1. Organization, Purpose and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
American Tax Credit Trust, a Delaware statutory business trust Series I (the "Trust") was formed on February 4, 1993 under Chapter 38 of Title 12 of the Delaware Code. There was no operating activity until admission of the investors (the “Beneficial Owners”) on November 29, 1993. The Trust was formed to invest primarily in leveraged low-income multifamily residential complexes (the "Property" or "Properties") that qualified for the low-income housing tax credit (the "Low-income Housing Tax Credit") in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), through the acquisition of limited partner equity interests (the “Local Partnership Interests”) in partnerships (the "Local Partnership" or "Local Partnerships") that are the owners of the Properties. Such interests were acquired from 1993 to 1995. Richman American Credit Corp. (the "Manager") was formed on April 5, 1993 to act as the Manager of the Trust. | |
On September 13, 1993, the Trust commenced the offering for sale of units of beneficial ownership (the "Units") to Beneficial Owners in one to twenty series ("Series I through Series XX"; each a "Series"). These notes and the accompanying financial statements are presented for Series I only. | |
Basis of Accounting and Fiscal Year | |
The Trust’s records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting for both financial reporting and tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes, the Trust's fiscal year ends March 30 and its quarterly periods end June 29, September 29 and December 30. The Local Partnerships have a calendar year for financial reporting purposes. The Trust and the Local Partnerships each have a calendar year for income tax purposes. | |
Investment in Local Partnerships | |
The Trust accounts for its investment in local partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting, under which the investment is carried at cost and is adjusted for the Trust's share of each Local Partnership's results of operations and by cash distributions received. Equity in loss of each investment in Local Partnership allocated to the Trust is recognized to the extent of the Trust’s investment balance in each Local Partnership. Equity in loss in excess of the Trust’s investment balance in a Local Partnership is allocated to other partners' capital in any such Local Partnership. Previously unrecognized equity in loss of any Local Partnership is recognized in the fiscal year in which equity in income is earned by such Local Partnership or additional investment is made by the Trust. Distributions received subsequent to the elimination of an investment balance for any such investment in a Local Partnership are recorded as other income from local partnerships. | |
The Trust assesses the carrying value of its investment in local partnerships at least annually in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year or whenever there are indications that a permanent impairment may have occurred. If the carrying value of an investment in a Local Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, the Trust reduces its investment in any such Local Partnership (unless the impairment is considered to be temporary) and includes such reduction in equity in income (loss) of investment in local partnerships. Impairment is measured by comparing the investment carrying amount to the estimated residual value of the investment. | |
The Trust does not consolidate the accounts and activities of the Local Partnerships, which are considered Variable Interest Entities as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810; Subtopic 10, because the Trust is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Trust's balance in investment in local partnerships represents the maximum exposure to loss in connection with such investments. The Trust's exposure to loss on the Local Partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying Properties as well as the financial strength of the general partners of the Local Partnerships (the “Local General Partners”). In addition, the Local Partnerships’ partnership agreements grant the Local General Partners the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Local Partnerships’ economic success. | |
Advances and additional capital contributions (collectively the “Advances”) that are not required under the terms of the Local Partnerships’ partnership agreements but which are made to the Local Partnerships are recorded as investment in local partnerships. Certain Advances are considered by the Trust to be voluntary loans to the respective Local Partnerships and the Trust may be reimbursed at a future date to the extent such Local Partnerships generate distributable cash flow or receive proceeds from sale or refinancing. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
The Trust considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. | |
Fair Value Measurements | |
ASC Topic 820 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes the following fair value hierarchy: | |
· Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access; | |
· Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and | |
· Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions as there is little, if any, related market activity. | |
For instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement will fall within the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. | |
Investment in Pemberwick Fund | |
The Trust carries its investment in Pemberwick Fund (”Pemberwick”), an investment grade institutional short duration bond fund, at estimated fair value. Realized capital gains (losses) are included in (offset against) interest revenue. Investment in Pemberwick is classified as available-for-sale and unrealized gains (losses) are included as items of comprehensive income (loss) and are reported as a separate component of owners' equity (deficit). | |
Income Taxes | |
The Trust is a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income and deductions are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Trust’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a trust. Accordingly, the Trust is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Trust is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other taxing authorities. Income tax returns filed by the Trust are subject to examination by the IRS for a period of three years. While no Trust income tax returns are currently being examined by the IRS, tax years subsequent to 2009 remain subject to examination. These financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Trust has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure. In accordance with ASC Topic 740; Subtopic 10, the Trust has included in Note 7 disclosures related to differences in the financial and tax bases of accounting. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |

On September 13, 1993, the Trust commenced the offering of Units through Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and PaineWebber Incorporated (the “Selling Agents”). On November 29, 1993, January 28, 1994 and May 25, 1994, under the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Trust of the Trust (the "Trust Agreement"), the Manager admitted Beneficial Owners to the Trust in three closings. At these closings, subscriptions for a total of 18,654 Units representing $18,654,000 in Beneficial Owners’ capital contributions were accepted. In connection with the offering of Units, the Trust incurred organization and offering costs of $2,330,819, of which $75,000 was capitalized as organization costs and $2,255,819 was charged to the Beneficial Owners' equity as syndication costs. The Manager contributed $100 to the Trust. | |
Net loss is allocated 99% to the Beneficial Owners and 1% to the Manager in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The Trust paid nonresident state withholding taxes of $36,141 on behalf of certain of the Beneficial Owners in April 2014 in connection with gains recognized by certain Local Partnerships for the year ended December 31, 2013. |

