities is equal to the Partnership’s carrying value.

6. Investments in Mortgage Revenue Bonds

MRBs owned by the Partnership provide construction and/or permanent financing for Residential Properties and a commercial property.  MRBs are either held directly by the Partnership or are held in trusts created in connection with debt financing transactions (see Note 16). All MRBs are current on contractual debt service as of September 30, 2020. The Partnership had the following investments in MRBs as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

See Note 23 for a description of the methodology and significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the MRBs. Unrealized gains or losses on the MRBs are recorded in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income to reflect changes in their estimated fair values resulting from market conditions and fluctuations in the present value of the expected cash flows.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Partnership recognized a provision for credit loss of approximately $3.5 million related to the Live 929 Apartments MRB in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Partnership recognized a provision for credit loss of approximately $5.3 million related to the Live 929 Apartments MRB and the Pro Nova 2014-1 MRB in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 2 for information considered in the Partnership’s evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment and provision for credit loss of the MRBs.

 

The provision for credit loss related to the Live 929 Apartments MRB was due to recent operational results, the borrower’s continued covenant forbearance, and a decline in debt service coverage. The change in operating results at the Live 929 Apartments was primarily driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a significant impact on the student housing industry. The provision for credit loss related to the Pro Nova 2014-1 MRB was due to debt service shortfalls by the underlying commercial property, the borrower’s request for forbearance, and the general creditworthiness of proton therapy centers in the United States, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

7. Governmental Issuer Loans

 

Governmental issuer loans (“GILs”) owned by the Partnership are issued by state governmental authorities to provide construction financing for affordable multifamily properties. The Partnership expects and believes the interest earned on the GILs is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The GILs do not constitute an obligation of any state government, agency or

18


 

authority and no state government, agency or authority is liable for them, nor is the taxing power of any state government pledged to the payment of principal or interest on the GILs. The GILs are secured by the borrower’s non-recourse obligation evidenced by a mortgage on all real and personal property associated with the underlying property. The sole source of the funds to pay principal and interest on the GILs is the net cash flow or the sale or refinancing proceeds from the underlying property. The GILs share a first mortgage lien position with the associated property loans also owned by the Partnership (see Note 11). The GILs are held in trust in connection with TOB Trust financing (see Note 16). The Partnership has committed to provide total funding for certain GILs on a draw-down basis during construction. The Partnership had the following investments and remaining funding commitments related to its GILs as of September 30, 2020:

An affiliate of the Partnership has forward committed to purchase the GILs at maturity if the property has reached stabilization and other conditions are met (see Note 22). Affiliates of the borrower have guaranteed payment of principal and accrued interest on the GILs of 100% at origination, decreasing to 50% upon receipt of the certificate of occupancy, and decreasing to 25% upon achievement of 90% occupancy for 30 consecutive days.

 

 

8. Public Housing Capital Fund Trust (“PHC”) Certificates

The Partnership’s PHC Certificates represented beneficial interests in three PHC Trusts that consisted of custodial receipts evidencing loans made to numerous local public housing authorities.  Principal and interest on these loans were payable by the respective public housing authorities out of annual appropriations to be made to the public housing authorities under the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (“HUD”) Capital Fund Program established under the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (the “Capital Fund Program”).  

On January 30, 2020, the Partnership sold its PHC Certificates to an unrelated party for approximately $43.3 million, plus accrued interest, recognizing a gain on sale of securities of approximately $1.4 million.  The PHC Certificates were held in trust at Mizuho in secured TOB Trust financing transactions, which upon sale, were collapsed and all principal and interest were paid off in full (see Note 16).

The Partnership had the following investments in the PHC Certificates as of December 31, 2019:

The Partnership recognized a provision for loan loss and associated loan loss allowance of approximately $812,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 related to Live 929 Apartments property loan as the Partnership determined it was probable the outstanding balance will not be collectible. The interest to be earned on the Live 929 Apartments and Cross Creek property loans was on nonaccrual status for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The discounted cash flow method used by management to establish the net realizable value of these property loans determined the collection of the interest earned since inception was not probable.  In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, interest to be earned on approximately $983,000 of property loan principal for the Ohio Properties was in nonaccrual status as, in management’s opinion, the interest was not considered collectible. 

 

Activity in the First Nine Months of 2020

 

Concurrent with the acquisition of its GILs (see Note 7), the Partnership has committed to provide property loans for the construction of the underlying properties on a draw-down basis. The property loans and associated GILs are on parity and share a first mortgage lien position on all real and personal property associated with the underlying property. Affiliates of the borrower have guaranteed payment of principal and accrued interest on the GILs of 100% at origination, decreasing to 50% upon receipt of the certificate of occupancy, and decreasing to 25% upon achievement of 90% occupancy for 30 consecutive days. The following is a summary of property loans, and the remaining funding commitments, that were entered into during the first nine months of 2020:

During the third quarter of 2020, the Partnership advanced Live 929 Apartments approximately $406,000 under the secured property loan entered into in August 2019.

Activity in the First Nine Months of 2019

 

In January 2019, the Vantage at Brooks property was sold by its owner. Upon sale, the Partnership received all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Vantage at Brooks, LLC property loan. The Partnership received additional proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, which are reported as “Contingent interest income” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The contingent interest recognized is considered Tier 2 income for purposes of distributions to the General Partner and BUC holders (see Note 3).

 

In August 2019, the Partnership entered into a secured property loan with Live 929 Apartments. The property may request additional advances for the sole purpose of funding monthly operating shortfalls up to a total loan amount of $1.0 million. The property loan is subordinate to the MRBs associated with the property and has a stated maturity date of July 31, 2049.

 

12. Income Tax Provision

 

The Partnership recognizes current income tax expense for federal, state, and local income taxes incurred by the Greens Hold Co, which owns The 50/50 MF Property and certain property loans.

On January 1, 2019, the Partnership adopted the lease guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842.  The Partnership adopted ASC 842 at the required adoption date of January 1, 2019, using the transition method that allowed the Partnership to initially apply ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of partners’ capital in the period of adoption. No changes have been made to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements dated prior to the effective date related to the adoption of ASC 842.

 

The 50/50 MF Property has a ground lease with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with an initial lease term expiring in March 2048. The Partnership has an option to extend the lease for an additional five-year period, which has not been factored into the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability.  Annual lease payments are $100 per year. The Partnership is also required to make monthly payments, when cash is available at The 50/50 MF Property, to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Payment amounts are based on The 50/50 MF Property’s revenues, subject to an annual guaranteed minimum amount.  As of September 30, 2020, the minimum aggregate annual payment due under the agreement is approximately $135,000. The minimum aggregate annual payment increases 2% annually until July 31, 2034 and increases 3% annually thereafter.  The 50/50 MF Property will be required to make additional payments under the agreement if its gross revenues exceed certain thresholds.  The Partnership recognized expenses related to the ground lease of approximately $42,000 and $126,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are reported within “Real estate operating expenses” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The principal amount of each acquisition advance is due on the 270th day following the advance date and may be extended for up to three additional 90-day periods by making partial repayments in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The outstanding balances of the non-operating LOC as of September 30, 2020 are due in December 2020 and March 2021, though the Partnership may extend final repayment of the amounts due in March 2021 to December 2021 by making partial repayments. The non-operating LOC contains a covenant, among others, that the Partnership’s ratio of the lender’s senior debt will not exceed 75% of the market value of the Partnership’s assets, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2020.

 

The Partnership is required to make principal payments to reduce the operating LOC to zero for fifteen consecutive calendar days during each calendar quarter. The Partnership has fulfilled its prepayment obligation for all periods presented. In addition, the Partnership has fulfilled its fourth quarter of 2020 repayment obligation as it maintained a zero balance in the operating LOC for fifteen consecutive days during October 2020.

The TOB, Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financing arrangements are consolidated VIE’s to the Partnership (see Note 5). The Partnership is the primary beneficiary due to its rights to the underlying assets. Accordingly, the Partnership consolidates the TOB, Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 for information regarding the MRBs securitized within each TOB, Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financing, Note 7 for information regarding the GILs securitized within each TOB Trust Financing, and Note 11 for information regarding the property loans securitized within each TOB Trust Financing.  As the residual interest holder, the Partnership may be required to make certain payments or contribute certain assets to the VIEs if certain events occur. Such events include, but are not limited to, a downgrade in the investment rating of the senior securities issued by the VIEs, a ratings downgrade of the liquidity provider for the VIEs, 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 senior securities. If such an event occurs in an individual VIE, the underlying collateral may be sold and, if the proceeds are not sufficient to pay the principal amount of the senior securities plus accrued interest and other trust expenses, the Partnership will be required to fund any such shortfall. If the Partnership does not fund the shortfall, the default and liquidation provisions will be invoked against the Partnership. The Partnership has never been, and does not expect in the future, to be required to reimburse the VIEs for any shortfall.

 

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Partnership posted restricted cash as contractually required under the terms of the four TEBS Financings. The restricted cash associated with the Secured Notes is collateral posted with Mizuho according to the terms of two total return swaps that have the Secured Notes as the reference security (see Note 18). The Partnership may also be required to post collateral, typically in cash, related to the TOB Trusts with Mizuho. The amount of collateral posting required is dependent on the valuation of the underlying MRBs, GILs and property loans in relation to thresholds set by Mizuho. There was no requirement to post collateral for the TOB Trusts with Mizuho as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

 

The Partnership has entered into various TOB Trust financings with Mizuho secured by MRBs, GILs, and property loans. The Mizuho TOB Trusts require that the Partnership’s residual interest in the TOB Trusts maintain a certain value in relation to the total assets in each Trust.  In addition, the Master Trust Agreement with Mizuho requires the Partnership’s partners’ capital, as defined, to maintain a certain threshold and that it remains listed on the NASDAQ.  If the Partnership is not in compliance with any of these covenants, a termination event of the financing facility would be triggered, which would require the Partnership to purchase a portion or all of the senior interests issued by each TOB Trust.  The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2020.

 

The Term TOB Trust with Morgan Stanley is subject to a Trust Agreement and other related agreements that contain covenants with which the Partnership or the underlying MRB are required to comply.  The underlying property must maintain certain occupancy and debt service covenants. A termination event will occur if the Partnership’s net assets, as defined, decrease by 25% in one quarter or 35% over one year. If the underlying property or the Partnership, as applicable, is out of compliance with any of these covenants, a termination event of the financing facility would be triggered which would require the Partnership to purchase a portion or all of the Class A Certificates held by Morgan Stanley.  The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2020.

