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-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2004. In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, 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 Partnerships has elected to report results of the Local Limited Partnerships 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, 2004 and 2003. 1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships The Partnership has limited partnership interests in twenty-six Local Limited Partnerships which were organized for the purpose of owning and operating multi-family housing complexes, most of which are government-assisted. The Partnership's ownership interest in each Local Limited Partnership is generally 99%, except for Strathern Park/Lorne Park, Huguenot Park and Westgate, where the Partnership's ownership interests are 95%, 88.55% and 49.5%, respectively. The Partnership may have negotiated or may negotiate options with the Local General Partners to purchase or sell the Partnership's interests in the Properties at the end of the Compliance Period at nominal prices. In the event that Properties are sold to third parties, proceeds will be distributed according to the terms of each Local Limited Partnership agreement. The following is a summary of investments in Local Limited Partnerships at December 31, 2004: Capital contributions and advances paid to Local Limited Partnerships and purchase price paid to withdrawing partners of Local Limited Partnerships $ 55,896,251 Cumulative equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships (excluding cumulative unrecognized losses of $10,645,473) (42,518,845) Cumulative cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships (4,006,938) ---------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships before adjustments 9,370,468 Excess of investment cost over the underlying assets acquired: Acquisition fees and expenses 1,006,357 Cumulative amortization of acquisition fees and expenses (326,028) ---------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships before impairment allowance 10,050,797 Impairment allowance on investments in Local Limited Partnerships (1,245,306) ---------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships $ 8,805,491 ================ For the nine months ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership advanced $182,711 to one of the Local Limited Partnerships, all of which was impaired. The Partnership has recorded an impairment allowance for its investments in certain Local Limited Partnerships in order to appropriately reflect the estimated net realizable value of these investments. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited) 1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships (continued) The Partnership's share of the net losses of the Local Limited Partnerships for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 is $1,835,106. For the nine months ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership has not recognized $1,006,265 of equity in losses relating to Local Limited Partnerships where cumulative equity in losses and distributions exceeded its total investment in these Local Limited Partnerships. The Partnership recognized $316 of previously unrecognized losses in the nine months ended December 31, 2004. 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. Accounting Policies The Partnership's accounting policies include those that relate to its recognition of investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting. The Partnership's policy is as follows: The Partnership accounts for its investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting because the Partnership does not have control over the major operating and financial policies of the Local Limited Partnerships in which it invests. Under the equity method, the investment is carried at cost, adjusted for the Partnership's share of net income or loss and for cash distributions from the Local Limited Partnerships; equity in income or loss of the Local Limited Partnerships is included currently in the Partnership's operations. Under the equity method, a Local Limited Partnership investment will not be carried below zero. To the extent that equity in losses are incurred when the Partnership's carrying value of the respective Local Limited Partnership has been reduced to a zero balance, the losses will be suspended and offset against future income. Income from Local Limited Partnerships, where cumulative equity in losses plus cumulative distributions have exceeded the total investment in Local Limited Partnerships, will not be recorded until all of the related unrecorded losses have been offset. To the extent that a Local Limited Partnership with a carrying value of zero distributes cash to the Partnership, that distribution is recorded as income on the books of the Partnership and is included in "Other Revenue" in the accompanying financial statements. 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 investment is analyzed to consider the Partnership's ability to recover its carrying value. If an other than temporary impairment in carrying value exists, a provision to write down the asset to fair value will be recorded in the Partnership's financial statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 2004, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $2,662,140, compared with $3,037,678 at March 31, 2004. The decrease is primarily attributable to net cash used for operations and advances to one Local Limited Partnership, partially offset by cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships. The Managing General Partner initially designated 4% of the Gross Proceeds as Reserves as defined in the Partnership Agreement. 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 may increase or decrease such Reserves from time to time, as it deems appropriate. At December 31, 2004, approximately $1,947,000 of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities has been designated as Reserves. To date, professional fees relating to various Property issues totaling approximately $223,000 have been paid from Reserves. To date, Reserve funds in the amount of approximately $128,000 have also been used to make additional capital contributions to one Local Limited Partnership. In the event a Local Limited Partnership encounters 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) Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) operating difficulties requiring additional funds, the Partnership's management might deem it in its best interest to voluntarily provide such funds in order to protect its investment. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership has advanced approximately $459,000 to Local Limited Partnerships to fund operating deficits. 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. Reserves may be used to fund Partnership operating deficits, if the Managing General Partner deems funding appropriate. If Reserves are not adequate to cover the Partnership's operations, the Partnership will seek other financing sources including, but not limited to, the deferral of Asset Management Fees paid to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner or working with Local Limited Partnerships to increase cash distributions. 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, 2004, 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, 2004. Results of Operations Three Month Period The Partnership's results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2004 resulted in a net loss of $368,953 as compared to a net loss of $340,604 for the same period in 2003. