Item 1. Business
American Affordable Housing II Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership which was formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on May 13, 1987. Effective as of June 1, 2001 there was a restructuring and, as a result, the Partnership’s general partner was reorganized as follows. The general partner of the Partnership continues to be Boston Capital Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership. The general partner of the general partner is BCA Associates Limited Partnership; a Massachusetts limited partnership, whose sole general partner is C&M Management, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation. John P. Manning is the principal of Boston Capital Partners, Inc. and C&M Management, Inc.
The Partnership was formed to acquire limited partner interests in limited partnerships (the “Operating Partnerships”), each of which was to own and operate an apartment complex for low and moderate income tenants. Each apartment complex qualified for the low-income housing tax credit under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), and some apartment complexes also qualified for the historic rehabilitation tax credit under Section 47 of the Code. Section 236(f)(ii) of the National Housing Act, as amended, and Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, as amended, each provide for the making by HUD of rent supplement payments to low income tenants in properties which receive other forms of federal assistance such as tax credits. The payments for each tenant, which are made directly to the owner of their property, generally are in such amounts as to enable the tenant to pay rent equal to 30% of the adjusted family income. Some of the apartment complexes in which the Partnership has invested are receiving such rent supplements from HUD.
HUD has been in the process of converting rent supplement assistance to assistance paid not to the owner of the apartment complex, but directly to the individuals. At this time, the Partnership is unable to predict whether Congress will continue rent supplement programs payable directly to owners of the apartment complexes.
The investment objectives of the Partnership are (i) to provide investors with tax benefits during the first ten years of operations in the form of (a) low-income housing and historic rehabilitation tax credits which may be applied against the investors’ federal income tax liability arising from, in the case of individuals, active and portfolio income on a limited basis from passive income, and in the case of corporations, against Federal income tax liability from active and passive income and, as to certain corporations, against all income and (b) passive losses which may be used to reduce an Investor’s income in the same manner, (ii) to preserve and protect the capital of the Partnership, (iii) to provide long-term capital appreciation through increases in the value of the Partnership’s investments, and (iv) to provide cash distributions from capital transaction proceeds. The general partner is currently of the belief that the Partnership’s investment objectives will be met. Current distributions are not an investment objective of the Partnership.
The offering of Class A Limited Partner interests (the “Units”) in the Partnership (the “Public Offering”) began on February 2, 1988 and was concluded on September 21, 1988. Investors purchasing 26,501 Units contributed $26,501,000 to the Partnership. The Partnership held interests in 10 Operating Partnerships at March 31, 2010. See Item 2.
Plan of Liquidation
On January 10, 2008, our General Partner recommended that the Unit holders approve a plan of liquidation and dissolution for the Partnership, or the “Plan.” The Plan was approved by the Unit holders on April 1, 2008, and was adopted by the General Partner on April 1, 2008. Pursuant to the Plan, the General Partner may, without further action by the Unit holders:
· liquidate the assets and wind up the business of the Partnership;
· make liquidating distributions in cancellation of the Unit;
· dissolve the Partnership after the sale of all of the Partnership’s assets; and
· take, or cause the Partnership to take, such other acts and deeds and shall do, or cause the Partnership to do, such other things, as are necessary or appropriate in connection with the dissolution, winding up and liquidation of the Partnership, the termination of the responsibilities and liabilities of the Partnership under applicable law, and the termination of the existence of the Partnership.
Since the approval of the Plan by the Unit holders, we have continued to seek to sell the assets of the Partnership and use the sales proceeds and/or other Partnership funds to pay all expenses in connection with such sales, pay or make provision for payment of all Partnership obligations and liabilities, including accrued fees and unpaid loans to the General Partner, and distribute the remaining assets as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. We expect to complete the sale of the apartment complexes approximately three to four years after the Unit holders’ approval of the Plan, which was April 1, 2008. However, because of numerous uncertainties, the liquidation may take longer or shorter than expected, and the final liquidating distribution may occur months after all of the apartment complexes have been sold.
Item 1A.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As used in this Item 1A, references to “we, “us” and “our” mean the Partnership.
An investment in our Units and our investments in Operating Partnerships are subject to risks. These risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in our Units, and the amount of proceeds available for distribution to our limited partners, if any, on liquidation of our investments.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the following factors which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business operations.
The ability of limited partners to claim tax losses from their investment in us is limited.
The IRS may audit us or an Operating Partnership and challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits and tax losses allocable to the investors could be reduced if the IRS were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could reduce tax benefits from an investment in our Units. Changes in tax laws could also impact the tax benefits from an investment in our Units and/or the value of the Operating Partnerships. Until the Operating Partnerships have completed a mandatory fifteen year Low Income Housing Tax Credit compliance period, investors are at risk for potential recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that have already been claimed.
