Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P.

Effective as of June 1, 2001 there was a restructuring, and as a result, the Fund's general partner was reorganized as follows. The General Partner of the Fund continues to be Boston Capital Associates III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The general partner of the General Partner is now BCA Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, whose sole general partner is C&M Management, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and whose limited partners are Herbert F. Collins and John P. Manning. Mr. Manning is the principal of Boston Capital Partners, Inc. The limited partner of the Gen eral Partner is Capital Investment Holdings, a general partnership whose partners are certain officers and employees of Boston Capital Partners, Inc., and its affiliates. The Assignor Limited Partner is BCTC III Assignor Corp., a Delaware corporation which is wholly-owned by Herbert F. Collins and John P. Manning.
Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the Fund filed a Form S-11 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective January 24, 1992 which covered the offering (the "Public Offering") of the Fund's beneficial assignee certificates ("BACs") representing assignments of units of the beneficial interest of the limited partnership interest of the Assignor Limited Partner. The Fund registered 20,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in one or more series. On September 4, 1993 the Fund filed an amendment to Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which registered an additional 2,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in one or more series. The registration for the additional BACs became effective on October 6, 1993. Offers and sales of BACs in Series 15 through 19 of the Fund were completed and the last of the BACs in Series 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 were issued by the Fund on September 26, 1992, December 28, 1992, September 17, 1993, September 22, 1993, and December 17, 1993, respectively.

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS
The Fund's taxable loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 is expected to differ from its loss for financial reporting purposes. This is primarily due to accounting differences in depreciation incurred by the Operating Partnerships and also differences between the equity method of accounting and the IRS accounting methods. No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in these financial statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the partners and assignees individually.
Item 2. Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The Fund's primary source of funds is the proceeds of its Public Offering. Other sources of liquidity will include (i) interest earned on capital contributions held pending investment and on Working Capital Reserves and (ii) cash distributions from operations of the operating Partnerships in which the Fund has and will invest. Interest income is expected to decrease over the life of the Fund as capital contributions are paid to the Operating Partnerships and Working Capital Reserves are expended. The Fund does not anticipate significant cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships.
The Fund is currently accruing the fund management fee. Fund management fees accrued during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 were $625,978 and total fund management fees accrued as of June 30, 2005 were $21,168,367. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, such liabilities will be deferred until the Fund receives sales of refinancing proceeds from Operating Partnerships which will be used to satisfy such liabilities. The Funds working capital and sources of liquidity coupled with affiliated party liability accruals allow sufficient levels of liquidity to meet the third party obligations of the Fund. The Fund is currently unaware of any trends which would create insufficient liquidity to meet future third party obligations of the Fund.
As of June 30, 2005, an affiliate of the general partner advanced a total of $696,708 to the Partnership to pay certain operating expenses of the Partnership, and to make advances and/or loans to Operating Partnerships. These advances are included in Accounts payable-affiliates. A total of $878 was advanced during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Below is a summary, by series, of the total advances made to date.
2005 | |
Series 17 | $635,362 |
Series 18 | 61,346 |
$696,708 |
All payables to affiliates will be paid, without interest, from available cash flow or the proceeds of sales or refinancing of the Partnership's interests in Operating Partnerships.

As of June 30, 2005 and 2004 the Fund held limited partnership interests in 237 and 239 Operating Partnerships, respectively. In each instance the Apartment Complex owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the Federal Housing Tax Credit. Initial occupancy of a unit in each Apartment Complex which complied with the Minimum Set-Aside Test (i.e., initial occupancy by tenants with incomes equal to no more than a certain percentage of area median income) and the Rent Restriction Test (i.e., gross rent charged tenants does not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to hereinafter as "Qualified Occupancy." Each of the Operating Partnerships and each of the respective Apartment Complexes are described more fully in the Prospectus or applicable report on Form 8-K. The General Partner believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.
The Fund incurred a fund management fee to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership (formerly Boston Capital Communications Limited Partnership) in an amount equal to .5 percent of the aggregate cost of the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of certain asset management and reporting fees paid by the Operating Partnerships. The fund management fees incurred, net of reporting fees received, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 for Series 15, Series 16, Series 17, Series 18 and Series 19 were $102,010, $155,591, $109,197, $88,240, and $48,046 respectively.
The Fund's investment objectives do not include receipt of significant cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which it has invested or intends to invest. The Fund's investments in Operating Partnerships have been made principally with a view towards realization of Federal Housing Tax Credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.
Series 15
As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, the average qualified occupancy for the series was 99.9%. The series had a total of 66 properties June 30, 2005. Out of the total 65 were at 100% qualified occupancy.
For the period ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, Series 15 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(554,883) and $(529,870), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $835,793 and $875,714, respectively.