 

The Partnership’s variable rate debt financing arrangements include maximum interest rate provisions that prevent the debt service on the debt financings from exceeding the cash flows from the underlying securitized asset.

Three TOB Trust financings associated with individual GILs were originated and subsequently collapsed during 2020. The three related GILs were then combined and re-securitized into a single TOB Trust financing in September 2020. The new TOB Trust financing was created to take advantage of lower interest rate spread adjustments compared to the previous TOB Trust financings. The termination of the single-GIL TOB Trust financings were treated as extinguishments for accounting purposes and the Partnership expensed approximately $364,000 of deferred financings costs.

In September 2020, ATAX TEBS Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, issued Secured Notes to Mizuho with an aggregate principal amount of $103.5 million. The Secured Notes are secured by the Partnership’s residual certificates associated with its four TEBS Financings. The Secured Notes bear interest at a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 9.00%, payable monthly. Interest due on the Secured Notes will be paid from receipts related to the TEBS Financing residual certificates. Future receipts of principal related to the TEBS Financing residual certificates will be used to pay down the principal of the Secured Notes. The Partnership has guaranteed the payment and performance of the responsibilities of ATAX TEBS Holdings, LLC under the Secured Notes. If ATAX TEBS Holdings, LLC defaults on its obligations under the Secured Notes and the Partnership does not cure the default, the Partnership’s TEBS Financing residual certificates and their related rights to the underlying TEBS assets will be assigned to Mizuho. If this occurs, the Partnership will cease to be the primary beneficiary of the TEBS Financing VIEs and such VIEs will no longer be consolidated in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, the Partnership entered into two total return swap transactions with Mizuho to reduce the net interest cost related to the Secured Notes (see Note 18). Of the $103.5 million of proceeds from the Secured Notes, approximately $24.8 million was received in cash by the Partnership, approximately $1.2 million was deposited in a reserve account at U.S. Bank which will be released to the Partnership at such time as the Partnership can arrange for principal and interest payments related to the TEBS Financing residual certificates to be remitted directly to U.S. Bank, and approximately $77.5 million was deposited with Mizuho as collateral for the total return swaps.

Refinancing Activity:

 

In July 2020, the Partnership extended the maturity dates of all Mizuho TOB Trust financings with stated maturity dates of 2021 to July 2023.  There were no additional changes to terms or fees associated with the amendments.

 

Redemptions:

 

In January 2020, the variable rate TOB Trust financings associated with the PHC Certificates were collapsed and all principal and interest were paid in full in conjunction with the Partnership’s sale of the PHC Certificates to an unrelated party (see Note 8).  

 

In April 2020, the Partnership terminated its Master Trust Agreement and collapsed its Term TOB Trust and all Term A/B Trust financings with Deutsche Bank.  As of the termination, the Partnership is no longer subject to the debt covenants in the Master Trust Agreement.  All outstanding principal and interest related to the Term A/B Trust financings were paid off in full, and the Partnership paid a one-time fee of approximately $454,000 to terminate the trusts.

Refinancing Activity:

In July 2019, the Partnership refinanced the M24 TEBS Financing with Freddie Mac. The M24 TEBS Financing was converted to a fixed interest rate of 3.05%, which is inclusive of credit enhancement and servicing fees, and the stated maturity was extended to May 2027. The refinancing was treated as an extinguishment for accounting purposes and the Partnership capitalized approximately $307,000 as deferred financing costs related to the refinancing.

 

In July 2019, the Partnership refinanced the M33 TEBS Financing with Freddie Mac. The M33 TEBS Financing converted to a fixed interest rate of 3.24%, which is inclusive of credit enhancement and servicing fees, and the stated maturity was extended to September 2030. The refinancing was treated as an extinguishment for accounting purposes and the Partnership expensed approximately $496,000 of previously unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the M33 TEBS Financing. The Partnership capitalized

(3)

Variable rate equal to 3-month LIBOR + 9.00%.

Each of the total return swaps have the Partnership’s Secured Notes with Mizuho as the specified reference security (see Note 16). The combined notional amount of the total return swaps is $103.5 million, which is the same as the principal balance of the Secured Notes. The rate received on each total return swap is equal to the interest rate on the Secured Notes such that they offset one another, resulting in a net interest cost equal to the rate paid on each total return swap. Under the total return swaps, the Partnership is liable for any decline in the value of the Secured Notes. If the fair value of the underlying Secured Notes is less than the outstanding principal balance, the Partnership is required to post additional cash collateral equal to the amount of the deficit. Such a deficit will also be reflected in the fair value of the total return swaps.

The Partnership was required to initially fund cash collateral with Mizuho for each total return swap. The total return swap with a notional amount of $40.0 million, requires the Partnership to maintain cash collateral equal to 35% of the notional amount, which was approximately $14.0 million as of September 30, 2020. The second total return swap with a notional amount of $63.5 million, requires the Partnership to maintain cash collateral equal to 100% of the notional amount, which was approximately $63.5 million as of September 30, 2020. Through March 2022, the Partnership has the option to allocate notional amounts from the second total return swap to the first total return swap, in minimum increments of $10.0 million, and receive net cash proceeds of approximately 65% of the reallocated notional amount. The second total return swap terminates in March 2022 and any remaining cash collateral will be used to pay down the principal balance of the Secured Notes.

The Partnership’s derivative financial instruments are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value are included in current period earnings as “Interest expense” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 23 for a description of the methodology and significant assumptions for determining the fair value of the derivatives. The derivative financial instruments are presented within “Other assets” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.  

 

19. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

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 to occur, the estimated amount of the loss is accrued in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Partnership believes the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Bond Purchase Commitments

As part of the Partnership’s strategy of acquiring MRBs, the Partnership will enter into bond purchase commitments related to MRBs to be issued and secured by properties under construction.  Upon execution of the bond purchase commitment, the proceeds from the MRBs will be used to pay off the construction related debt.  The Partnership bears no construction or stabilization risk during the commitment period. The Partnership accounts for its bond purchase commitments as available-for-sale securities and reports the asset or liability at fair value. Changes in the fair value of bond purchase commitments are recorded in other comprehensive income. The following table summarizes the Partnership’s bond purchase commitments as of September 30, 2020:

The Partnership’s remaining maximum commitments related to the Series A MRB and Series A-T taxable MRB totaled $13.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2020.

 

Governmental Issuer Loan Commitments

 

The Partnership has outstanding commitments to fund the proceeds related to its GILs while the property is under construction.  See Note 7 for remaining commitments disclosures.  

 

Equity Investment Commitments

ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, has outstanding commitments to contribute equity to unconsolidated entities.  See Note 10 for additional information.

Property Loan Commitments

The Partnership has committed to fund additional proceeds related to property loans for Scharbauer Flats Apartments, Oasis at Twin Lakes Apartments and Centennial Crossings Senior Apartments while the properties are under construction. The Partnership’s remaining maximum commitments totaled approximately $70.8 million as of September 30, 2020. See Note 11 for disclosures related to the property loans.

Construction Loan Guarantees

The Partnership entered into guaranty agreements for construction loans related to certain investments in unconsolidated entities. The Partnership will only have to perform on the guarantees if a default by the borrower were to occur.  All guarantees were initially for the entire amount of the construction loans and decrease based on the achievement of certain events or financial ratios, as defined by the respective construction loan agreement.  The Partnership has not accrued any amount for these contingent liabilities because the likelihood of guarantee claims is remote.

The Partnership’s maximum exposure will decrease to 50% of the construction loan balance upon receipt of the certificate of occupancy and to 25% of the construction loan balance when certain debt service coverage levels are achieved by the borrower.

Other Guarantees and Commitments

The Partnership has entered into guarantee agreements with unaffiliated entities under which the Partnership has guaranteed certain obligations of the general partners of certain limited partnerships upon the occurrence of a “repurchase event.” Potential repurchase events include LIHTC tax credit recapture and foreclosure. The Partnership’s maximum exposure is limited to 75% of the equity contributed by the limited partner to each limited partnership. No amount has been accrued for these guarantees because the likelihood of repurchase events is remote.

20. Redeemable Series A Preferred Units

 

The Partnership has issued non-cumulative, non-voting, non-convertible Series A Preferred Units via a private placement to five financial institutions. The Series A Preferred Units represent limited partnership interests of the Partnership.  The Series A Preferred Units have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund requirements, and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by the Partnership or by the holder. Upon the sixth anniversary of the closing of the sale of Series A Preferred Units to a subscriber, and upon each annual anniversary thereafter, the Partnership and each holder of Series A Preferred Units have the right to redeem, in whole or in part, the Series A Preferred Units held by such holder at a per unit redemption price equal to $10.00 per unit plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid distributions through the date of the redemption.

 

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Partnership, the holders of the Series A Preferred Units are entitled to a liquidation preference in connection with their investments.  With respect to anticipated quarterly distributions and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or the winding-up of the Partnership’s affairs, the Series A Preferred Units will rank: (a) senior to the Partnership’s BUCs and to any other class or series of Partnership interests or securities expressly designated as ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Units; (b) junior to all of the Partnership’s existing indebtedness (including indebtedness outstanding under the Partnership’s senior bank credit facility) and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Partnership; and (c) junior to any other class or series of Partnership interests or securities expressly designated as ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Units.

21. Restricted Unit Awards

The Partnership’s 2015 Plan permits the grant of RUAs and other awards to the employees of Greystone Manager, the Partnership, or any affiliate of either, and members of the Board of Managers of Greystone Manager for up to 3.0 million BUCs. RUAs have historically been granted with vesting conditions ranging from three months to up to three years. Unvested RUAs are typically entitled to receive distributions during the restriction period. The Plan provides for accelerated vesting of the RUAs if there is a change in control related to the Partnership, the General Partner, or the general partner of the General Partner, or upon death or disability of the Plan participant. In September 2019, all of the restrictions applicable to the previously unvested RUAs lapsed and all such RUAs became immediately vested and nonforfeitable upon the closing of the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding partnership interests in the General Partner from Burlington Capital LLC by Greystone.

The fair value of each RUA is estimated on the grant date based on the Partnership’s exchange-listed closing price of the BUCs. The Partnership recognizes compensation expense for the RUAs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. The compensation expense for RUAs totaled approximately $300,000 and $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The compensation expense for RUAs totaled approximately $635,000 and $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Compensation expense is reported within “General and administrative expenses” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The remaining compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years.  The total intrinsic value of unvested RUAs was approximately $1.2 million as of September 30, 2020.