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to an increase in provision for valuation of advances to Local Limited Partnerships and an increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in other revenue and a decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships. The increase in provision for valuation of advances to Local Limited Partnerships is the result of an increase in advances made to Local Limited Partnerships in 2004, as compared to the same three-month period of 2003. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to increased charges from an affiliate of a General Partner for operational and administrative expenses necessary for the operation of the Partnership. The increase in other revenue is due to the timing of asset management fees received from Local Limited Partnerships. Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships decreased due to an increase in unrecognized losses by the Partnership of Local Limited Partnerships with the carrying values of zero. Nine Month Period The Partnership's results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 resulted in a net loss of $1,435,275 as compared to a net loss of $1,154,512 for the same period in 2003. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to an increase in provision for valuation of advances to Local Limited Partnerships, an increase in general and administrative expenses and an increase in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships. The increase in provision for valuation of advances to Local Limited Partnerships is the result of an increase in advances made to Local Limited Partnerships in 2004, as compared to the same nine-month period of 2003. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to increased charges from an affiliate of a General Partner for operational and administrative expenses necessary for the operation of the Partnership. Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships increased between years due to an increase in losses of Local Limited Partnerships actually recognized by the Partnership. 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) Portfolio Update The Partnership's investment portfolio consists of limited partnership interests in twenty-six Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns and operates a multi-family apartment complex and each of which has generated Tax Credits. Since inception, the Partnership has generated Tax Credits, net of recapture, of approximately $1,512 per Limited Partner Unit, with an immaterial amount of Tax Credits expected to be generated from 2004 through 2008. The aggregate amount of Tax Credits generated by the Partnership is consistent with the objective specified in the Partnership's prospectus. Properties that receive low income housing Tax Credits must remain in compliance with rent restriction and set-aside requirements for at least 15 years from the date the Property is completed (the "Compliance Period"). Failure to do so would result in the recapture of a portion of the Property's Tax Credits. Between 2005 and continuing through 2008, the Compliance Period of the twenty-six Properties in which the Partnership has an interest will expire. The Managing General Partner has negotiated agreements that will ultimately allow the Partnership to dispose of its interest in eight Local Limited Partnerships. It is unlikely that the disposition of any of these Local Limited Partnership interests will generate any material cash distributions to the Partnership. The Managing General Partner will continue to closely monitor the operations of the Properties during the Compliance Period and will formulate disposition strategies with respect to the Partnership's remaining Local Limited Partnership interests. It is unlikely that the Managing General Partner's efforts will result in the Partnership disposing of all of its remaining Local Limited Partnership interests concurrently with the expiration of each Property's Compliance Period. The Partnership shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up upon the disposition of the final Local Limited Partnership interest and other assets of the Partnership. Investors will continue to be Limited Partners, receiving K-1s and quarterly and annual reports, until the Partnership is dissolved. On August 24, 2004, the Partnership and seven affiliates of the General Partners (collectively, the "Partnerships"), and their general partners commenced litigation against Everest Housing Investors 2, LLC and three other Everest-related entities (collectively, the "Everest entries") in Massachusetts state court, seeking a declaratory judgment that certain materials the Everest entities sought to inspect are not "books and records" of the Partnerships and that the Everest entities are in any case not entitled to inspect said information under applicable partnership agreements, partnership law or otherwise. On October 7, 2004, the Everest entities filed an answer and counterclaimed against the Partnerships and their general partners, claiming that they breached applicable partnership agreements, partnership law and their fiduciary duties to the Everest entities by failing to make the purported "books and records" available. The Partnerships maintain that the Everest entities is not entitled to review the materials requested and/or use the materials in secondary market transactions because, among other things, (i) the materials requested are not "books and records" of the Partnerships, as that term is defined in the relevant partnership agreements, (ii) the Everest entities does not seek to review them for a proper purpose, and (iii) that selective disclosure of the information to the Everest entries would give it an unfair informational advantage in secondary market transactions and could potentially violate federal and/or state securities laws. Because of the preliminary nature of the Massachusetts litigation, including but not limited to the fact that no discovery has taken place, no estimate of a potential outcome can be made at this time. On July 13, 2004, Park G.P., Inc. ("Park") commenced litigation against an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and its purported general partners (collectively, "Defendants") in Clay County, Missouri, claiming that Defendants breached the relevant partnership agreement and their fiduciary duties owed to Park by, among other things, failing to permit inspection of certain alleged "books and records" of the affiliate of the Partnership. On or about October 7, 2004, Park sought leave of the court to amend its petition to include claims for inspection of the alleged "books and records" against the Partnership, five more affiliates of the Managing General Partner and their purported general partners (collectively, the "New Defendants"). The Court granted the amendment on November 15, 2004, and all defendants subsequently moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint in its entirety. That motion is currently pending. 