Item 1. Business
General - -------
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 17, 1988. The General Partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Related General Partner"), and Liberty GP III Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Liberty General Partner", and together with the Related General Partner, the "General Partners"). The general partner of the Related General Partner is Related Credit Properties III Inc., a Delaware corporation. On November 17, 2003, CharterMac acquired CharterMac Capital, LLC ("CharterMac Capital") (formerly known as Related Capital Company, LLC), which is the parent of RCC Manager LLC, the sole shareholder of Related Credit Properties III Inc. Pursuant to the acquisition, CharterMac acquired controlling interests in the General Partners. This acquisition did not affect the Partnership or its day-to-day operations, as the majority of the General Partners' management team remained unchanged.
On November 8, 2005, CharterMac announced that Stuart J. Boesky would step down as Chief Executive Officer and trustee of CharterMac. Upon his stepping down, which was effective on November 15, 2005, he also resigned from his position as Senior Vice President of the Related General Partner and Executive Vice President of the Liberty General Partner. Mr. Boesky will stay on as a consultant to CharterMac for the next year in order to ensure a smooth transition. On March 14, 2006, CharterMac's Board of Trustees named Marc D. Schnitzer its Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Schnitzer replaced Stephen M. Ross, who had served as interim Chief Executive Officer since Stuart J. Boesky resigned in November of 2005. Mr. Schnitzer also replaced Mr. Boesky as Senior Vice President of the Related General Partner and Executive Vice President of the Liberty General Partner.
On May 2, 1989, the Partnership commenced a public offering (the "Offering") of Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs") representing assignments of limited partnership interests in the Partnership ("Limited Partnership Interests").
As of March 30, 1990, (the date on which the Partnership held the final closing of the sale of BACs and on which the Offering was terminated), the Partnership had received $139,101,500 of gross proceeds of the Offering from 9,082 investors.
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 one or more leveraged low-income multifamily residential complexes ("Apartment Complexes" or "Properties") that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit ("Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and some of which may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit ("Historic Tax Credit"). Some of the Apartment Complexes benefit from one or more other forms of federal or state housing assistance. The Partnership's investment in each Local Partnership represents from 27% to 98% of the partnership interests in the Local Partnership. The Partnership does not anticipate making any additional investments. As of March 31, 2006, the Partnership has disposed of nineteen of its 62 original Properties. See Item 2, Properties, below.
Liberty Associates IV L.P. ("Liberty Associates") is the special limited partner in all of the remaining Local Partnerships. Liberty Associates has certain rights and obligations in its role as special limited partner which permit this affiliate of the Partnership to exercise control over the management and policies of the Local Partnerships.
The investment objectives of the Partnership are to:
1. Entitle qualified BACs holders to substantial Tax Credits over the period of the Partnership's entitlement to claim such Tax Credits (for each Property, generally ten years from the date of investment or, if later, the date the Property is placed in service; referred to herein as the "Credit Period") with respect to each Property.
2. Preserve and protect the Partnership's capital.
3. Participate in any capital appreciation in the value of the Properties and provide distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds upon the disposition of Properties.
4. Provide cash distributions when available from the operations of the Properties, current taxes on which are expected to be substantially deferred.
5. Allocate passive losses to individual BACs holders to offset passive income that they may realize from rental real estate investments and other passive activities, and allocate passive losses to corporate BACs holders to offset business income.
Each of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has acquired an interest has been allocated by the relevant state credit agency the authority to recognize Tax Credits during the Credit Period provided that the Local Partnership satisfies the rent restriction, minimum set-aside and other requirements for recognition of the Tax Credits at all times during the 15-year period commencing at the beginning of the Credit Period (the "Compliance Period"). Once a Local Partnership has become eligible to recognize Tax Credits, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an event of "recapture" if (1) the Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements , (2) there is a decrease in the qualified basis of the Property, or (3) there is a reduction in the taxpayer's interest in the Property at any time during the Compliance Period. None of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has acquired an interest has suffered an event of recapture.
The Tax Credits are attached to a Local Partnership for the Credit Period and are transferable with the Property during the entirety of such ten year period. If trends in the real estate market warranted the sale of a Property, the remaining Tax Credits would transfer to the new owner, thereby adding value to the Property on the market. However such value declines each year and is not included in the financial statement carrying amount. The Credit Periods expired at various times through December 31, 2003 with respect to the Local Partnerships depending upon when the Credit Period commenced. However, each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax Credit requirements until
the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits. The Compliance Periods are scheduled to expire at various times through December 31, 2008.
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 the Property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using the discounted cash flow valuation method). Through March 31, 2006, the Partnership has recorded approximately $23,937,000 as an aggregate loss on impairment of assets or reduction to estimated fair value.
While the value of the remaining Tax Credits is a factor in calculating fair value, the expiration of the Credit Period, in and of itself, is not the only factor in determining whether there is an impairment and generally does not have any adverse impact on the fair value of the Local Partnerships.
The Partnership has fulfilled its primary objective of generating Tax Credits, which expire in 2006. The Partnership generated Tax Credits of approximately $3,000, $69,000 and $69,000 during the tax years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Partnership continues to meet its objective of allocating passive losses to individual BACs holders to offset passive income that they may realize from rental real estate investments and other passive activities, and allocating passive losses to corporate BACs holders to offset business income.
Cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships have been relatively immaterial. Management does not expect that the distributions received from the Local Partnerships will be sufficient to permit cash distributions to BACs holders. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to BACs holders other than distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds. The Partnership does not anticipate being able to make distributions to return to BACs holders their original capital contributions.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will continue to achieve any of its investment objectives in the future.
Certain Subsidiary Partnerships are the beneficiaries of certain subsidy agreements pursuant to which the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") subsidizes the amount of rent that the Subsidiary Partnership earns. Pursuant to those subsidy agreements, the Subsidiary Partnerships are subject to HUD restrictions which limit annual cash distributions to partners and restrict the Subsidiary Partnerships from selling or otherwise liquidating their assets during the period that the agreement with HUD is in existence without HUD's approval.
In order for certain Subsidiary Partnerships to qualify for the section 421A program ("Section 421A Program") and the inclusionary zoning program ("Inclusionary Zoning Program"), they must comply with certain requirements by local authorities as to the level of rent that may be charged to tenants, the tenants' incomes, the obligation to operate the property in accordance with rent stabilization guidelines, and restrictions on the rate at which housing units may be released from such guidelines.
Also, certain Subsidiary Partnerships obtain grants from local authorities to fund construction costs of the Properties and in order to qualify must maintain the low-income nature of the Property, among other provisions.
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can also be affected by poor economic conditions generally. However, no more than 19% of the Properties are located in any single state. There are also substantial risks associated with owning Properties receiving government assistance, such as the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owner's equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially liquidate its investments in Subsidiary Partnerships during the period that the subsidy agreements are in existence without HUD's approval. Furthermore, there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental assistance contracts expire.
Sales of Underlying Properties/Local Partnership Interests - ----------------------------------------------------------
The Partnership is currently in the process of disposing of its investments. It is anticipated that this process will take a number of years. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in nine Local Partnerships, the property and related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships and transferred the deed to the property and related assets and liabilities at one Local Partnership. Through March 31, 2006, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interest in fourteen Local Partnerships, the property and the related assets and liabilities of four Local Partnerships and transferred the deed to the property and the related assets and liabilities at one Local Partnership. In addition, as of March 31, 2006, the Partnership has entered into contracts to sell three additional Local Partnerships (see Note 11 in Item 8). Subsequently, the Partnership sold a building in one of its Local Partnerships, the property and the related assets and liabilities of a Local Partnership and entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the property and the related assets and liabilities of one additional Local Partnership (see Note 16 in Item 8). There may be no assurance as to whether or when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investment.
On March 28, 2006, the general partner of Stop 22 Limited Partnership ("Stop 22") (for each Local Partnership, the "Local General Partner") purchased the Partnership's remaining interest in Stop 22.

Therefore, Michigan Rural is classified as an asset held for sale and is included in discontinued operations as of March 31, 2006.
Segments - -------- The Partnership operates in one segment, which is the investment in multi-family residential properties. Financial information about this segment is set forth in Item 8 hereof.
Competition - ----------- The real estate business is highly competitive and substantially all of the Properties in which the Partnership has acquired an interest are subject to active competition from similar properties in their respective vicinities. In addition, various other limited partnerships may, in the future, be formed by the General Partners and/or their affiliates to engage in businesses which may be competitive with the Partnership.
Employees - --------- The Partnership does not have any direct employees. All services are performed for the Partnership by its General Partners and their affiliates. The General Partners receive compensation in connection with such activities as set forth in Items 11 and 13 hereof. 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 of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement").
Item 1A.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can also be affected by poor economic conditions generally. However, no more than 19% of the Properties are located in any single state. There are also substantial risks associated with owning Properties receiving government assistance, such as the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owner's equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially liquidate its investments in Subsidiary Partnerships during the period that the subsidy agreements are in existence without HUD's approval. Furthermore, there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental assistance contracts expire.
There also are substantial risks associated with the operation of apartment complexes receiving government assistance. These risks stem from governmental regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more difficult to rent apartments in the Apartment 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 the possibility 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.

