NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BF Garden Tax Credit Fund IV L.P. (formerly known as Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund IV L.P.) (the "Fund") was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as of October 5, 1993, for the purpose of acquiring, holding, and disposing of limited partnership interests in operating partnerships which will acquire, develop, rehabilitate, operate and own newly constructed, existing or rehabilitated low-income apartment complexes ("Operating Partnerships"). Effective as of December 15, 2020, Corporate Investment Holdings, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation owned by BF Garden Companion Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership formerly known as Boston Capital Companion Limited Partnership (“Companion”), replaced BCA Associates Limited Partnership as the general partner of the Fund’s general partner, BF Garden Associates IV L.P., a Delaware limited partnership formerly known as Boston Capital Associates IV L.P. Additionally, Companion replaced Capital Investment Holdings IV Limited Partnership as the sole limited partner of the Fund’s general partner. Also effective as of December 15, 2020, BFBC Holdings GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Boston Financial Investment Management, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“BFIM”), replaced Boston Capital Partners II Corporation as the general partner of Companion; and BFIM replaced Boston Capital Companion Holdings Limited Partnership as the sole limited partner of Companion. The assignor limited partner of the Fund continues to be BCTC IV Assignor Corp., a Delaware corporation which is now wholly owned by Companion.
The assignor limited partner was formed for the purpose of serving in that capacity for the Fund and does not engage in any other business. Units of beneficial interest in the limited partnership interest of the assignor limited partner have been assigned by the assignor limited partner by means of beneficial assignee certificates ("BACs") to investors and investors are entitled to all the rights and economic benefits of a limited partner of the Fund, including rights to a percentage of the income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and distributions of the Fund.
In accordance with the limited partnership agreement, profits, losses, and cash flow (subject to certain priority allocations and distributions) and tax credits are allocated 99% to the assignees and 1% to the general partner.
Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the fund filed a Form S-11 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective December 16, 1993, which covered the offering (the Public Offering) of the beneficial assignee certificates (BACs) representing assignments of units of the beneficial interest of the limited partnership interest of the assignor limited partner. The fund has registered 101,500,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in one or more series. BACs sold in bulk are offered to investors at a reduced cost per BAC.