 

22. Transactions with Related Parties  

 

Effective September 10, 2019, Greystone acquired all the issued and outstanding partnership interests of AFCA 2 from Burlington Capital LLC and an affiliate, at which time Burlington Capital LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “Burlington”) ceased to be related parties of the Partnership.  

 

The Partnership incurs costs for services and makes contractual payments to AFCA 2, AFCA 2’s general partner, and their affiliates. The costs are reported either as expenses or capitalized costs depending on the nature of each item. The following table summarizes transactions with related parties that are reflected in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

AFCA 2 is entitled to receive an administrative fee from the Partnership equal to 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of any of its MRBs, GILs, property loans collateralized by real property, and other investments for which the owner of the financed property or other third party is not obligated to pay such administrative fee directly to AFCA 2. The disclosed amounts represent administrative fees paid or accrued during the periods specified and are reported within “General and administrative expenses” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(2)

A former affiliate of AFCA 2, Burlington Capital Properties, LLC, provides property management, administrative and marketing services for the MF Properties (excluding Suites on Paseo). Burlington Capital Properties, LLC ceased to be a related party of the Partnership effective September 10, 2019. The disclosed amounts are only for property management fees earned during the periods that Burlington Capital Properties, LLC was considered a related party of the Partnership. The property management fees are reported within “Real estate operating expenses” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(3)

The Partnership pays franchise margin taxes on revenues in Texas related to its investments in unconsolidated entities. Such taxes are paid by the Partnership as the unconsolidated entities are required by tax regulations to be included in the Partnership’s group tax return. Since the Partnership is reimbursed for the franchise margin taxes paid on behalf of the unconsolidated entities, these taxes are not reported on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

AFCA 2 receives fees from the borrowers of the Partnership’s MRBs, GILs and certain property loans for services provided to the borrower and based on the occurrence of certain investment transactions. These fees were paid by the borrowers and are not reported on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes transactions between borrowers of the Partnership’s MRBs, GILs and certain property loans and affiliates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

These amounts represent administrative fees received by AFCA 2 during the periods specified.

(2)

AFCA 2 received placement fees in connection with the acquisition of certain MRBs, GILs, property loans and investments in unconsolidated entities.

Burlington Capital Properties, LLC provided services to seven of the properties collateralizing MRBs and one of the Partnership’s investments in unconsolidated entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These property management fees were paid out of the revenues generated by the respective property prior to the payment of debt service on the Partnership's MRBs and property loans, as applicable, and the construction loan for the unconsolidated entity.

 

Greystone Servicing Company LLC, an affiliate of the Partnership, has forward committed to purchase each of the Partnership’s GILs (see Note 7), once certain conditions are met, at a price equal to the outstanding principal plus accrued interest. Greystone Servicing Company LLC is committed to then immediately sell the GILs to Freddie Mac pursuant to a financing commitment between Greystone Servicing Company LLC and Freddie Mac.

The Partnership reported receivables due from unconsolidated entities of approximately $46,000 and $116,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These amounts are reported within “Other assets” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Partnership had outstanding liabilities due to related parties totaling approximately $379,000 and $301,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These amounts are reported within “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

23. 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.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Partnership’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investments in MRBs, Taxable MRBs and Bond Purchase Commitments

The fair value of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs, taxable MRBs and bond purchase commitments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is based upon prices obtained from a third-party pricing service, which are estimates of market prices. There is no active trading market for these securities, and price quotes for the securities are not available. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. The valuation methodology considers the underlying characteristics of each security as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, illiquidity, legal structure of the borrower, collateral, seniority to other obligations, operating results of the underlying property, geographic location, and property quality. These characteristics are used to estimate an effective yield for each security. The security fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analysis by applying the effective yield to contractual cash flows. Significant increases (decreases) in the effective yield would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value estimate. Changes in fair value due to an increase or decrease in the effective yield do not impact the Partnership’s cash flows.

36


 

The Partnership evaluates pricing data received from the third-party pricing service by evaluating consistency with information from either the third-party pricing service or public sources. The fair value estimates of the MRBs, taxable MRBs and bond purchase commitments are based largely on unobservable inputs believed to be used by market participants and requires the use of judgment on the part of the third-party pricing service and the Partnership. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurements of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs, taxable MRBs and bond purchase commitments are categorized as a Level 3 input.

The range of effective yields and weighted average effective yields of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs, taxable MRBs and bond purchase commitments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

Investments in PHC Certificates  

The Partnership sold its investments in the PHC Certificates in January 2020. The fair value of the Partnership’s investment in PHC Certificates as of December 31, 2019 was based upon prices obtained from a third-party pricing service, which were estimates of market prices. There was no active trading market for the PHC Certificates owned by the Partnership. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporated commonly used market pricing methods. The valuation methodology considered the underlying characteristics of each PHC Certificate as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, illiquidity, security ratings from rating agencies, the impact of potential political and regulatory change, and other inputs.

The Partnership reviewed the inputs used by the primary third-party pricing service by reviewing source information and reviewed the methodology for reasonableness.  The Partnership also engaged a second third-party pricing service to confirm the values developed by the primary third-party pricing service. The valuation methodologies used by the third-party pricing services encompassed the use of judgment in their application. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s investment in PHC Certificates was categorized as a Level 3 input. As of December 31, 2019, the range of effective yields on the PHC Certificates was 4.4% to 5.3% per annum, with a weighted average effective yield of 5.2% when weighted by the principal outstanding of all PHC Certificates as of the reporting date.   

Derivative Financial Instruments

The effect of the Partnership’s interest rate caps is to set a cap, or upper limit, subject to performance of the counterparty, on the base rate of interest paid on the Partnership’s variable rate debt financings equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement. The inputs in the interest rate cap agreement 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 effect of the Partnership’s total return swaps is to lower the net interest rate related to the Partnership’s Secured Notes equal to the notional amount of the derivative instruments. The inputs in the total return swap valuation model include changes in the value of the Secured Notes and the associated changes in value of the underlying assets securing the Secured Notes, accrued and unpaid interest, and any potential gain share amounts. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreements and total return swaps are based on models whose inputs are not observable and therefore are categorized as a Level 3 input.

Total gains and losses included in earnings for the derivative financial instruments are reported within “Interest expense” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership utilized a third-party pricing service to determine the fair value of the Partnership’s GILs, which is an estimate of their market price. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. The valuation methodology considers the underlying characteristics of the GILs as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, the progress of construction and operations of the underlying properties, the financial capacity of guarantors, and the probability that conditions to Greystone Servicing Company LLC’s commitments to purchase the GILs will be met. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurements of the Partnership’s GILs are categorized as a Level 3 input. The fair value of the GILs approximates amortized cost as of September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Partnership utilized a third-party pricing service to determine the fair value of the Partnership’s financial liabilities, which are estimates of market prices. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. The valuation methodology considers the underlying characteristics of each financial liability as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, legal structure, seniority to other obligations, operating results of the underlying assets, and asset quality. The financial liability values are then estimated using a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analysis.

The Partnership evaluates pricing data received from the third-party pricing service, including consideration of current market interest rates, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the underlying collateral, and other information from either the third-party pricing service or public sources. The fair value estimates of these financial liabilities are based largely on unobservable inputs believed to be used by market participants and require the use of judgment on the part of the third-party pricing service and the Partnership. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurements of the Partnership’s financial liabilities are categorized as a Level 3 input. The TEBS Financings are credit enhanced by Freddie Mac. The TOB Trust financings are credit enhanced by Mizuho. The table below summarizes the fair value of the Partnership’s financial liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

24. Segments

 

The Partnership has four reportable segments - Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments, MF Properties, Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, and Other Investments.  The Partnership separately reports its consolidation and elimination information because it does not allocate certain items to the segments.

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

 

Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments Segment

The Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments segment consists of the Partnership’s portfolio of MRBs, GILs and related property loans that have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for Residential Properties, multifamily properties and commercial properties in their market areas.  Such MRBs and GILs are held as investments and the related property loans, net of loan loss allowances, are reported as such on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.  As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership reported 77 MRBs and three GILs. The Residential Properties financed by MRBs and GILs contain a total of 11,118 and 737 rental units, respectively. In addition, one MRB (Pro Nova 2014-1) is collateralized by commercial real estate. All “General and administrative expenses” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations are reported within this segment.

 

MF Properties Segment

The MF Properties segment consists of multifamily and student housing residential properties held by the Partnership (see Note 9). 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.  As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership owned two MF Properties containing a total of 859 rental units. Income tax expense for the Greens Hold Co is reported within this segment.

 

Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts Segment

The Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts segment consists of the assets, liabilities, and related income and expenses of the Partnership’s PHC Certificates (see Note 8) and the related TOB Trust financings. In January 2020, the Partnership sold the PHC Certificates to an unrelated party, and the related TOB Trust financings were collapsed and all principal and interest was paid in full.  As a result, the Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts segment has no activity after January 2020.

 

Other Investments Segment

The Other Investments segment consists of the operations of ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC, which invests in unconsolidated entities (see Note 10) and property loans to certain multifamily housing properties (see Note 11).

25. Subsequent Events

 

In October 2020, the Partnership executed an agreement with an affiliate of Greystone, in which the Greystone affiliate is entitled to receive a referral fee equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of executed tax-exempt loan or tax-exempt bond transactions introduced to the Partnership by the Greystone affiliate.

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

In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, all references to “we,” “us,” and the “Partnership” refer to America First Multifamily Investors, L.P., its consolidated subsidiaries, and consolidated VIEs for all periods presented. See Note 2 and Note 5 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further disclosure.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Partnership’s critical accounting policies are the same as those described in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for certain policies regarding governmental issuer loans as follows:

Governmental Issuer Loans Impairment

The Partnership accounts for its investment in governmental issuer loans (“GILs”) under the accounting guidance for certain investments in debt and equity securities.  The Partnership’s investments in these instruments are classified as a held-to-maturity debt security and are reported at amortized cost.

The Partnership periodically reviews its GILs for impairment.  The Partnership evaluates whether unrealized losses are considered other-than-temporary impairments based on various factors including:

 

The duration and severity of the decline in fair value;

 

Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, its collateral, or both;

 

Volatility of the fair value of the security;

 

The likelihood of the borrower being able to make scheduled interest or principal payments;

 

The failure of the borrower to make scheduled interest or principal payments; and

 

Recoveries or additional declines in fair value after the balance sheet date.

