BELPORT CAPITAL FUND LLC as of September 30, 2006
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Belport Capital Fund LLC (Belport Capital) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Fund) have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial highlights as of the dates and for the periods presented. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Fund’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended have been derived from the December 31, 2005 audited financial statements but do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Certain amounts in the prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
2 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, (FIN 48) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of SFAS No. 109”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Fund’s net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
Shareholders in Belport Capital are entitled to restructure their Fund Shares under what is termed an Estate Freeze Election. Under this election, Fund Shares are divided into Preferred Shares and Common Shares. Preferred Shares have a preferential right over the corresponding Common Shares equal to (i) 95% of the original capital contribution made in respect of the undivided Shares from which the Preferred
10
Shares and Common Shares were derived, plus (ii) an annuity priority return equal to 8.5% of the Preferred Shares’ preferential interest in the original capital contribution of the undivided Fund Shares. The associated Common Shares are entitled to the remaining 5% of the original capital contribution in respect of the undivided Shares, plus any returns thereon in excess of the fixed annual priority of the Preferred Shares. The existence of restructured Fund Shares does not adversely affect Shareholders who do not make an election nor do the restructured Fund Shares have preferential rights to Fund Shares that have not been restructured. Shareholders who divide Fund Shares under this election sacrifice certain rights and privileges that they would otherwise have with respect to the Fund Shares so divided, including redemption rights and voting and consent rights. Upon the twentieth anniversary of the issuance of the associated undivided Fund Shares to the original holders thereof, Preferre d and Common Shares will automatically convert into full and fractional undivided Fund Shares.
The allocation of Belport Capital’s net asset value per Share of $119.75 and $111.62 as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, between Preferred and Common Shares that have been restructured is as follows:

6 Interest Rate Swap Agreements
Belport Capital has entered into interest rate swap agreements with Merrill Lynch Capital Services, Inc. to fix the cost of a substantial portion of its borrowings under the Credit Facility and to mitigate in part the impact of interest rate changes on Belport Capital’s net asset value. Under such agreements, Belport Capital has agreed to make periodic payments at fixed rates in exchange for payments at floating rates. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments may not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these investments is meaningful only when considered in conjunction with all related assets, liabilities and agreements. Interest rate swap agreements in place at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are listed below.

7 Debt
A Credit Facility – In June 2006, Belport Capital amended its credit arrangement with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital, Inc. to increase the amount of the revolving loan facility by $60,000,000 to an aggregate principal amount of $114,000,000. Borrowings under this credit arrangement accrue interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus 0.38% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is paid on the unused commitment amount. As of September 30, 2006, outstanding borrowings under this credit arrangement totaled $53,500,000.
There were no changes to the terms of Belport Capital’s credit arrangement with DrKW Holdings, Inc. during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, outstanding borrowings under this credit arrangement totaled $218,500,000.
13
B Mortgage Notes – The mortgage agreements relating to the rental properties held by Monadnock require certain covenants to be met, including debt service coverage and loan to value ratios. Certain ratios have been affected by earnings deficiencies. Monadnock has an infinite period to cure the shortfall and, in the interim, is required to post temporary collateral in the form of cash or a letter of credit. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, Monadnock posted temporary collateral in the aggregate amount of $3,886,313 until it demonstrates to the lender that the required ratios have been met. Such amount is classified as escrow deposits and is restricted on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
C Notes Payable – Belport Capital and the minority shareholder of Monadnock loaned amounts to the Monadnock real estate joint venture to fund the purchases of certain real property. The notes are expected to be repaid with proceeds from sales of real property held by Monadnock. The notes bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of 8.75% . The entire outstanding principal balance of the notes, plus all accrued unpaid interest thereon is due and payable at maturity, generally one year from the date of inception of each note. All balances and transactions related to the notes payable due to Belport Capital have been eliminated through consolidation of the financial statements. The principal balances due to Belport Capital and the minority shareholder of Monadnock at September 30, 2006 amount to $40,023,100 and $13,341,033, respectively. The accrued and unpaid interest at September 30, 2006 due to Belport Capital and the minority shareholder of Monadnock amount to $120,043 and $54,120, respectively.
