Item 1. Business.
General - -------
Cambridge + Related Housing Properties Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which was formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on April 28, 1983. The general partners of the Partnership are Government Assisted Properties, Inc. (the "Assisted General Partner") and Related Housing Programs Corporation (the "Related General Partner"), both of which are Delaware corporations affiliated with an affiliate of The Related Companies, L.P. ("Related"), a New York limited partnership, and Cambridge/Related Housing Associates Limited Partnership ("Cambridge Related Associates"), a Massachusetts limited partnership, (together the "General Partners"). The general partners of Cambridge Related Associates are the Assisted General Partner and the Related General Partner. The General Partners manage and control the affairs of the Partnership. See Item 10, Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant, below.
The Partnership completed its initial public offering (the "Offering") on May 4, 1984. Pursuant to the Offering, the Partnership issued 5,019 Initial Limited Partnership Interests in 1984 and 5,019 Additional Limited Partnership Interests in 1985, resulting in $50,190,000 in Gross Proceeds and $36,638,700 of net proceeds available for investment and reserves. The Partnership is currently in the process of winding up its operations and disposing of its investments. See "Sales of Underlying Properties/Local Partnership Interests" below. As of February 28, 2003, the Partnership has disposed of forty-two of its forty-four original investments. Subsequently on March 11, 2003, the property and related assets and liabilities of one investment was sold. The remaining investment is under contract to be sold.
Investment Objectives/Government Incentives - -------------------------------------------
The Partnership was formed to invest, as a limited partner, in other limited partnerships (referred to herein as "Local Partnerships" or "Subsidiary Partnerships"), each of which owns and operates an existing residential housing development (an "Apartment Complex") which is receiving some form of local, State or Federal assistance, such as mortgage insurance, rental assistance payments, permanent mortgage financing and/or interest reduction payments ("Government Assistance"). The Partnership's investment objectives are to:
(1) provide current tax benefits in the form of passive losses which holders of Limited Partnership Interests may use to offset passive income from other sources;
(2) provide long-term capital appreciation through an increase in the value of the Partnership's investments in Local Partnerships;
(3) provide cash distributions from sale or refinancing transactions; and
(4) preserve and protect the Partnership's capital.
The Partnership is in the process of winding down its operations as it continues to sell its assets;. therefore investment objectives (1), (2) and (4) are no longer applicable. The Partnership has to date distributed approximately $6,683,000 from sales transactions and expects to continue to make distributions from excess sales proceeds, although such aggregate distributions are not currently anticipated to equal the original investment. The Partnership will no longer be generating passive losses due to the sale of properties. However, passive losses previously allocated (to the extent unused by a limited partner) are available to offset the income expected to be generated from the sales effort.
Federal, state and local government agencies have provided significant incentives in order to stimulate private investment in government assisted housing. The intent of these incentives is to reduce certain market risks and permit investors to receive (i) tax benefits, (ii) limited cash distributions and (iii) long-term capital appreciation. Notwithstanding these factors, there remain significant risks. These risks include, and are not limited to, the financial strength and expertise of the local general partners. The long-term nature of the investments in government-subsidized housing and the continuance of government incentives has limited the ability of the Partnership to vary its investment portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions; such investments have also been subject to changes in local economic circumstances and housing patterns which have had an impact on real estate values and, in the Partnership's current liquidation phase, the ability to achieve a profit on the sale of the apartment complexes. These Apartment Complexes have also required greater management expertise and have had higher operating expenses than conventional apartment buildings. See Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, below.
Investments - -----------
The interests in the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership invested ("Local Partnership Interests") were acquired from unaffiliated sellers. The Partnership became the principal limited partner in these Local Partnerships pursuant to local limited partnership agreements. The Partnership has acquired a 98.99% interest in each of the Local Partnerships. As a limited partner, the Partnership's liability for obligations of the Local Partnerships is limited to its investment. The general partners of the Local Partnerships ("Local General Partners") retain responsibility for maintaining, operating and managing the Apartment Complexes. Under certain circumstances, the Partnership has the right to replace the Local General Partner of the Local Partnership.
The Partnership purchased the Local Partnership Interests for a purchase price consisting in each case of a cash down payment, a deferred cash payment due in April of the following year and a Purchase Money Note (as defined below), secured in each case by the Local Partnership Interest for which it was given in payment. The cash payments were made in part as the purchase price of the Local Partnership Interests and in part as capital contributions to the Local Partnerships. Such contributions were generally used by the Local Partnership to pay partnership management fees to the Local General Partners and fees to the Local General Partners for guaranteeing the funding of operating deficits (generally for a period of three to five years and subject to a maximum amount).
Purchase Money Notes - --------------------
Nonrecourse purchase money notes (the "Purchase Money Notes") were issued to the selling partners of the Subsidiary Partnerships as part of the purchase price, and are secured only by the Partnership's interest in the Subsidiary Partnership to which the Purchase Money Note relates.
The Purchase Money Notes, which provide for simple interest, will not be in default if not less than 60% of the cash flow actually distributed to the Partnership by the corresponding Subsidiary Partnership (generated by the operations, as defined) is applied first to accrued interest and then to current interest thereon. As of February 28, 2003, the maturity dates of the Purchase Money Notes associated with the remaining properties owned by the Subsidiary Partnerships were extended through a fifth year. These are the final extensions for these Purchase Money Notes (see below). Any interest not paid currently accrues, without further interest thereon, through the extended due date of each of the Purchase Money Notes, respectively. Continued accrual of such interest without payment would impact the effective rate of the Purchase Money Notes, specifically by reducing the current effective interest rate of 9%. The exact effect is not determinable inasmuch as it is dependent on the actual future interest payments and ultimate repayment dates of the Purchase Money Notes.