While the Partnership evaluates all available information, it focuses specifically on whether the security’s estimated fair value is below amortized cost. If the GIL’s estimated fair value is below amortized cost, and the Partnership does not expect to recover its entire amortized cost, only the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment related to credit losses is recognized through earnings as a provision for credit loss, with the remainder recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).  

The recognition of other-than-temporary impairment, provision for credit loss, and the potential impairment analysis are subject to a considerable degree of judgment, the results of which, when applied under different conditions or assumptions, could have a material impact on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the Partnership experiences deterioration in the value of its GILs, the Partnership may incur other-than-temporary impairments or provision for credit losses that could negatively impact the Partnership’s financial condition, cash flows, and reported earnings.  

 

 

Executive Summary

The Partnership was formed for the primary purpose of acquiring a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds (“MRBs”) that are issued by state and local housing authorities to provide construction and/or permanent financing for affordable multifamily and student housing (collectively “Residential Properties”), and commercial properties in their market areas. The Partnership has also invested in governmental issuer loans (“GILs”), which are similar to MRBs, to provide construction financing for affordable multifamily properties. We expect and believe the interest received on these MRBs and GILs is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. We may also invest in other types of securities and investments that may or may not be secured by real estate, to the extent allowed by the Partnership Agreement.

The Partnership includes the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Partnership, our wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs. All significant transactions and accounts between us and the consolidated VIEs have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 2 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

As of September 30, 2020, we have four reportable segments: (1) Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments, (2) Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, (3) MF Properties, and (4) Other Investments. The Partnership separately reports its consolidation and elimination information because it does not allocate certain items to the segments.  See Notes 2 and 24 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Effects of COVID-19

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic continues to disrupt general economic, business and social activities throughout the United States and abroad. This continuing disruption poses various risks to the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

The decline in U.S. economic activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact employment and earnings for tenants of affordable housing properties nationwide, such as the Residential Properties securing our MRB investments. The federal and state governments have instituted various relief measures intended to provide economic assistance to businesses and individuals impacted by COVID-19, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act. We believe such measures have allowed many tenants to stay current on their contractual rental payments. On September 4, 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) issued an agency order for a nation-wide moratorium on evictions for residential properties due to the threat to public health presented by COVID-19. The order is effective until December 31, 2020. Tenants must complete a declaration asserting that they meet the requirements for protection under the agency order. The agency order does not

45


 

relieve tenants from their obligation to pay rent or limit a landlord’s ability to charge fees, penalties and interest for late payments. We have not observed a material impact to collections at our Residential Properties as a result of the agency order to date.    

 

The property owners and property management service providers of our Residential Properties provide regular updates on operations and rental collections. These parties have reported average rental collections within 30 days of billing of 93% in July, 91% in August, 91% in September and 91% in October. All our Residential Properties are affordable multifamily properties, except for Live 929 Apartments which is primarily a student housing property.  Such collection rates, plus the availability of reserves, have allowed all of the multifamily Residential Properties to be current on contractual debt service payments on our MRBs and we have received no requests for forbearance of contractual debt service payments. The long-term ability of the multifamily Residential Properties to stay current on contractual debt service payments may be dependent on various future developments that are uncertain, such as additional shutdowns in local markets, changes in unemployment rates, and available governmental relief programs. If the Residential Properties experience a significant increase in delinquent rents in future months, our Residential Properties may be unable to make contractual principal and interest payments for our MRBs, negatively impacting our cash flows and leading to potential forbearance requests or MRB defaults. MRB defaults may cause defaults on our financing arrangements, triggering either a termination and repayment of the related debt or a sale of the underlying MRB. We may choose to provide support to Residential Properties through supplemental property loans in order to prevent such MRB defaults. We are continually monitoring rent collections and financial results of the Residential Properties for signs of stress and will proactively work with Residential Properties that request forbearance on a case-by-case basis. COVID-19 has had a more significant on Live 929 Apartments, our sole student housing MRB Residential Property. Live 929 Apartments is only 67% occupied as of September 30, 2020, due to limited on campus, in person classes at nearby Johns Hopkins University. Prior to COVID-19, the Live 929 Apartments MRB was operating under a forbearance agreement related to certain debt covenants. The Live 929 Apartments MRB is current on contractual debt service payments but will likely require additional forbearance in the near term. We are actively working with the borrower on opportunities to improve operations and improve cash flows available to pay debt service, though the COVID-19 pandemic is making such improvements difficult. Due to these factors, we recorded an impairment of the Live 929 Apartments MRB and a related property loan in the third quarter of 2020. Additionally, COVID-19 has negatively impacted the performance of the commercial property associated with the Pro Nova 2014-1 MRB in the form of lower patient volume and revenues. The borrower of Pro Nova 2014-1 has requested forbearance. The contractual interest payment due on the Pro Nova 2014-1 MRB was not made as scheduled on November 1, 2020 due to the majority senior bondholder’s direction to the bond trustee not to draw on the debt service reserve fund as provided for under the bond indenture. We own approximately 8% of the senior MRBs issued by the borrower and we are assessing options with other senior lenders.

 

Our investments in unconsolidated entities are related to the development of market-rate multifamily properties. To date, projects under construction have not experienced any material supply chain disruptions for either construction materials or labor as a result of COVID-19, though such disruptions could occur in the future. In addition, we have noted no material construction cost overruns to date. An increase in the spread of COVID-19 could require construction sites to close, causing potential construction delays. Leasing activity at properties with available units has faced challenges due to social distancing measures imposed as a result of COVID-19. However, through October 2020, properties with available units have continued to increase occupancy though at a lower rate than before the COVID-19 pandemic. If such challenges persist, leasing could further decelerate, which will negatively impact our returns and cash flows from these investments and may cause impairment losses in future periods.    

 

The MF Properties are adjacent to universities and serve primarily university students. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which is adjacent to The 50/50 MF Property is holding on-campus, in person classes for the Fall 2020 semester. The 50/50 MF Property was 86% occupied as of September 30, 2020, which is only slightly below prior periods, and there has been no significant increase in rental delinquencies. The 50/50 MF Property has generated sufficient operating cash flows to meet all mortgage payment and operational obligations through September 30, 2020. However, if the spread of COVID-19 causes a reduction or suspension in on-campus classes during either the Fall 2020 or Spring 2021, we may experience declines in occupancy and collections. San Diego State University, which is adjacent to the Suites on Paseo MF Property, has suspended on campus, in person classes for the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters due to COVID-19 concerns. Residence halls remain open but at a reduced capacity. The Suites on Paseo was 64% occupied as of September 30, 2020, which is significantly lower than prior periods. We have noted a slight increase in delinquencies at the Suites on Paseo compared to historical average delinquencies. There is currently no mortgage associated with the Suites on Paseo and the property’s operating cash flows have been sufficient to meet all operational obligations through September 30, 2020. Continued spread of COVID-19 could put further stress on occupancy and delinquencies at our MF Properties. We continue to enforce the terms of our lease contracts with tenants, including co-signor guarantees, and will work with tenants experiencing financial difficulties on a case-by-case basis.

Employees of Greystone Manager, the general partner of our General Partner, are responsible for our operations, including those individuals acting as executive officers of the Partnership. To protect the health and safety of our employees, we have implemented social distancing measures and certain employees continue to utilize work-at-home options. We also have implemented policies and procedures to address the COVID-19 pandemic, which have closely followed the recommendations and requirements of the CDC and the pronouncements of the state and local authorities of the states in which we operate.

46


 

While we have developed and implemented measures to monitor and mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 to our business, the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will continue to depend on numerous factors that we are unable to accurately predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, general economic conditions during and after the pandemic, and governmental actions that have been taken, or may be taken in the future, in response to the pandemic. See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section in this Item 2 for information regarding our uses and potential sources of liquidity for the next twelve months.

 

Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments Segment

 

The Partnership’s primary purpose is to acquire and hold as investments a portfolio of MRBs which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for Residential Properties and commercial properties in their market areas. The Partnership has also invested in GILs and property loans which are included within this segment.

Interest expense includes approximately $496,000 of previously unamortized deferred financing costs that were recognized as interest expense upon refinancing of the M33 TEBS financing to a fixed interest rate in July 2019. Excluding such items reduces the average interest rate to approximately 2.9%.

Interest expense includes approximately $364,000 of previously unamortized deferred financing costs that were recognized as interest expense upon collapse of certain TOB financings in September 2020. Excluding such items reduces the average interest rate to approximately 2.1%.

Net interest income equals the difference between total interest income from interest-earning assets minus total interest expense from interest-bearing assets. Net interest spread equals annualized net interest income divided by the average interest-bearing assets during the period.

 

The following table summarizes the changes in interest income and interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the extent to which these variances are attributable to 1) changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, or 2) changes in the interest rates of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

We refinanced the M24 and M33 TEBS financings from variable rate to fixed rate in July 2019.

(2)

Interest expense is reported net of income/loss on the Partnership’s two total return swaps.

(3)

We terminated two Fixed Term A/B financings and one Fixed Term TOB financing in August 2019 and subsequently closed new variable TOB financings with Mizuho. We also terminated all Fixed Term A/B & TOB financings with Deutsche Bank in April 2020 and subsequent closed new variable TOB financings with Mizuho.

 

Net interest income increased for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 due primarily to interest income from our GIL investments in 2020 and lower interest expense. Interest expense decreased due to:

 

 

The termination of five fixed rate Term A/B financings with interest rates of approximately 4.50% that were replaced by five new TOB financings with an initial variable interest rate of approximately 2.09% in April 2020;

 

 

The termination of two fixed rate Term A/B financings with interest rates of 4.53% that were replaced by new TOB financings with an initial variable interest rate of approximately 2.59% in August 2019;

 

 

The termination of one fixed rate Term TOB financing with an interest rate of approximately 4.39% that was replaced by a new TOB financing with an initial variable interest rate of approximately 3.08% in August 2019; and

 

 

Generally lower SIFMA index rates during the three months ended September 30, 2020 resulted in lower interest expense on our variable rate debt financings.