Item 2. Properties
As of March 31, 2006 the Partnership held a 98% limited partnership interest in 41 Local Partnerships, a 49% limited partnership interest in one Local Partnership (the other 49% limited partnership interest is held by an affiliate of the Local General Partner) and a 26.46% limited partnership interest in an additional Local Partnership (the other 71.54% limited partnership interest is held by an affiliate of the Partnership with the same management); together these 43 Local Partnerships own 46 Apartment Complexes. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in nine Local Partnerships, the property and the related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships and transferred the deed to the property and the related assets and liabilities of one Local Partnership. Through the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership has sold the property and the related assets and liabilities of four Local Partnerships, its limited partnership interests in fourteen Local Partnerships and transferred the deed to the property and the related assets and liabilities of one Local Partnership. Set forth below is a schedule of these Local Partnerships including certain information concerning their respective Apartment Complexes (the "Local Partnership Schedule"). Further information concerning these Local Partnerships and their Properties, including any encumbrances affecting the Properties, may be found in Item 15, Schedule III.
(a) Consists of four Apartment Complexes located throughout Michigan. Subsequently, on April 14, 2006 one of the four Apartment Complexes was sold.
(b) The Partnership's limited partnership interest was sold during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 (see Note 10 in Item 8).
(c) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 (see Note 10 in Item 8).
(d) The Partnership's limited partnership interest was sold during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 (see Note 10 in Item 8).
(e) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (see Note 10 in Item 8).
(f) The Partnership's limited partnership interest was sold during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (see Note 10 in Item 8).
(g) The deed to the property and the related assets and liabilities was transferred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (see Note 10 in Item 8).
(h) The property was affected by Hurricane Katrina during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The property is currently closed (see Note 12 in Item 8).
The General Partners have generally required, in connection with the Partnership's investments in the Local Partnerships, that the Local General Partners undertake an obligation to fund operating deficits (up to a stated maximum amount) of the Local Partnership during a limited period of time following rent stabilization ("Guarantee Period"). In each case, the operating deficits have been funded by operating loans which will not bear interest and will be repaid only out of 50% of available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds. The gross amount of the operating deficit guarantee agreements aggregated approximately $18,700,000, of which all have expired as of March 31, 2006. In cases where the General Partners deem it appropriate, the obligations of a Local General Partner under the operating deficit and/or rent-up guarantees are secured by letters of credit and/or cash escrow deposits.
The Tax Credits are available for a ten-year period which commences when the Property is occupied by qualified tenants. However, the annual Tax Credit available in the year in which the Apartment Complex was first occupied by qualified tenants must be prorated based upon the months remaining in the year after the Apartment Complex was placed in service. The amount of the annual Tax Credit not available in the first year will be available in the eleventh year. In certain cases, the Partnership acquired its interest in a Local Partnership after the Local Partnership had placed its Apartment Complex in service. In these cases, the Partnership was allocated Tax Credits only beginning in the month following the month in which the Partnership acquired its interest. In addition, Tax Credits allocated in any prior period may not be claimed by the Partnership. The Partnership has also acquired Local Partnership interests in which some of the Local Partnerships owning historic complexes qualify for the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit. The amount of the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit is generally 20% of qualified rehabilitation expenditures and is available in its entirety in the year the rehabilitated building is placed in service or, under certain circumstances, in the year in which the rehabilitation expenditure is made. As of March 31, 2006, the Credit Periods for all the Properties have expired; however, each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax Credit requirements until the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits. The Compliance Periods are scheduled to expire at various times through December 31, 2008.
All leases are generally for periods not exceeding one to two years and no tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage in any single Apartment Complex.
Rent from commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies) comprises less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Partnership. Maximum rents for the residential units are determined annually by HUD and reflect increases/decreases in consumer price indexes in various geographic areas. Market conditions, however, determine the amount of rent actually charged.
Management annually reviews the physical state of the Properties and suggests to the respective Local General Partner budget improvements, which improvements are generally funded from cash flow from operations or release of replacement reserve escrows to the extent available.
Management annually reviews the insurance coverage of the Properties and believes such coverage is adequate.
See Item 1, Business, above for the general competitive conditions to which the Properties described above are subject.
Real estate taxes are calculated using rates and assessed valuations determined by the township or city in which the Property is located. Such taxes have approximated 1% of the aggregate cost of the Properties as shown in Schedule III to the financial statements.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Security Holder Matters And Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Partnership has issued 27,820.3 Limited Partnership Interests, each representing a $5,000 capital contribution to the Partnership, for aggregate gross proceeds of $139,101,500. All of the issued and outstanding Limited Partnership Interests have been issued to Liberty Credit Assignor III Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn issued 139,101.5 BACs to the purchasers thereof for an aggregate purchase price of $139,101,500. Each BAC represents all of the economic and virtually all of the ownership rights attributable to one-fifth of a Limited Partnership Interest held by the Assignor Limited Partner. BACs may be converted into Limited Partnership Interests at no cost to the holder (other than the payment of transfer costs not to exceed $100), but Limited Partnership Interests so acquired are not thereafter convertible into BACs.
Neither the BACs nor the Limited Partnership Interests are traded on any established trading market. The Partnership does not intend to include the BACs for quotation on NASDAQ or for listing on any national or regional stock exchange or any other established securities market. The Revenue Act of 1987 contained provisions which have an adverse impact on investors in "publicly traded partnerships." Accordingly, the General Partners have imposed limited restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the Limited Partnership Interests in secondary market transactions. Implementation of these restrictions should prevent a public trading market from developing and may adversely affect the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her investment quickly. It is expected that such procedures will remain in effect until such time, if ever, as further revision of the Revenue Act of 1987 may permit the Partnership to lessen the scope of the restrictions.
As of June 8, 2006 the Partnership has approximately 9,103 registered holders of an aggregate of 139,101.5 BACs.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an aggregate capital contribution of $2,000, are held by the two General Partners.
Certain Subsidiary Partnerships are subject to HUD restrictions which limit annual cash distributions to partners and restrict the Subsidiary Partnerships from selling or otherwise liquidating their assets during the period that the agreement with HUD is in existence without HUD's approval.
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement there are no material restrictions that restrict the ability of the Partnership to make distributions. However, the Partnership has made no distributions to BACs holders as of March 31, 2006. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to BACs holders other than distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds upon the disposition of Properties.
Transfer Procedures - ------------------- The Partnership from time to time receives requests by unit holders and others to transfer BACs and/or Limited Partnership Interests. Such requests may occur in connection with tender offers for the Partnership's units. Such requests implicate the Partnership's policies and procedures concerning transfers generally and tender offers in particular, which were adopted by the Partnership pursuant to the terms of its Partnership Agreement, to ensure compliance with applicable law, avoid adverse tax consequences for the Partnership and its investors, and preserve the Partnership's advantageous tax status.
In prior years, the Partnership relied on the 5% safe harbor established by Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations to avoid being characterized as a "publicly-traded partnership" that is taxed as a corporation. The 5% safe harbor, however, expired and is no longer available as of December 31, 2005. Accordingly, the Partnership now relies on a 2% safe harbor established by another IRS regulation to avoid being characterized as a "publicly-traded partnership" that is taxed as a corporation.
A brief summary of certain of the Partnership's key policies, practices and requirements with respect to transfers and tender offers is as follows:
o No transfer (whether for substitution, assignment or otherwise) is effective or binding on the Partnership unless and until it is approved by the General Partners.
o No transfer will be approved unless the transferor and transferee submit complete and properly executed forms of the Partnership's own transfer documentation. The Partnership does not accept forms of transfer documentation other than its own and does not accept signatures made by power of attorney in lieu of original signatures by each of the transferors and transferees.
o The Partnership will not approve transfers that in the cumulative aggregate for any tax year exceed the IRS 2% safe harbor, unless a financially responsible person provides the Partnership and its partners with (i) an indemnity (in form and substance in all ways acceptable to the General Partners) for all liability (including, without limitation, any adverse tax consequences) arising from or relating to exceeding the 2% safe harbor and (ii) a legal opinion (in form and substance in all ways acceptable to the General Partners) that there will be no adverse tax consequences to the Partnership and its partners from exceeding the 2% safe harbor.
o It order to avoid the undesirable situation of one or more tender offers consuming the entire safe harbor limitation early in the tax year and leaving the Partnership's remaining investors with no liquidity opportunity for the rest of that tax year, the Partnership restricts the cumulative aggregate total of transfers made pursuant to all tender offers to 1.5% of its outstanding units in each tax year, unless a financially responsible person conducting such tender offer provides the Partnership with an acceptable indemnity and legal opinion of the type described above. At the end of each tax year, the General Partners, in its discretion, may allow the cumulative total number of transfers (including those by tender offer) to reach the 2% safe harbor limit.
o The Partnership requires that all tender offers for its units be conducted in accordance with all applicable law including, without limitation, the federal securities laws.
The foregoing is solely a summary of the Partnership's policies, requirements and practices with respect to transfers and tender offers. More complete information, including a copy of the Partnership's transfer documentation package, may be obtained from the Partnership.
Item 6.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The information set forth below presents selected financial data of the Partnership from the last five fiscal years. Additional financial information is set forth in the audited financial statements in Item 8 hereof.
* Reclassified for comparative purposes. ** As restated (see Note 15 in Item 8).