The Low Income Housing Tax Credits rules are extremely complicated and noncompliance with these rules may have adverse consequences for Unit holders.
Noncompliance with applicable tax regulations may result in the loss of future Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits already taken. In most cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that an individual can use is limited to the tax liability due on the person’s last $25,000 of taxable income. The Operating Partnerships may be sold at a price which would not result in our realizing cash distributions or proceeds from the transaction. Accordingly, we may be unable to distribute any cash to our investors. Low Income Housing Tax Credits may be the only benefit from an investment in our Units.
Poor performance of one housing complex, or the real estate market generally, could impair our ability to satisfy our investment objectives.
Each housing complex is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If an Operating Partnership failed to pay its mortgage, it could lose its housing complex in foreclosure. If foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years of the existence of the Partnership, the loss of any remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a fractional recapture of previously claimed Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and a loss of our investment in the housing complex would occur. To the extent the Operating Partnerships receive government financing or operating subsidies, they may be subject to one or more of the following risks:
· difficulties in obtaining rent increases;
· limitations on cash distributions;
· limitations on sales or refinancing of Operating Partnerships;
· limitations on transfers of interests in Operating Partnerships;
· limitations on removal of the local general partner;
· limitations on subsidy programs; and
· possible changes in applicable regulations.
The value of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions, including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions, among others.
No trading market for the Units exists or is expected to develop.
There is currently no active trading market for the Units. Accordingly, limited partners may be unable to sell their Units or may have to sell Units at a discount. Limited partners should consider their Units to be a long-term investment.
Investors may realize taxable gain on sale or disposition of Units.
Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Units, investors will realize taxable income to the extent that their allocable share of the non-recourse mortgage indebtedness on the apartment complexes, together with the money they receive from the sale of the Units, is greater than the original cost of their Units. This realized taxable income is reduced to the extent that investors have suspended passive losses or credits. It is possible that the sale of Units may not generate enough cash to pay the tax obligations arising from the sale.
Investors may have tax liability in excess of cash.
Investors eventually may be allocated profits for tax purposes which exceed any cash distributed to them. For this tax liability, the investor will have to pay federal income tax without a corresponding cash distribution. Similarly, in the event of a sale or foreclosure of an apartment complex or a sale of Units, an investor may be allocated taxable income, resulting in tax liability, in excess of any cash distributed to him or her as a result of such event.
Investors may not receive cash if apartment complexes are sold.
There is no assurance that investors will receive any cash distributions from the sale or refinancing of an apartment complex. The price at which an apartment complex is sold may not be large enough to pay the mortgage and other expenses which must be paid at such time. Even if there are net cash proceeds from a sale, expenses such as accrued Fund management fees and unpaid loans will be deducted pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Partnership Agreement. If any of these events happen, investors will not get all of their investment back, and the only benefit from an investment will be the tax credits received.
The sale or refinancing of the apartment complexes is dependent upon the following material factors:
· The necessity of obtaining the consent of the operating general partners;
· The necessity of obtaining the approval of any governmental agency(ies) providing government assistance to the apartment complex; and
· The uncertainty of the market.
Any sale may occur well after the fifteen-year federal housing tax credit compliance period.
We have insufficient sources of cash to pay our existing liabilities.
We currently do not have sufficient cash resources to satisfy our financial liabilities. Furthermore, we do not anticipate that we will have sufficient available cash to pay our future financial liabilities. Substantially all of our existing liabilities are payable to our general partner and its affiliates. Though the amounts payable to the general partner and its affiliates are contractually currently payable, we do not believe that the general partner or its affiliates will demand immediate payment of these contractual obligations in the near term; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. We would be materially adversely affected if the general partner or its affiliates demanded payment in the near term of our existing contractual liabilities or suspended the provision of services to us because of its inability to satisfy these obligations. All monies currently deposited, or that will be deposited in the future, into the Partnership’s working capital reserves are intended to be utilized to pay our existing and future liabilities.

Item 2. Properties
As of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, the Partnership held limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnerships described below. In each instance the apartment complexes owned by the applicable Operating Partnerships are eligible for the federal housing tax credit. Initial occupancy of a unit in each apartment complex which complied with the minimum set-aside test (i.e., initial occupancy by tenants with incomes equal to no more than a designated percentage of area median income) and the rent restriction test (i.e., gross rent charged tenants does not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to as “Qualified Occupancy.” Each of the Operating Partnerships and each of the respective apartment complexes are described more fully in the Prospectus or applicable report on Form 8-K. The general partner believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.