 

Segment net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased as compared to the same period in 2019 as a result of the changes in total revenues and interest expense detailed in the tables above.  In addition, there was a decrease of approximately $3.0 million in restricted unit compensation expense due to the closing of the acquisition by Greystone of AFCA 2 on September 10, 2019, in which all outstanding restricted units vested and all previously unrecognized compensation expense was recognized and a decrease of approximately $515,000 in lower salaries, benefits, and the timing of various operating expense items. This was offset by a provision for credit loss of approximately $3.5 million related to the Live 929 Apartments MRB and a provision for loan loss of approximately $812,000 related to the Live 929 Apartments property loan for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The termination of five fixed rate Term A/B financings with interest rates of approximately 4.50% that were replaced by five new TOB financings with an initial variable interest rate of approximately 2.09% in April 2020;

The termination of one fixed rate Term TOB financing with an interest rate of approximately 4.39% that was replaced by a new TOB financing with an initial variable interest rate of approximately 3.08% in August 2019;

 

 

Refinancing of the M24 TEBS financing from a variable interest rate of 3.85% as of June 30, 2019 to a fixed interest rate of 3.05% in July 2019;

 

 

Generally lower SIFMA index rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulted in lower interest expense on our variable rate debt financings;

 

 

Lower average outstanding principal on the unsecured lines of credit; and

 

 

A decrease in expense related to fair value adjustments on our derivative financial instruments.

 

Segment net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased as compared to the same period in 2019 as a result of the changes in total revenues and interest expense detailed in the tables above. In addition, there was a decrease of approximately $3.0 million in restricted unit compensation expense due to the closing of the acquisition by Greystone of AFCA 2 on September 10, 2019 in which all outstanding restricted units vested and all previously unrecognized compensation expense was recognized. This is offset by a provision for credit loss of approximately $5.3 million related to the Pro Nova 2014-1 and Live 929 Apartments MRBs and a provision for loan loss of approximately $812,000 related to the Live 929 Apartments property loan for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts Segment

 

The PHC Certificates within this segment consisted of custodial receipts evidencing loans made to public housing authorities.  Principal and interest on these loans are payable by the respective public housing authorities out of annual appropriations to be made to the public housing authorities by HUD under HUD’s Capital Fund Program. In January 2020, we sold all of our PHC Certificates to an unrelated third party and collapsed the related debt financing.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

There were no reported operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to the sale of the PHC Certificates in January 2020 and the collapse and payment in full of all principal and interest due on the TOB Trust financings secured by the PHC Certificates.

 

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

Total revenues and interest expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 due to the sale of the PHC Certificates in January 2020 and the collapse and payment in full of all principal and interest due on the TOB Trust financings secured by the PHC Certificates.

 

Segment net income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 due to a gain of approximately $1.4 million realized upon sale of the PHC Certificates, net of the decreases in total revenue and interest expense noted above.

 

MF Properties Segment

 

The Partnership’s strategy has been to acquire ownership positions in MF Properties in order to position itself for future investments in MRBs that finance these properties or to operate the MF Properties until their “highest and best use” can be determined by management. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries owned two MF Properties which contained a total of 859 rental units.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

The decrease in total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 is due primarily to lower occupancy at the Suites on Paseo. Lower occupancy is a result of the suspension of on-campus, in-person classes at San Diego State University due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due to the refinancing of The 50/50 Mortgage and TIF loans to lower interest rates in February 2020.

The increase in segment net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due to the changes in total revenues and interest expense described above.

 

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

The decrease in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 is due primarily to lower occupancy at the Suites on Paseo. Lower occupancy is a result of the suspension of on-campus, in-person classes at San Diego State University due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due to the refinancing of The 50/50 Mortgage and TIF loans to lower interest rates in February 2020.

 

The increase in segment net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due to the changes in total revenues and interest expense described above, and a decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $266,000 at The 50/50 MF Property due to certain real estate assets that became fully depreciated in mid-2019.

Other Investments Segment

 

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

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

The decrease in total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the following:

 

 

Approximately $547,000 of additional investment income recognized upon the sale of Vantage at Panama City Beach, LLC in September 2019; and

 

 

Offset by approximately $373,000 of additional investment income recognized upon the sale of Vantage at Waco, LLC in June 2020.

 

The gain on sale of investments in unconsolidated entities related to the sale of the Vantage at Panama City Beach property in September 2019.

The change in segment net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due to the change in total revenues and gain on sale of an unconsolidated entity discussed above.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

The decrease in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the following:

Approximately $824,000 of additional investment income recognized upon the sale of Vantage at Panama City Beach, LLC in September 2019; and

 

 

Offset by approximately $1.3 million of additional investment income recognized upon the sale of Vantage at Waco, LLC in June 2020.

 

The gain on sale of investments in unconsolidated entities related to the sale of the Vantage at Panama City Beach property in September 2019.

 

The change in segment net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due to the change in total revenues and gain on sale of an unconsolidated entity discussed above.

Discussion of Occupancy at Investment-Related Properties

 

The following tables outline information regarding the Residential Properties for which we hold MRBs as investments.

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

54


 

(2)

Economic occupancy 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. Physical occupancy is a point in time measurement while economic occupancy is a measurement over the period presented. Therefore, economic occupancy for a period may exceed the actual occupancy at any point in time.

(3)

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

(4)

The Ohio Properties consist of Crescent Village, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, Willow Bend, located in Columbus (Hilliard), Ohio and Postwoods, located in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

(5)

The physical occupancy and economic occupancy amounts are based on the latest available occupancy and financial information, which is as of December 31, 2019.

(6)

The physical occupancy and economic occupancy amounts are based on the latest available occupancy and financial information, which is as of June 30, 2020.

 

 

Physical and economic occupancy as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were relatively consistent with the same period in 2019.

 

Despite the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, at this time we have not seen significant impacts to physical and economic occupancy for the entire MRB portfolio on average. We believe this is largely due to government relief programs that provide assistance to individuals, including affordable housing tenants, that have experienced economic hardship as a result of COVID-19. If COVID-19 continues to negatively impact the U.S. economy and such government relief programs are discontinued or curtailed, we anticipate there will be a negative impact on economic occupancy and physical occupancy in the future. Live 929 Apartments has seen significant decline in occupancy which is due to the property being primarily student housing, which has been more significantly impacted by COVID-19 than affordable multifamily properties.

 

Non-Consolidated Residential Properties - Not Stabilized

The owner of the following Residential Property does 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 this property on a consolidated basis.  This Residential Property has not met the stabilization criteria (see footnote 3 below the table) as of September 30, 2020. Debt service on the Partnership’s MRB for this non-consolidated non-stabilized property was current as of September 30, 2020.  The amounts presented below were obtained from records provided by the property owner and its related property management service provider.

(3)

This property is currently under construction.  As such, this property is not considered stabilized as it has not met the criteria for stabilization. A property is considered stabilized once it reaches 90% physical occupancy for 90 days and an achievement of 1.15 times debt service coverage ratio on amortizing debt service for a period after completion of the rehabilitation.

(4)

Physical and economic occupancy information is not available for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 as the property is under construction.

 

The Partnership had only one property that had not stabilized as of September 30, 2020. The property is still under construction and we expect Ocotillo Springs to stabilize in the third quarter of 2022.

MF Properties

As of September 30, 2020, we owned two MF Properties. We report the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of these properties on a consolidated basis.  For the three months ended September 30, 2020, both MF Properties met the stabilization criteria (see footnote 3 below the table). The 50/50 MF property is encumbered by mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $26.3 million as of September 30, 2020.  Debt service on our mortgage payables was current as of September 30, 2020.

A property is considered stabilized once it reaches 90% physical 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 and The 50/50 MF Property are student housing residential properties.

 

The physical occupancy and economic occupancy as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased as compared to the same period in 2019 due to a decrease in overall occupancy at the Suites on Paseo primarily due to the effects of COVID-19.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related closure of universities adjacent to our MF Properties may have a negative impact on economic occupancy and physical occupancy in the future. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is holding on-campus, in-person learning for the Fall 2020 term and residence halls are open. However, San Diego State University has suspended on campus, in person classes for the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters due to COVID-19 concerns. Residence halls remain open but at a reduced capacity. If the spread of COVID-19 continues, we may experience further declines in occupancy and collections related to our MF Properties.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

We are the only limited equity investor in various unconsolidated entities formed for the purpose of constructing market-rate, multifamily real estate properties. The Partnership determined the unconsolidated entities are VIEs but that the Partnership is not the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Partnership does not report the assets, liabilities and results of operations of these properties on a consolidated basis. The limited membership interests entitle the Partnership to shares of certain cash flows generated by the Vantage Properties from operations and upon the occurrence of certain capital transactions, such as a refinancing or sale. The amounts presented below were obtained from records provided by the property management service providers.

The Vantage Properties at O’Connor, Westover Hills and Tomball are currently under construction. All other properties are currently in the lease-up phase. Leasing activities at properties with available units have faced challenges due to social distancing measures imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through October 2020, the properties have continued to increase occupancy though at a slightly slower rate than before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Discussion of the Total Revenues and Other Income for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

Investment income. The decrease in investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due to the following factors:

 

A decrease of approximately $589,000 in investment interest income related to the PHC Certificates that were sold in January 2020;

 

Increases of approximately $428,000 and approximately $37,000 related to changes in volume and interest rates, respectively, of investments in the Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments segment. See discussion of volume and interest rate changes in the Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments segment previously included in Item 2; and

 

A net decrease of approximately $174,000 in investment income related to sales of investments in unconsolidated entities.

Discussion of the Total Expenses for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Real estate operating expenses.  Real estate operating expenses are related to MF Properties and are comprised principally of real estate taxes, property insurance, utilities, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, and salaries and related employee expenses of on-site employees. Real estate operating expenses increased slightly for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to higher salaries, wages and benefits at The 50/50 MF Property as compared to the same period in 2019.

 

Provision for credit loss. The provision for credit loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is related to the other-than-temporary impairment of the Live 929 Apartments MRB. There was no provision for credit loss recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Provision for loan loss. The provision for loan loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is related to the loan loss allowance established for the Live 929 Apartments property loan. There was no provision for loan loss recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Impairment charge on real estate assets. There was no impairment charge recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The impairment charge for the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to the land held for development in Gardner, KS.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization relate primarily to the MF Properties. The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due primarily to a decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $38,000 at The 50/50 MF Property due to real estate assets that became fully depreciated in mid-2019.