During the year ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, total assets and liabilities decreased primarily due to a decrease in property and equipment and mortgage notes payable resulting from the sale of Local Partnerships. During the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, total assets decreased primarily due to depreciation, partially offset by net additions to property and equipment. During the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, total liabilities increased primarily due to the accrual of principal and interest payments at one of the Local Partnerships along with the increase in obligations at the remaining Local Partnerships.
Item 7.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources - -------------------------------
Through March 31, 2006, the Partnership had originally invested approximately $109,000,000 (not including acquisition fees) of the net proceeds of its Offering in 62 Local Partnerships, of which approximately $68,000 remains to be paid including approximately $58,000 held in escrow. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in nine Local Partnerships, the property and the related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships and transferred the deed to the property and the related assets and liabilities at one Local Partnership. Through the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership has sold the property and the related assets and liabilities of four Local Partnerships, its limited partnership interest in fourteen Local Partnerships and transferred the deed to the property and the related assets and liabilities at one Local Partnership (see Note 10 in Item 8). In addition, as of March 31, 2006, the Partnership entered into contracts to sell three additional Local Partnerships (see Note 11 in Item 8). Subsequently, the Partnership sold a building in one of its Local Partnerships, the property and the related assets and liabilities of a Local Partnership and entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the property and the related assets and liabilities of one additional Local Partnership (see Note 16 in Item 8).
Short-Term - ----------
During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership's primary sources of funds included: (i) working capital reserves; (ii) interest earned on the working capital reserves; (iii) cash distributions from operations of the Local Partnerships; and (iv) sales proceeds and distributions. Such funds are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership but are not expected to be significant.
For the year ended March 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership increased approximately $1,835,000. This increase was attributable to cash provided by operating activities ($174,000), net proceeds from sale of properties ($3,818,000), an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities from deferred revenue on sale of limited partnership interests ($2,731,000), an increase in advances from debt guarantor ($900,000) and a net increase in due to Local General Partners and affiliates relating to investing activities ($69,000), which exceeded a decrease in capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($136,000), net repayments on mortgage notes ($4,475,000), an increase in deferred costs ($60,000), acquisition of property and equipment ($1,082,000) and an increase in cash held in escrow relating to investing activities ($103,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash provided by operating activities is depreciation and amortization ($9,182,000), gain on sale of properties ($5,064,000), and an increase in due to debt guarantor in the amount of $3,360,000.
Total expenses for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest and general and administrative-related parties, totaled $14,790,983, $14,602,629 and $14,178,883, respectively.
Accounts payable as of March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $6,939,856 and $5,868,610, respectively. Accounts payable are short term liabilities which are expected to be paid from operating cash flows, working capital balances at the Local Partnership level, local general partner advances and in certain circumstances advances from the Partnership. Because the provisions of the secondary loans defer the payment of accrued interest of the respective Local Partnerships, the Partnership believes it (and the applicable Local Partnerships) has sufficient liquidity and ability to generate cash and to meet existing and known or reasonably likely future cash requirements over both the short and long term.
Accrued interest payable as of March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $17,923,357 and $17,806,060, respectively. Accrued interest payable represents the accrued interest on all mortgage loans, which include primary and secondary loans. Certain secondary loans have provisions such that interest is accrued but not payable until a future date. The Partnership anticipates the payment of accrued interest on the secondary loans (which make up the majority of the accrued interest payable amount and which have been accumulating since the Partnership's investment in the respective Local Partnership) will be made from future refinancings or sales proceeds of the respective Local Partnerships. In addition, each Local Partnership's mortgage notes are collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective Local Partnership, and are without further recourse to the Partnership.
The Partnership has an unconsolidated working capital reserve of approximately $2,433,000 at March 31, 2006.
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounted to approximately $11,822,000 and $11,045,000 and were accrued and unpaid at March 31, 2006 and 2005. Without the General Partners' continued accrual without payment of these fees and expense reimbursements, the Partnership will not be in a position to meet its obligations. The General Partners have allowed for the accrual without payment of these amounts but are under no obligation to continue to do so.
Cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships, as well as the working capital reserves referred to above, will be used towards the future operating expenses of the Partnership. During the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the amounts received from operations of the Local Partnerships were approximately $902,000, $399,000 and $330,000, respectively. Additionally, during the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Partnership received approximately $1,623,000, $0 and $0 of distributions from the sale of properties and approximately $835,000, $841,000 and $0 in proceeds from the sale of Local Partnerships' limited partnership interest.
Long-Term - ---------
The Partnership is not expected to have access to additional sources of financing, and in particular will not have the ability to assess BACs holders for additional capital contributions to provide capital if needed by the Partnership. Accordingly, if circumstances arise that cause a Local Partnership to require capital in addition to that contributed by the Partnership and any equity of the Local General Partner, the only sources from which such capital needs will be able to be satisfied (other than the limited reserves available at the Partnership level) will be additional third party debt financing (which may not be available if, as expected, the Property owned by the Local Partnership is already substantially leveraged or, as in the case of certain Properties, the incurrence of third party debt is not permitted) or additional equity contributions of the Local General Partner or other equity sources (which could adversely affect the Partnership's interest in operating cash flow and/or proceeds of sale or refinancing of the Property and result in adverse tax consequences to the BACs holders). There can be no assurance that any of such
sources would be readily available in sufficient proportions to fund the capital requirements of the Local Partnerships in question, particularly if the residual value of a Property is uncertain. If such sources are not available, such Local Partnership would risk foreclosure on its Property if it was unable to renegotiate the terms of its first mortgage and any other debt with the lenders thereof. The risks associated with the need of such Local Partnership to refinance its underlying first mortgage debt are exacerbated by the probability that the term of certain favorable assistance programs from which a Local Partnership may benefit will expire prior to the end of the Compliance Period with respect to such Local Partnership's Property.
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. However, the Partnership's loss of its investment in a Local Partnership may also result in recapture of Tax Credits if the investment is lost before the expiration of the Compliance Period.
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. The portfolio is diversified by the location of the Properties around the United States so that if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the remaining Properties in the portfolio may be experiencing upswings. However, the geographic diversifications of the portfolio may not protect against a general downturn in the national economy.
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 Partnership's accounting policies included in Note 2 in Item 8.
Critical Accounting Policies - ----------------------------
Property and Equipment - ----------------------
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest and any other costs incurred in acquiring such property and equipment. 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 No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"). 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. 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. Through March 31, 2006, the Partnership has recorded approximately $23,937,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the results of discontinued operations are reported as a separate component of income before extraordinary items on the consolidated statements of operations. Discontinued operations include the results of operations and any gain or loss recognized for Local Partnerships that have been disposed of or are held for sale. A gain or loss recognized on the disposal is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Adjustments to amounts previously reported in operations that are directly related to the disposal of a Local Partnership are reclassified in the current period as discontinued operations for comparability purposes. Assets and liabilities of a Local Partnership that are classified as held for sale are presented separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the consolidated balance sheets.
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. Such assets would be classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not depreciated. Property and equipment that are held for sale are included in discontinued operations. There are three assets classified as property and equipment-held for sale as of March 31, 2006 (see Note 11 in Item 8).
Revenue Recognition - -------------------
Rental income is earned primarily under standard residential operating leases and is typically due the first day of each month, but can vary by property due to the terms of the tenant leases. Rental income is recognized when earned and as rents become due and charged to tenants' accounts receivable if not received by the due date. Rental payments received in advance of the due date are deferred until earned. Rental subsidies are recognized as rental income during the month in which it is earned.
Other revenues are recorded when earned and consist of the following items: Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances and cash held in escrow balances, income from forfeited security deposits, late charges, laundry and vending income, and other rental related miscellaneous items.
Other revenues from operations include the following amounts at both the Partnership and Local Partnership level:
* Reclassified for comparative purposes.
Other revenues from discontinued operations include the following amounts at both the Partnership and Local Partnership level:
* Reclassified for comparative purposes.
Income Taxes - ------------
The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any federal income taxes. Net income or loss generated by the Partnership is passed through to the partners and is required to be reported by them. The Partnership may be subject to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates. For income tax purposes, the Partnership has a fiscal year ending December 31 (see Note 9 in Item 8).
Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations - --------------------------------------------- The following table summarizes the Partnership's commitments from operations as of March 31, 2006 to make future payments under its debt agreements and other contractual obligations.
(a) The mortgage notes, which are collateralized by land and buildings, are payable in aggregate monthly installments of approximately $604,000, including principal and interest at rates varying from 0% to 11.38% per annum, through the year 2044. Each Subsidiary Partnership's mortgage note payable is without further recourse and is collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective Subsidiary Partnership and the assignment of such Subsidiary Partnership's rent and leases.
(b) R.P.P. Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership ("River Place") has experienced significant losses from operations and has been unable to generate sufficient cash flow to make the required principal and interest payments under its loan agreements. River Place's debt guarantor, General Retirement System of the City of Detroit ("GRS"), entered into an agreement with the Michigan State Housing Authority (the "Authority") to purchase these loans upon the occurrence of certain events. GRS has declared River Place in default under its obligation to make the required payments. During 1996, GRS agreed to waive its right of foreclosure under the mortgages, through February 1, 2006. GRS has not granted an extention to its waiver to foreclose beyond February 1, 2006 and can exercise its right to foreclose at any time. GRS has made advances for debt service and has incurred certain fees relating to these loans totaling $58,413,027, including accrued interest on such advances at a rate of 15%. Such amount is included in the amount due to debt guarantor on the balance sheet.