Unpaid interest of $3,669,010 (with respect to the two remaining notes) and $24,273,106 (with respect to the fourteen remaining notes) at February 28, 2003 and 2002, respectively, has been accrued and is included in the caption due to selling partners. In general, the interest on and the principal of each Purchase Money Note is also payable to the extent of the Partnership's actual receipt of proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the Apartment Complex, or in some cases the Local Partnership Interest to which the Purchase Money Note relates.
The Partnership was permitted to extend the term of the Purchase Money Notes for up to five additional years. In connection with such extensions, the Partnership incurred an extension fee of 1/2% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchase Money Notes. The Partnership sent an extension notice to each Purchase Money Note holder, pursuant to the Purchase Money Note, that it was extending the maturity date of such notes. However in certain cases, the Partnership did not pay the extension fee at that time, deferring such payment to the future. The two properties with Purchase Money Notes are now extended with maturity dates of August and October 2003. These are the final extensions for these Purchase Money Notes. Extension fees of $107,118 were accrued and added to the balance of these Purchase Money Notes.
The Partnership expects that upon final maturity it will be required to sell its investments in the Local Partnerships in order to pay the Purchase Money Notes and accrued interest thereon. Based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships, the prices realized on the sale of the Partnership's investment sold to date and the current economic conditions including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales will be sufficient to meet the outstanding balances. No assurance can be given that management's efforts will be successful in selling the Partnership's investment in the remaining property. The Purchase Money Notes are without personal recourse to either the Partnership or any of its partners and the sellers' recourse, in the event of non-payment, would be to foreclose on the Partnership's interests in the respective Local Partnerships.
Sales of Underlying Properties/Local Partnership Interests - ----------------------------------------------------------
General - -------
The Partnership is currently in the process of winding up its operations and disposing of its investments. As of February 28, 2003, the Partnership has disposed of forty-two of its forty-four original investments. Subsequently, on March 11, 2003 one additional investment was sold. The one remaining investment is under contract to be sold within the next several months. There can be no assurance that the Partnership will dispose of its last remaining investment during this time frame or the amount of proceeds which may be received.
In order to facilitate an orderly disposition of the Partnership's assets, the Partnership formed two entities: Cambridge Liquidating Trust LLC ("Trust I"), a Massachusetts limited liability company which is owned 99.99% by the Partnership and .01% by affiliates of Related; and, Cambridge Liquidating Trust II ("Trust II"), a Massachusetts general partnership which is owned 99% by Cambridge Liquidating GP II, L.L.C. ("GP II") and 1% by Cambridge Liquidating GP I, L.L.C. ("GP I"). Both GP I and GP II are owned by the Partnership.
On December 30, 1998, the Partnership contributed its limited partnership interest in Bethany Glen Associates, Westwood, Ltd., Parktowne, Ltd., Rolling Meadows Apartments, Ltd., Buena Vista Apartments, Ltd. and Wingate Associates, Ltd. to Trust I. On December 31, 1998, the Partnership contributed its limited partnership interests in Grandview-Blue Ridge Manor Limited, Breckenridge-Chaparral Apartments II, Ltd., El Paso-Gateway East, Ltd., Albequerque-Lafayette Square Apartments, Ltd., Corpus Christi-Oso Bay Apartments, Ltd., Westgate Associates Limited, San Diego-Logan Square Gardens Co., Ardmore-Rolling Meadows of Ardmore, Ltd., Fort Worth-Northwoods Apartments, Ltd. and Stephenville-Tarleton Arms Apartments, Ltd. to Trust II. In each case,
the interests were contributed subject to each respective Purchase Money Note. The contribution did not involve any consideration being paid to the Partnership, therefore, there was no tax effect to the limited partners of the Partnership. As of February 28, 2003 all Local Partnerships named above were sold except Gateway, which was subsequently sold on March 11, 2003.

Tax Matters - -----------
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "TRA") provides as of 1991 that the passive losses generated by the Partnership can only be used to shelter passive income or, in the alternative, may be carried forward to offset a gain upon the sale of properties.
Segments - --------
The Partnership operates in one segment, which is the investment in multi-family residential property.
Competition - -----------
The real estate business is highly competitive and each of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested owns an Apartment Complex which must compete for tenants in the marketplace. However, the rental assistance and preferred interest rates on mortgage financing generally make it possible to offer the apartments to eligible tenants at a cost to the tenant significantly below the market rate for comparable conventionally financed apartments in the area.
Employees - ---------
The Partnership does not have any direct employees. All services are performed for the Partnership by its General Partner and their affiliates. The General Partners receive compensation in connection with such activities as set forth in Items 11 and 13. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the General Partners and certain of their affiliates for expenses incurred in connection with the performance by their employees of services for the Partnership in accordance with the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement").
Item 2.
Item 2. Properties.
As of February 28, 2003, the Partnership holds a 98.99% limited partnership interest in each of two Local Partnerships, which own two residential Apartment Complexes receiving Government Assistance. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003, the property and the related assets and liabilities owned by three Local Partnerships were sold and the Partnership's Local Partnership Interest in nine other Local Partnerships were sold. Through the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003, the properties and the related assets and liabilities owned by eighteen Local Partnerships were sold and the Partnership's Local Partnership Interest in twenty-four other Local Partnerships were sold. Set forth below is a schedule of these Local Partnerships, including certain information concerning the Apartment Complexes (the "Local Partnership Schedule"). See Schedule III to the financial statements included herein for additional information, including encumbrances, pertaining to the Apartment Complexes.
(a) The Partnership invested in Local Partnerships owning existing Apartment Complexes which receive either Federal or State subsidies. HUD, through FHA, administers a variety of subsidies for low and moderate-income housing. FHA administers similar housing programs for non-urban areas. The federal programs generally provide one or a combination of the following forms of assistance: (i) mortgage loan insurance, (ii) rental subsidies, (iii) reduction of mortgage interest payments.