In an attempt to capitalize on the strong California real estate market the Operating General Partner of Hidden Cove Apartments (Hidden Cove) entered into an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed in May 2003. As part of the purchase agreement, the buyer is required to maintain the property as affordable housing through the end of the tax credit compliance period and, to provide a recapture bond to avoid the recapture of the tax credits that have been taken. Sale proceeds due to Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund I-Series 3 (BCTC I) and Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III-Series 15 (BCTC III) were $1,572,368 and $136,352, respectively. The majority of the sale proceeds were received by the Investment Partnerships in May 2003, and the balance was received in September 2003. Of the proceeds received $1,240,404 and $107,565, for Series 3 and Series 15, respectively was distributed to the investors in July 2004. This represented a per BAC distributions of $.430 and $.028 for Series 3 and 15 , respectively. The total returned to the investors was distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor. The amounts for each series, while different in actual dollars, represent the same percentage of return to each Investment Partnership. The remaining proceeds total of $360,750 was paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale and partial reimbursement of amounts payable to affiliates. The breakdown of the amount to be paid to BCAMLP is as follows: $10,000 represents reimbursement of expenses incurred related to sale, which includes but is not limited to due diligence, legal and mailing costs; $50,000 represents a fee for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property; and $300,750 represents a partial payment of outstanding Asset Management Fees due to BCAMLP. At the time of the sale, the Operating General Partners retained some funds in an account in the name of the Operating Partnership to cover costs that would be incurred in the process of dissolving the Operating Partnership entity. These funds were not fully utilized and the ILP share of the remaining funds were paid in April 2005. The totals received were $9,163 for Series 3 and $795 for Series 15. The amounts have been added to each Series available reserves and were recognized in the gain on the sale of the property as of March 31, 2005. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the ILP's investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the ILP investment in the Operating Partnership to zero for Series 3 and $66,166 for Series 15. Accordingly, the gains on the sale of the property were recorded by Series 3 and Series 15 of $1,535,521 and $28,992, respectively. The gains recorded represented the proceeds received by the ILP, net of their remaining investment balance, unreimbursed advances to the Operating Partnership and their share of the disposition fee.
School Street I Limited Partnership (School Street Apts. I), is a 24-unit complex, located in Marshall, Wisconsin. Average occupancy for the first quarter of 2005 is 69%. Occupancy at the property has dropped due to an increase in evictions for non-payment of rent. Average vacancies in the area are running 15%-17%. In January 2005, Management decreased the rent levels by $50 and eliminated the water and sewer surchange. A resident referral program was also initiated. The property is advertising in local publications, rental publications and the Madison, Wisconsin newspaper. As a result, traffic continued to pick up during the second quarter and occupancy was 83% as of June 30, 2005. The site manager was replaced in the end of May 2005 and is on a part-time basis. The new site manager has also lowered the base rents by $100 and has discontinued the surcharge for water and sewer. In mid-July, 2005, occupancy remained at 83%. Operations remain below breakeven due to high operating expenses and vacancy loss. The Operating General Partner continues to fund any operating cash deficits. The mortgage, taxes, insurance and accounts payables are current. The current mortgage for this development expired in December of 2004. The original mortgage note has a provision whereby at the lenders sole discretion the mortgage may be extended five years. The Operating General Partner obtained a one-year extension from the lender to pursue alternative financing. The Operating General Partner was able to refinance the current mortgage with a four-year loan with the first two years requiring monthly interest payments only. The loan amortizes over a thirty-year period and is guaranteed by the principals of the Operating General Partner. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 220 basis points. In addition, the Operating General Partner requested that the Investment Limited Partnership assist in funding operating deficits through the end of the compliance period which occurs in 2007. The Investment Limited Partnership agreed to advance funds over time in quarterly amounts equal to 25% of the operating deficit up to $25,000 through the end of the compliance period. In the secord quarter of 2005 the Investment Limited Partnership advanced $1,500 to the property.
Beckwood Manor Eight Limited Partnership (Lakeside Apartments) is a 32-unit, senior property, located in Lake Village, Arkansas. Average physical occupancy in 2004 was 80%. Despite low occupancy in 2004, the property operated above breakeven with DSCR of 1.10. In the first half of 2005, occupancy was 82%; however, the property is operating well above breakeven, generating $6,850 of cash. The low occupancy is due to a lack of qualified residents in the Lake Village area. To increase rental traffic to the property, the management company has been advertising heavily in surrounding area newspapers. In January 2004, to enhance revenue, Rural Development allowed management to increase rental rates from $450 to $510 for one bedroom apartments and from $500 to $560 for two bedroom apartments. The property can support rental increases because the residents only pay 30% of their monthly income with the rest covered by rental assistance. The mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current.
Livingston Plaza, Limited (Livingston Plaza) is a 24-unit, family property located in Livingston, Texas. Average occupancy in the second quarter of 2005 was 85%.

In April 2005, the Investment General Parter visited the property and noted that the buildings and landscaping were in good condition. The Investment General Partner also works with the management company to discuss more effective marketing and outreach strategies to increase traffic. All taxes, insurance and mortgage payments are current. The Operating General Partner guarantee is unlimited in time and amount.
Osage Housing Associates Limited Partnership (Spring Creek Apartments II) is a 50-unit family property located in Derby, Kansas, a suburb of Wichita. Occupancy reflected a 92% rate at the end of the second quarter of 2005. Occupancy suffered in the latter half of 2004 and can be attributed to a newer apartment complex, which was built two miles from the subject property. Since that time occupancy has regained its prior good standing. The property benefits from a strong regional property manager and on site manager, a great design with unit updates, an on site children's playground and strong preventative maintenance. The Operating General Partner, MRV, Inc., funded operating deficits in 2004 despite an expired guarantee and has stated that they will continue to fund any deficit.
Greentree Apartments Limited (Sue Ellen Apartments) is a 24-unit family property located in Utica, Ohio. Utica is a small rural town of about 2,000 residents 40 miles outside of Columbus.

Of the estimated proceeds, it is expected that $700,257, $235,742, $1,074,778, and $989,026, for Series 12, Series 14, Series 15, and Series 17, respectively, will be distributed to the investors. Provided this is the actual amount distributed, this represented a per BAC distribution of $.236, $.042, $.278, and $.198, for Series 12, Series 14, Series 15, and Series 17, respectively. The remaining estimated proceeds of $643,691 are anticipated to be paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale and partial reimbursement for amounts owed to affiliates.