Please refer to Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a more detailed discussion of operational difficulties experienced by some of the Operating Partnerships.

Item 5. Market for the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Interests, Related Partnership Matters and Issuer Purchases of Partnership Interests
There is no established public trading market for the Units and it is not anticipated that any public market will develop for the purchase and sale of any Units.
As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership had 2,086 registered holders of an aggregate of 26,501 Units.
The Partnership made no distributions to its limited partners from Operating Partnership cash flow from its inception on May 13, 1987 through March 31, 2010. Because the Partnership invested in Operating Partnerships owning apartment complexes, which receive government assistance, the cash distributions which may be made by the Operating Partnerships are often restricted. The Partnership does not anticipate that it will provide significant cash distributions to its Limited Partners in circumstances other than refinancing or sale of apartment complexes by the Operating Partnerships.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements such as our intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, strategies and predictions of our future activities, or other future events or conditions. Such statements are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by these Acts. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including the factors identified in Part I, Item 1 of this Report. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in their forward-looking statements, the inclusion of information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.
Liquidity
The Partnership’s primary source of funds is the proceeds of the Public Offering. Other sources of liquidity have included (i) interest earned on capital contributions held pending investment or held for working capital reserves and (ii) cash distributions, if any, from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. Both of these sources of liquidity are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership. The Partnership is currently accruing the annual asset management fees. Asset management fees accrued during the year ended March 31, 2010 were $63,276 due to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership (BCAMLP). During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 the Partnership paid $450,000 in asset management fees. Total asset management fees accrued as of March 31, 2010 were $6,121,807. Pursuant to the Partnership agreement, these liabilities will be deferred until the Partnership receives sale or refinancing proceeds from Operating Partnerships, and at that time proceeds from such sales or refinancing would be used to satisfy these liabilities.
Affiliates of the general partner have advanced $320,544 to the Partnership to pay various third party operating expenses as of March 31, 2010. In addition, the Partnership did not accrue expenses other than the annual asset management fees that have been incurred by but not yet reimbursed to affiliates. These and any additional advances and accruals will be repaid, without interest, from available cash flow, reporting fees or the proceeds of sales or refinancing of the Partnership’s interests in Operating Partnerships. Cash flow and reporting fees will be added to the Partnership’s working capital and will be available to meet future third party obligations of the Partnership. The Partnership is currently pursuing, and will continue to aggressively pursue, available cash flow and reporting fees. No significant distributions of cash flow from the Operating Partnerships are anticipated on a long term or short term basis due to the restrictions on rents which apply to low-income apartment complexes.
Capital Resources
The Partnership received $26,501,000 in subscriptions for Units (at $1,000 per Unit) during the period February 2, 1988 to September 21, 1988 pursuant to the Public Offering, resulting in net proceeds available for investment in Operating Partnerships (after payment of acquisition fees and expenses and funding of a reserve) of approximately $18,550,700.
As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership had committed to investments requiring cash payments of $18,613,793, all of which has been paid. At March 31, 2010, the Partnership held working capital of $189,859. Since the Partnership has completed funding of all investments, it anticipates that there should be no significant need for capital resources in the future.
Results of Operations
The Partnership was formed with the investment objectives set forth above under Item 1. The Partnership incurs an annual asset management fee to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership in an amount equal to 0.5% of the aggregate cost of the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of certain partnership management and reporting fees paid or payable by the Operating Partnerships. The annual asset management fee incurred for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $(51,717) and $85,418, respectively. The amounts incurred are net of reporting fees received of $114,993 and $5,180, respectively. Because the Partnership is not expected to receive any significant cash flow from the Operating Partnerships in subsequent years, the annual asset management fee is currently being deferred and is expected to be paid from the proceeds of sales or refinancing of the Partnership’s interests in Operating Partnerships. The amount is expected to continue to decrease in future years as additional interests in Operating Partnerships are sold and the portion of the fee attributed to those Operating Partnerships is no longer incurred.
The Partnership expects that all of its cash receipts will be used to pay third party operating expenses. The Partnership reported interest income of $482 and $435, respectively, in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership received $114,993 and $5,180, respectively, of reporting fees from the Operating Partnerships. Reporting fee income in the current fiscal year was higher primarily due to the collection of accrued reporting fees received from Operating Partnerships sold in the current fiscal year. No other significant sources of income are anticipated.