1) HUD provides mortgage insurance for rental housing projects pursuant to a number of sections of Title II of the National Housing Act ("NHA"), including Section 236, Section 221(d)(4), Section 221(d)(3) and Section 220. Under all of these programs, HUD will generally provide insurance equal to 100% of the total replacement cost of the project to non-profit owners and 90% of the total replacement cost to limited-distribution owners. Mortgages are provided by institutions approved by HUD, including banks, savings and loan companies and local housing authorities. Section 221(d)(4) of NHA provides for federal insurance of private construction and permanent mortgage loans to finance new construction of rental apartment complexes containing five or more units. The most significant difference between the 221(d)(4) program and the 221(d)(3) program is the maximum amount of the loan which may be obtained. Under the 221(d)(3) program, non-profit sponsors may obtain a permanent mortgage equal to 100% of the total replacement cost; no equity contribution is required of a non-profit sponsor. In all other respects, the 221(d)(3) program is substantially similar to the 221(d)(4) program.
2) Many of the tenants in HUD insured projects receive some form of rental assistance payments, primarily through the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program (the "Section 8 Program"). Apartment Complexes not receiving assistance through the Section 8 Program ("Section 8 Payments") will generally have limitations on the amounts of rent which may be charged. One requirement imposed by HUD regulations effective for apartment complexes initially approved for Section 8 payments on or after November 5, 1979, is to limit the amount of the owner's annual cash distributions from operations to 10% of the owner's equity investment in an Apartment Complex if the apartment complex is intended for occupancy by families, and to 6% of the owner's equity investment in an Apartment Complex intended for occupancy by elderly persons. The owner's equity investment in the apartment complex is 10% of the project's replacement cost as determined by HUD. HUD released the American Community Partnerships Act (the "ACPA"). The ACPA is HUD's blueprint for providing for the nation's housing needs in an era of static or decreasing budget authority. Two key proposals in the ACPA that could affect the Local Partnerships are: (i) a discontinuation of project-based Section 8 subsidy payments and (ii) an attendant reduction in debt on properties that were supported by the Section 8 payments. The ACPA calls for a transition during which the project-based Section 8 would be converted to a tenant-based voucher system. Any FHA insured debt would then be "marked-to-market", that is revalued in light of the reduced income stream, if any.
3) Section 236 Program. As well as providing mortgage insurance, the Section 236 program also provides an interest credit subsidy which reduces the cost of debt service on a project mortgage, thereby enabling the owner to charge the tenants lower rents for their apartments. Interest credit subsidy payments are made monthly by HUD directly to the mortgagee of the Project. Each payment is in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the monthly interest payment required by the terms of the mortgage to pay principal, interest and the annual mortgage insurance premium and (ii) the monthly payment which would have been required for principal and interest if the mortgage loan bore interest at the rate of 1%. These payments are credited against the amounts otherwise due from the owner of the Project, who makes monthly payments of the balance.
(b) State of jurisdiction is the same state as the location, unless otherwise indicated.
(c) State of jurisdiction is Alabama.
(d) State of jurisdiction is Michigan.
(e) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 1997 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(f) The Partnership's Local Partnership Interest in this Local Partnership was sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 1997 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(g) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(h) The Partnership's Local Partnership Interests in these Local Partnerships were sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(i) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 1999 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(j) The Partnership's Local Partnership Interests in these Local Partnerships were sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 1999 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(k) As a result of on-going litigation, which was subsequently settled, related to the Roar Properties (as defined herein), occupancy rates were not provided by the management agent pursuant to the instructions from the Local General Partner.
(l) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2000 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(m) The Partnership's Local Partnership Interests in these Local Partnerships were sold during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2000 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(n) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2001 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(o) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2002 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(p) The Partnership's Local Partnership Interests in these Local Partnerships were sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2002 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(q) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(r) The Partnership's Local Partnership Interests in these Local Partnerships were sold during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
(s) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold on March 11, 2003 (see Note 13 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
All leases are generally for periods not greater than one to two years and no tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fiscal year covered by this report through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.
PART II
Item 5.
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Limited Partnership Interests and Related Security Holder Matters.
At February 28, 2003, the Partnership had issued and outstanding 10,038 Limited Partnership Interests, of which 5,019 are Initial Limited Partnership Interests and 5,019 are Additional Limited Partnership Interests, each representing a $5,000 capital contribution per unit to the Partnership, for aggregate gross proceeds of $50,190,000. Additional Limited Partnership Interests are the Limited Partnership Interests acquired upon the exercise of warrants or sold by the Partnership upon the non-exercise of the warrants. The warrants are rights granted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement as part of the purchase of an Initial Limited Partnership Interest. No further issuance of Initial Limited Partnership Interests or Additional Limited Partnership Interests is anticipated and all warrants have expired. As of February 28, 2003, the Partnership had 4,223 registered holders of Limited Partnership Interests.
Limited Partnership Interests are not traded in any organized market. It is not anticipated that any public market will develop for the purchase and sale of any Limited Partnership Interests. Limited Partnership Interests may be transferred only if certain requirements are satisfied, including that in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership such transfer would not cause a termination of the Partnership under Section 708 of the Internal Revenue Code and would not violate any federal or state securities laws.
In March 2003 and 2002, there were no distributions paid to the limited partners or the General Partners, from net proceeds from the sale of properties (see Item 7. below). There are no material restrictions upon the Partnership's present or future ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. However, the Partnership has invested in Local Partnerships owning Apartment Complexes which receive Government Assistance under programs which in many instances restrict the cash return available to owners. See Item 8, Note 11(i). The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to its Limited Partners in circumstances other than refinancing or sale, nor do the General Partners expect that the Partnership will distribute sufficient net proceeds from sales or refinancings to return the Limited Partners' original investment.
Item 6.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
The information set forth below presents selected financial data of the Partnership. Additional financial information is set forth in the audited financial statements in Item 8 hereof.