4. Investment in Pemberwick Fund | |
The Trust carries its investment in Pemberwick, an investment grade institutional short duration bond fund, at estimated fair value. Pemberwick was organized in February 2010 as a non-diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that seeks maximum current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. In selecting a portfolio of securities for Pemberwick, the investment advisor of Pemberwick (the “Advisor”) will select investments so that Pemberwick’s assets will be rated “A-” or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) such as Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and/or by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (“S&P”) (or if commercial paper rated in the highest category) or, if a rating is not available, deemed to be of comparable quality by the Advisor, or securities issued by banking institutions operating in the United States and having assets in excess of $200 billion. Approximately 90% or more of Pemberwick’s assets will either be invested in securities rated AA or better (if commercial paper rated in the highest category) by a NRSRO or in securities of banking institutions operating in the United States and having assets in excess of $200 billion. | |
The weighted average duration of Pemberwick’s assets is approximately 1.92 years as of March 30, 2014. Redemptions from Pemberwick are immediately liquid and unrestricted. Pemberwick’s net asset value (“NAV”) is $10.07 and $10.12 per share as of March 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Trust’s investment in Pemberwick as of March 30, 2014 and 2013 is $654,505 and $819,873, respectively. An unrealized gain of $4,524 as of March 30, 2014 is reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheet as of March 30, 2014. The Trust has earned $46,396 of interest revenue from its investment in Pemberwick as of March 30, 2014. The fair value of the Trust’s investment in Pemberwick is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy of the guidance on Fair Value Measurements (see Note 1). Pemberwick’s NAV was $10.09 as of May 31, 2014. | |
The Advisor is an affiliate of the Manager. For its services, the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Pemberwick. The Advisor may, in its discretion, voluntarily waive its fees or reimburse certain Pemberwick expenses; however, the Advisor is not required to do so. The Advisor has waived 70% of its fee earned since Pemberwick’s inception and earned $1,086 and $1,219 in connection with the Trust’s investment in Pemberwick for the years ended March 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, enough to cover its direct costs. The Advisor’s asset management affiliate, Richman Asset Management, Inc. (“RAM”) has agreed to reduce its management fees (see Note 6) payable by the Trust to the extent any fee of the Advisor payable by Pemberwick would be duplicative of any profit that RAM would receive from the Trust. | |

The Trust initially acquired a Local Partnership Interest in ten Local Partnerships. As of March 30, 2014, the Trust owns a 99% Local Partnership Interest in the following six Local Partnerships: | |||||
1. | ACP Housing Associates, L.P.; | ||||
2. | Creative Choice Homes VII, Ltd.; | ||||
3. | Ledge/McLaren Limited Partnership; | ||||
4. | SB-92 Limited Partnership; | ||||
5. | St. John Housing Associates, L.P. (“St. John Housing”); and | ||||
6. | Vision Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership. | ||||
In connection with the initial purchase of ten Local Partnership Interests, under the terms of the partnership agreement of each Local Partnership, as of March 30, 2014 the Trust is committed to make capital contributions in the aggregate of $14,837,956, which includes Advances to certain Local Partnerships (see discussion below), and all of which has been paid. | |||||
The remaining Properties are principally comprised of subsidized and leveraged low-income multifamily residential complexes located throughout the United States. The required holding period of each Property, in order to avoid Low-income Housing Tax Credit recapture, is fifteen years from the year in which the Low-income Housing Tax Credits commence on the last building of the Property (the “Compliance Period”). The Compliance Periods of all the Local Partnerships expired in a prior year. The rents of the Properties, certain of which receive project based rental subsidy payments pursuant to subsidy agreements, are subject to specific laws, regulations and agreements with federal and state agencies. The subsidies expire at various times. The Trust cannot predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget negotiations, the outcome of which could result in a reduction in funds available for the various federal and state administered housing programs. Such changes could adversely affect the future net operating income and debt structure of the Local Partnerships receiving such subsidies. As of December 31, 2013, the Local Partnerships have outstanding mortgage loans payable totaling approximately $14,361,000 and accrued interest payable on such loans totaling approximately $2,355,000, which are secured by security interests and liens common to mortgage loans on the Local Partnerships' real property and other assets. | |||||

The estimated fair value of Pemberwick is based on current market quotes received from active markets. Pemberwick’s NAV is calculated and published daily (see Note 4). | |||||
Investment in local partnerships | |||||
The Trust assesses the carrying value of its investment in local partnerships at least annually in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year or whenever there are indications that a permanent impairment may have occurred (see Note 1). These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, occupancy rates, projected operating results, availability of financing, exit plan, extended use provisions of the Properties under the terms of the applicable financing agreements, comparable sales and other factors deemed necessary by the Trust. Significant increases in capitalization rates and comparable sales in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement while significant increases in revenue growth rates in isolation would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement. Significant decreases in capitalization rates and comparable sales in isolation would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement while significant decreases in revenue growth rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. The fair value of investment in local partnerships was determined using Level 3 inputs as of March 30, 2014 and 2013 and is presented here for disclosure purposes only. |

Fair Value Measurements | |
ASC Topic 820 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes the following fair value hierarchy: | |
· Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access; | |
· Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and | |
· Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions as there is little, if any, related market activity. | |
For instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement will fall within the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |

The Trust is a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income and deductions are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Trust’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a trust. Accordingly, the Trust is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Trust is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other taxing authorities. Income tax returns filed by the Trust are subject to examination by the IRS for a period of three years. While no Trust income tax returns are currently being examined by the IRS, tax years subsequent to 2009 remain subject to examination. These financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Trust has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure. In accordance with ASC Topic 740; Subtopic 10, the Trust has included in Note 7 disclosures related to differences in the financial and tax bases of accounting. |

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