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) Portfolio Update (continued) On or about October 8, 2004, Park moved the court for entry of a temporary restraining order compelling the Defendants and the New Defendants to turn over the alleged "books and records" in conjunction with a transaction Park was proposing entering into. On October 12, 2004, the court denied Park's request. Defendants maintain that Park is not entitled to review the materials requested and/or use the materials in secondary market transactions because, among other things, (i) they are not "books and records" of the partnerships, (ii) Park does not seek to review them for a proper purpose, and (iii) that selective disclosure of the information to Park would give it an unfair informational advantage in secondary market transactions, and may violate federal and/or state securities laws. Defendants accordingly intend on defending against the claims vigorously. The Managing General Partner has not formed an opinion that an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote. Therefore, the Managing General Partner refrains from expressing an opinion as to the likely outcome of the case, or the range of any loss. Property Discussions A majority of the Properties in which the Partnership has an interest 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 expense loans, subordinated loans or operating escrows. However, some Properties have had 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 Local Limited Partnership prior to the expiration of the Compliance Period. Also, the Managing General Partner, in the normal course of the Partnership's business, may arrange for the future disposition of its interest in certain Local Limited Partnerships. The following Property discussions focus only on such Properties. As previously reported, the Local General Partner of Westover Station, located in Newport News, Virginia, reached an agreement with the Property's lender to refinance the debt on the Property. As part of the refinancing, which closed on February 1, 2002, the Partnership received Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, as defined in the Local Limited Partnership Agreement, of approximately $668,000. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net proceeds in Reserves. The Managing General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, also negotiated an agreement with the Local General Partner that will allow the Partnership to dispose of its interest in the Property after the end of its Compliance Period, which is December 31, 2006. As previously reported, New Center, located in Detroit, Michigan, has experienced operating difficulties for several years. 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. Efforts to increase curb appeal and increase qualified tenant traffic have not materially improved occupancy. Advances from the Local General Partner and the Partnership have enabled the Property to remain current on its mortgage obligations. 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. Due to these concerns, the Managing General Partner believes it is in the best interest of the Property to replace the Local General Partner. Accordingly, the Managing General Partner has been working with the Local General Partner to identify an acceptable replacement. A replacement was identified and the necessary documents to become the replacement Local General Partner are in the process of being executed. The replacement of the Local General Partner is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2005. The replacement Local General Partner will provide to the Partnership a Put Option Agreement that allows for the transfer of the Partnership's interest to the replacement Local General Partner for a nominal amount any time after the Property's Compliance Period ends on December 31, 2006. Partnership Reserves have been utilized to fund the Property's debt service obligations. 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) As previously reported regarding Park Century (a/k/a Westgate), located in Bismark, 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 on which the Managing General Partner had the right to transfer the remaining interest did not occur until December 1, 2001. The agreement allowed the Partnership to retain its full share of the Property's Tax Credits until such time as the remaining interest is put to the new Local General Partner. The Property generated its last Tax Credits during 2001. The new Local General Partner also has the right to call the remaining interest after the Property's Compliance Period expires on December 31, 2006. As previously reported, in April 2000, due to poor operations, the site management company for Carib II and Carib III, located in St. Croix, Virgin Islands was replaced. However, operations continue to suffer. Despite high occupancy, the Properties are experiencing operating deficits that are funded from working capital or replacement reserves. In addition, despite several recent capital improvements, the Properties are in need of additional capital expenditures. In 2000, the replacement site management company stated its desire to purchase the Local General Partner and Partnership interests in the Properties and, effective January 1, 2001, assumed the Local General Partner interest in the Properties. As part of this transaction, the Managing General Partner negotiated a put agreement that ultimately transfers the Partnership's interest in the Properties to the new Local General Partner. The plan includes provisions to minimize the risk of recapture. As previously reported, a Property adjacent to Whispering Trace, located in Woodstock, Georgia, began operations during 2001. Although the Property had difficulties in completing initial lease-up due to a lack of qualified tenants, its superior amenities and curb appeal provide a competitive advantage. Other Tax Credit Properties as well as entry-level homes in the area have further increased competition for tenants. In addition, local employers have had layoffs, forcing some tenants to leave the area in search of employment. As a result, occupancy at Whispering Trace has declined. The Property has incurred significant capital expenditures in order to remain competitive in the marketplace. As a result, debt service coverage is below appropriate levels. Advances from the Local General Partner and Partnership Reserves have allowed the Property to remain current on its debt obligations. As previously reported, the Managing General Partner negotiated an agreement with an unaffiliated entity to have the ability to transfer the Partnership's interest to the unaffiliated entity or its designee with respect to Cedar Lane I, located in London, Kentucky, and Silver Creek II, located in Berea, Kentucky. These Properties share a common Local General Partner. The Managing General Partner has the right to put its interest in either of the Properties at any time in exchange for a Contingent Note that grants the Partnership 50% of all future net cash receipts from such Local Limited Partnership interest. Schumaker Place Apartments, located in Salisbury, Maryland, has experienced operating difficulties in recent quarters. Despite strong occupancy levels, increased maintenance, insurance and real estate tax expenses have resulted in deficits that have been funded from working capital. The Local General Partner refinanced the Property in the second quarter of 2004, reducing the interest rate and debt service payments on the Property's first mortgage. The reduced debt service is expected to result in the achievement of operating surpluses by the end of 2004. In connection with the Partnership's approval of this refinancing, the Partnership and the Local General Partner entered into a put agreement whereby the Partnership can transfer its interest in the Local Partnership to the Local General Partner for a nominal amount any time after the Property's Compliance Period ends on December 31, 2007. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (A Limited Partnership) CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Controls and Procedures Based on the Partnership's evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership's executive vice president has concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Partnership files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