The tax credit compliance period ends on December 31, 2006.
Lake View Associates (Lake View Green Apartments) is a 24 unit property located in Lake View, SC. The compliance period for the property ends in 2007. Low occupancy, due to the lack of much needed rental assistance has hindered this property's performance. Occupancy averaged 88% in 2004, but has dropped to 71% through the second quarter of 2005. Management is experiencing difficulty finding tenants able to pay the rental rates currently necessary to sustain the property. Due to federal and state cutbacks, applicants are not receiving the rental assistance payments that were expected when the property was originally underwritten. Management has proposed a 20% rent reduction to its local housing authority as its only viable option to increase occupancy. Unless the property receives additional rental assistance subsidies or the rents are reduced, management predicts occupancy will continue to decline. Current operations yield a debt coverage ratio of approximately 0.50 and annualized cash expenditure of $540 per unit. The mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current. The General Partner's obligation to fund operating deficits is unlimited in time and amount.
Buena Vista Apartments, Phase II (Buena Vista Apartments) is a 44 unit property located in Union, SC. The property is unable to break even due to low rental rates. Industrial decline in the area has led to a dwindling population base from which to draw residents. As a result, the property has been forced to reduce rents to maintain occupancy. Even at 100% occupancy, the property is unable to break even at the current rent levels. Physical occupancy averaged 91% in 2004 and improved to 98% in the first quarter of 2005 but fell to 93% during the second quarter due to lease turnover in June. Management is aggressively marketing the property and does not anticipate problems leasing the apartments. Also, the management company is attempting to reduce the tax burden and further bring expenses in line. Mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current. The Operating General Partner's Guarantee is unlimited in time and amount, with the compliance period for this property ending in 2007.
Series 16
As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, the average qualified occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 64 properties at June 30, 2005, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.
For the period ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, Series 16 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(610,084) and $(791,640), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1,099,969 and $1,103,537, respectively.
Autumnwood Limited Partnership (Autumnwood Heights) is a 40-unit property for the elderly located in Keysville, Virginia. The property struggled with occupancy in 2004, which led to a cash loss of ($12,319) and a DSCR of .61. Maintenance expenses increased as a result of high turnover, which further contributed to the operating deficit. Occupancy has since rebounded to an average of 98% in the second quarter of 2005. Management has been successful in reducing operating expenses to just below the state average, producing a DSCR of .92 as of June 2005. The General Partner anticipates that operations will continue to improve at this property and believes the development will operate above breakeven by the end of the year.
Cass Partners, L.P. (The Fitzgerald Building) is a 20-unit family property, located in Plattsmouth, NE, that continues to operate below breakeven due to low occupancy. Through the fourth quarter of 2004, average physical occupancy remained at 35%. In the second quarter 2005 physical occupancy increased to 55%. Although occupancy has steadily increased, a downtown location, lack of parking and amenities such as washer/dryer hook-ups continue to impact occupancy at this property. The General Partner has taken property management in-house and this has positively impacted the marketing and management of the property, as evidenced by increased occupancy during the first half of 2005. The mortgage and insurance are current; however the real estate taxes for 2003 and 2004 are overdue. The Operating General Partner is working with the city to establish a payment plan.
Clymer Park Associates Limited Partnership (Clymer Park Apartments) located in Clymer, Pennsylvania is a 32-unit elderly development. The 2004 audited financial statement indicates operations above breakeven due to improvements in occupancy. As of June 30, 2005 occupancy at the property is 96%. The management company currently maintains a significant waiting list of pre-qualified tenants and is currently processing several applications. The Operating General Partner continues to monitor the Operating Partnership.
Mid City Associates (Mid City Apartments) is a 58 unit, scatter site family property located in Jersey City, NJ. The property operated with an average occupancy rate of 95% in 2004.

The Operating General Partner indicated that he would continue to fund shortfalls if needed despite the expiration of the guarantee. The mortgage and taxes are current.
Summersville Estates Limited Partnership (Summersville Estates) is a 24-unit property located in Summersville, Missouri. Second quarter 2005 occupancy has increased to 78%. The reduced operating income has hindered turnover repairs to several vacant units. Management tried to get approval from Rural Development (RD) to use Replacement Reserve funds for the renovations; however, RD would not approve the withdrawal. In December 2004 Management hired a new property manager who also performs maintenance duties. He has concentrated on getting the vacant units rent-ready and has successfully improved occupancy. The second quarter shows that the property is generating cash, despite the fact that expenses for the vacant unit improvements have been paid out of operating income. Boston Capital's Asset Management will continue to work with Management on getting all of the vacant units rent-ready and will continue to monitor operations closely until operations have stabilized.
St. Croix Commons Limited Partnership (St. Croix Commons Apartments) is a 40-unit, family property located in Woodville, Wisconsin. The property operated with an average occupancy of 82% for the year 2004. Based on the most recent information received occupancy has increased slightly to an average of 83% as of June 2005. Operating expenses continue to stay below the state average. Because of the high vacancy rate and the low rental rates in the area, the property did not achieve breakeven operations through the second quarter of 2005. The management agent continues to market the available units by, working closely with the housing authority and continuing various marketing efforts to attract qualified residents. The Operating General Partner continues to financially support the Operating Partnership. The mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current.
