NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
the results of operations for Access Capital Strategies Community Investment
Fund, Inc. and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results of operations and other data for the three months ended August 31,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any
other interim period or the fiscal year ending May 31, 2001. The information in
this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
accompanying notes included in the May 31, 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
Fund has not changed its accounting and reporting policies from those disclosed
in its May 31, 2000 financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the date of the statement of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses
for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates; any such
differences are expected to be immaterial to the net assets of the Fund.
This report covers the activity from June 1 to August 31, 2000.
ITEM 2:
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This quarterly report contains certain statements that may be considered
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a
result of, among factors, changes in interest rates, fluctuations in assets
under management and other sources of fee income, changes in assumptions
used in making such forward-looking statements, as well as the factors
listed under "Risk Factors and Factors Affecting Forward Looking
Statements" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
May 31, 2000.
OVERVIEW
Access Capital Strategies Community Investment Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is a
non-diversified closed-end management company electing status as a business
development company. The Fund is structured to provide a secondary market for
special securities created to meet certain aspects of the Community Reinvestment
Act ("CRA"). Investors in the Fund must designate a particular geography within
the United States as part of their agreement to purchase Fund shares. The Fund's
Manager, Access Capital Strategies LLC ("Access"), agrees to invest only in
areas where Fund shareholders have made targeted designations. In addition to
their geographic specificity, Fund investments must be of U.S. Government Agency
or AAA credit quality and must support Community Reinvestment Activity.
COMPLIANCE
To qualify as a Regulated Investment Company, the Fund must, among other things,
satisfy a diversification standard under the Code such that, at the close of
each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, (i) not more than 25% of the value of
its total assets is invested in the securities (other than government securities
or securities of other
<PAGE> 8
RICs) of a single issuer, or two or more issuers which the Fund controls (under
a 20% test) and which are engaged in the same or similar trades or business or
related trades or businesses, and (ii) at least 50% of the market value of its
total assets is represented by cash, cash items, government securities,
securities of other RICs and other securities (with each investment in such
other securities limited so that not more than 5% of the value of the Fund's
total assets is invested in the securities of a single issuer and the Fund does
not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer).
Management believes the Fund was in compliance with the above requirements for
the period ended August 31, 2000.
FUND OPERATIONS
INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
The Fund purchased $2,508,174 in new securities with yields to maturity of 7.4%
to 7.5%. In the year ago quarter ended August 31, 1999 the Fund purchased $14.5
million in new securities at yields to maturity of 6.91% to 7.62%.
The Fund sold one $1.85 million 7.5% Freddie Mac Fixed Rate CRA MBS for a gain
of $18,619 and three 6% FannieMae Fixed Rate CRA MBS (total principal of $1.39
million) for a loss of $73,303, resulting in a net loss on securities sold
during the quarter ended August 31, 2000 of $54,683. When added to losses on
principal paydowns of $6,109, the loss for the period was $60,792. In the
comparable quarter ended August 31, 1999 the Fund sold $7.4 million of
securities for a net loss of $75,001, when added to losses on principal paydowns
of $6,103 the loss for the period was $81,104.
The Fund is permitted to use leverage in its investment program. For the period
ended August 31, 2000 the Fund averaged $7.8 million in borrowings at an average
rate of 6.08% compared to the period ended August 31, 1999 when the Fund
averaged $2.3 million in borrowing at an average rate of 5.43%. In both periods,
the total proceeds from borrowings were used to support additional investments
in the Fund's Designated Target Regions.
NET ASSETS AND FUND HOLDINGS AT AUGUST 31,2000
At August 31, 2000 the Fund's Net Asset Value was $52.4 million, or $97,865.16
per share. At the prior quarter end May 31, 2000 the Net Asset Value was $49.9
million, or $94,992.49 per share. A year ago at August 31, 1999 the Fund's Net
Asset Value was $26.1 million, or $97,983.57 per share.
The $2.5 million, or 5.0%, quarter-to-quarter increase in net assets from $49.9
million to $52.4 million was attributable to a combination of $1 million of new
shares sold and appreciation in the market value of Fund assets due to lower
interest rates. The $26.4 million, or 97.0%, year-to-year increase in net assets
was attributable almost entirely to the sale of $25.75 million in new shares
sold.
For the quarter ended August 31, 2000 the Net Asset Value per share of
$97,865.16 represented an increase of $2,873, or 3.0%, over the prior quarter
May 31, 2000 Net Asset Value per share of $94,992.49 and a decrease of $118.41,
or -0.1%, from the year ago August 31, 1999 Net Asset Value per share of
$97,983.57. The quarter-to-quarter increase is attributable to appreciation in
the Fund's underlying assets during a time of generally declining interest
rates. Although rates were volatile during the period, the year-to-year changes
for Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities from August 31, 1999 to August 31, 2000
were minimal.