(c) Two of the Subsidiary Partnerships are leasing the land on which the Properties are located, for terms ranging from 50 to 99 years. The leases on these Properties are noncancelable. At December 31, 2005, those Subsidiary Partnerships were committed to minimum future annual rentals on the leases aggregating approximately $66,000 for each of the next five years, and $2,530,000 total thereafter.
(d) See Note 8(C) (i) in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
(e) See Note 8(C) (ii) in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The following table summarizes the Partnership's commitments from discontinued operations as of March 31, 2006 to make future payments under its debt agreements and other contractual obligations.
(a) The mortgage notes, which are collateralized by land and buildings, are payable in aggregate monthly installments of approximately $120,000, including principal and interest at rates varying from 1% to 11.5% per annum, through the year 2040. Each Subsidiary Partnership's mortgage note payable is without further recourse and is collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective Subsidiary Partnership and the assignment of such Subsidiary Partnership's rent and leases.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements - ------------------------------ The Partnership has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
New Accounting Pronouncements - -----------------------------
In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ("FAS 154"). FAS 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. FAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle. FAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate, and correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a restatement. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Since the Partnership's financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, the Partnership does not expect the adoption of FAS 154 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights ("EITF No. 04-5"). EITF No. 04-5 replaces counterpart requirements in Statement of Position 78-9, which provides guidance on accounting for investments in real estate ventures and limited partners. Under EITF No. 04-5, the general partner's control would be overcome if the limited partners have either (i) "kick-out rights" - the right to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner "without cause" or (ii) "participating rights" - the right to effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnership's business. The kick-out rights and the participating rights must be substantive in order to overcome the general partner's control. EITF No. 04-5 is now effective. Since the Partnership's financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, the adoption of EITF No. 05-4 has not had a material effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations - ---------------------
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 ("Fiscal 2005", "Fiscal 2004" and "Fiscal 2003", respectively).
The majority of the Local Partnerships' income continues to be in the form of rental income, with the corresponding expenses (excluding loss on impairment of assets) being divided among operations, depreciation and mortgage interest.
The loss from operations for the 2005, 2004 and 2003 Fiscal Years totaled $11,624,601, $11,376,480 and $11,462,306, respectively.
2005 vs. 2004 - -------------
Rental income increased approximately 2% for Fiscal 2005 as compared to Fiscal 2004, primarily due to decreased vacancies at one Local Partnership and increased rental rates at the other Local Partnerships, offset by a decrease in rents received at one Local Partnership due to its closing from damage caused by Hurricane Katrina.
Other income decreased approximately $141,000 for Fiscal 2005 as compared to Fiscal 2004, primarily due to one Local Partnership modifying its primary mortgage loan during Fiscal 2004. The primary mortgage was reduced in the amount of $1,500,000 with a corresponding increase in the support loan. In addition, the note holder forgave all the delinquent interest and related fees associated with the mortgage amounting to approximately $293,000 which is included in other income during Fiscal 2004. This decrease in other income was offset by a tax rebate received at one Local Partnership, an increase in laundry and late fee income at a second Local Partnership and an increase in interest earned at the Partnership level due to a larger cash balance earning interest during Fiscal 2005.
Total expenses remained fairly consistent with an increase of approximately 1% for Fiscal 2005 as compared to Fiscal 2004.
2004 vs. 2003 - -------------
Rental income increased approximately 1% for Fiscal 2004 as compared to Fiscal 2003, primarily due to rental rate increases at the Local Partnerships offset by increased vacancies at one Local Partnership.
Other income increased approximately $329,000 for Fiscal 2004 as compared to Fiscal 2003, primarily due to one Local Partnership modifying its primary mortgage loan during Fiscal 2004. The primary mortgage was reduced in the amount of $1,500,000 with a corresponding increase in the support loan. In addition,
the note holder forgave all the delinquent interest and related fees associated with the mortgage amounting to approximately $293,000 which is included in other income.
Total expenses, excluding repairs and maintenance, remained fairly consistent with an increase of less than 1% for Fiscal 2004 as compared to Fiscal 2003.
Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $512,000 for Fiscal 2004 as compared to Fiscal 2003, primarily due to the painting of the building's exterior at one Local Partnership, increases in payroll and contracts at three additional Local Partnerships and an increase in security costs and the painting of the building's exterior at a fifth Local Partnership.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships - ---------------------------------------------------
(a) Subsidiary Partnership - Going Concerns and Uncertainties
R.P.P. Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership ("River Place") - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- River Place has experienced significant losses from operations and has been unable to generate sufficient cash flow to make the required principal and interest payments under its loan agreements. River Place's debt guarantor, General Retirement System of the City of Detroit ("GRS"), entered into an agreement with the Michigan State Housing Authority (the "Authority") to purchase these loans upon the occurrence of certain events. GRS has declared River Place in default under its obligation to make the required payments. During 1996, GRS agreed to waive its right of foreclosure under the mortgages, through February 1, 2006. GRS has not granted an extention to its waiver to forclose beyond February 1, 2006 and can exercise its right to foreclose at any time. GRS has made advances for debt service and has incurred certain fees relating to these loans totaling $58,413,027, including accrued interest on such advances at a rate of 15%. Such amount is included in the amount due to debt guarantor on the balance sheet.
Management anticipates that River Place will be unable to make all of the required debt service payments during 2006. However, there is no guarantee that GRS, or any other person, will continue to make these payments on behalf of the River Place. Additionally, because River Place has been declared in default of its obligations under the guarantor agreement, the Authority could elect to declare River Place to be in default under the loan agreements pursuant to certain provisions contained therein but have elected not to do so as a result of GRS making the required debt service payments. Accordingly, it is uncertain whether River Place will be able to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements of River Place have been prepared assuming that River Place will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Partnership's investment in River Place has been written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $883,000 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest for River Place amounted to approximately $4,056,000, $3,526,000 and $3,249,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Longfellow Heights Apartments, L.P. ("Longfellow") - -------------------------------------------------- The financial statements of Longfellow have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern. Longfellow's note with Hallmark Corporate Foundation matures September 1, 2006. The principal balance of the note at December 31, 2005 was $1,237,648 and based on historical operations of Longfellow, it is not expected to be able to pay the principal balance in 2006. Longfellow intends to extend or renegotiate the note during 2006. The Partnership's investment in Longfellow was written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest was $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest for Longfellow amounted to approximately $370,000, $311,000 and $335,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Citrus Meadows Apartments, LTD. ("Citrus Meadows") - -------------------------------------------------- The financial statements of Citrus Meadows have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern. Citrus Meadows incurred a net loss of $527,989 during the current period and has incurred a Partner's deficit of $8,035,012 since inception. Current economic conditions have limited the ability of Citrus Meadows to increase tenant occupancy. In response to economic conditions, management has reduced expenses and increased advertising to attract new tenants. Also, nonessential capital expenditures have either been eliminated or postponed. With record low interest rates, more people are purchasing housing instead of renting. At this time, the Local General Partner is funding the deficit. Because it is unclear whether Citrus Meadows will be successful in accomplishing these objectives, there is uncertainty about Citrus Meadow's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should Citrus Meadows be unable to continue as a going concern. The Partnership's investment in Citrus Meadows has been written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $528,000, $777,000 and $568,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Puerto Rico Historic Zone Dividend Partnership ("San Justo") - ------------------------------------------------------------ The financial statements of San Justo have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern. San Justo has suffered recurring losses from operations. At December 31, 2005, San Justo had a partners' deficit of $1,901,629 and has not complied with the total interest payment requirement of its mortgage note with the Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority that raise substantial doubt about San Justo's ability to continue as a going concern. The management of San Justo has recommended that it liquidate its assets in an orderly manner in order to comply with its obligations. The Partnership's investments in San Justo have been written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest for San Justo was approximately $313,000, $234,000 and $231,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
b) Subsidiary Partnership - Other
Jefferson Limited Partnership ("Jefferson") - ------------------------------------------- At December 31, 2005 and 2004, Jefferson's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $1,289,000 and $130,000, respectively. Although this condition could raise substantial doubt about Jefferson's ability to continue as a going concern, such doubt is alleviated by the following: (i) included in current liabilities at December 31, 2005 is $1,101,180, the entire unpaid principal of Jefferson's first mortgage note (This classification is
caused by a default with the terms of the note that results from Jefferson being in arrears by one monthly installment payment at December 31, 2005. The missed payment stems from an error in cash management. The management of Jefferson has taken corrective measures and all first mortgage note installments are current in early 2006.) and (ii) $85,440 and $72,891 of current liabilities at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are to related parties which do not intend to pursue payment beyond Jefferson's ability to pay. Accordingly, management believes that Jefferson has the ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from December 31, 2005. The Partnership's investment in Jefferson was written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest for Jefferson amounted to approximately $183,000, $151,000 and $217,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Manhattan A Associates ("Manhattan A") - -------------------------------------- The financial statements of Manhattan A have been prepared on the basis that it is to continue as a going concern. The General Partners have funded cash flow shortfalls thusfar. The Partnership's investment in Manhattan A was approximately $658,000 at March 31, 2006 and the minority interest for Manhattan A was $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest for Manhattan A amounted to approximately $97,000, $113,000 and $25,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Subsequently, on May 31, 2006 Manhattan A entered into an agreement to sell its property and related assets and liabilities for a purchase price of $3,900,000 (see Note 16).