Davenport Housing Associates (Crystal Ridge Apartments) is a 126 unit family property located in Davenport Iowa. Occupancy reflected an 82% rate at the end of the second quarter of 2005. Expenses per unit are currently below state averages. The property suffers from high debt service, reflecting an interest rate of 9%. The General Partner has expressed that they intend to refinance the mortgage at more favorable terms, in the third quarter of 2005. The decrease in interest rates should allow the property to produce a positive cash flow for 2005. The Operating General Partner, MRV, Inc. funded operating deficits in 2004 despite an expired guarantee and has stated that they will continue to fund any deficit.
1413 Leavenworth Historic, L.P. (Lofts By The Market Apartments) is a 60 unit historic development located on the fringe of the historic warehouse district in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The original developer/general partner is still in place and continues to fund the operating deficits. The property operated with positive cash flow through 1999, although unresolved tax credit compliance issues accumulated, including the receipt of 8823s. Since 2000, ineffective management and the cost of repairing deferred maintenance items in 2002 resulted in the property operating with a substantial negative cash flow. Over the past three years, there have been four different management companies retained to manage the property. This inconsistency has contributed to the cash flow and compliance problems currently plaguing the property. On June 1, 2003, management of the property was transferred to Fieldcrest Management. Fieldcrest is an entity related to the Operating General Partner that was formed to take over t he management of the Operating General Partner's assets. It is hoped that the Operating General Partner's close relationship with the managing agent will encourage him to provide the resources and cooperation necessary to assure the management company's success in operating the property effectively. Current major issues include inconsistent physical and economical occupancy, high operating expenses and past tax credit compliance issues. On December 31 2004, the property manager reported physical occupancy at 95% and stabilizing. Economic occupancy is reported to be improving proportionately. The management company has implemented expense controls and is working to decrease payables. While the property is still operating with an annual operating deficit of $36,000, this represents an improvement of $257,000 compared to the deficits incurred in 2003. If occupancy and operations continue to stabilize, the Operating General Partner may be able to obtain new financing with a lower interest rate in 2005. Curre nt tenant files are being audited for tax compliance standards. Prior year 8823s continue to be reviewed to determine if issues can still be addressed. In May 2005 the Operating General Partner obtained a lenders commitment to refinance the current debt on the property. The Investment Limited Partner has approved the commitment and proposal from the Operating General Partner to enter into the new mortgage and is reviewing the terms of entering into a separation agreement. The mortgage is expected to close in August and it is hoped that an agreement can be reached during the third quarter of 2005.

Of the proceeds received $352,768 and $24,748, for Series 3 and Series 17, respectively, was distributed to the investors in July 2004. This represented a per BAC distribution of $.122 and $.005 for Series 3 and 17, respectively. The total returned to the investors was distributed based on the nu mber of BACs held by each investor at the time of the sale. The amounts for each series, while different in actual dollars, represent the same percentage of return to each Investment Partnership. The remaining proceeds total of $107,418 was paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale, and partial reimbursement of amounts payable to affiliates. The breakdown of the amount to be paid to BCAMLP is as follows: $10,000 represents reimbursement of expenses incurred related to sale, which includes but is not limited to due diligence, legal and mailing costs; $50,000 represents a fee for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property; and $47,418 represents a partial payment of accrued asset management fees. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the ILP's investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the ILP investment in the Operating Partnership to zero for Series 3 and $28,682 f or Series 17. Accordingly, gains on the sale of the property were recorded as of March 31 2004 by Series 3 and Series 17 of $406,422 and $3,109, respectively. The gains recorded represented the proceeds received by the ILP, net of their remaining investment balance and their share of the disposition fee.
Midland Housing L.P. (Stratford Place Apartments) (series 17) is a 53 unit, family/elderly property, located in Midland, MI. The average occupancy for 2004 was 79%, and slightly increased in the first half of 2005 to 80%. The site manager stated the primary cause for the low occupancy was competition from home ownership due to low interest rates and low home values in the market area. There are also three affordable housing communities in this town, all competing with each other. Management continues to offer incentive programs such as reduced rents of $100 per month for the first 6 months, and resident referrals are being implemented to raise occupancy. The Operating General Partner is expecting the occupancy to improve with the current marketing efforts. The Operating General Partner continues to fund operating deficits. The mortgage, real estate taxes and insurance are current.
Operations at Palmetto Properties Ltd. (Palmetto Villas) have historically suffered from low occupancy and significant deferred maintenance issues. Occupancy through December 2004 has averaged 88%. Occupancy has improved slightly, averaging 91% through the second quarter of 2005. The property is currently operating above breakeven due to reduced operating expenses, however the replacement reserve has not been funded at required levels. At December 31, 2003 real estate taxes were delinquent for the years 2001-2003 in the amount of $85,416. In February 2004, Rural Development (RD) agreed to voucher the 2001 and 2002 unpaid taxes. The 2003 taxes were paid from property operations. In an effort to make the property financially solvent, Rural Development is working towards re-amortizing the total loan amount thus easing the burden on the property for all outstanding balances due. It is anticipated that the re-amortization will be complete by September 2005. Management has also requested additional Ren tal Assistance, and a rent increase of $30 per unit. Rural Development has verbally agreed to the rent increase pending completion of the re-amortization. The Operating Partnership is faced with deferred maintenance issues. There is evidence of damage to some of the concrete patios, which are washing out, as there are no gutters to divert the rainfall. There is a drainage problem at the base of the driveways. The kitchen counters and cabinets are old. The property is experiencing problems with the cracking of water pipes. The pipes are apparently buried only 5 inches below the surface. Management has focused on funding the tax and insurance escrow to avoid any further delinquencies in paying the property taxes, and was able to pay the 2004 taxes in November 2004. Once the debt is reamortized, the focus will be on replenishing reserves in order to cure deferred maintenance issues. The Investment General Partner continues to monitor the situation.

