ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Description of Business
The SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized in 1986 and had two public offerings of Beneficial Assignee Certificates ("BACs") representing the assignment of limited partnership interests. The Partnership was organized for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by various state or local governments or their agencies or authorities. The portfolio is made up of two distinct pools of investments ("Series I and Series II"). The Partnership separately reports the operating activity of each series by preparing separate financial statements. SCA Realty I, Inc. is the .1% Managing General Partner and SCA Associates 86 Limited Partnership is the .99% Associate General Partner (collectively, the "General Partners").
The only business of the Partnership is investing in mortgage revenue bonds. As discussed more fully herein, the Partnership has acquired 23 mortgage revenue bonds utilizing the proceeds of its public offering. The Partnership continues to adhere to its investment objectives and policies as described at pages 25-30 of the Prospectus under the caption "Business Objectives and Investment Policies," which is incorporated herein by reference. A general description of the mortgage revenue bonds, a summary of the mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership, and more complete descriptions of the specific mortgage revenue bonds together with the underlying mortgaged properties are set forth within the following documents which descriptions are incorporated by reference herein:

In addition, certain information with respect to the mortgage revenue bonds, and the properties securing the mortgage revenue bonds, is set forth herein.
In order to provide loan funds for transaction costs which could not be covered within the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds due to changes contained in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Partnership has used a small portion of BAC proceeds, approximately 1% in Series I and 3% in Series II, to provide taxable working capital loans to the developers of mortgaged properties. Each of the original working capital loans is payable on the same terms and conditions as the corresponding mortgage revenue bonds, but interest on the working capital loans is taxable and results in a portion of the income to be realized by the BAC Holders being included in their gross income for federal income tax purposes.
During 1988, as a result of workout negotiations initiated by the borrowing entity, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner received the deed to the Barkley Place property in lieu of the Partnership pursuing foreclosure actions against the borrower. A discussion of this transaction is described at page A-18 of the 1988 Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 31, 1989, and is included herein by reference.
During 1989, the borrowing entities for both the Montclair and the Newport Village properties initiated workout negotiations with the Partnership due to various circumstances. These negotiations resulted in the transfer of the properties' deeds to affiliates of the Managing General Partner in lieu of foreclosure by the Partnership. A discussion of these transactions is included on pages A-25 and A-26 of 1989 Form 10-K filed with the Commission on April 2, 1990 and is included herein by reference.
In September 1989, just prior to the occurrence of a monetary default, the borrower for the Steeplechase Falls project declared bankruptcy. The Managing General Partner took appropriate steps to protect the Partnership's interest in this property, and on March 18, 1993 negotiated terms of a transfer of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. A discussion of this transaction is included on page A-36 of 1992 Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 30, 1993 and is included herein by reference.
In May 1990, the Managing General Partner and the original borrowers of Gilman Meadows, Mallard Cove I and Mallard Cove II entered into an agreement that provided for an affiliate of the Managing General Partner to assume management of the properties and for the borrowers to grant deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure to affiliates of the Managing General Partner. A discussion of these transactions is included on page A-37 of the 1992 Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 30, 1993 and is included herein by reference.
During 1990 the Managing General Partner entered into negotiations with St. Louis Park Housing Partners, the borrowing partnership for Newport on Seven, a Series I property. These negotiations were concluded in 1991 and are discussed on page A-28 of 1991 Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 30, 1992 which is included herein by reference.
In December 1990, the Managing General Partner had an affiliate accept the deed to the Nicollet Ridge property in lieu of the Partnership pursuing foreclosure actions against the borrower. This action resulted after a series of actions taken against the borrower when the property came into monetary default. A discussion of these transactions is included on pages A-24 and A-25 of 1990 Form 10-K filed with the Commission on April 1, 1991 and is included herein by reference.
In March 1991, at the request of the Managing General Partner, a receiver was appointed by the court to take control of the Creekside property from the original borrower. On February 9, 1994, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner received the deed to the Creekside property in lieu of the Partnership pursuing foreclosure actions against the borrower. A more complete discussion of this transaction is set forth in Note 4 to the financial statements included herein.
In August 1991, the borrowing partnership for The Meadows was declared in default for failure to pay its full base interest. After subsequent workout discussions, the borrower transferred the deed to the property to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner on March 2, 1992. A more complete discussion of this property is included on page A-28 of the 1991 Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 30, 1992 and is included herein by reference.
In September 1991, the borrowing partnerships for North Pointe (formerly Shandin Hills) and Whispering Lake were declared in default for failure to pay their full base interest. After the guarantor for each property indicated its inability to fully fund on a current basis the operating deficits for either property, the Managing General Partner entered into workout discussions with the guarantor and respective borrowers. As a result of these negotiations, settlement agreements were executed with the guarantor and respective borrowers for each property. A more complete discussion of these transactions are included as set forth on pages A-36 and A-37 of the 1992 Form 10-K filed with the commission on March 30, 1993 and is included herein by reference.
During 1993, the borrowing partnerships for Willowgreen and Hamilton Chase were declared in default for failure to pay the full base interest, and the guarantors were unable to fully fund the deficit. Therefore, the Managing General Partner entered into workout discussions with the guarantors and respective borrowers. On February 24, 1994, an agreement was reached whereby an affiliate of the Managing General Partner replaced the managing general partner of the original borrowing partnership for the Hamilton Chase property. The amended partnership agreement was executed on June 13, 1994 thus completing the workout negotiations. On November 21, 1994 the deed to Willowgreen was transferred to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner in lieu of foreclosure by the Partnership. A more complete discussion of these properties is set forth in Note 4 to the financial statements included herein.
During 1994, property level reserves on Lakeview Gardens were exhausted and the original borrower refused to fund the operating deficits of the property. The Managing General Partner, in anticipation of the pending default, initiated workout discussions with the original borrower in the fourth quarter of 1994. The transfer of the deed is expected to take place in April 1995.
The Managing General Partner has the authority to extend additional working capital loans to borrowers out of undistributed income and, where available, Partnership reserves. The interest paid on all such working capital loans is fully taxable. The Managing General Partner evaluates requests for working capital loans on a case-by-case basis, considering economic necessity in covering project operating expenses (excluding debt service) or capital improvements. Interest on additional working capital loans is payable at a maximum rate of 8% per annum.
Prior to 1992, the Managing General Partner extended additional working capital loans totalling $1,254,592 to the Montclair and Barkley Place for the purpose of covering the operating deficits before debt service of each project. No additional working capital loans to cover operating deficits before debt service were made to any property since 1991.
Currently, the Managing General Partner anticipates making no additional working capital loans to any properties since all properties are now able to fully pay their operating expenses out of operational cash flow. The Managing General Partner has the ability to make loans to cover deficits from debt service but, to date, has not found it in the Partnership's best interest to do so.
The Managing General Partner is responsible for a full range of loan servicing and asset management functions for each property whose mortgage revenue bonds are held by the Partnership. A monthly debt service collections system provides the Managing General Partner with the ability to monitor the timely receipt of all debt service payments and to promptly notify a Borrower of any delinquency, deficiency or default. An extensive reporting system allows the Managing General Partner to review and analyze the revenue, expenses and leasing activity of each property on a monthly basis. In addition, the Managing General Partner inspects each property and market area at least once a year.
The loan servicing and asset management oversight is designed to allow the Managing General Partner the ability to track the performance of each property and to alert the Managing General Partner of potential problems. While actions will vary depending upon the nature of an individual problem, the Managing General Partner generally notifies the Borrower of any problems or concerns and recommends corrective action.
The Partnership responds to defaults on mortgage revenue bonds on a case-by-case basis, attempting, in all instances, to structure a resolution that is in the best interests of the Partnership. After sending requisite default notices, discussions with the developer are typically commenced. In the event that the Managing General Partner determines that the developer remains committed to the project and capable of successful operations, a workout or other forbearance arrangement may be negotiated. Where the Managing General Partner determines successful operations with the current developer are not feasible, foreclosure proceedings, or negotiation of the transfer of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure may be undertaken. To facilitate rapid transfer of a problem property and to preserve the tax-exempt status of the bonds, a limited partnership with SCA Successor, Inc. ("New Borrowers"), an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, as general partner is typically designated to accept the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. New Borrowers accept the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure subject to all of the terms of the original loan transaction as set forth in the loan agreement and bond indenture except for the obligations under the limited operating deficit guarantees. In the absence of operating deficit guarantees, the Partnership may face additional risk from operations with respect to properties for which the New Borrowers have accepted a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. This may require subsidies from Partnership reserves to cover potential operating deficits before debt service. The Partnership does not currently anticipate that any such operating deficits before debt service will occur.
Employees
The Partnership does not have any employees. Services are performed for the Partnership by the Managing General Partner and agents retained by it.
Property Performance
The portfolio of 23 bonds held by the Partnership is structured to pay distributions from base and contingent interest payments made by the borrowers. At the end of 1994, aggregate occupancy in Series I properties was 92.1%, down from 93.8% a year ago. At the end of 1994, aggregate occupancy in all Series II properties was 95.5%, having increased from 93.4% in 1993. At the end of 1994 aggregate occupancy in retirement and elderly properties was 95.6%, having decreased from 98.2% in 1993. Aggregate Series I and II occupancy at the end of 1994 was 93.3% having decreased from 93.7% in 1993.
Due to a variety of factors including the favorable investment climate for rental real estate in the early 1980s, the ready availability of financing from thrifts and institutional lenders, and the decision of many developers to take advantage of favorable tax treatment for rental properties, unanticipated over building of apartments occurred during the late 1980's in many localities throughout the country. This oversupply affected a number of the markets in which the Partnership's investments are located. Where this condition existed, there was, until recently, an inability to raise rents as originally anticipated because of the considerable competition. In addition, the general economic recession that occurred in 1990 and continued into 1992 compounded the problems created by an oversupply of apartment units in some markets. Consequently, the net cash flow from most of the properties has been insufficient to pay the base interest due causing the Managing General Partner to draw funds from project level sources such as reserves and guarantees or to declare a monetary default and initiate loan workout discussions in instances where no project level sources existed.
The large capital base of the Partnership has permitted potential risk to be spread over a relatively large number of acquisitions to provide some protection against unanticipated problems with a few properties. The diversity in the geographic locations of the Partnership's properties also provides some protection against regional economic difficulties which may impact a single property's performance. Construction starts for new apartment units have declined significantly throughout the United States since the mid 1980's and fell to a record low in 1993. This decline in new construction and the economic recovery are bringing about tightening markets, stabilized and higher occupancies and an ability to realize greater rent increases.

ALBAN PLACE - Frederick, Maryland Borrower: Alban Place Limited Partnership General Partner: Arthur S. Lazerow
Alban Place is located on a 19-acre site in the city of Frederick, Maryland. The property consists of 22 buildings with a total of 194 units. This family-oriented townhouse community is conveniently located near shopping and business areas. Schools and day care centers are within walking distance of the property.
Alban Place continues to be owned by the original borrowing partnership.
1994 1993 1992 1991 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,547,000 1,513,000 1,486,000 1,561,000 % Change from prior year +2.2 +1.8 -4.8 +5.0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 779,000 709,000 698,000 778,000 % Change from prior year +9.9 +1.6 -10.3 +15.6 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 827,000 827,000 827,000 827,000 % Change from prior year 0.0 0.0 0.0 -2.2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 95.4 84.5 92.8 81.0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 96.9 95.1 93.3 93.2
Rental Housing Market - The Frederick rental housing market has remained stable with slight increases in rents and decreased use of rental concessions. Occupancy has also remained stable and, because mortgage interest rates rose during the latter half of 1994, the seasonal increase in vacancy attributable to home buying did not materialize. New construction in the Frederick market continues to consist of single-family detached, townhouse and condominium units. To the best of the Managing General Partner's knowledge, no new rental communities were built in Frederick in 1994 and no apartment construction is anticipated in 1995.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues increased due to an increase in average occupancy, small increases in market rents and fewer rental concessions. Total expenses in 1994 reflect higher utility costs and capital expenses. Absent these expenses, total expenses increased by only 4%. Operating cash flow continues to support 100% of the debt service obligation.
BARKLEY PLACE - Fort Myers, Florida New Borrower: Barkley Place Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
Barkley Place is a 156 unit rental retirement community located off of U.S. Route 42 in the city of Fort Myers. The apartments are in two three- story elevator buildings which are joined by an activities building. The property has a full service dining room, kitchen, activities and exercise rooms, billiard lounge, community room, beauty salon and administrative offices.
Residents receive one to three meals each day (depending upon their chosen meal plan), all utilities, weekly maid and linen service, scheduled transportation, planned activities and 24-hour security and nursing response. Assisted care services are provided to residents in 30 of the apartments. Those residents receive all of the above services plus assistance with daily living activities, medication monitoring and case management.
The deed to the property was transferred to a SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnership in September 1988.
1994 1993 1992 1991 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Revenues ($) 2,798,000 2,614,000 2,426,000 2,092,000 %Change from prior year +7.0 +7.7 +16.0 +28.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Expenses ($) 1,920,000 1,825,000 1,800,000 1,858,000 % Change from prior year +5.2 +1.4 -3.1 +16.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 912,000 772,000 524,000 280,000 % Change from prior year +18.1 +47.3 +87.1 [1] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Occupancy @ Year End (%) 94.9 99.4 96.8 93.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Average Occupancy (%) 97.5 98.1 95.5 90.1
[1] The property paid no debt service from property operations in 1990.
Rental Housing Market - There are three other full service rental retirement communities similar to Barkley Place in Fort Myers. All were built in the 1980's and each report high occupancy. Historically, Barkley has had higher occupancy and market rents than its competitors--a trend that is expected to continue based on the property's superior reputation in the market. To the best of the Managing General Partner's knowledge, there are no comparable properties under construction or planned for the Fort Myers area. A large property is planned for the submarket to the east of Fort Myers, with a projected construction start of late 1995 at the earliest.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues grew as a result of rent increases for existing residents and increases in the property's market rents. Market rents were increased approximately 5% in 1994. Total operating expenses grew at a slightly higher than average rate due to the completion of several capital improvements. Barkley Place paid its full debt service obligation from operating cash flow in 1994, as it did in 1993.
CREEKSIDE VILLAGE - Sacramento, California New Borrower: Creekside Village Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
Creekside Village is located on a 17 acre site in Sacramento, California. The property is conveniently located to Highway 99, a major thoroughfare. Shopping and medical facilities are within walking distance of the site. The property consists of two-story garden walkups and three- story elevator buildings with a total of 296 units. Creekside Village's amenities include a recreation building with a lounge, kitchen and game rooms, swimming pool, laundry facilities, covered parking and security gate system.
In February of 1994 the deed to the property was transferred to a SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnership.
1994 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,562,000 1,457,000 1,453,000 1,285,000 % Change from prior year +7.2 +0.3 +13.1 +34.3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 868,000 786,000 828,000 858,000 % Change from prior year +10.4 -5.1 -3.5 +55.7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 743,000 693,000 620,000 347,000 % Change from prior year +7.2 +11.8 +78.7 -18.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 94.6 97.3 93.2 92.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 97.2 93.5 94.9 84.0
The Rental Market - Creekside Village is designed for seniors age 55 and older. There are only a few facilities like it in Sacramento, none of which are located close to Creekside. Creekside's competition in 1994 came primarily from two sources: a new, subsidized project for seniors located in the submarket to the north of Creekside and the many family-oriented apartment properties located nearby. One of these family-oriented properties is being renovated and converted to "seniors only", but it has had no negative effect on Creekside. To the best of the Managing General Partner's knowledge, there are no properties like Creekside currently under construction or planned for the south Sacramento area in 1995.
The Sacramento rental market showed some improvement in 1994, with the apartment occupancy rate increasing to about 92% and market rents increasing about 5%. By comparison, in 1993 the apartment occupancy rate was 90% and market rents were either flat or declining. Improvement in the rental market has occurred hand in hand with positive job growth for the first time in three years, a decline in the unemployment rate and continued historically low levels of new apartment construction. Only 700 multifamily units were completed in the Sacramento region in 1994.
1994 Property Operating Results - Consistent with the improvement in the apartment market, Creekside's total revenues increased as a result of higher occupancy, rent increases for existing residents and a small (about 2%) increase in the property's market rents. Total operating expenses increased at an above average pace due to large increases in the costs of utilities and services. As the year ended, Creekside's occupancy was declining slowly and small concessions were being offered to stimulate leasing.
EMERALD HILLS - Issaquah, Washington Borrower: Axelrod-Emerald Hills Associates Limited Partnership General Partner: The Axelrod Company
Emerald Hills is located in Issaquah, a suburb 16 miles east of Seattle. The property consists of two- and three-story garden-style buildings and townhouses totaling 130 units. Property amenities include underground and covered parking, a clubhouse with exercise equipment and meeting rooms and an outdoor spa.
Emerald Hills continues to be owned by the original borrowing partnership.
1994 1993 1992 1991 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,025,000 958,000 933,000 912,000 % Change from prior year +7.0 +2.7 +2.3 -1.5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 499,000 494,000 488,000 504,000 % Change from prior year +1.0 +1.2 -3.2 +12.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 544,000 460,000 469,000 404,000 % Change from prior year +18.3 -1.9 +16.1 -16.5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 98.5 93.1 89.2 93.9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 98.0 95.8 93.3 90.8
The Rental Market - Apartment construction in King County remained low again in 1994 with the construction of approximately 1,460 new apartment units. As in 1993, none of these units were constructed in Issaquah. However, one 128-unit property began development in late 1994 and is expected to be completed in 1995. Based on the proposed pricing of its units and proposed amenities, this property is not expected to be a direct competitor of Emerald Hills. In 1994, the vacancy rate in King County increased to slightly more than 5%, but declined in the Issaquah submarket as the units completed in 1992 were absorbed. According to published sources, the use of rental concessions in this submarket remained the same as in 1993.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues for the property increased on the strength of higher average occupancy, elimination of rental concessions, slightly higher market rents (2.5% increases) and rent increases for existing residents. Total expenses remained comparable to the previous year. Debt service payments from operations increased in 1994, minimizing the use of property-level reserves.
GILMAN MEADOWS - Issaquah, Washington New Borrower: Gilman Meadows Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
Gilman Meadows is located in Issaquah, a suburb 16 miles east of Seattle. The property consists of 19 two-story buildings totaling 125 units. Property amenities include a swimming pool, a clubhouse with an exercise room, playground and covered parking.
The deed to the property was transferred to a SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnership in July 1992.
1994 1993 1992 1991 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,024,000 938,000 887,000 847,000 % Change from prior year +9.2 +5.7 +4.7 -5.6 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 504,000 556,000 553,000 536,000 % Change from prior year -9.4 +0.5 +3.2 +13.6 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 515,000 411,000 226,000 363,000 % Change from prior year +25.3 +81.9 -37.7 -15.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 93.6 90.4 91.2 87.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 92.1 92.5 91.2 86.7
The Rental Market - Apartment construction in King County remained low again in 1994 with the construction of approximately 1,460 new apartment units. As in 1993, none of these units were constructed in Issaquah. However, one 128-unit property began development in late 1994 and is expected to be completed in 1995. Based on the proposed pricing of its units and proposed amenities, this property is not expected to be a direct competitor of Gilman Meadows. In 1994, the vacancy rate in King County increased to slightly more than 5%, but declined in the Issaquah submarket as the units completed in 1992 were absorbed. The use of rental concessions in this submarket remained the same as in 1993.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues for the property increased on the strength of higher average economic occupancy, higher market rents (2-4% increases depending on unit type), and rent increases for existing residents. Total expenses decreased compared with 1993 because no major capital improvements were required.
HAMILTON CHASE - Chattanooga, Tennessee Borrower: Hamilton Grove Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
Hamilton Chase is located approximately 13 miles from downtown Chattanooga. The property consists of 17 two-story garden apartment buildings totaling 300 units. The property offers a large clubhouse, a fully-equipped exercise room, racquetball court, jacuzzi, swimming pool and a jogging trail circling the site.
Control of the Hamilton Grove Limited Partnership and the property was achieved when SCA Successor, Inc. replaced the general partner of the borrower in June 1994. This action was taken as a result of the borrower's failure to pay its full debt service obligation. Since assuming control of the property, several physical improvements have been initiated to improve its marketability.
1994 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,943,000 1,963,000 1,923,000 1,810,000 % Change from prior year -1.0 +2.1 +6.2 +4.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 1,176,000 852,000 762,000 873,000 % Change from prior year +38.0 +11.8 -12.7 -7.5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 709,000 948,000 1,089,000 918,000 % Change from prior year -25.2 -12.9 +18.6 +8.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 90.0 95.7 94.0 95.7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 93.2 94.7 95.8 93.1
Rental Housing Market - The construction of new rental units in the Chattanooga region has been limited to small townhouse developments which, due to a soft market, were converted to rental properties. To the best of the Managing General Partner's knowledge, no new construction of multi-family rental units is anticipated in 1995. Despite the lack of any new apartment construction in 1994, average occupancy and market rental rates remained stable in the region.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues decreased slightly from the previous year due to an increase in vacancy in the latter half of 1994. The large increase in expenses is attributable to an additional $216,000 in real estate taxes (unpaid from 1993), capital improvements, and certain non-recurring administrative costs.
LAKEVIEW GARDEN APARTMENTS - Dade County, Florida Borrower: Lakeview Garden Apartments Limited Partnership General Partner: Madick Developers, Inc.
Located south of Miami, in the Saga Bay area, Lakeview was built on a 7.8 acre waterfront site. The property consists of 180 units in three four- story buildings. Lakeview is conveniently located near Burger King's World Headquarters and a major Dade County office annex. There is easy access to the Florida Turnpike from the site. Lakeview Apartments offers one and two bedroom units with kitchen pantries, walk-in closets, washer/dryer facilities, open balconies and wall-to-wall carpeting. Amenities include a swimming pool, security gate, volley ball court, picnic pavilion and covered parking.
Lakeview continues to be owned by the original borrowing partnership; however, deficits in base interest occurred in the fourth quarter of 1994. As a result, the Managing General Partner began negotiations to transfer the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to a SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnership. The transfer of the deed is expected to occur in April of 1995.