Gentle Pines - ------------ The financial statements of Gentle Pines have been prepared knowing that Gentle Pines has transferred its deed, in lieu of foreclosure. Gentle Pines was unable to make a mortgage payment after May 2004 and was in default. The Federal Housing Administration insured note was subsequently assigned to HUD on September 1, 2004. On March 31, 2005, HUD sold the mortgage to a third party. On May 6, 2005, Gentle Pines transferred ownership of the project to a third party by tendering a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Partnership's investment in Gentle Pines has been written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net (income) loss after minority interest for Gentle Pines amounted to approximately $2,760,000, $(437,000) and $(100,000) for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Redemptorist Limited Partnership ("Redemptorist") - ------------------------------------------------- Redemptorist is located in the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina in September 2005 that sustained major damage and has remained completely vacant since then. The Local General Partner is still evaluating whether the Property will be rebuilt or not. The Property is close to the end of its Compliance Period and has third-party debt. The Partnership anticipates that the insurance proceeds will be sufficient to pay off all debt. Currently, the Partnership does not expect that there will be financial exposure related to the Partnership. The Partnership's investment in the Local Partnership at March 31, 2006 is approximately $328,000 and the property and equipment net of accumulated depreciation is approximately $3,083,000. The insurance coverage is approximately $6,500,000 for property, $5,000,000 for flood and wind coverage and $860,000 for rent loss.
Cutler Canal III Associates, Ltd. ("Cutler Canal") - -------------------------------------------------- On October 24, 2005, Cutler Canal was damaged by Hurricane Wilma. The hurricane caused extensive damage which will require roofing to be replaced on substantially all the buildings of the Property. In total, damages are estimated to be approximately $578,000. As of December 31, 2005, the claim was in process and repairs had not begun. Repairs are expected to consist of removing existing roofing material and installing new roofing material. Of the total $578,000 estimated costs, insurance proceeds are expected to total $155,000 after a deductible of approximately $310,000 and a reduction for depreciation of approximately $113,000. No loss is expected since the net proceeds from the involuntary conversion are expected to exceed the net cost of damaged property. Based on current estimates, a net gain of approximately $96,000 is expected, which is the excess of net proceeds of $155,000 less the cost of the damaged property of $59,000. Gain, if any will be recognized when the insurance claim is settled. On January 30, 2006, Cutler Canal entered into an agreement to sell its property and related assets and liabilities for a purchase price of $11,600,000 (see Note 11 in Item 8).
Driftwood Terrace Associates, Ltd. ("Driftwood") - ------------------------------------------------ On October 24, 2005, Driftwood suffered damage caused by Hurricane Wilma. Driftwood has claimed and recovered $324,450 of insurance proceeds and has made repairs of $59,262 as of December 31, 2005. Driftwood has established a deferred charges account in the amount of $265,188 which represents the unspent insurance proceeds to be used on additional repairs. Driftwood has submitted a supplemental insurance claim. The resolution of the supplemental claim and the amount of any casualty loss suffered by Driftwood cannot be determined at this time.
Other Subsidiary Partnerships - -----------------------------
Two of the Subsidiary Partnerships are leasing the land on which the Properties are located for terms ranging from 50 to 99 years. The leases for these Properties are noncancelable. At December 31, 2005, those Subsidiary Partnerships were committed to minimum annual rentals on the leases aggregating approximately $66,000 for each of the next five years, and $2,530,000 in total thereafter.
Other - -----
The Partnership's investments in the Local Partnerships are subject to the risks incident to management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership's investments also could be adversely affected by poor economic conditions, which could increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and operating expenses, any or all of which could threaten the financial viability of one or more of the Local Partnerships.
There also are substantial risks associated with the operation of apartment complexes receiving government assistance. These risks stem from governmental regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more difficult to rent apartments in the Apartment 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 the possibility 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 also affects the Local Partnerships adversely by increasing operating costs, for example, for such items 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.
Item 7A.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Partnership has mortgage notes that are payable in aggregate monthly installments including principal and interest at rates varying from 0% to 11.38% per annum. The Partnership does not believe there is a material risk associated with the various interest rates associated with the mortgage notes as the majority of the Local Partnership mortgage notes have fixed rates. The Partnership currently discloses in Item 8, Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the fair value of the mortgage notes payable.
The Partnership does not have any market risk sensitive instruments.

To the Partners of Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries (A Delaware Limited Partnership)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries (A Delaware Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (the 2005, 2004 and 2003 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 of 32 (Fiscal 2005 and 2004) and 58 (Fiscal 2003) subsidiary partnerships whose losses aggregated ($3,329,498), ($3,796,154) and ($15,964,390) for the 2005, 2004 and 2003 Fiscal Years, respectively, and whose assets constituted 46% and 43% of the Partnership's assets at March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of 32 (Fiscal 2005), 32 (Fiscal 2004) and 57 (Fiscal 2003) 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 (Fiscal 2003) subsidiary partnership was unaudited.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 referred to above, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries at March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 12(a), the consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of four subsidiary partnerships with significant contingencies and uncertainties. The financial statements of these subsidiary partnerships were prepared assuming that they will continue as going concerns. These subsidiary partnerships' net losses aggregated $5,270,116 (Fiscal 2005), $4,847,710 (Fiscal 2004) and $4,383,066 (Fiscal 2003), and their assets aggregated $24,270,982 and $25,919,787 at March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 12(a). The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

I conducted my audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that I 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

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 the audits provide 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 Mayfair Apartments, Ltd., RHS Project No.: 48-032-630957575 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.
The audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information on pages 10 through 13 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental information presented in the Multiple Family Housing Borrower Balance Sheet (Form FmHA 1930-8) Parts I and II for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, is presented for purposes of complying with the requirements of the Rural Housing Services and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the audit 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 basic financial statements taken as a whole.
In accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we have also issued a report dated February 27, 2006 on our consideration of Mayfair Apartments, Ltd.'s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws and regulations. However, the partnership has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included only the consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Partnership's note with Hallmark Corporate Foundation matures in 2006, and the Partnership is not expected to have the operating cash flow to cover the principal payment. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are described in Note 11. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainly.

LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
NOTE 1 - General
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), was organized on November 17, 1988. The Partnership had no operations until commencement of its public offering on May 2, 1989. The general partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Related General Partner"), and Liberty GP III Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Liberty General Partner", and together with the Related General Partner, the "General Partners"). The general partner of the Related General Partner is Related Credit Properties III Inc., a Delaware corporation. On November 17, 2003, CharterMac acquired CharterMac Capital, LLC ("CharterMac Capital") (formerly known as Related Capital Company, LLC), which is the parent of RCC Manager LLC, the sole shareholder of Related Credit Properties III Inc. Pursuant to the acquisition, CharterMac acquired controlling interests in the General Partners. This acquisition did not affect the Partnership or its day-to-day operations, as the majority of the General Partners' management team remained unchanged.
On November 8, 2005, CharterMac announced that Stuart J. Boesky would step down as Chief Executive Officer and trustee of CharterMac. Upon his stepping down, which was effective on November 15, 2005, he also resigned from his position as Senior Vice President of the Related General Partner and Executive Vice President of the Liberty General Partner. Mr. Boesky will stay on as a consultant to CharterMac for the next year in order to ensure a smooth transition. On March 14, 2006, CharterMac's Board of Trustees named Marc D. Schnitzer its Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Schnitzer replaced Stephen M. Ross, who had served as interim Chief Executive Officer since Stuart J. Boesky resigned in November of 2005. Mr. Schnitzer also replaced Mr. Boesky as Senior Vice President of the Related General Partner and Executive Vice President of the Liberty General Partner.
On May 2, 1989, the Partnership commenced a public offering (the "Offering") of Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs") representing assignments of limited partnership interests in the Partnership ("Limited Partnership Interests").
The Partnership's business is to invest in other limited partnerships ("Local Partnerships" or "Subsidiaries" or "Subsidiary Partnerships") owning leveraged apartment complexes ("Apartment Complexes" or "Properties") that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit ("Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and to a lesser extent in Local Partnerships owning properties that are eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit ("Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit"). As of March 31, 2006, the period where qualified BACs holders are entitled to claim Tax Credits, generally ten years from the date of investment, or, if later, the date the Property is placed in service (the "Credit Periods"), for all the properties have expired; however, each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax Credit requirements until the end of the 15 year period commencing at the beginning of the Credit Period (the "Compliance Period") in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits. The Compliance Periods are scheduled to expire at various times through December 31, 2008. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in nine Local Partnerships, the property and the related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships and transferred the deed to the property and the related assets and liabilities at one Local Partnership. Through the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership sold the property and the related assets and liabilities of four Local Partnerships, its limited partnership interest in fourteen Local Partnerships and transferred the deed to the property and the related assets and liabilities at one Local Partnership. For a discussion of these sales, see Note 10. In addition, as of March 31, 2006, the Partnership entered into contracts to sell three additional Local Partnerships (see Note 11). Subsequently, the Partnership sold a building in one of its Local Partnerships, the property and the related assets and liabilities of a Local Partnership and entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the property and the related assets and liabilities of one additional Local Partnership (see Note 16).