Operating expenses totaled $3,465 per unit, compared to the IREM regional average of $2,844. The Debt Coverage Service Ratio for 2004 was 0.7. Because of the operating expense burden, the partnership depleted much of its replacement reserves.

This has significantly improved the property's cash flow for the second quarter 2005. During the first quarter, occupancy averaged 98% and the project was 100% occupied throughout the second quarter.
Henson Creek Manor Associates Limited Partnership (Henson Creek Manor) is a 105-unit development located in Fort Washington, MD.

As of June 30, 2005 and 2004 the average qualified occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 34 properties at June 30, 2005, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.
For the period ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, Series 18 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(446,700) and $(667,157), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $652,684 and $656,204, respectively.
Series 18 has invested in 4 Operating Partnerships (the "Calhoun Partnerships") in which the Operating General Partner initially was Reimer Calhoun, Jr., or an entity, which was affiliated with or controlled by Reimer Calhoun (the "Reimer Calhoun Group"). The Operating Partnerships are: Leesville Elderly Apts., Lockport Elderly Apts., Natchitoches Elderly Apts., and Vivian Elderly Apts. The affordable housing properties owned by the Calhoun Partnerships are located in Louisiana and consist of approximately 174 apartment units in total. The low income housing tax credit available annually to Series 18 from the Calhoun Partnerships is approximately $523,397, which is approximately 11% of the total annual tax credit available to investors in Series 18.
In the summer of 2002, the US Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana notified the Investment General Partner that the Reimer Calhoun group was under investigation by several federal agencies for the alleged manipulation of property cost certifications. In early 2003, the Investment General Partner learned that the US Attorney intended to bring criminal charges against certain members of the Reimer Calhoun group for falsifying the certified cost basis upon which the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency determined the tax credit calculation with respect to approximately 40 Operating Partnerships in which Series 18 is not an investor. The Investment General Partner used these certifications in determining the tax credits investors would receive through their investment in the Calhoun Partnerships. In effect, it appears that the contractor that built the apartment properties (an affiliate of Mr. Calhoun's) overbilled the respective Operating Partnerships, thereby improperly inflating the cost certificat ion and the amount of tax credit generated.
In late March 2003, Reimer Calhoun, Jr. pleaded guilty to charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit equity skimming. At that time, the Investment General Partner obtained $1,282,202, currently held in escrow, from Reimer Calhoun for the purpose of offsetting any potential losses to tax credits caused by Mr. Calhoun's fraud.
On September 25, 2003, judgment in a criminal case was entered against Reimer Calhoun, Jr. and TF Management, Inc. On Count 1, alleging wire fraud, Reimer Calhoun, Jr. was sentenced to 60 months in the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons. On Count 2, Mr. Calhoun received a concurrent 60-month sentence. Mr. Calhoun's prison sentence began on October 13, 2003. Mr. Calhoun was further fined $500,000 and ordered to pay restitution of $4,363,683 to various parties. The amount of restitution ordered paid to the Investment General Partner was $1,559,723. This amount includes the monies previously paid by Mr. Calhoun. The additional $277,521 was received in December 2003.
The Investment General Partner has cooperated fully with the US Attorney in the investigation, and there has been no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of it or any of its affiliates.
In 2003, the Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Calhoun partnerships in order to determine the amount of overstated tax credits. The Investment General Partner has reached a resolution with the IRS whereby the adjustments to tax credits will be made only for the tax years 2004 and thereafter in order to avoid amending tax returns already filed for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003. Final Closing Agreements were entered into with the IRS for each of the partnerships on May 25, 2005. At this point, the Investment Partnerships have incurred substantial legal and accounting costs based upon Mr. Calhoun's fraud. It is further anticipated that the $1,559,723 will be sufficient to fully protect the investors and provide restitution to the Investment Partnerships affected.
With respect to each of the Calhoun Partnerships either (a) Reimer Calhoun's controlling interest in the Operating General has been assigned to Murray Calhoun, the son of Reimer Calhoun or (b) in some cases the Operating General Partner entity itself has been replaced with a new entity controlled by Murray Calhoun and in which Reimer Calhoun has no interest. Murray Calhoun is the principal of Calhoun Property Management, L.L.C., which has provided property level management services for the apartment properties owned by the Calhoun Partnerships. Murray Calhoun also cooperated fully with the criminal investigation of his father, and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have confirmed directly with the US Attorney that no evidence was found of any wrongdoing on the part of Murray Calhoun.
Murray Calhoun and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have all undertaken discussions with the Rural Housing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in its capacity as first mortgage lender for each of the Calhoun Partnerships, to make sure that all of the mortgage loans are and will continue to be in good standing notwithstanding the overstated credit and the criminal prosecution resulting therefrom. RHS has also indicated that it will consent to the replacement of general partners noted above.
In addition, Murray Calhoun and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have entered into agreements which (a) cause Murray Calhoun to guarantee performance of all of the obligations to limited partners previously guaranteed by Reimer Calhoun, (b) tighten up the consent rights of the Investment General Partner in connection with changing general partners,
management agents and partnership accountants, and (c) clarify the rights of the Investment General Partner to remove a general partner in the future in the event of certain specified events.