During the years ended February 28, 1999, February 29, 2000, February 28, 2001, 2002 and 2003 total assets decreased primarily due to the sale of properties (see Item 8., Note 10), depreciation and a loss for the impairment of assets, partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents resulting from net proceeds from the sales and net additions to property and equipment. Long-term obligations and total liabilities decreased for the years ended February 28, 1999, February 29, 2000, February 28, 2001, 2002 and 2003 primarily due to the repayment of and forgiveness of indebtedness on Purchase Money Notes, mortgage notes payable and amounts due to selling partners as a result of the sale of underlying properties, partially offset by accruals of interest on Purchase Money Notes.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources - -------------------------------
General - -------
The Partnership's primary sources of funds are (i) cash distributions from operations, (ii) cash distributions from sales of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested, (iii) interest earned on funds, and (iv) cash in working capital reserves. All these sources of funds are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership.
During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003, the property and the related assets and liabilities owned by three Local Partnerships and the Partnership's Limited Partnership Interest in nine Local Partnerships were sold. Through the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003, the properties and the related assets and liabilities owned by eighteen Local Partnerships were sold and the Partnership's Local Partnership Interest in twenty-four other Local Partnerships were sold.
The Partnership had a working capital reserve of approximately $628,000 and $135,000 at February 28, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The working capital reserve is temporarily invested in money market accounts which can be easily liquidated to meet obligations as they arise. The General Partners believe that the Partnership's reserves, net proceeds from future sales and future cash flow distributions will be adequate for its operating needs, and plans to continue investing available reserves in short-term investments. The General Partners fees are being paid currently other than approximately $1,976,000 of Partnership management fees which were accrued and continue to be deferred.
During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership and its consolidated Local Partnerships increased approximately $71,000. This increase was due to proceeds from sale of properties ($13,893,000), a decrease in mortgage escrow deposits relating to investing activities ($657,000) which exceeded cash used in operating activities ($170,000), acquisition of property and equipment ($487,000), payments to selling partners ($4,105,000), net principal payments of mortgage notes and purchase money notes ($8,202,000), costs paid relating to sale of properties ($1,496,000) and a decrease in minority interest ($20,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net income to cash provided by operating activities is gain on sale of properties ($25,095,000), forgiveness of indebtedness income ($2,831,000) and depreciation ($352,000).
Cash flow distributions aggregating $207,440, $71,144 and $196,814 were made to the Partnership in the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively. Of such distributions, $169,833, $56,426 and $118,246, respectively, was used to pay interest on the Purchase Money Notes. Distribution of proceeds from sales aggregating $8,994,812 and $289,581 were made to the Partnership in the 2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years, respectively of which $7,123,995 and $286,080, respectively, was used to pay principal and interest on the Purchase Money Notes.
Critical Accounting Policies - ----------------------------
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of the Company's accounting policies included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in this annual report on Form 10-K.
a) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in earnings. The Partnership complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using discounted cash flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value.
b) Income Taxes
No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the responsibility of the individual partners. For income tax purposes, the Partnership has a fiscal year ending December 31.
Purchase Money Notes - --------------------
For a discussion of Purchase Money Notes Payable, see Note 7 to the Financial Statements.
Sales of Underlying Properties/Local Partnership Interests - ----------------------------------------------------------
For a discussion of the sale of properties in which the Partnership owns direct and indirect interest, see Note 10 to the Financial Statements.
For a discussion of contingencies affecting certain Local Partnerships, see Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships below. Since the maximum loss the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in the respective Local Partnerships, the resolution of the existing contingencies is not anticipated to impact future results of operations, liquidity or financial condition in a material way.
Except as described above, management is not aware of any trends or events, commitments or uncertainties which have not otherwise been disclosed that will or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes the only impact would be from laws that have not yet been adopted. Due to the sale of properties, the portfolio is not diversified by the location of the properties around the United States. The remaining property may not be protected against a general downturn in the national economy.
Results of Operations - ---------------------
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At the time property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using discounted cash
flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. These assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not depreciated. All property and equipment for subsidiary partnerships whose assets and liabilities are under sales contracts are classified as assets held for sale.
Through February 28, 2003, the Partnership has recorded approximately $8,889,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for the Fiscal Years ended February 28, 2003, 2002 and 2001 (the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively).
The results of operations of the Partnership, as well as the Local Partnerships, excluding administrative and management, taxes and insurance, gain on sale of properties and forgiveness of indebtedness income, remained fairly constant during the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years.
2002 vs. 2001 - ------------- Rental income decreased by approximately 35% during the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2001 Fiscal Year. Excluding Char Mur, Rolling Meadows, Logan, Wingate and Ziegler which sold their properties and Buena Vista, Cedar Hill, Crossett, Eastwyck, Blue Ridge, Chaparral, Lafayette, Northwood, Oso Bay, Ardmore, Tarleton and Villa South in which the Partnership's interest was sold (collectively the "Sold Assets"), rental income increased approximately 3% during the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2001 Fiscal Year primarily due to rental increases at the Local Partnerships.
A gain on sale of properties and forgiveness of indebtedness was recorded in the 2002 Fiscal Year (see Notes 10 and 11, respectively, in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
Total expenses, excluding the Sold Assets, administrative and management and taxes and insurance, remained fairly consistent with a decrease of approximately 2% for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2001 Fiscal Year.
Administrative and management decreased approximately $1,079,000 for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2001 Fiscal Year. Excluding the Sold Assets, administrative and management decreased approximately $126,000 primarily due to a decrease in legal fees at the Partnership level.
Taxes and insurance decreased approximately $309,000 for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2001 Fiscal Year. Excluding the Sold Assets, taxes and insurance increased approximately $24,000, primarily due to increases of insurance premiums at one Local Partnership.
Administration and management-related parties, operating, repairs and maintenance, financial and depreciation expense decreased approximately $247,000, $787,000, $1,170,000, $1,163,000 and $785,000, respectively, for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2001 Fiscal Year. Excluding the Sold Assets, and Gateway East, Ltd. and Bay Village, for depreciation only, such expenses remained fairly consistent with (decreases) increases of approximately ($26,000), ($56,000), $23,000, $24,000 and $0, respectively, for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2001 Fiscal Year. Gateway East, Ltd. and Bay Village are not depreciated during the period because they are classified as assets held for sale.