[1] Due to Hurricane Andrew the property was not occupied for several months in 1992 and 1993.
Rental Housing Market - 1994 was a year of adjustment for the greater Miami market and the Cutler Ridge/Saga Bay submarket. During 1993, the greater Miami apartment market and the Cutler Ridge/Saga Bay submarket were stimulated by Hurricane Andrew (August 1992) as displaced people, especially homeowners and out-of-town or out-of-state construction workers, took temporary residence in apartments. Vacant apartments were hard to find and rents, which had been growing only slowly, increased very rapidly. Meanwhile, apartment construction continued at low levels, i.e., at a pace less than one-third the rate of the late 1980's.
By 1994, most apartments and homes had been restored, homeowners had returned to their residences and the temporary workers had left the region, simultaneously creating an increase in apartment supply and a decrease in apartment demand. These factors plus an upsurge in apartment construction contributed to a general increase in the apartment vacancy rate, flat or declining rents and an increase in rental concessions in the region.
As the year ended, Lakeview was feeling the effects of a soft rental market. Its occupancy rate was declining and rental concessions were being widely offered. Although, there were no new apartments under construction nearby. Lakeview was receiving stiff competition from several recently renovated projects in the area which benefit from superior location and access.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues declined due to lower occupancy and widespread use of rental concessions to stimulate leasing. Market rents were flat during the year, and minimal rent increases were passed-on to residents. Total expenses increased due to increased personnel costs and real estate taxes and insurance. The real estate taxes were increased after the property was rebuilt and reassessed. Insurance premiums for South Florida properties have increased following the Hurricane. As a result of the decline in revenues and increase in expenses, the property was able to pay only 76.4% of its debt service from property operations.
MALLARD COVE - Everett, Washington New Borrower: Mallard I & II Limited Partnerships General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
Mallard Cove is located on a 9.3-acre site in the Everett submarket, north of Seattle. Interstate-5 is only minutes from the site, which provides easy access to Seattle and the Boeing Aircraft Plant in Everett. The property consists of 198 units in three-story garden style buildings. Project amenities include a natural lake, swimming pool, exercise room, community building, jacuzzi and covered parking.
The property (which is divided into two phases of 63 and 135 units) was acquired through two separate bond issues. Both phases were transferred to SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnerships in July 1992.
1994 1993 1992 1991 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,242,000 1,191,000 1,125,000 1,059,000 % Change from prior year +4.3 +5.9 +6.2 -8.6 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 796,000 727,000 616,000 650,000 % Change from prior year +9.5 +18.0 -5.2 -6.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 450,000 455,000 418,000 459,000 % Change from prior year -1.1 +8.9 -8.9 +0.7 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 95.4 92.4 96.0 87.4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 93.1 91.9 94.0 85.3
The Rental Market - The construction of new apartments in Snohomish County was again minimal in 1994 with fewer than 300 units completed in the County. According to published reports, however, five new properties are anticipated to be constructed in 1995 which could result in as many as 570 additional rental units in Mallard Cove's submarket. The vacancy rate in Mallard Cove's submarket remained at 6% in 1994, with over ninety percent of the apartment properties offering some form of rental concessions.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues increased on the strength of small increases in market rents, rent increases to existing residents and the decreased use of rental concessions, particularly in the last quarter of 1994. Total expenses increased due to increases in payroll, utilities and financing costs. Because of these expenses, debt service paid from operations decreased slightly in 1994.
THE MEADOWS - Memphis, Tennessee New Borrower: The Meadows Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
The Meadows is located on the northeast side of Memphis, approximately 25 miles from downtown Memphis. The property consists of ten two-story buildings totaling 200 units.

The deed to The Meadows was transferred to a SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnership in March 1992.
1994 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,126,000 1,055,000 999,000 909,000 % Change from prior year +6.7 +5.6 +9.9 -0.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 584,000 553,000 541,000 491,000 % Change from prior year +5.6 +2.2 +10.2 +12.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 578,000 528,000 368,000 383,000 % Change from prior year +9.5 +43.4 -3.9 -15.8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 99.5 95.6 94.0 92.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 98.4 95.6 94.5 90.8
Rental Housing Market - New apartment construction in the Memphis metropolitan market increased only slightly in 1994. As of 1994 year- end, a total of 320 apartment units were built in the region. However, an additional 1,770 units are scheduled for completion in 1995 or 1996. Of this total, only one 238-unit property is planned for The Meadows' submarket in 1995 and, based on its location, it is not expected to negatively impact The Meadows. Average occupancy in the Memphis region (for units built since 1984) remained high at 96.4% and rents increased by 10%. In The Meadows' submarket, year-end occupancy was 97.5% and rents increased 8.5%. The Meadows' overall performance mirrored that of its submarket.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues increased as average occupancy increased, concessions were eliminated and market rents were increased by 8-10%, depending on unit type. Total expenses at the property included $40,000 in capital improvements; absent these capital expenses, operating expenses decreased by 2% compared with 1993. The property was able to pay all of its current debt service obligation from property operations.
THE MONTCLAIR - Springfield, Missouri New Borrower: Montclair Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
The Montclair is a 159 unit retirement community located near Springfield's prestigious "Medical Mile", an area with a heavy concentration of medical service providers.

The deed to the property was transferred to a SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnership in February 1989.
1994 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 2,438,000 2,269,000 2,103,000 1,612,000 % Change from prior year +7.4 +7.9 +30.5 +41.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 1,294,000 1,191,000 1,120,000 1,011,000 % Change from prior year +8.6 +6.3 +10.8 -4.5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 1,204,000 1,098,000 954,000 551,000 % Change from prior year +9.7 +15.1 +73.1 [1] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 98.1 98.7 96.9 97.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 97.7 97.8 99.0 82.0
[1] The property paid no debt service from property operations in 1990.
Rental Housing Market - The established rental retirement communities in Springfield which compete with The Montclair report high occupancy. One small property consisting of 30 units was completed in 1994. This property had no effect on The Montclair. There are no other rental retirement communities under construction or planned for Springfield in the near future.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues increased as a result of rent increases for existing residents and general increases in the property's market rents. The Montclair's market rents were increased approximately 7% during the year. Higher administrative expenses caused the above average increase in total operating expenses; however, the strong growth in revenues offset the increase in expenses and contributed to another increase in debt service payments from property operations.
NEWPORT-ON-SEVEN - St. Louis Park, Minnesota Borrower: St. Louis Park Housing Partners General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
Newport-On-Seven is located on a 6.7 acre site in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a mature first-ring suburb of Minneapolis.

SCA Successor, Inc. took control of the property in August 1991 when it replaced the general partner of the borrowing partnership.
1994 1993 1992 1991 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,440,000 1,368,000 1,265,000 1,292,000 % Change from prior year +5.3 +8.1 -2.1 +5.9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 846,000 860,000 783,000 757,000 % Change from prior year -1.6 +9.8 +3.4 -0.4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 598,000 500,000 460,000 523,000 % Change from prior year +19.6 +8.7 -12.0 +16.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 98.2 97.6 95.2 89.8 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 97.2 96.8 94.6 95.0
Rental Housing Market - About 3,000 new apartments were completed in the Minneapolis/St. Paul region in 1994, after averaging only about 2,100 units annually from 1991 to 1993. While this is a significant increase in construction over 1993, it is still very low by historical standards. There is estimated to be less than 1,500 multifamily units under construction now in the metropolitan region, with none near Newport- on- Seven. No new properties are anticipated to begin construction in the vicinity of Newport-on-Seven in 1995.
The rental occupancy rate in the Minneapolis region increased to 96.7% from 96.0% a year ago. In Newport-on-Seven's submarket, the rental occupancy rate increased to 98.4% from 96.5% a year ago. Rents increased 2.6% over the year in the region and 3.2% in Newport-on- Seven's submarket. No rent concessions were offered at Newport-on- Seven, and only one in ten properties in the metropolitan region were offering rent concessions at year end.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues increased due to higher occupancy, rent increases for existing residents and higher market rents. Newport-on-Seven's market rents were increased 9% during the year. Total expenses declined as a result of lower real estate taxes.
NEWPORT VILLAGE - Thornton, Colorado New Borrower: Newport Village Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
Newport Village is located in the city of Thornton, a suburb north of Denver. The property consists of 220 units with a mix of traditional three- story walkups and cottage style apartments. Apartment amenities include security systems, fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, washer/dryers and patios or balconies.
The deed to the property was transferred to a SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnership in August 1989.
1994 1993 1992 1991 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,458,000 1,354,000 1,238,000 1,148,000 % Change from prior year +7.7 +9.4 +7.8 +9.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 832,000 773,000 770,000 728,000 % Change from prior year +7.6 +0.4 +5.8 +2.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 640,000 577,000 483,000 420,000 % Change from prior year +10.9 +19.5 +15.0 +18.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 98.2 95.9 99.1 95.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 95.8 98.4 96.8 93.2
Rental Housing Market - The Denver rental market continued to be very strong with an apartment occupancy rate of 96.3%, market rent increases of almost 8% and apartment construction of about 2,000 units (which is similar to 1993 and three times the average number of apartments constructed annually between 1989 and 1992). Apartment construction in 1995 is expected to double that of 1994; however, given Denver's growing economy and the short supply of apartments currently, the increase in construction should not create an imbalance in the market. The submarket in which Newport Village is located was not quite as strong as the region. In the Northglenn/Thornton submarket, the apartment occupancy rate was about 96.0% and market rents increased only 2%during the year. Of the units built in the region, none were constructed in Newport Village's submarket and none are anticipated to be built there until 1996.
1994 Property Operating Results -Total revenues increased due to rent increases for existing residents and increased market rents. Market rents were increased approximately 7% during the year. Total operating expenses increased at an above average pace due to capital improvements that were needed to preserve the asset or enhance its marketability.
NICOLLET RIDGE - Burnsville, Minnesota New Borrower: Nicollet Ridge Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.

Apartment amenities include washer/dryers, vaulted ceilings and security alarm systems. There is a community clubhouse with a party room, full kitchen facilities, an exercise room, racquetball court, tanning bed and whirlpool. Underground garage parking is available for all residents.
The deed to the property was transferred to a SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnership in December 1990.
1994 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 2,613,000 2,610,000 2,513,000 2,466,000 % Change from prior year +0.1 +3.9 +1.9 +11.5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 1,727,000 1,675,000 1,707,000 1,627,000 % Change from prior year +3.1 -1.9 +4.9 +21.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 912,000 908,000 820,000 864,000 % Change from prior year +0.4 +10.7 -5.1 +26.5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 99.1 93.8 96.5 95.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 95.6 96.1 97.1 93.7
Rental Housing Market - About 3,000 new apartments were completed in the Minneapolis/St. Paul region in 1994, after averaging only about 2,100 units annually from 1991 to 1993. While this is a significant increase in construction over 1993, it is still very low by historical standards. There is estimated to be less than 1,500 multifamily units under construction now in the metropolitan region, with none near Nicollet Ridge. No new properties are anticipated to begin construction in the vicinity of Nicollet in 1995.
The rental occupancy rate in the Minneapolis region increased to 96.7% from 96.0% a year ago. In Nicollet's submarket, the rental occupancy rate increased to 97.9% from 96.4% a year ago. Rents increased 2.6% over the year in the region and 3.3% in Nicollet's submarket. No rent concessions were being offered at Nicollet at year end, and only one in ten properties in the metropolitan region were offering rent concessions as 1995 began.
1994 Property Operating Results -Total revenues showed no growth over 1993 due primarily to lower occupancy, particularly in the first half of the year. This lower occupancy was believed to be caused by too aggressive rent increases and the delaying of physical improvements. The commencement of property improvements and the focused efforts of the Managing General Partner contributed to increased occupancy and the elimination of rental concessions during the third quarter of 1994. The property ended the year on a high note and strong growth in debt service payments from property operations is expected in 1995.
NORTH POINTE (formerly Shandin Hills) - San Bernardino, California Borrower: Cal Shel Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
North Pointe is located 75 miles east of Los Angeles off of Interstate 215 North in San Bernardino. The property consists of 59 two-story garden apartment buildings totaling 540 units. North Pointe's amenities include two pools and three whirlpool spas. The clubhouse contains a sauna, tanning bed, racquetball court and weight and exercise equipment. North Pointe is unique in that it is one of the few communities in the area that offers apartments with fireplaces.
SCA Successor, Inc. took control of the property in November of 1992 when it replaced the general partner of the borrowing partnership.
1994 1993 1992 1991 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 2,803,000 2,722,000 2,966,000 2,915,000 % Change from prior year +3.0 -8.2 +1.8 -3.4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 1,978,000 2,180,000 1,717,000 1,523,000 % Change from prior year -9.3 +27.0 +12.7 -5.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 922,000 639,000 1,199,000 1,412,000 % Change from prior year +44.3 -46.7 -15.1 +6.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 70.6 87.2 80.0 81.3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 80.3 80.6 85.7 84.6
Rental Housing Market - North Pointe and its competitors continue to feel the effects of the severe overbuilding that occurred in the late 1980's; namely, stagnant or declining market rents, high vacancy rates and frequent use of rental concessions to stimulate leasing activity. Market rents in San Bernardino are roughly at the same level they were five years ago and the vacancy rate hovers at around 10%.
California's economic conditions have exacerbated San Bernardino's weak rental market; however, San Bernardino's unemployment rate is now declining and the rate of job creation is increasing. An improving local economy, combined with expected healthy increases in population and households and continued low levels of apartment construction, should bring about improvement in the rental market in the next several years. Less than 1,000 new apartments were constructed in the San Bernardino region in 1994 and little construction is expected again in 1995. No apartments were built near North Pointe in 1994, and none are anticipated in 1995.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues grew due to lower vacancy loss and an increase in miscellaneous (non-rental) revenues. Total expenses declined because fewer capital improvements were necessary, as compared to 1993. As the year ended, occupancy was declining and rents and concessions were being adjusted to stimulate leasing activity.
NORTHRIDGE PARK - Salinas, California Borrower: Northridge Park Phase II General Partner: A. F. Evans Co., Inc.
Northridge Park is located on a 5.4 acre site five miles north of downtown Salinas. The property has convenient access to shopping and major thoroughfares, specifically the Northridge Regional Mall and California Route 101.
The property consists of two-story garden apartment buildings totaling 128 units. Northridge's popular design and comprehensive amenities include fireplaces, cable television, washer/dryers, carports, lighted tennis courts, and a clubhouse and recreation building with exercise equipment, racquetball court and swimming pool.
The property continues to be owned by the original borrowing partnership. The developer, as a requirement of the loan, has posted operating deficit letters of credit (LOC's) which remain in place until the property achieves a positive cash flow. In the event shortfalls in base interest occur, the Managing General Partner will draw the LOC's to keep the loan current.
1994 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 976,000 992,000 1,017,000 974,000 % Change from prior year -1.6 -2.5 +4.4 -0.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 430,000 383,000 400,000 389,000 % Change from prior year +12.3 -4.3 +2.8 -10.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 560,000 612,000 625,000 595,000 % Change from prior year -8.5 -2.1 +5.0 +8.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 94.5 89.1 94.5 90.6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 94.0 94.5 93.9 91.7
The Rental Market - In 1994, the Salinas rental market began to recover from the ill effects of 1993's weak state and local economy. Salinas' economy has been stimulated, in part, by the construction of a state penitentiary in a neighboring community. Apartment occupancy rates increased from 90% to approximately 95%, the marketing of rental concessions was discontinued and rents were increased modestly during the year. There were no apartments constructed in the Salinas area in 1994, nor are any expected to be built there in 1995.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total Revenues declined due to an increase in rent concessions and vacancy loss. Total expenses increased at an above average rate due to increases in payroll, utilities, repairs and maintenance and administrative expenses.
RIVERSET - Memphis, Tennessee Borrower: Auction Street Associates Limited Partnership General Partner: Venture Technology Properties
Riverset Apartments is located on a 25-acre site on a Mississippi River Island adjacent to downtown Memphis. It offers suburban living in an urban location; for this reason, a high percentage of Riverset's residents are employed in downtown Memphis.