Westminster Meadow L.D.H.A. LP (Westminster Meadow Apartments) is a 64 unit (63 LIHTC, 1 Market) property located in Grand Rapids, MI. Historically the property has operated with high occupancy ranging in mid 90% and above break even. However, in 2004 average occupancy declined to 85% and resulted in cash expended of $35,000, which was funded by increasing payables by $43,000. Occupancy levels through the second quarter of 2005 average 83%. The GP has stated the market in Grand Rapids has been very soft since the beginning of 2004. The management company is focusing on ways to improve occupancy. The management company is currently reviewing their outreach marketing effort to determine if additional staff or consultants are needed to help the sales program. The management company is also offering $126/month off scheduled rents, and $1 security deposits if prospective tenants move in within two weeks of application. The site manage is also authorized to offer 1 month free rent to close a deal. Th e current rent concessions make the one-bedroom units very competitive in the market place, which historically have commanded higher rents than older competing properties.
Glen Place Apartments (Glen Place Apartments) operated with an average occupancy of 96% through 2004. Based on the most recent information received occupancy has decreased slightly to an average of 92% as of June 2005. The operating expenses continue to stay below the state average. Despite the strong occupancy level, the low rental rates in the area prevented the property from achieving breakeven operations through the second quarter of 2005. The management agent continues to market the available units by working closely with the housing authority and continuing various marketing efforts to attract qualified residents. The Operating General Partner continues to financially support the partnership. The mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current.
Arch Development, LP, (Arch Apartments) is a 75-unit property located in Boston, Massachusetts providing low-income housing to homeless, HIV positive and very low income tenants. Occupancy increased from 83% in the first quarter to 90% in the second quarter 2005. The second quarter financial report show below break-even operations, primarily due to a large mortgage interest payment paid in April 2005. Although some of the payables and accrued expenses from prior years were paid down in 2004, these accounts still have high balances. Previously, the property was delinquent in their water, sewer, and real estate payments to the City of Boston and had not consistently met the terms of the established payment agreement; however payments through the second quarter 2005 are current. Management recently began discussions with the Boston Housing Authority (BHA) to reduce vacancy losses and improve the timing of subsidy payments. Some improvement has been seen in the subsidy receivables; however, Management is sti ll in discussions with the BHA regarding improving application turnover time. The Investment General Partner is closely monitoring the overall performance of this partnership and will continue to do so until operations have improved and stabilized. The Operating General Partner has an unlimited guarantee in time and amount.
Bear Creek of Naples (Bear Creek Apartments) is a 120-unit family development in Naples, Florida. The Management Company is a related entity to the Operating General Partner. In late 2004, the Operating General Partner discovered mismanagement at the site level and took immediate steps to cure, including staffing changes. During this process, it was discovered that the tax credit files were being inadequately kept. The Investment General Partner dispatched its compliance department to conduct a full audit on all files, issuing a detailed report to the Operating General Partner. The Operating General Partner subsequently hired a third-party tax credit compliance consultant to assist in the correction of all non-compliance issues. The Investment General Partner has closely monitored the progress of this issue and all non-compliance issues have been addressed by the Florida housing agency's deadline of April 30, 2005. The compliance consultant will continue to review the property's files bi-annually f or the next two years. The Operating General Partner has funded operating deficits and as of the second quarter of 2005, occupancy has climbed from a low of 78% in November 2003 to 98% as of June 2005.
Chelsea Square Development Limited Partnership (Chelsea Square Apartments) is a 6-unit property located in Chelsea, Massachusetts. Occupancy improved over the second quarter of 2005 to 100%; however, the property is still expending cash due to low occupancy in the first quarter and high unit turnover costs in the second quarter. In addition, the commercial spaces were vacant for most of 2004 and the first two quarters of 2005 because the City of Chelsea delayed issuing Building Permits due to outstanding trash violation fees. The Operating General Partner has paid these charges, the City has released the Building Permits for those spaces, and as of July 1, 2005 three of the four spaces are occupied. The Investment General Partner is closely monitoring the overall performance of this partnership and will continue to do so until operations have improved and stabilized. The property's mortgage and property insurance are current. The Operating General Partner's operating deficit guarantee is unlimited as to time and amount.
Lathrop Properties, L.P. (Lathrop Properties) is a 24-unit property located in Lathrop, Missouri. In the second quarter of 2005 occupancy increased to 96% from 88% in the first quarter. The property is still expending cash due to the low occupancy of the first quarter and significant groundwork and unit turnover performed in the second quarter. Asset Management will work with Management in an effort to receive approval for some of the maintenance and grounds costs to be reimbursed from the Replacement Reserve. The Investment Limited Partner will continue to monitor occupancy and operations closely until operations has stabilized.
Parvin's L.P. (Parvin's Branch Townhouses) is a 24-unit family property located in Vineland, New Jersey. Credit delivery began in 1993 and continued through 2003. The property operated below breakeven in 2005. The property expended cash due to high debt service (specifically high interest rate of 10.5%) and high operating expenses. The average occupancy for 2004 was 92% and has improved to 100% in the first half of 2005. The Investment General Partner has suggested the Operating General Partner investigate refinancing the property. The Operating General Partner continues to fund operating deficits.
Evergreen Hills Associates, L.P. (Evergreen Hills Apartments) is a 72-unit property located in Macedon, NY. The property has historically operated below breakeven. The problem has been attributed to high operating expenses and historically low occupancy. New management has been effective in their marketing efforts, and their ability to identify a pool of qualified tenants. As a result, occupancy has increased to 100% through the second quarter of 2005. They also have established a waitlist of qualified tenants. Rent collections have improved, and receivables have been significantly reduced. Management has stopped offering rent concessions. The current focus of management is on controlling operating expenses. They have reduced the number of full time leasing staff, and are doing more maintenance in house. The only services currently contracted out are snow removal and carpet cleaning. The Operating General Partner has funded prior years operating shortfalls. The mortgage, trade payables, and tax es are all current. The property will continue to be monitored until operations stabilize.