The Fund owned:
1 State Street Bank repurchase agreement in the amount of $91,116
1 GinnieMae project loan in the amount of $2.1 million
<PAGE> 9
1 U.S. Government guaranteed economic development note in the amount of $1.3
million
4 FannieMae multi-family mortgage backed securities with prepayment
protection in the aggregate amount of $4.1 million
46 Fixed Rate U.S. Agency Mortgage Backed Securities in the aggregate amount
of $50.7 million
INVESTMENT INCOME
The Fund had investment income net of all fees (as discussed below) of $893,652
for the quarter ended August 31, 2000, representing a 141% increase from the
year ago period ended August 31, 1999 when the Fund had investment income of
$369,999. This increase is attributable to a combination of factors including a
lengthening of maturities and a 100.4% increase in average net assets invested
at higher yields for the quarter ended August 31, 2000 compared to the quarter
ended August 31, 1999.
MANAGEMENT FEES & EXPENSES
Access Capital Strategies LLC, the Fund's Manager is paid an annual management
fee, paid quarterly, of fifty basis points (0.50%) of the Fund's average monthly
gross assets less accrued liabilities, other than indebtedness for borrowing.
Access pays all expenses incurred for the organization and operation of the
Fund, including Custody of Fund assets. Access is reimbursed for these expenses
up to a total of eight basis points (0.08%) of the Fund's monthly net assets;
three basis points (0.03%) of the Fund's monthly net assets for Custody; three
basis points (0.03%) of the Fund's monthly net assets for Administration; and
two basis points (0.02%) of the Fund's monthly net assets as reimbursement for
organizational expenses.
For the quarter ended August 31, 2000 the Management Fee was $43,726 and the
combined reimbursement of operating expenses were $6,996. From June 1, 1999 to
August 31, 1999 the Management Fee was $32,283 and the combined reimbursement
fees were $5,165. These increases were due to increases in the net assets of the
Fund.
YIELD
For the quarter ending August 31, 2000 the SEC current yield was 6.99% compared
to SEC current yield of 6.23% for the year ago period ending August 31, 1999.
This increase is due to higher interest rates.
For the quarter ending August 31, 2000 the ratio of net investment income to
average net assets was 6.9% compared to 5.9% for the year ago period. This
increase is due to new Fund purchases in a higher interest rate environment and
a movement towards longer-term maturities in Fund assets.
REALIZED GAIN/LOSS
For the quarter ended August 31, 2000 the realized loss was $60,792 on principal
paydowns and sales of $3.24 million in securities compared to a realized loss of
$81,103 on principal paydowns and sales of $7.4 million in securities in the
comparable year ago period.
DIVIDEND PAID
The Fund distributes to shareholders substantially all of its net investment
income and net realized capital gains, if any, as determined for income tax
purposes. Applicable law, including provisions of the 1940 Act, may limit the
amount of dividends and other distributions payable by the Fund. Substantially
all of the Fund's net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain
over net short-term capital loss) and the excess of net short-term capital gain
over net long-term capital loss, if any, are distributed annually with the
Fund's dividend distribution in December.
The Fund pays dividends on a calendar quarter. The Fund paid a quarterly
dividend of $1,636.09 per share on
<PAGE> 10
July 5, 2000 to shareholders of record June 30, 2000. A year ago, the Fund paid
a quarterly dividend of $1,327.30 per share on July 6, 1999 to shareholders of
record June 30, 1999. The higher dividend is attributable to higher yields in
the portfolio as a result of a lengthening of the Fund's average maturity in its
investments and the higher yields obtained from investment of prepayments and
proceeds from sales and new share purchases.
TOTAL RETURN
For the quarter ended August 31, 2000 the total return was 4.76% compared to a
total return of -0.01% in the comparable year ago period. The increase in total
return was due to a decline in interest rates and appreciation in longer term
spreads of Agency MBS over U.S. Treasuries.
FUND DESIGNATED TARGET REGIONS AT AUGUST 31, 2000
The Fund's Designated Target Regions ("DTRs") are provided by Fund shareholders
at the time of investment. At August 31, 2000 DTRs were:

ITEM 3:
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A full discussion of the risks associated with ownership of Fund shares appears
in the Fund's Private Offering Memorandum. The Fund's market risks may be
summarized as follows:
Credit Risk. All investments made by the Fund must be in securities of Agency or
AAA credit quality. Fund investments will typically have one or more form of
Agency or AAA credit enhancement. All credit risk of default will be borne by
the credit enhancer.
Liquidity Risk. Securities purchased by the Fund will be privately placed debt
instruments. The market for resale of these securities may be limited.
Furthermore, the Fund may pay a premium for securities with special CRA
characteristics without any assurance that a comparable premium can be received
upon sale of the security.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund will generally invest in fixed rate investments
that have their market values directly affected by changes in prevailing
interest rates. An increase in rates will generally reduce the value of Fund
investments and a decline in interest rates will generally increase the value of
those investments. There may be exceptions due to shifts in the yield curve, the
performance of individual securities and other market factors.