The Partnership is authorized to issue a total of 150,000 Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs"), which have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission for sale to the public. Each BAC represents all of the economic and virtually all of the ownership rights attributable to one-fifth of a limited partnership interest. As of March 31, 2006, 139,101.5 BACs have been issued, and no further issuance of BACs is anticipated. The Offering was completed on March 30, 1990.
The terms of the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") provide, among other things, that net profits or losses and distributions of cash flow are, in general, allocated 99% to the limited partners and BACs holders and 1% to 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 56, 60 and 61 Subsidiary Partnerships in which the Partnership is the principal limited partner for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Through the rights of the Partnership and/or an affiliate of the General Partners (which 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 March 31. All Subsidiaries have fiscal years ending December 31. Accounts of the Subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from January 1 through March 31. The Partnership's fiscal year ends March 31 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 with the Subsidiary Partnerships have been eliminated in consolidation.
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated Subsidiaries attributable to minority interest arise from cash contributions and cash distributions to the minority interest partners.
Losses attributable to minority interest which exceed the minority interest's investment in a Subsidiary have been charged to the Partnership. Such losses aggregated approximately $0, $180,000 and $0 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively (the 2005, 2004 and 2003 fiscal years, respectively). The Partnership's investment in each Subsidiary is equal to the respective Subsidiary partners' equity less minority interest capital, if any. In consolidation, all Subsidiary Partnerships' losses are included in the Partnership's capital account except for losses allocated to minority interest capital.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and investments in short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Cash held in escrow has various use restrictions and is not considered a cash equivalent.
c) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost, which includes the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest and any other costs incurred in acquiring such property and equipment. 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 No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"). 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. 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. Through March 31, 2006, the Partnership has recorded approximately $23,937,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the results of discontinued operations are reported as a separate component of income before extraordinary items on the consolidated statements of operations. Discontinued operations include the results of operations and any gain or loss recognized for Local Partnerships that have been disposed of or are held for sale. A gain or loss recognized on the disposal is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Adjustments to amounts previously reported in operations that are directly related to the disposal of a Local Partnership are reclassified in the current period as discontinued operations for comparability purposes. Assets and liabilities of a Local Partnership that are classified as held for sale are presented separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the consolidated balance sheets.
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. Such assets would be classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not depreciated. Property and equipment that are held for sale are included in discontinued operations. There are three assets classified as property and equipment-held for sale as of March 31, 2006 (see Note 11).
d) Revenue Recognition
Rental income is earned primarily under standard residential operating leases and is typically due the first day of each month, but can vary by property due to the terms of the tenant leases. Rental income is recognized when earned and as rents become due and charged to tenants' accounts receivable if not received by the due date. Rental payments received in advance of the due date are deferred until earned. Rental subsidies are recognized as rental income during the month in which it is earned.
Other revenues are recorded when earned and consist of the following items: Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances and cash held in escrow balances, income from forfeited security deposits, late charges, laundry and vending income, and other rental related miscellaneous items.
Other revenues from operations include the following amounts at both the Partnership and Local Partnership level:
* Reclassified for comparative purposes.
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
Other revenues from discontinued operations include the following amounts at both the Partnership and Local Partnership level:
* Reclassified for comparative purposes.
e) Income Taxes
The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any federal income taxes. Net income or loss generated by the Partnership is passed through to the partners and is required to be reported by them. The Partnership may be subject to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates. For income tax purposes, the Partnership has a fiscal year ending December 31 (see 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 GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
h) New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ("FAS 154"). FAS 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. FAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle. FAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate, and correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a restatement. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of FAS 154 to have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights ("EITF No. 04-5"). EITF No. 04-5 replaces counterpart requirements in Statement of Position 78-9, which provides guidance on accounting for investments in real estate ventures and limited partners. Under EITF No. 04-5, the general partner's control would be overcome if the limited partners have either (i) "kick-out rights" - the right to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner "without cause" or (ii) "participating rights" - the right to effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnership's business. The kick-out rights and the participating rights must be substantive in order to overcome the general partner's control. EITF No. 04-5 is now effective. Since the Partnership's financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, the adoption of EITF No. 05-4 has not had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
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 and Cash Held in Escrow - ------------------------------------------------- The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Mortgage Notes Payable - ---------------------- The fair value of mortgage notes payable is estimated, where practicable, based on the borrowing rate currently available for similar loans.
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
The estimated fair values of the Partnership's mortgage note payable from operations are as follows:
The estimated fair values of the Partnership's mortgage notes payable from discontinued operations are as follows:
(*) Management believes it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the mortgage notes payable because mortgage programs with similar characteristics are not currently available to the Local Partnerships.
Due to Local General Partners and Affiliates - --------------------------------------------
The estimated fair value of the Partnership's due to the general partners of the Local Partnerships (the "Local General Partners") and affiliates from operations are as follows:
The estimated fair value of the Partnership's due to the Local General Partners and affiliates from discontinued operations are as follows:
(*) Management believes it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of due to Local General Partners and affiliates, because market information on such unique loans are not currently available to the Local Partnership.
The carrying amount of other financial instruments that require such disclosure approximates fair value.
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
NOTE 4 - Property and Equipment
The components of property and equipment from operations are as follows:
The initial cost to the Partnership, as shown in Schedule III in Item 15, includes $8,346,089 of acquisition fees paid to the general partners and $2,908,694 of acquisition expenses as of March 31, 2006 and 2005. In addition, as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, buildings and improvements include $14,677,111 of capitalized interest.
Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $6,600,719, $6,629,197 and $6,584,548, respectively.
In connection with the rehabilitation of the Properties, the Subsidiary Partnerships have incurred developers' fees of $25,440,729 as of both March 31, 2006 and 2005 to the Local General Partner and affiliates. Such fees have been included in the cost of property and equipment.
During the 2005 and 2004 Fiscal Years, there was a decrease in accumulated depreciation in the amount of $23,067,125 and $3,694,411, respectively, and $23,065,236 and $3,653,307 of these write-offs are related to the discontinued assets.
The components of property and equipment held for sale from discontinued operations are as follows:
Depreciation expense for the discontinued property and equipment for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $2,175,843, $3,039,859 and $3,435,984, respectively.
Impairment of Fixed Assets - --------------------------
Lancashire Towers Associates Limited Partnership ("Lancashire") - --------------------------------------------------------------- On December 29, 2004, the Partnership entered into an agreement for the sale of its limited partnership interest in Lancashire to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a purchase price of $800,000. At this time, in accordance with SFAS No. 144 the Partnership deemed the building impaired and wrote it down to its fair value which resulted in a loss on impairment of $1,700,000. On May 2, 2005, Lancashire was sold.
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
NOTE 5 - Cash Held in Escrow
The components of cash held in escrow from operations are as follows:
The discontinued assets cash held in escrow consists of the following:
*Represents amounts to be paid to seller upon meeting specified rental achievement criteria.
NOTE 6 - Deferred Costs
The components of deferred costs and their periods of amortization from operations are as follows:
* Over the life of the related mortgages.
Amortization of deferred costs from operations for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $126,526, $143,648 and $124,117, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, there were net decreases in accumulated amortization of $546,635 and $103,629, respectively, due to write-offs and reclasses into discontinued operations as included in the summary in the table below.
The components of deferred costs and their periods of amortization from discontinued operations are as follows:
* Over the life of the related mortgages.
Amortization of deferred costs from operations for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $279,090, $27,763 and $34,727, respectively.
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
NOTE 7 - Mortgage Notes Payable
The mortgage notes from operations, which are collateralized by land and buildings, are payable in aggregate monthly installments of approximately $604,000, including principal and interest at rates varying from 0% to 11.38% per annum, through the year 2044. Each Subsidiary Partnership's mortgage note payable is without further recourse and is collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective Subsidiary Partnership and the assignment of such Subsidiary Partnership's rent and leases.
Annual principal payment requirements of the subsidiary partnerships for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows:
The mortgage agreements require monthly deposits to replacement reserves of approximately $84,000 and monthly deposits to escrow accounts for real estate taxes, hazard and mortgage insurance and other (Note 5).
Accrued interest payable at March 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $17,923,000 and $17,806,060, respectively. Interest accrues on all mortgage loans, which include primary and secondary loans. Certain secondary loans have provisions such that interest is accrued but not payable until a future date. The Partnership anticipates the payment of accrued interest on the secondary loans (which make up the majority of the accrued interest payable amount and which have been accumulating since the Partnership's investment in the respective Local Partnership) will be made from future refinancings or sales proceeds of the respective Local Partnerships.
L.I.H Chestnut Associates, L.P. ("Chestnut") - -------------------------------------------- Chestnut's Mortgage Agreement contains various covenants pertaining to payment of monthly loan installments and maintenance of reserve funds. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, Chestnut was in violation of such covenants. As of February 10, 2006, Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency ("PHFA") has not waived the reserve funds requirements, and accordingly, Chestnut is currently in default. Under the terms of the Mortgage Agreement, if any event of default, as defined, occurs, and is continuing, other rights may be enforced on behalf of the lenders, inclusive of possession of the Property. Accordingly, the entire balance of the mortgage note has been classified as a current liability as of December 31, 2005.