Humboldt I, L.P. (Briarwood Apartments) is a 20-unit property located in Humboldt, IA. The property is operating below breakeven due to steadily decreasing occupancy and rental revenues. Occupancy averaged 82.5% in 2004, and has dropped to 75% as of July 2005. Management is advertising in local newspapers and through outreach with various housing programs. The challenges cited by Management include the inability to rent to full time students, problem tenants that required eviction and limitations due to the state of the local economy. The property is operating under a workout plan approved by Rural Development. The Investment General Partner will continue to closely monitor the property until occupancy improves and operations stabilize.
Series 19
As of June 30, 2005 and 2004 the average qualified occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 26 properties at June 30, 2005, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.
For the period ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, Series 19 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(391,184) and $(435,187), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $705,006 and $706,899, respectively.
Series 19 has invested in 3 Operating Partnerships (the "Calhoun Partnerships") in which the Operating General Partner initially was Reimer Calhoun, Jr. or an entity, which was affiliated with or controlled by Reimer Calhoun (the "Reimer Calhoun Group"). The Operating Partnerships are: Hebbronville Apts., Lone Star Seniors Apts., and Martindale Apts. The affordable housing properties owned by the Calhoun Partnerships are located in
Texas and consist of approximately 68 apartment units in total. The low income housing tax credit available annually to Series 19 from the Calhoun Partnerships is approximately $78,750, which is approximately 1% of the total annual tax credit available to investors in Series 19.
In the summer of 2002, the US Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana notified the Investment General Partner that the Reimer Calhoun group was under investigation by several federal agencies for the alleged manipulation of property cost certifications. In early 2003, the Investment General Partner learned that the US Attorney intended to bring criminal charges against certain members of the Reimer Calhoun group for falsifying the certified cost basis upon which the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency determined the tax credit calculation with respect to approximately 40 Operating Partnerships in which Series 19 is not an investor. The Investment General Partner used these certifications in determining the tax credits investors would receive through their investment in the Calhoun Partnerships. In effect, it appears that the contractor that built the apartment properties (an affiliate of Mr. Calhoun's) overbilled the respective Operating Partnerships, thereby improperly inflating the cost certificat ion and the amount of tax credit generated.
In late March 2003, Reimer Calhoun, Jr. pleaded guilty to charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit equity skimming. At that time, the Investment General Partner obtained $1,282,202, currently held in escrow, from Reimer Calhoun for the purpose of offsetting any potential losses to tax credits caused by Mr. Calhoun's fraud.
On September 25, 2003, judgment in a criminal case was entered against Reimer Calhoun, Jr. and TF Management, Inc. On Count 1, alleging wire fraud, Reimer Calhoun, Jr. was sentenced to 60 months in the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons. On Count 2, Mr. Calhoun received a concurrent 60-month sentence. Mr. Calhoun's prison sentence began on October 13, 2003. Mr. Calhoun was further fined $500,000 and ordered to pay restitution of $4,363,683 to various parties. The amount of restitution ordered paid to the Investment General Partner was $1,559,723. This amount includes the monies previously paid by Mr. Calhoun. The additional $277,521 was received in December 2003.
The Investment General Partner has cooperated fully with the US Attorney in the investigation, and there has been no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of it or any of its affiliates.
In 2003, the Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Calhoun partnerships in order to determine the amount of overstated tax credits. The Investment General Partner has reached a resolution with the IRS whereby the adjustments to tax credits will be made only for the tax years 2004 and thereafter in order to avoid amending tax returns already filed for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003. Final Closing Agreements were entered into with the IRS for each of the partnerships on May 25, 2005. At this point, the Investment Partnerships have incurred substantial legal and accounting costs based upon Mr. Calhoun's fraud. It is further anticipated that the $1,559,723 will be sufficient to fully protect the investors and provide restitution to the Investment Partnerships affected.
With respect to each of the Calhoun Partnerships either (a) Reimer Calhoun's controlling interest in the Operating General Partner has been assigned to Murray Calhoun the son of Reimer Calhoun or (b) in some cases the Operating General Partner entity itself has been replaced with a new entity controlled by Murray Calhoun and in which Reimer Calhoun has no interest. Murray Calhoun is the principal of Calhoun Property Management, L.L.C., which has provided property level management services for the apartment properties owned by the Calhoun Partnerships. Murray Calhoun also cooperated fully with the criminal investigation of his father, and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have confirmed directly with the US Attorney that no evidence was found of any wrongdoing on the part of Murray Calhoun.
Murray Calhoun and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have all undertaken discussions with the Rural Housing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in its capacity as first mortgage lender for each of the Calhoun Partnerships, to make sure that all of the mortgage loans are and will continue to be in good standing notwithstanding the overstated credit and the criminal prosecution resulting there from. RHS has also indicated that it will consent to the replacement of general partners noted above.
In addition, Murray Calhoun and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have entered into agreements which (a) cause Murray Calhoun to guarantee performance of all of the obligations to limited partners previously guaranteed by Reimer Calhoun, (b) tighten up the consent rights of the
Investment General Partner in connection with changing general partners, management agents and partnership accountants, and (c) clarify the rights of the Investment General Partner to remove a general partner in the future in the event of certain specified events.