 

Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due to the following factors:

 

 

A decrease of approximately $1.8 million due to a decrease in effective interest rates of the debt financing portfolio as a result of recent refinancing activities and generally lower market interest rates;

 

A decrease of approximately $248,000 in amortization of deferred financing costs;

 

A net decrease of approximately $54,000 related to fair value adjustments to derivative financial instruments, net of cash paid; and

 

An increase of approximately $693,000 due to higher average principal outstanding.

 

General and administrative expenses.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $3.0 million in restricted unit compensation expense. Upon the closing of the acquisition by Greystone of AFCA 2 in September 2019, all outstanding restricted units vested and all previously unrecognized compensation expense was recognized. The remaining decrease is due to lower salaries and benefits expenses.    

 

Discussion of the Total Expenses for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Real estate operating expenses.  Real estate operating expenses are related to MF Properties and are comprised principally of real estate taxes, property insurance, utilities, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, and salaries and related employee expenses of on-site employees. Real estate operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were consistent with the same period in 2019.

Provision for credit loss. The provision for credit loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consists of other-than-temporary impairments of approximately $3.5 million related to the Live 929 Apartments MRB and approximately $1.8 million related to the Pro Nova 2014-1 MRB. There was no provision for credit loss recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Provision for loan loss. The provision for loan loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is related to the loan loss allowance established for the Live 929 Apartments property loan. There was no provision for loan loss recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Impairment charge on real estate assets. The impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 related to the land held for development in Gardner, KS.

 

59


 

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization relate primarily to the MF Properties. The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due primarily to a decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $266,000 at The 50/50 MF Property due to real estate assets that became fully depreciated in mid-2019.

 

Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was due to the following factors:

 

 

A decrease of approximately $4.3 million due to a decrease in effective interest rates of the debt financing portfolio as a result of recent refinancing activities and generally lower market interest rates;

 

A net decrease of approximately $562,000 related to fair value adjustments to derivative financial instruments, net of cash paid;

 

A decrease of approximately $188,000 in amortization of deferred financing costs; and

 

An increase of approximately $2.0 million due to higher average principal outstanding.

 

General and administrative expenses.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $3.0 million in restricted unit compensation expense. Upon the closing of the acquisition by Greystone of AFCA 2 in September 2019, all outstanding restricted units vested and all previously unrecognized compensation expense was recognized. The remaining decrease is due to lower salaries and benefits expenses, offset by higher professional fees.    

 

Discussion of the Income Tax Expense for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

A wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, the Greens Hold Co, is a corporation subject to federal and state income tax. The Greens Hold Co owns The 50/50 MF Property and certain property loans. The Greens Hold Co reported income tax benefit of approximately $68,000 and income tax expense of approximately $41,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to income tax benefit of approximately $68,000 and $9,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in income tax expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2019 is primarily due to improved results of operations at The 50/50 and book-tax differences related to depreciation of real estate assets.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We continually evaluate our potential sources and uses of liquidity, including consideration of past, current and potential future developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The information below is based on the Partnership’s current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends, which could materially differ from actual results. See the discussion of Risk Factors in Part II – Item 1A of this report for further information.  

Our short-term liquidity requirements over the next 12 months will be primarily distribution payments, operational expenses, investment commitments, and debt service (principal and interest payments) on our debt financings. We expect to meet these liquidity requirements primarily using cash on hand and operating cash flows from our investments and MF Properties.

Our long-term liquidity requirements will be primarily for maturities of debt financings and mortgages payable and additional investments in MRBs, GILs, property loans and unconsolidated entities. We expect to meet these liquidity requirements primarily through refinancing of maturing debt financings with the same or similar lenders, principal and interest proceeds from investments in MRBs and GILs, and proceeds from asset sales and redemptions. In addition, we will consider the issuance of additional Beneficial Unit Certificates (“BUCs”) and Series A Preferred Units based on needs and opportunities for executing our strategy.  

Sources of Liquidity

The Partnership’s principal sources of liquidity consist of:

 

Unrestricted cash on hand;

 

Operating cash flows from investments in MRBs, GILs and investments in unconsolidated entities;

 

Net operating cash flows from MF Properties;

 

Unsecured lines of credit;

60


 

 

Proceeds from our total return swap transactions;

 

Proceeds from obtaining additional debt;

 

Issuances of BUCs and Series A Preferred Units; and

 

Proceeds from the sale of assets.

Unrestricted Cash on Hand

As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership had unrestricted cash on hand of approximately $51.2 million. The Partnership is required to keep a minimum of $500,000 of unrestricted cash on hand under the terms of its TEBS debt financing arrangements. There are no other contractual restrictions of the Partnership’s ability to use cash on hand.

Operating Cash Flows from Investments

Cash flows from operations are primarily comprised of regular interest payments received on our MRBs and GILs that provide consistent cash receipts throughout the year. All MRBs and GILs are current on contractual debt service payments as of October 31, 2020. Receipts, net of interest expense on related debt financings and lines of credit balances, are available for general use by the Partnership. The Partnership also receives distributions from investments in unconsolidated entities if, and when, cash is available for distribution at the unconsolidated entities.

Receipt of cash from our investments in MRBs and investments in unconsolidated entities is dependent upon the generation of net cash flows at multifamily properties that underlie our investments. These underlying properties are subject to risks usually associated with direct investments in multifamily real estate, which include (but are not limited to) reduced occupancy, tenant defaults, falling rental rates, and increasing operating expenses. Receipt of cash from GILs is dependent on the availability of construction funding and the execution of certain equity commitments by the owners of the underlying properties.

Net Operating Cash Flows from MF Properties

Cash flows generated by MF Properties, net of operating expenses and mortgage debt service payments, are unrestricted for use by the Partnership. The MF properties are subject to risks usually associated with direct investments in multifamily real estate, which include (but are not limited to) reduced occupancy, tenant defaults, falling rental rates, and increasing operating expenses. As noted in the “Effects of COVID-19” section in this Item 2, the Suites on Paseo MF Property is experiencing a lower than historical occupancy. There is currently no mortgage associated with the Suites on Paseo MF Property and the property’s operating cash flows have been sufficient to meet all operational obligations through September 30, 2020. However, excess net cash flows from operations could be limited in the future due to continued lower occupancy.    

Unsecured Lines of Credit

We maintain two unsecured lines of credit with a financial institution. Our unsecured operating line of credit (“LOC”) allows for the advance of up to $10.0 million to be used for general operations. We are required to make repayments of the principal to reduce the outstanding principal balance on the operating LOC to zero for fifteen consecutive days during each calendar quarter. We fulfilled this requirement during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.  In addition, we have fulfilled this requirement for the fourth quarter of 2020. We have $10.0 million available on the operating LOC as of September 30, 2020. In July 2020, we extended the maturity of the unsecured operating line of credit to June 2022.

Our unsecured non-operating LOC allows for the advance of up to $50.0 million and may be utilized for the purchase of multifamily real estate, MRBs and taxable MRBs. Advances on the unsecured LOC are due on the 270th day following the advance date but may be extended by making certain payments for up to an additional 270 days. The unsecured non-operating LOC contains a covenant, among others, that the Partnership’s ratio of the lender’s senior debt will not exceed a specified percentage of the market value of the Partnership’s assets, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2020. We anticipate paying off the balances on our unsecured non-operating LOC by entering into debt financing arrangements, to be secured with the previously acquired MRBs or multifamily real estate. We have approximately $38.2 million available on the unsecured non-operating LOC as of September 30, 2020. In July 2020, we extended the maturity of the unsecured non-operating line of credit to June 2022. The $11.8 million outstanding balances of the non-operating LOC as of September 30, 2020 are due in December 2020 and March 2021, though the Partnership can extend final repayment of the amounts due in March 2021 to December 2021 by making partial repayments.

Proceeds from our Total Return Swap Transactions

In September 2020, we issued Secured Notes to Mizuho totaling $103.5 million. Concurrent with the issuance of the Secured Notes, the Partnership entered into two total return swap transactions with Mizuho to reduce the net interest cost related to the Secured Notes. The combined notional amount of the total return swaps is $103.5 million, which is the same as the outstanding principal balance of the Secured Notes.

The first total return swap has a notional amount of $40.0 million as of September 30, 2020. The Partnership’s interest rate on the notional amount is equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 3.75%, with an interest rate floor of 4.25%. We are required to maintain cash collateral with Mizuho equal to 35% of the notional amount, which was $14.0 million as of September 30, 2020. Approximately $1.2 million of cash collateral is held by Mizuho in a reserve account at U.S. Bank which will be released to the Partnership at such time as the Partnership can arrange for principal and interest payments related to the TEBS Financing residual certificates to be remitted directly to U.S. Bank, and which we expect to occur in the fourth quarter of 2020. The remaining $24.8 million was received as cash proceeds by the Partnership in September 2020.

The second total return swap has a notional amount of $63.5 million as of September 30, 2020. The Partnership’s interest rate on the notional amount is equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 0.50%, with an interest rate floor of 1.00%. We are required to maintain cash collateral with Mizuho equal to 100% of the notional amount as of September 30, 2020. Through March 2022, we have the option to reallocate notional amounts from the second total return swap to the first total return swap, in minimum increments of $10.0 million. Upon such a reallocation, cash equal to 35% of the notional amount reallocated will be posted as collateral for the first total return swap and 65% of the notional amount reallocated will be advanced as net proceeds to the Partnership for its general use. As of September 30, 2020, we have the option to reallocate up to $63.5 million of notional amount, which if fully reallocated will generate additional net cash proceeds of approximately $41.3 million for the Partnership’s general use.

Proceeds from Obtaining Additional Debt

We hold certain investments that are not associated with our debt financings, mortgages payable or non-operating LOC. The Partnership may obtain leverage for these investments by posting the investments as security. As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership’s primary unleveraged assets were the Suites at Paseo MF Property, with a net carrying value of approximately $34.3 million as of September 30, 2020, and certain MRBs with outstanding principal totaling approximately $21.0 million as of September 30, 2020. As noted previously in this report, the Suites on Paseo MF Property is experiencing lower than historical occupancy and operating results due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which could limit the amount of debt that could be obtained related to this asset. Of the MRBs, approximately $10.0 million is the Pro Nova 2014-1 MRB, for which the borrower has requested forbearance on future principal and interest payments and the Partnership is currently evaluating options, which could limit the ability to obtain leverage related to this MRB.