As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership held limited partnership interests in 10 and 13 Operating Partnerships, respectively. There were three sales of the Operating Partnerships in the year ended March 31, 2010. The apartment complex owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the federal housing tax credit. Occupancy of a unit in each apartment complex which initially complied with the minimum set-aside test (i.e., occupancy tenants with incomes equal to no more than a certain percentage of area median income) and the rent restriction test (i.e., gross rent charged tenants does not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to as “Qualified Occupancy”. Each of the Operating Partnerships and each of the respective apartment complexes are described more fully in the Prospectus or applicable report on Form 8-K. The general partner believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.
As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Qualified Occupancy for the Partnership was 100%. The Partnership had a total of 10 properties at March 31, 2010, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.
For the tax years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Partnership generated $3,726,599 and ($14,323), respectively, in passive tax income (losses) that were passed through to the investors. As of December 31, 2003 all tax credits guaranteed by the Operating Partnerships had been realized and no further credits are anticipated.
In June 2007, the investment general partner of Lovington Housing approved an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed on December 22, 2009. The sales price was $1,180,279, which includes the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $974,813 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partners of $105,248. Of the total proceeds received, $76,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the
balance represents proceeds from the sale. Of the remaining proceeds, $7,500 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds from the sale of $21,748 will be returned to cash reserves held by the Partnership. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid partnership management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of Units held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of the proceeds from the sale, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $21,748 as of December 31, 2009.
In July 2008, the investment general partner entered into an agreement to transfer its interest in Nicollet Island Historic Homes to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $1,683,669 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partner of $20,000. Of the total proceeds received, $10,000 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $10,000 were returned to cash reserves held by the Partnership. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of Units held by each investor at the time of distribution. In addition, the investment general partner on behalf of the investment limited partnership entered into an investment limited partner interest pledge agreement with the Operating Partnership for receipt of a residual payment. Under the terms of the investment limited partner interest pledge agreement, if the property owned by the Operating Partnership is refinanced or sold, within 5 years from the initial transfer date, there would be a residual payment of $100 plus the capital transaction proceeds distributable to the investment limited partnership in accordance with the Operating Partnership Agreement in effect at the date the investment limited partner transferred its interest. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of the proceeds from the sale, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $10,000 as of September 30, 2008.
In December 2008, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Platteville Apartments to a non-affiliated entity for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $538,907 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partner of $16,167. Of the total proceeds received, $5,000 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $11,167 was returned to cash reserves held by the Partnership. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of Units held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses
generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of the proceeds from the sale, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $11,167 as of December 31, 2008.
In January 2009, the investment general partner of Belen Apartments LP approved an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed on December 31, 2009. The sales price was $2,150,000, which includes the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $1,443,323 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partners of $463,319. Of the total proceeds received, $900 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the sale. Of the remaining proceeds, $15,000 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds from the sale of $447,419 were returned to cash reserves held by the Partnership. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid partnership management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment limited partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of Units held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of the proceeds from the sale, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, was recorded in the amount of $447,419 as of December 31, 2009. The sale of the Operating Partnership had been recognized as of December 31, 2009, and the proceeds were received in the first quarter of 2010. In March 2010, additional sale proceeds of $5,456 were received and returned to the cash reserves held by the Partnership.
In April 2009, the investment general partner transferred 99% of its interest in Shelbyville FH, Limited to a non-affiliated entity for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $580,848 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partner of $17,411. Of the total proceeds received, $5,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $7,500 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $4,911 were returned to cash reserves held by the Partnership. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of Units held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of the proceeds from the sale, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $4,911 as of April 30, 2009. The transfer of the remaining 1% investment partnership interest in the Operating Partnership closed in May 2010 for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $5,867 and cash proceeds of $176. The remaining proceeds of $176 will be returned to cash reserves and recorded as a gain as of June 30, 2010.

The remaining proceeds of $19,178 were returned to cash reserves held by the Partnership. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of Units held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of the proceeds from the sale, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $19,178 as of April 30, 2009. The transfer of the remaining 1% investment partnership interest in the Operating Partnership closed in May 2010 for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $9,267 and cash proceeds of $278. The remaining proceeds of $278 will be returned to cash reserves and recorded as a gain as of June 30, 2010.
In April 2009, the investment general partner transferred 99% of its interest in Warren Properties, Limited to a non-affiliated entity for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $1,330,935 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partner of $39,928. Of the total proceeds received, $12,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer.

The remaining proceeds of $10,428 were returned to cash reserves held by the Partnership. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of Units held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of the proceeds from the sale, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $428 as of June 30, 2009. An adjustment to the gain on sale has been recorded in the amount of $10,000 as of September 30, 2009. The transfer of the remaining 1% investment partnership interest in the Operating Partnership closed in May 2010 for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $13,444 and cash proceeds of $403. The remaining proceeds of $403 will be returned to cash reserves and recorded as a gain as of June 30, 2010.