Riverset's amenity package includes a 7,000-square foot clubhouse with an exercise and weight room, racquetball court, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and billiard room. There are four swimming pools, three tennis courts, a convenience store and a jogging trail on site. Apartment features include fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans, patios, decks and sun rooms.
The property continues to be owned by the original borrowing partnership. The success of Riverset's Phase I led the developers to build Phase II consisting of 148 units. Both Phases share amenities and recreational areas. Phase II is not in the Partnership's portfolio.
1994 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 2,416,000 2,315,000 2,223,000 2,198,000 % Change from prior year +4.4 +4.1 +11.4 +7.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 858,000 762,000 769,000 773,000 % Change from prior year +12.6 -0.9 -0.5 -1.8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 1,490,000 1,510,000 1,380,000 1,460,000 % Change from prior year -1.3 +9.4 -5.5 +21.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 96.6 97.4 96.3 90.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 97.2 95.4 93.2 90.6
Rental Housing Market - Apartment construction in the downtown Memphis submarket during 1994 included the rehabilitation of a 156-unit building and the start of the rehabilitation of another 202-unit building. In 1994, average occupancy in the entire Memphis region (for units built after 1984) remained high at 96.4% and rents increased by 10%. In Riverset's submarket, occupancy averaged nearly 97% and rents increased by 6.8% during the year. Riverset's performance closely mirrored that of its submarket.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues increased due to improved occupancy, increases in market rents (an average of 5%) and increases in rents for existing residents. Total expenses increased due to the completion of certain capital items. Absent these capital expenses, operating expenses increased 5% over 1993. The property continues to pay most of its base interest obligation from property operations, with the balance coming from property-level reserves.

Rental Housing Market - About 3,000 new apartments were completed in the Minneapolis/St. Paul region in 1994, after averaging only about 2,100 units annually from 1991 to 1993. While this is a significant increase in construction over 1993, it is still very low by historical standards. There is estimated to be less than 1,500 multifamily units under construction now in the metropolitan region, with none near Southfork. No new properties are anticipated to begin construction in the vicinity of Southfork in 1995.
The rental occupancy rate in the Minneapolis region increased to 96.7% from 96.0% a year ago. In Southfork's submarket, the rental occupancy rate increased to 97.9% from 96.4% a year ago. Rents increased 2.6% over the year in the region and 3.3% in Southfork's submarket. No rental concessions were offered at Southfork, and only one in ten properties in the metropolitan region were offering rent concessions at year end.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues increased due to improved occupancy, rent increases for existing residents and higher market rents. Southfork's market rents were increased 3.5% during 1994. Total operating expenses rose at a greater than average pace due to increased repairs and maintenance and related supplies. The property was able to pay almost all (i.e., 96.4%) of its base interest from property operations, with the remainder coming from property-level reserves.
STEEPLECHASE FALLS - Knoxville, Tennessee New Borrower: Steeplechase Falls Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
Steeplechase Falls is located on a rolling, 48-acre site north of Knoxville overlooking the Smokey Mountains. The property is conveniently located off of Interstate-75, approximately 15 minutes from downtown Knoxville. The property consists of 450 units in a combination of garden apartments and townhouses. Steeplechase offers several creative floor plans which feature vaulted ceilings, sunken living rooms and fireplaces. The property's amenities include a clubhouse, a weight and exercise room, two pools, a heated jacuzzi, tennis and volleyball courts, a lake with a fountain and a picnic area.
The deed to the property was transferred to a SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnership in July 1993.
1994 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 2,807,000 2,620,000 2,569,000 2,430,000 % Change from prior year +7.1 +2.0 +5.7 +10.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 1,440,000 1,301,000 1,327,000 1,289,000 % Change from prior year +10.6 -2.0 +3.0 -19.7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 1,354,000 1,317,000 1,123,000 1,135,000 % Change from prior year +2.8 +17.3 -1.1 +45.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 94.2 95.6 96.0 96.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 94.7 96.2 96.3 95.0
Rental Housing Market - To the best of the Managing General Partner's knowledge, there was no new construction of apartment communities in the Knoxville market in 1994 and none is anticipated in 1995. The region's occupancy rate increased slightly from 96.5% in 1993 to 97.4% in 1994, while the occupancy rate in Steeplechase's submarket remained unchanged at 97% in 1994. Market rents increased in 1994 and the use of rental concessions declined.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues increased as market rents were increased by 5% and rent increases were given to existing residents. As a result of an aggressive rent increase policy, average occupancy decreased slightly in 1994. Total expenses increased due to additional capital improvements; absent these capital improvements, expenses increased by only 3% during the year.
VILLA HIALEAH - Hialeah, Florida Borrower: Shelter Group Southeast-Hialeah, A Limited Partnership General Partner: Shelter Group Southeast, Inc.
Villa Hialeah is located on a ten acre parcel in Hialeah, Florida. The site is conveniently located ten miles from the Miami International Airport and approximately 15 miles north of downtown Miami. The property is situated between the Florida Turnpike and the Palmetto Expressway. Villa Hialeah consists of 39 two-story townhouse units plus 206 apartments in two, four-story elevator buildings. The complex is enclosed by a security fence. Amenities at Villa Hialeah include a swimming pool, sundeck and clubhouse/activity center. The clubhouse has complete kitchen facilities.
The property continues to be owned by the original borrowing partnership.
1994 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,730,000 1,658,000 1,569,000 1,494,000 % Change from prior year +4.3 +5.7 +5.0 +2.3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 976,000 918,000 939,000 961,000 % Change from prior year +6.3 -2.2 -2.3 +25.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 750,000 772,000 649,000 514,000 % Change from prior year -2.8 +19.0 +26.3 -18.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 95.1 100.0 100.0 95.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 97.2 99.8 97.9 94.8
Rental Housing Market - At year end, Villa Hialeah was feeling the effects of a soft rental market. Its occupancy rate was declining and small rental concessions were being offered. Although there were several small, new apartment properties under construction in Hialeah, they were not affecting Villa's occupancy. Instead, it would appear that Villa's rents (which are at the top of the Hialeah market) are now at a level comparable to those found at similar apartment properties in the more affluent Miami Lakes market to the north of Hialeah. That market is overbuilt, with occupancy rates falling and rental concessions being widely marketed.
1994 Property Operating Results - Despite lower occupancy, total revenues rose slightly on the strength of rent increases for existing residents. Market rents were flat during the year. Total expenses increased at a higher than average pace due to higher utility and insurance expenses (both a byproduct of Hurricane Andrew in 1992). The property was able to pay 92.9% of its base interest obligation from property operations, with the remainder coming from property-level reserves.
WHISPERING LAKE - Kansas City, Missouri New Borrower: Whispering Lake Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
Whispering Lake is located off of Interstate 70 in a quiet suburb 15 minutes east of Kansas City. The property is only one mile east of the Truman Sports Complex which houses two professional sports teams. The property consists of 16 multiple story garden style buildings totaling 384 units. The property has a well equipped clubhouse which overlooks a lake. This facility includes a health club with complete exercise facilities, spa, weight room and sauna. A swimming pool adjacent to the clubhouse is also available for residents' use, and tennis courts are located nearby. Covered parking is available for 70% of the residents. Apartment unit amenities include washer/dryers, microwaves and fireplaces.
The deed to Whispering Lake was transferred to a SCA Successor, Inc. controlled partnership in September 1992.
1994 1993 1992 1991 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 2,038,000 1,934,000 1,983,000 1,826,000 % Change from prior year +5.4 -2.5 +8.6 -4.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 1,052,000 1,177,000 1,201,000 1,161,000 % Change from prior year -10.6 -2.0 +3.4 +6.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 924,000 685,000 646,000 508,000 % Change from prior year +34.9 +6.0 +27.2 -25.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 95.3 88.3 92.2 93.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 92.5 90.8 93.5 86.2
Rental Housing Market - Rental market conditions continued to improve in the Kansas City area during 1994. Apartment construction continued at low levels, with about 1,000 units being completed in the region-- a pace only slightly above that of the last several years. Occupancy was around 95.3% and market rents increased about 2.4% in the region during the year. By contrast, in Whispering Lake's southeast market area, occupancy dropped compared to a year ago to 90%, while rents increased about 3%. At year end, Whispering Lake, too, was experiencing lower occupancy, although this is believed to be a temporary condition. There are no apartments under construction in Whispering Lake's submarket nor are any expected to be built there in 1995. There are approximately 2,000 apartments under construction in the rest of the Kansas City region.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues increased due primarily to rent increases for existing residents and increases in the property's market rents. Market rents were increased 6% during the year. Operating expenses fell sharply, largely on the strength of a successful real estate tax appeal.
WILLOWGREEN - Fife, Washington Borrower: Willowgreen Limited Partnership General Partner: SCA Successor, Inc.
Willowgreen Apartments is located on a ten-acre site in Fife, a suburb of Tacoma. The property is adjacent to Interstate-5 which provides easy access to Tacoma's port, educational and medical facilities and is only 30 minutes south of Seattle. The property consists of 18 two-story garden apartment buildings totaling 241 units. The property has a clubhouse, swimming pool, racquetball court and covered parking.
The deed to the property was transferred to a SCA Successor-controlled partnership in November 1994.
1994 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues ($) 1,376,000 1,321,000 1,247,000 1,166,000 % Change from prior year +4.2 +5.9 +6.9 -2.6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Expenses ($) 764,000 728,000 718,000 693,000 % Change from prior year +4.9 +1.4 +3.6 +4.5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Paid ($) (Operations) 637,000 665,000 530,000 456,000 % Change from operations -4.2 +25.5 +16.2 -16.8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy @ Year End (%) 96.7 93.4 94.2 95.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy (%) 94.0 93.9 92.5 89.6
Rental Housing Market - The number of new apartment units constructed in Pierce County increased slightly in 1994 as approximately 380 units were completed. A significant increase in apartment construction (1,260 units) is projected in 1995 and 480 of these units will be built in the Puyallup/Fife submarket. The vacancy rate in this submarket remained steady at approximately 5% and market rents increased 3-4% in both Pierce County and Willowgreen's submarket.
1994 Property Operating Results - Total revenues increased due to small increases in market rents as well as rent increases for existing residents. Most of the increase in revenues and expenses is due to a change in accounting methodology that had no net effect on the amount of cash flow available for debt service. The increases in total revenues and total expenses reflect approximately $40,000 in housing allowances which were reclassified from property expenses to a reduction in total revenues. Absent this accounting change, revenues increased only slightly and revenues decreased slightly in 1994. Approximately $22,000 in capital expenses were not reimbursed from replacement reserves, as they had been in 1993, which resulted in a decrease in debt service paid from operations.
New Business
On February 14, 1995, the Partnership consummated a financing transaction in which additional proceeds were raised through the offering of $67,700,000 in aggregate principal amount of Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Bond Receipts, (collectively, the "Receipts").
The financing transaction was carried out in four steps. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for details.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On March 5, 1991, SCA Associates 86 Limited Partnership, the Partnership's Associate General Partner, filed a request for the appointment of a Receiver in the Superior Court of the State of California for the Creekside Village property. The Partnership presented evidence to the Court that the borrower, Creekside Ventures, Ltd., had a monetary default totalling $119,389. On March 22, 1991, the Court ruled in favor of the Partnership and appointed Hank Fisher, president of an experienced Sacramento property management company, as Receiver for Creekside Village. Mr. Fisher took over the operations of the property on March 23, 1991. The Associate General Partner initiated foreclosure proceedings and filed suit against the guarantors to obtain funding under their limited operating deficit guarantee. On February 9, 1994, the Managing General Partner successfully transferred the Creekside deed to a New Borrower pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement negotiated with the original borrower. In addition, a settlement agreement was reached with the guarantor. Under the terms of the agreement, the guarantor will pay the Partnership $75,000, $45,000 of which was collected in February of 1994. As collateral for the payment of the $30,000 balance, the guarantor has consented to a voluntary judgment which will be filed with the Court in the event of the guarantor's non- payment or bankruptcy. In August 1994, the guarantor paid $12,400 which represents $10,000 in principal owed plus $2,400 in interest. The remaining $20,000 owed will be paid in two installments of $10,000 plus interest. These payments are due on or before August 31, 1995 and August 31, 1996.

