GATEWAY TAX CREDIT FUND, LTD.
(A Florida Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:
Gateway Tax Credit Fund, Ltd. ("Gateway"), a Florida Limited Partnership,
was formed October 27, 1987 under the laws of Florida. Operations commenced
on June 30, 1988. Gateway invests, as a limited partner, in other limited
partnerships ("Project Partnerships"), each of which owns and operates
apartment complexes expected to qualify for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.
Gateway will terminate on December 31, 2040 or sooner, in accordance with the
terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement. Gateway closed the offering on
March 1, 1990 after receiving Limited and General Partner capital
contributions of $25,566,000 and $1,000, respectively. The fiscal year of
Gateway for reporting purposes ends on March 31.
Raymond James Partners, Inc. and Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc.,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc., are the General
Partner and Managing General Partner, respectively. The Managing General
Partner manages and controls the business of Gateway.
Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations and tax
credits are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners. Profit or loss and cash distributions from sales of properties
will be allocated as formulated in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Combined Statements
The accompanying statements include, on a combined basis, the accounts of
Gateway, Village Apartments of Sparta Limited Partnership and Village
Apartments of Divernon Limited Partnership ("Combined Entities"), two Project
Partnerships in which Gateway has invested. As of October 1, 1996 and
October 1, 1997, respectively, an affiliate of Gateway's Managing General
Partner, Value Partners, Inc. became the general partner of the Combined
Entities. Since the general partner of the Combined Entities is now an
affiliate of Gateway, these combined financial statements include the
financial activity of the Combined Entities for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated. Gateway has elected to report the results of
operations of the Combined Entities on a 3-month lag basis, consistent with
the presentation of financial information of all Project Partnerships.
Basis of Accounting
Gateway utilizes the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are
recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when obligations are
incurred.
Gateway accounts for its investments as the sole limited partner in Project
Partnerships ("Investments in Project Partnerships"), with the exception of
the Combined Entity, using the equity method of accounting and reports the
equity in losses of the Project Partnerships on a 3-month lag in the
Statements of Operations. Under the equity method, the Investments in
Project Partnerships initially include:
1) Gateway's capital contribution,
2) Acquisition fees paid to the General Partner for services rendered in
selecting properties for acquisition, and
3) Acquisition expenses including legal fees, travel and other
miscellaneous costs relating to acquiring properties.
Quarterly the Investments in Project Partnerships are increased or decreased
as follows:
1) Increased for equity in income or decreased for equity in losses of
the Project Partnerships,
2) Decreased for cash distributions received from the Project
Partnerships, and
3) Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees and expenses.
Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over 35 years, as this
is the average estimated useful life of the underlying assets. The
amortization is shown as amortization expense on the Statements of
Operations.
Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreements for the Project
Partnerships, cash losses generated by the Project Partnerships are allocated
to the general partners of those partnerships. In subsequent years, cash
profits, if any, are first allocated to the general partners to the extent of
the allocation of prior years' cash losses.
Since Gateway invests as a limited partner, and therefore is not obligated
to fund losses or make additional capital contributions, it does not
recognize losses from individual Project Partnerships to the extent that
these losses would reduce the investment in those Project Partnerships below
zero. The suspended losses will be used to offset future income from the
individual Project Partnerships.
Gateway recognizes a decline in the carrying value of its investment in the
Project Partnerships when there is evidence of a non-temporary decline in the
recoverable amount of the investment. There is a possibility that the
estimates relating to reserves for non-temporary declines in carrying value
of the investments in Project Partnerships may be subject to material near
term adjustments.
Gateway, as a limited partner in the Project Partnerships, is subject to
risks inherent in the ownership of property which are beyond its control,
such as fluctuations in occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations in
rental schedules, proper maintenance and continued eligibility of tax
credits. If the cost of operating a property exceeds the rental income
earned thereon, Gateway may deem it in its best interest to voluntarily
provide funds in order to protect its investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
It is Gateway's policy to include short-term investments with an original
maturity of three months or less in Cash and Cash Equivalents. Short-term
investments are comprised of money market mutual funds.
Capitalization and Depreciation
Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost and provides for
depreciation using the modified accelerated cost recovery system method for
financial and tax reporting purposes in amounts adequate to amortize costs
over the lives of the applicable assets as follows:
Buildings 27-1/2 years
Equipment 7 years
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. Upon disposal of depreciable property, the appropriate property
accounts are reduced by the related costs and accumulated depreciation. The
resulting gains and losses are reflected in the statement of income.