D Average Borrowings and Average Interest Rate – For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the average balance of borrowings under the Credit Facility and mortgage notes payable was approximately $257,400,000 and $361,100,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 5.22% and 6.78%, respectively.
Belport Capital pursues its investment objective primarily by investing indirectly in the Portfolio through Belvedere Company. The Portfolio is a diversified investment company that emphasizes investments in common stocks of domestic and foreign growth companies that are considered by its investment adviser to be high in quality and attractive in their long-term investment prospects. The Fund’s revenue includes the Fund’s pro rata share of Belvedere Company’s net investment income. Separate from its investment in Belvedere Company, Belport Capital invests in real estate assets through its subsidiary, Belport Realty. Belport Realty invests directly and indirectly in Partnership Preference Units and indirectly in real property through its controlled subsidiaries, Bel Multifamily Property Trust (Bel Multifamily) and Monadnock. The Fund’s revenues from the real estate assets primarily consist of consolidated rental income from Bel Multifamily and Monadnock and distribution incom e from Partnership Preference Units.
Belport Capital evaluates performance of the reportable segments based on the net increase (decrease) in net assets from operations of the respective segment, which includes net investment income (loss), net realized gain (loss) and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The Fund’s Credit Facility borrowings and related interest expense are centrally managed by the Fund. A portion of the Credit Facility borrowings and related interest expense have been allocated to the real estate segment for presentation purposes herein. Credit Facility borrowings allocated to the real estate segment primarily consist of net amounts borrowed to purchase the Fund’s interest in real estate investments. The Fund’s interest rate swap agreement balances are disclosed as part of the real estate segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for Belport Capital on a consolidated basis. No reportable segments have been aggregated. Reportable informat ion by segment is as follows:
9 Contingencies
As part of a legal settlement, the operating partner of Monadnock agreed to make capital improvements to five properties held by Monadnock at September 30, 2006. The reasonableness of such expenditures will be reivewed by Monadnock's Board. It is not determinable at this time as to whether costs will be incurred by Monadnock. However, if costs are incurred by Monadnock, management does not expect that such capital improvements will have a significant impact to the Fund's net asset alue.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A).
The information in this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “might,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. The actual results of Belport Capital Fund LLC (the Fund) could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. The Fund undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Factors that could affect the Fund’s performance include a decline in the U.S. stock markets or in general economic conditions, adverse developments affecting the real estate industry, or fluctuations in interest rates.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1 above.
MD&A for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to the Quarter Ended September 30, 2005.
Performance of the Fund.(1)The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term, after-tax returns for shareholders. Eaton Vance Management (Eaton Vance), as the Fund’s manager, measures the Fund’s success in achieving its objective based on the investment returns of the Fund, using the S&P 500 Index as the Fund’s primary performance benchmark. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged market index of common stocks commonly used as a measure of U.S. stock market performance. Eaton Vance’s primary focus in pursuing total return is on the Fund’s common stock portfolio, which consists of its indirect interest in Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio). The Fund invests in the Portfolio through its interest in Belvedere Capital Fund Company LLC (Belvedere Company). The Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Portfolio primarily due to its investments outside the Portfolio. In measuring the performance of the Fu nd’s real estate investments, Eaton Vance considers whether, through current returns and changes in valuation, the real estate investments achieve returns that over the long-term exceed the cost of the borrowing incurred to acquire such investments and thereby add to Fund returns. The Fund has entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the cost of a substantial portion of its borrowings under the Credit Facility (described under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below) and to mitigate in part the impact of interest rate changes on the Fund’s net asset value.
The Fund’s total return was 4.70% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. This return reflects an increase in the Fund’s net asset value per share from $114.37 to $119.75 during the period. The total return of the S&P 500 Index was 5.66% over the same period. Last year, the Fund had a total return of 3.96% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. This return reflected an increase in the Fund’s net asset value per share from $104.15 to $108.28 during the period. The S&P 500 Index had a total return of 3.60% over the same period.