ITEM 5.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The Registrant is a partnership and thus has no common stock. There is no established public trading market for the BACs. Trading in the BACs is sporadic and occurs solely through private transactions. As of March 28,1995, there were 9,727 recordholders of BACs in Series I and 4,214 recordholders of BACs in Series II.
Semi-annual distributions of cash flow (as defined in the Partnership Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership the "Partnership Agreement") are payable within 45 days after the end of each six month period. All cash flow with respect to each six month period of the calendar year is paid, first, 99% to the BAC Holders and 1% to the General Partners until the BAC Holders receive a noncompounded return in such calendar year equal to 8.5% of their Adjusted Capital Contributions (as defined in the Partnership Agreement); second, 1% to the BAC Holders and 99% to the General Partners until the General Partners receive an amount equal to .5% per annum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all mortgage loans, commencing in and cumulative from January 1, 1990; third, 99% to the BAC Holders and 1% to the General Partners until the BAC Holders receive a noncompounded cumulative return for each calendar year equal to 10% per annum of their Adjusted Capital Contributions, and fourth, thereafter during such year, 90% to the BAC Holders and 10% to the General Partners. There are no restrictions on the present or future ability of the Partnership to make distributions of cash flow.
For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, cash distributions paid or accrued to the Series I BAC Holders as a group totalled $10,000,000, $10,000,000 and $10,250,000, respectively. In 1992, approximately $300,000 represented a return of investor capital and thus was not subject to the cash flow distribution splits described above. In 1994 and 1993, there were no returns of capital included in the cash distribution. Cash distributions paid or accrued to the Series II BAC Holders as a group for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, totalled $5,294,080, $5,775,361 and $6,016,000, respectively. Of these amounts in 1994, 1993 and 1992, approximately $300,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, represented a return of investor capital and thus was not subject to the cash flow distribution splits described above.
Item 7.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General Business
The SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized in 1986 and had two public offerings of Beneficial Assignee Certificates ("BACs") representing the assignment of limited partnership interests. The Partnership was organized for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by various state or local governments or their agencies or authorities. The portfolio is made up of two distinct pools of investments ("Series I" and "Series II"). The Partnership separately reports the operating activity of each series by preparing separate financial statements. SCA Realty I, Inc. is the 0.1% Managing General Partner and SCA Associates 86 Limited Partnership is the 0.99% Associate General Partner (collectively, the "General Partners").
The bonds are secured by nonrecourse participating first mortgage loans on multi-family residential properties. The total return to the Partnership is generally dependent upon the net cash flow and the net capital appreciation of the underlying properties. Therefore, the rate of return to the Partnership depends upon the economic performance of the underlying properties collateralizing the mortgage loans, which are in competition with other income-producing properties of the same type in the same geographic area, and which are affected by prevailing market conditions.
The apartment over building of the 1980s, the economic recession and the modest recovery beginning in 1991 have significantly affected general property performance. Most real estate markets experienced a period of higher vacancies and stagnant or declining market rents along with widely marketed rental concessions. In many markets, there is evidence of recovery and increasing value of multi-family residential real estate. However, in several of the markets where the Partnership's bond financed properties are located, rents have continued to be unchanged or are growing only slightly. Unless the market conditions and property operating results begin to improve dramatically and for an extended period of time, it is probable that the full amount of BAC Holder invested capital may not be recoverable on some of the bonds through net sale or refinancing proceeds at the originally anticipated time of sale. Consequently, the Managing General Partner will consider the feasibility of improving the recovery of BAC Holder capital through an extension of individual mortgage revenue bond holding periods.
The Managing General Partner periodically assesses the performance of the individual properties which collateralize the portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership and projects the likely revenues, expenses, net operating income and value of the properties through the fourteenth year from the date of purchase, the originally anticipated holding period as specified in the Partnership's Prospectus. The results of these assessments are reflected in the financial statements as valuation adjustments against specific assets where appropriate. In addition, the results of these assessments are the basis of the fair value disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.
Although it has not previously directly provided any estimates of current BAC value to the BAC Holders, the Managing General Partner understands that in the past representations of value have been reported on investor statements based upon information provided by the Managing General Partner. These representations did not include any explanation of the basis of the value. The methodology used was based upon the BACs being held through the originally anticipated holding period of the bonds and was contingent upon various assumptions of trends in property performance, capitalization rates and discount rates. The estimates were developed by calculating the present value of projections of cash flow from the individual bonds through sale or refinancing at the end of the originally anticipated holding period. The results were not intended to represent current market pricing (discussed below).
The Managing General Partner does not believe it is appropriate to estimate the current fair value of the BACs or to forecast the long-term value of BACs because the estimates are contingent upon assumptions which are subject to variations for the following reasons: the Partnership investment which was presumed to be one made for a specific holding term, has been extended for some bonds; the national economic downturn recently experienced had a significant negative impact on real estate markets, the recovery from which is difficult to predict; there is continuing recession in regional markets, such as those in California; the soft real estate markets driven by both the economy and the over building in the late 1980's resulted in a large number of loan defaults in the Partnership's portfolio; and it has taken some time to conclude the loan workouts and to stabilize the performance of the assets and there are several methodologies which might be employed for predicting BAC value but which could yield different estimates.
The secondary market for limited partnership interests is very limited. For BAC Holders, it consists of the Merrill Lynch Limited Partnership Secondary Market Transaction Desk and services offered by various partnership trading groups and the trades occur intermittently and at widely varying prices. Nonetheless, these trades reflect the only verifiable evidence of current BAC pricing. Through the Merrill Lynch Limited Partnership Secondary Market Transaction Desk for the quarter ended December 31, 1994, approximately four tenths of one percent (.4%) or 712 of the 200,000 Series I BACs traded for an average price of $516 per BAC. For the same period, approximately five tenths of one percent (.5%) or 527 of the 96,256 Series II BACs traded for an average price of $610 per BAC. The Managing General Partner is not representing these market prices as the value of the BACs, but is providing them so that BAC Holders are informed.
The Partnership Agreement requires that the Managing General Partner use its best effort to assure that the Partnership shall be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. In this regard, 177061 Canada Ltd. ("Shelter Canada") , a general partner of the Associate General Partner, represented that it would use its best efforts to maintain a net worth of at least 15,000,000 Canadian dollars during the Partnership's term. Unaudited internal financial information obtained by the Managing General Partner during 1994, indicates that Shelter Canada's net worth has declined to less than 100,000 Canadian dollars. After consultation with legal counsel, it is the opinion of the Managing General Partner that the deteriorated net worth of Shelter Canada should not affect the tax classification of the Partnership. In addition, the deterioration should not affect Shelter Canada's repayment of its obligations under the Limited Operating Deficit Guarantee settlements for two of the Partnership's loans, as the payments continue to be made from a secured cash stream. See the December 31, 1992 report on Form 10-K pages A-36 and A-37 for additional information on the Limited Operating Deficit Guarantee settlements.
Subsequent Event
As discussed in previous reports, the Managing General Partner has continued to pursue actively a means to provide BAC Holders with additional current income while enhancing investment value with a prudent level of risk. On February 14, 1995, the Partnership consummated a financing transaction which the Managing General Partner believes can achieve these goals.
Additional proceeds were raised through the offering of $67,700,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Receipts. The Receipts are collateralized by a pool of eleven of the original mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership. These eleven bonds all relate to properties that defaulted on their original debt obligation. The cash stream from one additional property, Creekside Village ("Creekside"), which also defaulted on its original debt obligation, has been pledged as further security for the transaction. These bonds, including Creekside, are currently classified as investments in real estate and the operating partnerships for the underlying properties that collateralize the bonds are controlled by SCA Successor, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the General Partner of these operating partnerships, withdrew and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, as sole General Partner. The other bonds in the Partnership are unaffected. The specific bonds are as follows:
SCA TAX EXEMPT FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP MORTGAGE REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS
The financing transaction was carried out in four steps:
The Refunding. As stated above, eleven bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of $126,590,000, were refunded by the issuers of such bonds. As a result, a Series A Bond and a Series B Bond (whose aggregate principal amount equals that of the original bonds) were exchanged for each of the original bonds. The aggregate principal amount of the Series A Bonds and Series B Bonds is $67,700,000 and $58,890,000, respectively. Each Series B Bond is subordinate to the related issue of Series A Bonds. In addition, the maturity date for each bond has been extended as part of the refunding to January 2030.
The Series A Bonds bear interest at various fixed rates per annum, as detailed on the schedule above. The Series A Bonds are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemptions which commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Bonds bear interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of available cash flow not exceeding 16% per annum. Principal on the Series B Bonds will not be amortized, but will be required to be repaid or refinanced in a lump sum payment at maturity.
The Trust. The Partnership deposited each of the Series A Bonds and Series B Bonds with the SCA Tax Exempt Trust (the "Trust")which was created to hold these assets. A Certificate of Participation in the corpus and the income of the Trust was issued representing interests in the two series of bonds. The Partnership is the sole holder of the Certificate of Participation.
The Custody Agreement and New Investors. The Series A Bonds were deposited by the Trust with a custodian. The additional proceeds were raised through the sale of Receipts in the Series A Bonds, which were issued by the custodian, to new investors. The Receipts are credit enhanced by Financial Security Assurance Inc. ("FSA") and are rated AAA and Aaa by Standard and Poors and Moody's, respectively. The Receipts were marketed by CS First Boston which acted as underwriter and placement agent for the Partnership in this transaction.
The Receipt holders have a fixed interest rate and preferred return position so that a guaranteed, preferred, fixed rate tax exempt return will be paid to the new investors from the interest collected on the Series A Bonds. The operating partnerships entered into an interest rate swap agreement whereby a portion of the fixed interest rate under the Series A Bonds was swapped for a floating tax exempt interest rate. This mechanism will allow the Partnership to realize the potential benefit of traditionally lower interest rates. Also, an interest rate cap was purchased to limit the Partnership's exposure under the floating tax exempt interest rate obligation. Further, in order to obtain credit enhancement and an investment grade rating of the Receipts, the Partnership was required to pledge the eleven bonds, as well as the cash stream from the eleven properties collateralizing the bonds to FSA. In addition, the cash stream from Creekside has been pledged to FSA as further security.
The cash generated from the properties collateralizing the eleven bonds in the pool is pledged first to the new investors holding Receipts in the A Bonds. Any cash in excess of the amount needed to pay interest on the Receipts is then paid for the benefit of BAC Holders. The cash flow generated on assets acquired with the new proceeds, as discussed below, and any net proceeds received under the swap agreement also will be for the benefit of BAC Holders. These cash streams are not pledged to the new investors.
Use of Proceeds from the Sale of the Receipts. In return for the sale of Receipts in the Series A Bonds, the Trust, for the benefit of the Partnership, received $67.7 million from the custodian. The Managing General Partner expects that the net proceeds of approximately $56.8 million will be invested in additional mortgage revenue bonds that finance multi-family properties. The cash stream from these investments would benefit BAC Holders in the form of additional tax exempt distributions. Approximately $10.9 million is being used to finance transaction costs, Partnership reserves and interest rate cap.
In addition, the following items were implemented under the transaction:
As part of the financing transaction, the operating partnerships entered into a cross-collateralization agreement among themselves. This cross-collateralization agreement may result in the operating partnerships being obligated under the Series A Bond obligations of the other operating partnerships due to shortfalls in their cash flows or required debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the Managing General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Unpaid interest obligations on the eleven refunded bonds and the Parity Working Capital Loans and interest thereon (both as of the refunding date), were preserved through conversion to demand notes (the "Notes") in equivalent principal amounts. The Notes bear interest and are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. To the extent the operating partnerships have available cash flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly.
The Notes and the Series B Bonds are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Bonds and can only be paid from available cash flow. Payments of principal and interest on the Notes and the Series B Bonds are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes; (ii) principal payments due on the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Bonds; and (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Bonds due January 2030.
The Partnership will continue to report Series I and Series II separately after the financing transaction with each Series having an interest in the joint investment pool. Income generated from the additional proceeds will be allocated approximately 60.1% and 39.9% to Series I and Series II, respectively. Such percentages are based on the face amount of the Series A Bonds related to the refunded bonds of each respective Series.
It was anticipated that the original Partnership investment portfolio would be held for 14 years after the purchase date for each bond. As discussed in previous reports, because of the loss in value of a number of assets in the portfolio, full recovery of invested proceeds in these bonds, as required by the original bond indentures, is not likely to be accomplished by year 14. Therefore, the holding period would have to be extended to realize par recovery for these bonds.
The bonds which were refunded and pledged to permit the raising of the $67.7 million are most of the bonds which would have had to have been extended in order to fully recover principal. The Managing General Partner anticipates the sale of these refunded bonds could happen earlier than would have been the case without this transaction. Although no assurances can be given at this time as to exactly when value will warrant disposition, the bonds can be liquidated when it is in the best interest of BAC Holders to do so. The Managing General Partner continues to anticipate liquidating the bonds of the unpledged portfolio by the end of the originally intended 14 year holding period.
It is the belief of the Managing General Partner that an expanded portfolio and growth in cash flow and distributions to BAC Holders should result in improved value of the BACs when trades are made on the secondary market. Moreover, the Managing General Partner is exploring alternatives to increase the liquidity of the investments made by the BAC Holders.
The Managing General Partner or its affiliates have not received nor will they receive any fees for having raised the $67.7 million. Depending on subsequent events, however, the Managing General Partner may earn additional compensation for performing other services for the Partnership. Although the Managing General Partner believes that acquiring the additional proceeds will result in the benefits described above, as with any investment involving income producing real estate, no assurances can be given as to what the returns will be over time.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership's capital remains invested in 23 mortgage revenue bonds and related working capital loans. Of these investments, 14 (totalling $178,042,500) were acquired with Series I proceeds while nine (totalling $86,255,000) were acquired with Series II proceeds. To the extent that offering proceeds exceeded organization and offering expenses and initial project investments, the Managing General Partner created Partnership working capital reserves.
The Series I and Series II working capital reserves, as a result of supplementing distributions to BAC Holders and providing additional working capital loans to the properties, were exhausted during 1992 and 1994, respectively. During 1992, reserves of approximately $300,000 were used to pay distributions declared in excess of the cash generated by Series I operations. Series II reserves of approximately $300,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000 were used during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, to pay distributions declared in excess of the cash generated by operations.
Distributions are affected by the Partnership's ability to collect base and contingent interest from the cash flow of the properties securing the mortgage revenue bonds and the ability of the Managing General Partner to control operating expenses. Cash collected by the Partnership does not necessarily reflect property operating results to the extent that debt service can be paid from property reserves and/or guarantees. Similarly, some of the cash generated by property operations may not be available to pay debt service as it may have been utilized for capital expenditures, escrows or prepaid expenses. It should be noted that as available debt service payments from secondary sources such as property reserves, guarantors and others decrease, the level of debt service collected by the Partnership will more closely approximate property performance.
On December 31, 1994, the Managing General Partner declared semi-annual distributions of $25.00 and $27.50 per BAC in Series I and Series II, respectively. These amounts, which were paid on February 10, 1995, represent an annualized primarily tax-exempt distribution rate of 5.00% in Series I and 5.50% in Series II. The distribution rates in Series I remained unchanged from the previous four semi-annual distributions. In Series II, the distribution rate was consistent with the distribution at June 30, 1994, however, it represents a decrease of .50% as compared to the December 31, 1993 distribution. The decrease is due to both the decrease in the amount of property level reserves and Partnership working capital reserves available to supplement the distribution and the increase in costs associated with the transfer of Hamilton Chase (see discussion of Hamilton Chase in Results of Operations below).
At December 31, 1994, the Partnership's liquid assets approximated $5,240,000 in Series I and $2,615,000 in Series II. These funds primarily consist of undistributed funds generated from operations during the second half of 1994.
Results of Operations
For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, Series I properties paid $11,648,000, $10,944,000 and $10,690,000, respectively, of interest to the Partnership. Of the above amounts, $11,117,000, $10,614,000 and $9,622,000, respectively, were generated from property operations. For those same periods, Series II properties paid $5,798,000, $5,558,000 and $5,297,000, respectively, of interest to the Partnership. Of the above amounts, $5,503,000, $5,268,000 and $4,856,000, respectively, were generated from property operations. The differences between interest paid and cash generated from operations are due to payments from property level reserves and guarantees. The table, in Item 1. Business - Investment Summary Series I and Series II, at the beginning of this report should be referenced for more information regarding the specific property interest payment information.
Partnership operating expenses for 1994 have increased from 1993 by approximately $620,000 in Series I and $542,000 in Series II. Both Series' increases reflect the cost of efforts to pursue the raising of the additional proceeds (see discussion in Subsequent Event above). For 1994, Series I incurred approximately $630,000 in legal expenses related to the financing transaction as compared to $93,000 in 1993. Also, salary expenses increased by approximately $112,000 primarily due to an increase in employee time incurred working on the financing transaction. Similarly in Series II, approximately $413,000 was spent on legal expenses related to the financing transaction in 1994 as compared to $35,000 in 1993 while salary expenses increased by approximately $54,000 primarily due to increased employee time spent on the financing transaction. Additionally, Series II incurred approximately $100,000 in expenses related to the transfer of Hamilton Chase (see discussion of Hamilton Chase below).
The lingering effect of adverse market conditions continues to impact the revenue stream of many of the properties in each Series. Accordingly, during 1994, 14 properties (nine from Series I and five from Series II) were unable to pay full base interest. However, Barkley Place (Series I) and The Meadows (Series II) have begun to repay their delinquent base interest. Cash flows from all properties have been insufficient to support the payment of contingent interest during 1994.
When base interest payments cannot be fully satisfied by an original borrower through property level cash flow, reserves or guarantee payments, the Managing General Partner evaluates various courses of action, including sale, refinancing, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or foreclosure. As discussed in previous reports, in cases where there have been monetary defaults in the payment of full base interest, the properties collateralizing the mortgage revenue bonds have been or are expected to be transferred by foreclosure or deed-in- lieu of foreclosure to "New Borrowers." These New Borrowers are partnerships whose general partner is SCA Successor, Inc., a corporation which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner.
In 1994, the Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan ("FAS 114"). The provisions of FAS 114 require a creditor to base its measure of loan impairment on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. A valuation allowance is provided to record the loan impairment with a corresponding charge to net income. Prior to the adoption of FAS 114, the Partnership reclassified investments in mortgage revenue bonds to investments in real estate partnerships whenever it became apparent that the underlying properties were unable to continue to support their entire debt service obligation, and that the other sources of debt service, including property level reserves and operating deficit guarantees, were considered insufficient to meet mortgage loan obligations. After the adoption of FAS 114, mortgage revenue bonds are not reclassified to investments in real estate partnerships until the deed to the properties collateralizing the mortgage revenue bonds has been transferred to New Borrowers. Once reclassified to investment in real estate partnerships, the investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Interest collected from investment in real estate partnerships is recorded not as interest income, but as a distribution which decreases the investment's carrying value. Consequently, for financial reporting purposes, as reclassifications occur, there is a corresponding decrease in interest income from investments in mortgage revenue bonds and working capital loans. Further, income is recorded by the Partnership as "Equity in property net income" and the carrying value of the investment in real estate partnerships is adjusted as income or loss (after depreciation) is recognized by the properties. This accounting treatment is for financial reporting purposes only and is not used to determine the income reported for federal income tax purposes, the amount of distributions to investors or the Managing General Partner's intentions related to other matters including ongoing legal actions, if any.
As of December 31, 1994, nine Series I properties and six Series II properties which secure mortgage revenue bonds and working capital loans totalling $132,500,000 and $55,815,000, respectively, were classified as investments in real estate partnerships. As of December 31, 1994, the carrying values of these investments in real estate partnerships, net of accumulated depreciation and valuation adjustments, approximated $104,709,000 for Series I and $47,981,000 for Series II. During the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, $9,450,000 and $11,759,000, respectively, of Series I investments in mortgage revenue bonds were reclassified to investments in real estate partnerships. During the year ended December 31, 1993, $13,975,000 of Series II investments in mortgage revenue bonds were reclassified to investments in real estate partnerships. No Series I or Series II investments in mortgage revenue bonds were reclassified during 1994.
As of December 31, 1994 all of the investments in real estate in both Series I and Series II had been transferred to New Borrowers. These transfers were accomplished either through the Managing General Partner's acceptance of deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise settled by SCA Successor, Inc. replacing the original managing general partner of the original borrowing partnership.
In response to a 1991 Supreme Court case, the IRS issued proposed regulations in connection with the modification or implied modification of debt instruments. If the proposed regulations are adopted in their present form, they would alter existing authority, and limit the type and extent of modifications and implied modifications that could be made by a bond owner/lender without adversely affecting the tax-exempt status of the bond. It is not clear at this time what effect the proposed regulations may have on the Partnership with respect to bonds secured by properties transferred to New Borrowers, as some of the terms of the transfers could be viewed by the IRS under the proposed regulations as implied modifications to the bonds. However, the IRS has stated that the regulations will apply only to modifications or implied modifications made on or after thirty days from the publication of the final regulations in the Federal Register. As of March 30, 1995, the regulations had not appeared in their final form in the Federal Register. The Managing General Partner will continue in its efforts to protect the tax-exempt status of the bonds and the interest thereon; however, there can be no assurances the Managing General Partner will be successful in its efforts.
The Managing General Partner monitors all of the properties in both Series of the Partnership. In addition, the Managing General Partner periodically assesses the estimated net realizable value and fair value of the properties to determine whether valuation adjustments are necessary due to, among other factors, a change in market conditions or the physical condition of the properties. In 1994, a valuation adjustment of $1,430,000 was made to the investment in Lakeview Gardens bond, a Series I investment (See discussion of Lakeview Gardens below). The Managing General Partner will continue to evaluate the need for valuation adjustments in the future as circumstances change.
The following is a discussion of events which affect the properties that collateralize the Partnership's investments. With the exception of Lakeview Gardens, which continues to be classified as an investment in mortgage revenue bonds under the provisions of FAS 114, the discussion relates to investments in real estate partnerships.
Series I
Creekside Village: As a culmination of the workout negotiations initiated by the Managing General Partner during 1993, the transfer of Creekside Village was executed on February 9, 1994. Thus, the New Borrower assumed the mortgage.
Lakeview Gardens: During 1993, the greater Miami apartment market and, particularly, the submarket in which Lakeview is located were stimulated by Hurricane Andrew as displaced people, especially homeowners and out-of-town or out-of -state construction workers, took temporary residence in apartments. Vacant apartments were hard to find and rents, which had been growing only slowly, increased very rapidly. By 1994, most apartments and homes had been restored, homeowners had returned to their residences and the temporary workers had left the region, simultaneously creating an increase in apartment supply and a decrease in apartment demand. These factors plus an upsurge in apartment construction contributed to an increase in the apartment vacancy rate, flat or declining rents and an increase in rental concessions in the region and at Lakeview. Because of Lakeview's decline in operating revenues, property level reserves had to be drawn at a faster than anticipated rate to cover monthly shortfalls in base interest. In November of 1994, the property level reserves on Lakeview Gardens were exhausted, and the original borrower refused to fund the operating deficits of the property. The Managing General Partner, in anticipation of the pending default, initiated workout discussions with the original borrower. In December 1994, an agreement was reached with the borrower whereby the deed would be transferred to a New Borrower in lieu of foreclosure. The transfer of the deed is expected to occur in April 1995.
North Pointe (formerly Shandin Hills): As discussed in previous reports, a settlement agreement was signed on November 23, 1992 whereby Shelter Canada and Winnipeg Financial and Management, Inc., the third party guarantors, are to perform fully under the terms of the limited operating deficit guarantee. During 1994, scheduled payments totalling $119,000 were received by the Partnership as payment in accordance with the settlement agreement. In addition, the settlement agreement provides for the accrual of interest compounded quarterly on the unpaid balance.
Willowgreen: As a culmination of the workout negotiations initiated by the Managing General Partner during 1993, the transfer of Willowgreen was executed on November 21, 1994. Thus, the New Borrower assumed the mortgage.
Series II
Hamilton Chase: On June 13, 1994, workout negotiations were completed and the New Borrower assumed the role of the General Partner in the original borrowing partnership.
During 1994, the Managing General Partner spent approximately $100,000 in legal expenses related to the transfer of the property. Additionally, upon the transfer of the property, the New Borrower determined that approximately $150,000 needed to be spent on physical improvements. As of December 31, 1994, approximately $25,000 of these repairs had been completed. The remaining repairs will be funded by property operations and are to be completed by the Summer of 1995.
Whispering Lake: As discussed in previous reports, a settlement agreement was signed on November 23, 1992 whereby Shelter Canada, the third party guarantor, is to perform fully under the terms of the limited operating deficit guarantee. During 1994, scheduled payments totalling $168,000 were received by the Partnership as payment in accordance with the settlement agreement. In addition, the settlement agreement provides for the accrual of interest on the unpaid balance compounded quarterly.