2001 vs. 2000 - ------------- Rental income decreased by approximately 14% during the 2001 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2000 Fiscal Year. Excluding New Jersey, Westgate, Parktowne, Westwood, Pacific Palm, Char-Mur and Rolling Meadows which sold their properties and Buena Vista, Cedar Hill and Crossett in which the Partnership's interest was sold (collectively the "Sold Assets"), rental income increased approximately 6%
during the 2001 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2000 Fiscal Year primarily due to rental increases and decreases in vacancies at several Local Partnerships.
Other income decreased approximately $99,000 during the year ended February 28, 2002 as compared to 2001. Excluding the Sold Assets, other income increased approximately $62,000, primarily due to larger cash and cash equivalent balances earning interest at three Local Partnerships, increased laundry income at a fourth Local Partnership and a state grant received at a fifth Local Partnership.
A gain on sale of properties and forgiveness of indebtedness was recorded in the 2001 Fiscal Year (see Notes 10 and 11, respectively, in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data).
Total expenses, excluding Sold Assets, operating and taxes and insurance, remained fairly consistent with an increase of less than 2% for the 2001 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2000 Fiscal Year.
Operating decreased approximately $91,000 for the year ended February 28, 2002, as compared to 2001. Excluding the Sold Assets, operating increased approximately $294,000, primarily due to an increase in utility costs at five Local Partnerships.
Taxes and insurance decreased approximately $165,000 for the year ended February 28, 2002, as compared to 2001. Excluding the Sold Assets, taxes and insurance increased approximately $151,000, primarily due to increases of insurance premiums at three Local Partnerships.
Administrative and management, repairs and maintenance, financial and depreciation expense decreased approximately $444,000, $536,000, $813,000 and $469,000, respectively, for the 2001 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2000 Fiscal Year. Excluding the Sold Assets, and Zeigler Boulevard Ltd, Eastwyck III, Ltd., Wingate Associates, Ltd., Logan Square, Lafayette Square, Gateway East, Ltd, Bay Village and Northwood Apts. Ltd., for depreciation only, such expenses remained fairly consistent with decreases of approximately $11,000, $74,000, $12,000 and $9,000 respectively, for the 2001 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2000 Fiscal Year. Zeigler Boulevard Ltd., Eastwyck III, Ltd, Wingate Associates, Ltd., Logan Square, Lafayette Square, Gateway East, Ltd., Bay Village and Northwood Apartments, Ltd. are not depreciated during the period because they are classified as assets held for sale.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships - ---------------------------------------------------
Caddo Parish-Villas South, Ltd. ("Villas South") - ------------------------------------------------ Villas South filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on November 12, 1996 and the equivalent of a receiver was appointed. The bankruptcy case was subsequently dismissed on April 18, 2002. On January 2, 2003, the limited partnership interest in Villas South was transferred to the Local General Partners (See Note 10 in Item 8.).
Other - -----
The Partnership's investment, as a limited partner in the Local Partnerships, is subject to the risks incident to the potential losses arising from management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership's investments could also be adversely affected by poor economic conditions generally, which could increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and increased operating expenses, any or all of which could threaten the financial viability of one or more of the Local Partnerships.
There are also substantial risks associated with the operation of Apartment Complexes receiving Government Assistance. These include governmental regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more difficult to rent apartments in the complexes; difficulties in obtaining government approval for rent increases; limitations on the percentage of income which low and moderate-income tenants may pay as rent; the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to make the rental assistance payments it has
contracted to make; and that when the rental assistance contracts expire there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents in a Local Partnership's Apartment Complex.
The Local Partnerships are impacted by inflation in several ways. Inflation allows for increases in rental rates generally to reflect the impact of higher operating and replacement costs. Inflation generally does not impact the fixed long-term financing under which real property investments were purchased. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships adversely by increasing operating costs, particularly items such as fuel, utilities and labor. However, continued inflation should allow for appreciated values of the Local Partnerships' Apartment Complexes over a period of time as rental revenues and replacement costs continue to increase, the benefit of which may be recognized at the point in time when the Partnership is required to refinance or sell its investments in Local Partnerships in order to meet its obligations under the Purchase Money Notes.

To the Partners of Cambridge + Related Housing Properties Limited Partnership and Subsidiaries
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Cambridge + Related Housing Properties Limited Partnership and Subsidiaries as of February 28, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, partners' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2003, 2002 and 2001 (the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively). 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 did not audit the financial statements for 14 (2002 Fiscal Year), 19 (2001 Fiscal Year) and 24 (2000 Fiscal Year) subsidiary partnerships whose (losses) income constituted $(1,844,282), $(787,626) and $1,221,181 of the Partnership's net income during the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively, and whose assets constituted 90% (2002 Fiscal Year) and 85% (2001 Fiscal Year) of the Partnership's assets at February 28, 2003 and February 28, 2002, presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The financial statements for 14 (2002 Fiscal Year), 18 (2001 Fiscal Year) and 23 (2000 Fiscal Year) of these subsidiary partnerships were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these subsidiary partnerships, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors. The financial statements of one (2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years) of these subsidiary partnerships were unaudited.