Las Camelias Limited Partnership ("Las Camelias") - ------------------------------------------------- On December 30, 2005, Las Camelias obtained a second mortgage loan in the amount of $950,000. The new mortgage matures on January 1, 2007 and bears interest at the rate of 7.25% per annum. Financing costs of approximately $60,000 were incurred. The second mortgage resulted in a distribution from Las Camelias to the Partnership of approximately $875,000. On January 4, 2006, Las Camelias was sold (see Note 10 for sales of properties).
The following table summarizes the Partnership's commitments from discontinued operations as of March 31, 2006 to make future payments under its debt agreements and other contractual obligations.
The mortgage notes from discontinued operations, which are collateralized by land and buildings, are payable in aggregate monthly installments of approximately $120,000, including principal and interest at rates varying from 1% to 11.5% per annum, through the year 2040. Each Subsidiary Partnership's mortgage note payable is without further recourse and is collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective Subsidiary Partnership and the assignment of such Subsidiary Partnership's rent and leases.
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
Annual principal payment requirements of the subsidiary partnerships for each of the next five years and thereafter for the discontinuing liabilities are as follows:
The mortgage agreements require monthly deposits to replacement reserves of approximately $6,000 and monthly deposits to escrow accounts for real estate taxes, hazard and mortgage insurance and other (Note 5).
Accrued interest payable for the discontinued liabilities at March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $767,000 and $0, respectively.

A) Guarantees
In November 2002, FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FASB Interpretation No. 45"), was issued. The accounting recognition provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45 were effective January 1, 2003 on a prospective basis. They require that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing or modifying any guarantee after December 31, 2002. Under prior accounting principles, a guarantee would not have been recognized as a liability until a loss was probable and reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2006, the Partnership has not issued or modified any existing guarantees and has determined that the adoption of the accounting recognition provision of FASB Interpretation No. 45 would not have an impact on the Partnership's future financial position or results of operations.
The Partnership negotiated operating deficit guarantee agreements with all Local Partnerships in which the general partners of the Local Partnerships ("Local General Partners") agreed to fund operating deficits for a specified period of time. The terms of the operating deficit guarantee agreements vary for each Local Partnership, with the maximum dollar amounts to be funded for a specified period of time, generally three years, commencing at stabilization. The gross amount of the operating deficit guarantees aggregated approximately $18,700,000 of which all have expired as of March 31, 2006.
The operating deficit guarantee agreements were negotiated to protect the Partnership's interest in the Local Partnerships and to provide incentive to the Local General Partners to generate positive cash flow.

B) Related Party Fees
The costs incurred to related parties for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:
Related Party Fees - continuing operations
Related Party Fees - discontinued operations
* Reclassified for comparative purposes.
(i) The General Partners are entitled to receive a partnership management fee after payment of all Partnership expenses, which, together with the local annual administrative fees, will not exceed a maximum of 0.5% per annum of invested assets (as defined in the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership ("Partnership Agreement")), for administering the affairs of the Partnership. The partnership management fee, subject to the foregoing limitation, will be determined by the General Partners in their sole discretion based upon their review of the Partnership's investments. Unpaid partnership management fees for any year will be accrued without interest and will be payable only to the extent of available funds after the Partnership has made the distributions to the BACs holders of sale or refinancing proceeds equal to their original capital contributions plus a 10% priority return thereon (to the extent not theretofore paid out of cash flow). Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounting to approximately $11,822,000 and $11,045,000 were accrued and unpaid at March 31, 2006 and 2005. Without the General Partners' continued accrual without payment of these fees and expense reimbursements, the Partnership will not be in a position to meet its obligations. The General Partners have allowed for the accrual without payment of these amounts but are under no obligation to continue to do so.
(ii) 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.

The terms of the Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements varied for each Local Partnership, with maximum dollar amounts to be funded for a specified period of time, generally three years, commencing on the break-even date.
Amounts funded under the operating deficit guaranty agreements were treated as non-interest bearing loans, which will be paid only out of available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds. As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $3,138,000 advanced under the Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements of which approximately $1,900,000 has been repaid. Any amounts funded under such agreements would be reflected under "Due to local general partner and affiliates" on the Partnership's financial statements. As of March 31, 2006, all Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements have expired.
NOTE 9 - Taxable Net Loss
A reconciliation of the financial statement net loss to the taxable net loss for the Partnership and its consolidated Subsidiaries follows:
NOTE 10 - Sale of Properties
The Partnership is currently in the process of disposing of its investments. It is anticipated that this process will take a number of years. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in nine Local Partnerships, the property and related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships and transferred the deed to the property and related assets and liabilities at one Local Partnership. Through March 31, 2006, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interest in fourteen Local
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
Partnerships, the property and the related assets and liabilities of four Local Partnerships and transferred the deed to the property and the related assets and liabilities at one Local Partnership.

There may be no assurance as to whether or when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investment.

NOTE 12 - Commitments and Contingencies
a) Subsidiary Partnerships - Going Concerns
R.P.P. Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership ("River Place") - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- River Place has experienced significant losses from operations and has been unable to generate sufficient cash flow to make the required principal and interest payments under its loan agreements. River Place's debt guarantor, General Retirement System of the City of Detroit ("GRS"), entered into an agreement with the Michigan State Housing Authority (the "Authority") to purchase these loans upon the occurrence of certain events. GRS has declared River Place in default under its obligation to make the required payments. During 1996, GRS agreed to waive its right of foreclosure under the mortgages, through February 1, 2006. GRS has not granted an extention to its waiver to foreclose beyond February 1, 2006 and can exercise its right to foreclose at any time. GRS has made advances for debt service and has incurred certain fees relating to these loans totaling $58,413,027, including accrued interest on such advances at a rate of 15%. Such amount is included in the amount due to debt guarantor on the balance sheet.
Management anticipates that River Place will be unable to make all of the required debt service payments during 2006. However, there is no guarantee that GRS, or any other person, will continue to make these payments on behalf of the River Place. Additionally, because River Place has been declared in default of its obligations under the guarantor agreement, the Authority could elect to declare River Place to be in default under the loan agreements pursuant to certain provisions contained therein but have elected not to do so as a result of GRS making the required debt service payments. Accordingly, it is uncertain whether River Place will be able to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements of River Place have been prepared assuming that River Place will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Partnership's investment in River Place has been written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $883,000 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest for River Place amounted to approximately $4,056,000, $3,526,000 and $3,249,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Longfellow Heights Apartments, L.P. ("Longfellow") - -------------------------------------------------- The financial statements of Longfellow have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern. Longfellow's note with Hallmark Corporate Foundation matures September 1, 2006. The principal balance of the note at December 31, 2005 was $1,237,648 and based on historical operations of Longfellow, it is not expected to be able to pay the principal balance in 2006. Longfellow intends to extend or renegotiate the note during 2006. The Partnership's investment in Longfellow was written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest was $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest for Longfellow amounted to approximately $370,000, $311,000 and $335,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Citrus Meadows Apartments, LTD. ("Citrus Meadows") - -------------------------------------------------- The financial statements of Citrus Meadows have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern. Citrus Meadows incurred a net loss of $527,989 during the current period and has incurred a Partner's deficit of $8,035,013 since inception. Current economic conditions have limited the ability of Citrus Meadows to increase tenant occupancy. In response to economic conditions, management has reduced expenses and increased advertising to attract new tenants. Also, nonessential capital expenditures have either been eliminated or postponed. With record low interest rates, more people are purchasing housing instead of renting. At this time, the Local General Partner is funding the deficit. Because it is unclear whether Citrus Meadows will be successful in accomplishing these objectives, there is uncertainty about Citrus Meadow's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should Citrus Meadows be unable to continue as a going concern. The Partnership's investment in Citrus Meadows has been written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $528,000, $777,000 and $568,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Puerto Rico Historic Zone Dividend Partnership ("San Justo") - ------------------------------------------------------------ The financial statements of San Justo have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern. San Justo has suffered recurring losses from operations. At December 31, 2005, San Justo had a partners' deficit of $1,901,629 and has not complied with the total interest payment requirement of its mortgage note with the Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority that raise substantial doubt about San Justo's ability to continue as a going concern. The management of San Justo has recommended that it liquidate its assets in an orderly manner in order to comply with its obligations. The Partnership's investments in San Justo have been written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest for San Justo was approximately $313,000, $234,000 and $231,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
b) Subsidiary Partnership - Other
Jefferson Limited Partnership ("Jefferson") - ------------------------------------------- At December 31, 2005 and 2004, Jefferson's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $1,289,000 and $130,000, respectively. Although this condition could raise substantial doubt about Jefferson's ability to continue as a going concern, such doubt is alleviated by the following: (i) included in current liabilities at December 31, 2005 is $1,101,180, the entire unpaid principal of Jefferson's first mortgage note (This classification is
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
caused by a default with the terms of the note that results from Jefferson being in arrears by one monthly installment payment at December 31, 2005. The missed payment stems from an error in cash management. The management of Jefferson has taken corrective measures and all first mortgage note installments are current in early 2006.) and (ii) $85,440 and $72,891 of current liabilities at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are to related parties which do not intend to pursue payment beyond Jefferson's ability to pay. Accordingly, management believes that Jefferson has the ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from December 31, 2005. The Partnership's investment in Jefferson was written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest for Jefferson amounted to approximately $183,000, $151,000 and $217,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Manhattan A Associates ("Manhattan A") - -------------------------------------- The financial statements of Manhattan A have been prepared on the basis that it is to continue as a going concern. The General Partners have funded cash flow shortfalls thusfar. The Partnership's investment in Manhattan A was approximately $658,000 at March 31, 2006 and the minority interest for Manhattan A was $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net loss after minority interest for Manhattan A amounted to approximately $97,000, $113,000 and $25,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Subsequently, on May 31, 2006 Manhattan A entered into an agreement to sell its property and related assets and liabilities for a purchase price of $3,900,000 (see Note 16).