ITEM 13.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Transactions with management and others:
Since the Partnership is a limited partnership, it has no directors or officers. In addition, the registrant has had no transactions with individual officers or directors of the Managing General Partner other than any indirect interest such officers and directors may have in the compensation paid to the Managing General Partner, or its affiliates by virtue of (i) their indirect stock ownership in the Managing General Partner, (ii) their ownership in 177061 Canada Ltd. ("Shelter Canada"), formerly Shelter Corporation of Canada Limited Partnership , a stockholder of the Managing General Partner, or (iii) their partnership interests in SCA Associates 86-II Limited Partnership, a limited partner of the Associate General Partner. Item 11 of this report which contains a discussion of the amounts and times fees and other compensation are paid or accrued by the Partnership to the General Partners or their affiliates is incorporated herein by reference.
As a result of defaults under the terms of the loan agreements by the original borrowing partnerships, the Managing General Partner negotiated transfers of ownership of certain properties underlying the Partnership's investments in mortgage revenue bonds to "New Borrowers" (which are partnerships controlled by SCA Successor, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) for Barkley Place, The Montclair, Newport Village, Nicollet Ridge, Newport-On-Seven, North Pointe (formerly Shandin Hills), Mallard Cove I, Mallard Cove II, Gilman Meadows, The Meadows, Whispering Lake, Steeplechase, Creekside, Hamilton Chase and Willowgreen. Effective January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc. withdrew as General Partner and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. for the following partnerships: Barkley Place, The Montclair, Newport Village, Nicollet Ridge, Mallard Cove I, Mallard Cove II, Gilman Meadows, The Meadows, Whispering Lake, Steeplechase, Creekside, and Hamilton Chase.
Shelter Canada, was, prior to the time the Partnership acquired the Whispering Lake Apartments, the Meadows Apartments, and North Pointe mortgage revenue bonds, either a limited or general partner of the developer partnership for those projects. Prior to the time the Partnership acquired these mortgage revenue bonds, Shelter Canada withdrew from the respective developer partnerships in return for contingent purchase payments for its interest, payable from certain revenue of the borrower. These revenues included a portion of the developers' overhead allowance funded out of proceeds of the mortgage revenue bonds to the extent such funds remain unused for cost overruns or other obligations of the borrower upon completion of construction and the achieving of sustaining occupancy. Payments to Shelter Canada are fully subordinated to all payments to the Partnership.
In addition, Shelter Canada was contractually obligated to nonaffiliated borrowers of North Pointe and Whispering Lakes to fund operating deficits under guarantees totalling $1,292,500 and $1,819,000, respectively. The Managing General Partner entered into workout negotiations with the guarantor and respective borrowers of these properties as the guarantor had indicated its inability at this time to fully fund operating deficits. These negotiations resulted in a settlement agreement which provides for the payment of $1,215,143 plus interest under the guarantee obligations over a five year period.
(b) Certain business relationships:
The Partnership's response to Item 13(a) is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the Partnership has no business relationship with entities of which the directors of the Managing General Partnership are officers, directors or ten percent equity owners other than as set forth in the Partnership's response to Item 13(a).
(c) Indebtedness of management:
None.
(d) Transactions with promoters:
None.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Price Waterhouse LLP
To The Partners of SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership:
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets (including the proforma balance sheets as of December 31, 1994) and the related statements of income, of cash flows and of changes in partners' capital present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), Series I and Series II, at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
As described more fully in Note 7, on February 14, 1995, the Partnership consummated a financing transaction. The proforma balance sheets reflect the effect of this transaction on the Partnership's financial position had the transaction occurred on December 31, 1994.

SCA TAX EXEMPT FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (SERIES I AND SERIES II)
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership (the Partnership), was organized on January 10, 1986, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the purpose of investing in a portfolio of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds (the bonds) issued by various state or local governments or their agencies or authorities, and secured by nonrecourse participating first mortgage loans on real estate projects. The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2036, or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. SCA Realty I, Inc. is the .1% Managing General Partner and SCA Associates 86 Limited Partnership is the .99% Associate General Partner (collectively, the "General Partners").
The Partnership is segregated into two distinct pools of investments, Series I and Series II, which resulted from two offerings of Beneficial Assignee Certificates ("BACs"). A total of 200,000 BACs in Series I and 96,256 BACs in Series II were issued at a stated value of $1,000 each. BACs represent the assignment of limited partnership interests in the Partnership.
Cash flow, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, is distributable and net income is allocable 1% to the Partnership's general partnership interests and 99% to its limited partnership interests until the BAC holders have received an 8.5% non-cumulative return on their adjusted capital contribution as defined. Thereafter, cash flow is distributable and income is allocable based on varying percentages as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership is not, however, precluded from making distributions to BAC holders in excess of annual cash flow. The Partnership is required to pay distributions declared within 45 days following the end of each six-month period of the calendar year. Proceeds from sale, repayment or liquidation, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, are distributable substantially in the same manner as other cash flow, after repayment of the partners' adjusted capital contributions.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of investments in money market mutual funds and short-term marketable securities which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash in seven days or less. In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("Statement No. 115"). Statement No. 115 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993, with earlier adoption permitted. The Partnership adopted Statement No. 115 in 1994; there was no cumulative effect and no effect in the current year. The Partnership, through its joint investment pool, has invested in various short-term investments. These investments are classified as trading securities and are recorded at fair value in accordance with Statement No. 115 in the proforma information described in Note 7.
Investments in Mortgage Revenue Bonds and Parity Working Capital Loans
Investments in mortgage revenue bonds and parity working capital loans are carried at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Estimated net realizable value is based upon the anticipated net sale or refinancing proceeds. The Managing General Partner periodically evaluates the carrying values of investments in mortgage revenue bonds and working capital loans. In 1994, the Partnership adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("FAS 114"). FAS 114 amends FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," to clarify that a creditor should evaluate the collectibility of both interest and principal receivable when assessing the need for a loss provision. FASB Statement No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings" was also amended to require a creditor to measure all loans that are restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms. Accordingly, the provisions of FAS 114 require a creditor to base its measure of loan impairment on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. A valuation allowance is provided to record the loan impairment with a corresponding charge to net income. There was no cumulative effect and no effect in the current year except for the classification of Lakeview Gardens discussed in Note 3.
The Partnership recognizes interest income on both the bonds and the loans at rates negotiated at the time such investments were made. Interest recognized on the bonds is exempt for federal income tax purposes while interest on the working capital loans is taxable to the partners. Base interest on the bonds and the parity working capital loans is recognized as revenue as it accrues; contingent interest is recognized as property performance meets the criteria for payment. Although no debt service obligations have been forgiven, delinquent bonds and parity working capital loans are placed on nonaccrual status for financial reporting purposes when collection of interest is in doubt. Interest payments on nonaccrual loans are applied first to previously recorded accrued interest and then recognized as income when received. The accrual of interest income is reinstated once a property's ability to perform is adequately demonstrated.
Investments in Real Estate Partnerships
Prior to the adoption of FAS 114, the Partnership reclassified investments in mortgage revenue bonds to investments in real estate partnerships whenever it became apparent that the underlying properties were unable to continue to support their entire debt service obligation, and that the other sources of debt service, including property level reserves and operating deficit guarantees, were considered insufficient to meet mortgage loan obligations. After the adoption of FAS 114, mortgage revenue bonds are not reclassified to investments in real estate partnerships until the deed to the properties collateralizing the mortgage revenue bonds has been transferred to New Borrowers. Once reclassified to investment in real estate partnerships, the investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Subsequent to deed transfer, valuation adjustments are recorded for investments in real estate partnerships if the carrying values exceed estimated net sale or refinancing proceeds. The carrying value of these investments is increased or decreased, and income or loss is recognized, for the Partnership's share of the underlying property's income or loss. Interest collected from investment in real estate partnerships is recorded not as interest income, but as a distribution which decreases the investment's carrying value.
Earnings per BAC
Earnings per BAC have been calculated based on 200,000 and 96,256 BACs outstanding for the three years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 for Series I and Series II, respectively.
Income Taxes
No recognition has been given to income taxes in the accompanying financial statements as the distributive share of the Partnership's income, deductions and credits is included in each partner's income tax returns. The Managing General Partner believes that the Partnership is not subject to income taxes. The tax basis of the Partnership's net assets exceeds the carrying value for book purposes of approximately $48.3 million and $12.6 million for Series I and Series II, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in 1993 and 1992 have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGE REVENUE BONDS AND PARITY WORKING CAPITAL LOANS
As of December 31, 1994, Series I held 14 mortgage revenue bonds. Five of the bonds are treated as investments in mortgage revenue bonds and have a carrying value of $43,177,900, net of a valuation allowance of $1,430,000. Series II held nine mortgage revenue bonds at December 31, 1994, three of which are treated as investments in mortgage revenue bonds aggregating $29,624,600. The remaining Series I and Series II mortgage revenue bonds are treated as investments in real estate partnerships as required by generally accepted accounting principles (see also Note 4).
General Mortgage Loan Terms
The proceeds from the issuance of the bonds were used to make nonrecourse participating first mortgage loans on multi-family housing developments. The Partnership's rights under the mortgage revenue bonds are defined by and dependent on the terms and conditions of the mortgage loans. The mortgage loans are assigned to the Partnership to secure the payment of principal and interest on the mortgage revenue bonds. This assignment includes an assignment of a first mortgage on the property and an assignment of rents. Additional collateral was provided in the form of property level operating reserves funded from construction period cash flow, and by operating deficit guarantees. Of the additional collateral originally provided, the property level operating reserves have been exhausted on all but four of the loans, and all but one of the operating deficit guarantees have expired.
The terms of the mortgage loans provide for the payment of base interest and additional contingent interest. In addition, they provide for the Partnership to hold the mortgage revenue bonds and the related mortgage loans for 14 years. Principal on the mortgage loans will not be amortized while held by the Partnership, but will be required to be repaid or refinanced in a lump sum payment at the end of the holding period or at such earlier time as the Partnership may require. The mortgage loans are nonassumable except with the consent of the Partnership. Prepayment is prohibited during the first seven years of the mortgage loan. Between years eight and eleven, the mortgage may be prepaid at the option of the borrower subject to a declining penalty. Prepayments after the twelfth year are allowed without regard to whether or not the mortgaged property is sold or refinanced.
The Partnership may also require prepayment of the mortgage loan upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the mortgage revenue bonds would be subject to federal income taxation.
The mortgage loans bear interest at base rates determined by arms length negotiations that reflect market conditions at the time the mortgage revenue bonds were purchased by the Partnership. Each loan provides for contingent interest in an amount equal to the difference between the stated base interest rate and 16%. During the construction period, each bond bore interest at base rates that were separately negotiated, and payment of any construction period contingent interest was deferred until the project is sold or refinanced. Contingent interest (other than contingent interest during the construction period) is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow until the Partnership's aggregate non-compounded interest rate equals the base interest rate plus 1.5% to 2.5% (first tier contingent interest), as the case may be, on each mortgage loan. Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the owner until the Partnership reaches its 16% per annum limit. To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the mortgaged property is sold or the mortgage loan is repaid. Sale or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the Partnership to the extent necessary for the Partnership to recover the base rate plus first tier contingent interest previously deferred; thereafter, 50% of any excess sale or repayment proceeds is paid to the Partnership until it reaches its 16% per annum limit. Accordingly, the ability of the Partnership to collect contingent interest on the mortgage revenue bonds is dependent upon the level of project cash flow and sale or repayment proceeds.
Descriptions of the various mortgage revenue bonds and working capital loans owned by the Partnership at December 31, 1994 are provided in the following table. In addition, the table provides the dates of in-substance foreclosure/reclassification for those mortgage revenue bonds and working capital loans that are classified as investments in real estate partnerships. See Note 4 for additional discussion of investments in real estate partnerships.
Interest income of approximately $488,000 in Series I was not recognized for the year ended December 31, 1992 because of bonds on nonaccrual status. During 1994 and 1993 there were no bonds in either series on nonaccrual status, and there were no Series II bonds on nonaccrual status during 1992.
During 1994, the property level reserves on Lakeview Gardens (Series I) were exhausted, and the original borrower refused to fund the operating deficits of the property. The Managing General Partner, in anticipation of the pending default, initiated workout discussions with the original borrower in the fourth quarter of 1994. The transfer of the deed is expected to take place in April 1995. As a result, the Partnership recorded a valuation adjustment of $1,430,000 on the Lakeview Gardens bond in the fourth quarter of 1994. No other adjustments were recorded to investments in mortgage revenue bonds during 1994. In 1993, a valuation adjustment of $1,200,000 was recorded on the Hamilton Chase bond (Series II). In 1992, a mortgage revenue bond valuation adjustment of $900,000 was recorded for Creekside Village, a Series I investment. These valuation adjustments do not affect the cash flow generated from property operations, the characterization of the tax- exempt income stream nor the financial obligations under the mortgage revenue bonds. The Managing General Partner will continue to evaluate the need for valuation allowances in the future as circumstances change.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIPS
The Partnership accounts for certain investments in mortgage revenue bonds as investments in real estate partnerships. This accounting treatment is for financial reporting purposes only and does not affect the income reported for federal income tax purposes, the amount of distributions to investors or the Managing General Partner's intentions related to other matters including ongoing legal actions, if any.
Properties classified as investments in real estate partnerships typically have been or are expected to be transferred by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure to "New Borrowers". These New Borrowers are partnerships whose general partner is SCA Successor, Inc., a corporation which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. In certain instances, instead of the formal transfer of the property to a New Borrower, SCA Successor, Inc. has been designated as the general partner of the original borrowing entity.
The Partnership continues to share in earnings of properties treated as investments in real estate partnerships in accordance with the original terms of the mortgage loans collateralizing the mortgage revenue bonds. For those properties owned by partnerships controlled by SCA Successor, Inc., although the Partnership has not waived default, the Managing General Partner has no plans or intentions to accelerate the maturity of the mortgage loans. In addition, the Partnership is responsible for the post-transfer operating deficits of New Borrowers. No operating deficits were funded for the three years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.
The Managing General Partner has taken the position that these transactions do not affect the tax-exempt nature of the income received by the Partnership on any of the loans, nor does it change the character of the Partnership's income for tax purposes. This position is consistent with industry practice, and the Managing General Partner is not aware of any contrary rulings. As with all federal income tax matters, the Internal Revenue Service may choose to review and rule on the subject at a later date.
For investments accounted for as investments in real estate partnerships, Series I recognized operating income of approximately $4,890,000, $4,117,000 and $3,474,000 and collected approximately $8,152,000, $6,862,000 and $5,792,000 in interest payments for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. For those same periods, Series II recognized operating income of approximately $2,007,000, $1,068,000 and $965,000 and collected approximately $3,443,000, $2,238,000 and $1,790,000 in interest payments, respectively.
During 1994, no valuation adjustments were made to investments in real estate partnerships. In 1993, valuation adjustments were recorded for North Pointe ($4,600,000), (formerly Shandin Hills), a Series I property and for Mallard Cove I ($250,000), a Series II property. The Partnership recorded valuation adjustments in 1992 for three properties, Newport on Seven ($1,750,000) and Nicollet Ridge ($3,700,000) in Series I and Whispering Lake ($450,000) in Series II.
Summarized Financial Information Combined unaudited financial information for the investments in real estate partnerships are presented below. This summary includes the results of operations of the properties subsequent to their respective effective dates for reclassification to investments in real estate partnerships. In Series I, the combined results of operations includes nine properties for 1994, eight for 1993 and eight for 1992 while in Series II it includes six, five and five for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The table in Note 3 should be referenced for the effective dates of reclassification.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Managing General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for all costs and expenses paid by them on behalf of the Partnership for administrative services necessary for the prudent operation of the Partnership. The Partnership does not employ any personnel. All staff required by the Partnership are employees of the Managing General Partner or its affiliates which receive direct reim-
bursement from the Partnership for all costs related to such personnel including payroll taxes, workers' compensation and health insurance and other fringe benefits, as summarized in the table below.
The accompanying balance sheets include amounts payable to the Managing General Partner and its affiliates at December 31 as follows:
1994 1993 --------- -------- Series I $63,845 $16,051 Series II $30,662 $ 7,291
As previously detailed in the Partnership's Prospectus, affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive fees for mortgage servicing from the limited partnerships owning the mortgaged properties. With respect to the investments in real estate partnerships (See Note 4), the payment of these fees has continued after the reclassification from investments in mortgage revenue bonds, since the bonds are still owned by the Partnership and there has been no modification of the individual loan terms. The fees paid by all borrowing partnerships approximated $1,479,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 irrespective of any ownership changes in the underlying partnership.
As a result of their general partnership interests, the General Partners are entitled to an allocation of the Fund's profits, losses and cash distributions as specified in the Partnership Agreement. As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership declared its cash distributions for the six months then ended to the General Partners of Series I and Series II in the amounts of $44,283 and $21,591, respectively. These amounts represent the General Partners' portion of the $5,044,283 and $2,668,631 semi-annual distributions in Series I and Series II declared at December 31, 1994.
The operating expenses for various properties accounted for as investments in real estate partnerships include property management fees paid to affiliates of the Managing General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, these fees approximated $707,000 for 10 properties, $539,000 for 8 properties and $785,000 for 11 properties, respectively.
In addition, 177061 Canada Ltd. (formerly Shelter Corporation of Canada Limited Partnership), a general partner of the Associate General Partner, is contractually obligated to the nonaffiliated borrowers of North Pointe (formerly Shandin Hills) and Whispering Lake to fund operating deficits under guarantees. The unpaid balances due under the limited operating deficit guarantees, including accrued interest as of December 31, 1994, totalled $276,000 and $387,000 for North Pointe and Whispering Lake, respectively. Scheduled payments totalling $119,000 and $115,000 were received on the North Pointe obligation during 1994 and 1993, respectively. Under the Whispering Lake obligation, $168,000 and $163,000 were received during 1994 and 1993, respectively.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
As discussed in previous reports, the Managing General Partner has continued to pursue actively a means to provide BAC Holders with additional current income while enhancing investment value with a prudent level of risk. On February 14, 1995, the Partnership consummated a financing transaction which the Managing General Partner believes can achieve these goals.
Additional proceeds were raised through the offering of $67,700,000 in aggregate principal amount of Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Bond Receipts, (collectively, the "Receipts"). The Receipts are collateralized by a pool of eleven of the original mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership. These eleven bonds all relate to properties that defaulted on their original debt obligation. The cash stream from one additional property, Creekside Village ("Creekside"), which also defaulted on its original debt obligation, has been pledged as further security for the transaction. These bonds, including Creekside, are currently classified as investments in real estate and the operating partnerships for the underlying properties that collateralize the bonds were controlled by SCA Successor, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. On January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the General Partner of these operating partnerships, withdrew and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, as sole General Partner. The other bonds in the Partnership are unaffected. The specific bonds are as follows:
SCA TAX EXEMPT FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP MORTGAGE REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS
As stated above, eleven bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of $126,590,000, were refunded by the issuers of such bonds. As a result, a Series A Bond and a Series B Bond (whose aggregate principal amount equals that of the original bonds) were exchanged for each of the original bonds. The aggregate principal amount of the Series A Bonds and Series B Bonds is $67,700,000 and $58,890,000, respectively. Each Series B Bond is subordinate to the related issue of Series A Bonds. In addition, the maturity date for each bond has been extended as part of the refunding to January 2030.
The Series A Bonds bear interest at various fixed rates per annum, as detailed on the schedule above, and are due and payable monthly. The Series A Bonds are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemptions commencing January 1, 2001 and continuing through maturity.
The Series B Bonds bear interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of available cash flow not exceeding 16% per annum. Principal on the Series B Bonds will not be amortized, but will be required to be repaid or refinanced in a lump sum payment at maturity, January 2030. To the extent the operating partnerships have available cash flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly.
The Partnership deposited each of the Series A Bonds and Series B Bonds with the SCA Tax Exempt Trust (the "Trust") which was created to hold these assets. A Certificate of Participation in the corpus and the income of the Trust was issued representing interests in the two series of bonds. The Partnership is the sole holder of the Certificate of Participation.
The Series A Bonds were then deposited by the Trust with a custodian and the additional proceeds were raised through the sale of Receipts in the Series A Bonds to new investors. The Receipts are credit enhanced by Financial Security Assurance Inc. ("FSA") and are rated AAA and Aaa by Standard and Poors and Moody's, respectively.
The Receipt holders have a fixed interest rate and preferred return position so that a guaranteed, preferred, fixed rate tax exempt return will be paid from the interest collected on the Series A Bonds. The operating partnerships entered into an interest rate swap agreement whereby a portion of the fixed interest rate under the Series A Bonds was swapped for a floating tax exempt interest rate. This mechanism will allow the Partnership to realize the potential benefit of traditionally lower interest rates. Under this interest rate swap, the operating partnerships are obligated to pay a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax exempt variable rate issues. Also, an interest rate cap was purchased by the operating partnerships to limit their exposure resulting from the floating tax exempt interest rate obligation.
In order to obtain credit enhancement and an investment grade rating of the Receipts, the Partnership was required to pledge the eleven bonds, as well as the cash stream from the eleven properties collateralizing the bonds to FSA. In addition, the cash stream from Creekside has been pledged to FSA as further security. Any cash in excess of the amount needed to pay interest on the Receipts is then paid for the benefit of BAC Holders. The cash flow generated on assets acquired with the new proceeds, as discussed below, and any net proceeds received under the swap agreement also will be for the benefit of BAC Holders. These cash streams are not pledged to the new investors.
In return for the sale of Receipts in the Series A Bonds, the Trust, for the benefit of the Partnership, received $67.7 million from the custodian. The proceeds from the sale of the Receipts have been invested in MLP III Investment Limited Partnership ("MLP III"), a Maryland limited partnership. MLP III is owned by the Partnership through a 99% general partner interest and SCA Limited Partner Corporation, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, through a one percent (1%) limited partner interest. MLP III invested the net proceeds from the sale of the Receipts, approximately $56.8 million, in MLP II Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLP II"), a Maryland limited partnership. MLP II is owned by MLP III through a 98.99% limited partner interest (40% annual profits and distributions interest), MLP I LLC ("MLP I"), a Maryland limited liability company, through a one percent (1%) general partner interest (60% annual profits and distributions interest) and SCA Limited Partner Corp., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, through a .01% limited partner interest. MLP I is owned collectively by the operating partnerships. MLP III and MLP II are both affiliates of the Managing General Partner. The net proceeds held by MLP II are currently invested in various short-term investments; the Managing General Partner expects that they will be invested in additional mortgage revenue bonds that finance multi-family properties. The cash stream from these investments will benefit BAC Holders in the form of additional tax exempt or tax deferred distributions. Approximately $10.9 million was used to finance transaction costs, Partnership reserves and the interest rate cap.
As part of the financing transaction, the operating partnerships entered into a cross-collateralization agreement among themselves. This cross-collateralization agreement may result in the operating partnerships being obligated under the Series A Bond obligations of the other operating partnerships due to shortfalls in their cash flows or required debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the Managing General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Unpaid accrued base interest receivable, on the eleven original bonds, of approximately $15.5 million, and the Parity Working Capital Loans, and interest thereon, of approximately $4.8 million, were converted to Accrued Interest Notes and Working Capital Notes, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Partnership contributed the Accrued Interest Notes and Working Capital Notes to MLP III who contributed them, in turn, to MLP II. In addition, MLP II loaned the operating partnerships approximately $4.2 million (the "Load Loan Notes") to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the operating partnerships' obligation under the floating rate obligations discussed above. The Accrued Interest Notes, Working Capital Notes and Load Loan Notes, (collectively the "Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $24.5 million, are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the operating partnerships have available cash flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly.
The Notes and the Series B Bonds (collectively the "Junior Obligations") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Bonds and payable only to the extent of cash flow. Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Obligations are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due to MLP II on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) principal payments due to MLP II on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due to Trust on the Series B Bonds; and (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Bonds due January 2030.
The Partnership will continue to report Series I and Series II separately after the financing transaction with each Series having an interest in the joint investment pool as described below. Income generated from the additional proceeds will be allocated approximately 60.1% to Series I and approximately 39.9% to Series II. Such percentages are based on the face amount of the Series A Bonds related to the refunded bonds of each respective Series.
The proforma balance sheets for Series I and Series II include the results of the financing transaction as if it had occurred on December 31, 1994. The proforma adjustments are summarized as follows:
(a) Cash and cash equivalents. Represents amounts transferred to the Partnership from the additional proceeds to fund additional working capital reserves of approximately $2.6 million and $1.7 million for Series I and Series II, respectively.
(b) Investments in real estate partnerships. Represents the carrying value at December 31, 1994, which the Managing General Partner believes approximates the carrying value at February 14, 1995, of the original eleven bonds refunded as part of the financing transaction of approximately $57.6 million and $48 million for Series I and Series II, respectively.
(c) Joint investment pool. Represents the interest in the investments jointly held by Series I and Series II after the financing transaction of approximately $54.6 million and $46.1 million, respectively.
(d) Other assets. In connection with the financing transaction, approximately $4.5 million of costs were incurred. As of December 31, 1994, approximately $1 million was expensed and approximately $1.1 million was capitalized. In the first quarter of 1995, approximately $1.7 million was expensed and approximately $.7 million was capitalized. Capitalized costs include organizational costs, debt issue costs and costs associated with obtaining the credit enhancement. All capitalized costs have been included in the joint investment pool after the financing transaction was consummated.
As discussed above, the joint investment pool is summarized on a proforma basis as follows:
ASSETS Short-term investments $ 56,761,654 Notes receivable from operating partnerships 24,496,201 Investments in real estate partnerships 85,323,641 Other assets 1,790,097 ------------- TOTAL ASSETS $168,371,593 ============= LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

