BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included with the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the periods may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the year. The Managing General Partner of the Partnership has elected to report results of the Local Limited Partnerships, in which the Partnership has a limited partnership interest, on a 90 day lag basis because the Local Limited Partnerships report their results on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, the financial information of the Local Limited Partnerships that is included in the accompanying financial statements is as of September 30, 2001 and 2000. 1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships The Partnership uses the equity method to account for its limited partner interests in twenty-six Local Limited Partnerships. Each of these Local Limited Partnerships owns and operates multi-family housing complexes, most of which are government-assisted. Upon dissolution of the Local Limited Partnerships, proceeds will be distributed according to each respective partnership agreement. The following is a summary of investments in Local Limited Partnerships at December 31, 2001: Capital contributions and advances paid to Local Limited Partnerships and purchase price paid to withdrawing partners of Local Limited Partnerships $ 55,637,228 Cumulative equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships (excluding cumulative unrecognized losses of $4,939,572) (38,643,615) Cumulative cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships (2,307,785) ------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships before adjustment 14,685,828 Excess of investment cost over the underlying net assets acquired: Acquisition fees and expenses 1,006,357 Accumulated amortization of acquisition fees and expenses (267,310) ------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships prior to reserve for valuation 15,424,875 Reserve for valuation of investments in Local Limited Partnerships (829,727) ------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships $ 14,595,148 ============= The Partnership has provided a reserve for valuation for its investments in Local Limited Partnerships because there is evidence of non-temporary declines in the recoverable amounts of the investments. The Partnership's share of the net losses of the Local Limited Partnerships for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 is $2,366,040. For the nine months ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership has not recognized $957,038 of equity in losses relating to several Local Limited Partnerships where cumulative equity in losses and cumulative distributions from Local Limited Partnerships exceeded its total investments in these Local Limited Partnerships. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain matters discussed herein constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Partnership intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements and is including this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Although the Partnership believes the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Partnership can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained. Actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, general economic and real estate conditions and interest rates. Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 2001, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $754,303, compared with $573,599 at March 31, 2001. The increase is attributable to proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities and cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships, partially offset by purchases of marketable securities and cash used for operating activities. Approximately $2,239,000 has been designated as Reserves by the Managing General Partner. The Reserves were established to be used for working capital of the Partnership and contingencies related to the ownership of Local Limited Partnership interests. The Managing General Partner believes that the investment income earned on the Reserves, along with cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships, to the extent available, will be sufficient to fund the Partnership's ongoing operations and any contingencies that may arise. Reserves may be used to fund Partnership operating deficits, if the Managing General Partner deems funding appropriate. In the event a Local Limited Partnership encounters operating difficulties requiring additional funds, the Partnership might deem it in its best interests to provide such funds, voluntarily, in order to protect its investment. To date, the Partnership has advanced approximately $328,000 to Local Limited Partnerships to fund operating deficits. Since the Partnership invests as a limited partner, the Partnership has no contractual duty to provide additional funds to Local Limited Partnerships beyond its specified investment. Thus, at December 31, 2001, the Partnership had no contractual or other obligation to any Local Limited Partnership which had not been paid or provided for. Cash Distributions No cash distributions were made during the nine months ended December 31, 2001. Results of Operations Three Month Period The Partnership's results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2001 resulted in a net loss of $630,895, as compared to a net loss of $783,141 for the same period in 2000. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to decreases in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships and general and administrative expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expense is primarily due to increased charges from an affiliate of the General Partner for operational and administrative expenses necessary for the operation of the Partnership which occurred in the three months ended December 31, 2000. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Results of Operations (continued) - -------------------------------- Nine Month Period The Partnership's results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 resulted in a net loss of $1,695,227, as compared to a net loss of $1,679,146 for the same period in 2000. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to a decrease in other revenue, partially offset by a decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships. The decrease in other revenue is due to a refund of legal costs in 2000 related to one Local Limited Partnership and the timing of distributions from Local Limited Partnerships. The decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships is attributable to an increase in unrecognized losses for properties with carrying values of zero. Property Discussions The Partnership's investment portfolio consists of limited partnership interests in 26 Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns and operates a multi-family apartment complex. A majority of the Properties have stabilized operations and operate above break-even. A few Properties generate cash flow deficits that the Local General Partners of those Properties fund through project expenses loans, subordinated loans or operating escrows. However, some Properties have persistent operating difficulties that could either: i) have an adverse impact on the Partnership's liquidity; ii) result in their foreclosure or iii) result in the Managing General Partner deeming it appropriate for the Partnership to dispose of its interest in the Property. Also, the Managing General Partner, in the normal course of the Partnership's business, may desire to dispose of certain Local Limited Partnerships. The following Property discussions focus only on such Properties. Operations at Historic New Center, located in Detroit, Michigan, continue to struggle. The Property suffers from poor location and security issues. Vandalism has caused an increase in maintenance and repair expenses and has negatively affected the Property's occupancy levels and tenant profile. A new site management company began operating the Property on January 1, 2001 but subsequently resigned, as they believed they were not suited to manage the Property. An affiliate of the Local General Partner began managing the Property in May 2001 and has worked to increase curb appeal and implement new marketing programs to increase qualified tenant traffic. The Managing General Partner will continue to closely monitor the site manager's efforts to improve Property operations; however, due to the Property's continuing struggles, the Managing General Partner is concerned about its long-term viability. As previously reported regarding Westgate, located in Bismarck, North Dakota, in order to protect the remaining tax credits generated by the Property, the Managing General Partner consummated the transfer of 50% of the Partnership's capital and profits in the Local Limited Partnership to an affiliate of the Local General Partner in November 1997. The Managing General Partner also had the right to transfer the Partnership's remaining interest to the Local General Partner any time after one year from the initial transfer. However, due to subsequent transfers by the Local General Partner of its interest in the Property, the date when the Managing General Partner had the right to transfer the remaining interest did not occur until September 1, 2001. The Partnership will retain its full share of the Property's tax credits, which expired during 2001, until such time as the remaining interest is put to the new Local General Partner. Further, the new Local General Partner has the right to call the remaining interest after the tax credit period has expired. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Property Discussions (continued) - ------------------------------- Carib Villas II and Carib Villas III, located in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, have been unable to maintain occupancy. The Properties have both family and elderly units, and while the family units have a waiting list, the elderly units have proven difficult to lease. Also, due to the Properties' proximity to the ocean, weather conditions erode their physical condition quickly, and therefore, maintenance issues are a concern. In April 2000, a replacement site management company was brought in to manage the Properties' operations. This replacement site management company recently stated its desire to purchase the General and Limited Partner interests in the Properties. Currently, the Managing General Partner is negotiating a plan that will ultimately transfer the Partnership's interests in the Properties. The plan includes provisions to minimize the risk of recapture. Although Schumaker Place, located in Salisbury, Maryland, continues to maintain high occupancy, the Property operated at a deficit for the reporting period. The deficit was primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes. Under a 1991 agreement with the City of Salisbury, Maryland, the Property was allowed to defer 90% of its annual real estate taxes in 1991, and the amount of the deferral has decreased by 10% each year thereafter. In 2001, the Property was responsible for 100% of the current year taxes, plus 10% of the deferred amount. We will closely monitor the Property's operations. The Partnership has implemented policies and practices for assessing potential impairment of its investments in Local Limited Partnerships. Real estate experts analyze the investments to determine if impairment indicators exist. If so, the carrying value is compared to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If a significant impairment in carrying value exits, a provision to write down the asset to fair value will be recorded in the Partnership's financial statements.