Rental Income
Rental income, principally from short-term leases on the Combined Entity's
apartment units, is recognized as income under the accrual method as the
rents become due.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject Gateway to concentrations
of credit risk consist of cash investments in a money market mutual fund that
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates are based on
management's knowledge and experience. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Investment in Securities
Effective April 1, 1995, Gateway adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities ("FAS 115"). Under FAS 115, Gateway is required to categorize its
debt securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading
securities, dependent upon Gateway's intent in holding the securities.
Gateway's intent is to hold all of its debt securities (U. S. Treasury
Security Strips) until maturity and to use these reserves to fund Gateway's
ongoing operations. Interest income is recognized ratably on the U.S.
Treasury Strips using the effective yield to maturity.
Offering and Commission Costs
Offering and commission costs were charged against Limited Partners' Equity
upon the admission of Limited Partners.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been made in these financial statements,
as income taxes are a liability of the partners rather than of Gateway.
Reclassifications
For comparability, the 1997 figures have been reclassified, where
appropriate, to conform with the financial statement presentation used in
1998.
Basis of Preparation
The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included with the Partnership's Form
10-K for the year ended March 31, 1998. In the opinion of management, these
financial statements include adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to fairly summarize the Partnership's financial
position and results of operations. The results of operations for the
periods may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES:
The December 31, 1998 Balance Sheet includes Investments in Securities
equal to $2,197,444 ($397,040 and $1,800,404). These investments consist of
U. S. Treasury Security Strips at their cost, plus accreted interest income
of $1,068,317. The estimated market value at December 31, 1998 of these debt
securities is $2,407,406 resulting in a gross unrealized gain of $209,962.
As of December 31, 1998, the cost and accreted interest by contractual
maturities is as follows:
Due within 1 year $ 397,040
After 1 year through 5 years 1,463,023
After 5 years through 10 years 337,381
----------
Total Amount Carried on Balance Sheet $2,197,444
==========
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Payable to General Partners primarily represents the asset management
fees owed to the General Partners at the end of the period. It is unsecured,
due on demand and, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement, non-
interest bearing. Within the next 12 months, the Managing General Partner
does not intend to demand payment on the portion of Asset Management Fees
payable classified as long-term on the Balance Sheet.

a result of combining the operating expenses of Divernon.
Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships for the nine months ended December
31, 1998 decreased from $776,632 for the nine months ended December 31, 1997
to $668,713 primarily as a result of not including losses of $916,717 in 1998
as compared to $865,017 in 1997, as these losses would reduce the investment
in certain Project Partnerships below zero and excluding the losses of
Divernon in 1998. In general, it is common in the real estate industry to
experience losses for financial and tax reporting purposes because of the non-
cash expenses of depreciation and amortization. As a result, management
expects Gateway will continue to report its equity in Project Partnerships as
a loss for tax and financial reporting purposes.
In total, the Partnership had a net loss of $1,016,922 for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998. However, after adjusting for amortization, accreted
interest income, the changes in operating assets and liabilities, and the
equity in losses of Project Partnerships, net cash used in operating
activities was $343,833. The net cash provided by investing activities was
$130,851 consisting of $71,003 in cash distributions received from Project
Partnerships and $73,026 from matured Zero Coupons.
Liquidity and Capital Resources -
Gateway's capital resources are used to pay General and Administrative
operating costs including personnel, supplies, data processing, travel, and
legal and accounting associated with the administration and monitoring of
Gateway and the Project Partnerships. The capital resources are also used to
pay the Asset Management Fee due the Managing General Partner, but only to
the extent that Gateway's remaining resources are sufficient to fund
Gateway's ongoing needs. (Payment of any Asset Management Fee due but unpaid
at the time Gateway sells its interests in the Project Partnerships is
subordinated to the investors return of their original capital contribution.)
The sources of funds to pay the operating costs are short term investments
and interest earned thereon, the maturity of U.S. Treasury Security Strips
("Zero Coupon Treasuries") which were purchased with funds set aside for this
purpose, and cash distributed to Gateway from the operations of the Project
Partnerships. At December 31, 1998, Gateway had $332,385 of short term
investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $2,197,444 in Zero
Coupon Treasuries with maturities providing $292,000 in fiscal year 1999
increasing to $521,000 in the year 2004. Management believes these sources
of funds are sufficient to meet Gateway's current and ongoing operating costs
for the foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management Fee.