Gentle Pines - West Columbia Associates, L.P. ("Gentle Pines") - -------------------------------------------------------------- The financial statements of Gentle Pines have been prepared knowing that Gentle Pines has transferred its deed, in lieu of foreclosure. Gentle Pines was unable to make a mortgage payment after May 2004 and was in default. The Federal Housing Administration insured note was subsequently assigned to the HUD on September 1, 2004. On March 31, 2005, HUD sold the mortgage to a third party. On May 6, 2005, Gentle Pines transferred ownership of the project to a third party by tendering a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Partnership's investment in Gentle Pines had been written down to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was $0 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005. The net income (loss) after minority interest for Gentle Pines amounted to approximately $2,760,000, $(437,000) and $(100,000) for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Redemptorist Limited Partnership ("Redemptorist") - ------------------------------------------------- Redemptorist is located in the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina in September 2005 that sustained major damage and has remained completely vacant since then. The Local General Partner is still evaluating whether the Property will be rebuilt or not. The Property is close to the end of its Compliance Period and has third-party debt. The Partnership anticipates that the insurance proceeds will be sufficient to pay off all debt. Currently, the Partnership does not expect that there will be financial exposure related to the Partnership. The Partnership's investment in the Local Partnership at March 31, 2006 is approximately $328,000 and the property and equipment net of accumulated depreciation is approximately $3,083,000. The insurance coverage is approximately $6,500,000 for property, $5,000,000 for flood and wind coverage and $860,000 for rent loss.
Cutler Canal III Associates, Ltd. ("Cutler Canal") - -------------------------------------------------- On October 24, 2005, Cutler Canal was damaged by Hurricane Wilma. The hurricane caused extensive damage which will require roofing to be replaced on substantially all the buildings of the Property. In total, damages are estimated to be approximately $578,000. As of December 31, 2005, the claim was in process and repairs had not begun. Repairs are expected to consist of removing existing roofing material and installing new roofing material. Of the total $578,000 estimated costs, insurance proceeds are expected to total $155,000 after a deductible of approximately $310,000 and a reduction for depreciation of approximately $113,000. No loss is expected since the net proceeds from the involuntary conversion are expected to exceed the net cost of damaged property. Based on current estimates, a net gain of approximately $96,000 is expected, which is the excess of net proceeds of $155,000 less the cost of the damaged property of $59,000. Gain, if any will be recognized when the insurance claim is settled. On January 30, 2006, Cutler Canal entered into an agreement to sell its property and related assets and liabilities for a purchase price of $11,600,000 (see Note 11).
Driftwood Terrace Associates, Ltd. ("Driftwood") - ------------------------------------------------ On October 24, 2005, Driftwood suffered damage caused by Hurricane Wilma. Driftwood has claimed and recovered $324,450 of insurance proceeds and has made repairs of $59,262 as of December 31, 2005. Driftwood has established a deferred charges account in the amount of $265,188 which represents the unspent insurance proceeds to be used on additional repairs. Driftwood has submitted a supplemental insurance claim. The resolution of the supplemental claim and the amount of any casualty loss suffered by Driftwood cannot be determined at this time.
Leases - ------
Two of the Subsidiary Partnerships are leasing the land on which the Properties are located, for terms ranging from 50 to 99 years. The leases on these Properties are noncancelable. At December 31, 2005 those Subsidiary Partnerships were committed to minimum future annual rentals on the leases aggregating approximately $66,000 for each of the next five years, and $2,530,000 total thereafter.
One Local Partnership has entered into an agreement ("Master Lease") with an affiliate that expires in 2012, wherein the Local Partnership is guaranteed annual rental revenue. The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rentals to be received under the Master Lease as of December 31, 2005:
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006
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 March 31, 2006, uninsured cash and cash equivalents approximated $1,200,000.
d) Cash Distributions
Cash distributions from the Local Partnerships to the Partnership are restricted by the provisions of the respective Local Partnership Agreements and/or HUD. Such cash distributions are typically made from surplus cash flow.
e) Tax Credits
A portion of Tax Credits are subject to recapture in future years if (1) the Local Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements, (2) there is a decrease in the qualified basis of the Property, or (3) there is a reduction in the taxpayer's interest in the Property at any time during the 15-year Compliance Period that began with the first tax year of the Credit Period. None of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has acquired an interest has suffered an event of recapture.
During the tax years 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership generated Tax Credits of approximately $3,000, $69,000 and $69,000, respectively.
f) Other
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can also be affected by poor economic conditions generally. However, no more than 19% of the Properties are located in any single state. There are also substantial risks associated with owning Properties receiving government assistance, such as the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owner's equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially liquidate its investments in Subsidiary Partnerships during the period that the subsidy agreements are in existence without HUD's approval. Furthermore, there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental assistance contracts expire.
In order for certain Subsidiaries to qualify for the Section 421A Program and the Inclusionary Zoning Program, they are subject to certain requirements by local authorities as to the level of rent that may be charged to tenants, the tenants' incomes, the obligation to operate the Property in accordance with rent stabilization guidelines, and restrictions on the rate at which housing units may be released from such guidelines.
Also, certain Subsidiary Partnerships obtain grants from local authorities to fund construction costs of the Properties and in order to qualify must maintain the low-income nature of the Property, among other provisions.
River Place - ----------- In order to enhance the marketability of its Variable Rate Limited Obligation Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bonds (the "2000 Bonds"), GRS entered into an agreement with a bank whereby the bank issued a direct-pay letter of credit on the account of River Place in favor of the Authority in the initial stated amount equal to approximately $23,000,000 and $24,000,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The letter of credit, which was due to expire May 16, 2005, was extended through May 16, 2007.

Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant
The Partnership has no directors or executive officers. The general partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Related General Partner"), and Liberty GP III Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Liberty General Partner" and together with the Related General Partner the "General Partners"). The general partner of the Related General Partner is Related Credit Properties III Inc., a Delaware limited liability corporation. The Partnership's affairs are managed and controlled by the General Partners. The Partnership has not adopted a separate code of ethics because the Partnership has no directors or executive officers. However, the parent company of CharterMac Capital LLC ("CharterMac Capital") (formerly known as Related Capital Company, LLC), which controls the Partnership's General Partners, has adopted a code of ethics (see http://www.chartermac.com).
On November 17, 2003, CharterMac acquired CharterMac Capital, which is the parent of RCC Manager LLC, the sole shareholder of the general partner of the Related General Partner. Pursuant to the acquisition, CharterMac acquired controlling interests in the General Partners. This acquisition did not affect the Partnership or its day-to-day operations as the majority of the General Partners' management team remained unchanged.
On November 8, 2005, CharterMac announced that Stuart J. Boesky would step down as Chief Executive Officer and trustee of CharterMac. Upon his stepping down, which was effective on November 15, 2005, he also resigned from his position as Senior Vice President of the Related General Partner and Executive Vice President of the Liberty General Partner. Mr. Boesky will stay on as a consultant to CharterMac for the next year in order to ensure a smooth transition. On March 14, 2006, CharterMac's Board of Trustees named Marc D. Schnitzer its Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Schnitzer replaced Stephen M. Ross, who had served as interim Chief Executive Officer since Stuart J. Boesky resigned in November of 2005. Mr. Schnitzer also replaced Mr. Boesky as Senior Vice President of the Related General Partner and Executive Vice President of the Liberty General Partner.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM -------------------------------------------------------
To the Partners of Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries (A Delaware Limited Partnership)
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements of Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries (A Delaware Limited Partnership) included in the Form 10-K as presented in our opinion dated June 22 on page 20, and based on the reports of other auditors, we have also audited supporting Schedule I for the 2005, 2004 and 2003 Fiscal Years and Schedule III at March 31, 2006. In our opinion, and based on the reports of the other auditors, these consolidated schedules present fairly, when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements, the financial data required to be set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 12(a), the consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of four subsidiary partnerships with significant contingencies and uncertainties. The financial statements of these subsidiary partnerships were prepared assuming that they will continue as going concerns. These subsidiary partnerships' net losses aggregated $5,270,116 (Fiscal 2005), $4,847,710 (Fiscal 2004) and $4,383,066 (Fiscal 2003), and their assets aggregated $24,270,982 and $25,919,787 at March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 12(a). The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

At the time the local partnerships were acquired by Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P., the entire purchase price paid by Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. 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.