Carrollton Villa, L.P. (Carrollton Villa) located in Carrollton, Missouri has historically operated below breakeven as a result of low occupancy and reduced rent levels. Occupancy at the property averaged 87% in 2004. The primary problem is that Carrolton, Missouri has experienced significant economic decline. All of the major employers have relocated and rent decreases were required to attract potential residents. After the Operating General Partner interests were transferred to a non-profit agency, management also changed. When the new management took over, they found numerous non-paying residents who they had to evict. After this round of evictions, occupancy dropped and management has not been able to re-lease the units. Occupancy averaged 78% through the second quarter of 2005. Management is currently offering one month free rent as well as one-month free rent for resident referrals. They have expanded their outreach and advertising to attract potential residents from bordering communities. Upon transfer to the nonprofit Operating General Partner, the mortgage became a cash flow only mortgage, which has helped in significantly reducing the negative cash flow. The taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current.
Jeremy Associates L.P. (Coopers Crossing Apartments) a 93-unit family development located in Las Colinas, Texas operated below breakeven during 2003. Occupancy changes and the overall decline in the sub-market during 2003 and 2004 are related to increased competition with other tax credit communities. To remain competitive, the property increased advertising and outreach marketing to local business and retail centers, reduced prices on two and three bedrooms to remain competitive with newer conventional product with more amenities, increased hours of operation to include Sundays and increased internet advertising. Average occupancy through year-end 2004 is 88.6% and trending up to 96% for the second quarter of 2005.
The property also experiences high operating costs attributed to foundation and stress cracks identified in an engineers report conducted in 2003. The report revealed foundation movement in five buildings. Between 2001 and 2003 a total of $61,310 in foundation work was completed. In 2004 capital expenditures reflect monies for immediate repair to rebuild three stair towers and two landings related to foundation movement at total cost of $23,140. Metal perimeter fence repair on the west side of the community that re-braced due to ground movement and car damage at total cost of $5,290 were completed in March 2004. Other capital work consisted of carpet replacements, vinyl replacement, boiler repairs, a new heat exchanger and swimming pool repair work related to code changes. There was no foundation work completed in 2004. The overall estimate to complete the foundation work and address the interior issues as a result of the movement is estimated at $170,000. However, several emergency repairs were need ed to rebuild three deteriorating stair towers, resulting from foundation movement. The Operating General Partner continues to monitor movement in the five buildings identified in the engineer's report and address the issues as they presented. In 2005, it is anticipated that $37,000 of capital work would be completed unrelated to the building movement issues.
The Investment General Partner continues to visit the property and review the work completed to date. Discussions regarding the future improvements with the Operating General Partner are on going. The Investment General Partner will continue to work with the Operating General Partner through the completion of the improvements and the reduction of the operating expenses. The mortgage, trade payables, property taxes and insurance are current.
Munford Village, Ltd. (Munford Village) is a 24-unit family project in Munford, AL. The Munford area has experienced severe economic decline due to loss of industry and job prospects. This has resulted in an outflow of prospective tenants from the area. Consequently, the property has struggled with occupancy and has been unable to maintain projected rent levels. Occupancy averaged 86.57% for the year 2004, resulting in a loss of $15,194, and a Debt Coverage Service Ratio of 0.3. A newly hired manager has aggressively marketed the property in 2005; as a result, occupancy for the first quarter of 2005 averaged 90.28%, climbing to 96% in the second quarter. Through 2004, the property fell short of the projected rents by approximately $35,000 annually. The increase in occupancy has increased income for the property, however rent levels remain lower than projected. At current rent levels, the partnership will be unable to break even. Management is attempting to reduce expenses, but would need to achieve highe r rents to improve the economic outlook for the property. The Operating General Partner has an operating deficit guarantee for Munford Village, Ltd., that is unlimited in time and amount. The property's compliance period ends in 2009.
Principal Accounting Policies and Estimates
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires the Partnership to make certain estimates and assumptions. A summary of significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to the financial statements. The following section is a summary of certain aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of Partnership's financial condition and results of operations. The Partnership believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the financial statements.
The Partnership is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which is primarily investments in limited partnerships. The Partnership accounts for its investment in limited partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Partnership does not control the operations of the Operating Limited Partnership.
If the book value of the Partnership's investment in an Operating Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, which generally consists of the remaining future Low-Income Housing Credits allocable to the Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership, the Partnership reduces its investment in any such Operating Limited Partnership and includes such reduction in equity in loss of investment of limited partnerships.
Exceptions to Certifications
The March 31, 2005 Balance Sheet of Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P. is presented as unaudited in the Form 10-Q as the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm could not be filed within the prescribed time period because the issuer was not able to obtain audit opinions which refer to the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) of property partnerships, in which the issuer holds noncontrolling limited partner interests.
Historically, the audits, and the reports thereon, of the local operating partnerships (typically owned 99% by the registrant) were performed in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS).
On May 11, 2005 draft guidance was issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board which was confirmed on June 24, 2005 by the AICPA Center for Public Company Audit Firms, that clearly establishes the requirement for the audit reports of the operating partnerships of a Public Fund to refer to the auditing standards of the PCAOB.
The audits of the operating partnerships were performed primarily during the months of January and February and refer to Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. We have all appropriate originally signed opinions from the operating partnerships, however, they do not refer to the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has performed an audit of the registrant for the period ending March 31, 2005, but could not issue an opinion in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Therefore, we are filing our 10-Q with March 31, 2005 balance sheets as "UNAUDITED" as it is without an audit opinion.