In January 2010, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Brookhollow Manor Limited to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $1,322,745 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partner of $25,000.

Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of the proceeds from the sale, net of the overhead and expenses, has been recorded in the amount of $9,906 as of March 31, 2010.

Principal Accounting Policies and Estimates
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require the Partnership to make various estimates and assumptions. The following section is a summary of some aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations. The Partnership believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the financial statements.
The Partnership is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which are primarily investments in limited partnerships. The Partnership accounts for its investment in limited partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Partnership does not control the operations of the Operating Partnerships. The purpose of an impairment analysis is to verify that the real estate investment balance reflected on the balance sheet does not exceed the value of the underlying investments.
If the book value of the Partnership’s investment in an Operating Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, which generally consists of the remaining future Low-Income Housing Credits allocable to the Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership, the Partnership reduces its investment in the Operating Partnership and includes this reduction in equity in loss of investment of limited partnerships.
GAAP provides guidance on when a company should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in its financial statements and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE. A VIE is a legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets, which must be consolidated by a company if it is the primary beneficiary because it absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses, the majority of the expected returns, or both.
Based on this guidance, the Operating Partnerships in which the Partnership invests meet the definition of a VIE. However, management does not consolidate the Partnership’s interests in these VIEs under this guidance, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary. The Partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheet, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements.
The Partnership’s balance in investment in Operating Partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on these investments, represents its maximum exposure to loss. The Partnership’s exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying properties as well as the strength of the local general partners and their guarantee against credit recapture.
Recent Accounting Changes
In June 2006, accounting guidance for Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of the accounting guidance for Accounting for Income Taxes, was issued. This requires all taxpayers to analyze all material positions they have taken or plan to take in all tax returns that have been filed or should have been filed with all taxing authorities for all years still subject to challenge by those taxing authorities. The Partnership has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Partnership’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Partnership is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Partnership has no other tax positions, which must be considered for disclosure.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and shall be applied prospectively except for very limited transactions. In February 2008, the FASB delayed for one year implementation of the guidance as it pertains to certain non-financial assets and liabilities. The Partnership adopted GAAP for Fair Value Measurements effective April 1, 2008, except as it applies to those non-financial assets and liabilities, for which the effective date was April 1, 2009. The Partnership has determined that adoption of this guidance has no material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued accounting guidance for The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This guidance permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value election is designed to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. On April 1, 2008, the Partnership adopted GAAP for The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and elected not to apply the provisions to its eligible financial assets and financial liabilities on the date of adoption. Accordingly, the initial application of the guidance had no effect on the Partnership.
In November 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance on Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations that addresses how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined, how an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment should be performed, how an equity method investee’s issuance of shares should be accounted for, and how to account for a change in an investment from the equity method to the cost method. This guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership adopted the guidance for the interim quarterly period beginning April 1, 2009. The impact of adopting it does not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations.
Recent Accounting Changes - continued
In April 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance for Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This requires disclosure about the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements. It became effective for American Affordable Housing II L.P. as of and for the interim period ended June 30, 2009 and has no impact on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding subsequent events, which was subsequently updated in February 2010. This guidance established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was therefore adopted by the Partnership for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the subsequent events that the Partnership reports, either through recognition or disclosure, in the financial statements. In February 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on subsequent events to remove the requirement to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, alleviating conflicts with current SEC guidance. This amendment was effective immediately and therefore the Partnership did not include the disclosure in this Form 10-K.
In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). The amended guidance modifies the consolidation model to one based on control and economics, and replaces the current quantitative primary beneficiary analysis with a qualitative analysis. The primary beneficiary of a VIE will be the entity that has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the amended guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE and adds an additional reconsideration event for determination of whether an entity is a VIE. Additionally, the amendment requires enhanced and expanded disclosures around VIEs. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2010 is not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification (Codification). Effective July 1, 2009, the Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Codification is intended to reorganize, rather than change, existing GAAP. Accordingly, all references to currently existing GAAP have been removed and have been replaced with plain English explanations of the Partnership’s accounting policies. The adoption of the Codification did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 9a. Controls & Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s general partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of C&M Management, Inc., carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Partnership’s “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Partnership required to be included in the Partnership’s periodic SEC filings.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Partnership is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Partnership’s internal control system over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Partnership’s management regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Due to inherent limitations, an internal control system over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
The Partnership’s general partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of Boston Capital Associates V LLC, assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal controls and procedures over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010. In making this assessment, the Partnership’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of March 31, 2010, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
(c) Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended March 31, 2010 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