Issuances of BUCs and Series A Preferred Units

We may, from time to time, issue additional BUCs in the public market.  In December 2019, the Partnership’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (“Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the SEC under which the Partnership may offer up to $225.0 million of BUCs for sale from time to time. The Registration Statement will expire in December 2022.

The Partnership is authorized to issue Series A Preferred Units under the Partnership Agreement. As of September 30, 2020, we have issued 9,450,000 Series A Preferred Units for gross proceeds of approximately $94.5 million to five financial institutions. The Series A Preferred Units were issued in a private placement that was terminated in October 2017.  The Partnership may conduct additional private offerings of Series A Preferred Units in the future to supplement its cash flow needs, if the General Partner deems such offerings to be necessary and otherwise consistent with the Partnership’s strategic initiatives. The Partnership is able to issue Series A Preferred Units so long as the aggregate market capitalization of the BUCs, based on the closing price on the trading day prior to issuance of the Series A Preferred Units, is no less than three times the aggregate book value of all Series A Preferred Units, inclusive of the amount to be issued.

Proceeds from the Sale of Assets

We may, from time to time, sell our investments in MRBs, investments in unconsolidated entities and MF Properties consistent with our strategic plans. Our MRB portfolio is marked at a significant premium to cost, adjusted for paydowns, primarily due to higher stated interest rates when compared to current market interest rates for similar investments. We may consider selling certain MRBs in exchange for cash at prices that approximate our currently reported fair value. However, we are contractually prevented from selling the MRBs included in our TEBS financings.

62


 

Our ability to dispose of investments on favorable terms is dependent upon several factors including, but not limited to, the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase investments at prices we consider acceptable. In addition, potential adverse changes to general market and economic conditions may negatively impact our ability to sell our investments in the future.

In January 2020, we sold our PHC Certificates to an unrelated party and we received net proceeds of approximately $8.7 million, after the payment of principal, interest and expenses related to the collapse of the related secured TOB Trust financing. In June 2020, our investment in Vantage at Waco was redeemed upon the sale of the underlying property and we received cash of approximately $10.6 million related to the sale.

Uses of Liquidity

 

Our principal uses of liquidity consist of:

 

General and administrative expenses;

 

Distributions paid to holders of Series A Preferred Units and BUCs;

 

Investments in additional MRBs, GILs, property loans and unconsolidated entities;

 

Debt service on debt financings, Secured Notes and mortgages payable; and

 

Other contractual obligations.

General and Administrative Expenses

We use cash to pay general and administrative expenses of the Partnership’s operations.  For additional details, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II of this report, and the section captioned “Cash flows from operating activities” in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows set forth in Item 1 of this report. General and administrative expenses are typically paid from unrestricted cash on hand and operating cash flows.

Distributions Paid to Holders of Series A Preferred Units and BUCs

Distributions to the holders of Series A Preferred Units, if declared by the General Partner, are paid quarterly at an annual fixed rate of 3.0%.  The Series A Preferred Units are non-cumulative, non-voting and non-convertible.  

On September 16, 2020, we announced that the Board of Managers of Greystone Manager, which is the general partner of the General Partner, declared a quarterly distribution of $0.06 per BUC to unitholders of record on September 30, 2020 and payable on October 30, 2020.

The Partnership and its General Partner continually assess the level of distributions for the Series A Preferred Units and BUCs based on cash available for distribution, financial performance and other factors considered relevant, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investments in Additional MRBs, GILs, Property Loans and Unconsolidated Entities

Our overall strategy is to continue to increase our investment in quality multifamily properties through either the acquisition of MRBs, GILs, property loans or equity investments in both existing and new markets. We evaluate investment opportunities based on, but not limited to, our market outlook, including general economic conditions, development opportunities and long-term growth potential. Our ability to make future investments is dependent upon identifying suitable acquisition and development opportunities, access to long-term financing sources, and the availability of investment capital. The following table summarizes our outstanding investment commitments as of September 30, 2020:

This investment commitment is contingent upon the completion and stabilization of the underlying property.

Debt Service on Debt Financings and Mortgages Payable

Our debt financing arrangements consist of various secured financing transactions to leverage our portfolio of MRBs, GILs and certain property loans. The financing arrangements generally involve the securitization of MRBs, GILs and property loans into trusts whereby we retain beneficial interests in the trusts that provide certain rights to the underlying investment assets. The senior beneficial interests are sold to unaffiliated parties in exchange for debt proceeds. The senior beneficial interests require periodic interest payments that may be fixed or variable, depending on the terms of the arrangement, and scheduled principal payments. The Partnership is required to fund any shortfall in principal and interest payable to the senior beneficial interests of the TEBS Financings in the case of non-payment, forbearance or default of the borrowers’ contractual debt service payments of the related MRBs. In the case of forbearance or default on an MRB, GIL or property loan in a Term TOB or TOB financing, we may be required to fund shortfalls in principal and interest payable to the senior beneficial interests, repurchase a portion of the outstanding senior beneficial interests, or repurchase the MRB, GIL or property loan and seek alternative financing. In addition, the Partnership may be required to post collateral if the value of MRBs, GILs and property loans securitized in TOB Trust financings drop below a threshold in the aggregate. We anticipate that cash flows from the securitized assets will fund normal, recurring principal and interest payments to the senior beneficial interests and all trust-related fees.

Our Secured Notes are secured by the Partnership’s cash flows from the residual certificates associated with the TEBS Financings. Interest due on the Secured Notes, net of amounts due to the Partnership on the related total return swap transactions, will be paid from receipts related to the TEBS Financing residual certificates. Future receipts of principal related to the TEBS Financing residual certificates will be used to pay down the principal of the Secured Notes. The Partnership has guaranteed the payment and performance of the responsibilities under the Secured Notes and related documents. 

We actively manage both our fixed and variable rate debt financings and our exposure to changes in market interest rates. The following table summarizes our fixed and variable rate debt financings as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The securitized asset and related debt financing both have variable interest rates, though the variable rate indices may differ. As such, the Partnership is at least partially hedged against rising interest rates.

 

During 2019, we began to strategically diversify our lending relationships to reduce our exposure to Deutsche Bank. In April 2020, we terminated all outstanding arrangements with Deutsche Bank, consisting of the Term TOB Trust, Term A/B Trusts and Master Trust Agreement. The debt financing structures were collapsed and replaced with variable rate TOB Trust debt financings with Mizuho. The termination of the Master Trust Agreement with Deutsche Bank released the Partnership from various financial covenants that limited the Partnership’s liquidity and that exposed the Partnership to risk of covenant violations due to changes in its market capitalization, which is outside of the Partnership’s control.

In July 2020, we extended the maturity of all existing debt financings with Mizuho that were scheduled to mature within the next 12 months to July 2023. There were no additional changes to terms or fees associated with the amendment. We typically refinance arrangements with existing lenders, assuming the terms are acceptable to the Partnership. We may also explore other financing options with Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, other investment banks or other lenders in the market.  

Our mortgages payable financing arrangements are used to leverage The 50/50 MF Property. The mortgages are entered into with financial institutions and are secured by security interests in property. The mortgages bear interest at fixed rates and include scheduled principal payments. We anticipate that cash flows from The 50/50 MF Property will be sufficient to pay all normal, recurring principal and interest payments.

64


 

In February 2020, the Partnership refinanced The 50/50 MF Property mortgage loan with its existing lender.  The maturity date of the mortgage loan was extended seven years to April 2027 and the interest rate was fixed at 4.35%. In February 2020, the Partnership also refinanced The 50/50 MF Property TIF loan with its existing lender. The maturity date of the TIF loan was extended five years to March 2025 and the interest rate was lowered to 4.40%.

Other Contractual Obligations

We are subject to various guarantee obligations in the normal course of business, and, in most cases, do not anticipate these obligations to result in significant cash payments by the Partnership.

Leverage Ratio

We utilize leverage to enhance rates of return to our Unitholders. We use target constraints for each type of financing utilized by us to manage an overall 75% leverage constraint, as established by the Board of Managers of Greystone Manager, which is the general partner of the Partnership’s General Partner. The Board of Managers of Greystone Manager retains the right to change the leverage constraint in the future based on consideration of factors the Board of Managers considers relevant. The leverage utilized is dependent upon several factors, including, but not limited to, the assets being leveraged, the leverage program utilized, constraints of market collateral calls and the liquidity and marketability of the underlying collateral of the asset being leveraged. We define our leverage ratio as total outstanding debt divided by total assets using cost adjusted for paydowns for MRBs, GILs, property loans, and taxable MRBs, and initial cost for deferred financing costs and MF Properties. As of September 30, 2020, our overall leverage ratio was approximately 66%.  

Cash Flows

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we generated cash of $87.3 million, which was the net result of $12.6 million provided by operating activities, $30.2 million used in investing activities, and $104.9 million provided by financing activities.

 

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $12.8 million generated for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change between periods was primarily due to a decrease of $13.6 million in net income, offset by $10.5 million related to the gain on sale in an unconsolidated entity and $5.3 million related to the provision for credit loss.

 

Cash used in investing activities totaled $30.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to cash provided of $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change between periods was predominantly due to the following factors:

 

 

A decrease of $62.1 million due to advances on GILs;

 

A decrease of $12.4 million of proceeds from the sale of investments in unconsolidated entities;

 

A decrease of $11.4 million of principal payments received on property loans and contingent interest;

 

A decrease of $5.3 million due to advances on property loans;

 

A net increase of $38.6 million due to proceeds from the sale and principal payments related to the PHC Certificates; and

 

An increase of $9.7 million due to the reduction in purchases of mortgage revenue bonds.

 

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $104.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to cash used of $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change between periods was predominately due to the following factors:

 

A net increase in proceeds from debt financing of $98.2 million, primarily related to $103.5 million of proceeds from the issuance of Secured Notes to Mizuho in September 2020;

 

A net increase in borrowing on unsecured lines of credit of $21.1 million; and

 

An increase of $4.7 million due to a reduction in distributions paid.