Performance of the Portfolio.For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Portfolio had a total return of 4.57%, which compares to the 5.66% total return of the S&P 500 Index over the same period. An equity rally during the third quarter of 2006 was fueled by a double-digit drop in oil prices and a continued pause in interest rate hikes. Better than expected earnings results, positive consumer trends and encouraging merger and acquisition activity during the quarter also contributed to the rally, despite the existence of housing and economic concerns. During the quarter, large-cap and value investments were clear winners over small-cap and growth investments.
During the quarter, health care, telecommunications and information technology were top performing S&P 500 Index sectors, while the energy and materials sectors were the worst performing sectors. Market leading industries in the third quarter included software, diversified telecommunications and pharmaceuticals. In contrast, internet and catalog retailers and construction industries were among the weakest performing industries.
The Portfolio remained broadly diversified with no significant sector allocation changes during the quarter. The Portfolio’s underweighting of the strong-performing health care, utilities and telecommunications sectors detracted from relative returns during the quarter. While the Portfolio’s overweighting of the energy sector remained a positive contributor to its longer-term performance, commodity price declines during the quarter negatively impacted the Portfolio’s energy
(1) | Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value with all distributions reinvested. The Portfolio’s total return for the period reflects the total return of another fund that invests in the Portfolio adjusted for non-Portfolio expenses of that fund. Performance is for the stated time period only and is not annualized; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher. The performance of the Fund and the Portfolio is compared to that of their benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. |

equipment and service holdings. Similarly, while the Portfolio’s long-term emphasis of the aerospace and defense and the air freight and logistics industries has been beneficial, price weaknesses during the quarter negatively impacted the Portfolio’s returns. Additionally, the Portfolio’s underweighted position versus the S&P 500 Index of software and office electronics stocks within the technology sector hindered quarterly results.
The Portfolio’s performance during the third quarter of 2006 benefited from its overweighting of the strong-performing consumer staples and financials sectors. The Portfolio’s investments within the household products, capital markets and diversified finance industries also were particularly beneficial during the period. In addition, the strong relative performance of the Portfolio’s holdings within multi-line retailers and construction stocks contributed positively to returns during the quarter.
Performance of Real Estate Investments.The Fund’s real estate investments are held through Belport Realty Corporation (Belport Realty). As of September 30, 2006, real estate investments included majority interests in two real estate joint ventures (Real Estate Joint Ventures), Bel Multifamily Property Trust (Bel Multifamily) and Monadnock Property Trust LLC (Monadnock), and a portfolio of income producing preferred equity interests in real estate operating partnerships that are affiliated with and controlled by real estate investment trusts (REITs) that are publicly traded (Partnership Preference Units). Bel Multifamily and Monadnock own multifamily properties. As of September 30, 2006, the estimated fair value of the Fund’s real estate investments represented 28.6% of the Fund’s total assets on a consolidated basis. After adjusting for the minority interest in Bel Multifamily and Monadnock, the Fund’s real estate investments represented 30.7% of the Fund’ ;s net assets as of September 30, 2006.