BARKLEY PLACE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Barkley Place Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed July 1, 1988, for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. The Partners are SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, and Mark K. Joseph, President of SCA Realty I, Inc., Garrett G. Carlson and Lount Corporation, the 99% Limited Partners. All operating profits and losses are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of September 8, 1988, the Partnership entered into a Transfer Agreement with Heritage House of Ft. Myers ("Predecessor"), and the Housing Finance Authority of Lee County, Florida, whereby the title to the Barkley Place, a 156-unit senior living community located in Ft. Myers, Florida, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Transfer Agreement, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessor's rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessor's obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loans and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement.
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note and parity working capital loan) $ 9,130,000 ============ Assets at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 8,026,660 Other assets 1,103,340 ------------ $ 9,130,000 ============
Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $8,830,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in May 2011. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after September 8, 1995. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 8%. Commencing on May 29, 1989, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.25% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.25%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $300,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 ----------------------
Level 1 $1,146,956 $ 941,531 Level 2 2,931,109 2,406,134 ---------- ---------- $4,078,065 $3,347,665 ========== ==========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default. SCA provided the Partnership with an additional $500,000 loan on November 8, 1988. This loan carries an annual base interest rate of 8% simple interest. Interest expense charged to operations in both 1994 and 1993 on this loan was $40,000. This loan does not, however, carry any contingent interest provisions and can be paid back from project cash flows at any time prior to June 2011.
In addition, the Partnership realized operating deficits (exclusive of debt service) prior to 1992 and consequently required additional funding from SCA in the form of additional working capital loans. These loans totalled $452,347 and carry a rate of 8% simple interest which is payable to the extent that excess sale or refinancing proceeds exceed the sum of the aggregate principal and unpaid base interest on the original debt. To date, there has not been any accrual of interest on these loans. The $182,208 of unaccrued interest on these loans at December 31, 1994 is not included in the contingent interest amounts set forth above. These loans are due upon remarketing, redemption, or acceleration of the related outstanding bonds to the extent not previously called by SCA. The repayment of these loans and any interest thereon is subordinate to the base interest outstanding on both original loans and the $500,000 SCA loan.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $882,214 and $820,884, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The property is managed by Shelter Properties, Inc. ("Shelter"), an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA, pursuant to a management agreement. Management fees paid to Shelter for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $139,128 and $129,953, respectively.
Under the terms of the Mortgage Note and the $300,000 Parity Working Capital Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Note and the $300,000 Parity Working Capital Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $68,475.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with the Housing Finance Authority of Lee County, Florida. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the current General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $8,830,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $5,350,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $3,480,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"). The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest on tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.05% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid accrued base interest on the Old Debt, $1,234,819, and the Parity Working Capital Loan and interest thereon, $1,364,321, were converted to an Accrued Interest Note and a Working Capital Note, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $331,677, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLPII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; and (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030.
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.05% per annum interest rate was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $329,025 will be deferred and amortized over its life. The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received from the Counterparty. Net proceeds received, if any, under the interest swap are Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt obligations.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership purchased a .5% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA, for $200. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax-exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above. All distributions received from MLPI are classified as Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt Obligations.

CREEKSIDE VILLAGE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Creekside Village Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed July 20, 1993, for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. The Partnership had no operations until the date of acquisition described below. The Partners are SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, SCA Limited Partner Corporation and Mark K. Joseph, President of SCA Realty I, Inc., the 99% Limited Partners. All operating profits and losses are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of February 9, 1994, the Partnership entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with Creekside Ventures, Ltd. ("Predecessor"), and the County of Sacramento, California, whereby the title to the Creekside Village Apartments, a 296-unit apartment complex located in Sacramento, California, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Transfer Agreement, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessor's rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessor's obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement.
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition was accounted for as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note, parity working capital loan and interest payable) $ 12,100,000 ============= Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 11,932,359 Other assets 354,836 Other liabilities (187,195) ------------- $ 12,100,000 =============
Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
The Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon SCA's continued forbearance. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $11,760,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in November 2009. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after December 1, 1994. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 7.5%. Commencing on August 1, 1989, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.25% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.25%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $225,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest at December 31, 1994 is:
Level 1 $1,460,672 Level 2 4,057,423 ---------- $5,518,095 ==========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
The fair market value of all debt assumed at the date of acquisition (Note 1) was less than the aggregate legal obligation under such debt (including accrued interest) at that time by $1,038,042. Such difference is being accreted via charges to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Cash outflows from operating activities for the period ended December 31, 1994 include interest of $822,056.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership and its Predecessor are obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for the period ended December 31, 1994 were $82,400, which represents an allocation of the Partnership's share of the fees since date of acquisition.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with the County of Sacramento, California. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Cross Collateralization Agreement
The Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership received a 4.5% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA, in exchange for agreeing to collateralize the operating shortfalls, if any, of the Other Partnerships. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax- exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
March 15, 1995
To the Partners of Hamilton Grove Limited Partnership
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of operations, of partners' deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hamilton Grove Limited Partnership at December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
The financial statements of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 1993 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated March 4, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The report included an explanatory paragraph expressing doubt as to whether the Partnership would continue as a going concern based on the Partnership's net losses from operations and accumulated deficit. As discussed in Note 6, the Partnership's debt was restructured on February 14, 1995. Management believes that the Partnership will meet all debt service requirements under the terms of the new debt and, as a result, will continue as a going concern.

HAMILTON GROVE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Hamilton Grove Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed on August 14, 1986 for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. The Partnership owns and operates a 300 unit apartment complex located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Prior to February 28, 1994, the Partners were Venture Technology Properties, the 1% General Partner, Leonard, Kinsey & Associates, Ltd., Kenneth S. Hays, Jr., Henry L. Moise, John M. Law and L, K & A Associates, I & II, the 99% Limited Partners. Effective March 1, 1994, SCA Successor, Inc. replaced Venture Technology Properties as sole General Partner, and Venture Technology Properties became a Limited Partner. All operating profits and losses and distributions are to be allocated in accordance with the percentages as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Mortgage Loan Default
The Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") are in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method for buildings and improvements and double-declining balance for furniture and equipment. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 27.5 years for buildings and improvements and 7 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
Debt Issue Costs
Debt Issue Costs of $562,819 are being amortized over the life of the related debt of the Partnership.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $13,875,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in August 2006. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after March 1, 1994. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 8%. Commencing on December 1, 1988, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.25% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.25%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $100,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 -------------------------
Level 1 $1,912,827 $1,598,390 Level 2 4,888,336 4,084,773 ---------- ---------- $6,801,163 $5,683,163 ========== ==========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
Advances from Limited Partners of $544,135 and $499,415 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, are used to fund the Partnership's debt service short-falls. Certain of the advances bear interest at the lesser of the Prime Rate as established by the Bank of America or the cost of borrowing of the Partnership. All of the advances are subordinate to contingent interest on the Mortgage Loan. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, no interest has been accrued on these advances.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $781,113 and $947,971, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The property was managed by Leonard, Kinsey & Associates, Ltd., an affiliate of the Partnership, pursuant to a management agreement which was terminated in June 1994. Management fees paid to Leonard, Kinsey & Associates, Ltd. for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $39,279 and $98,144, respectively. For the remainder of 1994, the property was managed by Shelter Properties, Inc. ("Shelter"), an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA. Management fees paid to Shelter for the year ended December 31, 1994 were $30,610.
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $104,812.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with the Industrial Development Board of the County of Hamilton. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $13,875,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $7,625,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $6,250,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"); unamortized debt issue cost of $288,088 related to the Old Debt were written-off to operations as of that date. The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest on tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.35% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid accrued base interest on the Old Debt, $676,874, and the Parity Working Capital Loan and interest thereon, $104,909, were converted to an Accrued Interest Note and a Working Capital Note, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $475,633, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLPII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030; and (v) advances to Limited Partners.
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that these contingent obligations will ever be realized.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.35% per annum interest rate was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $468,938 will be deferred and amortized over its life. The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received from the Counterparty. Net proceeds received, if any, under the interest swap are Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt obligations.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership purchased a 8% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA, for $3,200. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax-exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above. All distributions received from MLPI are classified as Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt Obligations.

GILMAN MEADOWS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Gilman Meadows Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed January 22, 1992, for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. The Partners are SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, and Michael L. Falcone, Thomas R. Hobbs, Vice President of SCA Successor II, Inc., Garrett G. Carlson and Lynn Carlson-Schell, the 99% Limited Partners. All operating profits and losses are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of July 10, 1992, the Partnership entered into a Transfer Agreement with Axelrod Gilman Meadows Limited Partnership ("Predecessor"), and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission, whereby the title to the Gilman Meadows Apartments, a 125-unit apartment complex located in Issaquah, Washington, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Transfer Agreement, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessor's rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessor's obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement.
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note, parity working capital loan and interest payable) $ 7,512,667 ============ Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 7,465,728 Other assets 98,968 Other liabilities (52,029) ------------ $ 7,512,667 ============
Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $6,875,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in April 2007. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after March 1, 1994. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 8%. Commencing on March 1, 1988, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.25% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.25%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $225,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 ------------------------
Level 1 $ 1,091,093 $ 931,343 Level 2 2,788,348 2,380,098 ----------- ---------- $ 3,879,441 $3,311,441
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $528,020 and $416,125, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $48,813 and $53,250, respectively.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with the Washington State Housing Finance Commission. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the current General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $6,875,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $4,000,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $2,875,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"). The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest on tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.4% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid accrued base interest on the Old Debt, $651,185, and the Parity Working Capital Loan and interest thereon, $246,318, were converted to an Accrued Interest Note and a Working Capital Note, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $248,433, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLPII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined ). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; and (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030.
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in their cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.4% per annum interest rate was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $246,000 will be deferred and amortized over its life. The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received from the Counterparty. Net proceeds received, if any, under the interest swap are Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt obligations.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership purchased a 1.5% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA, for $600. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax-exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above. All distributions received from MLPI are classified as Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt Obligations.

MALLARD I LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Mallard I Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed on January 22, 1992 for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Partners were SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, and SCA Limited Partner Corporation, the 99% Limited Partner. Effective January 1, 1994, the Limited Partnership Agreement was amended whereby SCA Limited Partner Corporation transferred 40.5% and 7.5% interests to Mark K. Joseph, President, and Marilynn K. Duker, Vice President, of SCA Realty I, Inc., respectively. All operating profits and losses and distributions are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of July 9, 1992, the Partnership entered into a Transfer Agreement with Mallard Cove Associates I ("Predecessor") and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission, whereby the title to the 63 apartment units comprising Phase I of the Mallard Cove Apartments, located in Everett, Washington, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Transfer Agreement, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessor's rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessor's obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement.
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition was accounted for at fair value as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note, parity working capital loan and interest payable) $ 2,610,000 ============ Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 2,620,284 Other assets 29,145 Other liabilities (39,429) ------------ $ 2,610,000 ============ Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $2,470,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in January 2006. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after December 18, 1993. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 7.3%. Commencing on April 1, 1988, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.375% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.375%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $140,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 ----------------------------
Level 1 $ 423,582 $ 361,594 Level 2 1,128,064 962,981 --------- --------- $1,551,646 $1,324,575 ========== ==========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
The fair market value of all debt assumed at the date of acquisition (Note 1) was less than the aggregate legal obligation under such debt (including accrued interest) at that time by $63,608. Such difference is being accreted via charges to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $113,105 and $120,274, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Loan at January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $19,575 and $19,572, respectively.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with the Washington State Housing Finance Commission. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of this agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the current General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $2,470,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $800,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $1,670,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"). The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest on tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.4% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid base interest on the Old Debt, $257,976, and the Parity Working Capital Loan and interest thereon, $154,611, were converted to an Accrued Interest Note and a Working Capital Note, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $51,167, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed described below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLPII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; and (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030.
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.4% per annum interest was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $49,200 will be deferred and amortized over its life. The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received from the Counterparty. Net proceeds received, if any, under the interest swap are Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt obligations.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership purchased a 4% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA, for $1,600. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax-exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above. All distributions received from MLPI are classified as Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt Obligations.