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

Cash Available for Distribution

 

The Partnership believes that Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”) provides relevant information about the Partnership’s operations and is necessary, along with net income, for understanding its operating results.  To calculate CAD, the Partnership begins with net income as computed in accordance with GAAP and adjusts for non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation expense, amortization expense related to deferred financing costs, amortization of premiums and discounts, non-cash interest rate derivative expense or income, provisions for credit and loan losses, impairments on MRBs, GILs, PHC Certificates, real estate assets and property loans, deferred income tax expense (benefit) and restricted unit compensation expense. The Partnership also deducts Tier 2 income (see Note 3 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements) distributable to the General Partner as defined in the Partnership Agreement and Series A Preferred Unit distributions and accretion.  Net income is the GAAP measure most comparable to CAD. There is no generally accepted methodology for computing CAD, and the Partnership’s computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other companies.  Although the Partnership considers CAD to be a useful measure of the Partnership’s operating performance, CAD is a non-GAAP measure that should not be considered as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

The following table shows the calculation of CAD (and a reconciliation of the Partnership’s net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to CAD) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

As described in Note 3 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements, Net Interest Income representing contingent interest and Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest (Tier 2 income) will be distributed 75% to the limited partners and BUC holders, as a class, and 25% to the General Partner. This adjustment represents the 25% of Tier 2 income due to the General Partner.  

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Tier 2 loss allocable to the general partner related to the sale of the PHC Certificates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Tier 2 income consisted of $3.0 million of contingent interest realized on redemption of the Vantage at Brooks, LLC property loan in January 2019 and a $10.5 million gain on sale related to the Partnership’s investment in Vantage at Panama City Beach in September 2019.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we held MRBs and GILs that are collateralized by affordable multifamily properties and one commercial property.  The affordable multifamily properties and commercial property are owned by entities that are not controlled by us.  We have no equity interest in these entities and do not guarantee any obligations of these entities.  

The Partnership has entered into various commitments and guarantees. For additional discussions related to commitments and guarantees, see Note 19 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

We do not have any relationships or transactions with persons or entities that derive benefits from their non-independent relationships with us or our related parties, other than those disclosed in Note 22 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contractual Obligations

 

As discussed herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the debt obligation amounts maturing in 2020 consist of the principal to be paid on LOCs, various TOB debt financings with Mizuho, and payments on the MF Property mortgages payable.  Our strategic objective is to leverage our MRB and GIL portfolio utilizing long-term securitization financings either with Freddie Mac through its TEBS program or with other lenders with trust securitizations similar to the TOB Trust program with Mizuho and the Term TOB Trust program with Morgan Stanley. This strategy allows us to better match the duration of our assets and liabilities and to better manage the spread between our assets and liabilities.

 

The Partnership’s contractual obligations presented in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is incorporated by reference herein, have only changed pursuant to the executed contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as disclosed herein.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements that will be adopted in future periods, see Note 2 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in the general economy both globally and in the United States during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The information below is based on the Partnership’s current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends, which could materially differ from actual results. See the discussion of Risk Factors in Part II – Item 1A of this report for further information. With the exception of developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been no material changes in market risk, except as discussed below, from the information provided under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Mortgage Revenue Bonds Sensitivity Analysis

A third-party pricing service is used to value our MRBs. The pricing service uses a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analysis which encompasses judgment in its application.  The key assumption in the yield to maturity or call analysis is the range of effective yields of the individual MRBs.  The effective yield analysis for each MRB considers the current market yield of similar securities, specific terms of each MRB, and various characteristics of the property collateralizing the MRB such as debt service coverage ratio, loan to value, and other characteristics. We completed a sensitivity analysis which is hypothetical and is as of a specific point in time.  The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value and should be used with caution. The table below summarizes the sensitivity analysis metrics related to the investments in the MRBs as of September 30, 2020:

During the third quarter of 2020, Texas, California and South Carolina have experienced significant increases in COVID-19 cases, though there have been no significant declines in occupancy or materially lower rental collections at Residential Properties in these states to date.  Further spread of COVID-19 in these states may pose risk to the Partnership’s Residential Properties in the future.

Summary of Interest Rates on Borrowings and Derivative Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2020, the total costs of borrowing by investment type were as follows:

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

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

As the above information incorporates only those material positions or exposures that existed as of September 30, 2020, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. The ultimate economic impact of these market risks will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our risk mitigation strategies at that time and the overall business and economic environment.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

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

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

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The risk factors affecting the Partnership are described in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in each of the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, which are incorporated by reference herein. There have been no material changes from these previously disclosed risk factors for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, except for the risks disclosed in the following paragraphs.

The effects of the outbreak and continued spread of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"), or an outbreak of another highly infectious or contagious disease, may adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is dependent in large part on the willingness and ability of real estate developers to construct and operate the multifamily, residential, and commercial properties underlying the MRBs and other investments in the Partnership’s portfolio. The spread of a highly infectious or contagious disease, such as COVID-19, may cause severe disruptions in the U.S. economy, which may in turn disrupt the business, activities, and operations of our underlying investments, as well as our business and operations.

Since the beginning of January 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption in the financial and credit markets both globally and in the United States. The spread of COVID-19 has resulted in widespread elevated levels of unemployment in many regions of the U.S. and has caused financial hardship for tenants of multifamily real estate properties, which in many cases has caused a decrease in rent collections.  While economic activity in the U.S. is in the midst of a recovery since the initial outbreak of COVID-19 and the government-mandated stay-at-home orders in many states were instituted in March 2020, economic uncertainties resulting from these events and policies persist and are likely to continue for the foreseeable future.  An outbreak of another highly infectious or contagious disease may have similar adverse effects. The U.S. government has instituted and may continue to institute various relief measures intended to provide economic assistance to businesses and individuals, but it is uncertain if such relief measures will be sufficient for the tenants of multifamily real estate properties to avoid defaulting on their rent obligations, which would result in lower rent collections by lessors. In addition, many state and local governments have issued and may continue to issue regulations preventing the eviction of tenants for a period of time, which limits the ability of multifamily properties to replace non-paying tenants, which may further negatively impact rent collections. Lower rent collections will negatively impact the ability of the Residential Properties securing our MRBs to meet debt service obligations, which may cause MRBs to default or require us to provide supplemental property loans to avoid defaults. In such cases, our returns may be negatively impacted. In addition, defaults of MRBs, GILs and property loans in securitized trust financing arrangements may trigger requirements for us to post collateral to support the trusts or may cause a covenant default under our financing programs such that we may be required to collapse the financing arrangements or sell the underlying MRBs and cover any shortfall in proceeds. In March 2020, we were required to post additional collateral for a short period of time related to the TOB Trust financings due to fluctuations in market prices and the impact to the value of collateral. Similar fluctuations in the future may require us to post additional collateral, which may adversely impact our liquidity position. Lower rent collections at our MF Properties will decrease the net cash flows available to the Partnership for operations and additional investments. Lower rent collections at properties associated with our investments in unconsolidated entities will decrease the distributions received on our investments and negatively impact our returns. If COVID-19, or an outbreak of another infectious or contagious disease, causes prolonged disruptions in the general economy, overall occupancy rates and rental rates may decrease at multifamily properties and further negatively impact net cash flows. The outbreak of an infectious or contagious disease may cause colleges and universities to limit or suspend on-campus, in-person classes, which may negatively impact occupancy, rental rates and net cash flows at student properties, specifically our MF Properties and the Live 929 Apartments Residential Property.

COVID-19, or another highly infectious or contagious disease, may cause significant volatility in the financial markets and the performance of our underlying investments, which may negatively impair the value of various investments and cause us to recognize impairments. Such impairments may also require us to post additional collateral for our securitized trust financing arrangements, inhibit our ability to renew or obtain leverage for our investments, and lower the potential proceeds received on the sale of our investments. In addition, financial market volatility may prevent us from issuing additional BUCs or Series A Preferred Units, which would negatively impact our access to additional capital and liquidity.

COVID-19, or another highly infectious or contagious disease, may disrupt the supply chain for materials and labor required for the construction of MRB Residential Properties, properties related to our GILs and certain property loans, or multifamily properties that underlie our investments in unconsolidated entities, causing delays in construction leading to additional costs to complete construction. If such disruptions are severe, it may result in a default under the mortgage loans that secure our MRBs, GILs and certain property loans and cause us to foreclose on the properties or require us to provide supplemental financial support. If a property associated with an investment in an unconsolidated entity is not completed or costs more to complete than anticipated, it may cause us to receive smaller distributions than expected or prevent us from receiving a return on our investments or recovering our initial investment, which would adversely affect our results of operations. If such disruptions are severe and a managing member is unable to continue operating the property, we may take over ownership of or sell the property. In addition, the Partnership may be required to

70


 

reverse previously recognized preferred return investment income associated with these investments, negatively impacting our results of operations. In general, our overall return from our MRBs, GILs, property loans, and investments in unconsolidated entities is likely to be less than if the construction had been completed on time or within budget. Shelter-in-place and social distancing measures imposed as a result of COVID-19, or another highly infectious or contagious disease, will create challenges for the leasing of units and stabilization of projects that have completed construction. If such challenges persist for an extended period of time, it will negatively impact our returns and cash flows from these investments and may cause impairment losses in future periods.

COVID-19, or another highly infectious or contagious disease, may negatively impact our cash flows, financial position and results of operations to such an extent that the General Partner of the Partnership may determine to reduce distributions to the holders of our Series A Preferred Units and BUCs. Although we maintain contingency plans for pandemic outbreaks, a spread of COVID-19, or an outbreak of another infectious or contagious disease, could also negatively impact the availability of key personnel necessary to conduct our business activities.  Such a spread or outbreak could also negatively impact the business and operations of third-party service providers who perform critical services for us.

The extent to which COVID-19, or another highly infectious or contagious disease impacts our operations and those of our borrowers, tenants and investments will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any reasonable degree of certainty at this time, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Nevertheless, if COVID-19, or another highly infectious or contagious disease, continues to spread or the containment responses are unsuccessful, there could be significant negative impacts to our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are subject to various risks associated with our total return swaps.

We entered into total return swaps to reduce the net interest cost related to our Secured Notes. Our risks from total return swaps include the following:

 

Changes in interest rates can adversely affect the net interest cost of the total return swaps and related Secured Notes.

 

The counterparty may be unable to perform its obligations to us under the instrument.

 

The Partnership is required to post collateral associated with a decline in the fair value of the Secured Notes below the outstanding principal amount.

 

Upon termination of the total return swaps, the Partnership is required to cash settle any deficit associated with the fair value of the Secured Notes compared to the outstanding principal amount.

We are required to record the fair value of our total return swaps on our financial statements with changes recorded in current earnings. This can result in significant period to period volatility in our reported net income over the term of these instruments.