We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based upon our audits, and the reports of the other auditors, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cambridge + Related Housing Properties Limited Partnership and Subsidiaries at February 28, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations, and their cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2003, 2002 and 2001, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 10 and 13, the Partnership is currently in the process of winding up its operations and disposing of its investments. As of February 28, 2003 the Partnership has disposed of forty-two of its forty-four investments. On March 11, 2003 one additional investment was sold and the remaining investment is under contract to be sold.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Partners of San Diego-Logan Square Gardens Company HUD Field Office Director San Diego, California San Diego, CA
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of San Diego-Logan Square Gardens Company (the Project), Project No. 129-44051-LD, as of December 31, 2000, and the related statements of profit and loss, changes in owners' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Project's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Project as of December 31, 2000 and the results of its operations, changes in owners' equity and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Project will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Notes to the Financial Statements, the Project is in a poor cash position. This condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in the footnotes to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards and the Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, we have also issued a report dated January 15, 2001 on our consideration of the Project's internal controls and reports dated January 15, 2001 on its compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the basic financial statements, specific requirements applicable to the major HUD programs, and specific requirements applicable to Fair Housing and Non-Discrimination. Those reports are an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information included in the report is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements of the Project. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

We have audited the accompanying special-purpose balance sheet of Char-Mur Apartments (the "Partnership") as of March 16, 2001, and the related special-purpose statements of income, partners' equity, and cash flows for the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the General Partner. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the General Partner, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying special-purpose financial statements have been prepared, as described in Note 1 to the financial statements, for the purpose of consolidation with those of Cambridge + Related Housing Properties Limited Partnership ("Cambridge"), and on the basis of accounting practices specified by the management of Cambridge. These financial statements are not intended to be a presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, such special-purpose financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of March 16, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended in conformity with basis of accounting described in Note 1.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 and 8 to the financial statements, the Partnership sold its sole revenue producing asset during the period and its liabilities exceed its assets by approximately $120,000 at March 16, 2001, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the partners of Char-Mur Apartments, management and Cambridge and should not be used for any other purpose.

CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2003
NOTE 1 - Organization
Cambridge + Related Housing Properties Limited Partnership, (the "Partnership") was formed pursuant to the laws of the State of Massachusetts on April 28, 1983. The Partnership invests, as a limited partner, in other limited partnerships (referred to herein as "Local Partnerships", "subsidiary" or "subsidiary partnerships"), each of which owns and operates an existing apartment complex (an "Apartment Complex") which is receiving some form of local, State or Federal assistance, including mortgage insurance, rental assistance payments, permanent mortgage financing and/or interest reduction payments ("Government Assistance").
The general partners of the Partnership are Government Assisted Properties, Inc. (the "Assisted General Partner") and Related Housing Programs Corporation (the "Related General Partner"), both of which are Delaware corporations affiliated with an affiliate of The Related Companies, L.P. ("Related"), a New York limited partnership, and Cambridge/Related Housing Associates Limited Partnership ("Cambridge Related Associates"), a Massachusetts limited partnership, (together, the "General Partners"). The general partners of Cambridge Related Associates are the Assisted General Partner and the Related General Partner.
Pursuant to the public offering, which occurred during 1983 through 1985, the Partnership received $50,190,000 of gross proceeds from 4,297 investors. No further issuance of Initial Limited Partnership Interests or Additional Limited Partnership Interests is anticipated.
As of February 28, 2003, the Partnership holds an interest in each of the remaining Local Partnerships, which own Apartment Complexes receiving Government Assistance. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003, the properties and the related assets and liabilities owned by three Local Partnerships were sold and the Partnership's Local Partnership Interest in nine other Local Partnerships were sold. Through the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003, the properties and the related assets and liabilities owned by eighteen Local Partnerships were sold and the Partnership's Local Partnership Interest in twenty-four other Local Partnerships were sold (See Note 10).
The terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") provide, among other things, that profits or losses, in general, be shared 99% by the limited partners and 1% by the General Partners.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and 14, 19 and 24 subsidiary partnerships in which the Partnership is a limited partner for the years ended February 28, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Through the rights of the Partnership and/or a General Partner, which General Partner has a contractual obligation to act on behalf of the Partnership to remove the general partner of the subsidiary partnerships and to approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership has a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary partnerships.
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's fiscal year ends on the last day of February. All subsidiaries have fiscal years ending December 31. Accounts of subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from January 1
CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2003
through the last day of February. The Partnership's fiscal year ends on the last day of February in order to allow adequate time for the subsidiaries' financial statements to be prepared and consolidated. The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest arise from contributions and distributions to the minority interest partners.
Losses attributable to minority interests which exceed the minority interests' investment in a subsidiary have been charged to the Partnership. No such losses have been aggregated for the years ended February 28, 2003, 2002 and 2001, (the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years), respectively. The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary is equal to the respective subsidiary's partners' equity less minority interest capital, if any.
b) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in earnings. The Partnership complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using discounted cash flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. These assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not depreciated. All property and equipment for subsidiary partnerships whose assets and liabilities are under sales contracts are classified as assets held for sale.
Through February 28, 2003, the Partnership has recorded approximately $8,889,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.
c) Interest Subsidies
Interest expense has been reduced by interest subsidies (Note 6).
d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments in short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2003
e) Income Taxes
No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the responsibility of the individual partners. For income tax purposes, the Partnership has a fiscal year ending December 31 (Note 9).
f) Loss Contingencies
The Partnership records loss contingencies as a charge to income when information becomes available which indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments (all of which are held for non-trading purposes) for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Certificates of Deposit, Cash-Restricted for Tenants' - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security Deposits and Mortgage Escrow Deposits - ---------------------------------------------- The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Mortgage Notes Payable - ---------------------- The fair value of mortgage notes payable is estimated, where practicable, based on the borrowing rate currently available for similar loans.
CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2003
The estimated fair values of the Partnership's mortgage notes payable are as follows:
(a) The mortgage notes payable are insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (the "HUD") primarily in accordance with Section 236 of the National Housing Act. New loans are no longer being insured in accordance with Section 236 and presently existing loans are subject to restrictions regarding prepayment. Management believes the estimation of fair value to be impracticable.
(b) For the reasons discussed in Note 11(b), it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these notes.
*The carrying amount of other assets and liabilities, except for related party liabilities, reported on the statement of financial position that require such disclosure approximate fair value. Regarding the fair value of the related party liabilities, it has been determined that fair value is not practicable to determine due to the unique nature, repayment terms and related conditions pertaining to these instruments.