MALLARD II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Mallard II Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed on January 22, 1992 for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Partners were SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, and SCA Limited Partner Corporation, the 99% Limited Partner. Effective January 1, 1994, the Limited Partnership Agreement was amended, whereby SCA Limited Partner Corporation transferred 43% and 5% interests to Mark K. Joseph, President, and Marilynn K. Duker, Vice President, of SCA Realty I, Inc., respectively. All operating profits and losses and distributions are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of July 9, 1992, the Partnership entered into a Transfer Agreement with Mallard Cove Associates II ("Predecessor") and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission, whereby the title to the 135 apartment units comprising Phase II of the Mallard Cove Apartments, located in Everett, Washington, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Transfer Agreement, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessor's rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessor's obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement.
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note, parity working capital loan and interest payable) $ 7,005,461 ============ Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 6,983,314 Other assets 81,033 Other liabilities (58,886) ------------ $ 7,005,461 ============
Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $6,450,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in January 2006. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after December 18, 1993. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 8.094%. Commencing on April 1, 1988, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.376% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.376%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $290,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 ------------------------------
Level 1 $1,094,306 $ 934,164 Level 2 2,546,934 2,174,212 ---------- ---------- $3,641,240 $3,108,376 ========== ==========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $336,775 and $335,215, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $50,550 and $50,544, respectively.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with the Washington State Housing Finance Commission. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of this agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $6,450,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $2,700,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $3,750,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"). The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest on tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.4% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid accrued base interest on the Old Debt, $737,426, and the Parity Working Capital Loan and interest thereon, $323,134, were converted to an Accrued Interest Note and a Working Capital Note, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $169,488, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLPII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; and (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030.
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.4% per annum interest rate was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $166,050 will be deferred and amortized over its life . The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received from the Counterparty. Net proceeds received, if any, under the interest swap are Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt obligations.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership purchased a 5.5% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA for $2,200. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax-exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above. All distributions received from MLPI are classified as Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt Obligations.

THE MEADOWS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
The Meadows Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed on January 7, 1992 for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the partners were SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, and SCA Limited Partner Corporation, the 99% Limited Partner. Effective January 1, 1994, the Limited Partnership Agreement was amended, whereby SCA Limited Partner Corporation transferred 43% and 5% to Mark K. Joseph, President, and Marilynn J. Duker, Vice President, of SCA Realty I, Inc., respectively. All operating profits and losses and distributions are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of March 2, 1992, the Partnership consummated an Agreement of Sale with T.M. Properties Ltd. ("Predecessor"), whereby the title to The Meadows Apartments, a 200-unit apartment complex located in Memphis, Tennessee, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Agreement of Sale, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessor's rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessor's obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement and the Limited Operating Deficit Guaranty (Note 5).
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note, parity working capital loan and interest payable) $ 7,426,500 ============ Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 7,431,396 Other assets 85,401 Other liabilities (90,297) ------------ $ 7,426,500 ============
Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operations of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $6,635,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in January 2008. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after January 1, 1995. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 7.625%. Commencing on January 1, 1988, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.5% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.5%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $565,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 -------------------------
Level 1 $1,260,000 $1,080,000 Level 2 2,961,000 2,538,000 ---------- ---------- $4,221,000 $3,618,000 ========== ==========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $577,908 and $528,250, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The property is managed by Shelter American Holdings, Inc. ("SAHI"), an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA. Management fees paid to SAHI for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $46,045 and $41,705, respectively.
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal of the Mortgage Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $54,000.
NOTE 5 - ADVANCES FROM GUARANTOR
As a condition precedent to the issuance of the Mortgage Loan to the Predecessor, Shelter Corporation of Canada ("Shelter Canada"), an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., entered into a Limited Operating Deficit Guaranty ("LODG") agreement dated January 1, 1988 to guaranty the payment of the operating deficits of the Predecessor up to a maximum amount of $720,000. The LODG agreement expired January 1, 1991.
The obligation to repay the guarantor for advances made to the Predecessor under the LODG agreement was assumed by the Partnership as a condition of the Agreement of Sale. In accordance with the LODG agreement, the outstanding balance bears interest at the lesser of the Prime Rate as established by the Bank of America or the cost of borrowing of the guarantor. Advances and interest shall be repaid from the sale or refinancing proceeds of the rental properties after the payment of contingent interest. As the repayment of this obligation is contingent and subordinate to all obligations associated with the Mortgage Loan (Note 3), advances under the guaranty and related interest are not reflected in the Partnership's financial statements.
As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, such contingently payable advances and interest under the LODG Agreement were $88,724 and $87,227, respectively.
NOTE 6 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with The Health, Educational and Housing Board of the City of Memphis, Tennessee. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the current General Partner are affiliates of SCA, Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $6,635,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $3,000,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $3,635,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"). The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest in tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.35% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid accrued base interest on the Old Debt, $294,901, and the Parity Working Capital Loan and interest thereon, $590,122, were converted to an Accrued Interest Note and a Working Capital Note, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $187,875, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLPII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030; and (v) advances and interest under the LODG Agreement (Note 5).
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.35% per annum interest rate was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $184,500 will be deferred and amortized over its life. The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received from the Counterparty. Net proceeds received, if any, under the interest swap are Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt obligations.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership purchased a 5% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA for $2,000. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax-exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above. All distributions received from MLPI are classified as Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt Obligations.

DECEMBER 31, 1994
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
March 15, 1995
To the Partners of The Montclair Limited Partnership
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of operations, of partners' deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Montclair Limited Partnership at December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. The financial statements of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 1993, prior to restatement, were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated February 17, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
As discussed in Note 3, the Partnership's 1993 financial statements have been restated to reflect (i) the mortgage loan assumed at its fair value at the date of assumption, and (ii) the subsequent accretion of the acquisition debt discount. We have audited the adjustments described in Note 3 that were applied to restate the 1993 financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied to the 1993 financial statements.

THE MONTCLAIR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
The Montclair Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed February 9, 1989, for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. The Partners are SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, and Shelter Development Corporation, the 99% Limited Partner. All operating profits and losses are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of February 28, 1989, the Partnership entered into a Transfer Agreement with Independent Living Centers of Springfield and the Independent Living Centers of North America ("Predecessors"), and the Industrial Development Authority of Springfield, Missouri, whereby the title to the Montclair, a 159-unit senior living community located in Springfield, Missouri, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Transfer Agreement, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessors' rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessors' obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement.
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition was accounted for as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note, parity working capital loan and interest payable) $ 11,066,489 ============= Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 10,494,018 Other assets 640,270 Other liabilities (67,799) ------------- $ 11,066,489 =============
Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $15,340,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in December 2015. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after November 1, 1993. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 7.875%. Commencing on October 28, 1988, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.375% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.375%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $125,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 -----------------------
Level 1 $2,268,165 $1,900,871 Level 2 5,491,346 4,602,109 ---------- ---------- $7,759,511 $6,502,980 ========== ==========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
The fair market value of all debt assumed at the date of acquisition (Note 1) was less than the aggregate legal obligation under such debt (including accrued interest) at that time by $4,500,000. Such difference is being accreted via charges to interest expense over the life of the debt. The Partnership's 1993 financial statements have been restated to reflect (i) mortgage loan assumed at its fair value at the date of assumption, and (ii) the subsequent accretion of the acquisition debt discount. As a result, the January 1, 1993 Partners' deficit is $3,855,141 lower, or $4,894,894, and the 1993 net loss is $168,224 higher, or $563,383.
In addition, the Partnership realized operating deficits (exclusive of debt service) during 1989 and consequently required additional funding from SCA in the form of additional working capital loans. These loans totalled $302,245 and carry a rate of 8% simple interest to the extent available from excess sale or refinancing proceeds over the sum of the aggregate principal and unpaid base interest on the original debt. To date there has not been any accrual of interest on the additional working capital loans of $302,245. The $132,990 of unaccrued interest on these loans at December 31, 1994 is not included in the contingent interest amounts set forth above. The loans are due upon remarketing, redemption, or acceleration of the related outstanding bonds to the extent not previously called by SCA. The repayment of these loans and any interest thereon is subordinate to any base interest outstanding on the Mortgage Loan.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $1,207,179 and $1,111,328, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The property is managed by Shelter Properties, Inc. ("Shelter"), an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA, pursuant to a management agreement. Management fees paid to Shelter for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $109,414 and $35,057, respectively.
Under the terms of the Mortgage Note and the $125,000 Parity Working Capital Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Note on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $115,988 and $115,981, respectively.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with the Industrial Development Authority of Springfield, Missouri. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the current General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $15,340,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $8,500,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $6,840,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"). The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest on tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.1% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid base interest on the Old Debt, $2,920,761, and the Parity Working Capital Loan and interest thereon, $451,111, were converted to an Accrued Interest Note and a Working Capital Note, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $529,846, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MPLII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; and (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030.
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.1% per annum interest rate was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $522,750 will be deferred and amortized over its life. The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received from the Counterparty. Net proceeds received, if any, under the interest swap are Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt obligations.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership purchased a 8% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA for $3,200. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax-exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above. All distributions received from MLPI are classified as Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt Obligations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization
St. Louis Park Housing Partners, a Limited Partnership, was formed under the Laws of the State of Minnesota on August 29, 1986 to construct and operate an apartment complex of 167 units in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the Partnership's significant accounting policies not disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements are as follows:
Partners Capital:
Allocation of Partnership income and loss is done in accordance with the ownership percentages specified in the Partnership Agreement.
Cash and Restricted Cash:
The cash balance represents cash resources which are available to fund current operations.
Restricted cash consists of the following:
1994 1993
Real estate tax and insurance escrow $ 59,875 $ 74,886 Security deposits 68,432 61,510 Replacement reserve 10,824 16,799 -------- --------- $139,131 $153,195 ======== ========
Replacement reserve represents amounts available to fund future replacements and repairs as defined in the loan agreement.
Credit Risk:
The Partnership has deposits in a financial institution in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Depreciation:
Depreciation on buildings, furniture, fixtures, and equipment is provided for by the use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Other Assets:
Other assets consist primarily of loan origination fees of $403,107 which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying loan.
Income Taxes:
No benefit for income taxes has been included in these financial statements since the tax loss passes through to, and is reported by, the partners.
Note 3. Debt
The project was originally financed with the proceeds from the issuance and sale of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds by the City of St. Louis Park for a total of $10,124,832 and a $675,168 working capital loan from SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership. The provisions of this working capital loan are identical to those of the mortgage revenue bond. Both loans are collateralized by a first mortgage on the real property and an assignment of rents. Principal payments on the loans are due in August 2008. The loans may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, on or after the seventh anniversary of the initial purchase of the bonds. Interest on the original loans is unconditionally payable at a base rate of 8.125%.
Commencing in August, 1987, the second anniversary date of the mortgage revenue bonds, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.375%. Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit. To the extent the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16%, the interest is deferred until the mortgaged property is sold or the mortgage loan is repaid. Sale or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to pay the base rate of interest on the original mortgage revenue bond and working capital loan plus 2.375% per annum. Fifty (50) percent of any excess sale or redemption proceeds after payment of the base rate plus 2.375% are payable to the lender to satisfy any previously unpaid amounts from the 16% per annum interest rate previously deferred.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date, accordingly, it is uncertain, based upon historical results, whether project cash flows would be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued. Aggregate unpaid potential contingent interest at December 31, 1994 and 1993 is $6,307,875 and $5,457,375, respectively.
Note 4. Related Party Transactions
SCA is due a total of $1,615,375 and $1,294,496 relating to debt service at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Partnership paid management fees of $56,964 and $54,663 to an affiliate in 1994 and 1993, respectively. These amounts are included in administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.
As required by the Indenture of Trust, the Partnership paid mortgage servicing fees of $81,000 to an affiliate in both 1994 and 1993.

NEWPORT VILLAGE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Newport Village Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed August 31, 1989, for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. The Partners are SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, and Shelter Development Corporation, the 99% Limited Partner. All operating profits and losses are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of August 31, 1989, the Partnership entered into a Transfer Agreement with Catalina Venture III, Ltd. ("Predecessors"), and the City of Thornton, Colorado, whereby the title to the Catalina Cottages and Apartments, a 220 apartment complex located in Thornton, Colorado, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Transfer Agreement, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessors' rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessors' obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement.
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note, parity working capital loan and interest payable) $ 10,951,400 ============= Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 10,913,975 Other assets 128,521 Other liabilities (91,096) ------------- $ 10,951,400 =============
Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $10,425,0000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in December 2010. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after December 10, 1993. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 7.875%. Commencing on December 10, 1988, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.375% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.375%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $455,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 ------------------------
Level 1 $1,565,267 $1,306,867 Level 2 3,789,593 3,163,993 ---------- ---------- $5,354,860 $4,470,860 ========== ==========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $649,832 and $576,513, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The property is managed by Shelter Corporation ("Shelter"), an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc. the managing General Partner of SCA, pursuant to a management agreement. Management fees paid to Shelter for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $57,974 and $53,876, respectively.
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $81,600.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with the City of Thornton, Colorado. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the current General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $10,425,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $6,250,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $4,175,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"). The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest on tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.1% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid accrued base interest on the Old Debt, $1,842,506, and the Parity Working Capital Loan and interest thereon, $535,377, were converted to an Accrued Interest Note and a Working Capital Note, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $390,040, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLPII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; and (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030.
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.1% per annum interest rate was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $384,375 will be deferred and amortized over its life. The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received, if any, from the Counterparty.

NICOLLET RIDGE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Nicollet Ridge Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed October 3, 1990, for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. The Partners are SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, and Garrett C. Carlson, Lynn Carlson-Schell, and the Lount Corporation, the 99% Limited Partners. All operating profits and losses are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of December 1, 1990, the Partnership entered into a Transfer Agreement with Burnsville Woods Partnership ("Predecessor"), and the City of Burnsville, Minnesota, whereby the title to Nicollet Ridge, a 339 apartment complex located in Burnsville, Minnesota, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Transfer Agreement, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessor's rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessor's obligations under the Mortgage Note and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement.
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note and interest payable) $ 21,441,220 ============= Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 21,676,831 Other assets 1,539,784 Other liabilities (1,775,395) ------------- $ 21,441,220 =============
Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $20,340,0000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in December 2010. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after December 1, 1994. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 7.875%. Commencing on December 1, 1989, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.375% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.375%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 ------------------------
Level 1 $2,455,631 $1,972,556 Level 2 5,945,213 4,775,663 ---------- ---------- $8,400,844 $6,748,219 ========== ==========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $820,455 and $932,094, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The property is managed by Shelter Corporation ("Shelter"), an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA, pursuant to a management agreement. Management fees paid to Shelter for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $104,498 and $104,093, respectively.
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $152,554 and $152,550, respectively.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with the City of Burnsville, Minnesota. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the current General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $20,340,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $7,925,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $12,415,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"). The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest on tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.1% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid accrued base interest on the Old Debt, $3,663,105, was converted to an Accrued Interest Note in an equivalent principal amount. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $506,052, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLPII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; and (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030.
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.1% per annum interest rate was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $487,388 will be deferred and amortized over its life. The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received from the Counterparty. Net proceeds, if any, received under the interest swap are Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt obligations.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership purchased a 37.58% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA, for $15,032. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax-exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above. All distributions received from MLPI are classified as Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt Obligations.

Note 3. Debt
The project was originally financed with the proceeds from the issuance and sale of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds by the City of San Bernardino for a total of $25,185,000 and a $665,000 working capital loan from SCA Tax Exempt Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the managing general partner. The provisions of this working capital loan are identical to those of the mortgage revenue bonds. Both loans are collateralized by a first mortgage on the real property and an assignment of rents. Principal payments on the loans are due August 1, 2006. The loans may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the initial purchase of the bonds. Subsequent to the 7th anniversary of the bonds, the bonds may be prepaid in whole or in part in accordance with certain terms specified in the loan agreement. Interest on the original loans is unconditionally payable at a base rate of 7.875%.
Commencing on December 10, 1988, the second anniversary date of the mortgage revenue bonds, contingent interest is payable each year from 100% of the project cash flow, after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.375%. Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches it's 16% per annum limit. To the extent the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16%, the interest is deferred until the mortgaged property is sold or the mortgage loan is repaid. Sale or repayment proceeds remaining, after the repayment of principal and other specified payments, are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to pay the base rate of interest on the original mortgage revenue bonds and working capital loan plus 2.375% per annum. Fifty (50) percent of any excess sale or redemption proceeds, after payment of the base rate plus 2.375%, are paid to the lender to satisfy any previously unpaid amounts from the 16% per annum interest rate previously deferred.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date. Accordingly, it is uncertain, based upon historical results, whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued. Aggregate unpaid potential contingent interest at December 31, 1994 and 1993 is $12,722,715 and $10,622,402, respectively.
Note. 4 Leasing Arrangements
During the year ended December 31, 1993, the Partnership, as lessor, leased a laundry facility under a ten-year operating lease agreement. The lease provided that the lessee make a one time rental payment of $108,000 at the inception of the lease. The Partnership has recognized rent income for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 in amounts such that the total rent income under the lease will be recognized ratably over the ten-year term. Deferred income under this agreement is $91,800 and $102,600 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
In connection with the lease mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the Partnership also is entitled to 40% of the income collected by the lessee from the laundry facilities.
Note 5. Second Mortgage Loan Payable
In accordance with a loan agreement between Block Bros. Industries (Block Bros.), and the Limited Partnership, Block Bros. provided a Letter of Credit in the amount of $1,000,000 which expired February 16, 1991 and was used to fund operating deficits of the rental property. The total draws on the Letter of Credit of $755,644 are repayable to Block Bros. and are collateralized by a non-recourse second mortgage on the property. The note matures at the earlier date of September 11, 2001 or upon the sale, refinancing, or transfer of the property.
Interest on the second mortgage is calculated using the U.S. prime rate according to the Bank of America. Aggregate unpaid potential interest related to the second mortgage amounted to $227,406 and $174,058 as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
While the legal obligation relative to the second mortgage has not been forgiven, the likelihood of repayment has diminished. The second mortgage is subordinate to the mortgage revenue bond and working capital loan, and it is uncertain whether future cash flows will be adequate to cover any debt beyond the contingent interest related to the priority debt (see Note 3). Accordingly, the second mortgage liability was reclassified to equity effective January 1, 1992. As a result, the Partnership discontinued accruing interest on the second mortgage loan payable. The effect of not recording this interest was to reduce the net loss for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 by $53,348 and $45,339, respectively.
In March of 1987, Shelter Canada and Winnipeg Financial entered into an indemnity agreement with SCA pursuant to which SCA granted permission for the investment, of the Shandin Hills Project bond proceeds, in certificates issued by the Government National Mortgage Corporation. Pursuant to the indemnity, Shelter Canada and Winnipeg Financial guaranteed to pay to SCA any loss resulting from any investment of bond proceeds.
In order to satisfy the indemnity obligation, Winnipeg Financial and Shelter Canada have agreed to indemnify SCA without limitation for all expenses required to be paid as a result of the Block Bros. lien and the elimination of the Block Bros. lien. At the present time the Partnership cannot estimate the amount ultimately required to eliminate this lien.
Note 6. Advances from Guarantors
As a condition precedent to the issuance of the mortgage revenue bonds, Shelter Corporation of Canada (Shelter Canada) and Winnipeg Financial and Management, Inc. (Winnipeg Financial) entered into an operating deficit guarantee agreement dated December 17, 1986 to guarantee the payment to SCA of the operating deficits of the Partnership up to a maximum amount of $1,292,500.
In a settlement agreement dated November 23, 1992, SCA and both Shelter Canada and Winnipeg Financial reached an agreement whereby Shelter Canada and Winnipeg Financial would satisfy their obligation under the above agreement. The aggregate amount owed to SCA as a result of the guarantee obligation and the indemnity obligation is $275,691 and $370,494 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In accordance with the terms of this agreement, Shelter Canada assigned its distribution rights and its partnership interest in an affiliated partnership to SCA. To the extent these distributions are used to reduce the guarantor's obligation to SCA, they are recorded as advances to the Partnership.
Advances to the Partnership by the guarantors' bear interest at the lesser of the prime rate as established by the Bank of America or the cost of borrowing of the guarantors. Advances shall be repaid from the sale or refinancing proceeds of the rental properties after the payment of contingent interest.
As the repayment of this obligation is contingent and subordinate to all obligations associated with the mortgage revenue bonds and working capital loan (See Note 3), advances and related accrued interest are not reflected in the Partnership's financial statements. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, advances under this agreement were $227,143 and $132,340, respectively, excluding potential interest of $12,891 and $5,916 respectively.
In addition to the advances under the guarantee obligation, discussed above and prior to the workout agreement, Shelter Canada advanced $301,422 to the Partnership. These advances bear interest at the prime rate as set by the Bank of America. As the repayment of this obligation is contingent and subordinate to all obligations associated with the mortgage revenue bonds and working capital loan (See Note 3), the entire amount was reclassified to Partner equity in 1992. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, potential interest on the balance was $172,415 and $140,197, respectively.
Note 7. Related Party Transactions
SCA is due $3,468,190 and $2,449,774 relating to debt service at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Shelter Properties Corporation (an affiliated property management company) is owed $38,918 relating to management fees and amounts paid on behalf of the partnership at December 31, 1994.
As required by the Indenture of Trust, the Partnership paid mortgage servicing fees of $193,875 to an affiliate in 1994 and 1993.
Note 8. Contingency
Under the terms of the Buyout Agreement dated September 2, 1986 and as amended by the second amended and restated Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is contingently liable in the amount of $4,200,000 to Winnipeg Financial and Management Inc. with respect to the redemption of their ownership interest in the Partnership.
The contingent liability is to be repaid from net cash from operations at such time as the managing general partner may determine as follows:
(a) Of the first $500,000, $375,000 shall be paid to Winnipeg Financial and $125,000 shall be paid to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interest, pursuant to the terms of the Buyout Agreement between Winnipeg Financial and Cal-Shel, as amended.
(b) Of the next $500,000, $425,000 shall be paid to Winnipeg Financial and $75,000 shall be paid to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interest, pursuant to the terms of the Buyout Agreement between Winnipeg Financial and Cal-Shel.
(c) Any additional cash distributions in excess of (a) and (b) of this Section shall be distributed 90 percent to Winnipeg Financial and 10 percent to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interest, until all payments required under the terms of the "Buyout Agreement" between Winnipeg Financial and Cal- Shel have been made.
The contingent liability is due upon sale of the rental properties or September 10, 2001, whichever occurs first, and shall bear interest from September 1, 1986 at the rate of 9% compounded semi-annually. Aggregate unpaid potential interest with respect to the Winnipeg Financial contingent liability is $4,548,773 and $3,811,514 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Note 9. Retirement Plan
Effective in 1994, Shelter Property Corporation, (property management company) adopted a 401(k) retirement plan covering all eligible employees of the Partnership. The Partnership made no contributions to the plan for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Note 10. Management Contract
Effective October 1, 1994, the Partnership entered into a management agreement with a management company which is an affiliate of one of the Partnership's general partners. The agreement provides for a management fee of 3% of monthly gross receipts. This agreement expires on September 30, 1995. Management fees accrued and paid to the affiliate amounted to $18,889 for the year ended December 31, 1994. Total management fees to related and unrelated parties were $82,344 and $73,682 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