Monadnock completed the acquisition of a multifamily property for approximately $41.4 million in April of 2006 and a second multifamily property for approximately $48.9 million in August of 2006. The properties were acquired to replace three multifamily properties which Monadnock sold to third parties during the third quarter for approximately $74.5 million, recognizing a loss of approximately $10.3 million on these transactions.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, rental income from real estate operations was approximately $19.2 million compared to approximately $17.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $2.0 million or 12%. This increase in rental income from real estate operations was principally due to higher rental revenue at the continuing properties held by Bel Multifamily and Monadnock and the acquisitions by Monadnock referenced above. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, rental income increased principally due to the acquisition of an additional property by Monadnock in November 2004 and higher rental revenues at both Bel Multifamily and Monadnock.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, property operating expenses were approximately $8.8 million compared to approximately $7.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $1.0 million or 13%. The increase in property operating expenses was due to higher property operating expenses at the properties held by both Monadnock and Bel Multifamily and the acquisitions by Monadnock referenced above. Property operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased principally due to Monadnock’s ownership of more properties referenced above and modestly higher expenses at the continuing properties held by Bel Multifamily and Monadnock. Improvements in multifamily property operating conditions are being seen in numerous markets around the country, reflecting a better supply/demand balance. Boston Management and Research (Boston Management), the Fund’s investment adviser, expects this favorable trend to continue, although higher operating expenses and c apital expenditures are expected to offset a part of the improvement in rental income.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Fund saw unrealized appreciation of the estimated fair value of its other real estate investments (which include Bel Multifamily and Monadnock) of approximately $15.6 million compared to unrealized appreciation of approximately $3.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Net unrealized appreciation of approximately $15.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was due to net increases in the estimated fair values of the properties held by Bel Multifamily and Monadnock. Estimated fair values have increased due to both modest growth expected in near-term property earnings and to lower capitalization and discount rates applied in valuing properties. Net unrealized appreciation of approximately $3.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was due to net increases in the estimated fair values of the properties held by Bel Multifamily and Monadnock.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Fund saw net unrealized appreciation of the estimated fair value of its Partnership Preference Units of approximately $1.4 million compared to net unrealized depreciation of approximately $1.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The net unrealized appreciation of approximately $1.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to increases in the per unit values of Partnership Preference Units. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, estimated fair values were positively impacted by
17
declining interest rates. The net unrealized depreciation of approximately $1.1 million at September 30, 2005 resulted from decreases in the per unit values of Partnership Preference Units held, due primarily to increasing long-term interest rates.
Distributions from Partnership Preference Units for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were approximately $0.6 million compared to approximately $0.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of $0.3 million or 33%. The decrease was principally due to fewer Partnership Preference Units held on average during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the decrease in distributions was due principally to fewer Partnership Preference Units held on average, as well as lower average distribution rates for the Partnership Preference Units held during the quarter.
Performance of Interest Rate Swap Agreements. For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, net realized and unrealized losses on the Fund’s interest rate swap agreements totaled approximately $3.3 million, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of approximately $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Net realized and unrealized losses on swap agreements for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 consisted of $4.0 million of unrealized depreciation due to changes in swap agreement valuations offset in part by $0.7 million of periodic payments received pursuant to outstanding swap agreements (and classified as net realized gains on interest rate swap agreements in the Fund’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, net realized and unrealized gains on swap agreements consisted of unrealized appreciation of $3.6 million on swap agreement valuation changes offset in part by $0.2 million of swap agreeme nt periodic payments. The negative impact on Fund performance for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from changes in swap agreement valuations was attributable to a decrease in swap rates during the period. The positive contribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 from changes in swap agreement valuations was attributable to an increase in swap rates during the period.
MD&A for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005.
Performance of the Fund.The Fund’s total return was 8.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This return reflects an increase in the Fund’s net asset value per share from $111.62 to $119.75 and a distribution of $1.42 per share during the period. The S&P 500 Index had a total return of 8.52% over the same period. Last year, the Fund had a total return of 5.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This return reflected an increase in the Fund’s net asset value per share from $103.95 to $108.28 and a distribution of $1.24 per share during the period. The S&P 500 Index had a total return of 2.77% over the same period.
Performance of the Portfolio.For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Portfolio had a total return of 7.68%, which compares to the 8.52% total return of the S&P 500 Index over the same period. In the first half of 2006, U.S. equity markets posted mixed results as positive earnings and corporate indicators were offset by economic, inflation and geopolitical concerns. In the third quarter, a continued pause in interest rate hikes and significant energy price declines fueled an equity rally. Better than expected earnings results, healthy consumer trends and increased merger and acquisition activity also positively influenced market activity during the period. During the first three quarters of 2006, style and market capitalization leadership trends remained unchanged from the same period last year as small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks and the performance of value stocks, particularly within the large-cap space, remained ahead of growth stocks.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, telecommunications, energy and financials were the top performing S&P 500 Index sectors, while information technology, materials and health care were the worst. Market leading industries in the first nine months of 2006 included diversified telecommunications services, automotive and independent power producers. In contrast, internet and catalog retailers, household durables and diversified consumer service industries were among the weakest performing industries.