NOTE 4 - Property and Equipment and Property and Equipment-Held for Sale
The components of property and equipment and their estimated useful lives are as follows:
Depreciation expense for the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years amounted to $352,194, $1,137,341 and $1,606,397, respectively.
CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2003
The components of property and equipment-held for sale are as follows:
NOTE 5 - Mortgage Escrow Deposits
Mortgage escrow deposits consist of the following:
CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2003
NOTE 6 - Mortgage Notes Payable
The mortgage notes are payable in aggregate monthly installments of approximately $38,000, including principal and interest at rates ranging from 7.0% to 9.0% per annum, through May 2013. Each subsidiary partnership's mortgage note payable is collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective subsidiary partnership, the assignment of certain subsidiary partnership's rents and leases and is without further recourse. These mortgage notes were eligible for interest rate subsidies under the terms of regulatory agreements with HUD. Accordingly, the subsidiary partnerships paid only that portion of the monthly payments that would be required if the interest rate was 1% per annum; the balance was subsidized under Section 236 of the National Housing Act.
Annual principal payment requirements for each of the next five fiscal years are as follows:
The mortgage agreements require monthly deposits to reserves for replacements aggregating approximately $32,000 and monthly deposits to escrow accounts for real estate taxes, insurance and other (Note 5).
NOTE 7 - Purchase Money Notes Payable
Nonrecourse purchase money notes (the "Purchase Money Notes") were issued to the selling partners of the Subsidiary Partnerships as part of the purchase price, and are secured only by the Partnership's interest in the Subsidiary Partnership to which the Purchase Money Note relates.
The Purchase Money Notes, which provide for simple interest, will not be in default if not less than 60% of the cash flow actually distributed to the Partnership by the corresponding Subsidiary Partnership (generated by the operations, as defined) is applied first to accrued interest and then to current interest thereon. As of February 28, 2003, the maturity dates of the Purchase Money Notes associated with the remaining properties owned by the Subsidiary Partnerships were extended through a fifth year. These are the final extensions for the Purchase Money Notes (see below). Any interest not paid currently accrues, without further interest thereon, through the extended due date of each of the Purchase Money Notes, respectively. Continued accrual of such interest without payment would impact the effective rate of the Purchase Money Notes, specifically by reducing the current effective interest rate of 9%. The exact effect is not determinable inasmuch as it is dependent on the actual future interest payments and ultimate repayment dates of the Purchase Money Notes. Unpaid interest of $3,669,010 (with respect to the two remaining notes) and $24,273,106 (with respect to the fourteen remaining notes) at February 28, 2003 and 2002, respectively, has been accrued and is included in the caption due to selling partners. In general, the interest on and the principal of each Purchase Money Note is also payable to the extent of the Partnership's actual receipt of
CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2003
proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the Apartment Complex, or in some cases the Local Partnership Interest to which the Purchase Money Note relates.
The Partnership was permitted to extend the term of the Purchase Money Notes for up to five additional years. In connection with such extensions, the Partnership incurred an extension fee of 1/2% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchase Money Notes. The Partnership sent an extension notice to each Purchase Money Note holder, pursuant to the Purchase Money Note, that it was extending the maturity date of such notes. However in certain cases, the Partnership did not pay the extension fee at that time, deferring such payment to the future. The two properties with Purchase Money Notes are now extended with maturity dates of August and October 2003. These are the final extensions for these Purchase Money Notes. Extension fees of $107,118 were accrued and added to the balance of these Purchase Money Notes.
The Partnership expects that upon final maturity it will be required to refinance or sell its investments in the Local Partnerships in order to pay the Purchase Money Notes and accrued interest thereon. Based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships, the prices realized on the sale of the Partnership's investment sold to date and the current economic conditions including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales will be sufficient to meet the outstanding balances. No assurance can be given that management's efforts will be successful in selling the Partnership's investment in the remaining property. The Purchase Money Notes are without personal recourse to either the Partnership or any of its partners and the sellers' recourse, in the event of non-payment, would be to foreclose on the Partnership's interests in the respective Local Partnerships.
Cash flow distributions aggregating $207,440, $71,144 and $196,814 were made to the Partnership in the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively. Of such distributions, $169,833, $56,426 and $118,246, respectively, was used to pay interest on the Purchase Money Notes. Distribution of proceeds from sales aggregating $8,994,812 and $289,581 were made to the Partnership in the 2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years, respectively, of which $7,123,995 and $286,080, respectively, was used to pay principal and interest on the Purchase Money Notes.
CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2003
NOTE 8 - Related Party Transactions
The costs incurred to related parties for the years ended February 28, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were as follows:
(a) After all other expenses of the Partnership are paid, an annual partnership management fee of up to .5% of invested assets is payable to the Partnership's general partners and affiliates. Partnership management fees have been charged to operations and are included in administrative and management-related parties' expenses. Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounting to approximately $1,976,000 and $1,759,000 were accrued and unpaid as of February 28, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
(b) The Partnership reimburses the General Partners and their affiliates for actual Partnership operating expenses incurred by the General Partners and their affiliates on the Partnership's behalf. The amount of reimbursement from the Partnership is limited by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Another affiliate of the General Partners performs asset monitoring for the Partnership. These services include site visits and evaluations of the subsidiary partnerships' performance.
(c) Property management fees paid by Local Partnerships to affiliates of the Local Partnerships amounted to approximately $123,155, $346,258 and $499,165 for the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively. Of such fees $0, $0 and $75,455 was paid to a company which is also an affiliate of the Related General Partner for the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively.
(d) Cambridge/Related Associates, a limited partner of the subsidiary partnerships, is entitled to receive a local administrative fee of up to $2,500 from each subsidiary partnership.