STEEPLECHASE FALLS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Steeplechase Falls Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed March 18, 1993, for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. The Partners are SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, and SCA Limited Partner Corporation, the 99% Limited Partner. All operating profits and losses are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of July 12, 1993, the Partnership entered into a Transfer Agreement with Steeplechase Falls Ventures, Ltd. ("Predecessor"), and The Health, Educational and Housing Facilities Board of the County of Knoxville, Tennessee, whereby the title to the Steeplechase Falls Apartments, a 450-unit apartment complex located in Knoxville, Tennessee, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Transfer Agreement, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessor's rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessor's obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement.
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note, parity working capital loan and interest payable) $ 19,745,183 ============= Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 19,547,182 Other assets 515,860 Other liabilities (317,859) ------------- $ 19,745,183 =============
Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $17,950,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in October 2008. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after November 1, 1995. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 7.875%. Commencing on May 1, 1989, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.375% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.375%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $150,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 --------------------------
Level 1 $ 2,435,958 $ 2,006,083 Level 2 5,897,583 4,856,833 ----------- ----------- $ 8,333,541 $ 6,862,916 =========== ===========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the periods ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $1,475,419 and $658,502, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The property is managed by Shelter Properties Inc. ("Shelter"), an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA, pursuant to a management agreement. Management fees paid to Shelter for each of the periods ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $110,682 and $52,039, respectively.
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the periods ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $135,750 and $67,875, respectively.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with The Health, Educational and Housing Facilities Board of the County of Knoxville, Tennessee. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the current General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $17,950,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $12,650,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $5,300,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"). The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest on tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.125% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid accrued base interest on the Old Debt, $1,506,851, and the Parity Working Capital Loan and interest thereon, $162,612, were converted to an Accrued Interest Note and a Working Capital Note, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $784,773, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLPII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; and (iv) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030.
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.125% per annum interest rate was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $777,975 will be deferred and amortized over its life. The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received from the Counterparty. Net proceeds received, if any, under the interest swap are Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt obligations.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership purchased a 2.5% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA, for $1,000. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax-exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above. All distributions received from MLPI are classified as Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt Obligations.
WHISPERING LAKE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
March 15, 1995
To the Partners of Whispering Lake Limited Partnership
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of operations, of partners' deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Whispering Lake Limited Partnership at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

WHISPERING LAKE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Whispering Lake Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed on January 7, 1992 for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Partners were SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, and SCA Limited Partner Corporation, the 99% Limited Partner. Effective January 1, 1994, the Limited Partnership Agreement was amended, whereby SCA Limited Partner Corporation transferred 48% interest to Mark K. Joseph, President of SCA Realty I, Inc. All operating profits and losses are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of August 26, 1992, the Partnership entered into an Agreement of Sale with W.L. Partnership L.P. ("Predecessor"), whereby the title to Whispering Lake Apartments, a 384-unit apartment complex located in Kansas City, Missouri, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Agreement of Sale, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessor's rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessor's obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement and the Limited Operating Deficit Guaranty (Note 5).
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition was accounted for as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note, parity working capital loan and interest payable) $ 15,500,000 ============= Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 15,457,285 Other assets 366,356 Other liabilities (323,641) ------------- $ 15,500,000 ============= Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $17,400,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in December 2007. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after October 1, 1994. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 7.625%. Commencing October 1, 1989, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.25% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.25%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $790,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest. As a result, no contingent interest has been accrued at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Aggregate unaccrued and unpaid level 1 and level 2 contingent interest is:
December 31, 1994 1993 -------------------------
Level 1 $2,148,694 $1,739,419 Level 2 5,849,222 4,735,084 ---------- ---------- $7,997,916 $6,474,503 ========== ==========
Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
The fair market value of all debt assumed at the date of acquisition (Note 1) was less than the aggregate legal obligation under such debt (including accrued interest) at that time by $3,615,581. Such difference is being accreted via charges to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Cash outflows from operating activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 include interest of $938,000 and $786,759, respectively.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The property has been managed by Shelter Corporation ("Shelter"), an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA, since June 1, 1994, pursuant to a management agreement. Management fees paid to Shelter for the year ended December 31, 1994 were $32,616.
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership is obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, Inc., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $136,425.
NOTE 5 - ADVANCES FROM GUARANTOR
As a condition precedent to the issuance of the Mortgage Loan to the original borrower, Shelter Corporation of Canada ("Shelter Canada"), and affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., entered into a Limited Operating Deficit Guaranty ("LODG") agreement dated October 1, 1987 to guaranty the payment of the operating deficits of the Predecessor up to a maximum amount of $1,819,000. The LODG Agreement expired in July 1992, at which time the aggregate amount owed to the Partnership as a result of the LODG was approximately $712,300.
In a Settlement Agreement dated November 23, 1992, SCA and Shelter Canada reached an agreement whereby Shelter Canada would satisfy their obligation under the LODG. In accordance with the terms of this agreement, Shelter Canada assigned its distribution rights and its partnership interests in SCA Associates '86, Inc. and SCA Associates '86-II, Inc., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., in full satisfaction of this obligation. To the extent distributions are received, they are considered advances to the Partnership.
Advances to the Partnership bear interest at the lesser of the Prime Rate as established by the Bank of America or the cost of borrowing of the guarantor. Advances and interest shall be repaid from the sale or refinancing proceeds of the rental properties after the payment of contingent interest. As the repayment of this obligation is contingent and subordinate to all obligations associated with the Mortgage Loan (Note 3), advances under the LODG and related interest are not reflected in the Partnership's financial statements.
As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, such contingently payable advances and interest totaled $722,689 and $549,138, respectively.
NOTE 6 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Land Use Restriction Agreement ("Regulatory Agreement") with The Industrial Development Authority of the City of Kansas City, Missouri. Under this Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with a financing transaction consummated by SCA on February 14, 1995, the following occurred:
Change in General Partner
As of January 1, 1995, SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner of the Partnership, withdrew from the Partnership and was replaced by SCA Successor II, Inc. as sole General Partner. Both the former and the current General Partner are affiliates of SCA Realty I, Inc.
Debt Restructuring
Effective February 14, 1995, the Partnership's obligation under the Mortgage Note of $17,400,000 (the "Old Debt") (see Note 3) was restructured into a Series A Mortgage Note of $8,900,000 and a Series B Mortgage Note of $8,500,000 (collectively, the "New Debt"). The New Debt secures the payment of principal and interest on tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds in the like amounts held by SCA Tax Exempt Trust. The New Debt, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment on rents, matures in January 2030.
The Series A Mortgage Note bears interest at 7.1% per annum which is due and payable monthly. Required monthly principal payments commence January 1, 2001 and continue through maturity.
The Series B Mortgage Note bears interest equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) per annum or (b) the amount of Available Cash Flow, as defined, not exceeding sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Principal on the Series B Mortgage Note is due January 2030. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
On February 14, 1995, the unpaid base interest on the Old Debt, $1,678,356, and the Parity Working Capital Loan and interest thereon, $866,145, were converted to an Accrued Interest Note and a Working Capital Note, respectively, in equivalent principal amounts. The Accrued Interest Note, Working Capital Note and Load Loan Note in the amount of $557,797, incurred primarily to purchase the interest rate cap discussed below, (collectively, the "Notes") are held by MLPII Acquisition Limited Partnership ("MLPII"), an affiliate of SCA. The Notes are due on demand, but in any case not later than January 2030. The Notes bear interest at a compound annual rate equal to the Blended Annual Rate in effect for that calendar year as published by the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent the Partnership has Available Cash Flow, interest on the principal amount and scheduled principal payments shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Subordination Agreement described below.
The Notes and Series B Mortgage Note (together the "Junior Debt") are subordinate in priority and right of payment to the Series A Mortgage Note as described in the Subordination Agreement and can only be paid from Available Cash Flow (including Restricted Funds, as defined). Payments of principal and interest on the Junior Debt are prioritized as follows: (i) interest payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (ii) scheduled principal payments due on the Notes, prorata between the Notes; (iii) interest payments due on the Series B Mortgage Note; (vi) the principal payment of the Series B Mortgage Note due January 2030; and (v) advances and interest under the LODG agreement (Note 5).
As part of the debt restructuring, the Partnership entered into a cross-collateralization agreement with 11 other partnerships controlled by SCA Successor II, Inc. ("Other Partnerships"). This cross-collaterization agreement may result in the Partnership being obligated under the Series A mortgage note obligations of the Other Partnerships due to shortfalls in cash flows or Series A mortgage note debt service coverage ratios. Based upon information currently available, the General Partner does not anticipate that any payments will be required under the cross-collateralization agreement.
Interest Rate Swap and Cap
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the obligation under the Series A Mortgage Note whereby a portion of the 7.1% per annum interest rate was swapped into a floating interest rate. Under this interest rate swap, the Partnership is obligated to pay Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Counterparty") a floating rate equivalent to the PSA Municipal Swap Index, an index of weekly tax-exempt variable rate issues. In return, the Counterparty will pay to the Partnership a fixed rate equivalent to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The Partnership utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Load Loan Note discussed above to purchase an interest rate cap which will serve to limit the Partnership's obligation under the floating rate to 6.1% per annum through January 1, 1999 and 5.15% per annum through January 1, 2005. The cost of the interest rate cap of $547,350 will be deferred and amortized over its life. The Partnership continues to be obligated under the Series A Mortgage Debt obligation in excess of the fixed rate equivalent received from the Counterparty. Net proceeds received, if any, under the interest swap are Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt obligations.
Member Interest
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership purchased a 15.92% member interest in MLPI LLC ("MLPI"), an affiliate of SCA for $6,368. MLPI is a limited liability company formed under and pursuant to the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act to act as the General Partner in MLPII, a Maryland Limited Partnership, and to perform the duties of General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement of MLPII. MLPII intends to invest in tax-exempt bonds or operating real estate properties. The net income or loss, capital gains or losses, and distributions of MLPI shall be allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the percentage of member interest stated above. All distributions received from MLPI are classified as Restricted Funds and are available only for Junior Debt Obligations.

WILLOWGREEN I AND II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP
Organization
Willowgreen I and II Limited Partnership ("Partnership") was formed June 30, 1994, for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating residential and commercial real estate. The Partnership had no operations until the date of acquisition described below. The Partners are SCA Successor, Inc., the 1% General Partner, SCA Limited Partner Corporation and Mark K. Joseph, President of SCA Realty I, Inc., the 99% Limited Partners. All operating profits and losses are to be allocated in accordance with the percentage of partnership interest, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Any gains and losses recognized upon sale, exchange or other disposition of real property in the project shall also be allocated as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Acquisition of Property
As of November 21, 1994, the Partnership entered into a Transfer Agreement with Willowgreen Associates ("Predecessor"), and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission, whereby the title to the Willowgreen, a 241-unit apartment complex located in Fife, Washington, was transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure. Through this Transfer Agreement, the Partnership acquired all of Predecessor's rights, title and interest in the property, and assumed all of Predecessor's obligations under the Mortgage Note, Parity Working Capital Loan and all other mortgage loan documents (collectively the "Mortgage Loan") and the Regulatory Agreement.
As a result of the change in ownership, a new basis of accounting was established. Accordingly, the aggregate acquisition cost has been allocated among the acquired assets and assumed liabilities giving appropriate recognition to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Assumption of debt at fair market value (including all legal obligations - mortgage note, parity working capital loan and interest payable) $ 9,632,203 ============ Assets and liabilities at fair market value Land, property and equipment $ 9,630,279 Other assets 126,265 Other liabilities (124,341) ------------ $ 9,632,203 ============
Mortgage Loan Default
At the time of its assumption by the Partnership, the Mortgage Loan was in default for failure to pay full base interest due (Note 3). Since that time, cash flows from operation of the property have continued to be insufficient to bring the Mortgage Loan current. SCA Tax Exempt Fund Limited Partnership ("SCA"), an affiliate of the Partnership, holds the Mortgage Loan and has not waived default thereunder. However, SCA has represented that it has no plans or intentions to exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan during the ensuing year.
The Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon SCA's continued forbearance. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements of the Partnership. In accordance with Federal and state income tax regulations, the tax attributes of the Partnership accrue to the individual partners. Each partner's allocable share of the Partnership profit and loss is reported on the partner's tax return.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
The Partnership is obligated for a total of $9,275,000 under the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is assigned to SCA to secure the payment of principal and interest on a tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond in a like amount. The Mortgage Note, which is collateralized by a first priority lien on the real property and an assignment of rents, matures in December 2010. The Mortgage Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part, on or after December 1, 1993. Prepayment of the Mortgage Note may be required upon the occurrence of an event which would cause significant risk that the interest on the Mortgage Revenue Bond would be subject to taxation.
Base interest on the original Mortgage Note is payable at a rate of 8%. Commencing on February 1, 1988, contingent interest is payable during the year from 100% of the project cash flow after payment of base interest, at a rate of 2.25% (level 1 contingent interest). Any remaining cash flow is split equally with the lender until the lender reaches its 16% per annum limit (level 2 contingent interest). To the extent that the aggregate of all interest payments, including contingent interest, for any year does not equal 16% per annum, the difference is deferred until the property is sold or the loan is repaid. Sales or repayment proceeds remaining after the repayment of principal and other specified payments are paid 100% to the lender to the extent necessary in order to provide the lender a return equal to the base interest rate plus 2.25%. Thereafter such proceeds are split equally with the lender in order to provide a return of 16%.
The Partnership is also obligated for a $175,000 Parity Working Capital Loan issued and held by SCA, which bears the same interest rate and is payable on the same terms and conditions as the Mortgage Note discussed above.
The Partnership has been unable to pay all base interest to date on the Mortgage Loan; accordingly, it is uncertain whether project cash flows will be sufficient to pay contingent interest.

Because of its inability to pay all base interest to date, the Partnership is also in default of the Indenture of Trust for the Mortgage Revenue Bond held by SCA. SCA has represented to the General Partner that it does not, at this time, intend to exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Revenue Bond during the ensuing year as a result of the default.
Cash outflows from operating activities for the period ended December 31, 1994 include interest of $53,117.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Partnership and its Predecessor are obligated to pay a mortgage servicing fee to SCA Associates '86, L.P., an affiliate of SCA Realty I, Inc., the managing General Partner of SCA. This fee is calculated at .75% of the aggregate outstanding legal obligation of the Mortgage Loan on January 1 of each year. Mortgage servicing fees charged to operations for the period ended December 31, 1994 were $7,875, which represents an allocation of the Partnership's share of the fees since date of acquisition.
NOTE 5 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT
The Partnership is subject to a Regulatory Agreement with the Washington State Housing Finance Commission. Under the Regulatory Agreement, the property operated by the Partnership is required to lease or hold available for leasing at least 20% of its rental units to qualifying low or moderate income tenants. The terms of the Regulatory Agreement were established in conjunction with the Mortgage Loan to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Mortgage Revenue Bond. At December 31, 1994, the Partnership was in compliance with the terms of this Regulatory Agreement.