The Portfolio’s sector allocation at September 30, 2006 remained broadly similar to that as of September 30, 2005, with a slight increase to the industrials, consumer discretionary and health care sectors and a slight decrease to the energy and telecommunications sectors. The Portfolio’s de-emphasis of the stronger-performing telecommunications and utilities sectors coupled with relatively weaker performance of the Portfolio’s energy and health care stocks were the primary detractors to the Portfolio’s relative returns versus the S&P 500 Index over the first three quarters of 2006. Sub-par performance of the Portfolio’s investments in biotechnology and multi-line retail industries also hurt relative returns.
The Portfolio’s overweighting of the strong-performing consumer staples and financials sectors and de-emphasis of the lagging information technology sector were beneficial to the Portfolio during the period. In addition, the Portfolio benefited from relatively stronger performance of its holdings within the machinery and metals and mining industries.
18
Performance of Real Estate Investments.During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, rental income from real estate operations was approximately $56.2 million compared to approximately $51.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $5.1 million or 10%. This increase in rental income from real estate operations was principally due to higher rental revenue at the continuing properties held by Bel Multifamily and Monadnock and the acquisitions of multifamily properties by Monadnock referenced above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, rental income from real estate operations increased principally due to Monadnock’s ownership of more properties.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, property operating expenses were approximately $24.7 million compared to approximately $24.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $0.7 million or 3%. This increase in property operating expenses was principally due to higher property operating expenses at both Monadnock’s and Bel Multifamily’s continuing properties, and the acquisitions of multifamily properties by Monadnock referenced above. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, property operating expenses increased principally due to Monadnock’s ownership of more properties and also due to modestly higher expenses for continuing operations. The estimated fair value of the real properties indirectly held through Belport Realty was approximately $665.5 million at September 30, 2006 compared to approximately $608.3 million at December 31, 2005, a net increase of $57.2 million or 9%. This net increase in the estimated fair values of the real properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was principally due to the acquisition of multifamily properties by Monadnock, offset in part by the sale of multifamily properties by Monadnock referenced above, and due to net increases in the estimated fair values of multifamily properties held by Bel Multifamily and Monadnock. Estimated fair values have increased due both to growth expected in near-term property earnings and to lower capitalization and discount rates applied in valuing the properties.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Fund saw net unrealized appreciation in the estimated fair values of its other real estate investments (which include Bel Multifamily and Monadnock) of approximately $30.6 million compared to approximately $53.3 million of unrealized appreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of $22.7 million. Net unrealized appreciation of $30.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was due to net increases in the estimated fair values of the properties held by Bel Multifamily and Monadnock. Net unrealized appreciation of $53.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was due to increases in the estimated fair values of the properties held by Bel Multifamily and Monadnock.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Belport Realty acquired interests in additional Partnership Preference Units for approximately $17.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Belport Realty also sold certain of its Partnership Preference Units for approximately $34.2 million (representing sales to real estate investment affiliates of other investment funds advised by Boston Management), recognizing a net gain of approximately $1.0 million on the transactions. At September 30, 2006, the estimated fair value of Belport Realty’s Partnership Preference Units was approximately $37.6 million compared to approximately $54.4 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $16.8 million or 31%. The net decrease in the estimated fair values was principally due to fewer Partnership Preference Units held at September 30, 2006 and decreases in the per unit values of the Partnership Preference Units held. Estimated fair values for Partnership Preference Units were negatively impacted by rising interest rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The Fund saw net unrealized depreciation in the estimated fair value of its Partnership Preference Units of approximately $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to net unrealized depreciation of approximately $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The net unrealized depreciation of approximately $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 consisted of approximately $0.1 million of unrealized depreciation as a result of decreases in the per unit values of Partnership Preference Units during the period and approximately $0.9 million of unrealized depreciation resulting from the recharacterization of previously recorded unrealized appreciation as realized gains due to the sales of Partnership Preference Units. The net unrealized depreciation of approximately $1.6 million during the first nine months of 2005 consisted of approximately $0.8 million of unrealized appreciation as a result of increases in the per unit values of Partner ship Preference Units held during the period offset by approximately $2.4 million of unrealized depreciation resulting from the recharacterization of previously recorded unrealized appreciation as realized gains due to the sales of Partnership Preference Units.