(e) The Partnership entered into an agreement with the local general partner of Parktowne Ltd. and Westwood Apartment Company Ltd., which provides for an annual incentive fee based on cash flow distributed from the respective properties. Such fee amount to $0, $0 and $7,605 for the years ended February 28, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2003
Cambridge/Related Associates has a .01% interest, as a limited partner, in each of the subsidiary partnerships.
Due to local general partners and affiliates at December 31, 2002 and 2001 includes operating advances of $33,423 and $8,423, respectively.
NOTE 9 - Income Taxes
A reconciliation of the financial statement net income to the income tax income for the Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries is as follows:
* As restated - see Note 12.
NOTE 10 - Sale of Properties
General - -------
The Partnership is currently in the process of winding up its operations and disposing of its investments. As of February 28, 2003, the Partnership has disposed of forty-two of its forty-four original investments. Subsequently, on March 11, 2003 one additional investment was sold. The remaining investment is under contract to be sold within the next several months. There can be no
CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2003
assurance that the Partnership will dispose of its last remaining investment or the amount of proceeds which may be received.
In order to facilitate an orderly disposition of the Partnership's assets, the Partnership formed two entities: Cambridge Liquidating Trust LLC ("Trust I"), a Massachusetts limited liability company which is owned 99.99% by the Partnership and .01% by affiliates of Related; and, Cambridge Liquidating Trust II ("Trust II"), a Massachusetts general partnership which is owned 99% by Cambridge Liquidating GP II, L.L.C. ("GP II") and 1% by Cambridge Liquidating GP I, L.L.C. ("GP I"). Both GP I and GP II are owned by the Partnership.
On December 30, 1998, the Partnership contributed its limited partnership interest in Bethany Glen Associates, Westwood, Ltd., Parktowne, Ltd., Rolling Meadows Apartments, Ltd., Buena Vista Apartments, Ltd. and Wingate Associates, Ltd. to Trust I. On December 31, 1998, the Partnership contributed its limited partnership interests in Grandview-Blue Ridge Manor Limited, Breckenridge-Chaparral Apartments II, Ltd., El Paso-Gateway East, Ltd., Albequerque-Lafayette Square Apartments, Ltd., Corpus Christi-Oso Bay Apartments, Ltd., Westgate Associates Limited, San Diego-Logan Square Gardens Co., Ardmore-Rolling Meadows of Ardmore, Ltd., Fort Worth-Northwoods Apartments, Ltd. and Stephenville-Tarleton Arms Apartments, Ltd. to Trust II. In each case, the interests were contributed subject to each respective Purchase Money Note. The contribution did not involve any consideration being paid to the Partnership, therefore, there was no tax effect to the limited partners of the Partnership. As of February 28, 2003, all Local Partnerships named above were sold except Gateway, which was subsequently sold on March 11, 2003.
Information Regarding Disposition - ---------------------------------

b) Purchase Money Notes
As part of the purchase price of its investment in the Local Partnerships, the Partnership issued approximately $61,029,000 of Purchase Money Notes. As of the end of the 2002 Fiscal Year, unpaid accrued interest on the Purchase Money Notes amounted to approximately $3,699,010. The principal of and all accrued interest on the Purchase Money Notes is due at maturity. The Partnership was permitted to extend the term of the Purchase Money Notes for up to five additional years. In connection with such extensions, the Partnership incurred an extension fee of 1/2% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of the assets. The Partnership sent an extension notice to each Purchase Money Note holder that pursuant to the note, it was extending the maturity. However, in certain cases the Partnership did not pay the extension fee at that time, deferring such payment to the future. The holders of the Note could argue that until the fee is paid the Note has not been properly extended.
c) Uninsured Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various banks. Accounts at each bank are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $100,000. As of February 28, 2003, uninsured cash and cash equivalents and mortgage escrow deposits approximated $464,000.
NOTE 12 - Prior Period Adjustment
During the quarter ended November 30, 2001, extension fees in connection with the Purchase Money Notes were overaccrued by $671,850. Such extension fees were capitalized and amortized over the period of extension, and during the fiscal year end February 28, 2002 the Partnership amortized $335,925 of such extension fees resulting in net income being understated for that year. To correct the misstatement Partners' deficit has been increased by $335,925 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2002
NOTE 13 - Subsequent Event
On March 11, 2003, the property and the related assets and liabilities of Gateway East, Ltd.

CAMBRIDGE + RELATED HOUSING PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP SCHEDULE III REAL ESTATE AND ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION Partnership Property Pledged as Collateral FEBRUARY 28, 2003
(a) Properties are subject to mortgage notes and purchase money notes, as shown above.
(b) No carrying costs have been capitalized since all properties were acquired after completion of construction.
(c) Since all properties were acquired as operating properties, depreciation is computed using primarily the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives determined by the Partnership date of acquisition.
(d) Furniture and fixtures, included in building and improvements, are depreciated primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 15 years.
(e) These amounts differ from the amounts presented in the audited financial statements of these subsidiary partnerships due to a difference in accounting between these partnerships and the other forty-one subsidiary partnerships. This difference, which is significant to the individual subsidiary partnerships, relates to discounts on the respective mortgages payable and the related acquisition cost and current carrying value of property and equipment.
Geographic Locations: (1) Vermont, (2) New Hampshire, (3) Maine, (4) Tennessee, (5) Oklahoma, (6) Colorado, (7) Michigan, (8) California, (9) Massachusetts, (10) Texas, (11) Missouri, (12) Arizona, (13) Mississippi, (14) Alabama, (15) South Carolina, (16) New Mexico, (17) Louisiana, (18) Arkansas
At the time the local partnerships were acquired by Cambridge + Related Housing Properties Limited Partnership, the entire purchase price paid by Cambridge + Related Housing Properties Limited Partnership was pushed down to the local partnerships as property and equipment with an offsetting credit to capital. Since the projects were in the construction phase at the time of acquisition, the capital accounts were insignificant at the time of purchase. Therefore, there are no material differences between the original cost basis for tax and GAAP.