Distributions from Partnership Preference Units for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were approximately $1.4 million compared to approximately $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of $1.4 million or 50%. The decrease was principally due to fewer Partnership Preference Units held on average during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Distributions from Partnership Preference Units decreased during the first nine months of 2005
19
principally due to fewer Partnership Preference Units held on average and lower average distribution rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Performance of Interest Rate Swap Agreements.For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net realized and unrealized gains on the Fund’s interest rate swap agreements totaled approximately $1.5 million, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of approximately $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Net realized and unrealized gains on swap agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 consisted of $1.5 million of periodic payments received pursuant to outstanding swap agreements (and classified as net realized gains on interest rate swap agreements in the Fund’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net realized and unrealized gains on swap agreements consisted of unrealized appreciation of $3.8 million on swap agreement valuation changes offset in part by $1.2 million of swap agreement periodic payments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, changes in sw ap rates for swaps with maturities comparable to the Fund’s swaps were modest, resulting in minimal impact to the Fund’s performance from changes in swap agreement valuations. The positive contribution to Fund performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from changes in swap agreement valuations was attributable to an increase in swap rates during the period for swaps with maturities comparable to those of the Fund’s swaps.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. |
Outstanding Borrowings.The Fund has entered into credit arrangements with DrKW Holdings, Inc. and Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital, Inc. (collectively, the Credit Facility) primarily to finance the Fund’s real estate investments. The Fund will continue to use the Credit Facility for such purpose in the future. The Credit Facility may also be used for other purposes, including any liquidity needs of the Fund. In the future, the Fund may increase the size of the Credit Facility (subject to lender consent) and the amount of outstanding borrowings thereunder. As of September 30, 2006, the Fund had outstanding borrowings of $272.0 million and unused loan commitments of $59.0 million under the Credit Facility.
The Fund has entered into interest rate swap agreements with respect to a substantial portion of its borrowings under the Credit Facility. Pursuant to these agreements, the Fund makes periodic payments to the counterparty at predetermined fixed rates in exchange for floating-rate payments that fluctuate with one-month LIBOR. During the terms of the outstanding interest rate swap agreements, changes in the underlying values of the agreements are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. As of September 30, 2006, the accumulated unrealized appreciation related to the interest rate swap agreements was approximately $7.2 million. As of December 31, 2005, the accumulated unrealized appreciation related to the interest rate swap agreements was approximately $7.2 million.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk.The Fund’s primary exposure to interest rate risk arises from its real estate investments that are financed by the Fund with floating rate borrowings under the Credit Facility and by fixed-rate secured mortgage debt obligations of Bel Multifamily and Monadnock. Partnership Preference Units are fixed rate instruments whose values will generally decrease when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. The interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility are reset at regular intervals based on one-month LIBOR. The Fund has entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the cost of a substantial portion of its borrowings under the Credit Facility and to mitigate in part the impact of interest rate changes on the Fund’s net asset value. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Fund makes cash payments at fixed rates in exchange for floating rate payments that fluctuate with one-month LIBOR. The Fund’s interest rate swap agreements will generally increase in value when interest rates rise and decrease in value when interest rates fall. In the future, the Fund may use other interest rate hedging arrangements (such as caps, floors and collars) to fix or limit borrowing costs. The use of interest rate hedging arrangements is a specialized activity that can expose the Fund to significant loss.
The following table summarizes the contractual maturities and weighted-average interest rates associated with the Fund’s significant non-trading financial instruments. The Fund has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. This information should be read in conjunction with Notes 6 and 7 to the Fund’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 above.
